SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0069] FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;

[0070] FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;

[0071] FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and

[0072] FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

[0073] In the figures of the drawings the same reference numerals designate the same or functionally identical elements, members, components, or method steps, unless specified to the contrary.

[0074] FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] The furniture device 100 for a piece of furniture comprises a frame means 110, a frame springing means 120, a support means 130, and a support springing means 140.

[0076] The support means 130 is configured to be coupled with the frame means 110.

[0077] The frame springing means 120 is configured to provide a first spring effect between the frame means 110 and the support means 130.

[0078] The support springing means 140 is configured to provide a second spring effect acting upon the support means 130.

[0079] FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] FIG. 2 shows how the springs are fastened to the bottom plate of the frame:

[0081] A warp knitted fabric, or fiber straps, for example, comprising elastic synthetic fibers—known as Mygroflex—which are fastened to the top of the bottom plate of the frame and fastened to the bottom of the floating bottom springing segment.

[0082] These spring straps have a high carrying capacity and can have different spring strengths. The part of the strap not fixed by the fixation spreads out depending on the load and then returns to its original shape. Depending on the material, a spring stroke of 6-8 cm can be represented.

[0083] FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] FIG. 3 shows how the springs are fastened to the sidewall of the frame:

[0085] Here, the springing is fastened to the sidewall of the frame and also to the bottom of the floating bottom springing segment. The springing offers the advantage that the springs are not subjected to friction and thereby the spring travel can be even longer (up to 12 cm in the sprung base).

[0086] Furthermore, the overall area of the sprung base increases in the width of lie down area (comfort advantage). In this implementation, coil springs or gas pressure springs can be used in addition to the straps. Perhaps your engineers will recognize even further spring possibilities.

[0087] Mounting a rail at the frame and at the floating bottom plate ensures smooth sliding and is well suited for preventing vibrations. Furthermore, this rail can be provided with a stopper for causing a maximum elongation of the springs, in most cases approx. 7 cm are advantageous.

[0088] FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of a furniture device for a piece of furniture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] FIG. 4 shows how the bottom springing is mounted. In the case of spring straps, two should be used on each side for optimum fastening.

[0090] Likewise, FIG. 4 illustrates rails which allow for optimum sliding of the bottom springing.

[0091] FIG. 4 shows the support means 130 which is divisible into a plurality—3 in the present case—support segments 130-1, 130-2, . . . , 130-n.

[0092] FIG. 4 shows the frame springing means 120 which comprises a plurality of frame segment springing systems 120-1, 120-2, . . . , 120-n.

[0093] FIG. 4 shows the support springing means 140 which is divisible into a plurality of support springing segments 140-1, 140-2, . . . , 140-n.

[0094] Further in FIG. 4 a middle guiding strap is illustrated which, as in the case of slatted frames, is used to keep the slats in the guide. The middle guiding strap can provide additional stability and also have a spring effect.

[0095] When using other springs (gas pressure of coil springs), it is also possible that two rails serve for guiding purposes and only one spring per side suffices.

[0096] Although the present invention has been described by means of preferred exemplary embodiments, the invention is not limited thereto but can be modified in various ways. In particular, the present invention can be altered or modified in various way without deviating from the essence of the invention.

[0097] In addition, it should be noted that “comprising” and “including” does not exclude any other elements or steps and that “one” does not exclude a plurality.

[0098] In addition, it should be noted that features or steps that have been described with reference to one of the above exemplary embodiments, can also be used in combination with other features or steps of other above-described exemplary embodiments. Reference numerals in the claims are not to be regarded as limiting.
