Abstract

The container (5) for the air cushions of an inflatable mattress is made from foam material. It comprises an open frame (7, 8) with a top cover panel (6) below which the air cushions are fitted. An Independent claim is included for a textile cover for air cushions which prevents them from sticking when they slide over each other.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen inneren Gleitbezug und eine Schaumeinfassung für ein Luftbett. Der Gleitbezug ermöglicht im Falle von mehreren unabhängigen inneren Luftkammern, ein ungehindertes Gleiten der Luftkammern untereinander. Ebenfalls wird ein abnutzungsfreies Gleiten der darüber liegenden Schaumschale auf der Luftkammer ermöglicht. Die Schaumeinfassung fasst hält die inneren Luftammern zusammen und ermöglicht durch ihre Sitzkante ein bequemes Ein- und Aussteigen in das Bett.The invention relates to an inner sliding cover and a Foam surround for an air bed. The sliding cover enables in In the case of multiple independent internal air chambers, one unhindered Sliding the air chambers with each other. Also a wear-free sliding of the overlying foam shell on the Air chamber allows. The foam surround holds the inner one Air chambers together and thanks to their seat edge enables a comfortable Getting in and out of bed.

Der Gleitbezug besteht aus Gewebe oder Gewirke und kann in Art eines Spannbettlakens mit Elast ausgerüstet sein. Eine oder mehrere unabhängige innere Luftkammern werden damit eingefasst. Ein behinderungs- und haftungsfreies Gleiten der Luftkammern untereinander, insbesondere an den sich berührenden Stirnseiten, sowie ein abnutzungsfreies Gleiten der über der Luftkammer liegenden Schaumeinfassung wird dadurch gewährleistet. Es können auch mehrere Luftkammern mit Gleitbezügen ausgrüstet werden.The slip cover consists of woven or knitted fabric and can be art a fitted sheet with elast. One or more independent inner air chambers are enclosed. On the air chambers slide freely between each other, especially on the touching end faces, as well as a wear-free sliding of the foam enclosure over the air chamber is guaranteed. You can also have several Air chambers can be equipped with sliding covers.

Die Schaumeinfassung in der Art einer Schale besteht aus einer Deckplatte aus Schaumstoff mit angeleimten Rahmenelementen die einen äusseren Rahmen bilden. Die Schaumeinfassung wird mit der Deckplatte oben, über die Luftkammer(n) gestülpt und fasst die Luftkammer(n) ein. Die Unterseite bleibt offen, bzw. wird von der (den) Luftkammer(n) abgeschlossen. Die Schaumeinfassung kann in der Deckplatte und in den Rahmenseiten mit Lüftungslöchern versehen sein.The foam enclosure in the manner of a bowl consists of one Foam cover plate with glued frame elements some form the outer frame. The foam surround comes with the cover plate above, placed over the air chamber (s) and holds the air chamber (s) on. The bottom remains open, or is from the Air chamber (s) closed. The foam surround can be in the Cover plate and ventilation holes in the frame sides his.

Fig. 1 zeigt die Ansicht von mehreren (in diesem Falle 3) separaten inneren Luftkammern eines Luftbettes (1,2,3). Eine oder mehrere Luftkammern, bevorzugt die Mittlere, wird in einen Gleitbezug eingefasst (grau gerastert dargestellt). Der Gleitbezug fasst die Luftkammer ein und ist in der Art eines Spannbettlakens unten offen. Alle Luftkammern werden aussen von einer Schaumeinfassung und/oder einem Matratzenbezug (4) zusammengehalten.Fig. 1 shows the view of several (in this case 3) separate inner air chambers of an air bed (1,2,3). One or several air chambers, preferably the middle one, are integrated into one Bordered cover (shown with a gray grid). The slip cover surrounds the air chamber and is like a fitted sheet open at the bottom. All air chambers are surrounded by a foam surround and / or a mattress cover (4) held together.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Ansicht und den Querschnitt der Schaumeinfassung (5) die eine oder mehrere innere Luftkammern eines Luftbettes einfasst. Die Schale aus Schaumstoff oder ähnlichem Material besteht aus einem Schaumrahmen der aus je 2 Längs- (7) und Querbalken (8) zusammengesetzt ist. Auf diese 4 Rahmenteile ist eine Deckplatte, ebenfalls aus Schaumstoff oder ähnlichem Material aufgeleimt. Diese Schale wird über eine oder mehrere Luftkammern gestülpt, die den freien Raum der Schale (9) ausfüllen. Diese Einheit wird gegebenenfalls durch einen Matratzenbezug auf allen Seiten eingefasst.Fig. 2 shows the view and the cross section of the foam enclosure (5) the one or more inner air chambers of an air bed borders. The shell is made of foam or similar material from a foam frame consisting of 2 longitudinal (7) and crossbeams (8) is composed. On these 4 frame parts is a cover plate, also glued from foam or similar material. This The shell is placed over one or more air chambers, which the Fill the empty space of the bowl (9). This unit, if applicable bordered on all sides by a mattress cover.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht das Gleiten von mehreren Luftkammern (Fig 1. 1,2,3) im Inneren eines Luftbettes, insbesondere an den sich berührenden Stirnseiten ohne dass diese dort aneinader haften und sich gegenseitig verschieben. Die Schaumeinfassung (Fig. 2) hält die Luftkammern zusammen, bildet eine Sitzkante und ermöglicht dadurch ein einfaches Ein- und Aussteigen in das Bett.The invention allows multiple air chambers to slide (Fig. 1, 2, 3) inside an air bed, especially at the touching end faces without sticking together there and shift each other. The foam surround (Fig. 2) holds the Air chambers together, forms a seat edge and thereby enables easy getting in and out of bed.
