Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is supported by a plurality of support members.

It relates to a resting platform structure on which a person can lie down or sit with or without the interposition of a pinerest and/or cushion, or on which various objects can be placed, and is extremely practical due to the combination of parts and shape. The present invention provides a rest structure with a variety of features.

Flat rest structures, particularly beds, are known in which a main frame surrounding the bed supports a secondary framework structure (various materials such as mesh, elastic materials, etc.). Therefore, not only is a main frame required, but there is a structural interdependence between the dimensions of the main frame and the dimensions of the secondary frame structure. The dimensions of the secondary framework structure are determined by the application. In other words, the presence of a main frame is a drawback in beds, as in other flat resting structures.

The support members supporting this type of flat rest structure on the floor can take various forms. The applicant has discovered that, by virtue of the special shape and arrangement of the parts, the flat rest structure can be easily connected at the point of its crossbeam members, and the complex forces that arise during the use of this type of flat rest structure can be avoided. be able to appropriately and reliably counter the
When the flat rest structure is in the form of a bed, we have invented a support member that can support the head plate and even the foot plate attached to the flat rest structure.

The main purpose of this invention is that it can be disassembled into parts of small size and assembled from such parts over a certain length without having to provide a surrounding main frame, as required by the intended use. To provide a resting platform structure whose width can be controlled up to the maximum. This purpose, and others that will become clear from the detailed description that follows, consists of a plurality of hollow rod-like bodies placed parallel to each other and supported by a plurality of crossbeam members that intersect with each other. , these hollow rod-like bodies are achieved by a rest platform structure supported by a plurality of support members, characterized in that these hollow rod-like bodies are removably connected to the crossbeam members by connectors inserted into the crossbeam members. Ru.

The rod may be constructed from a plurality of tubular sections formed by extrusion of plastic material.

The advantages brought about by the invention are obvious. The rest structure according to the invention uses an appropriate number of mutually equal hollow rods, a corresponding number of connections and mutually equal crossbeam members. This allows it to be formed into a desired size. The crossbeam member is the only part that needs to be cut to the desired size from the extruded part. The flat rest structure according to the invention takes up less space as it can be disassembled into its component parts, and therefore , good impact on transportation fees and storage fees! can be given.

According to the invention, the support member providing this effect is provided with a clamp at its upper end, which is removably connected to the crossbeam member of the flat rest platform structure.

Furthermore, the upper part is located substantially in the same plane or parallel plane with the central part passing through the bridge girder member, and the lower part is angled with the upper part and does not form a common plane.

The support member may consist of an arm, preferably formed from a metal plate, which forms part or support of the head plate and/or foot plate of the flat rest structure.

Preferably, the support member has a first portion proximate to the clamp such that the metal plate is twisted so as to be substantially coplanar with a longitudinal midplane through the crossbeam member, and a first portion beyond the twist point. The second part is formed at an angle with the second part.

This angle is preferably about 60", so that
When loaded, the desired stability of the flat resting structure is provided, as well as the optimum orientation of the shaped protruding arm, which protrudes outside the contour of the flat resting structure. It becomes like this.

[Example] The present invention will be further clarified by the detailed description of an example described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, a rest structure (
(e.g. bed) consisting of a plurality of tubular parts, preferably formed by extrusion from a plastic material.
In this embodiment, these rods, which consist of a series of hollow rods (hereinafter also referred to as "vertical members"), have the same shape and are supported by a pair of cross beam members 2. The crossbeam members may be in the form of rods, but may be hollow or solid, by passing the crossbeam members through matching holes 3 of corresponding shape formed in the longitudinal members l.

In one illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal members are transverse to each other.
It has a rectangular cross-section, while the cross-beam member has a square cross-section, although other shapes are also possible. Closing plugs 4 are fitted to both ends of the vertical member to close both ends.

The vertical members L are arranged parallel to each other at predetermined intervals and extend in the length direction of the bed so that the user sitting on the pinerest (not shown) placed above can receive appropriate physiological rest. It is growing.

This flat rest structure B is supported by a plurality of support members, generally designated 5. The support member will be described in detail later.

The connection between the longitudinal members 1 and the crossbeam members is made by means of connectors provided within the longitudinal members. FIG. 3 shows one of them installed.

This connector is inserted into the vertical member 1, and in this embodiment has a fork shape so as to surround the crossbeam member 2 on three sides. It includes a first member generally designated 14. The outer surfaces 15 of the two arms 16 of the first member 14 are formed with inclined surfaces. The base portion 17 has a seat portion 18 whose bottom portion is widened by forming an undercut 19.
is provided and is open at the negative side so that the head 111 of the driving screw 110 can be inserted therein.

The drive screw is screwed into a screw hole 112 formed in the second member 113 of the connector. the second member surrounds the first member;
The illustrated embodiment consists of three parts. The substantially flat base 114 is located parallel to the base 17 of the first member 14 and has a threaded hole 112 from which the driving screw 110 projects. The screw may be provided with a straight or cross slot or be profiled (pr.

The head is formed so that it can be engaged with a tool (driver, box spanner, etc.) for tightening the connector. Furthermore, the base 114 has play holes 1 on both side surfaces.
15 are formed, and pins 116 provided on another mutually identical part 117 of the second member 113 are inserted into these holes. The side portion 117 extends perpendicularly to the base portion 114 and has a first
Extending over the arm 16 of the member 14, the inclined surface 118 and the arm face each other, while the opposite surface 119 is in contact with the inner surface 120 of the longitudinal member l.

The present invention also includes embodiments in which second member 113 is formed as a single piece from a plastic material, such as nylon, by conventional methods. The dimensions and selection of materials will depend on the application and/or manufacturing requirements. The two rod-like bodies l and 2 that are connected to each other may have a cross-sectional shape different from that shown, for example polyhedral or circular. The first member 14 and the second member 113 have shapes that correspond to the rod-shaped body. The first member 14 may consist of a plurality of parts connected together in a suitable manner to allow attachment of the crossbeam members, the connections being made in the following manner. Two rod-shaped bodies (vertical member and crossbeam member) 1 and 2
are inserted one into the other in the position shown in the accompanying drawings. With the connector loosened, the base 17 of the first member 14.

Insert into the longitudinal member l until it comes into contact with the crossbeam member 2. At this time, the components of the connecting tool will be approximately in the state shown in FIG. 3. By turning the screw 110 with a suitable tool and moving the first member 14 and the second member 113 relative to each other, these inclined surfaces 118 interlock with each other to move the arm 16 of the first member 14 to the crossbeam member 2. Lock it by pressing it elastically. Similarly, the outer surface 119 of the second member 113 is pressed against the inner surface 120 of the longitudinal member l.

Figures 4 to 8 show hollow members l placed parallel to each other.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a support member for supporting a flat rest platform structure B formed from a cross beam member 2 connected thereto. The whole code is 33
A support member, preferably of metal type, shown at , is provided at its upper end with a clamp 20 consisting of two interlocking parts 21 .

In this embodiment, the interlocking part functions as one leg part and consists of an end part of a helically twisted metal plate 23 with a leg rest 24 at the bottom and a side part with a square cross-sectional shape in this embodiment. It is pressed onto both sides of the girder member 2 by a plurality of screws 22 . However, it is clear that the present invention also includes a clamp in which at least one of the engaging parts is replaced by an extension of the leg part 23 in an appropriate shape. Part 2
It has an upper part 25 located in a plane that is the same as or parallel to a vertical central plane passing through. This upper part 25 is followed by a spiral twisting part 26, which allows the lower part of the leg part 23 to

7 is connected by a plurality of screws to an arm 28 applied to one side of the lower part. This arm preferably consists of a substantially flat metal rod, with a base 29 and a leg 23.
The base is inclined both horizontally and vertically. This base is followed by a helical twist 30 which is located in a plane preferably parallel to the plane of the hollow rod 1 and which, when used as a bed, forms a flat resting platform. 1 bend 31 in the vertical part 32 serving as a support for the head plate and/or foot plate of body B;
Connect via.

The vertical portion 32 is formed by the arrangement of each component described above.

The legs 23 can protrude outside the contour of the rest structure B even though they must be located within the contour of the flat rest structure due to the need to engage the clamps with the crossbeam members. Due to the above-described shape and arrangement of the parts of the support members, a flat resting structure supported by four support members is subject to vibrations and bending during use, making it difficult for practical purposes.

It is stably positioned on the floor without the application of complex forces, including dynamic forces that create a sense of instability that makes it unsuitable for use as a bed, chaise lounge, etc.
