DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un procedimiento para proporcionar un acabado superficial a largueros y lamas de somieres, así como al producto final que se obtiene con la aplicación de tal procedimiento, que aporta esenciales características de novedad y notables ventajas con respecto a los sistemas conocidos y utilizados en el estado actual de la técnica.The present invention relates to a process for providing a surface finish to stringers and slats of bed bases, as well as to the final product obtained with the application of such a procedure, which provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages over known systems. and used in the current state of the art.
De manera más concreta, la invención se ha propuesto el desarrollo de un procedimiento mediante el cual sea posible conseguir que determinados elementos del tipo comentado, presenten en una o más de sus superficies un acabado que imite el terciopelo, el ante, etc., de modo que tal elemento constituya un producto acabado que en si mismo esté dotado de unas características ornamentales que sean conformes con las exigencias de cada caso en particular, y siendo posible alcanzar el objetivo propuesto con la utilización de técnicas de aplicación electrostática de las fibras destinadas al recubrimiento del citado elemento.More specifically, the invention has proposed the development of a process by means of which it is possible to achieve that certain elements of the type mentioned, have on one or more of their surfaces a finish that imitates velvet, suede, etc., of so that such an element constitutes a finished product that in itself is endowed with ornamental characteristics that are in accordance with the requirements of each particular case, and it is possible to achieve the proposed objective with the use of electrostatic application techniques of the fibers intended for covering of said element.
El campo de aplicación de la invención se encuentra comprendido, obviamente, dentro de la industria destinada a la fabricación de somieres, lamas y similares.The field of application of the invention is obviously included within the industry for the manufacture of bed bases, slats and the like.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Se conocen en el mercado diversos tipos de somieres, fabricados a partir de materiales tales como el hierro o la madera, los cuales consisten básicamente en un bastidor formado por cuatro elementos longitudinales unidos ortogo- nalmente entre si por sus extremos, y cuyo espacio interno puede estar constituido, en caso de ser metálico, por un soporte destinado a recibir el colchón sobre su cara superior y que se vincula a dicho bastidor por medio de resortes enganchados a lo largo de sus bordes perimetrales o bien, en caso de que el somier sea de madera, por una pluralidad de elementos transversales o lamas, ligeramente curvadas con convexidad hacia arriba, separadas entre si por una cierta distancia, cuyas caras superiores sirven de soporte al colchón correspondiente, y que se vinculan por sus extremos a los largueros del somier por medio de piezas que permiten un cierto grado de movimiento relativo entre dichas lamas y los largueros respectivos.Various types of bed bases are known in the market, manufactured from materials such as iron or wood, which basically consist of a frame formed by four longitudinal elements joined ortho- nally to each other by their ends, and whose internal space may be constituted, if metallic, by a support intended to receive the mattress on its upper face and which is linked to said frame by means of springs hooked along its perimeter edges or, in case the bed base is made of wood, by a plurality of transverse elements or slats, slightly curved with convex upwards, separated from each other by a certain distance, whose upper faces serve as support to the corresponding mattress, and that are linked by their ends to the bed frame stringers by means of pieces that allow a certain degree of movement relative between said slats and the respective stringers.
En el estado actual de la técnica, es normal que estos elementos cons itutivos de los somieres (el bastidor en el caso de ser de hierro y tanto el bastidor como las lamas en caso de ser de madera) , presenten sus diferentes caras acabadas simplemente mediante algún procedimiento convencional de pulido y alisado, dotadas de alguna capa protectora y/o ornamental (recubrimiento contra óxidos, lacado, barnizado, etc.), apreciándose por tanto las características del material con el que han sido construidos.In the current state of the art, it is normal that these constituent elements of the bed bases (the frame in the case of being iron and both the frame and the slats in case of being wooden), present their different faces finished simply by some conventional polishing and smoothing process, equipped with some protective and / or ornamental layer (coating against oxides, lacquered, varnished, etc.), thus appreciating the characteristics of the material with which they have been constructed.
Con el fin de mejorar el aspecto estético de este tipo de elementos, se han hecho intentos en la técnica para recubrir, al menos los largueros en los somieres metálicos, con alguna envoltura de un material que permita proporcionar un acabado mejorado a las caras de tales elementos. Esta técnica consiste en adaptar trozos de un material de recubrimiento (por ejemplo tela, ante u otro), de dimensio- nes suficientes para envolver perimetral ente al elemento a proteger a lo largo de toda su longitud, y realizar l<ι fijación definitiva de este material de recubrimiento mediante la aplicación de un adhesivo adecuado. Esta técnica, aunque evidentemente haya significado una solución para el caso del recubrimiento de los elementos mencionados, no está exenta de inconvenientes, puesto que al tratarse de un material que envuelve al elemento a recubrir, presenta problemas de acabado, como por ejemplo la formación de una costura longitudinal al superponerse entre si los bordes del material de recubrimiento, y requiere además la intervención de una gran cantidad de mano de obra y el empleo de un tiempo considerable, lo que da como resultado un incremento importante de los costes de producción.In order to improve the aesthetic appearance of this type of elements, attempts have been made in the art to cover, at least the stringers in the metal bed bases, with some wrap of a material that allows to provide an improved finish to the faces of such elements. This technique consists of adapting pieces of a covering material (for example, cloth, before or other), of sufficient dimensions to perimeter wrap the element to be protect along its entire length, and make l <ι definitive fixing of this coating material by applying a suitable adhesive. This technique, although obviously it has meant a solution in the case of the coating of the aforementioned elements, is not without disadvantages, since since it is a material that surrounds the element to be coated, it presents finishing problems, such as the formation of a longitudinal seam when the edges of the coating material overlap each other, and also requires the intervention of a large amount of labor and the use of considerable time, which results in a significant increase in production costs.
Por consiguiente, sería deseable poder disponer en la técnica ce un producto del tipo mencionado, por ejemplo un somier, en el que el menos su bastidor, con independencia del material en que esté fabricado, pueda estar dotado de un recubrimiento superficial que le r -oporcione unas caracie- rísticas de acabado deseadas en función de la aplicación a que se destine, y sin que este recubrimiento se vea afectado por los inconvenientes existentes en la técnica actual.Therefore, it would be desirable to be able to provide in the art a product of the aforementioned type, for example a bed base, in which the least of its frame, regardless of the material in which it is manufactured, can be provided with a surface coating that r - provide desired finishing characteristics depending on the application to which it is intended, and without this coating being affected by the drawbacks existing in the current technique.
