Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bed bases and in particular bed bases for difficult environments. State of the art

[0002] In harsh environments such as prisons or hospitals, patients or inmates sleep on beds adapted to these environments. In these harsh environments, it may happen that the individual is forced onto the bed, which has a reinforced bed base or bed frame, for example made of metal to better withstand the test of time. In such cases, the individual can be injured, particularly by a bed frame at the level of their shins, which should be avoided. In addition, in this type of bed, individuals tend to hide small objects such as lighters or razor blades in gaps between the mattress and the bed base.

[0003] The invention is therefore placed in this context and seeks to resolve all of the aforementioned drawbacks. Thus, the invention seeks to propose a bed base suitable for difficult environments and making it possible to prevent an individual from injuring themselves and / or to prevent them from hiding objects in the bed. Presentation of the invention.

[0004] The invention relates to a bed base characterized in that it comprises a base comprising at least one folded edge comprising an internal face comprising a plurality of fixing means; a foam comprising a recess adapted to receive and cover the base and the external face of each folded edge; a cover adapted to cover the foam, said cover comprising a perimeter comprising perforations, said perforations being adapted to cooperate with the fixing means so that the perimeter covers the internal face of the folded edge; a plurality of reinforcing elements arranged against the perimeter so that said perimeter is included between said internal face of the folded edge and said reinforcing element.

[0005] The base may comprise a metal frame adapted to receive a sleeping mattress. The base may comprise a metal and / or wooden support to receive a mattress. The base may comprise at least one folded edge. In one embodiment, the base may comprise four folded edges. Each folded edge may comprise an inner face facing an inner face of an opposite edge and an outer face. The outer face may be adapted to be continuous with the base. The outer face may be adapted to avoid protruding from the base. The outer face may be intended to be opposite the legs of a user of the bed base and in particular opposite the shins of said user.

[0006] The fastening means may be threaded rods on all or part of said rod. Each flange may comprise at least three fastening means. In one embodiment, a flange may comprise four fastening means. In another embodiment, a flange may comprise ten fastening means.

[0007] The bed base may include foam suitable for covering both the base and the outer face of the rim. The foam may provide shock absorption if an individual approaches the edge of the base. The foam may have a thickness of between 18 cm and 24 cm. In another embodiment, the foam may have a thickness of between 34 cm and 40 cm. The foam may have a recess on an underside whose depth is between 2 cm and 5 cm and suitable for receiving the base.

[0008] The box spring may include a cover suitable for covering the foam. The cover may include a heat-sealable coated fabric. The cover may include perforations around its perimeter. The cover may advantageously include as many perforations as there are fastening means. The perforations may advantageously be made by drilling. The drilling may be done using a punch suitable for drilling fabrics. The perforations may be made after the cover has been positioned on the foam. The perforations are made so that when the cover is installed on the foam, said perforations may be opposite the fastening means, so that each perforation may cooperate with one of the fastening means. The cover may include a coated fabric to be easily cleaned and / or suitable for receiving a fitted bed sheet.

[0009] The bed base may include a plurality of reinforcing elements arranged on the inner side of the edge. The bed base may advantageously include four reinforcing elements. The reinforcing elements may be metal bars. The reinforcing elements may be adapted to hold the foam in place between the outer side of the edge and the cover. The edge may be covered by the foam and the cover, so that an individual cannot injure themselves if they happen to hit their leg, and in particular their shin, at this point. The reinforcing elements may be arranged so that the edge of the cover is inaccessible between the inner side of the folded edge and said reinforcing element. Therefore, it may be difficult or even impossible for an individual to access the edge of the cover to tear it open in order to hide objects there or to tear it open.

[0010] The use of a rim can make it possible to implement the invention and therefore to fix the cover while limiting the risks of tearing and ripping.

[0011] Advantageously, the edge is folded at 90° relative to the base.

[0012] The edge can be folded towards the ground. The edge can be adapted to be continuous with the base and therefore not to protrude from it.

[0013] Advantageously, the fixing means are welded to the internal face of the folded edge.

[0014] The fact that the fixing means are welded to the internal face of the folded edge can prevent detachment by an individual.

[0015] In another embodiment, the fixing means may form a single piece with the folded edge of the base.

[0016] Advantageously, each fixing means comprises at least one threaded rod.

[0017] Each threaded rod can be adapted to accommodate the perforation of the cover and the drilling of the reinforcement element.

[0018] Advantageously, the reinforcing elements are drilled so that the holes are adapted to cooperate with the fixing means.

[0019] The reinforcing elements may comprise a plurality of holes. The holes are made so that when the reinforcing element is installed on the cover, said holes can be opposite the fixing means, so that each hole can cooperate with one of the fixing means.

[0020] The reinforcement elements can help hold the cover firmly against the inner flap.

[0021] Advantageously, the reinforcing elements are held on the fixing means by additional fixing means.

[0022] Additional fixing means may be bolts adapted to cooperate with the threaded rods.

[0023] Advantageously, the cover has angles formed by heat welding.

[0024] Heat welding straps can be used to stiffen them. The corners can be made using high-frequency heat welding.

[0025] Advantageously, the corners of the cover are adapted to be formed after positioning the perforations of the cover on the fixing means.

[0026] Heat sealing can be performed once the cover is installed over the foam. In a preferred embodiment, heat sealing of the corners can be performed after the reinforcement elements have been installed. Heat sealing after the reinforcement elements have been positioned can help secure the bed base because the cover can no longer be removed and can help keep the foam and cover securely in place.

[0027] Advantageously, the bed base has feet arranged under the base, at a distance from said folded edge.

[0028] The feet can be positioned away from the folded edge to prevent an individual from injuring themselves. The feet can be welded under the base.

[0029] Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a bed base comprising the following steps: welding fixing means to the internal face of the folded edge of the base; applying the foam to the base and the folded edges; applying the cover to cover the foam; fixing the perforations of the cover to the fixing means; heat welding the corners of the cover; placing the reinforcing elements on the fixing means; fixing the reinforcing elements to the fixing means by the complementary fixing means.

[0030] In one embodiment, the method may include a step of piercing the cover once it is positioned on the foam.

[0031] In one embodiment, the heat welding step can take place after the reinforcement elements have been placed on the fixing means. Brief description of the figures.
