Abstract
A bed frame having flexible slats which are adjustable in a horizontal plane and having at least one bearing element for supporting one end of at least one flexible slat on a longitudinal beam of the bed frame is provided. The bearing element is movable over an arbitrary displacement path along the longitudinal beam. The bearing element includes a housing which accommodates the respective end of the flexible slat and in which at least one spring-loaded detent device, which is actuatable by hand, is situated and which engages with associated receiving profiles in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beam and is lockable at that location.
Claims18
A bed frame having flexible slats which are adjustable in a horizontal plane and having at least one bearing element for supporting one end of at least one flexible slat on a longitudinal beam of the bed frame, wherein the at least one bearing element is movable over an arbitrary displacement path along the longitudinal beam, the at least one bearing element comprising a housing which accommodates the respective end of the at least one flexible slat and at least one spring-loaded detent device situated in the housing, the at least one spring-loaded detent device being actuatable by hand, and engaging with associated receiving profiles in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beam and lockable at that location,
- wherein the receiving profiles are designed as locking rails which extend in the longitudinal direction over an entire length of the longitudinal beam and bears associated teeth, and
- wherein the detent device comprises at least two locking bars which face in opposite directions and are in spring-loaded engagement with the associated toothing of the locking rail.
A bed frame comprising:
- spring slats configured to be adjustable in a horizontal plane,
- at least one mounting element for mounting one end of the at least one of the spring slats on a longitudinal member of the bed frame, the at least one mounting element configured to be displaceable along the longitudinal member over any desired displacement length, the at least one mounting element comprising a housing to receive a respective end of the spring slats and at least one manually operated spring-loaded locking device that engages in associated receiving profiles in a longitudinal direction of the longitudinal member and is configured to be locked therein,
- a locking rail forming the receiving profile that extends in the longitudinal direction over an entire length of the longitudinal member and carries an associated set of teeth, the locking device comprising at least two locking latches oriented in opposite directions to one another and engaged with the associated set of teeth under spring load.
