Abstract

Mattress forming a surface (L) to lie on across its length and width has many adjoining core parts lying in the direction of the mattress's length which can be removed and which extend across the whole width. They are all enclosed by a shell body. A high variability of the course of the firmness throughout the lying surface is achieved, in that the core parts have at least two opposite-facing laying surfaces of different firmnesses (I,II,III, Iv) from which the surface on which to lie down on can be composed by turning selected core parts.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze, die eine Liegefläche mit einer Länge und einer Breite bildet, mit mehreren, in Richtung der Länge lösbar aneinander liegenden, sich jeweils über die volle Breite erstreckenden Kernteilen, die gemeinsam von einem Hüllkörper umschlossen sind.The invention relates to a mattress, which forms a lying surface with a length and a width, with a plurality of detachable in the direction of the length, each extending over the full width core parts, which are jointly enclosed by an enveloping body.

Aufgrund eines zunehmenden Komfortbedürfnisses der Menschen werden an Matratzen, auf denen der Nachtschlaf stattfindet, zunehmend erhöhte Anforderungen gestellt. Hinzu kommt, dass medizinische Erkenntnisse publiziert werden, die die Bedeutung eines erholsamen Nachtschlafs für die Menschen unterstreichen.Due to an increasing need for comfort of the people mattresses, on which the night sleep takes place, increasingly demanding. In addition, medical findings are published that emphasize the importance of a restful night sleep for the people.

Es ist daher bekannt, die Abstützung des menschlichen Körpers auf einer Matratze dadurch zu verbessern, dass. Matratzen über ihre Länge mit unterschiedlichen Härtezonen ausgebildet werden. Gebräuchlich sind dabei drei bis sieben Zonen unterschiedlicher Härte. Um dabei unterschiedlichen Gewichten, Konturen und Größen der menschlichen Körper Rechnung zu tragen, werden die Matratzen mit unterschiedlichen Grundhärten ausgeliefert. Ferner ist es bekannt, die Zonen einer Matratze beispielsweise an den typischerweise unterschiedlichen Kontur- und Gewichtsverlauf bei Frauen und Männern anzupassen.It is therefore known to improve the support of the human body on a mattress in that. Mattresses are formed over their length with different hardness zones. Common are three to seven zones of different hardness. In order to take into account different weights, contours and sizes of the human body, the mattresses are delivered with different basic hardness. Furthermore, it is known the zones of a mattress for example, to adapt to the typically different contour and weight course in women and men.

Obwohl somit zahlreiche unterschiedliche Matratzen zur Verfügung stehen, aus denen der Verbraucher die für ihn passende auswählen könnte, scheitert die Auswahl der zutreffenden Matratze daran, dass keine zuverlässigen Auswahlkriterien existieren. Die Auswahl einer Matratze lässt sich häufig durch ein kurzzeitiges Probeliegen in Verkaufsräumen nicht zuverlässig durchführen. So kann es bereits geschehen, dass ein Kunde sich bereits beim Probeliegen darüber täuscht, ob er eine härtere oder eine weichere Matratze bevorzugt. Die Eignung einer ausgewählten Matratze zeigt sich häufig erst nach einer längeren Benutzung über mehrere Nächte.Thus, while there are many different mattresses available for the consumer to choose from, the selection of the appropriate mattress fails because there are no reliable selection criteria. The selection of a mattress can often not be carried out reliably by a short-term test lying in sales rooms. So it can happen that a customer is already mistaken in the test lying, whether he prefers a harder or a softer mattress. The suitability of a selected mattress often only becomes apparent after prolonged use over several nights.

Durch DE 295 09 874 U1 ist es bereits bekannt, eine Matratze in der eingangs erwähnten Art mit mehreren Kernteilen auszubilden, die in Längsrichtung aneinander liegen und von einem gemeinsamen Hüllkörper in Form eines Matratzenbezugs, vorzugsweise mit einer die Auflagefläche bildenden gepolsterten Deckplatte, zu einer einstückig handhabbaren Matratze umschlossen werden. Dadurch soll es möglich sein, die einzelnen Kernteile gegeneinander auszutauschen, beispielsweise das stärker belastete Mittelteil gegen den Kopf- oder Fußteil einer dreiteiligen Matratze. Ferner können die Kernteile auch gegen Kernteile einer anderen Festigkeit (Härte) ausgetauscht werden, um so eine Anpassung der Härtegrade der verschiedenen Kernteile an den Längen-/Gewichtsverlauf des Körpers der liegenden Person zu erhalten.By DE 295 09 874 U1 It is already known to form a mattress in the manner initially mentioned with a plurality of core parts, which lie in the longitudinal direction and are enclosed by a common enveloping body in the form of a mattress cover, preferably with a support surface forming upholstered cover plate to a one-piece mattress. This should make it possible to exchange the individual core parts against each other, for example, the more heavily loaded middle part against the head or foot of a three-piece mattress. Furthermore, the core parts can also be exchanged for core parts of a different strength (hardness), so as to obtain an adaptation of the degrees of hardness of the various core parts to the length / weight profile of the body of the person lying.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Matratze der eingangs erwähnten Art mit einer noch höheren Variabilität für die Anpassung an individuelle Anforderungen auszubilden.The present invention has for its object to form a mattress of the type mentioned above with an even higher variability for adaptation to individual requirements.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß eine Matratze der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kernteile wenigstens zwei einander gegenüberliegende Auflageflächen unterschiedlicher Härte aufweisen, aus denen die Liegefläche durch Wenden der Kernteile wahlweise zusammensetzbar ist.To achieve this object, a mattress of the type mentioned in the invention is characterized in that the core parts have at least two mutually opposite bearing surfaces of different hardness, from which the lying surface by turning the core parts is optionally composable.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Matratze werden somit Kernteile verwendet, die zumindest in ihrem Aufbau so gestaltet sind, dass durch Wenden der Kernteile unterschiedliche Härten an der Auflagefläche entstehen. Bei Kernteilen mit einer größeren Länge - gesehen in Längsrichtung der Matratze - als Höhe können die Kernteile um 180° gewendet werden, um so an der Auflagefläche der Matratze unterschiedliche Härten zu erzeugen. Die Kernteile können dabei mit zwei unterschiedlichen Härten über ihre Höhe ausgebildet sein, sodass nach dem Wenden der Kernteile der weichere Teil bzw. der härtere Teil zur Oberseite der Matratze, die die Auflagefläche bildet, zeigt.The mattress according to the invention thus core parts are used, which are designed at least in their construction so that by turning the core parts different hardnesses on the support surface arise. For core parts with a greater length - seen in the longitudinal direction of the mattress - as a height, the core parts can be turned by 180 °, so as to produce different hardnesses on the support surface of the mattress. The core parts can be formed with two different hardnesses over their height, so that after turning the core parts of the softer part or the harder part to the top of the mattress, which forms the support surface shows.

Somit kann eine Matratze erstellt werden, die zumindest für den Bereich eines jeden Kernteils die Realisierung zweier unterschiedlicher Härten ermöglicht. Die Variabilität kann noch dadurch gesteigert werden, dass zumindest einige der Kernteile gleiche Abmessungen aufweisen, sodass ggf. auch noch mehr als zwei Härtegrade an einem der durch die Kernteile gebildeten Abschnitte realisierbar sind.Thus, a mattress can be created that allows for the realization of two different hardnesses, at least for the area of each core part. The variability can be further increased by the fact that at least some of the core parts have the same dimensions, so that possibly even more than two degrees of hardness can be realized on one of the sections formed by the core parts.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Matratze kann mit einer beliebigen Anzahl von Kernteilen zwischen drei und sieben oder mehr aufgebaut sein. Die Kernteile können dabei alle gleiche Abmessungen aufweisen, vorzugsweise sind jedoch Kernteile mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen eingesetzt, sodass sie Abschnitte unterschiedlicher Härtegrade mit verschiedenen Längen dieser Abschnitt ausbilden. Dabei können die Abschnitte zu einer Mittenebene der Matratze in Breitenrichtung symmetrisch ausgelegt sein, sodass Kopf- und Fußende der Matratze nicht unterschieden werden müssen. Bei einer unsymmetrischen Ausbildung muss das Kopfende bzw. Fußende der Matratze gekennzeichnet werden.A mattress according to the invention may be constructed with any number of core parts between three and seven or more. The core parts can all have the same dimensions, but preferably core parts are used with different dimensions, so that they form sections of different degrees of hardness with different lengths of this section. In this case, the sections may be designed symmetrically to a center plane of the mattress in the width direction, so that the head and foot of the mattress need not be distinguished. In the case of an asymmetrical design, the head end or foot end of the mattress must be marked.

Eine besondere Ausführungsform ergibt sich dann, wenn die Kernteile in Längsrichtung die gleichen Abmessungen aufweisen wie in Höhenrichtung, sodass sich in Breitenrichtung gesehen quadratische Querschnitte ergeben. In diesem Fall können bis zu vier unterschiedliche Härten an den Oberseiten der einzelnen Kernteile realisiert werden, wodurch die Variabilität der sich ergebenden Matratze natürlich nochmals gesteigert wird. Die Einstellung der jeweiligen Härtegrade erfolgt dann durch Wenden der Kernteile um 90°, 180° oder 270°. Gegebenenfalls kann eine Matratze über ihre Länge mit derartigen Kernteilen aufgebaut sein, wobei ggf. lediglich am oberen und unteren Ende der Matratze ein Endstück vorgesehen ist, dessen Härte nicht variabel sein muss.A particular embodiment results when the core parts have the same dimensions in the longitudinal direction as in the height direction, so that square cross-sections, as seen in the width direction, result. In this case, up to four different hardnesses can be realized on the tops of the individual core parts, which of course further increases the variability of the resulting mattress. The setting of the respective degrees of hardness is then carried out by turning the core parts by 90 °, 180 ° or 270 °. If necessary, a mattress be constructed along its length with such core parts, possibly only at the upper and lower end of the mattress, an end piece is provided, the hardness of which does not have to be variable.

Auch bei der erfindungsgemäßen Matratze kann ein Hüllkörper auf beiden Flachseiten mit einer sich über die Liegefläche erstreckenden abgepolsterten Deckplatte versehen sein, wobei die Materialqualität des Hüllkörpers bzw. der Deckplatten unterschiedlich sein kann, um beispielsweise eine im Winter geeignete wärmende Auflagefläche oder eine im Sommer geeignete eher kühlende Auflagefläche zu realisieren.Also in the case of the mattress according to the invention, an enveloping body can be provided on both flat sides with a padded cover plate extending over the lying surface, wherein the material quality of the enveloping body or cover plates can be different, for example a warming supporting surface suitable in winter or a suitable one in summer to realize cooling contact surface.

Die Variabilität einer erfindungsgemäßen Matratze mit den erfindungsgemäßen Kernteilen soll im Folgenden anhand von mehreren, in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
einen Matratzenkern bestehend aus drei gleichen Kernteilen
Figur 2
einen aus fünf Kernteilen gebildeten Matratzenkern, der in Längsrichtung symmetrisch aufgebaut ist
Figur 3
einen aus sieben Kernteilen gebildeten Matratzenkern in unsymmetrischer Anordnung

The variability of a mattress according to the invention with the core parts according to the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to several exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. Show it:
FIG. 1
a mattress core consisting of three identical core parts
FIG. 2
a mattress core formed of five core parts, which is constructed symmetrically in the longitudinal direction
FIG. 3
a mattress core formed from seven core parts in an asymmetrical arrangement
FIG. 4
one composed of a plurality of square cross-sectionally shaped core parts mattress core.

Gemäß Figur 1 ist der Matratzenkern, der von einem (nicht dargestellten) Hüllkörper zusammengehalten und umgeben wird, durch drei Kernteile A1, B1, C1 gebildet. Die Kernteile A1, B1, C1 sind über ihre Höhe H mit zwei unterschiedlichen Härtegraden I, II ausgebildet. Dies ist bei Schaumstoff-Kernteilen dadurch möglich, dass der Schaumstoff mit unterschiedlichen Dichten geschäumt wird. Bei Kernteilen einer Federkernmatratze können Federn mit unterschiedlicher Härte über die Höhe H eingesetzt werden.According to FIG. 1, the mattress core, which is held together and surrounded by an enveloping body (not shown), is formed by three core parts A1, B1, C1. The core parts A1, B1, C1 are formed over their height H with two different degrees of hardness I, II. This is possible with foam core parts in that the foam is foamed with different densities. In core parts of a spring mattress springs with different hardness over the height H can be used.

Die aneinander anliegenden Kernteile A1, B1, C1 bilden eine Auflagefläche L aus, deren Härteverlauf durch die Kernteile A1, B1, C1 einstellbar ist. Im Bereich des Kernteils A1 ist in dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der (weichere) Härtegrad I wirksam. Soll an dieser Stelle der härtere Härtegrad II wirksam sein, wird das Kernteil A1 um 180° gewendet, sodass nunmehr der Bereich größerer Härte II nach oben zeigt und die Auflagefläche L bestimmt. In analoger Weise wird die Auflagefläche L auch mittels der weiteren Kernteile B1 und C1 festgelegt, wobei die Härtegrade der Kernteile B1 und C1 gleich oder unterschiedlich zu den Härtegraden des Kernteils A1 sein können. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, das Kernteil B1 mit den Härtegraden II, III auszubilden und das Kernteil C1 wieder mit den Härtegraden I, II (wie beim Kernteil A1).The adjoining core parts A1, B1, C1 form a support surface L, whose hardness profile is adjustable by the core parts A1, B1, C1. In the area of the core part A1, the (softer) degree of hardness I is effective in the embodiment shown in FIG. If the harder degree of hardness II is to be effective at this point, the core part A1 is turned through 180 °, so that now the area of greater hardness II points upwards and determines the bearing surface L. In an analogous manner, the support surface L is also determined by means of the further core parts B1 and C1, wherein the degrees of hardness of the core parts B1 and C1 may be equal to or different from the degrees of hardness of the core part A1. For example, it is conceivable that the core part B1 with the Hardness grades II, III form and the core part C1 again with the degrees of hardness I, II (as with the core part A1).

Bei dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Matratzenkern durch fünf Kernteile A2, B2, C2, D2, E2 gebildet. Auch dabei sind für jedes Kernteil im oberen Bereich und unteren Bereich gemäß Figur 2 unterschiedliche Härtegrade realisiert. Die mögliche Variation des Härteverlaufs über die Länge der Auflagefläche L kann in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel noch dadurch vergrößert werden, dass die Kernteile A2, C2 und E2 ebenso wie die Kernteile B2 und D2 aufgrund ihrer jeweils gleichen Dimension in Längsrichtung gegeneinander austauschbar sind.In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the mattress core is formed by five core parts A2, B2, C2, D2, E2. Here, too, different degrees of hardness are realized for each core part in the upper region and lower region according to FIG. The possible variation of the hardness profile over the length of the support surface L can be further increased in this embodiment, that the core parts A2, C2 and E2 as well as the core parts B2 and D2 are interchangeable with each other due to their respective same dimension in the longitudinal direction.

Diese Möglichkeit entfällt bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einer Sieben-Zonen-Matratze, bei der die Kernteile A3, B3, C3, D3, E3, F3 und G3 einen festen Platz im Aufbau der Gesamtmatratze einnehmen und die Härtevariation lediglich durch Wenden des jeweiligen Kernteils A3 ... um 180° ermöglicht wird.This possibility is eliminated in the embodiment of a seven-zone mattress shown in Figure 3, in which the core parts A3, B3, C3, D3, E3, F3 and G3 take a firm place in the structure of the entire mattress and the hardness variation only by turning the respective Core part A3 ... is made possible by 180 °.

Bei dem in Figur 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Matratzenkern aus sich über die Breite der Matratze erstreckenden Kernteilen A4, die im Querschnitt quadratisch ausgebildet sind. Sie sind an ihren sich über die Breite erstreckenden Seitenflächen mit unterschiedlichen Härten I, II, III, IV ausgebildet, sodass durch Drehen der Kernteile A4 um 90° unterschiedliche Härten für die Auflagefläche L bereitgestellt werden können. Es ist ohne weiteres ersichtlich, dass bei einem derartig aufgebauten Matratzenkern mittels der Kernteile A4 eine sehr differenzierte individuelle Anpassung des Härteverlaufs über die Länge der Liegefläche L herstellbar ist, um die Anpassung an den individuellen Bedarf des Nutzers vorzunehmen.In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the mattress core consists of over the width of the mattress extending core parts A4, which are square in cross-section. They are formed at their widthwise extending side surfaces with different hardnesses I, II, III, IV, so that by turning the core parts A4 by 90 ° different hardnesses for the support surface L can be provided. It is readily apparent that in such a constructed mattress core by means of the core parts A4 a very differentiated individual adjustment of the hardness profile over the length of the lying surface L can be produced to make the adjustment to the individual needs of the user.
