Abstract: A slatted base for furniture for lying on has two longitudinally running, essentially parallel longitudinal supports (50) with mutually facing inner sides (32). The slatted base also has a plurality of spaced-apart slats (10, 71, 72) which are arranged transversely to the longitudinal supports (50) and together form a bearing surface for a mattress. The slats (10, 71, 72) are connected to the longitudinal supports (50) by means of [sic] essentially two-legged leaf-spring elements (20, 81, 82), in each case one leg (22) of a leaf-spring element (20) being fitted on one of the slats (10) and the other leg (23) of said leaf-spring element (20) being fitted on the inner side (32) of one of the longitudinal supports (50). The slatted base, on the one hand, is of low overall height and is thus suitable for positioning in a framework of a piece of furniture for lying on.

Abstract: A modular interior fittings system includes several different functional units such as carcasses, work surfaces, separating wall boards, lighting fixtures, presentation racks, etc. and at least one uniform statically stable structural element. The structural element is designed as an independent, vertical, closed rectangular frame. For stabilization purposes in its vertical position, a chassis that stretches vertically to the frame plane is mounted on the bottom of the frame and/or a corner connection is installed to a second neighboring frame. The functional units are installed in such a way that they reach through the plane created by the frame. The frame has vertical lengthwise sleepers with grooves or ribs to fasten the functional units at a selected height. To stow cables, conduits or grooves are provided for in the frame. Preferably the corner connections have an angle grid so that neighboring frames can be connected with each other at selected angle positions, which however are specified in size.

Abstract: The invention concerns a modular interior furnishing system comprising a plurality of different functional units, such as carcasses, work-surfaces, partition panels, lighting members, display shelves, etc., and at least one integral statically portative construction element. The construction element takes the form of a free-standing vertical closed rectangular frame. A stand extending perpendicular to the frame plane on the underside of the frame and/or a corner connection to a second adjacent frame is used for stabilizing the construction element in the vertical position. The functional units are installed such that they engage through the plane formed by the frame. The frame comprises vertical longitudinal struts with grooves or ribs for securing the functional units at the selected height. Ducts and grooves are provided in the frame for stowing cables.
