  • a continuous adjustment is obtained, within determined limits, of the location of the rockers relative to the chassis and of the position of the pivot point of the articulation on the rockers. These limits may be widened, in particular as regards attachment to the chassis, by providing various possible locations on the chassis for the fixing rods 9, 9 'and 9 ", 9"'.
  • the leg part 4 consists of a front element 13 and a rear element 14 assembled angularly with respect to each other.
  • the front element 13 is pivotally mounted on the frame at 15, while the rear element 14 is supported by a rod 16 in which a buttonhole 17 is formed in order to allow an adjustment of the inclination of the foot part 4 relative to the chassis.
  • the angular position of the front element 13 with respect to the rear element 14 is ensured by a bent fastening element 18 ensuring the connection between said front elements 13 and rear elements 14.
  • the head part 2 is adjustable in height
  • the location of each rocker 8, 8 ' is adjustable separately in height and longitudinally
  • the position of the pivot point of each rocker on its support is adjustable longitudinally relative to the rocker
  • the position of the leg part 4 is adjustable in inclination relative to the chassis.
  • the head part 2 consists of a support element 19 mounted at the end of a frame 20 articulated to the frame at 21.
  • This support element 19 is adjustable in inclination and in height relative to the chassis by means of a rack 22, articulated at the front end of the frame 20 and cooperating with a pin 23 secured to the chassis 5.
  • rockers 8, 8 ' are mounted respectively on the frame 20 and on the frame 5 using articulated supports 24, 24' which will be described in more detail below with reference to Figures 2a, 2b.
  • leg part 4 is mounted on the chassis 5, at its front part, by a support 25, of the same type as that illustrated in fig 2a, and at its rear part by a link 26 bearing on a rack 27 integral of the chassis.
  • a preferred embodiment of a hinge support such as the supports 24, 24 'is shown in Figs 2a and 2b.
  • an element 28 of a joint is essentially carried by a slide 29 moving against a vertical slide 30 secured to a gusset 31.
  • the gusset 31 is designed to be secured to a tubular element 32 constituting the structure either of the frame 5 or of the frame 20, and comprises at its upper part a wing 33 constituting a support element on the tubular element 32.
  • a horizontal buttonhole 34 and a vertical buttonhole 35 are formed in the gusset 31, while the slide 29, produced in an L-shaped section, has a vertical buttonhole 36.
  • the horizontal buttonhole 34 is intended to cooperate with an orifice 37 for the passage of a member for securing the gusset 31 to the tubular element 32, while the buttonholes 35 and 36 are intended to cooperate for allow the passage of an element for securing the slide 29 to the gusset 31.
  • Complementary orifices 37 ′ make it possible to increase the distance over which a positioning of the gusset 31 on the tubular element 32 is possible.
  • the articulation element 28 in this case an articulation axis, can undergo a translation with normal and / or longitudinal component relative to the tubular element 32.
  • An additional element 38 of the articulation in this case an articulation bearing, is carried by a profile 39 whose core 40, provided with a buttonhole 41, is adjacent to two stiffening wings 42, 42 '.
  • the core 40 is intended to come into contact with a face of a tubular element 43 constituting the lateral element of one of the rockers 8, 8 '.
  • the buttonhole 41 is intended to cooperate with an orifice 44 in the said tubular element 43 to allow the longitudinal positioning of the profile 39, and therefore of the complementary articulation element 38, with respect to the lever considered.
  • the slide 29 carries stops 45, 45 'intended to limit the movement of the rockers.

  • this recessed support part is constituted by a transverse slat 47 recessed compared to the other slats 48 of the structure.
  • a flap 49 ensures the transition between the support element 19 and the rocker 8.
  • the angular arrangement of the front element 13 and the rear element 14 of the foot part is obtained by welding.
  • the junction between the front element 13 and the rear element 14 of the foot part is intended to be located at the level of the user's knee, the front element 13 of the foot part thus constituting the support for user's thigh.
  • the angle between the front element 13 and the rear element 14 of the foot part resulting from a compromise between the angle required to ensure an absolutely correct position of the user in the supine position lateral, and that required in supine position, ensures a satisfactory position of the user in these two positions, so that this angle can be fixed definitively for a specific individual.
  • the angular position of the front element 13 with respect to the rear element 14 of the foot part is thus produced independently of the adjacent rocker.
  • this angle constitutes a positioning element which automatically ensures an invariable position of the user in the longitudinal direction of the bed base, this invariable position guaranteeing at all times the correct functioning of the rockers.
  • a mattress which is particularly suitable for such a box spring consists of a plate of flexible high density foam plastic, intended to provide firm support for the patient, surmounted by a plate of flexible foam plastic to low density intended to ensure patient comfort. So that these two elements of the mattress can ensure their function, it is essential that they are each enclosed in a fabric envelope having sufficient sliding qualities so that the two plates can slide relative to each other in following the deformations to which they are subjected, these two plates and their envelopes being contained in a common cover to form a unitary structure.
  • a polyurethane foam of 60 to 90 kg / m 3 in a thickness of 3 to 6 cm Preferably, for the plate of flexible high density plastic foam material, a polyurethane foam of 60 to 90 kg / m 3 in a thickness of 3 to 6 cm, and for the plate of flexible low density foam material, a polyurethane foam of 20 to 50 kg / m 3 in thickness of 6 to 10 cm.
  • each of these foam plates it will be made of any fabric having the required qualities of sliding and resistance to wear, such as for example a knitted nylon fabric, polyamide etc ...
  • the mattress In order that the mattress can fulfill its functions of firm support and element of comfort for the user as correctly as possible, it is desirable that it is adapted to the weight of the latter.
  • the plate thicknesses required will depend on the density of the foam used.
