[0028] In more detail, there are a large number of possibilities of designing and further developing the bedstead according to the invention. To this end, reference is made to the description below of example embodiments in conjunction with the drawing, in which:

[0032] FIG. 4 shows a spatial representation of an alternative embodiment of the unfolded bedstead.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] FIG. 1 schematically shows the structure of a bedstead according to the invention in the unfolded state.

[0034] A cuboid base body 1 is located in the middle of the bed. Four frame elements 2 are fastened on the upper side 11 on the long sides 10 thereof. The connection is realized via joints 4 so that the frame elements 2 can be pivoted. In the folded state, the frame elements 2 are positioned directly on the long sides of the base body 1.

[0035] The four frame elements 2 form twice two pairs. On the one hand, these are the two pairs which are each connected to the same long side 10 of the base body 1 and thus form the head or foot side of the bed. In the unfolded state, these frame elements 2 are arranged substantially parallel to each other. On the other hand, these are the two pairs the members of which are each aligned one behind the other and thus form the long sides of the bed. These frame elements 2 are each connected to the same narrow side of the base body 1.

[0036] The frame elements 2 are here designed in a rod shape and are for example variable in length. They have a fastened front side 20 and a free front side 21. The fastened front side 20 is respectively attached to the base body 1 via a joint 4, so that the respective frame element 2 is freely movable with respect to the base body 1.

[0037] In the illustrated embodiment, the free front sides 21 are each connected to a leg element 5 via a joint 52. In an alternative embodimentnot illustratedat least one leg element 5 is rigidly connected to the associated free front side 21. The free front side 21 thus rests on this leg element 5. For a good rest on the floor, the leg elements 5 in the illustrated embodiment each have a foot element 51 at the end 50 which faces away from the free front side 21. The leg elements 5 are here also designed in a rod shape and also allow a change in length and thus a change in height with respect to the position of the respective free front side 21. The variability in length is realized, for example, by a rod-in-rod arrangement with an adjustable fixing device.

[0038] This overall results in an H-shape from the base body 1 and the four frame elements 2, which are respectively open at the head or foot end.

[0039] Support elements 3 which here have the shape of a board are located between the frame elements 2. For reasons of clarity, only one support element 3 is indicated here. The support elements 3 connect those frame elements 2 indirectly with each other, which are respectively connected to the same long side 10 of the base body 1 and which are here arranged parallel to each other. The support elements 3 are arranged one behind the other along the longitudinal axis of the unfolded bed.

[0040] The dimensioning of the support elements 3 is preferably such that they have enough space in the interior space 12 enclosed by the base body 1. In the folded state of the bedstead, this thus results in that the support elements 3 are inserted into the base body 1, while the frame elements 2 and the leg elements 5 rest close to the base body 1. Therefore, little space is required.

[0041] FIG. 2 shows a variant of the fixation of the support elements 3 with respect to the frame elements 2.

[0042] The support element 3 partially shown here has a recess 30, and the frame element 2 has a spike 22 which projects upwards here. In the assembled stateoutlined herethe spike 22 is located in the recess 30 of the support element 3 and thus fixes it against a displacement.

[0043] FIG. 3 shows how a support element 3 having a height-reduced side area 31 is guided into an inwardly open receiving space 23 which is enclosed by the frame element 2. This simplifies the insertion of the support element 3 between the pair of frame elements 2only partially shown here. Furthermore, a leg element 5 can be seen the lower end 50 of which opens into a foot element 51.

[0044] FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the bedstead.

[0045] Four frame elements 2 are visible, which are each connected to the base body 1 via a joint 4 and can be moved separately from each other. Each frame element 2 rests on a leg element 5 via its free front side 21. In the embodiment shown, the four leg elements 5 are each reversibly connected to the frame elements 2 and can thus be removed again.

[0046] A crossbar 6 is located between one respective pair of frame elements 2 and is mounted in a rolling manner between the two frame elements 2. For the illustrated unfolded state, the crossbeam 6 is respectively pushed forward to form the reversible closure. In the folded state, the crossbeam 6 is located so close to the base body 1, for example in a recessed step, that the frame elements 2 can be pivoted back individually towards the base body 1.
