Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the assembly that constitutes by element and device by a kind of, this element is used for limiting couch face or bearing-surface, the froth bed of mattress sandwich layer for example, this device is associated with this element, adapting to the waveform shape of face or bearing-surface that couches, and comprise the body that at least one expands alternatively and/or compresses.
Background technology
In existing mattress, the face of couching is limited on the mattress.Common is intended that, and bearing-surface is basic horizontal or two dimension.Though do not make any modification in this shape for mattress, by way of exception, set pillow only is used for user's head.
Yet, in a lot of situations, be undesirable by the basic smooth fully bearing-surface that mattress limited, perhaps can have adverse effect or or even adverse effect.For example, have in the situation of situations such as, hernia narrow the user such as humpback, organ, smooth face that couches or bearing-surface can aggravate symptom or cause inflammation, bedsore etc. in any case, and bedsore is because pressure load is caused for a long time on the finite point on user's the health.
The mattress of known customization can be made by selected material, gives these mattresses such ability by this: the contour shape that is suitable for the user.Yet a kind of user of above-mentioned condition does not provide satisfied solution in order to have wherein owing to this, so this is a kind of invalid adjustment.
For example, the assembly of known a kind of afore mentioned rules type from WO88.01158, this assembly has the device that is used to regulate the face of couching or bearing-surface, is used to said problem that more suitable solution is provided exactly.The assembly that this kind is known comprises the inflatable plasticity bag that is positioned on the mattress, and this inflatable plasticity bag has thin, pliable and tough cover layer or backing layer thereon.
This kind known configuration has some shortcomings.
In the situation of (unaerated) plasticity bag of sky (can with reference to elongated balloon to be inflated), the plasticity of these bags depends on the face that couches that is limited on the mattress or the part in the bearing-surface separately.The moisture regulating action of the core material of mattress (specific usually this moisture adjusting purpose that is used for) is hindered to such degree: the surface of mattress core is covered by the plasticity bag of sky.Therefore, the edge of empty plasticity bag can be easy to be identified and feel in destructive and irritating mode by thin, pliable and tough cover layer, and this has significant adverse effect for comfortableness.
In addition, be in the situation of inflated condition at bag, these bags are that (or must make at least) is firm and hard, thereby desirable degree of support is provided.Because these plasticity bags are inflated deficiently, then the user will sink to the face that couches or the bearing-surface of these bag belows easily, and couch face or bearing-surface are limited by traditional mattress.That approach, pliable and tough cover layer is not decayed and is inflated the hardness of bag or make the hardness of inflation bag so not noticeable.Therefore, it is evident that when a people was sitting in or lies on the mattress, in use the hardness height and the comfort level of these inflation bags were low.In addition, when the user lay on the known mattress of this kind and wishes to get off from the bed, in order to leave bed, then he or she need get over by hard inflation and wrap formed sizable barrier.Owing to carry out hyperinflation so that certain degree of support to be provided for these inflation bags, and meanwhile produce for suitable method from the mattress influential barrier that gets off, therefore do not produce these hard inflation bags.
What it should be noted that is, known a kind of assembly from EP-A-1.541.109, and wherein, inflatable element is placed on thin mat below, and this thin mat can be referred to as mattress.Yet, in order to utilize the inflatable bag below mat waveform is set, and this waveform can be given the face that couches or bearing-surface on the mat top, will be necessary to give its extremely thin form.Therefore, having the comfortableness of this assembly that is in the inflation or the device of deflated state always can not be satisfactory.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has such target: make usually smooth bearing-surface (the especially bearing-surface that combines with mattress) can realize active adjustment.
