MADRAS OMFATTENDE ET AKTIVT VARME-ABSORBERENDE/-AFGIVENDE LAG I KOMBINATION MED ET DUNLAGMADRAS INCLUDING AN ACTIVE HEAT-ABSORBING / RELEASING LAYER IN COMBINATION WITH A DOWNLOAD
OPFINDELSENS OMRÅDEFIELD OF THE INVENTION
5 Nærværende opfindelse omhandler en madras.The present invention relates to a mattress.
OPFINDELSENS BAGGRUNDBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Den menneskelige krop går under søvnen igennem forskellige faser, og i disse faser varierer kropstemperaturen - både som følge af temperaturudsving i 10 kroppen under søvn og som følge af temperaturudsving i omgivelserne. Disse temperaturudsving forstyrrer søvnen. Det er særligt vigtigt for søvnen, at den vigtigste fase - REM-fasen - er uforstyrret, fordi hjernen i denne fase ’genoplades’ og forberedes til den næste vågne periode. En anden følge af temperaturudsvingene er, at dynen, der dækker personen, sparkes af under 15 søvnen, hvilket ofte resulterer i, at personen vågner op og fryser på et senere tidspunkt. Endvidere kan temperaturudsvingene også resultere i en svedig, våd madras. I begge tilfælde forstyrrer temperaturudsvingene ikke blot søvnen men kan også medføre sygdom, 20 I et forsøg på at imødekomme specifikke krav til beklædning og andre varme-regulerende midler er nye materialer blevet udviklet. For eksempel er mi-kroindkapslede phase change materialer beskrevet som velegnede til beklædning af substrater, når ekstraordinære varme-overførende og -lagrende egenskaber er ønskelige.The human body goes through different phases during sleep, and during these phases the body temperature varies - both as a result of temperature fluctuations in the body during sleep and as a result of temperature fluctuations in the environment. These temperature fluctuations interfere with sleep. It is especially important for sleep that the most important phase - the REM phase - is undisturbed because the brain in this phase is 'recharging' and preparing for the next waking period. Another consequence of the temperature fluctuations is that the duvet covering the person is kicked off during the 15 sleep, which often results in the person waking up and freezing at a later date. Furthermore, the temperature fluctuations can also result in a sweaty, wet mattress. In both cases, the temperature fluctuations not only interfere with sleep but can also cause disease. 20 In an effort to meet specific requirements for clothing and other heat-regulating agents, new materials have been developed. For example, microencapsulated phase change materials are described as suitable for coating substrates when exceptional heat transfer and storage properties are desired.
25 I US 5,290,904 beskrives substrater, der er beklædt med en binder indeholdende mikrokapsler, der er fyldt med et energiabsorberende phase change materiale. Disse mikrokapsler får substratet til at udvise øgede eller forbedrede varme-fastholdende eller -lagrende egenskaber.US 5,290,904 discloses substrates coated with a binder containing microcapsules loaded with an energy absorbing phase change material. These microcapsules cause the substrate to exhibit increased or improved heat retention or storage properties.

Som et yderligere eksempel har mikroindkapslede phase change materialer været beskrevet som et velegnet element til indbygning i fibre, når ekstraordinære varme-overførende og -lagrende egenskaber er ønskelige. I US 4,756,958 har et fiber med integrerede mikrokugler fyldt med et phase chan-5 ge materiale eller plastikkrystaller forbedret varmeegenskaberne ved forudbestemte temperaturer. Dette dokument beskriver yderligere, at sådanne fibre kan væves på en sådan måde, at de danner et stof med de forbedrede varmelagrende egenskaber.As a further example, microencapsulated phase change materials have been described as a suitable element for incorporation into fibers when exceptional heat transfer and storage properties are desired. In US 4,756,958, a fiber with integrated microspheres filled with a phase-changing material or plastic crystals has improved the heat properties at predetermined temperatures. This document further describes that such fibers can be woven in such a way that they form a fabric with the enhanced heat storage properties.
10 Generelt har phase change materialer den egenskab, at de kan absorbere eller afgive varmeenergi for at reducere eller fjerne varmeoverførsel ved det temperaturstabiliserende område af det temperaturstabiliserende materiale.In general, phase change materials have the property that they can absorb or emit heat energy to reduce or eliminate heat transfer at the temperature stabilizing region of the temperature stabilizing material.
Phase change materialet hæmmer eller stopper strømning af varmeenergi gennem overtrækket i det tidsrum, hvor phase change materialet absorberer 15 eller afgiver varme - typisk under materialets faseændring. Dette step er kortvarigt, del vil sige, at det vil være effektivt som en barriere for varmeenergi, indtil det temperaturstabiliserende materiales totale latente varme er absorberet eller frigivet under opvarmnings- eller afkølingsprocessen. Varmeenergi han oplages i eller fjernes fra phase change materialet og kan på ef-2 0 fektiv måde oplades igen af en opvarmende eller afkølende kilde. Ved at vælge et egnet phase change materiale kan et substrat overtrækkes, eller et fiber kan fremstilles, der inkorporerer et phase change materiale med henblik på en særlig anvendelse, hvor temperaturstabilisering er ønskelig.The phase change material inhibits or stops the flow of heat energy through the coating during the period when the phase change material absorbs or emits heat - typically during the phase change of the material. This step is short-lived, in part, it will be effective as a barrier to heat energy until the total latent heat of the temperature stabilizing material is absorbed or released during the heating or cooling process. Heat energy is absorbed in or removed from the phase change material and can be recharged efficiently by a heating or cooling source. By selecting a suitable phase change material, a substrate may be coated or a fiber may be prepared incorporating a phase change material for a particular application where temperature stabilization is desired.
25 En måde at løse nævnte søvnproblem er at indsætte et lag phase change materiale over madrassens kerne. Phase change materialer har den egenskab, at de absorberer eller afgiver varme til/fra kroppen afhængigt af kropstemperaturen under søvn, og ved at bruge et phase change materiale i madrassen er det intentionen, at temperaturudsving i kroppen minimeres under 30 søvn.One way to solve said sleep problem is to insert a layer of phase change material over the core of the mattress. Phase change materials have the property of absorbing or emitting heat to / from the body depending on the body temperature during sleep, and by using a phase change material in the mattress, the intention is for temperature fluctuations in the body to be minimized during 30 sleep.
t DK 176827 B1 3t DK 176827 B1 3
Et problem med denne løsning er imidlertid, at kroppen danner fugt under søvnen, og fugten absorberes efterfølgende i det på phase change materialet følgende lag, som typisk er madrassens kerne eller et lag syntetisk fyld mellem kernen og phase change materialet. Fugten forringer phase change ma-5 terialets virkning betydeligt, hvorved brugen af phase change materialet ikke i tilstrækkelig grad løser problemet med at minimere temperaturudsving under søvn.However, a problem with this solution is that the body forms moisture during sleep and the moisture is subsequently absorbed into the layer following the phase change material, which is typically the core of the mattress or a layer of synthetic filling between the core and the phase change material. The moisture significantly reduces the effect of the phase change material, whereby the use of the phase change material does not adequately solve the problem of minimizing temperature fluctuations during sleep.
US 2002/0164474 beskriver et sammensat materiale til afkøling og isolering 10 af en bruger i kolde omgivelser, hvor materialet blandt andet tilvejebringer en fremgangsmåde til fordampning eller direkte absorption af sved fra brugerens hud, og hvor en anvendelse af det sammensatte materiale beskrives som et metabolsk varme- eller køletæppe til behandling af hypotermi- eller feberpatienter og terapeutisk opvarmning eller afkøling af ortopædiske ledstøtter.US 2002/0164474 discloses a composite material for cooling and isolating a user in cold environments, where the material provides, inter alia, a process for evaporation or direct absorption of sweat from the user's skin, and wherein a use of the composite material is described as a heat or cooling blanket for the treatment of hypothermia or fever patients and therapeutic heating or cooling of orthopedic joint supports.
15 US 2003/0124318 beskriver en varmebarriere, der omfatter et første barrierelag og et andet barrierelag med et basis materiale derimellem. Tekstiler, fodtøj, soveposer og sengetøj er nævnt som mulige anvendelser for varmebarri-eren.US 2003/0124318 discloses a heat barrier comprising a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer with a base material therebetween. Textiles, footwear, sleeping bags and linens are mentioned as possible uses for the heat barrier.

Ingen af de ovenfor nævnte dokumenter løser fugt-problemet som beskrevet ovenfor.None of the above documents solves the moisture problem as described above.
FORMAL MED OG SAMMENDRAG AF OPFINDELSENFORM AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
2 5 Det er derfor et formål med opfindelsen at tilvejebringe en madras, der løser ovennævnte problemer.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a mattress that solves the above problems.
Dette opnås med en madras, der omfatter et støtteelement, hvor nævnte støtteelement dækkes af et første lag af et materiale med temperatu rregule- 3 0 rende egenskaber ved absorption eller afgivelse af varme og et andet lag af dun.This is achieved with a mattress comprising a support member, wherein said support member is covered by a first layer of a material having temperature regulating properties by absorption or release of heat and a second layer of down.

Ved at bruge et materiale med temperaturregulerende egenskaber sammen med et lag af dunfyld opnås særdeles gode egenskaber til minimering af temperaturudsving. Dunfyld har, sammenlignet med eksempelvis fiberfyld, 5 særdeles gode fugtabsorberende egenskaber, og tests har vist, at temperatu rregulerende materialers, som for eksempel phase change materialers, virkning forbedres væsentligt ved at minimere fugten. Således kan det temperaturregulerende materiale bruges til at opfylde de ret strikse krav til temperaturudsving, der er nødvendige for at opnå en uforstyrret søvn - og i sær-10 deleshed en uforstyrret REM søvn. Endvidere undgås det ved brug af det temperaturregulerende materiale i madrassen, at brugerne bliver syg, både fordi en bedre søvn styrker immunforsvaret, og fordi risikoen for, at brugeren utilsigtet sparker dynen af eller gør madrassen våd på grund af sved, reduceres. Yderligere kan antallet af gange, madrassen og/eiler madrasbetrækket 15 skal vaskes, reduceres, da risikoen for, at madrassen bliver svedig, er reduceret.By using a material with temperature regulating properties together with a layer of down filling, very good properties for minimizing temperature fluctuations are obtained. Downfill, compared to, for example, fiberfill, has 5 very good moisture-absorbing properties, and tests have shown that the effect of temperature-regulating materials, such as phase change materials, is greatly improved by minimizing moisture. Thus, the temperature-regulating material can be used to meet the rather strict temperature fluctuations needed to obtain an undisturbed sleep - and in particular an undisturbed REM sleep. Furthermore, the use of the temperature-regulating material in the mattress prevents users from getting sick, both because better sleep strengthens the immune system and because the user's risk of accidentally kicking the quilt or wet the mattress due to sweat is reduced. Further, the number of times the mattress and / or mattress cover 15 must be washed can be reduced as the risk of the mattress becoming sweaty is reduced.
I en udførelsesform omfatter det temperaturregulerende materiale et phase change materiale. Dette materiale har vist sig at være velegnet til brug på en 2 0 madras og kan tilpasses til på optimal vis at minimere temperaturudsvingene i temperaturniveauet omkring den menneskelige kropstemperatur.In one embodiment, the temperature regulating material comprises a phase change material. This material has been found to be suitable for use on a mattress and can be adapted to optimally minimize the temperature fluctuations in the temperature level around the human body temperature.
I en udførelsesform omfatter madrassen yderligere et tredje lag af et spacer materiale. Et spacer materiale tilvejebringer et luftrum mellem lagene oven-2 5 over og lagene under spacer materialet. Derved kan fugt nemt forsvinde på grund af cirkulation fra omgivelserne, og det temperaturregulerende materiales temperaturregulerende egenskaber forbedres.In one embodiment, the mattress further comprises a third layer of a spacer material. A spacer material provides an air space between the layers above and the layers below the spacer material. In this way, moisture can easily disappear due to ambient circulation and the temperature regulating properties of the temperature regulating material are improved.
Distance mess 3mesh® fra Muller Textil er et eksempel på et spacer materia-30 le. Ved brug af dette produkt er det muligt at justere hårdheden og fjederegenskaberne.Distance mess 3mesh® from Muller Textil is an example of a spacer material. By using this product it is possible to adjust the hardness and spring characteristics.
5 DK 176827 B1 I en udførelsesform omfatter madrassen yderligere et fjerde lag af et spacer materiale, hvor nævnte ijerde lag er placeret på den modsatte side af støtteelementet i forhold til det tredje lag, hvorved hvert spacer materiale dækker 5 hver sin side af støtteelementet. Dette sikrer, at fugt fra begge sider af nævnte madras minimeres på grund af muligheden for luftcirkulation rundt om madrassen.In one embodiment, the mattress further comprises a fourth layer of a spacer material, said fourth layer being positioned on the opposite side of the support member relative to the third layer, each spacer material covering each side of the supporting member. This ensures that moisture from both sides of said mattress is minimized due to the possibility of air circulation around the mattress.
I en udførelsesform omfatter det andet dunlag gåsedun. Gåsedun har vist sig 10 at være særdeles gode til at absorbere fugt, hvorved det temperaturregulerende materiales virkning forbedres.In one embodiment, the second down layer comprises goose down. Goose down has been found to be extremely good at absorbing moisture, thereby improving the effect of the temperature regulating material.
I en udførelsesform har det andet lag en tykkelse på mellem 1 mm og 20 mm.In one embodiment, the second layer has a thickness of between 1 mm and 20 mm.
15 I en udførelsesform har det tredje lag en tykkelse på mellem 3 mm og 50 mm.In one embodiment, the third layer has a thickness of between 3 mm and 50 mm.
I en udførelsesform omfatter madrassen endvidere i det mindste ét dæklag, 2 0 der beskytter laget af phase change materiale.In one embodiment, the mattress further comprises at least one cover layer, which protects the layer of phase change material.

15 BESKRIVELSE AF FORETRUKNE UDFØRELSESFORMERDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Figur 1 viser en madras i henhold til nærværende opfindelse. Madrassen 101 er i kontakt med en stor del af den menneskelige krop 103 under søvn. 1102 vises et tværsnit af madrassen 101. Madrassen omfatter et støtteelement 105, eksempelvis en kerne, der er baseret på skum og/eller fjedre, hvor støt-2 o teelementet er dækket af et første lag af et materiale med temperaturregule rende egenskaber, såsom et phase change materiale 107 og et andet lag af dun 109.Figure 1 shows a mattress according to the present invention. The mattress 101 is in contact with a large portion of the human body 103 during sleep. 1102, a cross-sectional view of the mattress 101 is shown. The mattress comprises a support member 105, for example, a core based on foam and / or springs, the support member being covered by a first layer of a material having temperature controlling properties such as a phase change material 107 and another layer of down 109.
Laget af dun mellem støtteelementet og phase change materialet kunne i en 2 5 udførelsesform fremstilles ved at sy et øverste lag, omfattende laget af tem peraturregulerende materiale 107, med skillevægge, der danner kanaler.The layer of down between the support member and the phase change material could in a embodiment be made by sewing an upper layer comprising the layer of temperature regulating material 107, with partitions forming channels.
Derefter blæses dunfyldet ind i kanalerne, og når de er fyldte, lukkes kanalerne.The ducts are then blown down into the ducts and when they are filled, the ducts are closed.
30 Som et alternativ kunne en topmadras til placering ovenpå en eksisterende fjederbaseret madras omfatte det andet lag af dunfyld og det første lag af et 7 DK 176827 B1 temperaturregulerende materiale, Endvidere kunne et lag til beskyttelse af det temperaturregulerende materiale være tilvejebragt ovenover det temperaturregulerende materiale 107, 5 I figur 2 er en anden udførelsesform af madrassen i henhold til opfindelsen illustreret, og her omfatter madrassen, udover det første lag af et temperaturregulerende materiale 207, et tredje lag af et spacer materiale 201, der er placeret mellem dunlaget 209 og støtteelementet 205.Alternatively, a top mattress for placing on top of an existing spring-based mattress could comprise the second layer of down filling and the first layer of a temperature-regulating material. Furthermore, a layer for protecting the temperature-regulating material could be provided above the temperature-regulating material 107 In Figure 2, another embodiment of the mattress according to the invention is illustrated, and here, in addition to the first layer of a temperature regulating material 207, the mattress comprises a third layer of a spacer material 201 located between the down layer 209 and the support element 205. .
10 I figur 3 er virkemåden af madrassen i henhold til opfindelsen illustreret. Den menneskelige krop er illustreret ved 301, det temperaturregulerende materiale er illustreret ved 303 og dunlaget er illustreret ved 305. Når den menneskelige krops 301 temperatur stiger, oplagres den ekstra varme i det temperaturregulerende lag 303, og kropstemperaturen sænkes. Når den menne-15 skelige krops 301 temperatur falder, afgives den lagrede ekstra varme fra det temperaturregulerende lag 303, hvorved kropstemperaturen øges. Da dunlaget endvidere er meget effektivt til absorbering af fugt, absorberer dette fugt fra omgivelserne og fugt, der er afgivet fra den menneskelige krop 301.In Figure 3, the operation of the mattress according to the invention is illustrated. The human body is illustrated at 301, the temperature regulating material is illustrated at 303 and the down layer is illustrated at 305. As the temperature of the human body 301 increases, the additional heat is stored in the temperature regulating layer 303 and the body temperature is lowered. As the temperature of the human body 301 decreases, the stored additional heat is emitted from the temperature-regulating layer 303, thereby increasing the body temperature. Furthermore, since the down layer is very effective in absorbing moisture, it absorbs moisture from the environment and moisture emitted from the human body 301.
Mængden af dun i laget bruges også til at sikre, at kropstemperaturen holdes 20 på et specifikt niveau, hvorimod det temperaturregulerende materiale bruges til at minimere temperaturudsving.The amount of down in the layer is also used to ensure that the body temperature is maintained at a specific level, whereas the temperature regulating material is used to minimize temperature fluctuations.
I figur 4 sammenlignes udsvingene i den menneskelige kropstemperatur ved brug af madrasser i henhold til nærværende opfindelse med udsvingene i 25 den menneskelige kropstemperatur ved brug af madrasser i henhold til kendt teknik. Tiden er vist på den vandrette akse og kropstemperaturen er vist på den lodrette akse. Kropstemperaturen ved brug af en madras i henhold til kendt teknik er illustreret ved kurven 405, hvorimod kropstemperaturen ved brug af en madras i henhold til nærværende opfindelse er illustreret ved kur-30 ven 403. Intervallet 401 på den lodrette akse er endvidere det interval, der er defineret som den optimale søvntemperatur. Ved brug af en madras i hen- 8 DK 176827 B1 hold til opfindelsen minimeres udsvingene i kropstemperaturen og holdes indenfor det optimale søvntemperatur-interval 401, hvorimod der forekommer store temperaturudsving ved brug af madrasser i henhold til kendt teknik.In Figure 4, the fluctuations in the human body temperature using mattresses of the present invention are compared with the fluctuations in the human body temperature using mattresses of the prior art. Time is shown on the horizontal axis and body temperature is shown on the vertical axis. The body temperature using a mattress according to the prior art is illustrated by the curve 405, whereas the body temperature using a mattress according to the present invention is illustrated by the curve 403. The interval 401 on the vertical axis is furthermore the range which is defined as the optimal sleep temperature. When using a mattress according to the invention, the fluctuations in body temperature are minimized and kept within the optimal sleep temperature range 401, whereas large temperature fluctuations occur when using mattresses according to the prior art.
5 I figur 5 er en yderligere udførelsesform af en madras i henhold til nærværende opfindelse illustreret.In Figure 5, a further embodiment of a mattress according to the present invention is illustrated.
I figur 5 er en anden udførelsesform af en madras i henhold til nærværende opfindelse illustreret, og her omfatter madrassen, udover det første lag af et 10 temperaturregulerende materiale 507, et tredje lag og et Ijerde lag af et spacer materiale 501, 503 på hver side af støtteelementet 505.In Figure 5, another embodiment of a mattress according to the present invention is illustrated, and here the mattress comprises, in addition to the first layer of a temperature regulating material 507, a third layer and a fourth layer of a spacer material 501, 503 on each side. of the support member 505.
Figur 6 illustrerer en yderligere udførelsesform af madrassen i henhold til nærværende opfindelse, hvor der her er placeret dæklag 601,603 som de 15 ydre dele på hver side af madrassen.Figure 6 illustrates a further embodiment of the mattress of the present invention, where cover layers 601,603 are located here as the 15 outer portions on each side of the mattress.
Figur 7 illustrerer virkemåden for madrassen i henhold til udførelsesformen af madrassen vist i figur 6. Den menneskelige krop er illustreret ved 701, det temperaturregulerende materiale er illustreret ved 703 og dunlaget er illustre-20 ret ved 705. Yderligere er det tredje og det fjerde lag af spacer materiale 707, 709 illustreret på hver side af støtteelementet 708. Når den menneskelige krops 701 temperatur stiger, oplagres den ekstra varme i det temperaturregulerende lag 703, og kropstemperaturen sænkes.Figure 7 illustrates the operation of the mattress according to the embodiment of the mattress shown in Figure 6. The human body is illustrated at 701, the temperature regulating material is illustrated at 703 and the down layer is illustrated at 705. Further, the third and fourth layers of spacer material 707, 709 illustrated on each side of the support member 708. As the temperature of the human body 701 rises, the additional heat is stored in the temperature regulating layer 703 and the body temperature is lowered.
2 5 Når den menneskelige krops 701 temperatur falder, afgives den lagrede eks tra varme fra det temperaturregulerende lag 703, hvorved kropstemperaturen øges. Da dunlaget endvidere er meget effektivt til absorbering af fugt, absorberer dette fugt fra omgivelserne og fugt, der er afgivet fra den menneskelige krop 701. Lagene af spacer materiale 707, 709 tillader luftcirkulation gennem 30 madrassen, hvorved mængden af fugt minimeres.As the temperature of the human body 701 decreases, the stored extra heat is emitted from the temperature-regulating layer 703, thereby increasing the body temperature. Furthermore, as the down layer is very effective at absorbing moisture, it absorbs moisture from the environment and moisture emitted from the human body 701. The layers of spacer material 707, 709 allow air circulation through the mattress, thereby minimizing the amount of moisture.

The word 'includes' does not exclude any elements or steps other than those mentioned in the claim. The invention can be implemented by means of hardware comprising several separate elements and by a computer programmed thereto. In an apparatus claim which sets up several means, several of these means can be performed by one and the same piece of hardware. The fact that certain measures are mentioned in different independent claims does not mean that a combination of these measures cannot be used advantageously.
