Bed base and bed provided with said bed base, wherein the bed base is provided with massaging means

A bed base for fixing to a bed, the bed base comprising:

• a plurality of slats positioned one after another so as to define a support plane for a mattress, each of said plurality of slats being placed transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the support plane;
• a plurality of contiguous portions placed one after another along the longitudinal direction, said plurality of contiguous portions being hinged to each other by respective hinges, at least some of said plurality of contiguous portions being movable and positionable in at least two configurations, one of the at least two configurations having said plurality of contiguous portions being aligned with respect to each other so as to as form the support plane, another of the at least two configurations having at least one of said plurality of contiguous portions inclined with respect to an adjacent portion of said plurality of contiguous portions;
• at least one rotary shaft coupled with said plurality of slats so as to move said plurality of slats vertically by deflection;
• a first drive having a first articulated shaft;
• and
• a second drive having a second articulated shaft, wherein said first articulated shaft and said second articulated shaft are mechanically unconnected and independent of each other, the first articulated shaft being connected to a first series of slats of said plurality of slats so as to move the first series of slats, the first series of slats being placed at a first group of said plurality of contiguous portions, the second articulated shaft being connected to a second series of slats of said plurality of slates so as to move the second series of slats, the second series of slats being placed at a second group of said plurality of contiguous portions, wherein said plurality of contiguous portions comprise a first portion and a second portion and a third portion and a fourth portion, the first portion being fixed with respect to the second portion and the third portion, the second portion and the third portion being movable, the first group of the plurality of contiguous portions being the first portion and the second portion, the second group of the plurality of contiguous portions being the third portion and the fourth portion, wherein the first articulated shaft has a first shaft and a second shaft that are connected to each other by a first joint, the second articulated shaft having a third shaft and a fourth shaft connected to each other by a second joint, the first shaft positioned below the first portion, the second shaft positioned below the second portion, the third shaft positioned below the third portion, the fourth shaft positioned below the fourth portion.
