Articulated mechanism for a bed

Abstract

An articulated mechanism is described that allows to lift a net of a bed, or in general a support plane (12) for a mattress, to a certain height from ground and / or in respect of a frame (10). In orderto help lifting the frame without effort, the mechanism comprises two substantially parallel segments (16, 18) each hinged at their extremity to a side of the frame and at the other extremity to thesupport plane so as to constitute as a whole an articulated parallelogram; and motor means (16, 20) adapted to push the two segments making them rotate around the hinging points on the frame, therebylifting the frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hinge mechanism for a bed. This mechanism allows raising the net or, in general, the support plane for the mattress to a certain height from the ground and / or relative to the containing frame. Background technique [0002] Mechanisms are known for raising the net or slats of a bed to allow comfortable access to the space below for normal household cleaning duties. In addition, beds are known that have a containment cabinet / frame above which a net can be raised in order to utilize the interior space of the cabinet as a general storage space. [0003] Clearly, there is a need for a lifting mechanism that is both simple (low cost) to manufacture and not difficult to operate. The web or slats are lifted manually and to reduce the effort required it is common to have mechanisms with various arrangements of gas springs or coil springs that servo-assist the lifting motion. [0004] However, there are certain drawbacks in ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The gas spring fully counteracts the weight of the mesh being lifted, but not all, so it still takes some effort
