Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an article for rest, such as a mattress or cushion.
  • Coverings for mattresses and the like are known which are designed to protect them from liquids which may accidentally be spilled on the mattress or on the mattress cover.
  • such coverings are widely used in hospitals and care homes where they are applied to every bed to protect the mattress if, for example, patients are incontinent or patients who cannot get out of bed need washing.
  • Water-repellent coverings are also applied on mattresses in the case of incontinent children, at home or at nursery school.
  • oilcloths which are placed on the mattress or on a portion of it.
  • Oilcloths are completely waterproof and are made using, for example, hydrophobic greasy substances such as paraffin, artificial and natural waxes and, therefore, have some disadvantages.
  • the mattress, covered with the oilcloth does not "breathe” and so has a limited life span.
  • a covering sheet for bedding articles that is moisture vapour permeable and liquid impermeable.
  • the covering comprises at least a moisture vapour permeable fibrous layer, such as fibres, woven, papers or cloth, and a liquid impermeable but moisture vapour permeable film layer of preferred thermoplastic compositions.
  • the two layers are bonded together, so giving rise to a composite structure.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to propose an article for promoting rest, in particular a mattress, which is free of the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the aim of the present invention is to propose an article for rest which is comfortable and absolutely hygienic.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to produce a covering for an item for rest which help to prevent bedsores if the patient is immobile in bed for lengthy periods.
  • Yet another aim is to produce an article for rest whose life span is not compromised by a lack of breathability.
  • the numeral 1 denotes as a whole an article for promoting rest.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a mattress 2 and Figure 2 a cushion 3.
  • the article 1 consists of a shell 4 filled with soft material 5 and a covering 6 which at least partly covers the shell 4.
  • the covering 6 covers the whole of the shell 4, forming a sort of cover.
  • the covering 6 comprises a textile support 7, that is to say textile material-based and with a basic textile structure, on which a film 8 is fixed making the covering 6 waterproof and permeable to air.
  • the film 8 is made from a resin, in particular a fluorocarbon resin, diluted in water.
  • the support 7 is treated with the resin, which is applied to it dry and subsequently fixed.
  • the support 7 is preferably immersed in a solution or emulsion containing the resin then dried.
  • the resin in particular, is fixed using heat at a temperature of between 110°C and 150°C and, preferably, at around 130°C.
  • the film 8 may also be polyurethane-based, that is to say comprising polyurethane, which is spread on the support 7 using an aqueous solution.
  • the support 7 consists of a fabric 9, in other words, the support 7 is obtained by weaving textile fibres and yarns.
  • the fabric is cotton 10
  • the fabric is towelling 11.
  • the support 7 is a non-woven fabric of the substantially known type.
  • the covering 6 is stain-resistant, that is to say, substances which accidentally come into contact with the article 1 do not penetrate the support 7, instead remaining on the surface of the covering 6 without reaching, in particular, the shell 4 and the soft material 5.
  • a liquid 12 remains suspended on the covering 6, in particular on the film 8.
  • the liquid 12 does not reach the support 7, which remains substantially dry.
  • the covering 6 is removable from the article 1, for example so that it may be washed, preferably in water.
  • the covering 6 is produced by immersing the support 7 in an aqueous solution containing the polyurethane.
  • the impregnated support 7 is subsequently passed through calendering means, of the known type and not described in further detail, then dried in the known way.
  • the invention brings important advantages.
  • the article for rest with the covering disclosed is water-repellent and breathable, guaranteeing comfortable contact with human skin.
  • the covering repels both moisture from the body and liquids accidentally spilled on the mattress or on the cushion.
  • the article for rest or the covering are ideal for particular situations involving prolonged immobility in bed, incontinence and the like.
  • the high level of breathability helps to prevent bedsores.
