Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of suspension support mattress.
- the mattress support has a box spring which rests in a bed frame or on legs.
- the box spring can be fixed or articulated.
- the bed base In the case where the bed base is fixed, it consists of a frame rigid which supports flexible slats or cleats on which suspension springs are fitted.
- This rigid frame can be equipped, at its angles, with feet resting on the ground, or it can rest in a bedstead or bed frame fitted with legs.
- the bed base In the case where the bed base is articulated, it is mounted on a frame of bed resting on feet.
- the base Whether the base is slatted or sprung, it ensures occasional suspensions in association with the mattress.
- the elements elastic of the mattress and box spring deform in such a way that the upper face of the mattress follows the shape of the bodies of occupants, which ensures comfort.
- the elastic elements of the box spring and mattress under this occupant are subject to multidirectional variable forces whose components horizontal are transmitted step by step to the elements neighboring elastic bands.
- the object of the invention is to provide a mattress support which can transmit the variations of the forces undergone by the mattress and the bed base to an external suspension system on the mattress and box spring, and thus minimize the drawbacks mentioned above.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the support of mattress is mounted floating above the ground.
- the invention relates to a mattress support comprising a rigid rectangular frame resting at its angles on feet, characterized in that the feet consist of elastic balloons ensuring the suspension of said support.
- rigid rectangular frame means either a bed frame, a bedstead, or a slatted base, or a boxspring, either a metal box spring, or even a rectangular panel on which the mattress rests.
- the variations in the forces undergone by elastic elements of the mattress during movement of an occupant of the bed are transmitted via the support to the balloons. It's like that in particular horizontal efforts or sudden variations in vertical efforts.
- the entire mattress then oscillates in unison with the bed frame. The movement of an occupant of the bed thus causes a rocking, conducive to the sleep of other occupants.
- the thickness of the elastic elements of mattress can be greatly diminished, since their only function is to conform to the body shapes of the occupants of the bed, and the box spring traditional with slats or springs can be advantageously replaced by a rigid plate resting on four balloons arranged under its angles.
- each balloon The flattened ellipsoid shape of each balloon, the poles of which lodge in correspondence in cavities of the base and the frame, ensures positively a stable position of the mattress support. Following horizontal movement of the mattress support, the axis of each balloon will oscillate around a vertical axis.
- the ability to change the pressure in each balloon allows the stiffness of each balloon to be adjusted according to the weight and the morphology of the occupants of the bed.
- the reference 1 designates a mattress which rests on a support of mattress consisting, in the example shown in the drawings, of a tray rigid 2 rectangular with slightly larger dimensions than those of the mattress 1.
- the rigid plate 2 rests on four balloons elastic 3, themselves resting on the corners of a base 4 which has substantially the same dimensions and configuration as the rigid platform 2.
- the base 4 has four corner feet 5 which rest on the ground.
- the base 4 and the rigid plate 2 are spaced vertically and are connected at their angles by means of the four balloons elastic 3.
- Each of these balloons 3 has the shape of an ellipsoid of revolution around a vertical axis 6, and is slightly flattened in region 7a of the upper pole 7 and in the region 8a of the lower pole 8.
- Each balloon 3 is constituted by an elastic envelope 3a and is filled air, gel, foam, oil or other, to reach the characteristics of a damped suspension and the internal pressure of each balloon 3 can be optionally adjusted or controlled by the user.
- the pressures inside the four balloons 3 can be identical or different depending on the device for varying pressure used. It is preferable that the pressures of the balloons can be set separately, to allow adjustment of the characteristics of the springs equivalent to balloons 3 as a function of the morphology of the occupants of the bed.
- the regions 7a and 8a of the upper 7 and lower 8 poles house respectively in cavities 9 and 10 formed in the faces in opposite the rigid plate 2 and the base 4 near their angles. So, the region 7a of the upper pole 7 is housed in a cavity 9 formed in the lower face 2a of the rigid plate 2, and the region 8a of the pole lower 8 accommodates in the cavity 10 formed in the upper face 4a from the base 4.
- the cavities 9 and 10 are delimited by concave surfaces of revolution around axis 6, substantially complementary to surfaces of regions 7a and 8a of poles 7 and 8.
- the regions 7a and 8a are fixed in the cavities 9 and 10 by collage.
- the rigid plate 2 has in each of its angles and under its lower face 2 has a protuberance 11 in which the cavity 9.
- This protuberance 11 can be an integral part of the plate rigid 2 or be constituted by an attached part fixed under the rigid plate 2 by any appropriate means.
- the base 4 has in each of its angles and on its upper face 4a a protuberance 12 in which is provided the cavity 10.
- This protuberance 12 can be part integral with the base 4 or be constituted by an added part.
- the four balloons 3 rest on four protuberances 12 secured to the base 4.
- the base 4 could be removed, without going out of the scope of the invention.
- the four balloons 3 would rest on individual bases each formed by a protrusion 12 resting directly on the ground.
- the corners of the rigid plate 2 and the base 4 and the walls of the protrusions 11 and 12 are rounded. This what matters is that the cavities 9 and 10 are dimensioned to prevent the balloons from escaping 3.
- the rigid plate 2 has on its upper face 2b a periphery 13 slightly raised.
- the technical function of this rim 13 is to allow a precise positioning of the mattress 1 on the rigid plate 2.
- the mattress support is consisting of a rigid plate 2.
- This arrangement provides support ideal for the back of the occupants of the bed.
- the flexibility of the bed is given by elastic balloons 3.
- This mattress support could also be constituted by a rigid frame, taking up the periphery 13 of the plate rigid 2 and the protrusions 11, on which a box spring would be mounted fixed or articulated, with slats, springs, or straps, without leaving the frame of the invention.
