Water mattress chamber system with adjustable water mattress frame

The invention relates to a water mattress chamber system with an electrically or manually adjustable water mattress frame, particularly suitable for use with all bed frames.

With standard waterbeds, height adjustment is not possible. This is because the gravity of the water in the mattress, for example from the head end, would be directed to the foot end by adjusting the height. This means that there would no longer be any water in the head area of the water mattress and the user would only be lying on a mattress with no water in the head section.

Another disadvantage is that the existing bed frame can no longer be used with commercially available waterbeds. This means that the user is forced to purchase a so-called platform to set up the waterbed with the appropriate bed frame. It should be noted that the low position makes it very difficult for older people, pregnant women and disabled people to get out of bed. Another disadvantage is that the flat lying surface makes it difficult to read a book, watch TV or have breakfast in bed.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a water mattress chamber system with electrically or manually adjustable water mattress frames which meets all requirements and can be used ideally by all groups of people without any problems.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by a water mattress chamber system which, due to its design, prevents water displacement caused by the built-in chambers when the head and foot sections of the water mattress frame are raised. By enclosing the support surface in an electrically or manually adjustable frame, the water mattress frame can be inserted into any bed frame. The height adjustment of the water mattress frame enables the height of the head and foot sections to be adjusted. This ensures easy exit and a more comfortable

Lying feeling.To ensure that the user's buttocks do not displace too much water when sitting,

In the middle part of the mattress, two additional chambers are built in to prevent unwanted water displacement. In addition, special water mattress fleece inserts ensure better lying comfort. Therefore, the system can be manufactured as a water chamber mattress from 50% calming.

The invention is explained below using several drawings. The basic equipment of the water mattress chamber system is similar to that of a commercially available water mattress. This means that the water mattress system requires a mattress cover with a zipper, a water mattress heater, one (two) thick water-collecting foils and a foam border, whereby a full foam shell is recommended for this system. The structure of the water chamber system is similar to that of a water mattress already available on the market. According to the drawing, the water mattress chamber system (with manually or electrically adjustable water mattress frame) has, in the drawing la, more internal chambers (3.) in the head and foot sections. These chambers should be made from the same material as the top layer of the water mattress. The increased number of chambers (3.) means that water cannot escape (there is no water void in the water mattress), which makes it possible to position the water mattress vertically. The larger chambers (4.) support the buttocks, which is particularly important when sitting, but it also offers another advantage: when lying down, the water chamber system adapts to the body more optimally than any conventional, commercially available water mattress. If a person weighs more than one hundred kilograms, the hammock effect can be too strong. This means that the intervertebral discs are not sufficiently supported, the spine is strained instead of relieved, and the water in the mattress is increasingly directed into the foot area, which means that the head is much too low and the legs too high. This lying position causes the blood to rise to the head overnight, resulting in headaches and even migraines. The water mattress chamber system has created optimal pressure equalization. The arranged chambers (3.) and (4.) mean that even people weighing over 100 kilograms lie optimally. The chamber system is to be filled evenly with water. Each chamber under (3.) should have the same fill level. The larger chambers (4.) should have the same chamber height as (3.) after being filled with water, so that a level lying surface is created. As the water determines the degree of hardness of the bed, this can be individually adjusted. The water mattress chamber system is filled via the closable inlets (2.) built into each chamber. The water chamber system has, as shown in recording (5.), a complete foam tub (2O.) or a foam filler tub (2O.). Foam on the base (19). And as shown in the drawing (6), over water mattress fleece inserts (22), which have a mattress stabilization of at least 50%. Figure (21) shows the water mattress cover. The heating mat (23) of the water mattress chamber system is equipped as usual with a power plug (13), two power cables (12), one power cable leading to the power plug and the other to the timer - heat regulator (24). Care must be taken that the heating mat (23) rests on the middle, immovable water mattress frame field (25), and not on the adjustable fields (26).

The height-adjustable water chamber bed frame can be manufactured in two versions. One is manually operated and the other is an electronic water bed frame. This frame differs mainly from the standard electronic spring frame frames in its upper and lower surfaces. See drawing (2). A key feature is that the water chamber bed frames (manual or electronic) do not have slatted frames, but are instead divided into three solid, continuous upper and lower surfaces (5), for example made of wood. The integrated gap (6) allows enough freedom of movement for the head and foot sections. For protection, the gap is covered with a self-adhesive rubber strip (7). For better clarity, drawing (4) shows the underside of the manually operated water bed frame. The loop (17) attached with screws (18) is used to adjust the height of the head and foot sections (by pulling on it). The flexible joints (11) and (16) ensure that the desired height can be adjusted in stages and locked into place on the head and foot sections of the water bed frame. In drawing (3), the height of the waterbed frame is electronically adjusted. Electronically controlled joints (1 and 15) are used for this. The drive motor (14) is permanently mounted in the middle. It is controlled by a remote control (8), which is connected to the motor via a power cable (12). The buttons (9 and 10) on the remote control provide controllable height adjustment for the head and foot sections. The electric motor is powered by a plugged-in power cable (13.) (similar system to that already available in stores). To achieve greater overall stability, metal struts can be found in drawing (7.) under figure (28.) which are attached to the underside (30.) of the waterbed frame. In addition, two threaded feet are attached to each strut at the top and bottom end (upper foot (31.), lower foot (32.) and the middle piece (27.) or (33.), depending on the height of the bed, via the threaded guide (35.) and the thread (34.) screwed to the strut. This means that the upper foot (31.) via the middle piece (27.) or (33.) to the lower foot (32.), which stands firmly on the floor, provides the necessary stability and stability.

Claims (1)

Water mattress chamber system, with adjustable water mattress frame (1.), particularly suitable for use as a support for all bed frames. The arranged water chambers (3.) and (4.) are to be filled evenly with water and treatment agent. Before filling, the lid on the inlet (2.) must be opened and closed after filling. A foam tray (20.) or a foam base prevents external damage. A cover that covers the entire inner workings of the water mattress chamber system also includes a heating mat (23.), a collecting film. In the water mattress core there are water mattress lye inserts (22.) that have a conditional water chamber mattress stabilization of at least 50%. The heating mat (23.) is equipped as usual with a power plug (13.); two power cables (12.); Timer heat regulator (24.) etc. It is important to ensure that the heating mat (23.) rests on the middle, immovable water mattress field (25.) and not on the flexible fields (26.). The water chamber bed frames (manual and electronic) do not have slatted frames, but are instead divided into three attached wooden surfaces (5.), of which field (25.) is immovable and the fields (26.) at the head and foot sections are height-adjustable. The incorporated gap (6.) allows enough freedom of movement to adjust the height of the head and foot sections. For protection, the gap (6.) is covered with a self-adhesive, flexible rubber strip (7.). The loop (17.) attached with screws (18.) is used to manually adjust the height of the head and foot sections. The flexible joints (11.) and (16.) ensure that the desired height can be adjusted in stages by locking into place at the head and foot ends of the water chamber bed frame. In drawing 3, the water bed frame is shown as being electronically controlled. Electronically controllable joints (11. and 15.) are used for this. The drive motor (14.) is located in the middle on the underside of the metal strut (28.). It is controlled via a remote control (8.) that is connected to the drive motor (14.) via a power cable (12.). The remote control (8.) offers electronic control via the buttons (9. and 10.). The drive motor (14.) is powered by a power plug (13.) (a system already known in stores). To achieve greater overall stability, see illustration (28). Metal struts are attached to the underside ( 30 ) of the water bed frame. In addition, two threaded feet are screwed onto each strut, at the upper and lower ends (upper foot (31.), lower foot (32.), as well as the middle piece (27.) or (33.), onto the lower foot (32.), which stands firmly on the floor.
