Definitions

  • beds are often required, which can be set up temporarily. Such beds are subject to special requirements since they have to be put up and taken down again and again and have to be kept in a storage room at times when they are not needed. Such beds should therefore be easy to transport, easy to set up and dismantle and they should require the smallest possible storage space.
  • collapsible beds are known which can be folded to the smallest possible volume with the aid of more or less complex mechanical devices.
  • such beds often offer insufficient sleeping comfort and their handling is so complicated that two people are required to fold the bed or to unfold it.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a foldable bed which can be transported, set up and taken down by one person and which satisfies high demands with regard to sleep comfort without restriction.
  • the object is achieved in that a frame-like, rectangular bed frame for laying a mattress is composed of two essentially symmetrical elements which are connected to one another by hinges in the plane of symmetry between the narrow frames of the bed frame such that they with their undersides are foldable and that at least one element is free and the other element with its end opposite the hinges can be set up on a floor surface.
  • a bed frame is created which is extremely simple in construction and can be easily set up or folded by one person. When folded, the bed frame has a compact size so that it is easy to transport and requires little floor space.
  • both elements have laterally pivotable rollers on a longitudinal side of the bed frame, on which the bed frame can be moved during folding and during transport. Unfolding during transportation is avoided according to the invention in that a bolt is provided at the ends of the elements forming the end faces of the bed frame, with which the elements can be connected to one another.
  • the elements can have feet which are arranged in such a way that, when folded together, the feet of one element next to the Feet of the other element. The feet are thus immersed in the free space of the bedside part when it is folded up. No storage space is therefore required for the protruding part of the feet.
  • the elements consist of a rectangular frame which is composed of outer, upstanding cheeks and a connecting strut connected to the hinge. In the opening of the frame slats can be arranged at a distance from each other, which form a mattress topper.
  • the bed frame according to the invention is suitable for the use of one-part or multi-part mattresses. It is particularly advantageous if a separate mattress element of a two-part mattress is provided for each element.
  • the mattress elements can then be easily transported and stored together with the bed frame by remaining in the receiving troughs of the bed frame and also being fastened there. If the mattress elements are not connected to the bed frame, then, according to a further proposal of the invention, they can be held on the bed frame with straps for transportation.
  • a carrying handle can be attached to the hinge side and on the opposite side of one or both elements according to a further proposal of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of the unfolded frame of a foldable bed
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the bed frame according to FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through an element of the bed frame according to FIG. 1 with the mattress lying on it and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the folded bed in the transport position.
  • the bed frame 1 shown consists of two elements 2, 3 which are essentially symmetrical with respect to the central plane parallel to the narrow sides and which are connected to one another at their mutually adjacent ends by two hinges 4.
  • Each element 2, 3 has the shape of a rectangular frame, which is formed from two parallel longitudinal cheeks 5, an end cheek 6 and a connecting strut 7 parallel to the end cheek 6.
  • the longitudinal cheeks 5 and the end cheeks 6 are oriented upright to the installation planes and are glued to one another at their adjacent ends in the usual manner.
  • the connecting strut 7 is arranged on the lower edge at the ends of the longitudinal cheeks 5 opposite the end cheek 6 and is firmly connected to the longitudinal cheeks 5 by means of dowels or screws.
  • the hinges 4 are each fastened to the underside of the connecting struts 7 of the two elements 2, 3 lying next to one another in such a way that the undersides of the elements 2, 3 can be folded together.
  • longitudinal grooves 8, 9 are formed at a distance from one another.
  • the slats 10 are additionally fastened to corner strips 12 which extend on the underside of the slats 10 along the longitudinal grooves 8 and are glued to both the longitudinal cheeks 5 and the slats 10.
  • two cross struts 13 are attached, each carrying two feet 14 on their underside.
  • the feet 14 are provided with a threaded pin which is screwed into an impact nut anchored in the cross struts 13.
  • the connection between the cross struts 13 and the longitudinal cheeks 5 is also reinforced by short corner strips 12.
  • the cross struts 13 in the two elements 2, 3 are not arranged in mirror image to one another, but offset such that when the elements 2, 3 are folded together, the feet 14 of the element 2 come to lie next to the feet 14 of the element 3, so that the folding by the feet 14 is not hindered.
  • the bed frame is suitable for a one-piece, continuous mattress, which is, however, less easy to transport. It is therefore particularly advantageous to use a two-part mattress, each size of the mattress corresponding to an element 2, 3 of the bed frame 1.
  • a two-part mattress each size of the mattress corresponding to an element 2, 3 of the bed frame 1.
  • Such an embodiment of the bed is shown in FIG. 4 in the folded state, placed on the rollers 15.
  • the underside of the two elements 2, 3 is folded against one another, the feet 14 disappearing into the cavity formed by the undersides of the elements 2, 3.
  • On the outside of the elements 2, 3 are the two mattress elements 16 of a two-part mattress 11, which are held there in their position by straps 17.
  • the straps 17 can be suspended in eyelets which, as shown in FIG. 3, can be attached to the longitudinal cheeks 5 with short straps.
  • a bolt 18 connects the elements 2, 3 on the side opposite the hinges 4, so that there is a stable, box-shaped body which has favorable transport dimensions and on the castors 15 can be easily moved.
  • the bed described is particularly suitable for use as an additional bed in hotel operations, since it can be easily transported and set up by a single person.
  • the hinges for connecting the two elements 2, 3 can be designed such that they are suitable for transferring the load to be borne by one element to the other element, so that one element can be moved from the other element by means of the hinges can be held and only needs feet at its end facing away from the hinges.
  • Other means can also be provided with which one element is supported on the other element in the opened state.

Abstract

Le cadre (1) rectangulaire d'un lit pliant est composé de deux éléments (2, 3) sensiblement symétriques, et reliés l'un à l'autre par des charnières (4) sur le plan de symétrie situé entre les côtés étroits (6) du cadre (1) du lit, de sorte que l'on puisse replier lesdits éléments sur leur face inférieure. Les deux éléments (2, 3) comprennent des roulettes pivotantes (15) sur un de leurs côtés (5) allongés, sur lesquels on peut aisément déplacer le cadre (1) du lit lors du pliage et du transport.
