  • Patent number: 6826791
    Abstract: A spring element for supporting a seat cushion or mattress includes a base body adapted to be attached to a foundation member. The base body includes a plurality of spring arms. Attached to the base body is a support body which includes at least two support arms. The support body is rotatable relative to the base body about an axis to displace the support arms between a supporting position to limit the deflection of the spring arms, and a non-supporting position to exert no influence on the spring arms. Therefore, the flexibility of the spring element can be adjusted by rotation of the support body.

  • Publication number: 20040003467
    Abstract: A spring-support lath for supporting upholstery of furniture includes a lath body defining a longitudinal direction and having a pair of longitudinally extending U-profiles. Each U-profile is of U-shaped cross-section open in a downward direction and spaced apart in a lateral direction. The U-profiles are interconnected at their longitudinally spaced ends by end pieces and by fixed links situated intermediate the end pieces. The fixed links are spaced apart longitudinally, and at least some of the fixed links include a fastener structure such as a T-shaped member or an oblong hole for connecting to spring elements.

  • Patent number: 6477727
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing element having a base plate fitted on a support, for a seat or bed system, with a bearing plate to hold upholstery. The invention seeks to produce a bearing element whose range of spring is approximately equal to the total height, and which is easy to produce. To this end, at least two spring elements serving as bearing arms (12, 22) are fitted between the base plate (11, 21) and the bearing plate (15, 25). These spring elements, configured like leaf springs, are directed outwards from the base plate (11, 21). Their outer ends join the hearing plate (15, 25). In another version of the invention, a spring body (35, 35′) is fitted between the base and bearing plate. The spring body head (35.2) and foot (35.1), like the bearing plate and base plate, have corresponding locking parts, so that the bearing plate can also be removably placed on the spring body (15, 15′) and on the base plate (21).
