Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mattress for beds, bed-settees and the like.
  • the patent concerns a manually inflatable and deflatable air mattress, presenting structural and aesthetic characteristics very similar to those of traditional mattresses made in foam rubber or sprung.
  • One of of the problems solved by the above-mentioned traditional mattresses is to enable a multiplicity thereof to be transported with a minimum resultant overall mass, leading, obviously to a containment of costs of transport, and facilitating the delivery of such mattresses to a customer's home.
  • These mattresses are packed by being rolled and at the same time compressed to result in a reduction of mass.
  • the packing of the mattress is carried out by initially reducing the depth thereof using means for pressing, and subsequently, before rolling the mattress, covering it with a sheath which conserves said mattress in its compressed state.
  • the mattresses are unpacked, unrolled and allowed to expand to normal size at their destination.
  • the aim of the present invention is thus to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a mattress for beds and the like which can be easily transported at any time and which, even after first use, can be returned to its initial small dimensions, for example so that it can be stored in a closet.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to obtain a mattress which can be adjusted to suit the degree of firmness required by a user.
  • the invention solves the problem by providing a mattress for a bed or the like, which from a general point of view is characterized in that it comprises:
  • 1 denotes in its entirety a mattress for a bed or bed-settee or the like.
  • the mattress 1 comprises a covering 2 made in a stitched textile material, shaped in a form of a mattress, which covering 2 is constituted by an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4 and a perimetral band 5 which is connected at one edge thereof to the upper surface 3 and and another edge thereof to the lower surface 4, by means of usual relief stitching for edges.
  • each layer of padding comprises a plurality of strati of padding, each stratus exhibiting different chemical-physical characteristics.
  • each of the at least a layer of padding 7a is fixed to the bladder 6 by means of an odourless glue and to the upper surface 3 of the covering 2 by means of stitching 17; also, each of the at least a layer of padding 7b is fixed to said bladder by means of an odourless glue and to the lower surface 4 of the covering 2 by means of stitching 17.
  • each at least a layer of padding 7a and each at least a layer of padding 7b is constituted (starting from the contact surface with the bladder 6) by a first layer of cloth 12, a second layer of rubber or resin 14 and a third layer of padding material 13.
  • Figure 4 shows how the mattress 1 with the bladder 6 deflated exhibits a depth of small volume such as to permit said mattress 1 to be rolled and tied in that state by means of a strip 15, and thus to be easily transportable.
  • Said one or more valve 8 is accessible through an aperture 9 present at at least a portion of said perimetral band 5 of the covering 2, which aperture 9 is provided with means for closing, which in figure 2 are represented by a zip.
  • the bladder 6 exhibits also internally a plurality of transversal compartments 16 arranged in such a way as to facilitate a uniform inflating of the mattress 1.
  • the one or more valve 8 can be addressed by means of a normal hand pump in order to increase or reduce the firmness of the mattress, by adjusting the degree of inflation thereof, in order to obtain a desired anatomical characteristic.
