Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wasserbett mit Auffangwanne gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a waterbed with drip pan according to the preamble of claim 1.

Herkömmliche Wasserbetten bestehen aus einer Schaumstoffwanne, die mit einer eine Auffangwanne bildenden Sicherheitsfolie ausgekleidet ist. Auf der Sicherheitsfolie liegen der oder die Wasserkerne auf, so dass bei einer Undichtigkeit eines Wasserkerns das austretende Wasser von der Auffangwanne aufgenommen werden soll. Da die verwendeten Wasserkerne mehrere hundert Liter Wasserinhalt haben, ist es sehr wichtig, dass bei einer Undichtigkeit eines Wasserkerns das austretende Wasser nicht zum Fußboden hin abfließt, sondern von der Auffangwanne aufgenommen wird.Conventional waterbeds consist of a foam trough which is lined with a safety trough forming a collecting trough. On the security film or the water cores lie on, so that in case of leakage of a water core, the escaping water is to be absorbed by the drip pan. Since the water cores used have several hundred liters of water content, it is very important that in case of leakage of a water core, the escaping water does not drain to the floor, but is absorbed by the sump.

Wasserbetten sind zur Temperierung der Wasserkerne mit Heizeinrichtungen ausgestattet, die zwischen der die Schaumstoffwanne auskleidenden Sicherheitsfolie und dem Boden der Schaumstoffwanne angeordnet sind. Unter ungünstigen Bedingungen oder einem defekt im Bereich der Heizeinrichtungen kann die Sicherheitsfolie der Auffangwanne beschädigt werden oder durchschmoren, so dass deren Sicherheitsfunktion nicht mehr gegeben ist und aus den Wasserkernen austretendes Wasser ungehindert auf den Fußboden abfließen würde.Waterbeds are equipped to control the temperature of the water cores with heaters disposed between the safety foil lining the foam tray and the bottom of the foam tray. Under unfavorable conditions or a defect in the area of the heaters, the safety foil of the drip tray can be damaged or burned through, so that its safety function is no longer ensured and water escaping from the water cores would flow unhindered onto the floor.

Aus der DE 198 60 200 C2 und aus der DE 201 01 847 U1 ist jeweils ein Wasserbett bekannt, welches an den Seitenrändern umlaufende elastische Wangen und eine zwischen den Wangen und einem Boden angeordnete Sicherheitsfolie hat, die eine Auffangwanne für den einliegenden Wasserkern bildet. Die dort beschriebenen Wasserbetten sind mit einem Stoffüberzug versehen, der auch die Außenränder der Sicherheitsfolie umgreift. Aus der EP 0923897 A2 ist eine Aufnahmehalterung für eine Wassermatratze bekannt, die eine eng um den Wasserkern verlaufende erste Sicherheitsfolie verwendet. Der Wasserkern mit dieser Sicherheitsfolie liegt in einer von einer wasserdichten Folie gebildeten Auffangwanne ein, sodass kein Zwischenraum zwischen der ersten Sicherheitsfolie und der Auffangwanne besteht.From the DE 198 60 200 C2 and from the DE 201 01 847 U1 In each case, a waterbed is known, which has on the side edges of circumferential elastic cheeks and arranged between the cheeks and a bottom security film, which forms a sump for the inset water core. The waterbeds described there are provided with a fabric cover, which also surrounds the outer edges of the security film. From the EP 0923897 A2 a receptacle for a water mattress is known, which uses a tightly running around the water core first security film. The water core with this security foil lies in a collecting trough formed by a watertight foil, so that there is no gap between the first security foil and the collecting trough.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wasserbett zu schaffen, welches eine höhere Sicherheit für die Wasser-Auffangfunktion gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to provide a water bed, which ensures a higher level of security for the water collection function.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erhält man durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Auffangwanne, in der die Wasserkerne einliegen, von einer zweiten, außen liegenden Auffangwanne umgeben, die sich über die Unterseite des Bodens und über die Außenseiten der seitlichen Wangen erstreckt. Dadurch erhält man eine zweite Auffangwanne für das Wasserbett, die somit eine doppelte Sicherheit gegen auslaufendes Wasser bietet. Selbst wenn die innen liegende Auffangwanne, mit der die Schaumstoffwanne des Wasserbetts ausgekleidet ist, undicht ist, kann das gesamte Wasser des oder der Wasserkerne dann von der außen liegenden Auffangwanne aufgenommen werden, wenn der oder die Wasserkerne undicht werden. Da die außen liegende Auffangwanne mit der Heizeinrichtung des Wasserbetts keinen unmittelbaren Kontakt hat und auch aufgrund ihrer verdeckten Anordnung sehr gut gegen mechanische Beschädigungen geschützt ist, bietet diese erfindungsgemäße äußere Auffangwanne ein besonders hohes Maß an Sicherheit im Falle einer Undichtigkeit der Wasserkerne.The solution to this problem is obtained by the features specified in claim 1. According to the invention, the collecting trough, in which the water cores are in, is surrounded by a second, outer collecting trough, which extends over the underside of the bottom and over the outer sides of the lateral cheeks. This gives a second sump for the waterbed, which thus provides double security against leaking water. Even if the inner sump tray lined with the foam sump of the waterbed is leaking, all of the water of the water corer (s) can then be taken up by the outer sump when the core (s) become leaky. Since the outer collecting tray with the heater of the water bed has no direct contact and is also protected very well against mechanical damage due to their hidden arrangement, this outer collecting tray according to the invention provides a particularly high level of security in the event of leakage of the water cores.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die außen liegende Auffangwanne, die vorzugsweise ebenso wie die innen liegende Auffangwanne aus einer Sicherheitsfolie besteht, im oberen Bereich der Außenseiten der Wangen mit der inneren Auffangwange lösbar zu verbinden. Dadurch erhält man den Vorteil, dass sowohl die Sicherheitsfolie der inneren Auffangwanne als auch die Sicherheitsfolie der äußeren Auffangwange sehr gut gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verrutschen gesichert sind. Über die lösbare Verbindung beider Auffangwannen entsteht eine geschlossene, die Schaumstoffwanne vollständig umschließende Kunststoffumhüllung, die keine zusätzlichen Fixierelemente zwischen Schaumstoffwanne und den Sicherheitsfolien benötigt. Alleine auf Grund des an die Form der Schaumstoffwanne angepassten Zuschnitts beider Sicherheitsfolien und durch deren Verbindung wird sichergestellt, dass die Verbindungslinie beider Sicherheitsfolien immer auf der vorgegebenen Höhenposition verbleibt.It is particularly advantageous for the outer collecting trough, which preferably consists of a safety foil as well as the inner collecting trough, to be releasably secured in the upper region of the outer sides of the cheeks with the inner collecting cheek connect. This gives the advantage that both the security film of the inner drip tray and the security film of the outer collecting tray are very well secured against accidental slipping. About the releasable connection of both drip trays creates a closed, the foam pan completely enclosing plastic sheath that requires no additional fixing between the foam tray and the security films. Alone on the basis of the shape of the foam pan adapted cut both security films and their connection ensures that the connecting line of both security films always remains at the predetermined height position.

Die bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass sich die Verbindungslinie zwischen innerer und äußerer Auffangwanne geringfügig unterhalb des oberen Außenrandes der Wangen erstreckt. Als Verbindungselement kann entlang der Verbindungslinie ein Reißverschluss oder aber auch ein anderes Verbindungselement verwendet werden. Durch die Anordnung geringfügig unterhalb des oberen Außenrandes der Wangen wird dabei sichergestellt, dass die verwendeten Verbindungselemente den Liegekomfort in keiner Weise beeinträchtigen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch wesentlich, dass der oberer Rand der äußeren Auffangwanne auf einem niedrigeren Niveau positioniert sein kann, als der obere Rand der inneren Auffangwanne, da die äußere Auffangwanne eine größere Grundfläche hat und somit zur Aufnahme des gesamten Wasservolumens eine geringere Seitenwandhöhe benötigt.The preferred embodiment provides that the connecting line between the inner and outer drip pan extends slightly below the upper outer edge of the cheeks. As a connecting element, a zipper or else another connecting element can be used along the connecting line. The arrangement slightly below the upper outer edge of the cheeks is thereby ensured that the fasteners used affect the comfort in any way. In this context, it is also essential that the upper edge of the outer sump can be positioned at a lower level than the upper edge of the inner sump, since the outer sump has a larger footprint and thus requires a lower side wall height to accommodate the entire water volume.

Verläuft die Verbindungslinie nur geringfügig unterhalb des oberen Außenrandes der Wangen, beispielsweise im Abstand von 1 bis 4 cm unterhalb des oberen Außenrandes, so wird dadurch einerseits eine gute Zugänglichkeit des umlaufenden Reißverschlusses erreicht und andererseits sichergestellt, dass dieser den Liegekomfort nicht stört.Runs the line only slightly below the upper outer edge of the cheeks, for example, at a distance of 1 to 4 cm below the upper outer edge, so on the one hand good accessibility of the circumferential zipper is achieved and on the other hand ensures that it does not disturb the comfort.

Die Sicherheitsfolie besteht vorzugsweise aus PVC. Die von den beiden Sicherheitsfolien umschlossene Schaumstoffwanne besitzt vorzugsweise einen Boden aus einem härteren Schaumstoff mit höherer Dichte als der Schaumstoff der seitlichen Wangen. Der härter ausgebildete Boden trägt somit auch zur Formstabilität der Schaumstoffwanne und damit auch zur exakten Positionierung und Halterung der beiden Sicherheitsfolien bei.The security film is preferably made of PVC. The foam pan enclosed by the two security foils preferably has a bottom made of a harder foam of higher density than the foam of the side cheeks. The harder ground thus contributes to the dimensional stability of the foam pan and thus also to the exact positioning and mounting of the two security foils.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung der Schaumstoffwanne eines Wasserbetts, die von einer oberen und einer unteren Auffangwanne umhüllt ist,
  • Figur 2 eine Schnittansicht gemäß der Schnittlinie AA von Figur 1 und
  • Figur 3 eine Teilansicht der Fixierung des nach oben gerichteten Wannenrandes mittels einer selbsttragenden Umrandung.
Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the foam tray of a water bed, which is enveloped by an upper and a lower collecting tray,
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along the section line AA of Figure 1 and
  • 3 shows a partial view of the fixation of the upwardly directed bath rim by means of a self-supporting border.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Schaumstoffwanne 1 besteht aus einem Boden 2 und an ihren Seitenrändern umlaufenden Wangen 3, die einen keilförmigen Querschnitt haben. In der Schaumstoffwanne 1 liegt eine innen liegende Auffangwanne 4 ein, die mit einer äußeren Auffangwanne 5 entlang einer Verbindungslinie 6 lösbar verbunden ist. Jede der beiden Auffangwannen besteht aus einer Sicherheitsfolie aus PVC.The foam tray 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a bottom 2 and at their side edges rotating cheeks 3, which have a wedge-shaped cross-section. In the foam pan 1 is an inner collecting trough 4, which is detachably connected to an outer collecting trough 5 along a connecting line 6. Each of the two drip pans consists of a safety film made of PVC.

Die beiden Auffangwannen 4, 5 sind entlang der Verbindungslinie 6 mittels eines Reißverschlusses 7 lösbar miteinander verbunden und werden aufgrund ihres Zuschnitts sicher in der dargestellten Position gehalten, so dass ein Verschieben der Verbindungslinie 6 nicht zu befürchten ist. Der Boden 2 besitzt eine höhere Schaumstoffdichte als die seitlich hochstehenden Wangen 3.The two drip pans 4, 5 are detachably connected to each other along the connecting line 6 by means of a zipper 7 and are due to their Blank securely held in the position shown, so that a displacement of the connecting line 6 is not to be feared. The bottom 2 has a higher foam density than the laterally upstanding cheeks 3.

Die dargestellte Schaumstoffwanne 1 mit den beiden Auffangwannen 4, 5 kann bei einer Ausführung als Doppelbett in der Aufnahmemulde 8 mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten, hier nicht dargestellten Wasserkernen bestück sein. Bei einer Ausführung als Einzelbett liegt in der Aufnahmemulde 8 nur ein Wasserkern ein, der die Aufnahmemulde 8 dann vollständig ausfüllt.The illustrated foam tray 1 with the two drip pans 4, 5 can be equipped in one embodiment as a double bed in the receiving trough 8 with two juxtaposed, not shown here water cores. In an embodiment as a single bed is in the receiving trough 8 only a water core, which then completely fills the receiving trough 8.

Figur 2 zeigt den Schnitt AA von Figur 1. Zusätzlich zu Figur 1 ist in Figur 2 noch die Position von zwei einliegenden Wasserkernen 9, 10 mit unterbrochenen Linien angedeutet, die von einem mittleren Schaumstoffkeil 11 getrennt sind. Zwischen dem Boden 2 und der innen liegenden Auffangwanne 4 liegen jeweils unter den beiden Wasserkernen 9, 10 Heizeinrichtungen 12, 13 ein, die hier als horizontale Striche angedeutet sind.FIG. 2 shows section AA of FIG. 1. In addition to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 also indicates the position of two recessed cores 9, 10 with broken lines, which are separated by a central foam wedge 11. Between the bottom 2 and the inner collecting trough 4 are respectively below the two water cores 9, 10 heaters 12, 13, which are indicated here as horizontal dashes.

In Figur 2 ist auch ersichtlich, dass sich die äußere Auffangwanne 5 entlang der Außenseiten der Schaumstoffwanne 1 und über die gesamte Unterseite des Bodens 2 erstreckt. Der Seitenrand 14 der äußeren Auffangwanne 5 erstreckt sich bis zur Verbindungslinie 6 und ist somit nicht ganz bis zur oberen Außenkante der einliegenden Schaumstoffwanne 1 hochgeführt. Jede der beiden Sicherheitsfolien, die die innere Auffangwanne 4 und die äußere Auffangwanne 5 bilden, können bei einer Undichtigkeit der Wasserkerne 9, 10 den gesamten Wasserinhalt aufnehmen. Dies bedeutet, dass selbst bei undichter innerer Auffangwanne 4 immer noch sichergestellt ist, dass der gesamte Wasserinhalt nicht nach außen abfließen kann, sondern von der äußeren Auffangwanne 5 aufgenommen wird.It can also be seen in FIG. 2 that the outer collecting trough 5 extends along the outer sides of the foam trough 1 and over the entire underside of the bottom 2. The side edge 14 of the outer drip pan 5 extends to the connecting line 6 and is thus not quite up to the upper outer edge of the foam tray 1 inserted. Each of the two security films, which form the inner drip pan 4 and the outer drip pan 5, can absorb the entire water content in case of leakage of the water cores 9, 10. This means that even with leaky inner sump 4 is still ensured that the entire water content can not flow to the outside, but is absorbed by the outer sump 5.

In Figur 3 ist eine Fixierung des nach oben gerichteten Wannenrandes mittels einer selbsttragenden Umrandung 15 dargestellt. Die Umrandung kann beispielsweise aus einem stabilen Karton oder aus Kunststofftafeln bestehen.FIG. 3 shows a fixation of the upwardly directed rim of the bath by means of a self-supporting border 15. The border can for example consist of a sturdy cardboard or plastic panels.

Der Boden 2 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus Schaumstoff hergestellt. Dieser kann in einer einfacheren Ausführung aber auch nur aus einer Matte oder einer Kunststoff oder Textilbahn bestehen.The bottom 2 is made of foam in the illustrated embodiment. This can in a simpler design but also consist only of a mat or a plastic or textile web.
