Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze, deren Matratzenkern aus einer Auflageschicht aus viscoelastischem Schaum und einer Stützschicht aus weniger nachgiebigem Schaum besteht, die miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verklebt, sind.The invention relates to a mattress whose mattress core consists of a support layer of viscoelastic foam and a support layer of less resilient foam, which are connected to each other, in particular glued, are.

Im Handel sind Schaumstoffmatratzen erhältlich, bei denen eine Auflageschicht aus einem viscoelastischen Schaum besteht.Foam mattresses are commercially available in which a support layer consists of a viscoelastic foam.

Viscoelastische Schäume für die Auflageschicht einer Matratze haben den Vorteil, dass sie sich besser den Liegegewohnheiten eines Nutzers anpassen, als herkömmliche Schäume oder gar Federkernmatratzen. Durch geeignete Abstimmung beim Schäumen können verschiedene Härtegrade erreicht werden. Typisch sind im Handel harte, mittlere und weiche Matratzen erhältlich. Typisch bei den im Handel erhältlichen Matratzen dieser Bauart ist die Auflageschicht aus viscoelastischem Schaum auf einer Stützschicht aufgebracht, insbesondere aufgeklebt und sind beide Schichten etwa gleich dick. Dies genügt meist den üblichen Schlafgewohnheiten.Viscoelastic foams for the support layer of a mattress have the advantage that they adapt better to the sleeping habits of a user than conventional foams or even spring mattresses. By suitable tuning during foaming different degrees of hardness can be achieved. Hard, medium and soft mattresses are typically available on the market. Typically, in the commercially available mattresses of this type, the support layer of viscoelastic foam is applied to a support layer, in particular glued and both layers are about the same thickness. This usually meets the usual sleep habits.

Probleme treten jedoch dann auf, wenn, wie bei Patienten oder älteren Personen, die Beweglichkeit eingeschränkt ist oder es sich gar um pflegebedürftige Personen handelt. Ein zu starkes Einsinken in den viscoelastischen Schaum erschwert nicht nur die Betreuung durch Pflegepersonal sondern auch das selbständige Verlassen der Matratze.Problems arise, however, when, as in patients or elderly people, the mobility is limited or even be in need of care. Too much sinking into the viscoelastic foam makes it difficult not only to care by nursing staff but also the independent leaving the mattress.

Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Matratze der gattungsgemäßen Art derart weiterzubilden, dass sie besonders gut für in der Beweglichkeit eingeschränkte Nutzer oder gar Pflegefälle geeignet ist.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the invention to develop the mattress of the generic type such that it is particularly well suited for mobility impaired users or even nursing cases.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Auflageschicht eine Dicke besitzt, die ein Drittel bis ein Viertel der Gesamtdicke der Matratze beträgt.The object is achieved according to the present invention in that the support layer has a thickness which is one third to one quarter of the total thickness of the mattress.

Bei einer derartigen Größenbeziehung der Schichten zueinander und geeigneter Abstimmung der Schäume ist der gleiche Bequemlichkeitseffekt erreicht, ohne dass der Nutzer zu tief einsinkt, so dass der Nutzer auch bei eingeschränkter Beweglichkeit die Matratze verlassen kann und Pflegepersonal einen Liegenden gut pflegen kann.With such a size relationship of the layers to one another and suitable matching of the foams, the same comfort effect is achieved without the user sinking too deeply, so that the user is also restricted Mobility can leave the mattress and nursing staff can well care for a person lying down.

Die Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale der abhängigen Ansprüche weitergebildet. Von besonderem Vorteil ist das Vorsehen eines Randabschnitts größere Härte an zumindest einer zweckmäßig beiden Längsseiten der Stützschicht. Ein Benutzer stützt sich typisch beim Verlassen eines Bettes rückseitig an einer Längsseite der Matratze ab, bevor er sich vollständig aufrichtet, sei es mit oder ohne Unterstützung von Pflegepersonal. Wenn der Randabschnitt ohne als ernsthafte Kante zu wirken eine größere Härte als die Stützschicht besitzt, wird der Nutzer beim Aufstehen unterstützt.The invention is further developed by the features of the dependent claims. Of particular advantage is the provision of an edge portion of greater hardness on at least one expediently both longitudinal sides of the support layer. A user typically relies on the back of a long side of the mattress when leaving a bed before fully straightening up, either with or without the assistance of caregivers. If the edge portion has a greater hardness than the support layer without acting as a serious edge, the user is assisted in getting up.

Für den besonderen Anwendungsfall ist es ferner zweckmäßig an den Anwendungsfall angepasste Bezüge zu verwenden, insbesondere einen Inkontinenz geeigneten Bezug, der im Ernstfall in einfacher Weise gereinigt werden kann und der, so wie die Matratze, üblichen Desinfektions- und Reinigungsverfahren unterworfen werden kann.For the particular application, it is also appropriate to use the application adapted covers, especially an incontinence suitable cover, which can be cleaned in an emergency in a simple manner and, as the mattress, conventional disinfection and cleaning methods can be subjected.

Insbesondere ist es zweckmäßig die Materialien derart auszuwählen, dass sie autoklavierbar sind, also einer Wasserdampfbehandlung unter Druck von bis zu etwa 105°C ohne Beschädigung widerstehen können.In particular, it is expedient to select the materials such that they are autoclavable, ie can withstand steam treatment under pressure of up to about 105 ° C. without damage.

Die Erfindung wird anhand des in der einzigen Figur der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt perspektivisch den Aufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Matratze mit zugeordnetem Bezug.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown schematically in the single figure of the drawing. The drawing shows in perspective the structure of a mattress according to the invention with associated cover.

Eine Matratze 1 weist einen Matratzenkern 2 auf, der aus einer Übereinanderlagerung einer Stützschicht 3 und einer Auflageschicht 4 aus viscoelastischem Schaum besteht. Die Stützschicht 3 besteht ebenfalls aus einem Schaum, vorzugsweise aus einer Schaumart, die zusammen mit der Schaumart der Auflageschicht 4 recycelbar ist. Die beiden Schichten 3 und 4 sind fest miteinander verbunden, insbesondere ganz- oder teilflächig oder auch punktförmig verklebt.A mattress 1 has a mattress core 2, which consists of a superimposition of a support layer 3 and a support layer 4 of viscoelastic foam. The support layer 3 is also made of a foam, preferably of a type of foam, which is recyclable together with the foam of the support layer 4. The two layers 3 and 4 are firmly connected to each other, in particular wholly or partially bonded or even point-like.

An beiden Längsseiten des Matratzenkerns 2 weist die Stützschicht 3 Randabschnitte 5 auf, deren Schaummaterial höhere Härte besitzt als das Schaummaterial der Stützschicht 3. Im Querschnitt sind die Randbereiche grob angenähert etwa quadratisch. Die Randbereiche 5 können an die Stützschicht 3 angeformt sein, etwa durch geeignete Anpassung des Schäumvorganges. Zweckmäßig sind jedoch alle Bestandteile des Matratzenkerns aus Schaumzuschnitten gefertigt und fest miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verklebt.On both longitudinal sides of the mattress core 2, the support layer 3 on edge portions 5, the foam material has higher hardness than the foam material of the support layer 3. In cross section, the edge regions are roughly approximated approximately square. The edge regions 5 can be integrally formed on the support layer 3, for example by suitable adaptation of the foaming process. However, all are useful Components of the mattress core made of foam blanks and firmly connected to each other, in particular glued.

Wie dargestellt ist die Dicke der Auflageschicht 4 aus viscoelastischem Schaum derart, dass sie etwa ein Drittel bis ein Viertel der Gesamtdicke der Matratze beträgt. Bei einer typischen Gesamtdicke von 16 cm ist die Stützschicht 3 etwa 10 bis 12 mm dick und die Auflageschicht 4 dementsprechend 4 bis 6 cm dick. Die Breite des Randbereiches 5 liegt etwa in der Größenordnung der Dicke der Stützschicht 3, ist jedenfalls zumindest so breit, dass ein Nutzer ihr nicht als unangenehme Kante empfinden wird. Die Breite des Randbereiches 5 liegt daher etwa im Bereich von 6 bis 12 cm, bevorzugt bei 8 cm.As shown, the thickness of the viscoelastic foam overlay 4 is such that it is from about one third to one quarter of the total thickness of the mattress. With a typical total thickness of 16 cm, the support layer 3 is about 10 to 12 mm thick and the support layer 4 accordingly 4 to 6 cm thick. The width of the edge region 5 is approximately of the order of magnitude of the thickness of the support layer 3, but in any case is at least so wide that a user will not perceive it as an unpleasant edge. The width of the edge region 5 is therefore approximately in the range of 6 to 12 cm, preferably 8 cm.

Die vorgenannten Abmessungsbeziehungen erlauben es, Schaumstoffe auszuwählen, die zum einen ein konturengerechtes Einsinken des Nutzers und damit optimale Gewichtsverteilung bei der Auflageschicht 4 unter Unterstützung durch die Stützschicht 3 erreichen. Insbesondere Letztere erreicht die Unterstützung der Wirbelsäule. Die Stützschicht 3 erlaubt bei geeigneter Auswahl auch kinästetische Maßnahmen. Auf diese Art und Weise ist die erfindungsgemäße Matratze auch geeignet gegen Dekubitus und bei Schmerzen (also für die Dekubitus-Prophylaxe, die Dekubitustherapie und die Schmerztherapie). Das Vorsehen der Randbereiche 5 mit höherer Härte des Schaums als bei der Stützschicht 3 erlaubt dem Nutzer eine günstige und sehr sichere Sitzposition beim Aufstehen, insbesondere kann der Nutzer bei Betten mit hoher Liegefläche, wie sie insbesondere im Pflegebereich üblich sind, ohne Verlust am Komfort bei der Liegefläche aus der sicheren Sitzposition einfach nach außen gleiten und aufstehen. Dies erleichtert das Aufstehen bei insbesondere in der Beweglichkeit eingeschränkten Nutzern, insbesondere auch bei solchen Nutzern, die ein Aufstehen nur mit Unterstützung einer Pflegekraft durchführen können.The abovementioned dimensional relationships make it possible to select foams which, on the one hand, achieve a contoured sinking of the user and thus optimum weight distribution in the support layer 4 with the support of the support layer 3. Especially the latter achieves the support of the spine. The support layer 3 also allows kinesthetic measures with a suitable selection. In this way, the mattress according to the invention is also suitable for pressure ulcers and pain (ie for decubitus prophylaxis, decubitus therapy and pain therapy). The provision of the edge regions 5 with higher hardness of the foam than in the support layer 3 allows the user a favorable and very safe seating position when getting up, in particular, the user in beds with high lying surface, as they are customary especially in the care sector, without loss of comfort simply slide the lying surface out of the safe sitting position and stand up. This makes it easier to get up, especially in the case of mobility impaired users, especially those users who can only get up with the assistance of a caregiver.

Matratzen sind typisch mit einem Bezug versehen. Nachdem insbesondere ein viscoelastischer Schaum eine klebrig wirkende Oberfläche besitzt, die das Aufziehen eines Bezuges erheblich erschwert, ist es zweckmäßig, den Matratzenkern 2 mit einem sogenannten Nesselbezug 6 zu versehen, einer sehr großporigen oder gar netzartigen Baumwollhülle. Das Vorsehen eines solchen Nesselbezuges 6 hat darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass dieser Bezug mit angenähten Etiketten versehen werden kann, die bleibend kennzeichnen (etwa durch die Beschriftung "oben"), wo die Auflageschicht 4 des Matratzenkerns 2 angeordnet ist. Ein Bezug 7 kann dann in einfacher Weise übergezogen werden, da er auf dem Nesselbezug 6 leicht gleiten kann.Mattresses are typically provided with a cover. After, in particular, a viscoelastic foam has a tacky surface, which makes it difficult to put on a cover, it is expedient to provide the mattress core 2 with a so-called Nesselbezug 6, a very large-pored or net-like cotton sleeve. The provision of such Nesselbezuges 6 also has the advantage that this reference can be provided with sewn labels that permanently mark (as by the label "top"), where the support layer 4 of the mattress core 2 is arranged. A cover 7 can then be easily pulled over, as it can easily slide on the Nesselbezug 6.

Vorzugsweise weist der Bezug 7 zumindest an drei Seiten, zwei Längsseiten, einer Querseite, einen umlaufenden Reißverschluß 8 auf, um das Beziehen zu erleichtern. Zweckmäßig ist der Reißverschluß 8 derart vorgesehen, dass er durch Bezugmaterial streifenartig überdeckt werden kann, wobei eine solche Überdeckung 9 schematisch dargestellt ist. Diese Überdeckung 9 ist zweckmäßig derart, dass das freie Ende 10 der Überdeckung 9 bei richtig abgelegter Matratze 1 unten ist. Auch hier können als Orientierungshilfe Etiketten angenäht sein, die zweifelsfrei, auch im eiligen Betrieb eines Pflegeheims oder eines Krankenhauses die richtige Orientierung erlauben.Preferably, the cover 7 has at least three sides, two longitudinal sides, a transverse side, a circumferential slide fastener 8, to facilitate the covering. Suitably, the zipper 8 is provided such that it can be covered in strips by cover material, wherein such cover 9 is shown schematically. This covering 9 is expedient in such a way that the free end 10 of the covering 9 is down when the mattress 1 is stored correctly. Here, too, can be sewn as a guide labels that are beyond doubt, even in the urgent operation of a nursing home or a hospital to allow the correct orientation.

Grundsätzlich sind alle üblichen Bezugsmaterialien für den Bezug 7 geeignet. Allerdings muss bei in der Beweglichkeit eingeschränkten Nutzern und insbesondere pflegebedürftigen Nutzern mit erhöhter Inkontinenz gerechnet werden. Es ist daher zweckmäßig, für den Bezug 7 ein Inkontinenz geeignetes Material zu verwenden, vor allem ein PU-beschichtetes Trägermaterial (PU = Polyurethan), das bakterien- und virendicht ist, das absolut flüssigkeitsdicht, jedoch wasserdampfdurchlässig ist und vorzugsweise darüber hinaus reißfest und bi-elastisch, zumindest jedoch in Längsrichtung monoelastisch, ist.In principle, all conventional cover materials are suitable for the cover 7. However, in the case of agility-limited users and in particular users in need of care, increased incontinence must be expected. It is therefore expedient to use an incontinence suitable material for the cover 7, especially a PU-coated carrier material (PU = polyurethane), which is bacteria and virus-tight, which is absolutely liquid-tight, but permeable to water vapor and preferably beyond tear-resistant and bi -elastic, but at least monoelastic in the longitudinal direction.

Bei solchen Materialien ist eine Oberflächenreinigung durch Wischdesinfektion mittels üblicher aldehyd- und phenolfreier Desinfektionsmittel möglich. Selbstverständlich kann der Bezug 7 auch in üblicher Weise gewaschen werden, wenn er von dem Matratzenkern 2 wieder abgenommen ist.With such materials, surface cleaning by wiping disinfection by means of conventional aldehyde- and phenol-free disinfectants is possible. Of course, the cover 7 can be washed in the usual way when it is removed from the mattress core 2 again.

Bei geeigneter Auswahl der Materialien für die verschiedenen Bereiche des Matratzenkerns 2 kann eine Reinigung insbesondere der Oberfläche der Auflageschicht 4 mit Hilfe üblicher Reinigungsmittel in Wasser erfolgen.With a suitable selection of the materials for the different areas of the mattress core 2, cleaning, in particular of the surface of the support layer 4, can take place with the aid of customary cleaning agents in water.

Der Matratzenkern 2 ist bei geeigneter Auswahl der Materialien sogar autoklavierbar bei 75°C bis 105°C, was insbesondere dann unumgänglich und daher bei der Erfindung von großem Vorteil möglich ist, wenn der Matratzenkern 2 mit Keimen kontaminiert sein sollte. Dies erlaubt höhere Lebensdauer der Matratze insgesamt, während nicht autoklavierbare Matratzen bei jeder Kontamination mit Keimen als medizinischer Sondermüll kostspielig entsorgt werden müssen.The mattress core 2 is even autoclavable at 75 ° C to 105 ° C with a suitable choice of materials, which is particularly essential and therefore in the invention of great advantage is possible if the mattress core 2 should be contaminated with germs. This allows for a longer life of the mattress as a whole, while non-autoclavable mattresses must be disposed of costly at every contamination with germs as medical waste.
