Abstract
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.The invention relates to a flat air tank placed under a water mattress can be. A pump fills the air tank, a valve empties it. That by the Air tank so infinitely displaced water leaves the water level in the waterbed rise or fall, the bed is firmer or softer and the body position of Sleeper is changed accordingly.
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.The air tank e.g. a flat hose or pillow made of a flexible airtight film made, e.g. on the side or on the headboard, in the inner construction of a Waterbed placed under the water mattress. Outside the bed is a Air pump that feeds the air tank via a hose. For filling the pump is in Gear set. To drain, the valve is opened, the water pressure of the water bed Empties the air tank automatically.
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.The invention can be within minutes in virtually any existing type of waterbed insert and apply. Depending on the preferred sleeping position or momentary preference it is a need to change the capacity and thus the strength in the waterbed. It was So far without filling or draining water the strength in the Quickly change the waterbed from soft to firm. Likewise, it can be continuous Water mattresses the temporary absence of a partner, and thus its displacement of water, be compensated, which equates to a great comfort progress.
Claims (2)
- Waterbed with a flat air container, made of a foil, f. i. vinyl or other air tight flexible material, thereby charactarized that the air container is positioned in the inner construction of the waterbed under the watermattress and can be filled with an air pump to change the waterbed firmness and can be deflated with a valve.
- Use of a flat air container, made of a foil, f.i. vinyl orotherairtightflexible material, thereby charactarized that the air container is positioned in the inner construction of a waterbed under the watermattress and can be filled with an air pump to change the waterbed firmness and can be deflated with a valve.
