Abstract

Bed base shape adjustment comprises use of a graduated measuring bar (1) with a series of adjustable feelers (5) corresponding to the positions of the bed slats, mounted on a base. With the person for whom the bed is being made standing with his/her back and then side to the bar, the feelers are adjusted so their transverse end bars (9) are in contact with the surface of the head, neck, body and legs and fixed with screws. Using the measurements obtained, the bed slats are then adjusted and fixed in place by wedges.

Description

l Procédé de détermination d'un profil de sommier de lit, notamment del Method for determining a profile of a bed base, in particular of

sommier à lattes, adapté à la morphologie de chaque individu et dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé. En moyenne, un tiers de la vie d' un individu, soit environ 24 ans, se passe en position horizontale sur une surface de couchage. Dès lors, cette surface revêt une  slatted base, adapted to the morphology of each individual and device for implementing the method. On average, a third of an individual 's life, or around 24 years, is spent in a horizontal position on a sleeping surface. Therefore, this surface takes on a

importance essentielle dans le phénomène de mal de dos.  essential importance in the phenomenon of back pain.

Les sommiers étant généralement plats, différents systèmes existent pour se conformer aux variations de profil anatomique, par exemple: lattes à flexibilité variable, embouts souples de fixation de lattes, matelas à structure de flexibilité variable..... Ces systèmes peuvent êtres qualifiés de dynamiques, par opposition à la présente invention  The box springs being generally flat, different systems exist to conform to variations in anatomical profile, for example: slats with variable flexibility, flexible end pieces for fixing slats, mattresses with variable flexibility structure ..... These systems can be qualified as dynamic as opposed to the present invention

qui se veut statique.which wants to be static.

Le principe de la présente invention réside dans le fait de relever le profil du corps de l'individu en position verticale. Après avoir relevé les profil dos et côté, et en fonction des habitudes de l'individu, un profil moyen est retenu et répliqué à la surface  The principle of the present invention lies in raising the profile of the body of the individual in a vertical position. After having raised the back and side profiles, and according to the habits of the individual, an average profile is retained and replicated on the surface.

du sommier à modifier ou à construire.  of the box spring to be modified or built.

Les profils: 1) -individu, 2)-sommier, étant symétriques, le matelas n'a plus alors qu'un rôle d'isolant de confort, sa fonction principale étant par ailleurs  The profiles: 1) -individual, 2) -summer, being symmetrical, the mattress no longer has a role of comfort insulator, its main function being moreover

l'interactivité symétrique des profils individu / sommier.  symmetrical interactivity of individual / box spring profiles.

L'invention comprend: 1) Le ban de mesure du profil  The invention includes: 1) The profile measurement ban

2) La matérialisation du profil obtenu sur le sommier à modifier ou à construire.  2) The materialization of the profile obtained on the bed base to be modified or constructed.

1) BAN DE MESURE1) MEASURING BAN

La planche 1 schématise le ban en position de mesure, figure A: de côté, figure  Plate 1 shows the ban in measurement position, figure A: from the side, figure

B: de face.B: from the front.

Une règle graduée ( 1) est solidaire de la base (2) par l'intermédiaire du montant ( 3). La règle se déplace sur ce montant pour permettre le positionnement par rapport à l'individu. Une vis de blocage (6) immobilise la règle après le réglage. Une table (7) réglable en hauteur, contribue aussi au positionnement de l'individu en fonction de sa position de couchage sur le sommier à modifier ou à construire.Un rail ( 4) solidaire de la règle ( I) supporte des platines coulissantes ( 8) sur lesquelles sont fixés les tubes support de piges ( 9). Une graduation métrique verticale sur la règle, sert au positionnement des piges, qui sont positionnées de façon identique à la position des du sommier à modifier ou du sommier à construire. Le schéma ne comporte que 18 piges  A graduated ruler (1) is integral with the base (2) via the upright (3). The ruler moves on this amount to allow positioning in relation to the individual. A locking screw (6) immobilizes the rule after adjustment. A table (7) adjustable in height, also contributes to the positioning of the individual according to their sleeping position on the bed base to be modified or built. A rail (4) integral with the rule (I) supports sliding plates ( 8) on which the rod support tubes (9) are fixed. A vertical metric scale on the ruler is used for positioning the rods, which are positioned identically to the position of the bed base to be modified or the bed base to be built. The diagram only includes 18 rods

pour simplification, en fait il y a 1 pige par latte.  for simplicity, in fact there is 1 rod per slat.

La planche 2 donne le détail d'un ensemble pige - support de pige, par rapport à  Plate 2 gives the detail of a rod-rod assembly, in relation to

la règle.Rule.

Détail: La platine coulissante ( 8) sur le rail (4) supporte le tube ( 10) ou coulisse la tige (5) sur laquelle est fixée la pige ( 9). La vis (11) bloque la tige en position de palpage A la position zéro de la pige contre le tube (10) correspond la position zéro à l'aplomb de l'arrière de la tige sur la graduation de la règle ( 1). Dans l'exemple schématisé, la pige indique une correction à effectuer de 23mm. C 'est cette valeur qui  Detail: The sliding plate (8) on the rail (4) supports the tube (10) or slides the rod (5) on which the rod (9) is fixed. The screw (11) blocks the rod in the probing position. At the zero position of the rod against the tube (10) corresponds the zero position plumb with the back of the rod on the scale of the rule (1). In the schematic example, the rod indicates a correction to be made of 23mm. It is this value that

sera appliquée à la correction ou à la fabrication du sommier.  will be applied to the correction or the manufacture of the box spring.

La planche 3 donne les résultats de mesure des profils dos et côté d'un individu.  Plate 3 gives the measurement results of the back and side profiles of an individual.

Trois zones sont à observer: 1- tête 2- tronc, ou colonne vertébrale 3jambes 1) - tête: il y a une nette différence entre les deux profils. Si la personne n'utilise pas  Three areas are to be observed: 1- head 2- trunk, or spine 3 legs 1) - head: there is a clear difference between the two profiles. If the person is not using

d'oreiller ni de traversin, il convient de retenir le profil côté.  pillow or bolster, the side profile should be retained.

2) - tronc: on ne constate qu'une variation de courbe, d' allure identique, entre dos et côté. Il convient de retenir un profil moyen pour une personne pratiquant de façon égale chacune des deux positions. Si la personne utilise majoritairement une position, c'est le  2) - trunk: there is only a variation in curve, identical in appearance, between back and side. An average profile should be used for a person practicing each of the two positions equally. If the person mainly uses a position, it is the

profil de cette position qui sera appliqué.  profile of this position which will be applied.

3) - jambes: il convient de retenir le profil côté. Dans cette position, l'axe vertébral reste rectiligne. L'individu dormant sur le dos avec un profil côté conserve toujours son axe vertébral rectiligne, seules les jambes prennent, dans ce cas, une position de  3) - legs: the side profile should be retained. In this position, the vertebral axis remains rectilinear. The individual sleeping on the back with a side profile always retains its rectilinear vertebral axis, only the legs take, in this case, a position of

relaxation qui n'est pas préjudiciable à l'axe vertébral.  relaxation which is not detrimental to the vertebral axis.

Choix du matelas: L'épaisseur est comprise entre une épaisseur minimale dite de confort, et une épaisseur maximale, au-delà de laquelle l'effet correction de profil diminuerait progressivement en fonction de l'augmentation de l'épaisseur. Une épaisseur voisine de Ocm, composée d' une mousse à structure homogène, permettra de bien faire la liaison  Choice of mattress: The thickness is between a minimum thickness called comfort, and a maximum thickness, beyond which the profile correction effect would gradually decrease depending on the increase in thickness. A thickness close to Ocm, composed of a foam with a homogeneous structure, will make it possible to make the connection well

entre les deux profils.between the two profiles.

2) MATERIALISATION DU PROFIL AU SOMMIER  2) MATERIALIZATION OF THE PROFILE ON THE BED

Quatre solutions ont été étudiées: Solution I: - correction d' un sommier à lattes existant Solution 2 - sommier original à profil fixe Solution 3: - sommier original à profil variable Solution 4: - sommier original à toile tendue La planche 4 schématise chacune de ces solutions. Le pointillé gras (21) symbolise  Four solutions have been studied: Solution I: - correction of an existing slatted base Solution 2 - original fixed profile base Solution 3: - original variable profile base Solution 4: - original stretched base Plate 4 shows each of these solutions. The bold dotted line (21) symbolizes

le profil à reproduire pour chaque solution.  the profile to reproduce for each solution.

Solution 1: - La correction se fait à l'aide de cales (12), que 1' on colle sur les lattes existantes (13) à l'aide de ruban adhésif double face. Ces cales sont découpées dans une plaque de polystyrène extrudé; ce matériau, à la mise en oeuvre aisée, présente  Solution 1: - The correction is made using shims (12), which one sticks to the existing slats (13) using double-sided adhesive tape. These wedges are cut from an extruded polystyrene plate; this material, easy to use, has

une résistance suffisante à la compression.  sufficient resistance to compression.

Solution 2: - Le profil est directement reproduit sur les montants longitudinaux du sommier. Les lattes et leurs embouts sont directement clipsés sur ces montants  Solution 2: - The profile is directly reproduced on the longitudinal uprights of the bed base. The slats and their end caps are directly clipped onto these uprights

longitudinaux de sommier.bed bases.

Solution 3 - Le montant longitudinal du sommier supporte autant de tiges filetées (14) que de lattes (13). Les lattes sont reliées à la tige filetée par une cage (15) permettant la rotation de la tige filetée et l'oscillation de la latte par rapport à la tige filetée, pour se conformer au profil. Un soufflet enjoliveur (16) est placé entre la cage et le montant du sommier de lit.Un outil permet de visser simultanément les tiges filetées  Solution 3 - The longitudinal upright of the box spring supports as many threaded rods (14) as slats (13). The slats are connected to the threaded rod by a cage (15) allowing the rotation of the threaded rod and the oscillation of the slat relative to the threaded rod, to conform to the profile. An embellished bellows (16) is placed between the cage and the upright of the bed base. A tool allows to simultaneously screw the threaded rods

de chaque extrémité.from each end.

Solution 4: - Une toile (1 7),est tendue au-dessus d'axes rouleaux porteurs (18).  Solution 4: - A canvas (1 7) is stretched over the axes of the supporting rollers (18).

L'extrémité pied de la toile est solidaire de la traverse du sommier, l'extrémité tête passe au-dessus du rouleau de tête et est tendue endessous, soit par vis (19) manuellement, soit par vérin électrique. L'élasticité de tension de la toile, obtenue par un ressort (20), permet l'ajustement de la position de la toile au contact des rouleaux inférieurs, en fonction du profil et du poids de l'individu. Les rouleaux porteurs sont disposés prioritairement aux sommets d'inflexion des variations de la courbe de profil, d'autres rouleaux sont placés dans les parties basses de courbe pour limiter le débattement de la toile. La toile tendue assure la liaison entre les rouleaux. Dans l'exemple du schéma 4, planche 4, le montant longitudinal est découpé suivant le profil de l'individu. Il est possible, pour cette soltion de sommier No 4, d'avoir une formule universelle en rendant possible le positionnement des axes rouleaux dans le plan vertical, ainsi que dans  The foot end of the fabric is integral with the cross member of the bed base, the head end passes over the head roller and is stretched below, either by screw (19) manually, or by electric actuator. The elasticity of tension of the fabric, obtained by a spring (20), allows the adjustment of the position of the fabric in contact with the lower rollers, according to the profile and the weight of the individual. The supporting rollers are arranged in priority at the inflection peaks of the variations in the profile curve, other rollers are placed in the lower parts of the curve to limit the movement of the fabric. The stretched fabric provides the connection between the rollers. In the example of diagram 4, plate 4, the longitudinal upright is cut according to the profile of the individual. It is possible, for this box spring solution No 4, to have a universal formula by making possible the positioning of the roller axes in the vertical plane, as well as in

le plan horizontal.the horizontal plane.
