Definitions

  • the invention relates to mattresses and seats, and more generally to seat supports or sleeping that would be done using systems flexible.
  • the seat support according to the invention differs therefrom by the fact that the spheres are connected to each other others and form at least one layer of spheres juxtaposed.
  • the spheres of a tablecloth are applied against each other others according to a rectangular grid, or even according to a triangular frame.
  • the spheres are full and formed of a core and an outer coating, at least one of two being of flexible and elastic material.
  • the spheres are inflated balls.
  • Figure 1 an exploded perspective view, showing several layers of flexible weft spheres rectangular.
  • Figure 2 a plan view of a sheet of spheres to rectangular frame.
  • Figure 3 a plan view of a sheet of spheres to triangular frame.
  • Figure 1 a frame of mattress, consisting of a plurality of flexible spheres 1 connected to each other by gluing.
  • a frame of mattress consisting of a plurality of flexible spheres 1 connected to each other by gluing.
  • the tablecloth A is produced by the juxtaposition of 1A spheres in a square, i.e. the spheres form rows and columns placed side by side, each sphere being applied against a sphere in the row and from the neighboring column, according to a rectangular grid, as seen more precisely in Figure 2.
  • a space 2 is provided between each of the four spheres neighbors of tablecloth A.
  • the tablecloth B is made in the same way, but it is offset from the tablecloth A, so that the spheres 1B are housed in the spaces 2 of the sheet A. Each sphere 1B is thus supported against four spheres of tablecloth A, which contributes to the nesting tablecloths between them.
  • the tablecloth C is identical and also offset by relation to the tablecloth B, so that the nesting of the spheres 1C in the spheres 1B is done in the same way.
  • each tablecloth is juxtaposed according to a triangular grid, space 2 being delimited by three neighboring spheres.
  • the upper layers are also offset as in the previous example for overlap one into the other.
  • the diameter and firmness of the spheres allow make more or less flexible structures, and possibly variable on the surface of the mattress.
  • the spheres in question are solid spheres, realized in a homogeneous material, for example foam. They can also be made of a flexible core and elastic, covered with a hard cap or membrane a thick flexible envelope. So, one or the other, at least, from the core and its outer coating, is it made of flexible and elastic material.
  • the spheres can also be inflated balls, like tennis balls. They are carried out individually or are pre-assembled in strings or in plates. Their bonding to each other occurs at points of tangency. Instead of a collage, we can also assemble by clipping, or connect them by wires, or still house them in nets or bags forming rosaries.
  • the tablecloths of spheres used are in number variable according to the desired thickness of the support.
  • the structure thus formed can serve as a basis for manufacture of mattresses, box springs, seats etc. ...
