Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to bed frame anti-

More particularly, the present invention relates to a bed frame coupling means, and more particularly, to a bed frame coupling means provided with a mattress preventing member for supporting a back portion of a user so as to maintain a posture toward the side when the user is asleep, The present invention relates to a bed frame coupling means which is provided with an elastic supporting portion in a supporting bed frame and can maintain the horizontality of the mattress even for a long time.

Background Art [0002] Generally, a bed is a furniture used by a user for sleeping or resting, and is composed of a mattress that the user can lie down or sit on, and a bed frame that supports the mattress from below.

In general, the mattress is configured such that a plurality of springs are arranged at a predetermined interval inside the mattress to elastically support the user's body when the user sits or lies through the elastic force of the spring. The bed frame supports the mattress from the floor surface, To prevent flow.

7 shows a configuration of a 'bed frame' proposed in a conventionally-disclosed Registration No. 10-1180268 (registered on August 31, 2012), in which a main post, a frame body and a side plate are assembled using one connecting member .

The conventional art has a problem in that a separate engaging groove is formed in the main post in order to arrange the connecting bracket in a correct position although the assembling work can be speeded up by using one connecting bracket constituting an integral structure, It is not possible to prevent loosening of the joint portion of the connection bracket due to the load applied from the posterior mattress or impact or the like. Since the mattress can not be finely adjusted in level, it is difficult to prevent the load from concentrating on one side during use. The concentrated portion is damaged.

Here, the reference numerals shown in FIG. 7 are independent of the reference numerals shown in the following description of the present invention.

As described above, in the case of a general mattress, a plurality of springs are arranged at regular intervals in the interior of the mattress, and wires are connected to the upper, lower, and central portions of the spring, In the case of such a general mattress, the elasticity of the spring portion, which has been subjected to a heavy load for a long period of time, is gradually decreased. In order to prevent this, the mattress position must be changed after a certain period of use. However, changing the position of the mattress is not easy to do by yourself depending on the size of the mattress, and since it can not be solved by a woman or an elderly person alone, it requires a new purchase or repair of the mattress after a certain period of time, .

In addition, some of the mattresses are formed using latex. The latex is also referred to as an elastic rubber as a stable emulsion of the polymer fine particles. The latex mattress made of the latex mattress is made of a material, It has the comfort of wrapping, it supports the waist and there is no place to lift the body when lying down. It helps the health of the spine and it has the antimicrobial effect by the function of the natural rubber itself. There is no house dust mite, no reproduction of ticks or germs, It is cool in summer, warm in winter, warmer than general spring mattress, chemical is not used because it is eco-friendly product, it can prevent skin diseases like atopy and can be folded up or folded Compared with spring mattresses, they are easy to store and have no trouble or noise. The cushion is excellent in resilience, and two or more people do not interfere with the sleeping side of the next person when sleeping.

On the other hand, disadvantages of latex mattresses are that they are heavier than conventional spring mattresses, are expensive nowadays, are difficult to wash, and have aging phenomena, resulting in discoloration and curing when used for more than 10 years.

An open technique for such latex mattresses is disclosed in published Utility Model No. 20-2017-0003641 (published October 20, 2017).

In addition, when a person is snoring in a room where a plurality of users are sleeping, it interferes with the sleep of another person. Such a snore causes the throat to pass through before the air enters the airway while we breathe. It is a symptom that shows when there is difficulty in breathing during sleep when it can not easily get in and out.

In general, when a person breathe air passes through a flexible structure such as a palate, a udder, a tongue, or a tongue. During the day, the surrounding muscles help to keep these parts in place and do not block the airway.

However, while sleeping, the muscles loosen and sag, so that the air passage narrows in part, and when the air passes through this part, the soft parts of the surrounding parts are vibrated to make a snoring sound.

At this time, when the air passage is completely blocked due to other reasons such as muscle relaxation or severe obesity, sleep apnea occurs in which air can not flow into the lung. In particular, obese men tend to have a narrow nose and narrow nose and difficulty in securing airway when the lower jaw is small and the nose is short or thick and the neck is short and thick. In this case, when the snoring is severe, there is a serious problem that accompanies sleep apnea as well as a problem of causing a loud noise to cause discomfort to the person himself / herself and the person around him / her.

Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder that causes the person to breathe for a while, and after the threshold is over, he / she repeats the breathing and resting. Especially, when drinking before drinking, the autonomic reflex reaction is weakened, .

In addition, sleep apnea can reduce the quality of sleep, causing severe drowsiness and chronic fatigue in daily life despite sufficient sleep time, which may cause another accident. If the symptoms persist for a long time, It increases the burden on the lungs and can cause complications such as hypertension, heart attack, and seizures.

Various products and technologies have been proposed to solve these problems. For example, in the case of a snoring prevention pillow, there is a problem in that the pillow can not be laid down on the pillow due to movement during sleep, resulting in inefficiency. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to use the devices when there is a feeling of refusal to wear the instruments on the human body and a nose cold or nasal obstruction.
