Abstract: Cushioned support system for an orthopaedic bedspring (1) comprising a plurality of slats (2) made of material which is rigid or has a controlled flexibility and designed to be fixed to an orthopaedic bed, characterized in that it comprises in combination: a box-shaped body (5) which has a substantially U-shaped cross-section open at the top and extending along the whole length of said bedspring (1) to the inner side of which it is intended to be longitudinally fixed; a tubular reservoir (6) which is sealed at its opposite ends and at least partially filled with a fluid of predefined density and at a predefined pressure, said tubular reservoir (6) being positioned inside said box-shaped body (5) and extending substantially along the whole length of said body; a profiled member (7) made of elastically deformable plastic material and movably guided inside said box-shaped body (5) towards and away from the bottom wall (5a) thereof, said profiled member (7) resting on said tubular reservoir (6) and extending s

Abstract: A bearing device for sliding panels particularly for furniture is described which comprises: two sections (4) fixed at one end thereof at the upper cross-bar and at the other end thereof at the lower cross-bar of the piece of furniture respectively, by hinge means; a telescopic sliding guide (5) fixed to each of the sections (4) on the side where the panel (2) is located, the panel being slidably fixed to the telescopic guide (5). Means (11,13) for stopping the rotations of the sections (4) are placed substantially at the end of the sections which is opposite to the hinge means. The device also comprises elastic return means (22) connected at one end to a fixed portion (20) of the piece of furniture and, at the other end, to a pin (24) set in the sections (4). The elastic means are adapted to place and retain the panels (2) in their closed and open positions respectively.
