Abstract

A kind of object support device, thereby it comprises the elongated tubular (12) of pair of flexible forms air cushion that they are placed abreast and keep a determining deviation, this spacing is to adjust by several members (14).This member provides horizontal stability for flexible pipe, and object support surface is made of several battens (20), and they are along the horizontal expansion of this flexible pipe (20) and lean against on this pipe.This batten (is for example used cohesive material) regularly attached on the flexible board (22).

Description

A kind of improved object support device

The invention relates to a kind of bracing or strutting arrangement and other object support apparatus that is used for mattress or cushion, chair, sofa, backrest bench, carries bed.This hereinafter bracing or strutting arrangement will be called as " definition kind ".

The present invention is specially adapted to the device of this definition kind, promptly mattress or cushion are to lean against on the batten, and this batten extends supporting between the air cushion, as my No. the 038155th, the European patent and the european patent application the 83308034th that awaits the reply, 4, described in number like that.

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

The present invention includes the bracing or strutting arrangement of a definition kind, it comprises that thereby the elongated tubular of pair of flexible forms air cushion, they are placed abreast and keep a determining deviation, and this spacing is adjusted on demand by several members, and this member provides horizontal stability for above-mentioned flexible pipe; This device has also comprised an object support surface that is made of some members, and they are along the horizontal expansion of above-mentioned flexible pipe and lean against on this pipe, and above-mentioned object support member is regularly attached on the flexible material.

In the accompanying drawings:

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

Fig. 2 be one about a kind of dividing plate that is used for Fig. 1 device and the perspective view of lateral struts.

Fig. 3 is an a kind of improved procedure about device shown in Figure 1.

Referring now to the Fig. 1 in the accompanying drawing, a bed bracing or strutting arrangement 10 comprises a pair of elongated flexible pipe, thereby forms air cushion, and two pipes are parallel to each other and maintain a certain distance, by the preset distance of determining needs along some partition components of vertical arrangement of flexible pipe 12.Just as will be described hereinafter, 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 is all by the hot weld joint seal, and on the top of end a pneumatic control valve door is arranged.

Several independent, be fixed on a kind of foamed plastics of flexibility or above other sheet material 22 with being the mattress sinking of stretching on horizontal edge or object support device or batten 20 mutual horizontal close neighbours, for example, a kind of cohesive material or (RTM) material.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, can be 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 batten 20 parts, 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 launches along big envelope one side and

end block

26 and 28 respectively, and is sealed by a slip fastener.

As shown in Figure 2, each partition component 14 all comprises a single dividing plate of making of sheet of plastic material.The length of this dividing plate 30 slightly is longer than the total linear spacing between the tubular bladder, 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.

If use dividing plate 14 by above-mentioned situation, then can make flexible pipe 12 keep needed 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 number that meets the requirements to put 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).
