Estimating the term…
Supporting spring systems for sleeping, reclining or sitting furniture must have spring characteristics that provide good sleeping, reclining and/or sitting comfort. In known supporting spring systems, this is achieved only by relatively high design expenditure. The invention aims to create a simple and flexible supporting spring system which nevertheless ensures high sleeping, reclining or sitting comfort. Support elements (13, 50, 60, 70, 80) for connecting two female connectors (10) of a pair of female connectors (11) are provided for this purpose. The support elements (13, 50, 60, 70, 80) exhibit spring arms (15, 72) that are guided from beneath the female connectors (10) of the pairs of female connectors (11) up around the outside of the pair of female connectors (11).
A supporting spring system in particular for a mattress for an item of sleeping, sitting or reclining furniture, having a plurality of pairs of female multipoint connectors (11), in each case exhibiting female multipoint connectors (10) oriented parallel to one another, having support elements (13, 50, 60, 70, 80) assigned to the longitudinal members oriented transversely to the female multipoint connectors (10) for the purpose of supporting the female multipoint connectors (10) or the pairs of female multipoint connectors (11), which support elements exhibit support plates (14, 81) for the mattress and spring arms (15, 72) for the resilient connection of the support plates (14, 81) to the female connectors (10) and/or the pairs of female multipoint connectors (11), wherein the spring arms (15, 72) are guided from beneath the female multipoint connectors (10) of at least a number of the pairs of female multipoint connectors (11) and upwards around the outside of the pairs of female multipoint connectors (11).
