Definitions
- the present invention aims to overcome this disadvantage. This object is achieved by the combination of features of the claims.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an air mattress
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the mattress of Fig. 1, and
- FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V in Fig. 4th
- the air mattress shown in the drawings has an upper side 1, an approximately flat lower side 2, an end side 3 on the head side, an end side 4 on the foot side and two side surfaces 5.
- the upper side 1 has an approximately spaced apart from both end sides 3, 4 flat, approximately parallel to the underside 2 middle area 6 for resting the chest and stomach of a lying person.
- the top 1 has an arcuate depression with a support 9 for the forehead.
- the support 9 is deeper than the central region 6.
- the end region 10 surrounding the support 9 is the same height as or slightly higher than the central region 6.
- a channel 7 extends between the support 9 and the central region 6
- REPLACEMENT LEAF transversely between the side surfaces 5, the base 8 of which is deeper than the support 9.
- a depression 11 for receiving the legs extends over part of the width of the mattress.
- the foot-side end of the trough 11 and the two side regions 12 on the side of the trough 11 are of the same height as the central region 6.
- the central region 6 has a bevel 13 on both sides towards the channel 7.
- the top 1 and bottom 2 are connected to one another in a conventional manner by longitudinal and / or transverse walls and / or by tubular intermediate pieces and / or by stitching. Of these connections, a transverse wall 15 in the trough 11 is shown only schematically. Of course, the top and bottom 1, 2 between these connections are slightly bulged. The previously used term "just" is to be understood accordingly.
- the described design of the air mattress means that one can lie completely relaxed on the upper side 1 on the stomach. Due to the lower position of the support 9, the cervical spine is noticeably relieved; this completely avoids neck pain. The entire face (with the exception of the forehead), in particular the nose, is kept clear through channel 7 and fresh air flows around it. This enables completely unimpeded breathing and prevents or at least significantly reduces sweating on the face, where it is most unpleasant. Through the trough 11, the legs are slightly angled. This results in an unstressed, naturally curved spine (not a "hollow cross"), which prevents back pain
- the trough 11 also has the advantage that the feet can be held in their natural position by the inclination of the lower legs and the toes do not touch the ground. This prevents foot and toe pain.
- the bevels 13 ensure that the arms can be conveniently placed on the side of the mattress, because they are slightly angled, both to the front and to the rear (tanning the underside of the arms).
- the air mattress is also to be used in water, it may be expedient to partially or completely close off the air duct 7 laterally by means of webs 14, which is indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 4 and 5. This ensures that the nose can be kept dry and the mattress is more stable.
- the trough 11 as indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 5 — has the same depth 16 in its entire extent, this depth approximately corresponding to the distance that the base 8 of the channel 7 from the top 6. This not only prevents the user's thighs and lower legs from resting on the mattress and thus an increased sweating of the legs, but also gives the mattress a simpler, harmonious appearance.
- the air mattress according to the invention not only prevents but also alleviates discomfort when lying in the prone position. Because the anatomically correct shape of the mattress is one
- the mattress is a real help especially for those suffering from back and rheumatism. Even people with only "weak” backs - which quickly tire and hurt - will greet the new mattress for occasional rest.
- the mattress can be used very well as a bed cover, on the coutsch or anywhere else in the apartment.

Abstract
La surface (1) de ce matelas comporte une partie médiane approximativement plane (6) supportant la poitrine et le ventre d'une personne couchée, ainsi que, dans une partie de tête (10) un évidement avec appui (9) pour le front. Entre la partie de tête (10) et la partie médiane s'étend un canal transversal (7). Du côté pied, prolongeant la partie médiane, s'étend une cuvette (11) pour la réception des jambes. Cette conception permet d'être couché confortablement sur le ventre, tout en respirant librement.The surface (1) of this mattress has an approximately flat middle part (6) supporting the chest and stomach of a lying person, as well as, in a head part (10), a recess with support (9) for the forehead . Between the head part (10) and the middle part extends a transverse channel (7). On the foot side, extending the middle part, extends a basin (11) for receiving the legs. This design allows you to lie comfortably on your stomach, while breathing freely.
