An assembly comprising a mattress and a tow blanket.

1. Current situation (= disadvantages compared to the invention)

Without use of the invention described below, in emergency situations it takes twice as long to bring an average patient to a safe zone and it does not require 1 - as when using the invention described below - but 3 to 4 people.

Moreover, as the underlying description shows, a comparable rescue operation cannot possibly be monitored proactively due to the lack of "smart" sensor solutions that inform rescuers in advance about the type and severity of certain emergencies.

2. Description (benefits)

The present invention relates to a CE-certified safety mattress, with a separate, matching towing blanket (also called sliding blanket) on the bottom, with a smooth coating, using adapted connecting zippers attached to the side of the mattress (fig. 4) must be confirmed. This sliding blanket is equipped at both head and foot end with sturdy, customizable, non-rough pull loops (see fig. 1, fig. 2).

On the sides of the sliding blanket, and accessible from the top of the mattress, there are 2 extendable fixation straps (fig. 3) that allow a bedridden individual to be brought to safety quickly, safely and comfortably by only 1 rescue work (star), also if the displacement has to be done via stairs or a rough surface, thanks to the sliding properties of the sliding blanket attached to the mattress.

More specifically, the invention is intended as an "all-in-one" safety mattress, thanks to, among other things, one or more built-in, cooperating or not, self-adjustable intelligent sensors (fig. 5 and fig. 6) with the brand name "STENTOR ",

BE2017 / 0017 with the purpose of monitoring the bedridden person, including but not limited to:

lying position, heart rate, breathing, duration (so that the patient can turn over in bed in time to prevent, for example, pressure ulcers), indications of sudden infant death syndrome, epileptic seizures, temperature in bed, fluid loss, general patient picture ...

These sensors work on the basis of light signals that are compressed by body weight and thus detect changes in the amount of light as soon as the person in question leaves the bed, stays in the bed for too long, is not back in bed within a certain time after getting up , don't go to bed at all. Setting or changing one of the aforementioned modes is easily feasible by any type of user: this setting is possible by means of a button on an included remote control and / or online via App, website, dashboard, and this both on mobile devices and on PC and laptop. In these cases, the sensor (s) 15 sends / sends a distress signal via the internet to a centrally determined location in the form of an SMS and / or other online communication (to be received on a mobile phone, tab, fixed PC, laptop via an app, a mobile number or as part of a Dashboard solution). This central location can, for example, be located en route and / or at home and / or in a care center and / or hospital or any other location.

The operation with intelligent sensors is the solution for bedridden persons who are not willing to ask for help at night if they want to get out of bed and are therefore obliged to stay in bed for too long; which in many cases leads to restlessness, anger, depression, bedsores and even fractures.

The sensor (s) concerned is / are built into the mattress as standard and can be replaced by other units and / or supplemented with additional pre-programmed units later, both by the inventor himself and by the party operating the invention. or commercializes (examples: care centers, private persons, dealers, importers, own employees, freelancers ...).

BE2017 / 0017

In the most practical embodiment, the mattress is provided with a removable towing blanket located at the bottom of the mattress and with one or more built-in bed sensors. This version is a total solution for bedridden individuals who must be able to be proactively monitored remotely via the internet at all times and who can also be rescued in a quick, safe and comfortable manner in the event of effective emergencies such as fires and explosions. In this way, accurate action can be taken 24/24. This means less workload for social workers, less stress for the family and those involved, and fewer incidents.

Another advantage of this safety mattress is that it can be personalized and tailored to the type of user, with the type of carrier (eg: water mattress, air mattress), hardness, the dimensions in length, width and height and the degree of buildability. the physiognomy and the comfort wishes of the user or type of users can be adjusted. For example, the mattress can be provided with a winter and summer side, and versions can be manufactured for intensive care aimed at bedsores.
