Slatted Bed Frame Shoulder-Zone Suspension for Pressure Relief

The patent applies local quality by creating a shoulder zone with different properties than the rest of the bed frame. Specifically, slats are removed in the shoulder region (creating a localized area with different structural characteristics) and an elastic insertion element is added only in this zone. This allows the shoulder area to have enhanced adaptability and pressure relief while the rest of the bed frame maintains its structural stability.

The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a hanging insert with an elastic insertion element as a mediating structure between the upper and lower slat rows. This intermediary component provides both pressure relief (by creating space and allowing sinking) and stabilization support (through the elastic elements that provide dynamic support). The hanging insert acts as a bridge that combines the benefits of slat removal with the benefits of structural support.

The patent solves this contradiction by operating in another dimension - instead of modifying the lower slat row directly, it modifies the upper slat row and introduces a hanging insert that creates vertical space. By removing slats from the upper row and suspending an elastic insertion element, the system allows the shoulder to sink downward into the created space, achieving adequate sinking depth without compromising the lower slat structure that provides bearing pressure reduction.

The patent applies the dynamics principle by using elastic insertion elements instead of rigid ones. These elastic elements can dynamically adjust to body movements during sleep, providing continuous adaptation while maintaining structural support. The elasticity allows the insertion element to deform and recover, offering both strength and dynamic responsiveness to the sleeper's movements throughout the night.
