Bedrest with modular structure

Abstract

A bed rest with modular structure comprising a perimetrical bearing frame or bed base ( 17 ) and a plurality of elements supporting a body lying down, such as slats ( 12 ), which are connected to a supporting frame ( 11 ), that is positioned and fixed upon the perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ), through fixing means ( 18, 23 ) provided in correspondence of the four angles of the two frames ( 11, 17 ); the bearing frame ( 17 ) and the supporting frame ( 11 ) have the same shape and the same dimensions of length of their respective beams ( 10, 25 ). Furthermore, the assembly of the bed rest is feasible for both bed rests with a fixed structure and bed rests with an articulate structure.

1 . Bed rest with modular structure, said bed rest comprising at least one perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ) and at least one supporting frame ( 11 ), means for supporting a body lying down being connected, directly or by means of an articulated frame ( 14 ), to said supporting frame ( 11 ), characterized in that said supporting frame ( 11 ) is placed upon said perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ). 
     
     
         2 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said supporting frame ( 11 ) is fixed or held in place by any means to said perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ). 
     
     
         3 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said means for supporting a body lying down include a plurality of slats ( 12 ), which are fixed to said supporting frame ( 11 ) or to said articulated frame ( 14 ) by means of flexible slat holders ( 13 ). 
     
     
         4 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said bearing frame ( 17 ) and said supporting frame ( 11 ) comprise respective beams ( 10 ,  25 ), which are joined in correspondence of the angles of the relative frame ( 11 ,  17 ), said beams having substantially at least the same length. 
     
     
         5 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 4 , characterized in that the respective beams ( 10 ,  25 ) of said bearing frame ( 17 ) and of said supporting frame ( 11 ) have substantially the same thickness. 
     
     
         6 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ) comprises respective beams ( 10 ), which are joined in correspondence of the angles, by means of respective shaped angular elements ( 15 ) fixed to said beams ( 10 ) into the inside of said perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ). 
     
     
         7 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 6 , characterized in that supporting legs ( 16 ), which support said perimetrical bearing frame ( 17 ), are fixed to said shaped angular elements ( 15 ). 
     
     
         8 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 6 , characterized in that said bearing frame ( 17 ) and said supporting frame ( 11 ) are fixed together through respective connecting means ( 18 ,  23 ), which are respectively bound to said angular elements ( 15 ) and to angular portions of said supporting frame ( 11 ). 
     
     
         9 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said supporting frame ( 11 ) include respective beams ( 25 ), which are joined together in correspondence of the angles of the supporting frame ( 11 ), through at least one shaped angular element ( 26 ), said angular element ( 26 ) being placed into the inside of said supporting frame ( 11 ). 
     
     
         10 . Bed rest with modular structure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that said articulated frame ( 14 ) is split in predetermined sections, which are movable by the user, at least one of said predetermined of said articulated structure ( 14 ) being connected to said supporting frame ( 11 ) in correspondence of at least one predetermined area.
