20100064433 | THERAPEUTIC REST BED - Therapeutic rest bed, which comprises a bed base ( | 03-18-2010 |
20120167300 | DYNAMIC MATTRESS BASE - A base for bed mattress having a plurality of transverse slats, with each slat end attached to the frame of the base and pivotally connected to first end of a rod at the centre of each slat is provided. The rod is attached at its second end to a dynamic pulley. The dynamic pulleys are connected by a common cord or flexible attachment running over stationary pulleys mounted between the slats to a central beam attached to the frame of the base. Improved distribution of human body support can thus be achieved independent of the contour and weight of the body at any sleeping position. Springiness of the base can be modified by changing the elasticity of the flexible attachment. The dynamic support base reduces the need for thickness of the mattress and of the bed pillow. | 07-05-2012 |

The telescoping slat assembly includes a set of tubular members that telescopically receive a respective set of elongated members to form telescoping slats. The tubular members have one end secured to one of the side rails and extend away therefrom in parallel, spaced apart relationship. The elongated members have one end secured to the other one of the side rails and extend away therefrom in parallel, spaced-apart relationship. The side rails are slidably secured to the headboard to facilitate movement of the frame between the first and second rectangular sizes. | 05-09-2013 |
20150089739 | BUNK BED SLAT COVER - A cover for hiding slats of an upper bunk is disclosed.

In one example, the rails join at corners to form the frame of the foundation and the rails may include at least a partial overlap between the rail the corners. The foundations and kits further include a plurality of slats. The slats may be of varying lengths. The invention may further include a method of assembling a foundation kit. | 05-26-2016 |
20160374478 | Assemblable Mattress Support Whose Components Fit Inside The Headboard - An assemblable mattress support can be shipped with all of its components compactly packed into the headboard. The mattress support includes a foldable longitudinal bar, a lateral bar, side panels, wooden slats, block legs and a footboard, all of which fit inside a compartment in the headboard. In an assembled state of the mattress support, a first connector at one end of the longitudinal bar attaches to a third connector on the outside of the headboard. A second connector at the other end of the longitudinal bar attaches to a fourth connector on the footboard. The middle of the lateral bar connects to the middle of the longitudinal bar. The block legs are attached to the bottom sides of the headboard and footboard. The slats are attached to one another by fabric ribbons and are placed in parallel over the longitudinal bar and support ledges on the side panels. | 12-29-2016 |

20090126106 | Tripod slat end piece with a highly stabilised range of movement - The invention relates to a suspension device for bed-base slats which is formed by an end-piece which has an upper portion which comprises at least one receptacle to receive the end of a slat, a lower portion which is provided with means for anchoring the said end-piece to a bed frame, and an intermediate portion which comprises suspension members which connect the lower portion to the upper portion. The suspension members comprise at least one longitudinal wall which is able to fold at a substantially longitudinally extending fold line, and at least one transverse wall which is able to fold at a substantially transversely extending fold line. | 05-21-2009 |
20090282613 | Bi-material slat cap - This invention relates to a springer slat suspension device formed by a cap having an upper section which comprises at least one housing for accepting the end of a slat, a lower section provided with means of anchoring the said cap on a springer frame and an intermediate section comprising suspension elements linking the lower section with the upper section, the intermediate section being essentially made of a first material of the flexible type, whereas the lower section is made of a second material of the rigid type. This invention is characterized in that the intermediate section and the lower section are made in one single piece by moulding. | 11-19-2009 |
20090288252 | Device for the suspension of slats for a bed - The invention concerns a bed base slat suspension device comprising at least one gusset forming a housing for accommodating the end of a bed base slat, said device having fixing means for allowing the fixing of the gusset on a bed base frame. The device comprises a plurality of n gussets connected by means forming a connecting band, arranged so as to allow a relative movement of at least certain adjacent gussets from the point of view of the fixing of the device on the bed base frame. | 11-26-2009 |
