Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flat air container placed under a water mattress can be.
  • a pump fills the air tank, a valve empties it. That through the Air tanks so continuously displaced water leaves the water level in the waterbed rise or fall, the bed becomes firmer or softer and the body position of the Sleeper is changed accordingly.
  • the air tank e.g. a flat tube or pillow made of a flexible airtight Foil is manufactured, e.g. on the side or on the headboard, in the inner construction of a Waterbed placed under the water mattress.
  • Air pump that feeds the air tank via a hose.
  • the pump is filled in Gear set. To drain the valve is opened, the water pressure of the water bed empties the air tank automatically.
  • the invention can be converted into practically any existing type of waterbed within minutes insert and apply. Depending on your preferred sleeping position or current preference, it is a need to change the filling quantity and thus the strength in the waterbed. It was so far without filling or draining not possible the strength in the Changing the waterbed quickly from soft to firm. It can also be used for continuous Water mattresses the temporary lack of a partner, and thus his water displacement, be balanced out, which is equivalent to a great improvement in comfort.

Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen flachen flexiblen Luftbehälter der im inneren eines Wasserbettes unter eine Wassermatratze gelegt werden kann. Eine Pumpe füllt den Luftbehälter, ein Ventil entleert ihn. Das so stufenlos verdrängte Wasser lässt den Wasserstand im Wasserbett ansteigen bzw. absinken, das Bett wird fester bzw. weicher und auch die Körperlage des Schläfers wird entsprechend verändert, ohne dass umständlich Wasser eingefüllt oder abgelassen werden muss. Ebenfalls kann damit auf durchgehenden Wassermatratzen das temporäre Fehlen eines Partners, und damit seiner Wasserverdrängung, ausgeglichen werden.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen flachen Luftbehälter der unter eine Wassermatratze gelegt werden kann. Eine Pumpe füllt den Luftbehälter, ein Ventil entleert ihn. Das durch den Luftbehälter so stufenlos verdrängte Wasser lässt den Wasserstand im Wasserbett ansteigen bzw. absinken, das Bett wird fester bzw. weicher und auch die Körperlage des Schläfers wird entsprechend verändert.
Der Luftbehälter z.B. ein Flachschlauch oder Kissen aus einer flexiblen luftdichten Folie gefertigt, wird z.B. auf der Seite oder am Kopfteil, in der inneren Konstruktion eines Wasserbettes unter die Wassermatratze gelegt. Ausserhalb des Bettes befindet sich eine Luftpumpe die über einen Schlauch den Luftbehälter speist. Zum Füllen wird die Pumpe in Gang gesetzt. Zum Ablassen wird das Ventil geöffnet, der Wasserdruck des Wasserbettes entleert den Luftbehälter automatisch.
Die Erfindung lässt sich innert Minuten in praktisch jede bestehende Art Wasserbett einlegen und anwenden. Je nach bevorzugter Schlaflage oder momentaner Vorliebe ist es ein Bedürfnis die Füllmenge und damit die Festigkeit im Wasserbett zu verändern. Es war bisher ohne aufwendiges Wasser einfüllen oder ablassen nicht möglich die Festigkeit im Wasserbett schnell von weich bis fest zu verändern. Ebenfalls kann damit auf durchgehenden Wassermatratzen das temporäre Fehlen eines Partners, und damit seiner Wasserverdrängung, ausgeglichen werden, was einem grossen Komfort-Fortschritt gleichkommt.

Claims (1)

  1. Flacher Luftbehälter, aus einer Folie, z.B. Vinyl oder anderem luftdichtem flexiblem Material, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass er in der inneren Konstruktion eines Wasserbettes unter die Wassermatratze gelegt und zur Veränderung der Wasserbett-Festigkeit mit einer Luftpumpe gefüllt und mit einem Ventil entleert werden kann.
