Definitions

  • the objective of the present finding is a mechanism for beds with a tiltable sleeping surface and the bed using such mechanism for its opening and closure.
  • these beds referred to as beds with a tiltable sleeping surface or container beds are used to exploit the volume that forms inside the base of the bed, on which the sleeping surface lies.
  • the sleeping surface can be tilted with respect to its support base almost reaching a sub-vertical position with respect to the ground line. In other configurations, less common, the sleeping surface translates with respect to the base. In both cases, the objective is that of opening the filling compartment.
  • all these embodiments have various drawbacks.
  • the sleeping surface of a container bed is usually lower - and hence more uncomfortable - with respect to the sleeping surface of a traditional bed, both in terms of its use and its remaking; furthermore, many movement mechanisms of the sleeping surface are not capable of avoiding inadvertent closures of the bed; the movement of the sleeping surface comprising a mattress, thus of considerable weight, is quite complex; lastly, there is no system for safe locking the sleeping surface.
  • a new design of the movement mechanism of the sleeping surface is required.
  • WO 00/36952 discloses an articulating bed frame for beds normally used in health structures such as hospitals, where said frame comprises a plurality of portions, hinged each other, which can be tilted to meet with patient's needs.
  • One of said portions remains always horizontal and is sliding on longitudinally extending siderails, so that the whole bed frame slides.
  • US 4 258 445 discloses an adjustable body support assembly comprising a plurality of portions, hinged each other, which can be tilted to meet with user's needs.
  • One of said portions remains always horizontal and is sliding on longitudinally extending siderails, so that the whole bed frame slides.
  • GB 855 112 discloses an adjustable bed supported by an adjustable frame comprising a plurality of portions, hinged each other, which can be tilted to meet with user's needs.
  • One of said portions remains always horizontal.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide a new mechanism for beds with a tiltable sleeping surface capable of overcoming the abovementioned technical problems.
  • a mechanism with a tiltable sleeping surface (12) which is fixed onto the base (20) of the bed, and it is characterised in that comprises a first articulated quadrilateral (1, 2, 3, 4), a first abutment element (10) a shaped element (11) two gas springs (8, 9) a second quadrilateral defined by the elements (1, 6, 7, 5, 15) with said element 7 made up of two portions slightly inclined with respect to each other and with said element (6) serving as a second abutment element, and two support elements (5, 15), as described in claim 1.
  • the bed with a sleeping surface provided with the mechanism subject of the present finding, comprises a base (20) and a sleeping surface (12) which can move from a horizontal position in which it lies on said base ( Fig. 2 ) to an almost sub-vertical position with respect to the base itself.
  • the sleeping surface can also be advantageously arranged at a horizontal position but at a given height with respect to the base, in such a manner to obtain a resting surface with a height not lower with respect to the height of the traditional fixed beds, and hence of easier access both in terms of its use and remaking.
  • the mechanism for the movement of the sleeping surface comprises a first articulated quadrilateral (1, 2, 3, 4), a first abutment element (10), a shaped element (11), two gas springs (8, 9), a second quadrilateral defined by the elements (1, 6, 7, 5, 15) with said element 7 made up of two portions slightly inclined with respect to each other and with said element (6) serving as a second abutment element, two support elements (5, 15).
  • This mechanism represents an improvement with respect to the analogous known products, in that it allows the opening of the sleeping surface and also its arrangement at a horizontal position, but raised with respect to the base of the bed.
  • the trajectory of the sleeping surface is determined by the quadrilateral formed by the elements (1, 2, 3, 4) and having points (1', 2', 3', 4') serving as joints.
  • the element (1) is made up of a plate for fixing the mechanism onto the wooden portion of the base (20).
  • the improvement is represented by the fact that the element (1), L-shaped or of any other similar shape, is fixed only at point (1'). Hence, the element has the possibility to rotate anticlockwise until it brings the sleeping surface (12) back to the horizontal position (see figures 5 and 6 ).
  • the element (11) has a complex geometry, it is integrally joined to the element (1) and it has a double function: on one end it is bent at 90° and laying on the element (5) it serves as a support and block element during the rotation of the quadrilateral 1'-2'-3'-4'. On the other end, said element (11) is anchored to the second gas spring (9), whose function shall be described better hereinafter.
  • the mechanism exploits its vertical component. During the movement, said spring rotates anticlockwise passing from a negative angle (-90° ⁇ 0°, see Fig. 4 ) to a positive angle (0° ⁇ 90, see Fig. 6 ). Regarding the negative angles, the spring (9) exerts a downwards force and thus provides valid help in case the container bed is intended to be closed entirely (as in Fig. 2 ). In the absence of the spring (9), when closing the container bed completely, by lowering the front part of the sleeping surface (12), inadvertent raising of the rear part of the sleeping surface would occur.
  • the quadrilateral (1', 7', 6', 7") is dimensioned in such a manner that, when the sleeping surface is inclined, the element (6) reaches a sub-horizontal position, while, when the sleeping surface (12) is horizontal, the element (6) is at a vertical position.
  • the angle formed by the element (6) with respect to the horizontal position is always positive, and this due to an abutment element interposed between the said elements (6) and (7).
  • a further characteristic of the present mechanism is the bed locking system with a sleeping surface at a horizontal and raised position.
  • the pin When the bed is positioned in the completely open configuration the pin is removed from its idle position and it is fitted into a hole provided on the free end of the element (6).
  • a cylinder (6") could be welded to the head of the element (6).
  • a further significant characteristic both for the improvement of the quality of the mechanism, and for simplifying the mounting operations of the bed is as follows: the elements (5) and (15) are integrally welded and joined to each other. In this manner, all the articulation points of the mechanism, alongside the coupling points of the gas springs are defined in an extremely accurate manner, in that their positioning is based on the limited machining tolerances typical of metal materials. Non-compliance with this method and fixing the mechanism with its articulation points directly on the base structure of the bed would jeopardise the accuracy of the mechanism, in that, as known, wood requires much larger machining tolerances with respect to metal. Additionally, operating according to the present teaching, the mechanism can be mounted independently and provided as a complete sub-group to the users requiring it for constructing beds.
  • the element (11) is provided with a hole, for example a threaded hole, into which an element, for example a screw, is fitted integrally joining it to the element (5) thus preventing the rotation of the quadrilateral 1'2'3'4' around point 1'.
  • a hole for example a threaded hole, into which an element, for example a screw, is fitted integrally joining it to the element (5) thus preventing the rotation of the quadrilateral 1'2'3'4' around point 1'.
