Patent number: 8973185Abstract: Support device, which is adjustable by an electric motor, for cushioning of a piece of furniture for sitting and/or lying on has a first support part, and a second support part pivotable about a pivot axis, between which a third support part is provided. Support device has an electric motor drive which has an adjusting element connected in a force-transmitting manner to the second support part by an actuating element for pivoting second support part. Actuating element has a rod-like configuration, by which the adjusting element is guided in a linearly displaceable manner in guide formed on third support part. Actuating element engages with second support part for pivoting the second support part eccentrically relative to pivot axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Bionical Systems AGInventors: Eckhart Dewert, Jörg Henle

Patent number: 8479332Abstract: Support device, adjustable by electric motor, for supporting cushioning of a piece of furniture for sitting or lying on, in particular a bed mattress, has base body with first adjustable support part, in particular pivotable, relative to second support part. Electric motor adjusting device adjusts first support part, and has first and second adjusting unit provided on opposite longitudinal sides of base body. Rotationally supported component of first adjusting unit is connected, rotationally fixed, to similar component of second adjusting unit by a connecting shaft, and axial ends of connecting shaft engage in recesses in rotatably supported components. Connecting shaft is axially movable between a first position in which rotatably supported components are connected rotationally fixedly by connecting shaft, and a second position in which one end of the connecting shaft is released from recess, and connecting shaft is pretensioned in first position by a spring.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Bionical Systems AGInventors: Eckhart Dewert, Jörg Henle

Publication number: 20120060287Abstract: Support device is adjustable by an electric motor, for supporting cushioning of a piece of furniture for sitting and/or lying on, and has a base body with a first support part that is adjustable, in particular pivotable, with respect to a second support part. Support device has an electric motor adjusting device connected with first support part for adjusting it. Adjusting device has a first and a second adjusting unit second adjusting unit which are provided on opposite longitudinal sides of base body. A rotationally supported component of the first adjusting unit is connected in rotationally fixed manner to a similar component of the second adjusting unit via a connecting shaft, and a shared electric motor is associated with the adjusting units. The rotationally supported component in each case is an input-side transmission element of a reduction gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: Bionical Systems AGInventors: Eckhart Dewert, Jörg Henle

Publication number: 20120060289Abstract: Support device, which is adjustable by an electric motor, for cushioning of a piece of furniture for sitting and/or lying on has a base body, a first support section for supporting a person resting on support device, in a head/upper body region, and a second support section for supporting a person, in calf/thigh region. Stationary third support section is provided between the first and second support section. The first support section and/or the second support section have the three support parts which are pivotable in an articulated manner relative to one another and/or relative to the third support section. Electric motor drive is provided for adjusting the support parts. At least one separate actuating element is operatively associated with the individual support parts for pivoting a particular support part, and at least two support parts are pivotable independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: Bionical Systems AGInventors: Eckhart DEWERT, Jörg HENLE
