Required materials and tools, creating sketch and frame
Scheme of the size of the lifting mechanism.
To perform a model with a lifting mechanism, instruments and materials are needed:
- screwdriver;
- screwdriver cross;
- self-tapping screw;
- bolts;
- welding machine;
- electrolovik;
- Bulgarian;
- stapler;
- roulette;
- plane;
- drill;
- Chipboard;
- board;

At first, the orthopedic mattress acquire, given the personal preferences of the owners. Then the sketch of the product due to the sizes of the mattress. The sketch displays the composition of the bed with side and end items. A sketch has a type of box of 4 boards and 4 transverse parts for the formation of the bottom under the frame. When creating a sketch, the sizes of the mattress are taken into account. The mattress for an adult has a length of 180-200 cm, a width of 80-180 cm. The manufactured steel frame will increase the operational characteristics of the model, which is especially important in the production of a double sample with a large full of owners.
The frame is performed from the steel profile of the square section, additionally set several transverse racks in longitudinal and transverse framework elements in increasing from 600 to 900 mm. Billets are cut with a grinder, connected by the welding machine. Vertical racks can be positioned at some points of attachment of parts of the lifting mechanism. Rama-frame is equipped with a handle ring from leatherette.

Now we create a wooden box, which is a kind of frame for a frame. Working on the opening of the side walls and the bottom of the model according to the required dimensions are underway, wood, chipboard is used, an electrolovka is used. The ends are connected by corners using self-tapping screws, or a connection is performed in a spike on PVA glue, and it is necessary to check the diagonal. The box is ready. The framework is placed in it. Now the lifting mechanism is mounted, its function is checked, it is adjusted if necessary.
The finishing of the outer surface of the side walls of the model is the final in the manufacturing process. Used upholstery fabric, leather, dermatin. The upholstery is performed by the furniture stapler. The gasket of the foam rubber between wood and upholstery creates airiness, the required volume. At the end, placed an orthopedic mattress.
A unique bed equipped with a block lifting device contributes to a good rest, becomes a functional piece of furniture, participates in the formation of an individual interior style.
