    Base for a box spring or comfort bed and box spring or comfort bed equipped with such a base.
    The present invention relates to a chassis for a box spring and / or comfort bed.
    Undercarriages for beds are known from WO 2013/160758.
    More specifically, the invention is intended for a box spring that comprises a chassis with a frame in which a bottom is provided. The bottom serves to support springs and / or multiple foam layers.
    The whole of the chassis, bottom and springs and / or foam layer is covered by a layer of textile to finish the box spring or comfort bed.
    A mattress, topper or the like can then be applied to this box spring.
    It is known that the hardness of the springs or the foam layer is selected in function of the user, so as to ensure comfort during use.
    In addition, it is desirable to ensure that the backbone of a person lying on the boxspring extends as straight as possible, without excessive bending, to ensure that all muscles relax and to avoid back problems or pain .
    For these reasons, heavier persons generally benefit from slightly harder springs or foam layers, in order to avoid excessive sagging due to body weight and a curved backbone.
    Lighter people, on the other hand, usually benefit from slightly softer feathers or foam in order to increase comfort.
    Classic is that when purchasing the box spring the user chooses a desired hardness of the springs and / or the foam layer that suits his needs or physique.
    However, if, for example, the physique of the user changes afterwards because the user weighs or loses weight, the box spring is no longer adapted to the user, as a result of which the hardness of the springs and / or the foam layer can be too low or too high.
    It is also known that a box spring is used where the hardness of the springs and / or the foam layer is harder or softer in some zones than in other zones, by using different types of springs and / or foam.
    These zones often concern the shoulders and loins, to ensure that the backbone receives the necessary support and that the correct pressure is applied where necessary.
    In this case too, the hardness of these zones is fixed and cannot be adjusted if necessary.
    Systems are already known where the hardness of the zones can be adjusted. This is done by means of removable and exchangeable pocket spring modules, each pocket spring module having a certain hardness.
    However, this has the disadvantage that changing the hardness of the box spring is a very cumbersome task.
    In addition, the user must ensure that he has the various desired pocket spring modules at hand and can stock them.
    Moreover, one only has a choice of a number of different pocket spring modules, each with its own hardness, but if an 'intermediate' hardness is desired, this will not be possible.
    The present invention has for its object to provide a solution to at least one of the aforementioned and other disadvantages.
    To this end the invention relates to an adjustable sleeping comfort system.
    The present invention has an undercarriage as an object for a box spring or comfort bed with a length and a width, which undercarriage consists essentially of a frame with a bottom therein for supporting springs and / or a foam layer, the bottom being adjacent a fixed part, contains at least one height-adjustable part that extends in the transverse direction at the location of the loin and / or of the shoulders, which part is supported by an adjusting mechanism that allows the relevant adjustable part of the bottom to be continuously adjusted in height and adjusted in such a way that the relevant part always remains parallel to itself.
    An advantage is that by raising or lowering the adjustable part, the springs or the foam layer at the location of this part, the adjusting mechanism can depress more or less so as to adjust the hardness locally in a simple manner.
    Hereby it is important to note that the height-adjustable part always remains parallel to itself and does not, for example, tilt. In this way, the springs or the foam layer will be uniformly pressed in the zone above the section, without the slope of this zone changing.
    For example, by increasing the adjustable portion of the bottom, the springs and / or the foam layer located on this portion will be compressed, whereby the resilience or the compression of the foam layer at this location will increase and thus the hardness and / or comfort increase in this zone.
    Yet another advantage is that since it is infinitely adjustable, the hardness of the springs and / or the foam layer can be adjusted almost exactly to the needs of the user, this by driving electric motors, for example with or without remote control.
    After purchasing a box spring with such an undercarriage, the user is no longer bound to the then chosen hardness of the springs and / or foam layer.
    The bottom preferably comprises two height-adjustable sections, one at the location of the loins and one at the location of the shoulders, the two aforementioned sections being preferably adjustable independently of each other.
    An advantage is that the user has a very large freedom of choice and that, for example, depending on the sleeping position or the changing weight of the user, the most optimal hardness of both zones can always be set.
    Because both the shoulder area and the lumbar area are adjustable, it will be possible to ensure that the backbone of the user extends straight or as good as straight under any circumstances in any sleeping position (lying down or sideways).
    In a practical embodiment, the adjusting mechanism comprises a drive with a remote control for operating the drive.
    This remote control can be wireless or not.
    This has the advantage that the adjustment of the adjusting mechanism does not have to be done manually, but that a motor-adjustable sleeping comfort system is realized.
    The user can control the hardness of the different zones of the springs and / or foam layer above a height-adjustable part by means of the remote control, even while lying on the box spring.
    This can be useful if the user wants to change their sleeping position or if he wants a harder or softer zone for another reason.
    It is clear that the adjustment mechanism can be implemented in many different ways without departing from the scope of the invention.
    The invention also relates to a box spring or comfort bed with an undercarriage, which undercarriage consists essentially of a frame with a bottom on which springs and / or a foam layer is arranged, wherein the bottom comprises at least one height-adjustable part which, in addition to a fixed part, extends in the transverse direction at the location of the loins and / or shoulders, which part is supported by an adjusting mechanism that allows the relevant adjustable part of the bottom to be continuously adjusted in height and to be maintained in such a way that the relevant part is always parallel to itself remains.
    The aforementioned undercarriage is preferably an undercarriage according to the invention.
    With the insight to better demonstrate the features of the invention, a few preferred embodiments of an undercarriage and box spring or comfort bed according to the invention are described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: figure 1 shows schematically and a perspective view of a box spring / comfort bed according to the invention with a base with partial cut-away; figure 2 schematically represents a top view of the chassis according to the invention of figure 1; figure 3 schematically and in perspective represents an undercarriage according to the invention; Figure 4 represents a side view of Figure 3; figure 5 represents the side view from figure 4, but in a different position.
    The box spring 1 according to the invention, schematically shown in Figure 1, with a length A and a width B comprises a base 2 according to the invention, in which a bottom 3 is arranged.
    Springs 4 are provided on the bottom 3, for example in the form of pocket springs, the whole of springs 4 being encased in a foam layer 5.
    The whole of the chassis 2, the bottom 3 and the springs 4 are encased in a layer of textile 6 to form and finish the box spring 1 or comfort bed.
    Optionally a mattress or topper can be placed on this box spring 1 on which a person can lie down.
    The bottom 3 consists of two fixed parts 7 at the location of the head and the legs, which in this case are designed as a fixed bottom for foam 5 or springs 4.
    Furthermore, the bottom 3 in this case comprises two height-adjustable sections 8, one at the loin and one at the shoulders.
    The two height-adjustable sections 8 connect to each other and are arranged between the two fixed sections 7 of the head and legs.
    The aforementioned adjustable portions 8 extend in the transverse direction X-X 'of the box spring 1 and in this case are designed in the form of a plate where foam 5 and / or springs 4 are applied.
    It is not excluded that there are only one or three, four or more height-adjustable sections 8.
    The chassis 2 according to the invention is shown in figures 2 and 3, comprises a frame 9 on which the aforementioned bottom 3 rests.
    The chassis 2 is provided with an adjusting mechanism 10 which supports the aforementioned height-adjustable sections 8.
    In this case, but not necessarily, each aforementioned portion 8 is provided with its own adjusting mechanism 10.
    By means of the adjusting mechanisms 10, in this case but not necessarily, the two height-adjustable parts 8 of the bottom 3 can be adjusted independently of each other.
    As can be seen in figures 2 and 3, the adjusting mechanism 10 comprises a drive 11.
    This drive 11 may comprise a rod motor or a linear motor that causes or generates a linear displacement parallel to the drive 11.
    Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism 10 comprises a remote control, not shown in the figures, for operating the drive 11.
    The adjusting mechanism 10 is shown in more detail in Figure 3.
    The adjusting mechanism 10 comprises two pairs of levers 12, which are situated at the location of the corners 13 of the respective height-adjustable part 8.
    Each pair of levers 12 are coaxially rotatably mounted on the frame 9 with a pivot point 14.
    Each lever 12 comprises two ends 15a, 15b, the height-adjustable portion 8 resting on a first end 15a of each lever 12.
    The first end 15a is in this case provided with a support 16 on which the height-adjustable portion 8 rests.
    In this case, the aforementioned support 16 is a wheel rotatably attached to this first end 15a. It is also possible that this support 16 is designed in the form of a flat plate or the like which is hinged to this first end 15a.
    For example, to make the levers 12 rotate or rotate about their pivot point 14, use can be made of individual motors for each lever 12. In the illustrated embodiment, use is made of only one drive 11 in the form of a motor and the adjusting mechanism is 10 equipped with additional parts to enable the drive with this one engine.
    For this purpose, the adjusting mechanism 10 comprises two transmission rods 17. The second end 15b of the levers 12 of each pair is pivotally connected to the second end 15b of a lever 12 of the other pair by means of the transmission rods 17.
    The second ends 15b of the levers 12 which are connected by a transfer rod 17 together with the two associated pivot points 14 of these levers 12 form a parallelogram. This is clearly seen in Figure 4, which shows a detail of the adjusting mechanism 10.
    Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism 10 comprises a crankshaft 18 which is rotatably mounted in the frame 9, which crankshaft 18 is provided with a crank 19 extending transversely of the axis 20 of the crankshaft 18.
    The crankshaft 18 is coupled to the aforementioned drive 11, which is a rod motor or linear motor. Due to the action of the drive 11 on the crank 19, the crankshaft 18 will rotate.
    The crankshaft 18 is connected to one of the two pairs of levers 12, so that a rotation of the crankshaft 18 is accompanied by a rotation of this pair of levers 12.
    In this case, the aforementioned pair of levers 12 are fixedly mounted on the crankshaft 18 near the ends 21 of the crankshaft 18 so that the levers 12 cannot move relative to the crankshaft 18. It is also possible that these levers 12 form part of the crankshaft 18, for example because they are made in one piece.
    As can be seen in figure 3, a metal frame 22 is arranged in the frame 9 on which each adjusting mechanism 10 is mounted.
    In the example shown, but not necessarily, the levers 12 are bent, with a buckling point 23. This will result in the height of the levers 12 becoming smaller with a space saving as a result. After all, the adjusting mechanism 10 thus also becomes less high, so that it can be built into a chassis 2 with a relatively narrow frame 9.
    Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism 10 is provided with means 24 to prevent, when adjusting the height-adjustable sections 8 of the bottom 3, the displacement of these sections 9 in the transverse direction X-X 'or in the longitudinal direction Y-Y' of the box spring 1.
    In the example shown, the aforementioned means 24 are formed by a guide 25 in the form of a profile 25 which is fixed to the frame 9.
    A slider 26 is fitted in this profile 25, which slide is mounted in the profile 25. This slider 26 is fixed to the aforementioned portion 8. Due to the vertical movement of the portion 8, the slider 26 will slide in the profile 25.
    This slider 26 is in this case, but not necessarily, designed as a wheel.
    The operation of the box spring 1 and the chassis 2 is very simple and as follows.
    When a user who rests on the boxspring 1 wants the zone to be harder at the location of, for example, the shoulders, the user can adjust the chassis 2 by operating the drive 11 of the adjusting mechanism 10.
    The drive 11 will act on the crank 19 of the crankshaft 18, whereby this crankshaft 18 will rotate. The crankshaft 18 will carry in its rotation movement the pair of levers 12 mounted on it. The other pair of levers 12 will also rotate through the transmission rod 17.
    As can be seen in figures 4 and 5, the rotation of the levers 12, the supports 16 will also undergo a rotational movement and thereby move upwards.
    Depending on the rotation of the crankshaft 18 under the influence of the drive 11, the supports 16 will reach a certain level.
    It should be noted that the movement of the supports 16 is infinitely variable. This means that the supports 16 can be brought to any level.
    Because the height-adjustable portion 8 rests on the supports 16, it will also be moved upwards under the influence of the movement of the supports 16. This is shown in Figure 5.
    The height of the aforementioned height-adjustable portion 8 can be continuously adjusted in this way.
    The guide 25 with the slider 26 will ensure that the aforementioned adjustable portion 8 cannot shift in the horizontal sense, but can only move in the vertical sense.
    The movement of the levers 12 and thus the supports 16 under the influence of the rotation around the pivot point 14 also has a horizontal component. The guide 25 will ensure that this vertical component is not transferred to the aforementioned part 8.
    The fact that the second ends 15b of the levers 12, with the transmission rod 17 and the relevant pivot points 14, form a parallelogram, will ensure that the relevant part 8 always remains parallel to itself.
    In this case, the portion 8 will always remain horizontal.
    When this portion 8 is raised, it will depress the springs 4 and / or the foam layer 5 lying above it.
    This hardness increases the hardness of the springs 4 and / or the foam layer 5.
    By an opposite movement of the drive 11, and the associated rotation of the crankshaft 18 and the levers 12 in the opposite sense, the supports 16 and the height-adjustable part 8 can be brought down at the shoulders.
    As a result, the springs 4 and / or the foam layer 5 will be compressed less so that the hardness of the springs 4 and / or the foam layer 5 decreases.
    A similar principle or effect is possible for the height-adjustable portion 8 at the site of the loin.
    Since each adjustable part 8 is provided with its own adjusting mechanism 10, the hardness of each part 8 can be adjusted separately.
    The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as examples and shown in the figures, but an undercarriage and box spring or comfort bed according to the invention can be realized in all shapes and sizes without departing from the scope of the invention.
