[0001] The present invention relates to a bed leg for placing a bed base on a floor. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, beds have been designed to have bed legs attached to a base and placed on the floor in order to prevent damage to the floor and to provide anti-slip properties.

[0003] There are known bed legs that can be fitted with an adapter at the bottom end of the bed leg that is attached to the base, in order to improve usability for users and caregivers (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] The height of the bed can be increased by attaching an adapter to the bed leg, and can be decreased by removing the adapter from the bed leg, so that the height of the bed can be changed depending on whether or not the adapter is used. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3217939 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, with the conventional bed legs described above, when the height of the bed is lowered, it is necessary to remove the adapter from the bed legs and store it in another location.

[0007] Therefore, if you want to raise the height of the bed, you have to find the adapter from another location, and there is also the risk of losing the adapter, making it difficult to quickly change the height of the bed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, a bed leg for placing a bed base on the floor is provided with a first leg body attached to the bed base and a second leg body integrally connected to the first leg body, and the first leg body and the second leg body can be connected at a plurality of connection positions, and the height of the bed can be changed by changing the connection positions of the first leg body and the second leg body, and the first leg body and the second leg body can be connected by moving the second leg body in the horizontal direction. A connection holding means is provided to hold the first leg and the second leg in a connected state at any connection position between the first leg and the second leg, and the connection state can be released by operating the connection holding means upward. I decided to do it.

[0010] Also, Claim 2 In the present invention, A bed leg for placing a bed base on the floor includes a first leg attached to the bed base and a second leg integrally connected to the first leg, the first leg and the second leg can be connected at a plurality of connection positions, the height of the bed can be changed by changing the connection positions of the first leg and the second leg, and the first leg and the second leg can be connected by moving the second leg horizontally. A connecting section for connecting to the first leg is formed horizontally at the top of the second leg, and a storage section for storing the first leg through an opening by moving the second leg horizontally is formed inside the second leg, and the height of the bed is increased by connecting the first leg at the top of the second leg, and the height of the bed is decreased by connecting the first leg inside the second leg. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] The present invention provides the following effects.

[0012] In other words, in the present invention, the bed legs for placing the bed base on the floor are provided with a first leg body that is attached to the bed base and a second leg body that is connected integrally to the first leg body, and the first leg body and the second leg body can be connected at multiple connection positions, and the height of the bed can be changed by the connection position of the first leg body and the second leg body.Therefore, the bed legs (first leg body and second leg body) are always connected integrally regardless of the height of the bed, so there is no need for storage trouble or risk of loss, and the height of the bed can be changed quickly.

[0013] In particular, if a connection holding means is provided that maintains the connection state between the first leg body and the second leg body at any connection position between the first leg body and the second leg body, it is possible to prevent the first leg body and the second leg body from accidentally separating.

[0014] Furthermore, if the first leg body is connected to the top of the second leg body to increase the height of the bed, and the first leg body is connected inside the second leg body to decrease the height of the bed, the appearance of the bed leg body can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, a specific configuration of a bed leg according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, bed 1 has a receiving platform 3 attached to the top of base 2, and boards 4 and 5 attached to the front and rear ends of base 2. Base 2 has a base frame 8 attached to the bottom of bed frame 6, to which receiving platform 3 is attached, via support posts 7. Note that base 2 may have a lifting function for raising and lowering receiving platform 3.

[0018] Resin bed legs 9 are attached to the ends of the base frame 8 to prevent damage to the floor and to provide anti-slip properties.

[0019] The bed leg 9 is made up of a first leg 10 attached to the base 2 (base frame 8) of the bed 1, and a second leg 11 connected integrally with the first leg 10.

[0020] 2 and 3, the first leg 10 has a hollow mounting section 13 formed inside a box-shaped main body 12, and an opening 14 communicating with the mounting section 13 formed at the rear end of the main body 12. This allows the first leg 10 to be mounted (fixed) to the mounting section 13 by inserting the end of the base frame 8 through the opening 14.

[0021] The first leg 10 has a pair of left and right connecting grooves 15, 15 extending horizontally in the front-to-rear direction at the bottom of the main body 12. A guide portion 16 is formed at the front end of each connecting groove 15, and the width of the guide portion 16 gradually increases toward the front end opening from the vertical width of the connecting groove 15. A terminal end portion 17 that closes the connecting groove 15 is formed at the rear end of each connecting groove 15.

[0022] Furthermore, the first leg 10 is provided with a tongue-shaped locking piece 18 whose tip extends gently downward and rearward in the center of the lower rear part of the main body 12 (the lower part of the mounting part 13 and above the connecting grooves 15, 15). A curved part 19 with a reduced thickness is formed at the base end of the locking piece 18, allowing the locking piece 18 to bend up and down at the base end. In addition, a downwardly convex locking claw 20 is formed at the middle lower part of the locking piece 18.

[0023] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second leg 11 has an upper connecting portion 22 formed on the top of the box-shaped main body 21 for connecting to the first leg 10, and a lower connecting portion 23 formed on the inside of the main body 21 for connecting to the first leg 10.

[0024] The upper connecting portion 22 has a pair of left and right connecting pieces 24, 24 extending horizontally in the front-to-rear direction on the left and right sides of the upper end of the main body 21. The front end of each connecting piece 24 has a terminal end 25 that is bent vertically downward. The rear end of each connecting piece 24 has a guide portion 26 that gradually narrows rearward from the left-to-right width of each connecting piece 24.

[0025] The upper connecting portion 22 also has a locking recess 27 formed at the center of the rear of the upper end surface of the main body 21, into which the locking claw 20 of the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 can be engaged.

[0026] The lower connecting portion 23 forms a hollow storage portion 28 inside the main body 21 that can completely accommodate the entire first leg 10, and also forms an opening 29 at the rear end of the main body 21 that communicates with the storage portion 28.

[0027] The lower connecting portion 23 also has a locking recess 30 formed in the center of the rear part of the lower surface of the accommodation portion 28, into which the locking claw 20 of the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 can be engaged.

[0028] The bed leg 9 is configured as described above, and as shown in FIG. 6(a), when the first leg 10 is accommodated in the accommodation section 28 of the second leg 11, the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are connected by the lower connecting section 23, allowing the height of the bed 1 to be lowered. At this time, the locking claw 20 of the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 is locked in the locking recess 30 of the lower connecting section 23, so that the locking claw 20 can function as a connection holding means that maintains the connection state between the first leg 10 and the lower connecting section 23 of the second leg 11. Note that when the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 is operated upward, the locking claw 20 is released from the locking recess 30, allowing the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 to be separated.

[0029] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 6(b), when the connecting pieces 24, 24 of the second leg 11 are inserted into the connecting grooves 15, 15 of the first leg 10, the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are connected by the upper connecting portion 22, and the height of the bed 1 can be increased. At this time, the first leg 10 can be smoothly connected to the second leg 11 by the guide portion 16 formed by gradually widening the front end of the connecting grooves 15, 15 of the first leg 10 and the guide portion 26 formed by gradually narrowing the rear end of the connecting piece 24 of the second leg 11. In addition, since the locking claw 20 of the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 is locked in the locking recess 27 of the upper connecting portion 22, it can function as a connection holding means that maintains the connected state of the first leg 10 and the upper connecting portion 22 of the second leg 11. When the locking piece 18 of the first leg 10 is operated upward, the locking claw 20 and the locking recess 27 are released, and the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 can be separated.

[0030] In this way, in bed 1, the first leg body 10 and the second leg body 11 can be easily separated and connected by slightly lifting bed 1 to raise the base frame 8 off the floor and moving the second leg body 11 in an approximately horizontal direction, and the height of bed 1 can be changed by changing the connection position (lower connection part 23 or upper connection part 22) between the first leg body 10 and the second leg body 11, and at any height, the first leg body 10 and the second leg body 11 are connected together.

[0031] In the above-mentioned bed leg 9, the first leg 10 is connected inside the second leg 11 to lower the height of the bed 1, while the first leg 10 is connected at the top of the second leg 11 to raise the height of the bed 1, but this is not limited to this and it is sufficient if the height of the bed 1 can be changed by changing the connection position between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11. For example, as shown in Figure 7(a), the height of bed 1 may be lowered by connecting second leg body 32 to the front part of first leg body 31, while as shown in Figure 7(b), the height of bed 1 may be increased by connecting second leg body 32 to the lower part of first leg body 31.Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7(c), the height of bed 1 may be lowered by connecting second leg body 34 perpendicular to first leg body 33 to the inner part of first leg body 33 formed in a gate shape, while as shown in Figure 7(d), the height of bed 1 may be increased by connecting second leg body 34 parallel to first leg body 33 to the lower part of first leg body 33.

[0032] Furthermore, while the bed leg 9 described above allows the height of the bed 1 to be adjusted in two steps, up and down, the present invention is not limited to this and the height of the bed 1 may also be adjusted in three or more steps. For example, as shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b), four connecting grooves 36-39 may be formed vertically and equidistantly on the left and right sides of the first leg 35, while four connecting pieces 41-44 may be formed vertically and equidistantly on the inside left and right sides of the second leg 40, as shown in Figures 8(c) and 8(d), and the height of the bed 1 may be adjusted vertically in three steps depending on the connecting positions of the first leg 35 and the second leg 40, as shown in Figures 8(e), 8(f), and 8(g).

[0033] As described above, the bed leg 9 includes a first leg 10 attached to the base 2 of the bed 1 and a second leg 11 integrally connected to the first leg 10, and is configured so that the height of the bed 1 can be changed by changing the connection position between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11.

[0034] Therefore, in the bed leg body 9 configured as described above, the bed leg body 9 (first leg body 10 and second leg body 11) are always connected together regardless of the height of the bed 1, eliminating the hassle of storage and the risk of loss, and allowing the height of the bed 1 to be changed quickly.

[0035] In addition, the bed leg 9 is configured to have a connection holding means for holding the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 in a connected state at any connection position between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11.

[0036] Therefore, in the bed leg 9 having the above-described configuration, the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 can be prevented from being accidentally separated.

[0037] In addition, the bed leg 9 is configured so that the first leg 10 is connected to the upper part of the second leg 11 to increase the height of the bed 1, and the first leg 10 is connected inside the second leg 11 to decrease the height of the bed 1.

[0038] Therefore, the bed leg 9 having the above-described configuration can have a good appearance. [Explanation of symbols]
