Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a slatted bed in which a plurality of slats are attached to the bed body at intervals.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in Figure 9, the conventional slatted bed is
A plurality of slat units 1 are installed in the longitudinal direction of the left and right side frames 2, 2 by fixing the ends of plate-shaped slats 3 with nails 4 to the left and right side frames 2, 2, respectively. They were formed side by side.

This kind of slatted bed is generally made of slat 3.
It is used with a futon or mat (hereinafter referred to collectively as mat) spread over it.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, the work of fixing the slats 3 to the side frames 2 with nails 4 is troublesome, and the mutual spacing P between the slats 3 is likely to be distorted, resulting in problems in assembly workability. In addition, in the case of a slatted bed with a low height H from the floor as shown in Fig. 9, when a pine is laid on top of it, the gap between the pine and the side frame 2 is almost closed and the slat 3 is closed. It becomes difficult to maintain ventilation and light in the gaps between them, and as a result, mold and bacteria are likely to grow on the floor, especially if they are left in the same place for a long period of time, such as in beds for sick people. The problem was that it was easy to get into a situation.

This idea was devised in light of the above circumstances, and it is easy to assemble, and even when the bed is low in height from the floor, there is no gap between the slats when the mat is laid down. To provide a hygienically preferable slatted bed capable of ensuring sufficient ventilation and lighting.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the slatted bed of the present invention has the above-mentioned features in a slat including an upper surface plate portion and side plate portions formed to protrude downward at each of both widthwise end portions of the upper surface plate portion. Engaging portions that engage with both side frames of the bed body are formed at the lower ends of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the side plate portion, and a plurality of these slats are engaged with the both side frames via the engaging portions. At the same time, by making these slats protrude above the both side frames, the vertical distance between the upper surface plate portion of the slat and the both side frames is set high enough to not be blocked by mats etc. laid on the slats. Moreover, a spacer is provided between the slats to determine their mutual spacing.

[Effect]

In the slatted bed having the above structure, the slat is positioned in the width direction of the bed body by engaging its engaging portion with both side frames of the bed body.
Furthermore, the mutual spacing between the slats is ensured by the spacer. Furthermore, since the slat includes a top plate portion and side plate portions that protrude downward from both ends of the top plate portion in the width direction, the top side plate portion provides the slat with large bending rigidity. Even if a mat is laid on top, the vertical gap between the top plate of the slat and the side frames of the bed body is not blocked by the mat, so the space provided between the slats is ventilation and lighting are ensured.

〔Example〕

Figures 1 to 3 show a slatted bed according to an embodiment of this invention, in which Figure 1 is an overall perspective view, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a side view of the same part. . In these figures, reference numeral 10 denotes a bed body, which is made of a metal pipe bent into a rectangular ring shape or a plastic molded product.

11 is a slat. This slat 11 is made of a hollow box-shaped plastic molded product (for example, an FRP molded product) with a downward opening, and the flat top plate portion 11a and the side plate portions 11b on both sides in the longitudinal direction are connected through curved smooth surfaces. It has a continuous cross-sectional diagram. Note that the height h of the slat 11 is
10-30cm is desirable. Reference numeral 11d denotes a side plate portion that is formed to protrude downward from each of both widthwise end portions of the upper surface plate portion 11a. As the slat 11, for example, as shown in FIG.
Swelling portions 11c, 11 projecting upward at both ends of the
slats 11a, or the entire top plate portion 11a may be recessed in a curved shape.These slats 11 prevent mats, etc. placed on top of them from shifting laterally. There are some advantages. Further, if a rib 12 is provided inside the slat 11 as illustrated in the figure, there is an advantage that the slat 11 is reinforced by the rib 12. Further, holes (engaging portions) 20, 20 are formed in the lower end portions of both sides of the slat 11 to be inserted into and engaged with the side frames 14, 14.

The slat 11 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is integrally provided with two spacers 13, 13 having an arcuate cross section projecting to either the front or rear side. By engaging the semicircular engaging portions 20, 20 at the lower ends and the spacers 13, 13 with the side frames 14, 14 from above, the bed body 10 is attached to the bed body 10 in a state that projects upwardly from these side frames 14. The vertical distance between the top plate portion 11a of the slat 11 and the side frames 14, 14 is set high enough to prevent it from being blocked by the mat laid on the slat 11. By the above engagement, the slat 11 is positioned in the width direction of the bed body, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the slat 11. Adjacent slats 11,
The mutual spacing P between the slats 11 is precisely set at a constant interval by the spacers 13, 13 of one slat 11 abutting against the other slat 11. Further, another spacer 13 is provided at the end of the side frame 14.
The spacers 13a position the group of slats 11 in the longitudinal direction of the bed body 10. With the slat 11 attached to the bed body 10 in this way,
The height H of the upper surface 11a of each slat 11 is set to be the same among the slats 11.

According to the slatted bed constructed as described above, the flat upper surface 11a of the slat 11 is continuous with the side view 11b via the curved smooth surface, so that a limb can come into contact with any part of the slat 11. You no longer have to worry about getting injured while standing. Similarly, you no longer have to worry about sheets getting caught and torn. Also, since the slats 11 protrude upward from the side frame 14, the gap between the slats 11 is high and large, and when a mat or the like is laid on the slats 11, the adjacent slats 1
Light and wind can sufficiently reach the entire space below the slat 11 through the gap formed between the slats 1 and 11. Therefore, the entire lower space is placed in a state where sufficient lighting and ventilation can be ensured, and even if the bed is left in the same place for a long period of time, such as in a patient's bed, mold and mildew on the floor will not occur. and bacteria are less likely to occur. Further, as shown in the illustrated example, if seats 15 are provided at several locations on the bed body 10 so that the bed body 10 can be installed in a state that it is lifted off the floor surface, the slatted bed can be placed stably. Furthermore, if the catch seat 15 is configured with casters, the slatted bed can be moved easily, and cleaning the floor surface by moving the entire slatted bed will not feel so troublesome, which is preferable from a hygienic point of view. be.

In the slatted bed described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the spacer 13 having an arcuate cross section is integrally formed at the lower end of the slat 11, but the spacer 13 may be cylindrical. In this case, it is necessary to insert and engage the spacer from the end of the side frame 14. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the spacer 13 may be integrally formed on one end face of the slat 11 at either the front or the rear. By doing so, the slats 11 are attached to the bed main body by inserting the engaging parts 20, 20 into the side frames 14, 14 and engaging them, and the spacer 13 allows the slats 11, 11 to be attached to each other. The mutual spacing P (see FIG. 3) is accurately determined. Further, the spacer 13 may be formed separately from the slat 11. When the spacer 13 is a separate body, the spacer may have an arcuate sectional view as shown in FIG. 4A, or a cylindrical spacer as shown in FIG. 4B. When using a spacer 13 having an arcuate cross section, the engaging portions 20, 20 of the slats 11 must be engaged with the side frames 14, 14 of the bed main body 10, and the adjacent slats 11, 11 must be engaged.
In between, the spacer 13 is fitted into the side frames 14, 14, and then the slats 11 are slid to sandwich the spacer 13 between the slats 11. In this way, the mutual spacing P of the slats 11 is determined accurately. Note that the spacer 13 may have any shape other than the illustrated example as long as it can be inserted between the slats 11.

The slatted bed explained in Figures 1 to 3 is
The entire bed body 10 is made into one piece, but as shown in FIG. They may also be integrally connected. It is possible to use a groove-shaped member as shown in FIG. 7 as the connector 16. In that case, the connector 16 is fitted into the divided end members 14a, 14a of the side frames 14, 14 that are butted against each other,
This connector 16 may be fixed to the respective side frames 14, 14 using screws 17, 17. Note that, if necessary, the connector 16 may be provided on the seat 18 so that a large bending load is not applied to the connecting portion.

If the bed main body 10 is divided in this way and the divided parts are configured to be freely connected and disconnected, it becomes very convenient for packing and transportation, and also allows the bed to be separated from the divided body 10a that constitutes the front end side of the bed main body 10. Divided body 1 constituting the rear end side portion of the main body 10
By directly connecting the bed body 1 with
0 can be shortened, and each divided body 10a, 1
By interposing the divided body 10c constituting the intermediate portion of the bed body 10 between the beds 0b, the overall length of the bed body 10 can be increased. Furthermore, the divided body 10
By increasing or decreasing the number c, the overall length of the bed body 10 can be adjusted to increase or decrease.

FIG. 8 shows the engaging portion 20 of the slat 11 on another type of bed body 10' (for example, an existing bed body).
The figure shows a slatted bed formed by supporting a slatted bed. In this example, stepped engaging portions 20, 20 are formed at the lower end of the slat 11, and these engaging portions 20, 20 are attached to both side frames of the bed body 10'.
4' and 14' from above. Further, a spacer 13 is interposed between the slats 11. This also positions the slat 11 in the width and length directions of the bed body 10'.
In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a bedding mounting plate disposed between both side frame sides 14', 14'. Ventilation can be ensured by making a large number of holes in the two positions of the plate body or by using a breathable material.Furthermore, the slats 11 and spacers 13 can be attached and detached. By removing this, a mat or mattress can be placed on the bedding mounting plate 21 and used as a known ordinary bed.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, there is no need for troublesome work such as nailing when attaching the slats to the bed body, and furthermore, the spacer can be attached by simply sliding the slats after attaching them to the bed body. Since the mutual spacing between the slats can be set accurately by this action, the ease of assembly work is greatly improved compared to the conventional method.

In addition, in the slatted bed of this invention, the slats are made to protrude above the side frames of the bed body, so that the vertical distance between the top plate of the slats and the side frames is covered by the mats laid on the slats. Even if the height of the bed is low from the floor, there will be a gap between the slats on which the pine is laid, and this gap will allow ventilation between the slats. This will ensure good visibility and sunlight, which will help suppress the growth of mold and bacteria. In addition, the side plates formed in a downwardly protruding manner at both ends in the width direction of the top plate on which the slat is placed serve to provide rigidity to the slat, which gives it a sense of stability in use. It has the effect of increasing
For this reason, the slatted bed of the present invention is particularly suitable for beds that remain in the same location for a long period of time, such as beds for patients.

Therefore, the slatted bed of this invention can be suitably used not only as a bed for sleeping or resting in a general household, but also as a bed for a sick person.
