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.
