  • Patent number: 12285098
    Abstract: A collapsible support frame for a hammock (5) comprises a frame body (1) formed from a longitudinal member (2) and three struts at each of the two ends of the longitudinal member (2). Two of the struts serve as foot struts (3) and the third strut serves as a supporting arm (4) with an attachment point (15) for the hammock (5). The three struts at the two ends of the longitudinal member (2) and also the foot struts (3) at the opposite ends of the longitudinal member (2) are connected to one another, in each case, by tension means (12, 20) engaged at the strut ends. The struts can be folded out from an idle position, in which they are folded in against the longitudinal member (2), into a working position in which they are splayed out from the longitudinal member (2), and the attachment point (15) for the hammock (5) on the two supporting arms (4) is provided on one arm of a double-armed pivot lever (13), with the tension means (14) for the two foot struts (3) engaging on the other arm of said pivot lever.

  • Publication number: 20190328116
    Abstract: A collapsible supporting frame for a hammock has a frame body symmetrical to a longitudinal center plane and consisting of straight struts and joint pieces with plug-in receptacles interconnecting the struts. The frame body comprises two joint pieces having plug-in receptacles for three struts each which define a tetrahedron, of which two are foot struts and the third strut, which extends in the plane of symmetry between the two foot struts, is a support arm for the hammock. Between the two joint pieces on the side facing away from the tetrahedron a longitudinal strut engages in aligned plug-in receptacles of the joint pieces, and the struts that form a tetrahedron, and the foot struts of opposite joint pieces are interconnected by traction means engaging at the strut ends.
