Benefits of technology

[0020] The net additionally provides the possibility of fastening both local stiffening means for the connection and also for variously distributed springs or spring elements. The springs or spring elements distributed as desired over the surface of the net provide an additional spring mounting of a support, in particular a mattress, arranged on the supportive spring base. The springs or spring elements can be clipped onto longitudinally or transversally directed strands of the net. The springs or spring elements are preferably situated at junction points of the net where a particularly favorable snap connection of the spring or spring elements to the net is possible. The springs or spring element preferably have supports with a large surface area, in particular spring disks. These result in a distribution of the load under the support or mattress, with the result that local in

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The supportive spring bases, which are only shown in part in the figures, serve as a support for, for example, a mattress (not shown) of a bed or else of a bunk or a couch.

[0032] The supportive spring base has a plurality of preferably identically designed spring slats 10. The individual spring slats 10 run parallel to one another at a distance. The distances between adjacent spring slats 10 may be identical, but also may differ from one another in some regions. All of the spring slats 10 preferably lie in a common, horizontal plane, but may also be in a different plane or on a slope in some regions, for example in the head region.

[0033] The spring slats 10 are mounted at opposite ends on two parallel longitudinal struts 11. The longitudinal struts 11 extend in the longitudinal direction of the supportive spring base or of the mattress arranged thereon. By contrast, the spring slats 10 run transversely with respect to the longitudinal struts 11 (FIG. 1). The longitudinal st...

Abstract

A cost-effective supportive spring base which nevertheless ensures a high degree of comfort for sleeping or reclining. For this purpose, connecting elements (13) for the connection of at least two spring slats (10) are provided. The connecting elements (13) preferably have spring elements and/or suspension devices (16) which permit a relative movement of the connecting elements (13) with respect to the spring slats (10). The abovementioned measures use simple means to provide a supportive spring base having a high degree of comfort for reclining or sleeping.
