Definitions
- the invention relates to a cushion body, e.g. for a bed for people suffering from incontinence, the upholstered body being skin-covered with an impermeable material and having a single large funnel-shaped recess.
- a cushion body of the type mentioned is known from DE-PS 11 07 893.
- the upholstered body described therein is an essentially known innerspring mattress which is covered with an impermeable material and which has a large funnel-shaped opening approximately in its center. Under or in this opening there is a container for receiving the excretions released by the patient.
- a disadvantage of this known design of a mattress is that the patient must always lie directly on the opening of the mattress if the mattress is to perform its function. Lying on the opening is extremely uncomfortable for understandable reasons, so that it can be assumed that the patient is often not directly on the opening, but next to it. In this case, the excretions accumulate in this cavity due to the cavity formed by the body weight in the mattress, with the result that the patient lies wet.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of a cushion body, e.g. for a bed, with which it is ensured that a person suffering from incontinence is dry, and which can be cleaned from human excrement in a simple manner, and which nevertheless offers the usual comfort, in particular with regard to good ventilation, as is also the case is the case with a conventional mattress.
- the object is achieved in that the cushion body has a plurality of funnel-shaped continuous recesses distributed over the entire surface, the cushion body having bulges between the individual funnel-shaped recesses, and in that a trough is arranged under the cushion body and extends over the surface of the cushion body.
- the cushion body itself can consist of a resilient material, for example latex, polyurethane foam or integral foam. Due to the funnel-shaped structure, there is constant circulation fresh air is guaranteed, even though the upholstered body itself is covered with a liquid-impermeable material, since ventilation takes place through the funnel-shaped recesses in the mattress.
- the ventilation itself is further improved in that, according to a further feature of the invention, a frame is arranged in the tub, which ensures that an air cushion is located between the tub floor and the cushion body.
- This configuration of a cushioned body ensures that the human excrement reaches the tub underneath directly through these funnel-shaped recesses, so that the patient does not even come to rest in his own excrement.
- the mattress with individual curvatures between the funnel-shaped recesses, this wet lying is avoided, since channels always form underneath the patient, which ensure that the liquids run off, even if the funnel-shaped recesses are not arranged close together on the cushion body.
- the cushion body is provided on its lying side with a removable, net-like, liquid-repellent material.
- the covering increases the comfort of the bed, since this flattens the bed surface without, however, impairing the ventilation.
- the cushioned body made of resilient material is normally completely sufficient for the average of the patients to lie on; however, in some cases it may be necessary to make the support even more flexible, especially if the patient can only lie on one side.
- this problem is solved in that a spring core underlay is arranged between the cushion body and the tub.
- the function with regard to the ventilation and cleaning of the poster body is in no way reduced by this; it is rather the case that the ventilation of the upholstery body is further improved by this measure, since an even larger air layer is present under the upholstery body serving as a support and the tub base.
- the covering which can be connected to the cushion body in the manner of a tension cover, is removed and cleaned; the upholstered body itself cleaned with running water; the dirt gets into the tub under the upholstery.
- the cushion body or the cushion body with the spring core pad is tilted to the side, so that the tub is now freely accessible.
- the tub is provided with a drain.
- such a mattress can be used not only in hospitals and in the care of the elderly, but also in particular in the private sector for people who are allergic to house dust and house mites.
- the house dust mite nests in fibrous, textile areas, e.g. in the usual mattresses, and feeds on dander. Their excrement, rubbed as microfine dust, causes the allergic reactions. All conventional mattresses are therefore unsuitable for people with house dust allergies. Due to the type of surface, no house dust mites can settle in the upholstery body according to the invention. There is also no suitable nutrient medium for the mites, since the human skin flakes - the main foodstuff of the mite - cannot attach to or in the mattress, but rather get through the funnel-shaped recesses into the tub.
- the cushion body is denoted in the figures with 1 and 6, the tub with 2 and 8 respectively.
- the individual funnel-shaped recesses arranged in the cushion body 1, 6 serving as a support are designated 3 and 10, respectively. These funnel-shaped recesses 3, 10 are continuous on both sides, so that human excrement can pass through them into the tub. This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the connections 4 and 12 are curved between the individual funnel-shaped recesses 3, 10.
- a covering 5 or 11 made of skin-friendly material is located above the cushion body 1, 6, which has a liquid-impermeable material. This covering 5, 11 is connected to the upholstered body, for example in the manner of a fitted sheet, and is therefore removable.
- a spring core support designated by 9 which is connected to the cushion body.
- the tensioning elements of the spring mattress that connect the individual spiral springs are omitted.
- these are either made of stainless steel or galvanized, or the individual elements of the innerspring are coated with plastic.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Polsterkörper, z.B. für ein Bett für an Inkontinenz leidende Personen, wobei der Polsterkorper mit einem undurchlässigen Material behautet ist und eine einzige große trichterförmige Ausnehmung aufweist.The invention relates to a cushion body, e.g. for a bed for people suffering from incontinence, the upholstered body being skin-covered with an impermeable material and having a single large funnel-shaped recess.
Ein Polsterkörper der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der DE-PS 11 07 893 bekannt. Bei dem darin beschriebenen Polsterkörper handelt es sich um eine im wesentlichen bekannte Federkernmatratze, die mit einem undurchlässigen Material überzogen ist, und die etwa in ihrer Mitte eine große trichterförmige öffnung aufweist. Unter bzw. in dieser öffnung, befindet sich ein Behälter zur Aufnahme der vom Patienten abgegebenen Ausscheidungen.A cushion body of the type mentioned is known from DE-PS 11 07 893. The upholstered body described therein is an essentially known innerspring mattress which is covered with an impermeable material and which has a large funnel-shaped opening approximately in its center. Under or in this opening there is a container for receiving the excretions released by the patient.
Nachteilig an dieser bekannten Ausbildung einer Matratze ist, daß der Patient immer unmittelbar auf der öffnung der Matratze liegen muß, wenn die Matratze ihre Funktion erfüllen soll. Das Liegen auf der öffnung ist aus verständlichen Gründen äußerst unangenehm, so daß davon auszugehen ist, daß der Patient sich häufig nicht unmittelbar auf der öffnung, sondern daneben befindet. Die Ausscheidungen sammeln sich in diesem Falle aufgrund der durch das Körpergewicht in der Matratze gebildeten Kuhle in eben dieser Kuhle mit der Folge, daß der Patient naß liegt.A disadvantage of this known design of a mattress is that the patient must always lie directly on the opening of the mattress if the mattress is to perform its function. Lying on the opening is extremely uncomfortable for understandable reasons, so that it can be assumed that the patient is often not directly on the opening, but next to it. In this case, the excretions accumulate in this cavity due to the cavity formed by the body weight in the mattress, with the result that the patient lies wet.
Mit der aus der DE-PS 82 40 90 bekannten Matratze wird versucht, das Naßliegen von Patienten, und hier insbesondere von Säuglingen, durch den Einsatz einer aus gummiertem und gepreßtem Haar bestehenden Matratze zu vermeiden. Es wird hierbei davon ausgegangen, daß in die Matratze eindringende Feuchtigkeit unmittelbar wieder abgegeben wird. Dies ist jedoch unwahrscheinlich, denn durch das auf die Matratze einwirkende Gewicht des Patienten wird diese derart komprimiert, daß eintretende Flüssigkeit im wesentlichen darin verbleiben wird, bestenfalls jedoch eine Trocknung der Matratze nur sehr langsam erfolgt. Auch ist die Reinigung einer derart aufgebauten Matratze nur eingeschränkt möglich.With the mattress known from DE-PS 82 40 90 an attempt is made to avoid the wet lying of patients, and here in particular of infants, by using a mattress consisting of rubberized and pressed hair. It is assumed here that moisture penetrating into the mattress is immediately released again. However, this is unlikely, because the weight of the patient acting on the mattress compresses it in such a way that incoming liquid will remain essentially therein, but at best the mattress dries very slowly. The cleaning of a mattress constructed in this way is also possible only to a limited extent.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Polsterkörper, z.B. für ein Bett, zu schaffen, mit dem sichergestellt ist, daß eine an Inkontinenz leidende Person trocken liegt, und der von menschlichen Exkrementen auf einfache weise gesäubert werden kann, und der dennoch den gewohnten Liegekomfort, insbesondere hinsichtlich einer guten Durchlüftung bietet, wie dies auch bei einer herkömmlichen Matratze der Fall ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of a cushion body, e.g. for a bed, with which it is ensured that a person suffering from incontinence is dry, and which can be cleaned from human excrement in a simple manner, and which nevertheless offers the usual comfort, in particular with regard to good ventilation, as is also the case is the case with a conventional mattress.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Polsterkörper über die gesamte Oberfläche verteilt mehrere trichterförmige durchgehende Ausnehmungen aufweist, wobei der Polsterkörper zwischen den einzelnen trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen Wölbungen besitzt, und daß unter dem Polsterkörper eine sich über die Fläche des Polsterkörpers erstreckende Wanne angeordnet ist. Der Polsterkörper selbst kann aus einem nachgiebigen Material, z.B. Latex, Polyurethanschaum oder Integralschaum bestehen. Durch die trichterförmige Struktur ist eine ständige Zirkulation mit frischer Luft gewährleistet, obwohl der Polsterkörper selbst mit einem flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Material behautet ist, da die Lüftung durch die trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen in der Matratze erfolgt.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the cushion body has a plurality of funnel-shaped continuous recesses distributed over the entire surface, the cushion body having bulges between the individual funnel-shaped recesses, and in that a trough is arranged under the cushion body and extends over the surface of the cushion body. The cushion body itself can consist of a resilient material, for example latex, polyurethane foam or integral foam. Due to the funnel-shaped structure, there is constant circulation fresh air is guaranteed, even though the upholstered body itself is covered with a liquid-impermeable material, since ventilation takes place through the funnel-shaped recesses in the mattress.
Die Lüftung selbst wird noch dadurch verbessert, daß nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in der Wanne ein Rahmen angeordnet ist, der dafür sorgt, daß sich zwischen Wannenboden und Polsterkörper ein Luftpolster befindet.The ventilation itself is further improved in that, according to a further feature of the invention, a frame is arranged in the tub, which ensures that an air cushion is located between the tub floor and the cushion body.
Durch diese Ausbildung eines Polsterkörpers wird erreicht, daß die menschlichen Exkremente unmittelbar durch diese trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen auf die darunter befindliche Wanne gelangen, so daß der Patient nicht einmal in seine eigenen Exkremente zu liegen kommt. Insbesondere auch durch die Ausbildung der Matratze mit einzelnen Wölbungen zwischen den trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen wird dieses Naßliegen vermieden, da sich unter dem Patienten immer Kanäle bilden, die ein Ablaufen der Flüssigkeiten gewährleisten, selbst wenn die trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen nicht dicht an dicht auf dem Polsterkörper angeordnet sind.This configuration of a cushioned body ensures that the human excrement reaches the tub underneath directly through these funnel-shaped recesses, so that the patient does not even come to rest in his own excrement. In particular, by designing the mattress with individual curvatures between the funnel-shaped recesses, this wet lying is avoided, since channels always form underneath the patient, which ensure that the liquids run off, even if the funnel-shaped recesses are not arranged close together on the cushion body.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Polsterkörper auf seiner Liegeseite mit einem abnehmbaren, netzartigen, flüssigkeitsabweisenden Material versehen. Durch die Bespannung wird der Liegekomfort erhöht, da hierdurch die Liegefläche geebnet wird, ohne daß die Durchlüftung hierdurch jedoch beeinträchtigt wird.According to an advantageous embodiment, the cushion body is provided on its lying side with a removable, net-like, liquid-repellent material. The covering increases the comfort of the bed, since this flattens the bed surface without, however, impairing the ventilation.
Der Polsterkörper aus nachgiebigem Material ist im Normalfall für den Durchschnitt der Patienten als Liegeauflage völlig ausreichend; dennoch kann es in einzelnen Fällen notwendig sein, die Auflage noch nachgiebiger auszubilden, insbesondere dann, wenn die Patienten nur auf einer Seite liegen können.The cushioned body made of resilient material is normally completely sufficient for the average of the patients to lie on; however, in some cases it may be necessary to make the support even more flexible, especially if the patient can only lie on one side.
Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform wird dieses Problem dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen Polsterkörper und Wanne eine Federkernunterlage angeordnet ist. Die Funktion in bezug auf die Durchlüftung und Säuberung des Posterkörpers wird hierdurch in keinem Fall vermindert; es ist vielmehr eher so, daß die Durchlüftung des Polsterkörpers durch diese Maßnahme noch verbessert wird, da unter dem als Auflage dienenden Polsterkörper und dem Wannenboden eine noch größere Luftschicht vorhanden ist.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, this problem is solved in that a spring core underlay is arranged between the cushion body and the tub. The function with regard to the ventilation and cleaning of the poster body is in no way reduced by this; it is rather the case that the ventilation of the upholstery body is further improved by this measure, since an even larger air layer is present under the upholstery body serving as a support and the tub base.
Im Falle der Verschmutzung wird die Bespannung, die nach Art eines Spannbezuges mit dem Polsterkörper verbunden sein kann, abgenommen und gereinigt; der Polsterkörper selbst mit fließendem Wasser gesäubert; der Schmutz gelangt hierbei in die unter dem Polsterkörper befindliche Wanne. Zur Säuberung der Wanne wird der Polsterkörper bzw. der Polsterkörper mit der Federkernunterlage zur Seite gekippt, so daß die Wanne nunmehr frei zugänglich ist. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Wanne mit einem Abfluß versehen.In the event of soiling, the covering, which can be connected to the cushion body in the manner of a tension cover, is removed and cleaned; the upholstered body itself cleaned with running water; the dirt gets into the tub under the upholstery. To clean the tub, the cushion body or the cushion body with the spring core pad is tilted to the side, so that the tub is now freely accessible. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the tub is provided with a drain.
Schlußendlich ist noch zu bemerken, daß eine derartige Matratze nicht nur im Krankenhaus und in der Altenpflege zum Einsatz kommen kann, sondern insbesondere auch im privaten Bereich bei Personen, die gegen Hausstaub und Hausmilben allergisch sind.Finally, it should also be noted that such a mattress can be used not only in hospitals and in the care of the elderly, but also in particular in the private sector for people who are allergic to house dust and house mites.
Die Hausstaubmilbe nistet in faserigen, textilen Bereichen, also z.B. in den üblichen Matratzen, und ernährt sich von Hautschuppen. Ihre Exkremente, als mikrofeiner Staub verrieben, bewirken die allergischen Reaktionen. Alle herkömmlichen Matratzen sind deswegen für Hausstauballergiker ungeeignet. In dem erfindungsgemäßen Polsterkörper können sich, bedingt durch die Art der Oberfläche, keine Hausstaubmilben festsetzen. Es fehlt darüber hinaus auch an einem geeigneten Nährboden für die Milben, da sich die menschlichen Hautschuppen -das Hauptnahrungsmittel der Milbe- nicht auf bzw. in der Matratze festsetzen können, sondern vielmehr durch die trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen in die Wanne gelangen.The house dust mite nests in fibrous, textile areas, e.g. in the usual mattresses, and feeds on dander. Their excrement, rubbed as microfine dust, causes the allergic reactions. All conventional mattresses are therefore unsuitable for people with house dust allergies. Due to the type of surface, no house dust mites can settle in the upholstery body according to the invention. There is also no suitable nutrient medium for the mites, since the human skin flakes - the main foodstuff of the mite - cannot attach to or in the mattress, but rather get through the funnel-shaped recesses into the tub.

Der Polsterkörper ist in den Figuren mit 1 bzw. 6, die Wanne mit 2 bzw. 8 bezeichnet. Die einzelnen in dem als Auflage dienenden Polsterkörper 1, 6 angeordneten trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen sind mit 3 bzw. 10 bezeichnet. Diese trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen 3, 10 sind zu beiden Seiten hin durchgängig, so daß die menschlichen Exkremente durch diese hindurch bis in die Wanne gelangen können. Dieser Effekt wird noch dadurch verstärkt, daß die Verbindungen 4 bzw. 12 zwischen den einzelnen trichterförmigen Ausnehmungen 3, 10 gewölbt sind. über dem mit einem flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Material behauteten Polsterkörper 1, 6 befindet sich eine Bespannung 5 bzw. 11 aus hautfreundlichem Material. Diese Bespannung 5, 11 ist beispielsweise nach Art eines Spannbettuchs mit dem Polsterkörper verbunden und ist daher abnehmbar.The cushion body is denoted in the figures with 1 and 6, the tub with 2 and 8 respectively. The individual funnel-shaped recesses arranged in the
Auf dem Wannenboden befindet sich nach der ersten Ausführungsform ein Rahmen 13, der dafür sorgt, daß sich zwischen Wanne 2 und Polsterkörper 1 ein Luftpolster ausbildet (Fig. 2).According to the first embodiment, there is a
Nach einer in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellten zweiten Ausführungsform befindet sich zwischen dem mit 6 bezeichneten Polsterkörper und der mit 8 bezeichneten Wanne eine mit 9 bezeichnete Federkernunterlage, die mit dem Polsterkörper verbunden ist. In der schematischen Darstellung sind die die einzelnen Spiralfedern verbindenden Spannelemente der Federkernmatratze weggelassen.According to a second embodiment, shown schematically in FIG. 3, between the cushion body designated by 6 and the trough designated by 8 there is a spring core support designated by 9, which is connected to the cushion body. In the schematic illustration, the tensioning elements of the spring mattress that connect the individual spiral springs are omitted.
Um Rostansatz an der Federkernunterlage zu verhindern, sind diese entweder aus rostfreiem Stahl hergestellt oder verzinkt, oder die einzelnen Elemente der Federkernunterlage sind mit Kunststoff beschichtet.To prevent rust from forming on the innerspring, these are either made of stainless steel or galvanized, or the individual elements of the innerspring are coated with plastic.
Zur besseren Reinigung der Wanne 2, 8 ist diese jeweils mit einem Abfluß 14, 15 versehen.For better cleaning of the
