Abstract: In a spindle system with a hollow spindle for a linear actuator, the linear actuator has a telescopic tube system including an outer tube and at least one inner tube arranged coaxially with the outer tube and at least partially surrounded by the outer tube. A bearing is arranged to transmit axial forces between the hollow spindle and the outer tube. The hollow spindle at least partially surrounds an inner shaft of the spindle system and is connected to the inner shaft of the spindle system by one or more tappets of a positive and axially displaceable shaft-hub connection. The hollow spindle has a bearing seat for the bearing and an external thread on an outer side.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a packaging arrangement for storage and transport of electrically adjustable beds of a modular bed system which can be dismantled into individual components, the bed system being configured to form one or more different bed types which are different in terms of width and/or length. The beds are beds of a family of beds, comprise at least an upper leg sector, a lower leg sector, a seat sector and a torso sector, and have a plurality of bed plates for carrying a mattress. The packaging arrangement is suitable for accommodating a quantity of components of a single bed of each bed type of the bed system and the quantity of the components comprises at least the plurality of bed plates, at least one cross member and at least two longitudinal members.

Abstract: A frame element is arranged as a longitudinal element for a longitudinal side of an adjustable bed and has an adjustable legrest sector and at least one further sector. The frame element comprises a frame support with a sliding surface and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the legrest sector. The frame element further comprises an adjustable legrest of the legrest sector, the legrest comprising a upper leg part hingedly connected to the frame support or to a middle part of the at least one further sector, and a lower leg part hingedly connected to the upper leg part. A support element of the lower leg part is designed to come into contact with the sliding surface. The adjustment mechanism is arranged to influence an angle between the upper leg part and a main orientation of the frame support, wherein the angle of the upper leg part and an inclination of the lower leg part with respect to the main orientation of the frame support depend on each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening system for connecting two frame elements of a bed frame, in particular for an adjustable bed, wherein the two frame elements each comprise a hollow profile, the fastening system comprising: a mounting element, which is firmly attachable to an end of the first frame element, and a connector part, which is insertable into the hollow profile at an end of the second frame element and firmly connectable to second frame element, wherein the mounting element comprises at least one mounting hole, the connector part comprises at least one mounting spigot corresponding to the at least one mounting hole, which is designed to be plugged into the at least one mounting hole, the connector part comprises at least one mounting mechanism for a detachable, firm connection of the mounting element and the connector part.

Abstract: A massage system for a bed having a mattress comprises a massage controller adapted to control at least one massage actuator acting on the mattress. The massage controller is adapted, in a calibration mode of operation, to drive the at least one massage actuator with a test signal for excitation of the mattress, to receive measured values which represent a response of the mattress to the excitation with the test signal, and to determine, on the basis of the measured values and the test signal, a response characteristic represented by an oscillation response of the massage actuator and the mattress. In addition, the massage controller is adapted to control, in a massage mode of operation, the at least one massage actuator based on an adjustable massage parameter and the oscillation response.

Abstract: A support panel (16) is provided comprising a base member (11), the base member (11) being the mechanically stabilizing component of the support panel (11), at least one mechanical coupler (18) on the base member (11), an identifier which can electronically be read out through the at least one second electrical connector (28), at least one second electrical connector (28) located on the base member (11), and at least one functional module (34) selected from a sensor, an actuator, a control unit, an electrical link, and a power supply, wherein the at least one mechanical coupler (18) and the at least one second electrical connector (28) are designed for reversible mechanical and electrical connection to a bed frame assembly (30), and wherein a top surface (17) of the support panel (16), opposite to the bottom surface (15), is designed to be applied with a mattress (20).

Abstract: In a mattress massage system, at least one massage actuator is provided for the generation of a massaging force that acts on a mattress in a direction perpendicular to the reclining area of the mattress. The system is configured to generate the massaging force with a time-variant intensity, which comprises a fundamental frequency and at least one superposition frequency, which is higher than the fundamental frequency.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator assembly for an adjustable seating or lying furniture item, in particular for an adjustable bed or an adjustable comfortable armchair, comprising a spindle that can be activated by means of a drive for causing axial rotation, which is mounted in a stationary manner. The actuator assembly also comprises a sliding block mechanically coupled with the spindle, the sliding block can be moved parallel in relation to a longitudinal axis of the spindle when said spindle is activated. The actuator assembly also comprises a coupling element mounted in a manner allowing it to be moved in relation to the spindle with a first slotted guide, in which the sliding block is at least partially guided in such a way that the coupling element is shifted when the spindle is activated, in order to move a segment of the adjustable seating or lying furniture item that can be mechanically coupled with the coupling element.

Abstract: An arrangement (AO) for adjusting a bed, particularly a head section and foot section of the bed, features a stationary frame segment (OR) and a movable frame segment (BR) with a first section (AS1), a second section (AS2) and a third section (AS3). The three sections (AS1, AS2, AS3) are pivotably connected to one another and the first section (AS1) is supported such that it can be slid relative to the stationary frame segment (OR) in a horizontal plane (HE). The arrangement (AO) features a first linear actuator (LA1) and a second linear actuator (LA2) that, on the one hand, are fixed on the first section (AS1) in an essentially rigid fashion in a common first hinge point (GP1) and, on the other hand, are respectively supported on the stationary frame segment (OR) in a horizontally slidable fashion such that the effective directions of both linear actuators (LA1, LA2) essentially extend in another common horizontal plane, particularly parallel to one another.
