Abstract
Base assembly for a bed or chair seat. The assembly includes at least one medium-filled flexible support member and a number of substantially form-retaining bearing elements. The bearing elements rest on the support member such that the bearing elements together provide a bed surface. The base assembly preferably has at least two medium-filled flexible support members and the bearing elements are supported individually by a plurality of support members. The bearing elements can be slats, while the support members can be made from fiber-reinforced flexible plastic material.

Base assembly, for a bed base or chair seat, comprising:
- at least one medium-filled flexible support member and a number of substantially form-retaining bearing elements, wherein the bearing elements rest on the support member such that the bearing elements together provide a base surface, characterized in that coupling means comprise an individually engageable and releasable coupling for each of said bearing elements, said coupling means fixing the bearing elements to the support member, wherein said support member comprises at least one flap for engaging said coupling between said flap and said support member, and wherein said bearing elements are provided with releases for engaging said coupling.
Base assembly, for a bed base or chair seat, comprising:
- at least one medium-filled flexible support member and a number of substantially form-retaining bearing elements, wherein the bearing elements rest on the support member such that the bearing elements together provide a base surface, characterized in that coupling means comprise an individually engageable and releasable coupling for each of said bearing elements, said coupling means fixing the bearing elements to the support member, wherein said support member comprises at least one flap for engaging said coupling between said flap and said support member, and wherein said bearing elements are connected to said coupling by fastening pins.
Base assembly, for a bed base or chair seat, comprising:
- at least one medium-filled flexible support member and a number of substantially form-retaining bearing elements having outer ends, wherein the bearing elements rest on the support member such that the bearing elements together provide a base surface, characterized in that coupling means comprise an individually engageable and releasable coupling for each of said bearing elements, said coupling means fixing the bearing elements to the support member, wherein said support member comprises at least one flap for engaging said coupling between said flap and said support member, and wherein said outer ends of said bearing elements are provided with a covering element.
