Abstract

The present invention relates to an object supporting device which comprises a pair of flexible slender tubes (12) so as to form an air cushion; the slender tubes are positioned in parallel and have a certain space which is adjusted by a plurality of members (14). The members provide transverse stability for flexible pipes, and an object supporting surface is composed of a plurality of ribbon boards (20) which transversely extend along the flexible pipes (20) and lean against the pipes. The ribbon boards are fixedly (for example, using tackiness materials) attached to a flexible board (22).

Description

Body support arrangement

The invention relates to a kind of mattress or the mattress of cushion, chair, sofa, backrest bench, stretcher and other object support apparatus or bracing or strutting arrangement of seat cushion of being used for.

The present invention is specially adapted to such device, and promptly mattress or seat cushion are to lean against to support on the batten that extends between the air cushion, as described in my No. the 038155th, European patent and No. the 116237th, the european patent application of awaiting the reply.

The objective of the invention is to make and make this bracing or strutting arrangement more economically and become possibility.

Thereby bracing or strutting arrangement of the present invention comprises the elongated tubular of pair of flexible and forms air cushion, elongated tubular is by means of member keeping parallelism relation at interval, and member has guaranteed the interval that requires and has made described pipe lateral stability, form the stayed surface of object by several members, the member extension that is parallel to each other, and horizontal described pipe, above-mentioned object support member be regularly attached on the flexible material, and place rather than be connected on the described pipe.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view, is the part section about a bracing or strutting arrangement of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is used for a kind of dividing plate that Fig. 1 installs and the perspective view of lateral struts.

Fig. 3 is a kind of improved procedure that installs shown in Fig. 1.

Referring now to the Fig. 1 in the accompanying drawing, bed bracing or strutting arrangement 10 comprises that elongated flexible pipe 12, two pipes of a pair of formation air cushion are parallel to each other and keep certain spacing, by the preset distance of determining needs along some partition components 14 of vertical arrangement of flexible pipe 12.As will be described below, keep the certain distance except making flexible pipe 12, partition component also keeps the lateral stability of flexible pipe and can make this pipe carry out the displacement of vertical direction simultaneously.

Each flexible pipe 12 all is to be shaped with hot weld sheet material or extrusion plastic material, and the end of each flexible pipe all is by hot weld seam closure, and on the top of end a pneumatic control valve door 18 is arranged.

Several independent, be the support plate stretched on horizontal edge or object support member or batten 20 with the spaced and parallel of pressing close to be fixed on flexible foamed plastics or other materials 22 bottom surfaces, for example, cohesive material or (RTM) material.Like this, though sheet material 22 is necessary it is flexible, is clamped in parallel position relation attached to the batten 20 of bottom surface regularly and can not rotates or uneven reversing.The end of batten 20 is placed on the flexible pipe 12 that keeps a determining deviation, preferably puts into a wear-resisting lath 24 of vinyl between batten and flexible pipe.After on batten 20 is fixed on sheet material 22, with cohesive material with vinyl lath 24 easily attached on the batten 20.For the sake of clarity, the forward part in accompanying drawing 1 is omitted the part of batten 20, and this point will be understandable.

The end of this assembly and both sides are made of elongated material piece 26 respectively, and this material has a kind of higher impact strength, that is to say, it has a kind of intensity of compressing than foams plastic material 22 higher opposings.Best bet is that the inwall with material block 26 makes an inclined-plane (as shown in Figure 1), thereby provides an additional support for flexible pipe 12.This component package is in a big envelope 28, and this big envelope has an opening, and this opening extends (this opening is that a long limit and two minor faces by big envelope form) respectively along the one side of big envelope and two end blocks 26, and is sealed by a slip fastener.

As shown in Figure 2, each partition component 14 all comprises a single dividing plate 30 of making of sheet of plastic material.The length of this dividing plate 30 slightly is longer than the total linear spacing between the cylindrical tube 12, and has arranged opening 32 at regular intervals on dividing plate, and the axis of this opening is consistent with the respective axis of flexible pipe 12.The diameter of this opening 32 is slightly less than the diameter of flexible pipe 12, so that can produce a kind of fastening effect when dividing plate is installed on the flexible pipe.Top and bottom at dividing plate 30 are made of a pipe 34 respectively, have a bar bar 36 in each pipe, and it extends to the other end from an end of dividing plate 30.

Dividing plate 14 also can adopt other forms, and this point will be to understand easily.For example, it can be made of a kind of flat tubular element made from sheet of plastic material of open-ended formula, by replacing bar bar 36 with the similar lath of the lath that constitutes supporting plane.If arrange like this, when dividing plate being installed on the flexible pipe 12, the cross section rectangular shaped of partition component.

As mentioned above, the use of dividing plate 14 makes flexible pipe 12 can remain on desired spacing, even because the load that acts on the batten makes partition component 14 produce the distortion of vertical direction, situation is no exception, in addition, bar bar 36 has been guaranteed the lateral stability of this assembly.Can adopt any quantity that meets the requirements for partition component 14, still, according to using and designing for manufacturing the lateral stability of 5 to 6 single dividing plate sufficient to guarantee flexible pipes 12.

As another kind of selection mode of the present invention (as shown in Figure 3), can batten 20 be fixedly mounted on the foamed plastics 22, but its end sections separately is stuck in the slit 40 of a pair of mutual aligning, but can therefrom withdraw from, this slit constitutes on flexible material batten 42, and this batten contacts with vinyl lath 24, perhaps is fixed on the flexible pipe 12 by cohesive material.In another kind of structure, the end of batten 20 can be placed in the groove that constitutes on the corresponding sidewall in the flexible batten of a pair of maintenance certain distance.This a kind of method in back is more suitable for the life style of eastern, and used herein is the lighter independent mattress of weight, and for example traditional Japonica type " good fortune is lain " (Futons).
