Description

[0001] The invention relates to a bed with a bed frame and a headboard, wherein the headboard has a lower part connected to a head end of the bed frame and an upper part movable relative to the lower part by means of a drive.

[0002] The invention further relates to a method for storing objects in a headboard of a bed, wherein a lower part of the headboard is connected to a head end of a bed frame and an upper part is moved relative to the lower part via a drive.

[0003] Various bed designs are known from current technology, which can be used for storing items. Beds with storage compartments, such as drawers beneath a mattress or slatted frame, are particularly popular. These drawers can be pulled out from under the bed and fitted with a mattress, thus providing an additional sleeping space. However, they are usually used to store items such as pillows, blankets, or bed linens.

[0004] Furthermore, beds are currently available that sometimes feature generously sized headboards. Such headboards can be hollow and therefore offer storage space for a variety of items. To make the hollow space of the headboard accessible for storage, it is usually equipped with doors that can also be locked. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized users to access the items. This is particularly important if the items are potentially dangerous and / or if other people living in the household, especially children, should not have access to them. Headboards with pull-out or swiveling drawers, in which items such as books can be stored, are also available.

[0005] Accordingly, all these beds with storage options have the disadvantage that they require a large amount of space and appropriate locks must be provided to prevent unauthorized access to certain items.

[0006] Documents US 2022 / 022646 A1 and US 7 181 784 B1 each disclose a bed according to the state of the art.

[0007] The present invention is based on the objective of providing a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which offers a space-saving storage option for objects and at the same time ensures accessibility of the objects to varying degrees of difficulty.

[0008] Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a method of the type mentioned above by which objects can be stored in a headboard of a bed with varying degrees of difficulty in accessing them.

[0009] The first problem is solved according to the invention by the fact that the upper part and / or the lower part has at least one first compartment and the upper part has at least one second compartment, which compartments are not accessible in a closed position, wherein the upper part can first be moved by the drive from the closed position to an intermediate position in which the first compartment is accessible, and then the upper part can be moved by the drive from the intermediate position to an open position in which both the first and second compartments are accessible. In the intermediate position, the second compartment is usually still inaccessible, only the first compartment. Thus, as long as the upper part is in the closed position, the bed appears like a bed with a conventional headboard without any special function.The upper and lower sections can be designed such that the first compartment is at least partially covered by the upper section when closed. This covering renders the first compartment inaccessible when closed. The second compartment is preferably located on the inside of the upper section, so that it too is inaccessible when closed. Consequently, unauthorized users, for example during a burglary, will not notice valuables stored in the compartments. Furthermore, this results in a particularly tidy appearance for the bed, which is especially popular in modernly furnished apartments or houses. Additionally, the items stored in the compartments are protected from dust.

[0010] When the drive is operated manually or automatically, for example via a remote control, and the upper part is moved into the intermediate position, the user gains access to the first compartment. The drive moves the upper part relative to the lower part, removing at least part of the cover of the first compartment. It is not crucial whether the first compartment is located at the top or bottom. However, it has been found advantageous if the first compartment is either attached to the lower part, integrally formed with the lower part, or movably mounted on the upper part. Furthermore, several first compartments can be provided, accessible in the intermediate position. It would also be conceivable for several first compartments to be accessible via multiple intermediate positions.Having reached the intermediate position, the first compartment is easily accessible to the user, so that items to be stored, such as a book, a tablet or a mobile phone, can be easily placed in or taken out of it.

[0011] Subsequently, the upper part can be moved manually or automatically into the open position via the drive mechanism, in which the second compartment is accessible. Accordingly, items can be inserted into or removed from the second compartment, and in particular only in the open position. Additionally, items can also be inserted into or removed from the first compartment in the open position. Preferably, the top section is therefore equipped with a two- or three-stage opening mechanism, meaning that the upper part can be moved by the drive mechanism into one or two intermediate positions before reaching the open position.

[0012] To move the upper part via the drive into the closed position, at least one intermediate position and the open position, a control panel can be provided on the lower part and / or upper part or on the remote control, via which an authorized user is identified by entering a code, a fingerprint sensor or facial recognition and an operation of the drive is enabled.

[0013] A bed frame typically consists of a frame in which a slatted base and / or a mattress can be placed. The bed frame can either be placed directly on a surface or have several legs for support. Using legs, usually one at each corner of the bed frame, offers the advantage that these can be adjustable, allowing the height of the sleeping surface to be adjusted relative to the floor. Such adjustable legs can also compensate for unevenness in the floor.

[0014] Typically, both the bed frame and the headboard are made of wood. However, other materials such as plastic or metal can also be used.

[0015] In addition, the interior of the headboard can be illuminated by light sources, especially LED lamps, so that the user can easily find and remove the stored items.

[0016] The dimensions of the bed can be those of either a single or a double bed. Preferably, the bed, including the headboard, has a length of 220 cm to 300 cm and a width of 95 cm to 250 cm. The width of the headboard usually exceeds the width of the bed frame by at least 10%. The height of the headboard is typically 100 cm to 150 cm in the closed position and 150 cm to 220 cm in the open position. The height of the headboard in the intermediate position depends heavily on its design but lies between that of the closed and open positions.

[0017] It has proven effective to position the second compartment below and / or behind the first compartment when closed. This makes the second compartment particularly difficult to access. If the second compartment is positioned below the first, access to it is blocked by the lower part of the compartment. This blockage prevents access to the second compartment not only in the closed position but also in the intermediate position. Accordingly, access to a second compartment positioned in this way is only possible by moving the upper part of the compartment to the open position. The same applies if the second compartment is positioned behind the first compartment when closed. In this case, however, it is not the lower part of the compartment that blocks access to the second compartment, but rather the first compartment itself. For this purpose, the first compartment has a back panel behind which the second compartment is located in both the closed and intermediate positions.Only when the second compartment is no longer covered by the back wall of the first compartment in the open position are the items stored therein accessible, or items can be placed into it.

[0018] Preferably, the upper part is movable relative to the lower part in a vertical direction via the drive mechanism. This results in a particularly small footprint for the bed. Unlike conventional beds with storage compartments for items, such as drawers, which require additional floor space to open, the footprint of such a bed remains constant in the closed, intermediate, and open positions. The compartments are accessed by the vertical movement of the upper part relative to the lower part, particularly sequentially. First, the intermediate position, in which the first compartment is accessible, is reached, and finally the open position, in which both compartments are accessible, with the bed's footprint increasing only in the vertical direction.

[0019] It has proven advantageous to provide several drives arranged symmetrically, particularly on opposite sides of the upper and / or lower sections. Drives arranged in this way result in a particularly smooth movement of the upper section, allowing even delicate items to be safely inserted into and removed from the compartments. The lower section typically has at least two side walls and a back wall, the back wall usually being located against a wall of a room. The side walls are usually parallel and abut the back wall. The upper section may have a back wall and a roof. Accordingly, it is advantageous to have two opposing drives arranged on the side walls of the lower section and the roof of the upper section, or on the back walls of both the upper and lower sections. The drives can be attached to either the upper or the lower section.It is also conceivable that the drive or drives are attached to only one of the two parts. Alternatively, a single central drive could be located in the middle of the back wall of the upper and / or lower part.

[0020] Preferably, the drive is arranged on both the upper and lower parts and is designed as a linear actuator, particularly with a linear motor. This allows for particularly efficient and quiet vertical movement of the upper part. The linear actuator is arranged on both the upper and lower parts such that the upper part, preferably exclusively, is movable vertically relative to the lower part. For this purpose, the linear actuator can be designed as a working cylinder, particularly a telescopic one, resulting in a particularly compact design. A linear actuator, typically referred to as an electromechanical cylinder, has proven to be especially advantageous, as it is characterized by low noise levels and exceptional durability during operation.According to the invention, the lifting drive is designed as an electric motor with a corresponding gearbox, such that the upper and lower parts can be moved relative to each other in a linear translational motion via the gearbox. Alternatively, the lifting drive could also be designed as a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. Furthermore, the upper part can be locked in the closed, intermediate, and / or open positions. Such locking of the upper part can be achieved either by positive locking, for example, by a pin or a bolt, or by locking the lifting drive. In this way, the upper part can also be held in the intermediate or open position for extended periods.

[0021] Although a vertical translational movement is preferred for moving the upper part, it can alternatively also be moved into the intermediate position and the open position via a rotational movement or a combined rotational and translational movement.

[0022] The drive is conveniently controllable via a portable device, especially a smartphone. This allows the upper part to be easily moved into one of the different positions. The portable device can be connected to the drive via a wireless connection, particularly infrared, radio, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. Alternatively, the portable device can be indirectly connected to and control the drive via the control panel located on the upper and / or lower part. If a tablet or smartphone is used as the portable device, control is also possible via an app installed on the device. Furthermore, a remote control for the control panel can also be considered a portable device for controlling the drive. Accordingly, the drive can be controlled via the portable device, just as with the control panel, and the upper part can be moved to the closed, intermediate, or open position.While preferably at least three buttons are provided for the at least three positions, an additional button for stepless adjustment of the upper section can also be included. This results in a multitude of intermediate positions, allowing the user to position the upper section in the intermediate position that provides access to the desired first compartment when multiple compartments are present. Furthermore, identification features such as codes, fingerprint sensors, or facial recognition, integrated into the portable device or app, can be used to identify the user. This prevents unauthorized users from controlling the drive and thus accessing the stored items, even when using the portable device.

[0023] Ideally, the first and second compartments are movable relative to each other when the upper section changes from the closed position to the intermediate position and / or the open position. This allows items in the second compartment to be stored more securely and enables the top section to be designed in a particularly compact space. Specifically, the second compartment is movable behind the back panel of the first compartment, so that in the intermediate position the first compartment is accessed first, before the second compartment becomes accessible in the open position. In this way, the first compartment can also be attached to the lower section or be integrally formed with it. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable for both compartments to move simultaneously when the upper section is moved.

[0024] Preferably, when the upper section moves from the intermediate position to the open position, the first compartment is movable from the second compartment. This is particularly advantageous when the second compartment is located below the first, and especially when both compartments are positioned on the upper section. Items in the second compartment can be stored more securely because it is positioned in a way that makes it particularly difficult to access. When moving from the intermediate position to the open position, the first compartment is carried along by the second compartment, so that the second compartment can become visible beneath the first as it moves into the open position. Consequently, the second compartment is covered by the lower section and thus inaccessible until the open position is reached. A design in which the first compartment is mounted on a sliding bracket on the back of the upper section has proven effective in this regard.This ensures that the position of the first compartment remains unchanged when the upper part is moved from the closed position to the intermediate position, so that only the cover of the first compartment is removed when the upper part is moved. The second compartment is attached to a fixed recess in the upper part, which means that in the intermediate position it rests against the underside of the first compartment and carries it along when the upper part is moved from the intermediate position to the open position.

[0025] It has proven advantageous for the lower section to be at least partially hollow, allowing for the inclusion of at least the second compartment. This results in particularly secure storage of items within the head section, which also requires very little space. The side walls of the lower section can be dimensioned so that the roof of the upper section is flush with them or overlaps them. Consequently, the upper section can be placed on top of the lower section, with some areas of the two sections overlapping. Typically, placing the upper section on the side walls of the lower section defines the endpoint of the movement of both parts relative to each other, and thus also the closed position.Furthermore, the upper section, including the second compartment, can only be lowered to the level of the base plate of the lower section. This ensures that at least the second compartment, which is usually attached inside the upper section, for example to its back panel, rests on the base plate. In any case, at least the second compartment disappears into the cavity of the lower section, so that in the closed position it is located deep within the lower section and is neither accessible nor visible from the outside.

[0026] Preferably, the backrest of the upper and / or lower section, adjacent to the head end of the bed frame, forms an angle of 90° or more, particularly 90° to 120°, with the bed's sleeping surface. Consequently, the user can easily and comfortably lean against the backrest of the upper and / or lower section while sitting on the bed. Depending on the desired sitting position, the backrest can have a shallower or steeper angle to the bed's sleeping surface. Alternatively, the backrest can be movably mounted on the top of the upper section, allowing the angle to be adjusted. Typically, the angle between the backrest and the bed's sleeping surface can be increased as needed and then returned to its original angle.Preferably, the backrest is manually adjustable, with the upper part of the backrest being movably mounted and the lower part having an adjustable and lockable support for the backrest. Alternatively, the support for the lower part can also be formed by the backrest itself. Furthermore, an automatic adjustment mechanism is also conceivable, with the support being adjustable and lockable via a motor controlled by the control panel or a portable device.

[0027] It is advantageous if the upper section has a horizontal roof from which the backrest extends downwards. This allows items, especially decorations, to be placed on the headboard. Usually, the roof and backrest are arranged so that, in the closed position, the backrest covers the first compartment, making it inaccessible, and simultaneously serves as a backrest. Furthermore, in the intermediate and / or open positions, the backrest can partially obstruct the view of the second compartment, so that items inside are not immediately visible. Essentially, the roof prevents access to the compartments from above and also prevents dust from entering the headboard. The horizontal roof also provides a surface on its upper surface for items such as decorations.Due to the smooth movement of the upper section into different positions via the drive mechanism, these items do not need to be removed from the horizontal roof before the upper section moves; they can remain on it. Furthermore, the roof can also have additional compartments that are accessible regardless of the upper section's position.

[0028] Furthermore, the roof and back section can also be pivotally connected via a hinge, and a locking mechanism and / or latch may be provided to limit the deflection of the back section. The properties of the roof and back section described above are retained in this design variant as well.

[0029] Advantageously, the upper and lower sections of the bed have back panels that overlap, at least partially, when closed. This provides both a particularly secure cover for the first compartment and a particularly stable arrangement of the back panels. An overlap of just a few millimeters is sufficient for this purpose. Consequently, the back panels can better absorb the forces exerted when the user leans against them, allowing several users to sit on the bed simultaneously and lean against the back panels. Furthermore, the overlapping back panels make it more difficult for an unauthorized user to access the first compartment and remove items from it when the bed is closed.

[0030] The backrest of the upper and / or lower section is advantageously padded. This makes it particularly comfortable for one or more users to lean against the backrest while seated. Such padding is typically covered with leather or fabric.

[0031] The methodological problem is solved according to the invention in that the upper part and / or the lower part has at least one first compartment and the upper part has at least one second compartment, wherein the upper part is first moved from a closed position, in which the compartments are inaccessible, to an intermediate position in order to insert or remove objects from the first compartment, before the upper part is moved to an open position in order to insert or remove objects from the second compartment. Preferably, a bed designed according to the invention is used for this purpose.

[0032] This method offers the advantages described above, allowing items to be stored particularly easily and securely within the headboard. The first compartment can be located either at the bottom or in the top section and, in the closed position, is covered by the top section, especially its back panel. To access the first compartment, the top section is moved relative to the bottom section by the drive mechanism, from the closed position to an intermediate position. Multiple first compartments can also be provided, which can then be accessed by the user via several intermediate positions, if necessary. Accordingly, the top section is moved so that the portion of the top section covering the first compartment is removed.This covering area of ​​the upper part is preferably designed as a backrest and connected to the roof of the upper part, with the backrest forming an angle of 90° or more, in particular 90° to 120°, with the bed's lying surface. This allows the user to lean back against it particularly comfortably in a seated position, whether in the closed or intermediate position. When the upper part is moved from the intermediate position to the open position, both the first and second compartments are typically accessible to the user. The second compartment can be positioned below and / or behind the first compartment, and the compartments can be moved relative to each other so that both compartments are accessible to the user in the open position.Furthermore, the lower part is usually hollow, at least in some areas, so that compartments arranged on the upper part, in particular the second compartment, can be accommodated in the intermediate position and / or the closed position.

[0033] Preferably, the upper part is moved relative to the lower part via a vertical translational movement. This allows for a particularly simple design of both the drive mechanism and the compartments, and enables the safe movement of objects arranged on the top of the upper part. This vertical translational movement is typically performed by the lifting drive, particularly with a linear motor, whereby the upper part is lifted from the lower part and, initially in an intermediate position, the first compartment is made accessible to the user. If a back panel is provided on the upper part, this can be moved away from the first compartment during the vertical translational movement, thus making it accessible to the user. Furthermore, a second compartment located within the lower part in the closed position can be made accessible to the user by moving the upper part from the intermediate position to the open position.The two compartments can also be moved relative to each other, so that when switching to the open position, the second compartment can appear under the first compartment.

[0034] Preferably, the second compartment is located in the lower part when the upper part is moved into the closed position. This makes the second compartment particularly difficult to access in the closed position. This can be achieved, for example, by making the lower part at least partially hollow, so that the second compartment located in the upper part can be lowered into it when moving from the intermediate position to the closed position.

[0035] The second compartment is then included in the cavity and, in particular, completely covered by it.

[0036] Further features, advantages, and effects of the invention will become apparent from the embodiments described below. The drawings referenced therein show: Fig. 1 a top view of a first design variant of a bed; Fig. 2a bis 2d Sectional views of the first version of the bed; Fig. 3 a top view of a second design variant of a bed; Fig. 4a bis 4c Sectional views of the second version of the bed.

[0037] In Fig. 1 Figure 1 shows a top view of a first embodiment of a bed 1, comprising a bed frame 3 and a headboard 2. It is evident that a mattress 4 is arranged within the bed frame 3, bordering the headboard 2 at one end and forming a lying surface L. The lying surface L is defined by the upper surface of the mattress 4, which typically forms a flat surface on which a user usually lies or sits. The bed frame 3 usually rests directly on a surface or on feet, which may be adjustable to set the height of the lying surface L. Furthermore, it is evident that the headboard 2 is connected to the bed frame 3 and has an upper part 5 and a lower part 6. In this embodiment, the upper part 5 is designed with a top and a first backrest 8.Furthermore, the lower section 6 is also designed with a second backrest 9, which overlaps the first backrest 8. These backrests 8 and 9 can be used by the user for leaning against while seated, and can also be padded for added comfort. In this version, both the bed frame 3 and the headboard 2 have largely rounded corners and edges.

[0038] Fig. 2a bis 2d The figures show sectional views of the headboard 2 and the adjacent bed frame 3 including the mattress 4 with different positions of the upper part 5, wherein in Fig. 2a a section along line II-II in Fig. 1 is shown. As in Fig. 1 shown, is also in the Fig. 2a The headboard 2 with the upper part 5 is visible in a closed position. Fig. 2b bis 2d The corresponding sectional views of bed 1 with the upper section 5 in further positions are shown. The sectional view allows the detailed reconstruction of the headboard 2. It is evident that the first backrest 8 and the second backrest 9 are arranged in an overlapping manner, with the backrests 8 and 9 forming the same angle α with the lying surface L of bed 1. Furthermore, the first backrest 8 can be formed as a single unit with the roof 7 of the upper section 5, or alternatively, a force-fit and / or form-fit connection between the first backrest 8 and the roof 7, or a hinge with a locking mechanism between the roof 7 and the first backrest 8, can be provided. The first backrest 8 and the second backrest 9 are typically approximately parallel.With a horizontal design of the roof 7 as shown, an upper angle β is therefore obtained between the first back section 8 and the roof 7, which corresponds approximately to the angle α between the lower back section 9 and the lying surface L.

[0039] Furthermore, this illustration shows that the upper part 5 has a first back wall 10, on the inside of which three second compartments 11 are arranged. Alternatively, a single second compartment 11 or several second compartments 11 can be provided. These second compartments 11 can be used for the particularly secure storage of objects. The second compartments 11 are located within a cavity of the lower part 6, which is bounded by side walls 13, the second back wall 12, the second back section 9, and a base plate 14. On its outer side, the first back wall 10 of the upper part 5 abuts an inner surface of a second back wall 12 of the lower part 6, with the two back walls 10 and 12 being arranged parallel to each other.

[0040] Furthermore, the lower part 6 has two first compartments 15, which are provided with a third back panel 16 on the inside of the head section 2. The first compartments 15 can also be used for storing items, and alternatively, there can be only one first compartment 15 or several first compartments 15. This third back panel 16 conceals the second compartments 11 of the upper part 5 when closed. The first compartments 15 themselves are covered by the two back panels 8, 9 when the upper part 5 is closed. Accordingly, they are not accessible to the user when closed.

[0041] Furthermore, a drive 17 can be identified in this view, wherein the drive 17 is designed as a lifting drive with a telescopic, electromechanical cylinder with a linear motor, which is attached on one side to the lower part 6 and on the other side to the roof 7 of the upper part 5. The drive 17 is supplied with energy via a power connection (not shown) and is controlled via a control panel and / or a portable device, such as a tablet, a mobile phone, or a remote control. For this purpose, it may be provided that the user is identified via the control panel or an app on the portable device by means of codes, fingerprint, or facial recognition before the drive 17 can be controlled.

[0042] Furthermore, light sources such as LED lamps can be provided in the upper part 5 and / or lower part 6 to illuminate the interior of the head section 2 and to make it easier for the user to remove items.

[0043] In the sectional view of the Fig. 2b The upper part 5 has been moved relative to the lower part 6 via the drive 17 and is now in a first intermediate position. In this first intermediate position, one of the two first compartments 15 is no longer covered by the first back section 8 and is therefore accessible to the user. Consequently, in this first intermediate position, the user can only insert or remove objects from this first compartment 15. Furthermore, the shape of the side wall 13 of the lower part 6 can be seen in this illustration.

[0044] The sectional view of the Fig. 2c Figure 5 shows the upper part in a second intermediate position, in which both first compartments 15 are now accessible to the user. If the user is intimately familiar with the design of the head section 2, they could already place an object in the uppermost of the second compartments 11 in this second intermediate position. However, usually only the first two compartments 15 are accessible in this second intermediate position.

[0045] Fig. 2d Figure 1 shows a sectional view in which the upper part 5 is moved into an open position via the drive 17. In this open position, not only the first two compartments 15, but also all three second compartments 11 are easily accessible. Accordingly, in this position, all first compartments 15 and second compartments 11 can be filled with items, so that the upper part 5 can be moved via the drive 17 into one of the two intermediate positions or the closed position for storing the items. Consequently, the bed 1 of the first embodiment is provided with a headboard 2 with a three-stage opening mechanism.

[0046] The top view of the Fig. 3 Figure 1 shows a second version of bed 1, in which the corners or edges of the bed frame 3 and the headboard 2 are not rounded. Furthermore, a large number of features are identical or analogous to those of the first and second versions, so the following description of the second version will only address the features that differ from the first.

[0047] In the Fig. 4a bis 4c Sectional views of bed 1 of the second design variant are shown, with in Fig. 4a A section along line IV-IV is shown. The sectional views of the Fig. 4b bis 4c show the bed 1 of the second version variant, in which the upper part 5 of the headboard 2 is moved into different positions accordingly.

[0048] As seen in the sectional view of the Fig. 4a As can be seen, the headboard 2 of this variant also has an upper part 5 with a first backrest 8 and a lower part 6 with a second backrest 9; however, these do not overlap and form an angle α of approximately 90° with the lying surface L of the bed 1. The first backrest 8 of the upper part 5 is, analogous to the first variant, integrally formed with the roof 7.

[0049] In the closed position shown, it can also be seen that both the first two compartments 15 and the second compartment 11 are located on the upper part 5. However, the second compartment 11 is located deep inside the hollow interior of the lower part 6, particularly very close to the base plate 14, making objects inside it especially difficult to access. As can be seen, the second rear wall 12 of the lower part 6 extends to the roof 7 of the upper part 5.

[0050] The sectional view of the Fig. 4b Figure 1 shows the headboard 2 of bed 1 in the intermediate position. For this, the upper part 5 is moved vertically via the drive 17.

[0051] The translation movement is shifted relative to the lower part 6, so that the first compartments 15, previously covered by the first back section 8, become accessible to the user. In this process, the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 11 also move relative to each other, with the second compartment 11 approaching the first compartment 15 from below, but remaining covered by the lower part 6 and thus inaccessible.

[0052] In the sectional view of the Fig. 4c The open position of the headboard 2 is shown. In comparison with the Fig. 4bIt becomes clear that when the upper part 5 moves from the intermediate position to the open position, the first compartment 15 is carried along vertically by the second compartment 11. Accordingly, the first compartment 15 is slidably arranged on the first rear wall 10 of the upper part 5. For this purpose, a sliding receptacle can be provided between the first rear wall 10 of the upper part 5 and the third rear wall 16 of the first compartment 15. Thus, in the open position, both the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 11 can be used for storing items. Consequently, this embodiment incorporates a two-stage opening mechanism.

[0053] Both bed 1 of the first version and bed 1 of the second version allow for the storage of items in the headboard 2 of bed 1. The user can more easily access items stored in the first compartment (15) than items stored in the second compartment (11).
