Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air mattress with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Air mattresses consisting of at least one air chamber made of welded or glued webs of an air-impermeable, water vapor-permeable or impermeable material, the air chamber being provided with a closable valve for admitting and discharging air.
- the conventional air mattresses are comfortable, but they only warm up minimally, because the air trapped in the air chambers or the air chamber can circulate freely and, by convention, dissipates a lot of heat.
- Air mattresses made of covered foam are relatively heavy, have a large pack size and are relatively expensive to manufacture, since delamination problems of the cover with respect to the foam must be prevented.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an air mattress which minimizes heat loss through convection, but which is nevertheless light, can be packaged small and is inexpensive to manufacture.
- an air mattress consisting of at least one air chamber made of welded or glued webs of an air-impermeable, water vapor-permeable or impermeable material, wherein the air chamber is provided with a closable valve for admitting and discharging air, characterized in that the air chamber is filled with a down material or a synthetic fiber insulation material.
- the air chamber is divided by webs, the webs being fastened to the lower and upper large surfaces of the air mattress material directly or via bands or the like.
- the bars which keep the filling material in a balanced distribution, are preferably air-permeable in larger chambers and consist, for example, of tricot nylon. However, they can also be impermeable to air if a division into independent chambers is desired.
- the webs or the bands or the like are preferably welded or glued to the air mattress material.
- the webs are arranged essentially regularly and are arranged perpendicularly or obliquely to the horizontal lying surface of the air mattress.
- valves are underlaid with an open-pore material to prevent the escape of down or synthetic fiber insulation material. It is not desirable to inflate the air mattress with your mouth, as this will introduce moisture into the down or synthetic fiber material.
- the valve is a safety valve for preventing the escape of air.
- the valve can be connected to a pump device or bellows device, this device according to a particular embodiment of the invention consisting of a flexible sleeve provided with an inlet valve, this sleeve being filled with an open-pore, self-expanding foam.
- Fig. 1 shows an air mattress 1, which is shown in section at the front.
- the air mattress 1 is made of a filling material 2 made of down or synthetic fiber wadding filled. This filling material is light and can be extremely compressed, so that when you choose a light wrapping material, you get a small pack size and a low weight.
- the air mattress 1 is divided into uniform ribs by vertically arranged webs 3, which are connected to the covering material at the top and bottom, for example by welding.
- the webs 3 serve to hold the filling material in place.
- the air mattress is a single-chamber mattress with a valve 4, so that the webs 3 are made of an air-permeable material in order to enable the inflation and deflation of air.
- the valve 4 is a safety valve with an outflow protection, but which can be opened for packaging, or to facilitate compression, can even be switched over, so that air can only flow out but not flow back in again.
