Benefits of technology

"The invention is a supportive spring base that uses connecting elements to connect multiple spring slats together. These connecting elements are designed to be elastic, meaning they can change their shape when subjected to a load. This allows for a continuous, steady change in the shape of the spring base, and also allows for the transfer of movement between adjacent spring slats. The connecting elements are mounted on the spring slats and can be of elastic design, providing a more flexible connection. The load-bearing means hold the spring elements between adjacent spring slats and ensure they are elastically connected. The invention provides a cost-effective solution for producing a supportive spring base."

Problems solved by technology

Further differences between the known supportive spring bases are found in their production costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]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.

[0035]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 (shown as broken line CS on FIG. 3), but may also be in a different plane or on a slope in some regions, for example in the head region.

[0036]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 1...
