Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mattress base made of a permanently elastic Material, in particular a mattress, therapy pad or a Pad for a mattress.
  • mattress is used instead of the term lying mattress used, but the invention is not limited to a mattress, but rather on all suitable mattress bases should relate.
  • therapy documents are meant on which the user does not sleep, but only at short notice, for example, a few minutes to hours, sets. This can be for example in Framework of a physiotherapy or treatment of the case be.
  • Mattresses are known in a variety of different designs. Most mattresses are available either as spring mattresses or as Foam or latex mattresses running. They serve basically the Purpose to provide the user with maximum comfort.
  • the known pads and mattresses all have the disadvantage that they are not individually changeable. It is possible, the described To make a support and mattress made of different hard materials, However, an already produced pad or mattress is no longer changeable. As a result, for example, due to their construction for normal built people well suited to the stretching effect is not for people with a wide pelvis or shoulders. The predefined Stretching effect of the known mattress base can not be changed become. This has the disadvantage that it is impossible to attach the document to the different clinical pictures and personal needs of the spine adapt.
  • the once-defined properties have the disadvantage that the user who determines after a certain time that he would, for example, a mattress with stronger stretching effect more pleasant than his, can not change his already used mattress.
  • the documents DE 297 22 956, DE 2 99 16 561 and DE 29719 194 show mattresses or couches, which also have transverse ribs, which are intended to stretch the spine.
  • the pamphlets continue to deal with the possibility of changing the degree of hardness of such a mattress or couch. This is achieved by insertions or inserts, which are inserted below the transverse ribs approximately parallel to these.
  • it has been found that the adjustment of the degree of hardness alone does not lead to satisfactory results in terms of adaptation to the individual needs of a user.
  • the object of the present invention is a couch pad to create, with which a certain extension of the spine is reachable, but their properties in contrast to the prior art changeable are.
  • the support elements consist in a first advantageous embodiment from the same material that makes up the mattress itself.
  • foam materials such as latex, are suitable.
  • the adjustment of the properties or the hardness of the mattress takes place So by inserting or omitting the support elements.
  • the stretching effect of individual transverse ribs can be canceled be that under load due to the filling with a Support element can no longer tilt in the direction of the respective lateral side. In this way, for example, whole areas of the mattress in their properties are changed. This can be important, for example be, if the user due to his disease first, a stronger stretching, but later requires less stretching.
  • Supporting elements made of the same material as the mattress itself can according to the invention in a simple and inexpensive manufacturing process getting produced. Toward a mattress body to create the gaps strips cut out, advantageously with the help of a CNC-controlled cutting machine. These stripes can then be used again as support elements. Thus be the manufacturing steps “Profiling the mattress base” or “Creation he Transverse ribs "and” production of the support elements "in a single manufacturing step summarized.
  • the Support elements do not each have an entire gap between two Transverse ribs off; Rather, multiple support elements in only one space be used.
  • multiple support elements in only one space be used.
  • a support element of the first embodiment is so to speak in Divided longitudinally into several individual support elements, so that result in several longitudinal stripes.
  • a gap can be filled with several support elements, but it can also only one Support element can be used.
  • the support elements in a second embodiment variant according to the invention have different degrees of hardness.
  • the hardness of the Mattress area by area subsequently be changed at any time.
  • the support elements may also be made of other materials than the mattress exist, for. B. plastic or wood.
  • the support elements may be coated such that they have only a low frictional resistance, so they at the onset along the inner walls of the gaps can slide.
  • This effect may optionally be reinforced by the fact that the inner walls the spaces are coated.
  • such a coating may be necessary to a simple and fast insertion of the support elements in the spaces to allow or favor.
  • those supporting elements which are in one Interspace are arranged one above the other, so interconnected are that they can not move relative to each other. This is to prevent the upper support element over time next to the bottom slips.
  • support elements partially to connect together at their ends. This can be over rigid Elements take place on the outside of the mattress in the longitudinal direction of the mattress run. About such elements can give way or buckling the transverse ribs are wholly canceled or strengthened.
  • the mattress together with a Heating or a heat source is used, so that the muscles of the User can be heated.
  • the invention can within the Mattress be arranged a flat heating element, but this can also be executed independently of the mattress as an additional component.
  • the mattress base or the mattress can thereby be improved that will continue in the recliner under the transverse ribs Excavations are provided.
  • Support elements insertable, beyond which the properties of the mattress in addition are changeable.
  • these cavities and support elements the above, z. B. that the mattress both by the insertion and Omission, as well as by the selection of different hard support elements is adjustable.
  • the support elements or the inner walls the cavities are coated to facilitate insertion.
  • the cavities can be arranged arbitrarily, as long as a noticeable Effect for the user results. It has been shown that just the Extension of the cavities in the transverse direction of the mattress is advantageous that thereby different degrees of hardness, for example, the pelvis and let the shoulders adjust.
  • the excavations can differ from one Longitudinal edge continuous up to other longitudinal edge of the mattress extend, but they can also be designed as wells that only accessible through an opening.
  • Hollows in the longitudinal direction of the mattress base are useful if the degree of hardness of the mattress in a double mattress for the individual user should be adjustable.
  • a lying pad 10 preferably a mattress
  • a first transverse side 12 in the illustrated embodiment on the head side
  • a second transverse side 14 in the illustrated embodiment foot side, facing a user, not shown Top 16 and a user facing away from the bottom 18.
  • the two Transverse sides 12, 14 are connected to each other via two longitudinal sides 20.
  • transverse ribs 22 are formed, some of which are towards the first lateral 12 and some towards the second transverse side 14 are inclined. Between the transverse ribs 22 are located Interspaces 24. Preferably, starting from the first transverse side 12 the following juxtaposed transverse ribs 22 in the direction the first transverse side 12, and then arranged next to each other Transverse ribs 22 are inclined in the direction of the second transverse side 14.
  • each cavity 26 is associated with a section, each of the bottom 18 extends to the cavity 26 and along the entire cavity 26 extends.
  • support elements 30 can be seen by way of example. These can be in both the spaces 24, and in the cavities 26 are introduced.
