Definitions

  • the invention is related to an interior for a mattress, comprising rows of springs positioned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the interior and connected to one another in at least two series, which springs run parallel to one another transversely to the plane defined by the series, wherein at most two types of springs are used and the stiffness of the one type of springs differs from the stiffness of the other type of springs such that at least one series has springs which have a spring stiffness that differs from the spring stiffness of the springs in another series.
  • Such interior is known from AU-B-35065/89.
  • a zoning the aim of which is to improve the comfort of the mattress.
  • at least three zones are used, the mid zone of which has springs of a greater stiffness.
  • Said mid zone is in the region of the relatively heavy part of the body.
  • the transition between two zones is made more comfortable by providing a bed base which has different zones as well.
  • a bed base which has different zones as well.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to provide an interior for a mattress with which a gradual transition between the zones of different stiffness can be obtained without supplementary components or increases in costs. Said aim is achieved in that there are at least three successive rows at the location of the transition between the at least two series, the springs in each row having an identical stiffness, the mid row of said three successive rows having springs with a spring stiffness that differs from the spring stiffness of the springs in the adjacent rows.
  • the interior according to the invention has a transition region which provides a gradual transition between two zones of unequal stiffness, without additional costs being incurred as a result. A saving in costs can even be made because the pressure distributor can be thinner or can even be omitted completely.
  • the transition region then in fact consists of the four successive rows of spring elements, alternating rows having a different stiffness.
  • a larger transition region can be formed if there are six successive rows at the location of the transition between the at least two series and each of these rows has springs of a spring stiffness that differs from the spring stiffness of the springs in an adjacent row.
  • the interior can comprise three zones, each consisting of a series of rows of a specific spring stiffness.
  • the two transitions occurring in this arrangement can each be constructed with a transition region as described above.
  • each row comprises a strip of flexible material that is divided into pockets, one spring being accommodated in each pocket.
  • the invention also relates to a mattress made of a flexible material, such as foam material, and a cover. Since the transitions between the zones have a gradually changing stiffness it is no longer necessary to fit a pressure distributor, so that the cover adjoins the interior by means of a layer which improves comfort, such as a foam layer. Such a foam layer is relatively soft and is not primarily intended as a pressure distributor.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that, on the one hand, the costs of such an interior can remain restricted and that, on the other hand, the desired zoning with a gradual transition between the different stiffness zones can nevertheless be obtained.
  • the interior for a mattress shown in Fig. 1 is made up of three series 3, 4, which each consist of rows 1, 2 of springs 5, 6 connected to one another.
  • the springs 5, 6 are each accommodated in a pocket 14 which is formed by a continuous flexible cover 13.
  • This flexible cover 13 is divided into the separate pockets 14 by means of joins 15.
  • the springs 5, 6 of the mid series 4 have a greater spring stiffness than the springs 5, 6 of the outer series 3.
  • the relatively heavy part of the human body at the location of the hips does not give rise to excessive compression in the interior.
  • the shoulders, on the other hand, are supported by relatively flexible springs, so that the compression can be greater at this location, which is beneficial for comfort.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that this fluid transition is obtained without additional structural elements or without springs of a different stiffness.
  • the advantage is, furthermore, that the production of the interior can still take place normally on the assembly machines already available for this purpose. These machines can now be so programmed that the relevant rows 9, 10 are changed compared with the earlier construction of the interior.
  • Fig. 1 is made up of springs 5, 6 which are accommodated in the flexible cover 13, the invention is not restricted to this.
  • the springs can also be attached to one another by means of clips or the like. Any interior in which rows of springs are combined to form series falls within the scope of the invention.
