Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Matratze für einen Lattenrost gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to a mattress for a slatted frame according to the preamble of the main claim.

Matratzen sind allgemein, z.B. aus der DE-OS 3046759, bekannt. Aufgabe dieser bekannten Matratze ist, eine insbesondere als Federkernmatratze ausgebildete Matratze zu schaffen, die sich gut reinigen lässt und bei der ggf. einzelne Teile auswechselbar sind. Die Auswechselbarkeit soll dabei hygienische Aufgaben erfüllen.Mattresses are general, e.g. from DE-OS 3046759 known. The task of this known mattress is to create a mattress which is designed in particular as a spring mattress, which is easy to clean and in which individual parts can be replaced if necessary. The interchangeability should fulfill hygienic tasks.

Es ist auch vorgeschlagen worden, zwischen der Kernabdeckung und der eigentlichen Überzughülle auf der Obserseite und Unterseite des Kernbauteiles unterschiedlich gestaltete Zwischenschichten vorzusehen, die als sogenannte Winter- oder Sommerseite der Matratze ein unterschiedliches Wärmeverhalten der Matratze bedingen. Um diese unterschiedlich gestalteten Seiten zum Einsatz zu bringen, ist es erforderlich, die Matratze jeweils umzudrehen.It has also been proposed to provide differently designed intermediate layers between the core cover and the actual cover on the top and bottom of the core component, which, as the so-called winter or summer side of the mattress, require a different thermal behavior of the mattress. In order to use these differently designed pages, it is necessary to turn the mattress over.

Nachteilig bei den bekannten Anordnungen ist, dass die Art und Ausbildung der Winter- oder Sommerseite von den Fabrikationsbetrieben abhängt und nicht individuell vom Kunden oder Benutzer der Matratze eingestellt werden kann. So ist beispielsweise ein Einstellen der jeweiligen Schicht unter Berücksichtigung von medizinischen Bedingungen nicht möglich.A disadvantage of the known arrangements is that the type and design of the winter or summer side depends on the manufacturing companies and cannot be set individually by the customer or user of the mattress. For example, it is not possible to set the respective layer taking medical conditions into account.

Aus der DE-PS 2756477 ist es bei einem Lattenrost bekannt, die Stützlatten der Latten untereinander zu verbinden, so dass bestimmte Bereiche der Latten gegenüber der normalen Federung des Lattenrostes härter gestaltet werden können. Das Bestreben dieser bekannten Einrichtung ist, eine «Verschleppung» der Federcharakteristik der einen Latte zur anderen Latte hin zu erreichen, da die Einzellatten ja als Einzelkomponenten Einzelfedercharakteristik aufweisen, während die Zwischenräume zwischen den Latten keinerlei Federcharakteristik besitzen. Durch eine solche «Verschleppung» der Federcharakteristik wird ein möglichst einheitliches Bild der Federcharakteristik eines Lattenrostes angestrebt.From DE-PS 2756477 it is known for a slatted frame to connect the support slats of the slats to one another, so that certain areas of the slats can be made harder than the normal suspension of the slatted frame. The aim of this known device is to "carry over" the spring characteristic of the one slat to the other slat, since the individual slats have individual spring characteristics as individual components, while the gaps between the slats have no spring characteristic. Such a "carryover" of the spring characteristic is aimed at a picture of the spring characteristic of a slatted frame that is as uniform as possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Matratze zu schaffen, mit der der Liegekomfort wesentlich erhöht werden kann, wobei Anpassungen der Matratze an medizinische oder Komfortansprüche je nach dem gewählten Einsatzzweck der Matratze möglich sind und die Matratze in vorteilhafter Weise in Verbindung mit einem an sich zum Stand der Technik gehörenden Lattenrost eingesetzt werden kann und auf die Federungseigenschaft eines Lattenrostes anpassbar ist und in der Lage ist, diese Federeigenschaft zu beeinflussen.The invention has for its object to provide a mattress with which the lying comfort can be increased significantly, adaptations of the mattress to medical or comfort requirements depending on the chosen application of the mattress are possible and the mattress in an advantageous manner in connection with one slatted frame belonging to the state of the art can be used and can be adapted to the suspension properties of a slatted frame and is able to influence this spring property.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Durch den erfindungsgemässen Vorschlag wird also eine hartflexible Auflagerschicht geschaffen, die Schutz für das Kernbauteil der Matratze auch bei grösseren Lattenabständen gibt.The proposal according to the invention thus creates a hard-flexible support layer which provides protection for the core component of the mattress even with larger slat distances.

Die hartflexible Auflagerschicht überwindet die Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Latten und schafft eine «Verschleppung» der Federcharakteristik der einzelnen Latte auf die andere Federlatte zu, so dass eine Übertragung der Federcharakteristik auch auf den Zwischenraum zwischen den Latten erfolgt. Somit wird eine Wechselwirkung zwischen der Federeigenschaft der oberen Matratze bedingt durch die hartflexible Auflagerschicht mit der Federeigenschaft des Lattenrostes herbeigeführt. Weiterhin ist es möglich, den Einsatz an bestimmte medizinische Bedingungen anzupassen. Hier können durch Verwendung unterschiedlicher Kernbauteile und unterschiedlicher Einlagen verschiedene Härteeinstellungen nach medizinischen oder körpergewichtsabhängigen Erfordernissen erreicht werden.The hard, flexible support layer overcomes the gaps between the individual slats and creates a "carryover" of the spring characteristics of the individual slats to the other spring slats, so that the spring characteristic is also transferred to the space between the slats. This causes an interaction between the spring properties of the upper mattress due to the hard flexible support layer with the spring properties of the slatted frame. It is also possible to adapt the use to certain medical conditions. By using different core components and different inserts, different hardness settings can be achieved according to medical or body weight-dependent requirements.

Für allergische Personen kann hier eine Anpassung der Schicht an die jeweilige Allergie erfolgen und schliesslich ist es möglich, den Einsatz auch formtechnisch so auszubilden, dass beispielsweise bestimmte Stützbereiche anders, d.h. härter oder weicher, gestaltet werden als übrige Bereiche der Matratze.For allergic persons, the layer can be adapted to the respective allergy and, finally, it is also possible to design the use in terms of shape so that, for example, certain support areas are different, i.e. harder or softer than other areas of the mattress.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein einseitiger Aufbau vorgeschlagen, der bei einer nicht wendbaren Matratze zur Anwendung kommt, wodurch eine Flexibilitätserhöhung erreicht wird, weil weniger Material auf der Unterseite bei Anstellen des Lattenrostes gelängt werden muss, sich der oberhalb des Kernbauteiles befindliche Werkstoff bzw. die dort befindliche Werkstoffkombination aber leicht stauchen lässt.The invention proposes a one-sided structure, which is used in a non-reversible mattress, whereby an increase in flexibility is achieved because less material has to be elongated on the underside when the slatted frame is used, the material located above the core component or there existing material combination but slightly compresses.

Durch die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung wird dem Benutzer der Matratze die Möglichkeit gegeben, je nach seinen Wünschen den Freiraum mit einer Füllung zu versehen, die den jeweiligen Anforderungen am besten gerecht wird, wobei das Austauschen einzelner Füllungen und Ersetzen der Füllung gegen eine andere ohne Schwierigkeiten möglich ist. Hierbei ist es z.B. ohne weiteres möglich, durch Verwendung unterschiedlicher Einlagenhöhen unterschiedliche Matratzenendhöhen einzustellen.The arrangement according to the invention gives the user of the mattress the possibility, depending on his wishes, of providing the free space with a filling which best meets the respective requirements, it being possible to replace individual fillings and replace the filling with another without difficulty . Here it is e.g. easily possible to set different mattress heights by using different insert heights.

Die Matratze kann mit einem üblichen Federkern ausgerüstet sein, in gleicher Weise können aber auch Latex, Schaumkern oder Wassermatratzenkerne eingesetzt werden, ebenso wie Kerne aus Kunststoffwürfeln oder versehen mit einer Luftfederung. Als hartflexible Auflagerschicht wird eine entsprechende Schaumstoffschicht vorgeschlagen.The mattress can be equipped with a conventional spring core, but latex, foam core or water mattress cores can also be used in the same way, as well as cores made of plastic cubes or provided with air suspension. A corresponding foam layer is proposed as a hard-flexible support layer.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

Die Zeichnung zeigt dabei eine Schnittdarstellung eines Teiles einer Matratze zur Verdeutlichung des Erfindungsgedankens.The drawing shows a sectional view of part of a mattress to illustrate the concept of the invention.

In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 ein Kernbauteil einer Matratze bezeichnet. Das Kernbauteil 1 kann beliebiger Ausbildung sein und wird nach oben, unten und zu den Seiten hin durch eine Kernabdekkung 3 abgedeckt. Hierbei ist es möglich, zwischen dem Kernbauteil 1 und der eigentlichen Kernabdeckung 3 eine entsprechende Verschleissschicht 4 vorzusehen, wobei die Kernabdeckung 3 nach oben hin durch eine Trikotschicht 5 abgeschlossen sein kann.In the drawing, 1 denotes a core component of a mattress. The core component 1 can be of any design and is covered up, down and to the sides by a core cover 3. It is possible to have a corresponding Ver between the core component 1 and the actual core cover 3 to provide wear layer 4, wherein the core cover 3 can be closed off at the top by a tricot layer 5.

Insgesamt wird die Matratze durch eine Überzughülle 6 abgeschlossen, die - wie bei 7 erkennbar ist - einen Reissverschluss aufweist und damit geöffnet werden kann. Die Überzughülle 6 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im oberen Bereich, d.h. dem Liegebereich, so ausgebildet, dass ein Zwischenraum geschaffen wird, in den eine den Liegekomfort erhöhende Zwischenschicht 8 eingesetzt werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Überzughülle 6 zweiteilig derart ausgebildet, dass ein Oberteil und ein Unterteil geschaffen wird. Das Unterteil kann vorzugsweise mit der Kernabdeckung 3b und mit der Auflagerschicht 3a fest verbunden sein, so dass hygienischen oder ästhetischen Anforderungen entsprechend nur das Oberteil ausgewechselt wird.Overall, the mattress is closed by a cover 6, which - as can be seen in 7 - has a zipper and can thus be opened. The cover 6 is in the illustrated embodiment in the upper region, i.e. the lying area, designed in such a way that an intermediate space is created in which an intermediate layer 8 which increases the lying comfort can be inserted. The cover 6 is preferably formed in two parts in such a way that an upper part and a lower part are created. The lower part can preferably be firmly connected to the core cover 3b and to the support layer 3a, so that only the upper part is replaced in accordance with hygienic or aesthetic requirements.

Die das Kernbauteil 1 nach unten hin abdekkende Auflagerschicht 3a kann durch einen Verbundschaum gebildet sein, der ein hohes Raumgewicht in der Grössenordnung von 120-145 aufweist. Hierdurch wird eine Flexibilitätserhöhung erzielt, d.h., hierdurch wird eine hartflexible Auflagerschicht geschaffen, die die Einzelfedercharakteristik jeder einzelnen Latte verschleppt und beeinflusst.The support layer 3a covering the core component 1 downwards can be formed by a composite foam which has a high density in the order of 120-145. This results in an increase in flexibility, i.e., a hard-flexible support layer is created that slows down and influences the individual spring characteristics of each individual slat.

Die das Kernbauteil 1 nach oben hin abdeckende Kernabdeckung 3b und die das Kernbauteil 1 zu den vier Aussenseiten hin abdeckende Kernabdeckung 3b wird vorzugsweise aus einem Schaumstoff gebildet, der ein niedrigeres Raumgewicht aufweist, das beispielsweise in der Grössenordnung von 35 liegt.The core cover 3b covering the core component 1 upwards and the core cover 3b covering the core component 1 towards the four outer sides is preferably formed from a foam which has a lower density, for example of the order of 35.

Nach oben hin wird die äussere Kernabdekkung 3b, die in den Seitenbereichen vorgesehen ist, durch ein Profilstück 9 abgeschlossen, das wiederum aus einem Verbundschaum hohen Raumgewichtes bestehen kann und das ein Nach-Aussen-Abrutschen auf der Matratze vermeidet und dadurch den Liegekomfort erhöht. Durch öffnen des Reissverschlusses 7 wird ein Freiraum 10 freigegeben, in den ein beliebig gestalteter Einsatz 11 eingesetzt werden kann. Die Ausbildung dieses Einsatzes 11 sowohl hinsichtlich des Werkstoffes wie auch hinsichtlich der Formgebung richtet sich nach medizinischen oder Komfortansprüchen und kann leicht ausgewechselt werden, so dass damit Anpassungen an Temperaturänderungen oder an die die Matratze benutzende Person (beispielsweise in Krankenhäusern od. dgl.) leicht möglich ist.At the top, the outer core cover 3b, which is provided in the side areas, is closed off by a profile piece 9, which in turn can consist of a composite foam of high density and which avoids slipping outward on the mattress and thereby increases lying comfort. By opening the zipper 7, a free space 10 is released, into which an insert 11 of any design can be inserted. The design of this insert 11 with regard to both the material and the shape is based on medical or comfort requirements and can be easily replaced, so that adjustments to temperature changes or to the person using the mattress (for example in hospitals or the like) are easily possible is.

Durch Verwendung unterschiedlicher Kernbauteile 1 und unterschiedlicher Einlagen 11 können verschiedene Härteeinstellungen nach medizinischen oder körpergewichtsabhängigen Erfordernissen erreicht werden. Weiterhin lassen sich durch Verwendung unterschiedlicher Höhen der Einlagen 11 unterschiedliche Matratzenendhöhen erreichen.By using different core components 1 and different inserts 11, different hardness settings can be achieved according to medical or body weight-dependent requirements. Furthermore, 11 different mattress heights can be achieved by using different heights of the inserts.

Die Überzughülle 6 wird vorzugsweise mit einer sogenannten Quersteppung versehen, d.h. einer Steppung, die quer zur Längsachse der Matratze ausgerichtet ist, um so eine Faltenbildung beim Anstellen des Lattenrostrahmens und dadurch bedingten Knicken der Matratze nicht offensichtlich werden zu lassen.The cover 6 is preferably provided with a so-called cross-stitching, i.e. a quilting, which is aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis of the mattress, so that a fold formation when the slatted frame and the resulting kinking of the mattress are not apparent.

Die Verbindung der Einlage 11 mit dem Kernbauteil 1 bzw. den zugeordneten Kernabdeckungen 3 kann über Reissverschluss, Klettenband oder Druckknöpfe möglich gemacht werden. Vorzugsweise sind die Kernabdeckungen 3b mit der Auflagerschicht 3a fest verbunden und selbstverständlich kann die Auflagerschicht 3a auch aus einem anderen hartflexiblen Werkstoff gebildet werden, der in der Lage ist, die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe zu lösen.The connection of the insert 11 to the core component 1 or the associated core covers 3 can be made possible by means of a zipper, Velcro strap or push buttons. The core covers 3b are preferably firmly connected to the support layer 3a, and of course the support layer 3a can also be formed from another hard-flexible material which is able to achieve the object on which the invention is based.

Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass durch die Erfindung eine in spezieller Weise an einen Lattenrost ausgebildete Matratze geschaffen wird, die der Federcharakteristik des Lattenrostes angepasst ist, die Federcharakteristik des Lattenrostes verbessert bzw. verändert und die trotzdem einen hohen Liegekomfort schafft.In summary, it can be stated that the invention provides a mattress which is designed in a special manner on a slatted frame and which is adapted to the spring characteristic of the slatted frame, improves or changes the spring characteristic of the slatted frame and which nevertheless creates a high level of lying comfort.
