Definitions

  • the invention relates to mattress systems for beds according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.
  • the two-mattress system consisting of top mattress and under mattress, is one of the oldest and most trusted sleeping systems in the world. Both mattresses have different, excellent complementary properties.
  • the mattress is in direct contact with the human body. She has to adapt to the sleeper individually, precisely and uncompromisingly.
  • Optimum properties are the mattresses with pocket spring core, especially when the hardness of the pocket springs is tailored to the weight distribution and shape of the body of the sleeper.
  • Such mattresses also need a customized pad.
  • Widely used as a mattress pad are the slatted frames. Slatted frames, however, are in principle unsuitable for mattresses with pocket spring core.
  • the optimal pad for a mattress with pocket spring core is a flat elastic mattress.
  • the operation of the mattress focuses on the gentle and flat cushioning of movement. It compensates for the pressure created by movements of the sleeper.
  • the forces that act are much higher than the pure weight pressure of the person resting.
  • the good under mattress sensibly absorbs the high energy and gently cushions it over the entire surface.
  • the perfect under-mattress ensures that the sleeper's moisture is released to the environment through free air circulation, without the sleeper feeling cold, hot or humid.
  • Good under-mattresses have an outer frame, which is closed at the bottom by longitudinal and transverse strips. Outer frames and strips are usually made of wood. On the longitudinal and transverse strips are made of wire bent springs, which are optimized for the task of the lower mattress out. Upwards, the springs are covered by a cushioning layer and a Drell.
  • optimal mattress systems are made individually tailored for each user, which entails a corresponding cost, but the user provides optimal sleeping comfort. Often, however, after some use of the mattress system, it turns out that certain areas of the body are not optimally supported. For example, some of the different spring zones may be too hard or too soft or too narrow or too wide. Also, the body shape or body weight of the user may change over the years. However, since the commercial, consisting of mattress top mattress and mattress systems are immutable, such a user is no longer optimal sleep comfort. That is unsatisfactory.
  • the height of the sub-mattress can be changed zone exactly so that the user at the desired locations either deeper or less deeply sinks, just as it requires his body properties, the properties of the mattress itself are not changed.
  • the height adjustment takes place in stages.
  • the height adjustment device comprises a number of holes, which are arranged one above the other in the outer frame, and holding pins, which can be inserted into the holes.
  • the cushioning elements have at least four retaining grooves corresponding to the retaining pins, so that the movable cushioning element is securely held.
  • the height adjustment device comprises four pivotable or rotatable cams in the outer frame and to each camming a number of recesses, so matched to the cams that they are held in position.
  • On the upholstery element are located with the cam corresponding retaining grooves.
  • cams on the outer frame can be fixed captive.
  • cams provide a larger contact surface, which reduces the contact pressure and gives the height adjustment a long life.
  • the height adjustment device can advantageously also be infinitely adjustable.
  • the height adjustment device comprises eccentrically mounted disks, which may be toothed on the circumference to improve friction.
  • the height adjustment device comprises a continuous shaft, mounted in the outer frame, and a self-locking drive for the shaft, z. B. a worm gear.
  • the height adjustment device according to an embodiment of the invention, but also be driven by a motor.
  • a motor These are z. B. motor-driven threaded spindles, but also the aforementioned eccentrically mounted discs.
  • Another variant provides that inflatable bellows are used for height adjustment. Since these bellows spring themselves, the wire springs and the cushion layer of the upholstery element can be carried out correspondingly easier.
  • the height adjustment device may be equipped with a position indicator which is visible on the outside of the outer frame or on the upper side of the lower mattress.
  • the upholstery element can also be adjustable along the outer frame.
  • fixed padding is provided in the head and / or foot area of the lower mattress.
  • experience has shown that there is hardly any need for a height adjustment of the lower mattress, so that costs can be saved.
  • two or three height-adjustable upholstery elements are provided, positioned in the region of shoulder, loin and / or pelvis.
  • Fig. 1 shows purely schematically a longitudinal section through an existing mattress 0 and mattress top 20 mattress system according to the prior art.
  • the lower mattress 0 has an outer frame 1 with bottom, on which a plurality of springs 5 is, which are covered by a cushion layer 2 above.
  • the mattress 20 has a plurality of springs 21, covered by a Drell 22.
  • the properties of the springs 21 are matched to the weight and shape of a sleeper 30 such that a pelvic receptacle and a shoulder recording arise with increased compliance. As a result, the pelvis and shoulder of the sleeper 30 can sink so low that its spine remains substantially straight.
  • the Fig. 2 to 4 now show a first sub-mattress, which allows such compensation.
  • This sub-mattress again has a fixed outer frame 1.
  • a fixed pad 7 is mounted. This has in its interior known from the prior art springs and is upholstered as the prior art on its upper side with a cushion layer 2.
  • the fixed pad 7 forms the head or foot area of the lower mattress.
  • two loose padding elements 10, 10 ' These also have a frame 11 which receives in its interior the known from the prior art springs and as the prior art is covered above with cushion layer 12 and Drell. Furthermore, the height-movable padding elements 10, 10 'have on their outside multi-level, here three-stage retaining grooves 13. These correspond with cams 4, which are pivotally mounted on the inside of the outer frame 1. The cams 4 are seated in a cross-shaped recess 3 whose dimensions are matched to the cams 4, that they securely fix the cams 4 in the once set position. The depressions 3 and the cams 4 form the frame-side height adjustment devices which correspond to the retaining grooves 13 on the upholstery element 10, 10 'such that by adjusting the cams 4, the cushion elements 10, 10' occupy different heights can.
  • Fig. 5 shows a fragmentary and partially broken a second sub-mattress.
  • This also has a stable outer frame 1.
  • this height adjustment devices are stored, here in the form of eccentrically mounted Dreikantolinn17. These form a continuous axis and are coupled to a control indicator, which are visible on the outside of the frame 1.
  • a carrier plate 6 By rotating the triangular strip 17 by 120 ° each, a carrier plate 6 can be brought into three different heights.
  • This support plate 6 carries the springs 5, which are covered as known from the prior art on its upper side with a cushion layer 2 and a Drell or an elastic fabric or knitted fabric.
  • the upper surface of the lower mattress is raised or lowered with pinpoint accuracy, so that the body of the sleeper can sink less or more at this point.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cross section through a lower mattress, which is infinitely adjustable in height. It can be seen the fixed outer frame 1, in which a continuous shaft 40 is mounted. The shaft 40 carries eccentrically mounted discs 41, which in turn carry the cushion element 10. By. Turning the shaft 40, the cushion member 10 can be raised or lowered.
  • a hand crank 46 is provided which can be inserted through an opening 47 in the outer frame 1.
  • the hand crank 46 actuates a 90-degree deflection gear, consisting of pinion 45 and ring gear 44.
  • a worm wheel 43 is coupled, which meshes with a pinion 42.
  • the pinion 42 in turn sits on the shaft 40, so that by rotating the hand crank 46, the shaft 40 and rotated with this the eccentrically mounted discs 41 and the height of the cushion member 10 can be adjusted. Since the worm gear 42, 43 is self-locking, the pad element 10 retains its height position after removal of the hand crank 46.
