German term

Bettbrücke

German to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances
Bettbrücken halten alles zusammen –
optisch und im Sinne des Wortes. Durch die
verbindende Endlos-Bauweise entsteht
mehr Stauraum auf kleinerer Fläche. Ein
Vorteil etwa, wenn das Schlafzimmer klein
und der Platzbedarf groß ist. Unsere
Bettbrücken-Systeme sind dabei so flexibel,
dass sie jeder Raumsituation exakt
gerecht werden
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 over bed unit
3 bed bridge
3 modular bed unit

Peter Shortall Dec 23, 2005:
yay! Endlich Erfolg! :)
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
one of them worked just fine
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
yes, that is how it looks!
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
sorry, I cannot open your link - and one more thing: the client wants the translation to be of similar size to the original, i.e. not too long, therefore, I cannot go on and on to include all the details
Peter Shortall Dec 23, 2005:
That's ok, I love a mystery! This "overbed fitment" does have units to the side too... is it like what is on your picture? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6430447/Tra...$cip%3D28568.Furniture%3EC$cip%3D28569.Bedroom+furniture%3EC$cip%3D2
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
sorry for being so complicated just before Christmas - but this assignment seems to be quite tricky...
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
yes, that is correct, Peter. Michele: that might work better, but my unit also includes units beside the bed, not only over top
Peter Shortall Dec 23, 2005:
Ok, and is the picture like this? http://www.bettenhaus-heintzen.de/modellkatalog.html?oid=890... (One long unit which extends along the wall, rather than a "stand-alone" separate unit)
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
that�s closer, Peter
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
my text also refers to Bettbr�cken Schlafzimmer - could it be a proper name? I know that it is not the name of the company selling these systems
Christine Lam (asker) Dec 23, 2005:
thanks, Peter, but I am not sure if this is what is meant in my text. This is more about the "Endlos-Bauweise", not about connecting the mattresses. The brochure shows many elements, bed, bedside table, overhead storage, cupboards that all fit nicely together - I am not sure why they call it Bettbr�cke, though
