Abstract

A flat core (1) made of elastic material, for example plastic foam, is provided with continuous holes (2). Support beads (3) are placed loosely in these openings (2) and the latter are closed by elastic outer layers (4) which are bonded on on both sides. Thus a mattress is obtained in a simple manner which has a relatively large number of firm support bodies located in a central zone and soft elastic outer layers. On the outside, the mattress corresponds to a customary mattress and can correspondingly be used as any customary mattress. However, with the inserted support bodies, it causes an uneven, punctiform support of a person lying on the mattress with locally increased pressure, which brings about a desired massage effect and, additionally, due to a piston effect favours forced ventilation towards the top. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze mit Stützkörpern, die in der Matratzenfläche verteilt ange­ordnet sind und je eine lokal erhöhte Abstützung der aufliegenden Person bewirken. Mit dieser Massnahme werden bestimmte physiologische Effekte, insbesondere eine Verbesserung der Durchblutung der gestützten Körperteile, erzielt, was zu prophylaktischen oder therapeutischen Zwecken dienen kann.The present invention relates to a mattress with support bodies which are arranged distributed in the mattress surface and each cause locally increased support for the person lying on it. With this measure, certain physiological effects, in particular an improvement in the blood flow to the supported body parts, are achieved, which can serve for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes.

Bekannte Matratzen dieser Art weisen an einer flachen Unterlage angeformte oder befestigte vorstehende, halb­kugelförmige oder pyramidenförmige Körper auf, welche der direkten Abstützung der sitzenden oder liegenden Person dienen (DE-A-35 24 236 und 35 25 960). Diese Matratzen mit aussen angebrachten Erhebungen und Ver­tiefungen (Körper) werden als störend empfunden und sind bei längerem Gebrauch physiologisch unbefriedigend.Known mattresses of this type have protruding, hemispherical or pyramid-shaped bodies molded onto or attached to a flat base, which serve to directly support the seated or lying person (DE-A-35 24 236 and 35 25 960). These mattresses with external elevations and depressions (body) are perceived as disturbing and are physiologically unsatisfactory with prolonged use.

Es sind allerdings auch Kissen und Matratzen bekannt, die mit einer losen Füllmasse verhältnismässig kleiner Körper, beispielsweise Schaumkunststoffteilchen, Kernen oder dergleichen gefüllt sind. Diese Art von Kissen oder Matratzen ergibt jedoch nicht einen physiologischen Massageeffekt, wie er durch verteilt angeordnete einzel­ne grössere Erhebungen bzw. Stützkörper bewirkt wird.However, pillows and mattresses are also known which are filled with a loose filling compound of relatively small bodies, for example foam plastic particles, cores or the like. However, this type of pillow or mattress does not result in a physiological massage effect, as is caused by individual, larger elevations or supporting bodies arranged in a distributed manner.

Ziel vorliegender Erfindung ist es nun, eine Matratze zu schaffen, welche einfach herstellbar ist, äusserlich den herkömmlichen Matratzenformen entspricht und auch in je. der Beziehung wie solche verwendet und kombiniert werden kann, und welche den angestrebten physiologischen Effekt ohne negative Nebenwirkungen in besonders vorteilhafter Weise bewirkt. Dieses Ziel wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Stützkörper in einer käfigartig mit Halteausneh­mungen für die Stützkörper versehenen Mittelzone der Matratze angeordnet und beidseitig mit elastischen Aussenschichten bedeckt sind.The aim of the present invention is now to create a mattress which is easy to manufacture, corresponds externally to the conventional mattress shapes and also in each case. the relationship as such can be used and combined, and which brings about the desired physiological effect without negative side effects in a particularly advantageous manner. This goal is achieved in that the support bodies are provided in a cage-like central zone of the support bodies with holding recesses for the support bodies Mattress arranged and covered on both sides with elastic outer layers.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Teildraufsicht auf einen käfigartigen Matratzenkern,
  • Fig. 2 eine räumliche Teilansicht dieses Matratzenkerns mit eingelegten Stützkugeln,
  • Fig. 3 einen schematischen Teilschnitt durch die mit elastischen Aussenschichten versehene Matratze und
  • Fig. 4 einen entsprechenden schematischen Teilschnitt durch die fertige Matratze.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • 1 is a partial plan view of a cage-like mattress core,
  • 2 is a partial spatial view of this mattress core with inserted support balls,
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic partial section through the mattress provided with elastic outer layers and
  • Fig. 4 shows a corresponding schematic partial section through the finished mattress.

Zur Herstellung der dargestellten Matratze wird ein Matratzenkern 1 mit durchgehenden Löchern 2 vorbereitet. In diesen käfigartigen Kern 1 werden sodann gemäss Fig. 2 Kugeln 3 in jede Durchbrechung eingelegt, was vorzugs­weise vollautomatisch, maschinell geschehen kann. Sodann wird der Kern beidseitig mit elastischen Aussenschichten 4 verklebt. Diese Aussenschichten sind in Fig. 3 zwei­teilig dargestellt, sie können aber auch einteilig ausgeführt sein. Gemäss Fig. 4 können dann noch weitere Auflagen, beispielsweise pflanzliche oder tierische Naturfasern oder synthetische Vliese 5 aufgelegt werden, worauf der Einfassungsstoff angebracht wird. Es entsteht damit eine Matratze äusserlich üblicher Form. Der Kern 1 und die Aussenschichten 4 können aus Kaltschaum, Latex­schaumgummi, einem Federkern, pflanzlichen oder tieri­schen Fasern oder Kombinationen derselben bestehen. Vorzugsweise wird für den Kern 1 ein Schaum verwendet. Die eingelegten Stützkörper erfüllen die Funktion der Verstärkung der Mittelzone. Die Aussenschichten bestehen vorzugsweise aus Schaumstoff weicherer Schäumung oder Latexschaumgummi und wirken somit als anschmiegsame, anatomisch richtige Polster.To manufacture the mattress shown, a mattress core 1 with through holes 2 is prepared. In this cage-like core 1, balls 3 are then inserted into each opening according to FIG. 2, which can preferably be done fully automatically, mechanically. The core is then glued on both sides with elastic outer layers 4. These outer layers are shown in two parts in FIG. 3, but they can also be made in one part. According to FIG. 4, further pads, for example vegetable or animal natural fibers or synthetic nonwovens 5, can then be placed on which the edging material is applied. The result is a mattress of an outwardly customary shape. The core 1 and the outer layers 4 can consist of cold foam, latex foam, a spring core, vegetable or animal fibers or combinations thereof. A foam is preferably used for the core 1. The inserted support bodies fulfill the function of Reinforcement of the central zone. The outer layers are preferably made of foam softer foam or latex foam and thus act as a cuddly, anatomically correct cushion.

Die Stützkörper 3 können aus Hartschaum, Gummi, Holz, Kunststoff, Styropor, Metall oder dergleichen verglichen mit den übrigen Teilen festem Material bestehen. Vor­zugsweise weisen auch die Stützkörper eine gewisse Elastizität, wenn auch eine wesentlich geringere Zusam­mendrückbarkeit als die anderen Bestandteile, auf. Sie können vorzugsweise die dargestellte Kugelform aufwei­sen, doch sind verschiedenste andere Formen denkbar, beispielsweise ellipsoidförmige Stützkörper, zylindri­sche Stützkörper mit bombierten Endflächen, walzenförmi­ge Stützkörper mit Noppen jeder beliebigen Formgebung oder eckige Stützkörper. Zur Einsparung von Material und Gewicht können sie vorzugsweise hohl ausgeführt sein, doch können sie auch mit bestimmten Materialien, bei­spielsweise Wasser oder Luft, gefüllt sein. Die Stütz­kugeln 3 weisen vorzugsweise einen Durchmesser von 25 - ­50 mm und die Aussenschichten 4 vorzugsweise gleiche Dicke von ungefähr 15 - 40 mm auf. Bei diesen Abmessun­gen ergeben sich optimale Bedingungen zur Abstützung einer Person mit stellenweise erhöhtem Druck, wobei für leichtere Personen kleinere oder weichere, für schwerere Personen grössere oder härtere Stützkörper verwendet werden. Zudem können die Aussenschichten 4 für höheres Körpergewicht fester ausgeführt werden. Dank der Einbet­tung der Stützkörper zwischen zwei elastische Aussen­schichten 4 ergibt sich jeweils eine progressive Druck­erhöhung, d.h. je stärker die Aussenschichten stellen­weise belastet werden, umso stärker dringen die Kugeln in sie ein, umso grösser wird die wirksame Stützfläche und umso grösser wird die lokale Belastung. Die in den durchgehenden Ausnehmungen 2 befindlichen Stützkörper 3 können als Kolben wirken, welche die Luft nach oben verdrängen und damit eine gute Durchlüftung und Sauer­stoffzufuhr zur liegenden Person bewirken. Anstelle eines Käfigs für die Stützkörper, welcher aus einem Kern 1 mit durchgehenden Löchern und beidseitig aufgeklebten Deckschichten besteht, könnten zwei schalenartige Hälf­ten mit nicht durchgehenden Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein. Zur Herstellung könnten nun die Stützkugeln 3 in die Ausnehmungen der einen Schale eingelegt und dann die gegengleiche Schale aufgelegt und verklebt werden. Es entsteht dabei eine entsprechende Struktur mit in Aus­nehmungen lose gehaltenen Stützkörpern und beidseitig ausserhalb derselben liegenden Wandteilen, die elasti­sche Aussenschichten bilden.The support body 3 can consist of hard foam, rubber, wood, plastic, polystyrene, metal or the like compared to the other parts of solid material. The support bodies preferably also have a certain elasticity, even if they are much less compressible than the other components. They can preferably have the spherical shape shown, but a wide variety of other shapes are conceivable, for example ellipsoidal support bodies, cylindrical support bodies with cambered end faces, roller-shaped support bodies with knobs of any shape or angular support bodies. To save material and weight, they can preferably be hollow, but they can also be filled with certain materials, for example water or air. The support balls 3 preferably have a diameter of 25-50 mm and the outer layers 4 preferably have the same thickness of approximately 15-40 mm. These dimensions result in optimal conditions for supporting a person with increased pressure in places, smaller or softer support bodies being used for lighter persons and larger or harder support bodies for heavier persons. In addition, the outer layers 4 can be made firmer for higher body weight. Thanks to the embedding of the support body between two elastic outer layers 4, there is a progressive increase in pressure, ie the more the outer layers are loaded in places, the more the balls penetrate into them, the larger the effective support surface and the greater the local load. The support bodies 3 located in the continuous recesses 2 can act as pistons which carry the air upwards oust and thus ensure good ventilation and oxygen supply to the person lying down. Instead of a cage for the support body, which consists of a core 1 with continuous holes and cover layers glued on both sides, two shell-like halves with non-continuous recesses could be provided. For the production, the support balls 3 could now be inserted into the recesses of the one shell and then the opposite shell placed and glued. The result is a corresponding structure with supporting bodies held loosely in recesses and wall parts lying on both sides outside the same, which form elastic outer layers.
