Definitions
- the utility model is a bed insert equipped with air-mattress by means of which a lying or if necessary sitting piece of furniture can be created with adjustable rigidity and the condition of which is kept also after being used for a long period.
- the main characteristic of the mattresses is the lying surface ensured for the person using it.
- the lying surface - depending on the type of the load-bearing construction - can have different springiness and rigidity as required by the user. According to the actual state of technology there are several different solutions regarding the inner load-bearing construction of beds.
- a well-known solution for lying surfaces is the water-bed, in the case of which the lying as well as load-bearing surface of the bed is solved by means of a flexible tank filled with water.
- This type of solution is published also in the publication document PCT No. WO 89/12414.
- the springiness of the water-bed can be set by adjusting the water pressure of the tank.
- the disadvantages of the water-bed is temperature stability and the inhibition of currents in the tank have to be solved, and the long usage of this type of mattress can be damaging to health.
- patent No. US 5 170 522 and FR 73.08729 introduces a bed which was produced using an air-mattress. Its drawback is that it is a complex and intricate structure. The air-mattress, used in this type of bed, does not make possible the universal and bed-independent usage.
- the bed insert contains one or more double air sealing, cells divided air-mattress(es), which surrounded by foam stiffeners, and above the air mattress(es) there is an upper foam layer, and the bed insert is fitted with a practical outer cover as well.
- the utility model is a bed insert equipped with an air-mattress and this bed insert has a load-bearing structure built-up by the use of one or more air-mattress(es).
- the bed insert contains double air sealing, cells divided air mattress(es), which surrounded by lateral foam stiffeners, and above the air-mattress(es) there is an upper foam layer, and the bed insert is supplied with an outer cover.
- the inner side of the lateral foam stiffeners are arched-shaped and they are equipped with cross ribs, and the horizontal size of the lateral foam stiffeners has to be at least 8 cm.
- the bed insert according to the model to be seen in figure 1. shows the segment of a possible structural design.
- the figure 1. shows the air-layers (1) which are surrounded by the lateral foam stiffeners (2), and between them there is a middle foam stiffener (3). Above the air-mattresses (1) there is the upper foam layer (4), and under them there is a bottom foam layer (5).
- the bed insert designed in this way is fitted with an outer cover (6).
- the bed insert to be seen in the figure 1. includes two air-mattresses (1) in an asymmetrical lay-out, the mattress, to be found on the left side, is narrower and the right one is broader.
- the lay-out has different rigidity on the left and right side, and the result of this is a dynamic type lying surface.
- the figure 2 shows the perspective drawing of the inner design of the utility model.
- the air-mattresses (1) to be seen are surrounded by lateral foam stiffeners (2), and between them there is a middle foam stiffener (3).
- the outer cover (6) of the bed insert is to be seen also in section.
- the air-mattresses (1) When lying on the mattress, the air-mattresses (1) will be squeezed in a mainly lateral direction, so it is important to assure the expansion possibility in a lateral direction. This can be achieved by the appropriate formation of the inner side of the lateral foam stiffeners (2), which makes possible the displacement in a lateral direction by means of the appropriate design of the inner side.
- One of the designs of the model bed insert has the following sizes: the width of the lateral foam stiffeners (2) is 8....20 cm, the thickness of the upper foam layer (4) is 0.5....10 cm. The whole thickness of the bed insert is 15....25 cm. It is possible to apply air-mattresses on the two sides of the bed having different thickness, as this type of design makes possible the formation of a lying surface with an asymmetrical shape, different springiness and rigidity.
- the air inlet to the air-mattresses (1) is solved by a filling tube built into the bed insert.
- the other solution is when there is slot made in the mattress which makes access possible to the filling opening of the air-mattress (1) and which can be opened and closed by the well-known methods, for example by Velcro, zip fastener, press studs.
- the air-mattresses (1) used in the model bed insert are treated with ageing retarder and they are advantageously perfumed.
- the mattress in the case of a concrete formation, can be used for making a sitting surface.
- the air-mattress (1) has to be used in the required size.
- the bed insert has adjustable rigidity, and in a special case, the rigidity of the bed insert can be dissimilar in different parts of the lying surface.
- the springiness of the bed insert will not change during its usage period, and there is no concaving on the surface even after a long time of usage because of the property of the air-mattress.
- Further advantage is that it can be widely applied, as well as the bed can be shaped depending on different requirements.
