Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0153788A1] The invention concerns a method for trimming the lower structure of a piece of furniture such as a bed or a couch which consists in covering the sides of said structure with a generally rectangular elongated strip (1). The invention is characterised in that, in order to adjust the height of said strip (1) on the side, and adapt the length of said strip (1) to the size of the structure to be covered, it consists in: providing the edge of the strip upper part with at least a system of catching elements comprising a series of male or female catching elements (3) over a length of at least five centimetres, framed on each side in the strip longitudinal direction with a series of respectively matching male and female catching elements (4, 5) over a length of at least five centimetres each; locking on the structure the ends of the strip (1) and folding back the strip (1) at the system of catching devices (3, 4, 5) causing them to co-operate to form a recessed fold (6), to adjust the length of the strip (1) to the length of the structure to be trimmed, to constitute, over the length of the structure, an edge (5) urged to be supported on the top thereof, and to adjust the height of the strip (1) to the height of the structure.
