Abstract

On a lift bed comprising four, telescopic lifting columns, which can be connected by a reclining-surface frame ( 8 ), as well as by head ( 2 ), foot ( 3 ) and side elements ( 4 ), provision is made, to permit simple assembly and dismantling of the head, foot and side elements, for the lifting columns to each display a slit ( 5.4 ), which is parallel to the axis and points towards the adjacent side element ( 4 ), and for the reclining-surface frame ( 8 ) and the side elements ( 4 ) to display corresponding anchoring elements ( 4.3 ) that can be inserted into the slits ( 5.4 ) in sliding fashion from above.

Claims (12)

1. Lift bed, consisting of four, telescopic lifting columns, which can be connected by a reclining-surface frame, as well as by head, foot and side elements, where the lifting columns each display a slit, which is parallel to an axis and points towards an adjacent side element, and the reclining-surface frame and the side elements display corresponding anchoring elements that can be inserted into the slits in sliding fashion from above.

2. Lift bed according to claim 1 , characterized in that the lifting columns are each provided with a slit, which is parallel to the axis and points towards an adjacent head or foot element, and the head and foot elements are provided with corresponding anchoring elements that can be inserted into the slits in sliding fashion from above.

3. Lift bed according to claim 1 , characterized in that the slits display undercuts.

4. Lift bed according to claim 1 , where the reclining-surface frame and the head, foot or side elements display locking means for non-positive or positive locking of the anchoring elements in the slits.

5. Lift bed according to claim 1 , where the lifting columns are designed as spindle-type telescope, and an upper telescopic section forms an outer sleeve displaying the slit or slits.

6. Lift bed according to claim 5 , where the upper telescopic section is designed as a continuously cast section with integrated bulbs that are parallel to the axis and accommodate the slits.

7. Lift bed according to claim 5 , where the telescopic columns accommodating the head or foot element further comprise lower, inner sleeves that are connected via a bridge at the bottom end.

8. Lift bed according to claim 7 , where the two spindle-type telescopes connected by the bridge are driven by a common electric motor, and power transmission from the motor to the spindles is accomplished via toothed belts, ladder chains or a shaft located within the bridge.

9. Lift bed according to claim 1 , where plastic covers are provided for the slits accommodating the side elements, insofar as they are not covered by the side elements.

10. Lift bed according to claim 1 , where the lifting columns are designed as threefold telescopes.

11. Double telescopic unit as a component for a lift bed according to claim 1 , comprising two telescopic lifting columns, each of which displays a slit, which is parallel to an axis and points towards an adjacent side element, where the two telescopic columns are rigidly connected via a bridge at the bottom end, and means for attaching wheels.

12. Double telescopic unit according to claim 11 , characterized in that an electric motor is located on or in the bridge, and power transmission from the electric motor to one or more spindles is accomplished via toothed belts, ladder chains or a shaft located within the bridge.
