Definitions

  • the outer border as a support frame consists either of a rigid material, for example wood, or of a soft, resilient material, usually foam.
  • the rigid frame disturbs when you want to sit on the bed, for example.
  • the contrast to the rigid frame and the flexible mattress is often undesirable.
  • the mattress has no lateral support, so it bulges particularly on the long sides. As a result, the appearance of the waterbed suffers and the change in shape can also damage the actual mattress.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved water bed which, with a simple structure and low weight - apart from the weight of the water filling - has high strength and shape retention while avoiding a rigid frame.
  • the subsection is made of a rigid material, the shape of the waterbed remains even after prolonged use and under load.
  • the lower section can be a solid textile material which is fastened to the inner edge of the support frame on an inner frame made of rigid material.
  • the textile material can be guided around the outside of the support frame, ie around the upper section made of foam, to the inside and can also be fastened there to the inner frame. This gives the foam a protective, firm shell and a certain stiffening is achieved.
  • the textile material can have any decor.
  • the inner frame can advantageously be made from hard fiber strips.
  • the lower section is formed by rigid foam strips and is permanently connected to the upper section.
  • a hard foam (trademark Styrofoam) also has the required stiffness so that the outer shape of the water bed is preserved.
  • the rigid foam material is very light, so that the weight of the waterbed to be transported (still without filling) remains small.
  • the permanent connection is preferably achieved by gluing.
  • the lower section can also consist of a continuous foam sheet. Their thickness and height are then to be selected so that there is sufficient dimensional rigidity.
  • the connection between the upper and lower part is expediently done by gluing.
  • the unit consisting of the upper and lower part is flexible overall, so that the head end of the bed can be raised by means of a suitable support structure and can be brought into an inclined position adapted to the wishes of the user. A part of the water then flows from the raised part to the foot end, so that an increase takes place automatically and in the desired manner.
  • a mattress of low height and thus small water content also requires a lower heating output if the water bed is kept at an elevated temperature in the usual way. The heating-up time is also shorter.
  • an additional stabilization of the water bed can be achieved by a base plate with the outer shape of the bed, which is connected, in particular glued, to the underside of the lower section.
  • the base plate can in turn be made of foam.
  • the inside of the support frame expediently runs in a manner known per se with a ramp to the floor.
  • the support frame for the water bed in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has one upper section 2, which is made of foam and the inside of which slope away at an angle or in a ramp shape.
  • a lower section 2 of the support frame consists of rigid foam and is glued to the upper section 1.
  • the support frame rests on a base plate 3, which in turn is made of foam and is glued to the lower section 2.
  • a cover or a lamination (not shown) made of a textile material with a desired decor ensures an appealing exterior.
  • the support frame in the upper part is soft in the desired manner.
  • the lower section is formed on the one hand by a tensile textile material 4, for example “Fibertex” or also linen, which is additionally guided around the upper part 1, again made of foam, and on the other hand by an inner frame 5
  • This inner frame 5 preferably consists of hard fiber strips, which are screwed to the substructure 6 of the water bed with intermediate clamping of the edges of the textile material 4. In addition, gluing can take place.
  • the substructure 6, which can be made of wood, for example, and is also used in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, ensures the correct height of the water bed and also a uniform weight distribution.
  • the lower section has a continuous, relatively thick foam sheet 12 to which the upper section 1 is glued along the edge. Due to its relatively large thickness of, for example, approximately 12 cm, the foam sheet 12 ensures good dimensional stability of the water bed. she wears but also to the upholstery, so that the height of the upper part 1 and the inserted mattress 10 can be relatively low, for example only 8 cm.
  • a base plate 3 made of, for example, rigid foam can also be provided.
