Abstract

The cushion consists of a coated double fabric, the two fabric webs of which are held at a constant distance by pile threads, extending vertically to said webs, and are connected to each other at the edges in an airtight manner. For air conditioning of the seat and backrest surface and to avoid an accumulation of heat, provision is made for the elastomeric coating (6) to be perforated in an air-permeable manner on one side of the double fabric (2) and for the interior of the cushion (1) to be connected to a controllable air supply (10) to produce a permanent pressurised air flow. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Kissen, insbesondere für Sitze in Kraftfahrzeugen, aus einem beschichteten Doppelgewebe, dessen beide Gewebebahnen durch vertikal dazu verlaufende Polfäden auf konstantem Abstand gehalten und an den Rändern luftdicht miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a cushion, in particular for seats in motor vehicles, made of a coated double fabric, the two fabric webs of which are kept at a constant distance by vertically extending pile threads and are connected to one another at the edges in an airtight manner.

Ein derartiges luftdicht beschichtetes Doppelgewebe zur Herstellung eines aufblasbaren Hohlkörpers ist grundsätz­lich beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 21 48 401 bekannt. Hohlkörper aus einem solchen Doppelgewebe haben den großen Vorteil exakt planparalleler Oberflächen ohne Ril­len oder Riefen, wie sie beispielsweise bei herkömmlichen Luftmatratzen auftreten.Such an airtight coated double fabric for producing an inflatable hollow body is basically known for example from DE-OS 21 48 401. Hollow bodies made from such a double weave have the great advantage of exactly plane-parallel surfaces without grooves or scoring, as occurs, for example, with conventional air mattresses.

Besondere Probleme ergeben sich jedoch bei Kraftfahrzeug­sitzen, da hier weder die Innenraumheizung noch die Lüf­tung von PKW- oder LKW-Zellen sowie Klimaanlagen in die­sen Fahrzeugen verhindern können, daß bei hohen Sommer­temperaturen und längeren Fahrten an den Körperkontakt­flächen zu Sitz- und Rückenlehne ein Wärme- und Feuchtig­keitsstau auftritt. Die Auflage flauschiger Felle oder die luftdurchlässige Ausbildung üblicherweise verwendeter Schaumstoffsitze bringt nur eine geringe Abhilfe.However, there are special problems with motor vehicle seats, since neither the interior heating nor the ventilation of car or truck cells and air conditioning systems in these vehicles can prevent heat and heat from being released from the body contact surfaces to the seat and backrest during high summer temperatures and long journeys Moisture build-up occurs. The application of fluffy skins or the air-permeable training of foam seats that are usually used is of little help.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kis­sen für derartige Sitze zu schaffen, das auch bei hohen Temperaturen in der Fahrgastzelle einen Wärme- und Feuch­tigkeitsstau verhindert und demgegenüber zu einer optima­len Klimatisierung der durch den Sitz abgestützen Kör­perbereiche führt.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a cushion for such seats, even at high Temperatures in the passenger compartment prevent heat and moisture build-up and, on the other hand, lead to optimal air conditioning of the body areas supported by the seat.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß die elastomere Beschichtung auf einer Seite des Dop­pelgewebes luftdurchlässig perforiert ist und daß das In­nere des Kissens an eine regelbare Luftzuführung zur Er­zeugung eines permanenten Luftstromes unter Überdruck an­geschlossen ist.To achieve this object, the invention provides that the elastomeric coating is perforated on one side of the double fabric and that the interior of the cushion is connected to a controllable air supply for generating a permanent air flow under excess pressure.

Dadurch wird prinzipiell erreicht, daß ständig eine nach Menge und Temperatur regelbare Luftmenge aus der perfo­rierten Oberfläche des Kissens austritt und langsam gegen den Körper der sitzenden Person strömt. Hierdurch werden ein unerwünschter Wärmestau und entstehende Körperfeuch­tigkeit abtransportiert, ohne daß Zugerscheinungen auf­treten.In principle, this ensures that a quantity of air that can be regulated according to quantity and temperature emerges from the perforated surface of the cushion and slowly flows against the body of the seated person. As a result, an undesirable build-up of heat and the resulting body moisture are removed without drafts occurring.

Die beiden Gewebebahnen des Doppelgewebes weisen zweck­mäßigerweise einen Abstand von 5 bis 30 mm auf, um einmal eine ausreichende Polsterung und zum anderen eine stö­rungsfreie Strömungsverteilung der durchströmenden Luft im Kissen zu erreichen. Dabei wird zweckmäßigerweise in­nerhalb des Kissens ein Luftdruck von 0,1 bis 0,6 bar aufrechterhalten.The two fabric webs of the double fabric are advantageously spaced from 5 to 30 mm in order to achieve adequate cushioning on the one hand, and on the other hand a trouble-free flow distribution of the air flowing through the pillow. An air pressure of 0.1 to 0.6 bar is expediently maintained within the cushion.

Der Druckluftstrom kann dabei durch ein im Fahrzeug vor­handenes Verdichteraggregat, wie z.B. den Luftverdichter der Klimaanlage oder den Kompressor der Druckluft-Brems­anlage in LKWs, erzeugt werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, einen gesonderten Luftkompressor mit einem Betriebsdruck von etwa 0,1 bis 0,6 bar und einer Luftmenge von 100 l/min vorzusehen.The compressed air flow can be generated by a compressor unit in the vehicle, such as the air compressor of the air conditioning system or the compressor of the compressed air braking system in trucks. However, it is also possible to provide a separate air compressor with an operating pressure of approximately 0.1 to 0.6 bar and an air volume of 100 l / min.

Darüber hinaus kann der Luftstrom temperiert sein, wozu er zweckmäßigerweise über den Wärmetauscher der Innen­raumheizung geführt ist.In addition, the air flow can be tempered, for which purpose it is expediently conducted via the heat exchanger of the interior heating.

Die Beschichtung des Doppelgewebes besteht zweckmäßiger­weise aus einem luftdicht beschichteten Abdeckgewebe.The coating of the double fabric expediently consists of an airtight coated cover fabric.

Um den Luftstrom bei Austritt aus der perforierten Be­schichtung besser zu verteilen, ist es zweckmäßig, die perforierte, elastomere Beschichtung mit einer luftdurch­lässigen Pufferschicht abzudecken. Diese Pufferschicht kann aus einem Vlies oder aus einem luftdurchlässigen Schaumstoff bestehen.In order to better distribute the air flow when exiting the perforated coating, it is advisable to cover the perforated, elastomeric coating with an air-permeable buffer layer. This buffer layer can consist of a fleece or of an air-permeable foam.

Ein solches Kissen kann dann in die Sitzfläche und/oder Rückenlehne des Fahrzeugsitzes integriert und unterhalb des Sitzbezugsstoffes angeordnet sein.Such a cushion can then be integrated into the seat and / or backrest of the vehicle seat and can be arranged below the seat cover material.

Es ist aber auch möglich, daß das Kissen mit einem geson­derten luftdurchlässigen Bezug versehen und als zusätzli­che Sitzauflage ausgebildet ist.But it is also possible that the pillow is provided with a separate air-permeable cover and is designed as an additional seat cover.

Anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung sind Aufbau und Wir­kungsweise eines Ausführungsbeispiels nach der Erfindung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht im Teilschnitt eines derartigen Kissens ohne Bezugsstoff und
  • Fig. 2 die perspektivische Ansicht eines Kraftfahrzeug­sitzes mit integriertem Kissen.
The structure and mode of operation of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention are explained in more detail with reference to a schematic drawing. Show
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view in partial section of such a pillow without fabric and
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a motor vehicle seat with an integrated cushion.

Wie man aus der perspektivischen Ansicht und dem Teil­querschnitt aus Fig. 1 ersieht, weist das Kissen 1 ein Doppelgewebe 2 auf, dessen beide Gewebebahnen 3 und 4 über vertikal dazu verlaufende Polfäden 5 auf konstantem Abstand gehalten sind. Dieses Doppelgewebe 2 ist auf Ober- und Unterseite mit einer elastomeren Beschichtung 6 und 7 in Form eines luftdicht gummibeschichteten Abdeck­gewebes oder einer direkt aufgebrachten Elastomerschicht zunächst luftdicht beschichtet. Die Ränder des Doppelge­webes 2 können dabei - wie in der linken Hälfte darge­stellt - über eine umlaufende Bartnaht 8 oder aber - wie in der rechten Hälfte dargestellt - mit einem umlaufenden Nahtband 9 luftdicht miteinander verbunden sein. Zum Auf­blasen dieses Doppelgewebe-Kissens 1 dient eine in das In­nere des Kissens ragender Füllstutzen 10, der an einer geeigneten Stelle angebracht ist.As can be seen from the perspective view and the partial cross section from FIG. 1, the cushion 1 has one Double fabric 2, the two fabric webs 3 and 4 of which are kept at a constant distance via vertically extending pile threads 5. This double fabric 2 is first coated airtight on the top and bottom with an elastomeric coating 6 and 7 in the form of an airtight rubber-coated cover fabric or a directly applied elastomer layer. The edges of the double fabric 2 can - as shown in the left half - via an all-round beard seam 8 or - as shown in the right half - with an all-round seam tape 9 airtight. A filler neck 10, which projects into the interior of the pillow and is attached at a suitable location, serves to inflate this double fabric pillow 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nunmehr die Beschichtung 6 auf der Oberseite des Kissens 1 perforiert, d.h. mit kleinen Lö­chern 11 vorgegebener Größe und in vorgegebenem Abstand versehen. Durch diese Perforierung 11 wird erreicht, daß die über den Füllstutzen 10 zugeführte Luftmenge, die zweckmäßigerweise einen Druck von 0,1 bis 0,6 bar auf­weist, stetig in konstantem Strom über die Löcher aus­tritt.According to the invention, the coating 6 on the top of the cushion 1 is now perforated, i.e. provided with small holes 11 of a given size and at a given distance. Through this perforation 11 it is achieved that the amount of air supplied via the filler neck 10, which expediently has a pressure of 0.1 to 0.6 bar, constantly exits through the holes in a constant flow.

Zur gleichmäßigen Luftverteilung ist es zweckmäßig, auf der Perforierung 11 noch eine luftdurchlässige Puffer­schicht 12 aufzubringen. Diese Pufferschicht 12 kann - wie in dem Ausfühurngsbeispiel dargestellt - aus einem Vlies bestehen; es ist aber auch möglich, eine hochporöse Schicht eines offenzelligen Schaumstoffs zu verwenden. Diese Pufferschicht 12 ist dann noch mit dem nicht näher dargestellten, ebenfalls luftdurchlässig ausgerüsteten Sitzbezugsstoff abgedeckt.For uniform air distribution, it is expedient to apply an air-permeable buffer layer 12 to the perforation 11. This buffer layer 12 can - as shown in the exemplary embodiment - consist of a fleece; however, it is also possible to use a highly porous layer of an open-cell foam. This buffer layer 12 is then covered with the seat cover material, which is also not shown in detail and is also air-permeable.

Zur Erzeugung eines solchen konstanten Luftstromes und zur Verhinderung eines Zusammendrückens des Kissens 1 muß innerhalb des Kissens ein geringer Überdruck von etwa 0,1 bis 0,6 bar aufrechterhalten werden. Dazu kann die Luft­zuführungsleitung 10 an einen gesonderten Luftkompressor mit einem Betriebsdruck von 0,1 bis 0,5 bar und einer Luftmenge von maximal 100 l/min angeschlossen werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, im Fahrzeug vorhandene Druckluft­erzeuger, wie beispielsweise den Luftverdichter einer Klimaanlage oder den Kompressor der Druckluft-Bremsanlage bei LKWs, zu verwenden.To generate such a constant air flow and To prevent the cushion 1 from being compressed, a slight excess pressure of approximately 0.1 to 0.6 bar must be maintained within the cushion. For this purpose, the air supply line 10 can be connected to a separate air compressor with an operating pressure of 0.1 to 0.5 bar and a maximum air volume of 100 l / min. However, it is also possible to use compressed air generators present in the vehicle, such as, for example, the air compressor of an air conditioning system or the compressor of the compressed air braking system in trucks.

Darüber hinaus sollte die Luft temperiert werden, was zweckmäßigerweise durch Führung der Luft über den vorhan­denen Wärmetauscher der Innenraumheizung erfolgen kann.In addition, the air should be tempered, which can conveniently be done by routing the air over the existing heat exchanger of the interior heating.

Das so aufgebaute Kissen 1 kann dann - wie das in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist - unmittelbar in den Sitz 20 und/oder die Rückenlehne 21 eines Fahrzeugsitzes integriert werden, wofür entsprechende Bereiche des Polstermaterials von Größe und Höhe der Kissen 1 ausgespart werden. Das Kis­sen 1 ist dabei unterhalb des eigentlichen Sitzbezugs­stoffes angeordnet, so daß es von außen nicht als geson­dertes Bauelement auffällt.The cushion 1 constructed in this way can then - as shown in FIG. 2 - be integrated directly into the seat 20 and / or the backrest 21 of a vehicle seat, for which purpose corresponding areas of the cushion material of the size and height of the cushion 1 are left out. The cushion 1 is arranged below the actual seat cover material, so that it is not noticeable from the outside as a separate component.

Es ist aber auch möglich, das Kissen selbst allseitig mit einem Bezug zu versehen und als Sonderzubehör lediglich lose auf den Fahrzeugsitz aufzulegen bzw. über entspre­chende Bänder daran zu befestigen oder nach Art und Form eines Schonbezuges auf Sitz und Rückenlehne zu fixieren.However, it is also possible to provide the cushion with a cover on all sides and to place it as a special accessory only loosely on the vehicle seat or to fasten it with appropriate straps or to fix it to the seat and backrest in the manner and shape of a protective cover.

Durch den von einem solchen Kissen erzeugten konstanten geringen Luftstrom wirkt dieses Kissen praktisch als Kli­makissen und verhindert einen Wärmestau oder die Entste­hung von Feuchtigkeit, die sonst eine unangenehme Ver­schlechterung des Sitzklimas bewirken.Due to the constant low air flow generated by such a cushion, this cushion acts practically as a climate cushion and prevents heat build-up or the formation of moisture, which would otherwise cause an unpleasant deterioration in the seating climate.

Vorstehend ist im wesentlichen das Grundprinzip eines derartigen Klimakissens beschrieben; es sind jedoch auch entsprechende Abwandlungen möglich, soweit sie im Rahmen des allgemeinen Erfindungsgedankens liegen.The basic principle of such a climate cushion is described above; however, corresponding modifications are also possible insofar as they are within the general concept of the invention.
