Description

[0001] The invention relates to a kit for assembling a bed frame, comprising two side frame parts, a footboard, and a headboard, wherein the side frame parts are parallel to each other and their first ends can be connected to the footboard and their second ends to the headboard, and wherein the frame parts, the footboard and the headboard have a covering.

[0002] Such kits are well-known in the art and are supplied with various covers in different designs and colors. Before being stored, the kit components are fitted with padding and covers. To be able to respond to customer requests as quickly as possible, a large number of kits in different colors and designs must be stored, resulting in correspondingly high storage costs.

[0003] Another disadvantage of the known kits is that once the covers are attached to the bed frame components, they cannot be removed without damaging them. Therefore, washing or replacing a cover, for example to change the color or quality of the bed frame, is not possible.

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a kit that reduces storage costs without decreasing the number of available variants. Furthermore, the cover of the bed frame should be removable even after it has been attached to the bed frame components, without damaging the cover.

[0005] To solve the problem, the invention proposes that the cover be detachably attached or attachable to the frame parts, as well as to the headboard and footboard, wherein the cover of the headboard is designed in the form of a slipcover and the headboard has a first profile rail facing the support surface and open towards the level of the bed frame, into which a first edge region of the slipcover is clamped in the assembly position with a first clamping rail or clamping strip attached to the first edge region, wherein the slipcover has interlocking locking parts at second edge regions and the headboard has locking parts at a lower edge in the assembly position.

[0006] This ingenious design allows for easy replacement of the cover for cleaning or in case of damage. Furthermore, it results in significant space and cost savings in storage, as it eliminates the need to keep numerous fabric-covered bed frames on hand. Instead, a variety of covers are stored efficiently and can be added to the kit according to customer preference. Another advantage is that the frame components, as well as the headboard and footboard, are universally interchangeable, creating a sustainable system.

[0007] The cover is preferably made in two parts, with a first part for the frame and foot section and a second part for the head section. The head section cover is in the form of a slipcover that is pulled over the head section and clamped into a first profile of the head section by a first clamping rail or strip attached to a first edge of the slipcover. The clamping rail or strip holds the slipcover firmly to the head section at one edge, allowing the cover to then be stretched and attached to a lower edge of the head section at the other edge. The attachment of the second edge to the edge of the head section is achieved, for example, using hook-and-loop fasteners. For this purpose, the second edge is preferably folded over one side of the head section facing the standing surface and attached either on the underside of this side or on the inside of a side facing the support surface.The cover can be easily removed from the headboard by separating the Velcro fasteners and removing the clamping rail or strip from the profile.

[0008] The frame parts are attached to the base, and the second part of the cover is also detachably attached to these parts.

[0009] It is preferably provided that the covering of the frame parts and the foot part is a strip of material which has further clamping rails or clamping strips on a first mounting edge, which can each be inserted into a further profile rail of the respective side part and the foot part that is open to the standing surface, wherein a second mounting edge of the material strip, as well as the foot part and the side parts in the intended mounting position have interlocking (hook and loop) fastening parts.

[0010] The process for attaching the cover to the headboard is similar to attaching the material strip to the frame and footboard. The material strip has clamping rails or strips along one mounting edge, which are inserted into the profile rails of the frame and footboard and held securely in place. The material strip is then stretched over the corresponding part (frame / footboard) and secured on the underside, either on the side facing the standing surface or on the inside, on the side facing the contact surface, using (hook-and-loop) fasteners. The material strip can also be removed from the frame and footboard without damage.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the headboard and / or the footboard and / or the frame parts have or have a recess, groove or channel open towards the support surface of the bed frame, into which the first and / or second profile rail is inserted recessed behind the surface of the headboard and / or the footboard and / or the frame parts.

[0012] In this recess, groove or channel, the profile rails are preferably installed completely behind the surface of the corresponding part (foot part, frame part, head part), so that no components of the profile rails protrude above these surfaces that would interfere when inserting a slatted frame and a mattress and when subsequently covering the mattress.

[0013] It is preferably provided that the material strip is formed in one piece, so that no seams are arranged, particularly in the corner areas.

[0014] It is also preferred that the frame parts, the headboard and the footboard be made of wood.

[0015] Preferably, it is provided that at least the headboard in the intended mounting position forms or has a decorative wall that is erected at a right angle to the support surface of the bed frame and projects away from the bed frame at the head end.

[0016] This wall can serve as a backrest and simultaneously as a base for the bed frame on the floor. In particular, such a wall is intended for decorative purposes and is visually enhanced through upholstery and covers.

[0017] It is particularly preferred that the frame parts, the foot section and the head section have a textile cover to which the cover is attached with Velcro elements, wherein the textile cover is pre-assembled on the frame parts, the foot section and the head section and the textile cover is at least partially covered by the cover in its intended position.

[0018] This textile cover can be, for example, a velour cover to which a hook-and-loop fastener, preferably a sewn-in strip, is attached. The advantage of completely covering the parts with the textile cover is that the cover, which is pulled and stretched over the parts and the textile cover, can be held in place at any point using the hook-and-loop fastener, since all areas of the textile cover provide a suitable counterpart for the fastener. This allows even inexperienced users to attach the cover to the bed frame components without wrinkles.

[0019] It is preferably provided that a bed box is arranged in the bed frame, which consists of a rectangular piece of fabric, wherein the piece of fabric is held in its intended position on the outside by means of a Velcro fastener on the lower edge areas of the frame parts, as well as the headboard and the footboard, adjacent to the standing surface.

[0020] A bed frame made from a single piece of fabric can be folded for storage and transport, resulting in a significantly smaller volume compared to a conventional bed frame made of materials such as wood. For the hook-and-loop fastener, the fabric piece preferably has a sewn-in strip around its perimeter, which is used to attach the fabric piece to a strap or textile cover that is attached to the inside of the headboard, footboard, and frame.

[0021] To make the bed box accessible, a swiveling slatted frame is attached to the bed frame above the bed box.

[0022] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that padding is attached or attachable to the cover.

[0023] The padding can be sewn into the cover or attached to it using Velcro. If the padding is not washable, it can be removed from the cover for cleaning.

[0024] It is also preferably intended that the profile rails and the clamping rails or strips are made of plastic, so that simple and cost-effective manufacturing is possible.

[0025] An embodiment of a kit according to the invention is shown in the figures and explained in more detail below.

[0026] It shows: Fig. 1 a head section of a kit in oblique view, without reference; Fig. 2 a side frame section in view, without reference; Fig. 3 a foot section in oblique view, without reference.

[0027] The figures show some components of a kit for assembling a bed frame, comprising two identical side frame parts 1, one of which is in Figure 2shown is a foot section 2, which is in Figure 3 shown, as well as a headboard 3, which is in Figure 1 As shown. These parts consist primarily of wood or similar materials. During assembly, the side frame parts 1 are arranged parallel to each other and connected at their first ends 4 to the foot section 2 and at their second ends 5 to the head section 3. Before the frame parts 1 are connected to the head section 3, a first part of a cover is stretched over the head section 3, and a second part of the cover is stretched over the frame parts 1 and foot section 2, which are mounted on the foot section 2. The frame parts are joined at the four corners, preferably by screwing them together.

[0028] The cover is an integral part of the kit and can be customized according to customer specifications and added to the kit. The cover is not shown in the figures. It can be detachably attached to the frame parts 1, as well as to the headboard 3 and the footboard 2. For the headboard 3, the first part of the cover is designed as a slipcover, which has a first clamping strip, preferably sewn onto one edge. The slipcover is pulled or slipped over the headboard 3 from above and secured to the headboard 3 with the clamping strip at its first edge.In its intended mounting position, the headboard 3 has a first profile rail 6 facing the support surface and open towards the floor-side support level of the bed frame, into which the first edge area of ​​the cover is inserted from below with the first clamping strip and held clamped, so that the cover can be stretched over the headboard 3 without creases and fixed to an edge 7 of the headboard 3.

[0029] The support surface is understood to be the area formed between the frame parts 1, the foot section 2 and the head section 3, in which a slatted frame or a mattress is arranged for a person to lie on.

[0030] For further fixation, hook-and-loop fasteners, preferably hook-and-loop strips, are sewn onto the second edge area of ​​the cover. These fasteners are attached to corresponding counterparts on the lower edge 7 of the head section 3. Alternatively, for fastening, the second edge area can be folded over one side of the head section 3 facing the standing surface and attached either underneath on this side or on the inside, on one side facing the contact surface.

[0031] The second part of the cover, intended for the frame parts 1 and the foot part 2, is a preferably one-piece material strip covering these parts. This strip has further clamping strips at a first mounting edge, each of which can be inserted into a further profile rail 9 of the respective frame part 1 and foot part 2, open towards the standing surface. A hook-and-loop fastener is preferably sewn onto a second mounting edge, which engages with a corresponding counterpart attached to the foot part 2 or frame parts 1.

[0032] In the intended installation position, the first mounting edge is preferably attached to the inside of frame parts 1 and the foot section 2 in such a way that it is no longer visible after a slatted frame and a mattress have been inserted. The second mounting edge is also preferably attached to the inside or underside of the foot section 2 or the frame parts 1, so that it too is no longer visible.

[0033] "Inside" refers to a side or surface facing the bearing surface, while "underside" refers to a side or surface facing the base.

[0034] The process for attaching the cover to the headboard 3 is similar to that used for attaching the material strip to frame parts 1 and footboard 2. The material strip is inserted into the profile rails 9 of frame parts 1 and footboard 2, respectively, using the clamping strips that are preferably sewn onto the first mounting edge. These strips are then held securely in place. The material strip is then pulled smoothly over the corresponding part (frame part 1 / footboard 2), stretched taut, and secured on the underside, either on a side facing the standing surface or on the inside, on a side facing the support surface, using hook-and-loop fasteners.

[0035] Such a cover can be easily replaced at any time for cleaning purposes or in case of damage by releasing the Velcro fasteners and removing the clamping strips from the first profile rail 6 or the second profile rail 9. Furthermore, this kit offers a significant advantage in terms of storage, as it eliminates the need to keep a large number of bed frames covered in various colors and / or materials on hand. Instead, it suffices to store only a certain number of bed frame components (headboard 3, footboard 2, and frame parts 1), along with a variety of covers in different materials and / or colors and / or padding, which can be added to the kit according to customer requirements.A further advantage arises from the fact that the frame parts 1, as well as the head section 3 and foot section 2 of the kit are universally interchangeable with those of other kits of this type, so that a particularly sustainable system can be provided.

[0036] The first profile rail 6 and the second profile rails 9 are attached to the headboard 3 and the footboard and / or the frame parts in such a way that they are arranged completely in a recess 10 open towards the contact surface of the bed frame, so that they are recessed behind the surface of the headboard 3 and / or the footboard 2 and / or the frame parts 1 and no components of the profile rails 6, 9 protrude above these surfaces that could interfere when inserting a slatted frame and a mattress and / or when subsequently covering the mattress.

[0037] The headboard 3 preferably forms, in the intended assembly position, a decorative wall erected at a right angle to the support surface of the bed frame and projecting from the bed frame at the head end, with this wall simultaneously serving to position the bed frame on the support level. The in Figure 1 The headboard shown (3) already has basic padding, although additional padding can be incorporated into the cover to customize it. Strips sewn into the cover can be inserted or clipped into the grooves marked with the cover symbol 13 to create a recessed area and thus further enhance the visual design.

[0038] Preferably, the frame parts 1, the footboard 2, and the headboard 3 are covered with a textile cover that has corresponding hook-and-loop fasteners attached to the cover. The textile cover is then pre-assembled on the frame parts 1, the footboard 2, and the headboard 3. After the parts are covered with the desired cover, the textile cover is largely concealed by the cover itself, and in any case, no longer visible when the bed frame is in use. This textile cover is made, for example, of velour. The hook-and-loop fasteners of the cover adhere particularly well to this material. A significant advantage of completely covering the parts with the textile cover is that the cover can be held in place at any point on the frame parts 1, the headboard 3, or the footboard 2 using hook-and-loop fasteners, since all areas are covered with the textile and this provides a suitable counterpart for the hook-and-loop fastener.This allows even inexperienced users to attach the cover to the bed frame components without creases. Furthermore, it is possible to integrate a storage compartment in the form of a piece of fabric into the bed frame. For this purpose, hook-and-loop fasteners are preferably sewn onto the edges of a rectangular piece of fabric, allowing the fabric to be attached to the lower edge areas 12 of the frame components 1, as well as the headboard 3 and footboard 2, adjacent to the standing surface. The fabric piece can be folded for storage and transport, resulting in a significantly smaller volume compared to conventional storage compartments, for example, those made of wood.

[0039] The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown, but is variable in many ways within the scope of the disclosure.

[0040] All individual and combination features disclosed in the description and / or drawing are considered essential to the invention.
