Each pouch has a helical spring (16-19) and a ventilation aperture (20-23) with a diameter greater than the average dimension of pores of the pouch and lesser than the diameter of the spring, where the aperture is circular shaped.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un matelas à ressorts ensachés.The present invention relates to a pocket spring mattress.

Les matelas à ressorts ensachés connus comportent, entre deux nappes de garnissage inférieure et supérieure, une nappe matricielle de ressorts ensachés d'axes sensiblement perpendiculaires aux nappes de garnissage.Known coil spring mattresses comprise, between two plies of lower and upper lining, a matrix ply of pocket springs axially substantially perpendicular to the plies of lining.

La nappe matricielle de ressorts ensachés est constituée d'une pluralité de ressorts hélicoïdaux, chaque ressort hélicoïdal étant disposé à l'intérieur d'un sachet textile. Pour cela, une solution consiste à réaliser la nappe matricielle de ressorts à partir d'une bande de non-tissé repliée sur elle-même autour d'un pli transversal, puis cousue ou soudée transversalement pour former des compartiments ou sachets de réception des ressorts avant d'introduire les ressorts dans les compartiments et de fermer leurs ouvertures par couture ou soudage afin d'ensacher les ressorts.The matrix web of pocket springs consists of a plurality of helical springs, each helical spring being disposed within a textile bag. For this, one solution is to make the spring matrix web from a nonwoven web folded on itself around a transverse fold, then sewn or welded transversely to form compartments or bags receiving the springs. before inserting the springs into the compartments and closing their openings by stitching or welding in order to bag the springs.

Les bandes sont ensuite disposées les unes à côté des autres pour former la nappe matricielle, de manière que les ressorts ensachés présentent une disposition en quinconce ou en carrés, par exemple. En variante, les bandes peuvent également être disposées de manière croisée.The strips are then arranged next to each other to form the matrix web, so that the pocket springs have a quincunx or square arrangement, for example. Alternatively, the strips may also be arranged in a cross-fashion.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un matelas à ressorts ensachés qui comporte un moyen d'aération efficace et qui soit moins sensible à un écrasement brutal du matelas.The object of the present invention is to provide a pocket spring mattress which comprises an effective aeration means and which is less sensitive to a sudden crushing of the mattress.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un matelas à ressorts ensachés comportant une nappe matricielle de ressorts destinée à être disposée entre une nappe inférieure et une nappe supérieure, ladite nappe matricielle de ressorts comportant un ensemble de sachets poreux aptes à être fixés les uns aux autres de manière que l'axe longitudinal de chaque sachet soit sensiblement perpendiculaire d'une part au plan de ladite nappe inférieure et d'autre part au plan de ladite nappe supérieure, chaque sachet étant apte à contenir un ressort hélicoïdal, caractérisé en ce chaque sachet comporte une ouverture d'aération, les dimensions de ladite ouverture d'aération étant nettement supérieures aux dimensions moyennes des pores dudit sachet.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a bagged spring mattress comprising a spring matrix sheet intended to be arranged between a lower sheet and an upper sheet, said spring matrix sheet comprising a set of porous bags able to be attached to the sheets. each other so that the longitudinal axis of each bag is substantially perpendicular on the one hand to the plane of said lower sheet and on the other hand to the plane of said upper sheet, each bag being able to contain a helical spring, characterized in that this each bag has an air opening, the dimensions of said aeration opening being significantly greater than the average pore size of said bag.

Selon une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, ladite ouverture d'aération est sensiblement circulaire.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, said aeration opening is substantially circular.

Avantageusement, ladite ouverture d'aération comporte un diamètre inférieur au diamètre dudit ressort hélicoïdal.Advantageously, said vent opening has a diameter smaller than the diameter of said coil spring.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, ladite ouverture d'aération est disposée sur une paroi dudit sachet.According to a feature of the invention, said vent opening is disposed on a wall of said bag.

De préférence, ladite ouverture d'aération est disposée à proximité d'une extrémité dudit sachet.Preferably, said vent opening is disposed near an end of said bag.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autre buts, détails, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative détaillée qui va suivre, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés.The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, features and advantages thereof will become more clearly apparent in the following detailed explanatory description of an embodiment of the invention given as a purely illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

Sur ces dessins :

  • la figure 1 est une vue partielle, simplifiée et en perspective d'un matelas selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue partielle, simplifiée et latérale d'une bande de sachets du matelas de la figure 1 ;
On these drawings:
  • the figure 1 is a partial view, simplified and in perspective of a mattress according to one embodiment of the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a partial, simplified and lateral view of a strip of sachets of the mattress of the figure 1 ;

En se référant à la figure 1, on voit un matelas 1, comportant une nappe supérieure 2, une nappe inférieure 3 et, disposée entre les nappes 2 et 3, une nappe matricielle de ressorts 4. La nappe matricielle 4 comporte plusieurs bandes de sachets 5, 6, 7 et 8 disposées sensiblement parallèlement les unes par rapport aux autres. Les bandes 5, 6, 7 et 8 sont fixées les unes aux autres d'une manière connue en soi et qui ne sera pas décrite en détail ici.Referring to the figure 1 we see a mattress 1, comprising an upper sheet 2, a lower sheet 3 and, disposed between the sheets 2 and 3, a matrix sheet of springs 4. The matrix sheet 4 comprises several strips of sachets 5, 6, 7 and 8 disposed substantially parallel to each other. The strips 5, 6, 7 and 8 are fixed to each other in a manner known per se and which will not be described in detail here.

On notera qu'il s'agit d'un exemple de réalisation, la disposition des bandes 5, 6, 7 et 8 les unes par rapport aux autres pouvant être quelconque. Les bandes pourraient par exemple être entrelacées.It will be noted that this is an exemplary embodiment, the arrangement of the strips 5, 6, 7 and 8 relative to each other may be any. The bands could for example be interlaced.

Les nappes 2 et 3 sont par exemple constituées d'une toile textile, d'un feutre ou d'une plaque de mousse. La nappe supérieure 2 est fixée sur les faces supérieures des bandes 5, 6, 7 et 8 et la nappe inférieure 3 est fixée sur les faces inférieures des bandes 5, 6, 7 et 8, d'une manière connue en soi, par exemple par collage. Les nappes 2 et 3 participent ainsi à la solidarisation des bandes 5, 6, 7 et 8 entre elles.The webs 2 and 3 are for example made of a textile web, a felt or a foam plate. The upper sheet 2 is fixed on the upper faces of the strips 5, 6, 7 and 8 and the lower sheet 3 is fixed on the lower faces of the strips 5, 6, 7 and 8, in a manner known per se, for example by gluing. The plies 2 and 3 thus participate in securing the strips 5, 6, 7 and 8 together.

La figure 2 montre de manière plus détaillée une partie de la bande 6. On notera que les bandes 5, 7 et 8 sont identiques à la bande 6. La bande 6 comporte quatre sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12, les sachets étant séparés les uns des autres par des coutures 13, 14 et 15 ou par tout autre moyen de séparation permettant de délimiter les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12. Les coutures 13, 14 et 15 sont disposées de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A de la bande 6.The figure 2 shows in greater detail a portion of the strip 6. It will be noted that the strips 5, 7 and 8 are identical to the strip 6. The strip 6 comprises four bags 9, 10, 11 and 12, the bags being separated from each other. other by seams 13, 14 and 15 or by any other means of separation for delimiting the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12. The seams 13, 14 and 15 are arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the band 6.

Les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 ont une forme sensiblement cylindrique et sont réalisés dans une matière poreuse, par exemple en non-tissé. Chaque sachet 9, 10, 11 et 12 contient un ressort hélicoïdal 16, 17, 18 et 19. Les sachets sont fermés à leurs extrémités inférieure et supérieure, de manière que chaque ressort 16, 17, 18 et 19 se trouve enfermé dans un sachet 9, 10, 11 et 12 respectivement.The bags 9, 10, 11 and 12 have a substantially cylindrical shape and are made of a porous material, for example non-woven. Each bag 9, 10, 11 and 12 contains a coil spring 16, 17, 18 and 19. The bags are closed at their lower and upper ends, so that each spring 16, 17, 18 and 19 is enclosed in a bag 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively.

Chaque sachet 9, 10, 11 et 12 comporte une ouverture d'aération 20, 21, 22 et 23. Les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23 sont de forme sensiblement circulaire. Le diamètre D de chaque ouverture 20, 21, 22 et 23 est inférieur au diamètre d'un ressort 16, 17, 18 ou 19, de manière que les ressorts ne puissent pas sortir des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 par les ouvertures. Le diamètre D est nettement supérieur aux dimensions moyennes des pores du sachet 9, 10, 11 et 12. Par exemple, le diamètre D est de l'ordre de quelques millimètres.Each bag 9, 10, 11 and 12 has an air opening 20, 21, 22 and 23. The openings 20, 21, 22 and 23 are substantially circular in shape. The diameter D of each opening 20, 21, 22 and 23 is smaller than the diameter of a spring 16, 17, 18 or 19, so that the springs can not leave the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12 through the openings . The diameter D is significantly greater than the average pore dimensions of the bag 9, 10, 11 and 12. For example, the diameter D is of the order of a few millimeters.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du matelas 1. Lorsque le matelas est écrasé de manière que les ressorts 16, 17, 18 et 19 soient comprimés, cela a pour effet une diminution du volume intérieur des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12. A ce moment, du fait de la porosité des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12, de l'air contenu dans les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 est expulsé par l'ensemble des pores présents sur les surfaces des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12. Simultanément, l'air contenu dans les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 est expulsé vers l'extérieur des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 par les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23. On notera que les pores d'un matériau non-tissé, de part leur nombre et leurs dimensions, ne permettent pas toujours une expulsion efficace de l'air, notamment lorsque l'écrasement est brutal, c'est-à-dire que la quantité d'air expulsée par les pores est très faible par rapport à la quantité d'air expulsée par les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23. Les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23 permettent donc de réduire fortement les contraintes mécaniques qui s'exercent sur les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 en assurant une expulsion efficace de l'air, c'est-à-dire en réduisant au maximum la compression de l'air à l'intérieur des sachets. La réduction des contraintes mécaniques peut par exemple permettre l'utilisation de matériaux moins résistants pour la réalisation des sachets, de manière à réduire les coûts de fabrication.We will now describe the operation of the mattress 1. When the mattress is crushed so that the springs 16, 17, 18 and 19 are compressed, this has the effect of reducing the internal volume of the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12. A at this moment, because of the porosity of the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12, the air contained in the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12 is expelled by all the pores present on the surfaces of the sachets 9, 10 11 and 12. Simultaneously, the air contained in the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12 is expelled to the outside of the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12 through the openings 20, 21, 22 and 23. It will be noted that the pores of a nonwoven material, because of their number and their dimensions, do not always allow effective expulsion of the air, especially when the crushing is brutal, that is to say that the amount of air expelled by the pores is very small compared to the amount of air expelled through the openings 20, 21, 22 and 23. The openings 20, 21, 22 and 23 allows therefore strongly reduce the mechanical stresses on the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12 by ensuring an effective expulsion of the air, that is to say by reducing as much as possible the compression of the the air inside the sachets. The reduction of the mechanical stresses can for example allow the use of less resistant materials for the realization of the bags, so as to reduce manufacturing costs.

A ce moment, lorsque le matelas est relâché, les ressorts 16, 17, 18 et 19 ont tendance à se détendre de manière à reprendre leur position de repos, ce qui a pour effet une extension des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12. De l'air est alors aspiré dans les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 à la fois par les pores et par les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23. De la même manière que précédemment, l'air est principalement aspiré dans les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 par les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23, les flux d'air permis par les pores étant très limités.At this time, when the mattress is released, the springs 16, 17, 18 and 19 tend to relax so as to resume their rest position, which has the effect of an extension of the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12. Air is then drawn into the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12 both by the pores and through the openings 20, 21, 22 and 23. In the same manner as above, the air is mainly sucked into the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12 through the openings 20, 21, 22 and 23, the air flow allowed by the pores being very limited.

Les flux d'air générés par les ouvertures 20, 21, 22 et 23 entre les sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12 et l'extérieur lors des écrasements et des relâchements du matelas 1 étant conséquents, ils entraînent une aération efficace de l'intérieur des sachets 9, 10, 11 et 12. Cette aération permet une circulation optimale de l'air à l'intérieur du matelas.The air flows generated by the openings 20, 21, 22 and 23 between the bags 9, 10, 11 and 12 and the outside during crushing and relaxation of the mattress 1 being substantial, they cause effective ventilation of the inside the sachets 9, 10, 11 and 12. This aeration allows an optimal circulation of the air inside the mattress.

D'autres variantes sont possibles, par exemple, la forme des ouvertures peut être quelconque, de même que leur position sur les sachets.Other variants are possible, for example, the shape of the openings may be any, as well as their position on the bags.

En outre, le nombre de sachets par bande peut également être quelconque.In addition, the number of sachets per band can also be arbitrary.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en relation avec plusieurs modes de réalisations particuliers, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described in connection with several particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is not limited thereto and that it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if they are within the scope of the invention.
