Spring-slat arrangement for a bedstead

A spring-slat arrangement for use in a bed of the type having parallel, longitudinal beams, the spring-slat arrangement comprising a plurality of sets of spring-slats parallel to one another and to a transverse direction of said bed,

• wherein each set comprises at least one pair of spring-slats comprising an upper slat and a lower slat, means for holding said upper slat above said lower slat in a spaced apart relationship therewith, said lower slat having an undulation peak situated below a mid-region of said upper slat,
• said arrangement further comprising support means situated on the parallel longitudinal beams of said bed, for separately receiving the ends of said spring-slats, said arrangement being such that upon application of a load onto said upper spring slats the latter undergo a first deflection until their mid-regions contact the said undulation peak of the corresponding lower spring-slats, and thereafter a second deflection together with said lower spring-slats while remaining in contact therewith.

A spring-slat arrangement for use in a bed of the type having parallel longitudinal beams, the arrangement comprising a plurality of sets of spring-slats composed of at least an upper and a lower slat parallel to one-another and to a transverse direction of said bed, wherein each said set comprises at least one pair of support means situated on the parallel longitudinal beams of said bed, for holding both ends of said slats, each said support means comprising a solid holding part having at least one pair of recesses located in superposed relationship, and adapted for receiving one of the ends of each one of said slats of said pair and a retaining member able to be secured to one of said beams, said retaining members being arranged for resiliently supporting said holding part while permitting it to effect a tilting movement upon a deformation imparted to said lower and/or said upper slat.
