Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bed in which an air flow is carried out in a closed circuit. to improve the well-being of the extended body.
  • the bed plan takes flexibility that allows it to deform in anatomical movement, conforming to the profile of the extended body, so as to ensure the functions which, normally are provided by the mattress.
  • the mattress is reduced to a mat of a few centimeters, therefore facilitating the innovative application which achieves the object of the present invention, which is to further increase the well-being of rest by eliminating the discomfort caused by variations in the microclimate, such as excessively high or low temperatures, the excessive or too low humidity level, which is established between the cover and the mattress.
  • the air contained in the part central of the intermediate space delimited by the cover bordered on the mattress, that located in the area of the extended body, is first of all sucked outwards, through holes made centrally in the mattress, and then returned inside said intermediate space, through holes made in the lateral parts of the mattress.
  • the first bedroom placed in the region of the central part of the bed plan, is provided a vacuum cleaner with low suction height, which ensures the suction of the air surrounding the body at rest, while the second chamber, placed along the two edges longitudinal of the mattress, provides backflow of previously sucked air in the intermediate space.
  • the central chamber and the two side chambers are advantageously interposed with filters, humidifiers and thermoregulators which improve the characteristics of recirculating air by adapting to external ambient conditions or to the requirements of the person rests.
  • a central chamber 3 and two side chambers 4 'and 4' ' which extend longitudinally over the entire length of the mattress, except in the pillow support area.
  • Said chambers will be put in communication, via a plurality of central 5 and lateral 6 'and 6' 'holes, with the intermediate space 7 delimited by the cover 8 which covers the body 9 and which is bordered on your sides of the mattress 1.
  • a vacuum cleaner 10 which sucks through the plurality of holes 5 made in the central part of the mattress 1, the air which occupies the central part of the intermediate space, practically that which is in contact with the body 9 at rest.
  • the sucked air is sent, through the ducts 11 'and 11' ', to the two lateral chambers 4 'and 4' 'and from there it returns to the intermediate space 7 through the plurality of holes side 6 'and 6' '.
  • the possibility is also provided for the air flow to condition the bed surface even when the blanket is fully applied to the mattress, so that, even in the absence of the intermediate space 7, one can have the same air recirculation or the same air flow.
  • microchannels 14 formed on the upper surface of the mattress 1, which connect lateral holes 6 to central holes 5, said microchannels being open at the top so that the air flow is spread between the cover and the mattress or between sheets (see Figure 2).
  • the mattress which is an integral part of the air recirculation in closed circuit, either perforated in the vertical direction in two or more than two separate zones from each other to ensure continuity of flow with separate underlying chambers, and be of minimal thickness to avoid that said air passage holes become blocked with the deformation of the mattress, and also to make the most of the elasticity of the slats.
