Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collapsible supporting frame for a hammock with a frame body symmetrical in relation to a longitudinal center plane and made of straight struts and joint pieces interconnecting the struts and forming plug-in receptacles for the struts.
  • the frame body is composed of two essentially U-shaped frame parts symmetrical to a longitudinal center plane, which are connected to each other at their free ends to receive the hammock and are each composed of straight struts.
  • a disadvantage of these known frame bodies is that the struts and the plug-in connections between the struts of the frame parts which accommodate the struts are subjected to bending, which results in comparatively heavy constructions, which is in contradiction to the requirement for a lightweight supporting frame.
  • the frame body is composed of two frame parts, each comprising three struts defining a tetrahedron and being connected by a joint piece, two of which are foot struts and the third strut running in the plane of symmetry between the two foot struts is designed as a support arm for the hammock.
  • the two frame parts are connected by a longitudinal strut engaging on the joint pieces, said frame parts being composed of two mutually longitudinally adjustable partial struts in order to be able to adjust different support lengths for the hammock.
  • the joint pieces must be able to support the weight and torque loads of the struts, so that welded joints must be provided between the struts and the joint pieces.
  • the invention is thus based on the object of designing a collapsible supporting frame for a hammock in such a way that, despite its light construction, the occurring weight and torque loads can be safely absorbed without impairing the handling of the frame body during assembly or disassembly.
  • the frame body comprises two joint pieces with plug-in receptacles for three struts each, which span a tetrahedron and of which two are in the form of foot struts and the third strut, which runs in the plane of symmetry between the two foot struts, is in the form of a support arm for the hammock, that between the two joint pieces on the side remote from the tetrahedron there is provided a longitudinal strut which engages in aligned plug-in receptacles of the joint pieces, and that both the struts each forming a tetrahedron and also the foot struts of the mutually opposite joint pieces are connected to one another by traction means engaging at the strut ends.
  • the struts Due to the additional mutual traction means tensioning of the struts between each other, which start from a joint piece and span a tetrahedron, as well as the foot struts of the mutually opposing tetrahedron, the struts are essentially stressed as compression rods, so that the joint pieces remain largely free of bending moment loads. This means that it is the main object of the plug-in receptacles to form an abutment to support the pressure of the struts engaging on the joint pieces.
  • the length of the support arms for the hammock is selected at least twice the length of the foot struts. If the longitudinal strut between the two joint pieces is formed by two interconnectable partial struts, the space required for the folded supporting frame is reduced, which is then determined not by the longitudinal strut but by the length of the support arms.
  • FIG. 1 shows a collapsible supporting frame for a hammock in a side view according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows this supporting frame in a frontal view on a larger scale
  • FIG. 3 shows the support frame in an axonometric diagram.
  • the illustrated supporting frame has a frame body 1 with two joint pieces 2 , 3 defining a longitudinal axis of the frame, which are connected to each other by a longitudinal strut 4 .
  • the longitudinal strut 4 which can preferably be assembled from two partial struts 5 , 6 , engages in a plug-in receptacle 7 of each joint piece 2 , 3 .
  • the joint pieces 2 , 3 are also equipped with plug-in receptacles 8 , 9 for three struts, namely two foot struts 10 and a support arm 11 , which define a tetrahedron.
  • Ball bodies with radial openings for plug-in receptacles 7 , 8 and 9 are preferably used as joint pieces 2 , 3 .
  • the support arms 11 for the hammock 12 are located in the plane of symmetry between the foot struts 10 forming a longitudinal center plane of the frame body 1 .
  • the foot struts 10 and the support arm 11 are each braced against each other by traction means 13 , preferably ropes, which run along the remaining tetrahedron edges, so that the traction means 13 suspended in each case between the ends of the foot struts 10 and of the support arm 11 prevent the tetrahedron respectively defined by the foot struts 10 and the support arm 11 from spreading out.
  • the foot struts 10 of the opposing joint pieces 2 , 3 are mutually connected by traction means 14 , as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3 .
  • the traction means 14 connecting the foot struts 10 of the opposing joint pieces 2 , 3 can also run crosswise, because it is only the task of these traction means 14 to prevent the foot struts 10 from spreading in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the frame.
