Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mattress base made of a permanently elastic material, in particular a mattress, therapy pad or a support for a mattress.
- mattress is used instead of the term lying mattress, whereby the invention is not limited to a mattress, but rather should refer to all suitable mattress bases.
- therapy documents are meant on which the user does not sleep, but to which he only lasts for a short time, for example, a few minutes to hours. This can be the case, for example, in the context of physiotherapy or treatment.
- Mattresses are known in a variety of different designs. Most mattresses are designed either as spring mattresses or as foam or latex mattresses. In principle, they serve the purpose of providing the user with maximum comfort.
- transverse rib supports For the treatment of back complaints flexible mattress supports are known from the prior art, which have a plurality of upwardly directed transverse ribs. If a person lies on such a mat, the transverse ribs are predetermined deformed under the influence of the weight of the person, whereby a certain extension of the spine is achieved.
- the transverse ribs are arranged inclined for this purpose, wherein the transverse ribs in the region of the buttocks and the legs in the direction of a foot-side transverse side of the mattress and the transverse ribs in the region of the back and the head point in the direction of a head-side transverse side of the mattress.
- Such a mattress or support is known from DE 37 31 828 A1. Similar conditions are shown in DE 101 46 437 A1 and DE 299 18 588 U1.
- the known conditions and mattresses all have the disadvantage that they are not individually changeable. Although it is possible to produce the described edition and mattresses made of different hard materials, an already produced edition or mattress is no longer changeable. As a result, due to its construction, it is well-suited for stretched people, for example, for normally built people, but not for people with a wide pelvis or shoulders. The predefined stretching effect of the known lying pad can not be changed. This has the disadvantage that it is impossible to adapt the pad to the different clinical pictures and personal needs of the spine.
- 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 publications 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 to provide a mattress with which a certain extension of the spine is reached, but their properties are variable in contrast to the prior art.
- the support elements consist in a first advantageous embodiment of the same material from which the mattress base itself consists.
- foam materials such as latex, are suitable.
- the adjustment of the properties or the hardness of the mattress thus takes place by inserting or omitting the support elements.
- the stretching effect of individual transverse ribs can be canceled by the fact that they can no longer tilt in the direction of the respective transverse side under load due to the filling with a support element.
- entire areas of the mattress can be changed in their properties. This can be important, for example, if the user initially requires more stretching because of his clinical picture, but later requires less stretching.
- Support elements which consist of the same material as the mattress itself, can be produced according to the invention in a simple and inexpensive manufacturing process. From a mattress base strips are cut out to create the gaps, advantageously using a CNC-controlled cutting machine. These strips can then be used again as support elements. Thus, the manufacturing steps “profiling of the mattress base” or “creation of transverse ribs” and “production of the support elements” are summarized in a single manufacturing step.
- the support elements do not fill each an entire gap between two transverse ribs; Rather, multiple support elements in only one space be used.
- a plurality of support elements can be arranged one above the other, each extending over the entire longitudinal extent of a gap, a support element of the first embodiment is divided so to speak in the longitudinal direction into a plurality of individual support elements, resulting in multiple longitudinal strips.
- a space can be filled with multiple support elements, but it can also be used only one support element.
- a plurality of support elements are not one above the other, but next to each other, can be used in a space. It is also advantageous if only a mattress of 2 people is used at the same time, as is often the case with double bed mattresses. It is then possible to adapt the mattress individually to both persons, so the mattress can be divided into a left and a right area.
- the properties of the mattress can be changed only by the insertion or omission of the support elements
- the hardness of the mattress can be subsequently changed in regions at any time.
- the support elements may also consist of materials other than the mattress, for. B. plastic or wood.
- the support elements may be coated such that they have only a low frictional resistance, so they can slide during insertion along the inner walls of the interstices. This effect may be enhanced by the fact that the inner walls the spaces are coated. Especially with mattresses made of foam or latex, such a coating may be necessary to allow a simple and fast insertion of the support elements in the interstices or to favor.
- those support elements which are arranged one above the other in a gap are interconnected so that they can not move relative to each other. This is to prevent the upper support element from sliding over the lower one over time.
- support elements in regions at their ends with each other. This can be done via rigid elements that run on the outside of the mattress in the longitudinal direction of the mattress. About such elements, the yielding or buckling of the transverse ribs can be completely canceled or strengthened.
- a planar heating element can be arranged within the mattress, but this can also be designed as an additional component independently of the mattress.
- the mattress base or the mattress can be improved by further providing cavities in the mattress under the transverse ribs.
- these cavities also support elements are introduced, over which the properties of the mattress are additionally changed.
- the mattress is adjustable both by the insertion and omission, as well as by the selection of different hard support elements.
- the support elements or the inner walls the cavities are coated to facilitate insertion.
- the cavities can be arranged arbitrarily, as long as there is a noticeable effect for the user. It has been found that it is precisely the extent of the cavities in the transverse direction of the mattress that it is advantageous to be able to set different degrees of hardness, for example the pelvis and the shoulders.
- the cavities can extend continuously from one longitudinal edge to the other longitudinal edge of the mattress, but they can also be designed as depressions, which are accessible only through an opening.
- Hollows in the longitudinal direction of the mattress base are useful if the degree of hardness of the mattress should be adjustable differently for a single mattress for the individual user.
- a lying pad 10 preferably a mattress
- a second transverse side 14 in the illustrated embodiment, the foot side a user not facing a 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 inclined in the direction of the first transverse side 12 and some in the direction of the second transverse side 14. Between the transverse ribs 22 are intermediate spaces 24. Preferably, starting from the first transverse side 12, the following adjacent transverse ribs 22 in the direction of the first transverse side 12, and then the next adjacent transverse ribs 22 are inclined in the direction of the second transverse side 14.
- cavities 26 are provided between the transverse ribs 22 and the underside 18.
- the cavities extend from one longitudinal side 20 to the opposite longitudinal side 20.
- each cavity 26 is associated with a section that extends from the bottom 18 to the cavity 26 and extends along the entire cavity 26.
- support elements 30 can be seen by way of example. These can be introduced both into the intermediate spaces 24 and into the cavities 26.
- two support elements 30 are shown, namely an upper support element 30a and a lower support element 30b, which are each arranged above one another in a gap 24 and each extend over the entire length of the intermediate spaces 24.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Liegeunterlage aus einem dauerelastischen Material, insbesondere eine Matratze, Therapieunterlage oder eine Auflage für eine Matratze.The present invention relates to a mattress base made of a permanently elastic material, in particular a mattress, therapy pad or a support for a mattress.
Im Folgenden wird an Stelle des Begriffs Liegeunterlage der Begriff Matratze verwendet, wodurch die Erfindung jedoch nicht auf eine Matratze beschränkt, sondern sich vielmehr auf sämtliche geeigneten Liegeunterlagen beziehen soll. Insbesondere sind auch Therapieunterlagen gemeint, auf denen der Benutzer nicht schläft, sondern auf die er sich lediglich kurzfristig, beispielsweise einige Minuten bis Stunden, legt. Dies kann zum Beispiel im Rahmen einer krankengymnastischen Therapie oder Behandlung der Fall sein.In the following, the term mattress is used instead of the term lying mattress, whereby the invention is not limited to a mattress, but rather should refer to all suitable mattress bases. In particular, therapy documents are meant on which the user does not sleep, but to which he only lasts for a short time, for example, a few minutes to hours. This can be the case, for example, in the context of physiotherapy or treatment.
Matratzen sind in einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Ausführungen bekannt. Die meisten Matratzen sind entweder als Federkernmatratzen oder als Schaumstoff- bzw. Latexmatratzen ausgeführt. Sie dienen grundsätzlich dem Zweck, dem Benutzer einen größtmöglichen Liegekomfort zu verschaffen.Mattresses are known in a variety of different designs. Most mattresses are designed either as spring mattresses or as foam or latex mattresses. In principle, they serve the purpose of providing the user with maximum comfort.
Viele Menschen leiden unter Schmerzen und Verspannungen, die unter anderem durch Verklemmungen von Nervenenden in der Wirbelsäule und den Halswirbeln erzeugt werden.Many people suffer from pain and tension caused by, among other things, jamming of nerve endings in the spine and the Cervical vertebrae are generated.
Zur Behandlung von Rückenbeschwerden sind aus dem Stand der Technik flexible Liegeunterlagen bekannt, die eine Vielzahl aufwärts gerichteter Querrippen aufweisen. Wenn eine Person auf einer solchen Matte liegt, werden die Querrippen unter dem Einfluss des Gewichts der Person vorbestimmt deformiert, wodurch eine gewisse Streckung der Wirbelsäule erzielbar ist. Die Querrippen sind zu diesem Zweck geneigt angeordnet, wobei die Querrippen im Bereich des Gesäßes und der Beine in Richtung einer fußseitigen Querseite der Matratze und die Querrippen im Bereich des Rückens und des Kopfes in Richtung einer kopfseitigen Querseite der Matratze weisen. Eine derartige Matratze oder Auflage ist aus der DE 37 31 828 A1 bekannt. Ähnliche Auflagen zeigen die DE 101 46 437 A 1 und die DE 299 18 588 U1.For the treatment of back complaints flexible mattress supports are known from the prior art, which have a plurality of upwardly directed transverse ribs. If a person lies on such a mat, the transverse ribs are predetermined deformed under the influence of the weight of the person, whereby a certain extension of the spine is achieved. The transverse ribs are arranged inclined for this purpose, wherein the transverse ribs in the region of the buttocks and the legs in the direction of a foot-side transverse side of the mattress and the transverse ribs in the region of the back and the head point in the direction of a head-side transverse side of the mattress. Such a mattress or support is known from DE 37 31 828 A1. Similar conditions are shown in DE 101 46 437 A1 and DE 299 18 588 U1.
Die bekannten Auflagen und Matratzen haben allesamt den Nachteil, dass sie nicht individuell änderbar sind. Es ist zwar möglich, die beschriebenen Auflage und Matratzen aus unterschiedlich harten Materialien herzustellen, eine bereits hergestellte Auflage oder Matratze ist jedoch nicht mehr veränderbar. Dies führt dazu, dass diese auf Grund ihrer Konstruktion beispielsweise für normal gebaute Personen bezüglich der Streckwirkung gut geeignet ist, für Personen mit breitem Becken oder Schultern dagegen nicht. Die vordefinierte Streckwirkung der bekannten Liegeunterlage kann nicht verändert werden. Das hat den Nachteil, dass es unmöglich ist, die Unterlage an die, unterschiedlichen Krankheitsbilder und persönliche Bedürfnisse der Wirbelsäule anzupassen.The known conditions and mattresses all have the disadvantage that they are not individually changeable. Although it is possible to produce the described edition and mattresses made of different hard materials, an already produced edition or mattress is no longer changeable. As a result, due to its construction, it is well-suited for stretched people, for example, for normally built people, but not for people with a wide pelvis or shoulders. The predefined stretching effect of the known lying pad can not be changed. This has the disadvantage that it is impossible to adapt the pad to the different clinical pictures and personal needs of the spine.
Auch haben die einmal definierten Eigenschaften den Nachteil, dass der Benutzer, der nach einer gewissen Zeit feststellt, dass ihm beispielsweise eine Matratze mit stärkerer Streckwirkung angenehmer als seine wäre, seine bereits genutzte Matratze nicht mehr verändern kann.
Die Druckschriften DE297 22 956, DE299 16 561 und DE29719 194 zeigen Matratzen bzw. Liegen, die ebenfalls Querrippen aufweisen, die dazu dienen sollen, die Wirbelsäule zu strecken. Die Druckschriften beschäftigen sich weiterhin mit der Möglichkeit den Härtegrad einer solchen Matratze oder Liege zu verändern. Dies wird durch Einschübe oder Einsätze, die unterhalb der Querrippen in etwa parallel zu diesen eingeschoben werden, erreicht. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die Einstellung des Härtegrades alleine noch nicht zu zufrieden stellenden Ergebnissen hinsichtlich einer Anpassung an die individuellen Bedürfnisse eines Benutzers führt.Also, 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 publications 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. However, 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.
Ein Neukauf ist dann die einzige Lösung. Das gilt beispielsweise auch für Personen, deren Gewicht sich im Laufe der Zeit verändert hat.A new purchase is then the only solution. This also applies, for example, to people whose weight has changed over time.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Liegeunterlage zu schaffen, mit der eine gewisse Streckung der Wirbelsäule erreichbar ist, deren Eigenschaften aber im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik veränderbar sind.The object of the present invention is to provide a mattress with which a certain extension of the spine is reached, but their properties are variable in contrast to the prior art.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch eine Liegeunterlage aus einem dauerelastischen Material, mit
- einer Oberseite und einer Unterseite, einer ersten Querseite und einer mit dieser über zwei Längsseiten verbundenen zweiten Querseite,
- oberseitig hervortretenden Querrippen mit dazwischen angeordneten Zwischenräumen, wobei einige Querrippen in Richtung der ersten Querseite und einige Querrippen in Richtung der zweiten Querseite geneigt ausgeführt sind,
Stützelemente vorgesehen sind, die in die Zwischenräume zwischen die Querrippen einsetzbar sind,
erreicht.According to the invention this is achieved by a mattress base made of a permanently elastic material, with
- an upper side and a lower side, a first transverse side and a second transverse side connected thereto via two longitudinal sides,
- upper side protruding transverse ribs with intermediate spaces, with some transverse ribs in the direction of the first transverse side and some transverse ribs are designed inclined in the direction of the second transverse side,
Support elements are provided, which are insertable into the spaces between the transverse ribs,
reached.
Im Gegensatz zu allen bekannten Liegeunterlagen erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Liegeunterlage bzw. Matratze eine individuelle Anpassung ihrer Eigenschaften an den Benutzer. Es ist möglich, die gewünschte Streckwirkung der Matratze jederzeit durch Wegnahme oder Hinzufügung von Stützelementen zu verändern.In contrast to all known mattress supports the inventive Mattress or mattress an individual adaptation of their properties to the user. It is possible to change the desired stretching effect of the mattress at any time by removal or addition of support elements.
Die Stützelemente bestehen in einer ersten vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante aus dem gleichen Material, aus dem die Liegeunterlage selbst besteht. Insbesondere sind Schaumstoffmaterialien, wie beispielsweise Latex, geeignet. Die Einstellung der Eigenschaften bzw. der Härte der Matratze erfolgt also durch Einsetzen oder Weglassen der Stützelemente. Über die Stützelemente kann also der Streckeffekt einzelner Querrippen dadurch aufgehoben werden, dass sich diese unter Belastung aufgrund der Füllung mit einem Stützelement nicht mehr in Richtung der jeweiligen Querseite neigen können. Auf diese Weise können beispielsweise ganze Bereiche der Matratze in ihren Eigenschaften verändert werden. Dies kann zum Beispiel dann wichtig sein, wenn der Benutzer aufgrund seines Krankheitsbildes zunächst eine stärkere Streckung, später dann aber eine geringere Streckung benötigt.The support elements consist in a first advantageous embodiment of the same material from which the mattress base itself consists. In particular, foam materials, such as latex, are suitable. The adjustment of the properties or the hardness of the mattress thus takes place by inserting or omitting the support elements. By means of the support elements, therefore, the stretching effect of individual transverse ribs can be canceled by the fact that they can no longer tilt in the direction of the respective transverse side under load due to the filling with a support element. In this way, for example, entire areas of the mattress can be changed in their properties. This can be important, for example, if the user initially requires more stretching because of his clinical picture, but later requires less stretching.
Stützelemente, die aus dem gleichen Material wie die Matratze selbst bestehen, können erfindungsgemäß in einem einfachen und kostengünstigen Fertigungsprozess hergestellt werden. Aus einem Matratzengrundkörper werden zur Schaffung der Zwischenräume Streifen herausgeschnitten, vorteilhafterweise mit Hilfe einer CNC-gesteuerten Schneidmaschine. Diese Streifen können dann selbst wieder als Stützelemente verwendet werden. Somit werden die Fertigungsschritte "Profilierung der Liegeunterlage" bzw. "Schaffung er Querrippen" und " Herstellung der Stützelemente " in einen einzigem Fertigungsschritt zusammengefasst.Support elements, which consist of the same material as the mattress itself, can be produced according to the invention in a simple and inexpensive manufacturing process. From a mattress base strips are cut out to create the gaps, advantageously using a CNC-controlled cutting machine. These strips can then be used again as support elements. Thus, the manufacturing steps "profiling of the mattress base" or "creation of transverse ribs" and "production of the support elements" are summarized in a single manufacturing step.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung füllen die Stützelemente nicht jeweils einen gesamten Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Querrippen aus; vielmehr können mehrere Stützelemente in nur einen Zwischenraum eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn mehrere Stützelemente übereinander angeordnet werden können, die sich jeweils über die gesamte Längserstreckung eines Zwischenraums erstrecken, ein Stützelement der ersten Ausführungsvariante ist also sozusagen in Längsrichtung in mehrere einzelne Stützelemente unterteilt, sodass sich mehrere Längsstreifen ergeben. Wahlweise kann dann ein Zwischenraum mit mehreren Stützelementen aufgefüllt werden, es kann aber auch nur ein Stützelement eingesetzt werden.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support elements do not fill each an entire gap between two transverse ribs; Rather, multiple support elements in only one space be used. For example, it may be advantageous if a plurality of support elements can be arranged one above the other, each extending over the entire longitudinal extent of a gap, a support element of the first embodiment is divided so to speak in the longitudinal direction into a plurality of individual support elements, resulting in multiple longitudinal strips. Optionally, then a space can be filled with multiple support elements, but it can also be used only one support element.
Auch kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn mehrere Stützelemente nicht übereinander, sondern nebeneinander, in einen Zwischenraum einsetzbar sind. Auch ist es vorteilhaft, wenn nur eine Matratze von 2 Personen gleichzeitig benutzt wird, wie es bei Doppelbettmatratzen oftmals der Fall ist. Es ist dann möglich, die Matratze individuell an beide Personen anzupassen, die Matratze ist also in einen linken und in einen rechten Bereich aufteilbar.It may also be advantageous if a plurality of support elements are not one above the other, but next to each other, can be used in a space. It is also advantageous if only a mattress of 2 people is used at the same time, as is often the case with double bed mattresses. It is then possible to adapt the mattress individually to both persons, so the mattress can be divided into a left and a right area.
Einerseits ist es also möglich, dass die Eigenschaften der Matratze lediglich durch das Einsetzen oder Weglassen der Stützelemente verändert werden können, andererseits ergibt sich eine weitere Einstellmöglichkeit dadurch, dass die Stützelemente in einer zweiten erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsvariante unterschiedliche Härtegrade aufweisen. Somit kann also die Härte der Matratze bereichsweise nachträglich jederzeit verändert werden. In Kombination mit der Möglichkeit des Weglassens oder Einsetzens von Stützelemente ergebe sich für den Benutzer eine Vielzahl an Variationsmöglichkeiten. Beispielsweise können die Stützelemente auch aus anderen Materialien als die Matratze bestehen, z. B. aus Kunststoff oder Holz.On the one hand, it is therefore possible that the properties of the mattress can be changed only by the insertion or omission of the support elements, on the other hand results in a further adjustment possibility characterized in that the support elements in a second embodiment of the invention have different degrees of hardness. Thus, therefore, the hardness of the mattress can be subsequently changed in regions at any time. In combination with the possibility of omitting or inserting supporting elements, the user has a large number of possible variations. For example, the support elements may also consist of materials other than the mattress, for. B. plastic or wood.
Vorteilhafterweise können die Stützelemente derart beschichtet sein, dass sie nur einen geringen Reibungswiderstand aufweisen, sie also beim Einsetzen entlang der Innenwände der Zwischenräume gleiten können. Dieser Effekt kann gegebenenfalls dadurch verstärkt werden, dass auch die Innenwände der Zwischenräume beschichtet sind. Gerade bei Matratzen aus Schaumstoff oder Latex kann eine derartige Beschichtung notwendig sein, um ein einfaches und schnelles Einsetzen der Stützelemente in die Zwischenräume zu ermöglichen bzw. zu begünstigen.Advantageously, the support elements may be coated such that they have only a low frictional resistance, so they can slide during insertion along the inner walls of the interstices. This effect may be enhanced by the fact that the inner walls the spaces are coated. Especially with mattresses made of foam or latex, such a coating may be necessary to allow a simple and fast insertion of the support elements in the interstices or to favor.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass diejenigen Stützelemente, die in einem Zwischenraum übereinander angeordnet sind, derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass sie sich nicht relativ zueinander verschieben können. Damit soll verhindert werden, dass das obere Stützelement im Laufe der Zeit neben das untere rutscht.According to the invention it is provided that those support elements which are arranged one above the other in a gap, are interconnected so that they can not move relative to each other. This is to prevent the upper support element from sliding over the lower one over time.
Weiterhin kann es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, Stützelemente bereichsweise an ihren Enden miteinander zu verbinden. Dies kann über starre Elemente erfolgen, die außen an der Matratze in Längsrichtung der Matratze verlaufen. Über derartige Elemente kann das Nachgeben bzw. Umknicken der Querrippen gänzlich aufgehoben oder verstärkt werden.Furthermore, it can be inventively provided to connect support elements in regions at their ends with each other. This can be done via rigid elements that run on the outside of the mattress in the longitudinal direction of the mattress. About such elements, the yielding or buckling of the transverse ribs can be completely canceled or strengthened.
Weiterhin ist es sehr sinnvoll, wenn die Liegeunterlage zusammen mit einer Heizung bzw. einer Wärmequelle verwendet wird, damit die Muskulatur des Benutzers erwärmt werden kann. Erfindungsgemäß kann innerhalb der Matratze ein flächiges Heizelement angeordnet sein, dieses kann aber auch unabhängig von der Matratze als zusätzliches Bauteil ausgeführt sein.Furthermore, it is very useful if the mattress is used together with a heater or a heat source, so that the user's muscles can be heated. According to the invention, a planar heating element can be arranged within the mattress, but this can also be designed as an additional component independently of the mattress.
Erfindungsgemäß kann die Liegeunterlage bzw. die Matratze dadurch verbessert werden, dass in der Liegeunterlage unterhalb der Querrippen weiterhin Aushöhlungen vorgesehen sind. In diese Aushöhlungen sind ebenfalls Stützelemente einführbar, über die die Eigenschaften der Matratze zusätzlich veränderbar sind. Auch für diese Aushöhlungen und Stützelemente gilt das oben Gesagte, z. B. dass die Matratze sowohl durch das Einführen und Weglassen, als auch durch die Auswahl unterschiedlich harter Stützelemente einstellbar ist. Auch können die Stützelemente beziehungsweise die Innenwände der Aushöhlungen beschichtet sein, um das Einführen zu erleichtern.According to the invention, the mattress base or the mattress can be improved by further providing cavities in the mattress under the transverse ribs. In these cavities also support elements are introduced, over which the properties of the mattress are additionally changed. Also for these cavities and support elements is the above, z. B. that the mattress is adjustable both by the insertion and omission, as well as by the selection of different hard support elements. Also, the support elements or the inner walls the cavities are coated to facilitate insertion.
Die Aushöhlungen können beliebig angeordnet sein, solange sich ein spürbarer Effekt für den Benutzer ergibt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass gerade die Erstreckung der Aushöhlungen in Querrichtung der Matratze vorteilhaft ist, dass sich dadurch unterschiedliche Härtegrade beispielsweise das Becken und die Schultern einstellen lassen. Die Aushöhlungen können sich von einer Längskante durchgehend bis zu anderen Längskante der Matratze erstrecken, sie können aber auch als Vertiefungen ausgeführt sein, die nur durch eine Öffnung zugänglich sind.The cavities can be arranged arbitrarily, as long as there is a noticeable effect for the user. It has been found that it is precisely the extent of the cavities in the transverse direction of the mattress that it is advantageous to be able to set different degrees of hardness, for example the pelvis and the shoulders. The cavities can extend continuously from one longitudinal edge to the other longitudinal edge of the mattress, but they can also be designed as depressions, which are accessible only through an opening.
Aushöhlungen in Längsrichtung der Liegeunterlage sind dann sinnvoll, wenn der Härtegrad der Matratze bei einer Doppelmatratze für den einzelnen Benutzer unterschiedlich einstellbar sein soll.Hollows in the longitudinal direction of the mattress base are useful if the degree of hardness of the mattress should be adjustable differently for a single mattress for the individual user.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Aushöhlungen mit einem ovalen oder kreisförmigen Durchmesser einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar sind, es sind jedoch sämtliche Formen denkbar.It has been shown that cavities with an oval or circular diameter are easy and inexpensive to produce, but all forms are conceivable.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale finden sich auch in den Ansprüchen. In den Figuren zeigen:
- Fig. 1:
- eine erfindungsgemäße Liegeunterlage in Seitenansicht, ohne eingesetzte Stützelemente.
- Fig. 2:
- die erfindungsgemäße Liegeunterlage in Seitenansicht mit eingesetzten Stützelementen.

Wie sich aus den beiden Figuren ergibt, weist eine Liegeunterlage 10, vorzugsweise eine Matratze, eine erste Querseite 12, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kopfseitig, eine zweite Querseite 14, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel fußseitig, eine einem nicht dargestellten Benutzer zugewandte Oberseite 16 und eine dem Benutzer abgewandte Unterseite 18 auf. Die beiden Querseiten 12, 14 sind über zwei Längsseiten 20 miteinander verbunden.As can be seen from the two figures, a lying
Auf der Oberseite 16 der Liegeunterlage 10 sind Querrippen 22 ausgeformt, von denen einige in Richtung der ersten Querseite 12 und einige in Richtung der zweiten Querseite 14 geneigt sind. Zwischen den Querrippen 22 befinden sich Zwischenräume 24. Vorzugsweise sind ausgehend von der ersten Querseite 12 die folgenden nebeneinander angeordneten Querrippen 22 in Richtung der ersten Querseite 12, und die dann folgenden nebeneinander angeordneten Querrippen 22 sind in Richtung der zweiten Querseite 14 geneigt.On the
Weiterhin sind Aushöhlungen 26 zwischen den Querrippen 22 und der Unterseite 18 vorgesehen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel erstrecken sich die Aushöhlungen von einer Längsseite 20 zur gegenüberliegenden Längsseite 20. Auch ist jeder Aushöhlung 26 ein Schnitt zugeordnet, der jeweils von der Unterseite 18 bis hin zur Aushöhlung 26 verläuft und sich entlang der gesamten Aushöhlung 26 erstreckt. Diese Schnitte 28 erleichtern das Einsetzen von Stützelementen 30 dadurch, dass durch Umbiegen der Liegeunterlage 10 die Schnitte 28 und damit die Aushöhlungen 26 aufweitbar sind.Furthermore,
Aus Figur 2 ist beispielhaft der Einsatz von Stützelementen 30 erkennbar. Diese können sowohl in die Zwischenräume 24, als auch in die Aushöhlungen 26 eingeführt werden. Im gezeigten Beispiel sind jeweils zwei Stützelemente 30 gezeigt, nämlich ein oberes Stützelement 30a und ein unteres Stützelement 30b, die jeweils in einem Zwischenraum 24 übereinander angeordnet sind und sich jeweils über die gesamte Länge der Zwischenräume 24 erstrecken. Gezeigt ist nur ein Ausführungsbeispiel, wie bereits ausgeführt, ist die Anzahl und Erstreckung der Stützelemente 30 in Abhängigkeit an die Anforderungen frei wählbar. Das Gleiche gilt für die Aushöhlungen 26 bzw. für die in diese einführbaren Stützelemente 30.
