Le sommier (2) est composé de trois panneaux identiques qui se superposent lors du rangement et qui peuvent être fixés sur la structure, par le biais de moyens de fixation, lors de la position de couchage. Le matelas (3), d'un seul tenant, se pose sur le sommier (2) en position de couchage ou bien enveloppe les panneaux-sommier (2) lors du rangement. La fermeture de la structure (1) pour le rangement est réalisée par des sangles (4). Des poignées (5), fixées sur la structure (1) au même niveau que les sangles (4), permettent de manipuler le lit lorsqu'il est fermé.A more detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings appearing from 1 to 6. With reference to these drawings, the structure (1) is a set of blades articulated along their length which can be the deck of a rolling shutter in order to be, a horizontal support for the bed base (2) and the mattress (3) in the sleeping position, and a storage envelope for the same bed base (2) and mattress (3) in the vertical position, and comprising locking end caps and of protection at the ends of the blades. The bed base (2) is made up of three identical panels which are superimposed during storage and which can be fixed to the structure, by means of fixing means, during the sleeping position. The mattress (3), in one piece, is placed on the bed base (2) in the sleeping position or else wraps the bed base panels (2) during storage. The structure (1) is closed for storage by straps (4). Handles (5), fixed to the structure (1) at the same level as the straps (4), allow the bed to be manipulated when it is closed.
La réalisation du lit repliable comprend ainsi les différentes parties suivantes :The realization of the folding bed thus includes the following different parts:
- la structure (1) à lames articulées sur leur longueur de type tablier de volet roulant, notamment en aluminium mais pouvant être également en plastique, en bois ou en un autre matériau, comprend des embouts plastiques fixés aux extrémités des lames afin d'éviter le glissement en longueur des lames et d'assurer une protection aux deux extrémités. Les embouts du tablier de volet roulant sont naturellement placés à cheval des extrémités de deux lames contiguës et de façon décalée par rapport aux extrémités opposées. Un système d'embouts équivalents serait utilisé pour une structure (1) ne provenant pas d'un tablier de volet roulant. La structure (1) peut être le support du lit en position horizontale pour le couchage en recevant le sommier (2) et le matelas (3), et peut être l'enveloppe de rangement des mêmes sommier (2) et matelas (3) lors de l'enroulement vertical sur les embouts. La longueur des lames de la structure (1) correspond à la longueur du lit et l'ensemble des lames dans leur largeur correspond à la largeur du lit de façon à obtenir la compacité de l'invention à la manière d'une colonne. Les lames de la structure (1) sont pleines afin d'apporter de la résistance. La structure (1) possède sur la longueur intérieure de trois lames, des moyens de fixation (7) afin de permettre l'adhésion du sommier (2) ; ces moyens de fixation (7) sont séparés d'une égale distance correspondant à la largeur d'un panneau du sommier (2). - le sommier (2) se décompose de préférence en trois panneaux égaux ayant chacun pour longueur, la longueur du lit et pour largeur, le tiers de la largeur du lit. Chaque panneau possède sur le coté une bande longitudinale externe (9) où y est cousu un ruban de fixation (8). En position de couchage, chaque panneau se fixe en vis-à-vis sur une des lames de la structure (1) dotée d'un ruban de fixation (7) par complémentarité de formes. Les trois panneaux forment, pour le couchage, la surface du lit dont les dimensions sont inscrites à l'intérieur de la structure (1). En position de rangement, les panneaux du sommier (2) sont superposés et enroulés dans le matelas (3). Les panneaux du sommier (2) sont dans un matériau compact et souple avec une densité adaptée pour répondre à la qualité de sommier (2). Les panneaux sont préférentiellement recouverts d'une housse de tissu. - le matelas (3), d'un seul tenant, superpose exactement la surface du sommier (2) en longueur et en largeur en position de couchage. Le matelas (3) peut être dans le même matériau que les panneaux du sommier (2) dans une épaisseur inférieure et avec une densité adaptée pour répondre à la qualité de matelas (3). Le matelas (3) est de préférence recouvert d'une housse de tissu et possède des bandes (6) en tissu, notamment trois, cousues sur une de ses faces. Ces bandes (6) maintiennent, pour le rangement, le matelas (3) enroulé autour des panneaux-sommier (2) grâce à des rubans de fixation par complémentarité de formes. Les bandes (6) peuvent éventuellement être solidaires de la face interne de la structure au lieu d'être cousues sur le matelas (3). - les sangles (4) de fermeture, notamment deux, sont fixées sur la face intérieure d'une des lames d'extrémité de la structure (1 ) par rivetage ou par couture, et ce, peφendiculairement et extérieurement à la structure. Les sangles (4) peuvent être des bandes caoutchoutées de tapissier ou bien des bandes en tissu renforcé. Des rubans de fixation par complémentarité de formes sont cousus sur les sangles (4) afin de maintenir fermée la structure (1) lors du rangement. - les poignées (5), notamment en cuir et pouvant être en plastique ou en autre matériau, sont fixées par couture ou par rivetage sur la face externe de la même lame d'extrémité de la structure (1) et respectent le même entraxe que les sangles (4) en les chevauchant. Le nombre de poignées (5) est égal au nombre de sangles (4) de fermeture. Sur les dessins annexés qui illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente en vue isométrique, le lit rangé en position verticale. La structure (1) à lames articulées, notamment en tablier de volet roulant, est maintenue fermée par des sangles (4). La structure (1) enveloppe le matelas (3) qui lui même enveloppe les panneaux-sommier (2). Les poignées (5) sont fixées au niveau des sangles de fermeture (4). Le sommier (2) et le matelas (3) ont exactement la même longueur alors que celle de la structure (1 ) est un peu plus importante.- The structure (1) with blades articulated along their length of the roller shutter type, in particular aluminum but can also be made of plastic, wood or another material, includes plastic end caps fixed to the ends of the blades in order to avoid sliding the blades lengthwise and providing protection at both ends. The end pieces of the roller shutter apron are naturally placed astride the ends of two contiguous blades and offset from the opposite ends. A system of equivalent end caps would be used for a structure (1) not coming from a roller shutter curtain. The structure (1) can be the support of the bed in a horizontal position for sleeping by receiving the bed base (2) and the mattress (3), and can be the storage envelope of the same bed base (2) and mattress (3) during vertical winding on the end caps. The length of the blades of the structure (1) corresponds to the length of the bed and all of the blades in their width correspond to the width of the bed so as to obtain the compactness of the invention at the way of a column. The blades of the structure (1) are full in order to provide resistance. The structure (1) has, on the inside length of three blades, fixing means (7) in order to allow the adhesion of the bed base (2); these fixing means (7) are separated by an equal distance corresponding to the width of a panel of the bed base (2). - the box spring (2) is preferably broken down into three equal panels each having the length, the length of the bed and the width, one third of the width of the bed. Each panel has on the side an external longitudinal strip (9) where a fixing tape (8) is sewn there. In the sleeping position, each panel is fixed vis-à-vis on one of the blades of the structure (1) provided with a fixing tape (7) by complementarity of shapes. The three panels form, for sleeping, the surface of the bed, the dimensions of which are inscribed inside the structure (1). In the storage position, the bed base panels (2) are stacked and rolled up in the mattress (3). The base panels (2) are made of a compact and flexible material with a density adapted to meet the quality of the base (2). The panels are preferably covered with a fabric cover. - The mattress (3), in one piece, exactly superimposes the surface of the box spring (2) in length and in width in the sleeping position. The mattress (3) can be made of the same material as the bed base panels (2) in a smaller thickness and with a density adapted to meet the quality of the mattress (3). The mattress (3) is preferably covered with a fabric cover and has strips (6) of fabric, in particular three, sewn on one of its faces. These bands (6) hold, for storage, the mattress (3) wrapped around the boxspring (2) by means of fixing tapes by complementary shapes. The strips (6) may possibly be integral with the internal face of the structure instead of being sewn onto the mattress (3). - The closure straps (4), in particular two, are fixed to the inner face of one of the end blades of the structure (1) by riveting or by sewing, and this, peφendicularly and externally to the structure. The straps (4) can be rubberized upholstery bands or bands of reinforced fabric. Tapes for complementary shapes are sewn on the straps (4) to keep the structure (1) closed during storage. - The handles (5), in particular in leather and which may be made of plastic or other material, are fixed by sewing or by riveting on the external face of the same end blade of the structure (1) and respect the same spacing as the straps (4) overlapping them. The number of handles (5) is equal to the number of closing straps (4). In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 shows in an isometric view, the bed stored in a vertical position. The structure (1) with articulated blades, in particular in the roller shutter deck, is kept closed by straps (4).

The structure (1) with articulated blades, in particular as a roller shutter curtain, is placed horizontally with the closing straps (4) visible at the level of the handles (5). On the almost interior length of three blades of the structure, are glued fixing mbans (7), called positive, separated by an equal distance and corresponding to the width of a box-spring (2). The box spring (2) is made up of three identical panels. Each panel-base (2) comprises a longitudinal tab (9) on which is sewn a fixing tape (8), said negative, which will adhere to the fixing tape (7), said positive, of the structure (1) by complementarity of forms. The mattress (3), of thickness less than the bed base (2), is placed above the bed base panels (2).
La figure 4 représente en vue isométrique, le lit ouvert dans sa position de couchage. La structure (1 ) à lames articulées, notamment en tablier de volet roulant, est posée à l'horizontal avec les sangles de fermeture (4) visibles au niveau des poignées (5). Le sommier (2) est composé de trois panneaux identiques fixés, par rubans de fixation, sur la structure (1). Le matelas (3) est posé sur l'ensemble des trois panneaux-sommier (2). Les panneaux- sommier (2) et le matelas (3) ont exactement les mêmes dimensions globales alors que les dimensions de la structure (1) sont plus importantes en longueur et en largeur.Figure 4 shows in isometric view, the open bed in its sleeping position. The structure (1) with articulated blades, in particular as a roller shutter curtain, is placed horizontally with the closing straps (4) visible at the level of the handles (5). The bed base (2) is composed of three identical panels fixed, by fixing tapes, to the structure (1). The mattress (3) is placed on all three base panels (2). The base panels (2) and the mattress (3) have exactly the same overall dimensions while the dimensions of the structure (1) are greater in length and in width.
La figure 5 représente en vue élévation latérale éclatée, le principe d'assemblage et de supeφosition des éléments du lit pour le couchage. La structure (1) à lames articulées, notamment en tablier de volet roulant, est posée à l'horizontal avec les sangles de fermeture (4) visibles au niveau des poignées (5). Sur la quasi-longueur intérieure de trois lames de la structure, sont collés des rubans de fixation (7), dits positifs, séparés d'une égale distance et correspondant à la largeur d'un panneau-sommier (2). Le sommier (2) est composé de trois panneaux identiques. Chaque panneau-sommier (2) comprend une patte longitudinale (9) sur laquelle est cousu un ruban de fixation (8), dit négatif, qui viendra adhérer au ruban de fixation (7), dit positif, de la structure (1) par complémentarité de formes. Le matelas (3), d'épaisseur inférieure au sommier (2), vient se placer au dessus des panneaux-sommier (2).Figure 5 shows in exploded side elevation view, the principle of assembly and supeφosition of the elements of the bed for sleeping. The structure (1) with articulated blades, in particular as a roller shutter curtain, is placed horizontally with the closing straps (4) visible at the level of the handles (5). On the almost interior length of three blades of the structure, are glued fixing tapes (7), said positive, separated by an equal distance and corresponding to the width of a box-spring (2). The box spring (2) is made up of three identical panels. Each panel-base (2) comprises a longitudinal tab (9) on which is sewn a fixing tape (8), said negative, which will adhere to the fixing tape (7), said positive, of the structure (1) by complementarity of forms. The mattress (3), of thickness less than the bed base (2), is placed above the bed base panels (2).
La figure 6 représente en vue élévation latérale, le lit ouvert dans sa position de couchage. La structure (1) à lames articulées, notamment en tablier de volet roulant, est posée à l'horizontal avec les sangles de fermeture (4) visibles au niveau des poignées (5). Le sommier (2) est composé de trois panneaux identiques fixés par rubans de fixation sur la structure (1). Le matelas (3 ), d'épaisseur inférieure au sommier (2), est posé sur l'ensemble des trois panneaux-sommier (2). Le sommier(2) et le matelas (3) ont exactement la même largeur globale alors que celle de la structure est plus importante. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le lit pour deux personnes peut avoir une surface de couchage de 195 cm x 120 cm. La structure (1) peut avoir en longueur 5 cm de plus que la longueur de couchage, et en largeur, environ 15 cm de plus que la largeur de couchage. Dans sa position de rangement vertical, le lit occupe un encombrement réduit sous la forme d'une colonne compacte ayant pour hauteur 200 cm, pour largeur environ 48 cm et pour profondeur environ 22 cm. L'auto stabilité du lit dans sa position roulée de rangement sur les embouts en fait un objet qui peut être laissé tel quel dans une pièce et servir de support vertical à d'autres objets, comme par exemple une lampe. Figure 6 shows in side elevation view, the open bed in its sleeping position. The structure (1) with articulated blades, in particular as a roller shutter curtain, is placed horizontally with the closing straps (4) visible at the level of the handles (5). The box spring (2) is composed of three identical panels fixed by fixing tapes on the structure (1). The mattress (3), of thickness less than the bed base (2), is placed on all three bed base panels (2). The bed base (2) and the mattress (3) have exactly the same overall width while that of the structure is greater. By way of nonlimiting example, the double bed can have a sleeping surface of 195 cm x 120 cm. The structure (1) may be 5 cm longer in length than the sleeping length, and about 15 cm longer in width than the sleeping width. In its vertical storage position, the bed occupies a reduced space in the form of a compact column having a height of 200 cm, a width of about 48 cm and a depth of about 22 cm. The self-stability of the bed in its rolled storage position on the end caps makes it an object that can be left as is in a room and serve as a vertical support for other objects, such as a lamp.
