Definitions
- This invention makes reference to a new type of mattress, which consists of a base, some joining means and a plurality of independent and elastic pieces that are removable and interchangeable to support the body.
- This invention consists of a mattress that is composed of a base and a variety of independent pieces which are removable from the base to support the body.
- the base is joined to such independent, removable pieces by means of removable joints, specifically adherent fabric of a Velcro type or similar, that allow such independent pieces to be taken out, integrated or exchanged with different or similar ones and consequently substituted by new pieces when these are damaged or in very bad condition.
- the adherent fabric which is integrated to the base as a piece of a joining means like Velcro or similar can cover the entire upper surface or can partially cover it when used as continuous or broken strips, although it should be noted that, for the purpose of the invention, such strips need to be placed in a quantity enough to be able to place the independent, removable pieces, whatever their shape or dimension, in any piece of said upper surface of such base.
- the independent, removable pieces are provided with a corresponding and complimentary fabric on the bottom part to complete the joining means of Velcro type or similar.
- this mattress is especially suitable for people during hospital treatment, particularly, for people that have suffered any type of fracture and/or injury that requires the patient to remain in bed or in the same position. Since the pieces mentioned are removable, the surface of the mattress under the fractured zone or injury can be endowed of independent pieces and of any convenient shapes and reduced dimensions than the rest of the independent pieces of the mattress with the sole purpose of not forcing the affected part of the patients body and therefore permitting the pressure of the mattress to be correct and allowing the recovery of the affected part. This includes, of course, the case in which an area of the mattress can have no pieces at all.
- the base of the mattress can have any kind of shape and be fabricated of any kind of material, elastic or semi-rigid and its dimensions can be variable according to its use and finality.
- An appropriate use of these variables allows to adapt the setting-up of this mattress to fit adult people or even children, and by extension, can be applicable to the manufacturing of cushions, seats and backing including those of vehicles, armrests, footrests, pillows, etc.
- the independent pieces can be obtained by lengthways and transversely cuts of a traditional mattress or by means of an independent manufacture for each type of piece; its form can be prismatic, cylindrical, conical or pyramidal trunk or any other type that can deform elastically when submitted to a perpendicular or slightly inclined load regarding the plan of the mattress base; its section can be square, circular, elliptical, polygonal or of any other form; its height can vary according to the needs of the user or patient; the material composition of the pieces will preferably be made out of natural or synthetic latex, even though any other adequate and elastic material can be used for the mattresses. Due to the simplicity of the mattresses design and the features of its independent, removable pieces, these can be assembled over the same base of independent pieces of different shapes, sections, heights and materials.
- This type of mattress which is composed of independent pieces favours the ventilation of the patient's body by circulating air, avoiding the multiple inconveniences of the classic mattresses. It also favours the cellular regeneration due to the massaging provided by the plurality of the independent pieces. It also avoids the formation of wounds produced by the friction between the skin and a hard surface.
- the independent pieces are separated by variable separations that can be controlled as desired without any limitation in dimension of such separations. This is due to being the main objective of the invention to provide independent, removable pieces so they can be easily joined or extracted from the base at any given place. Such separations are chosen according to the needs of the user or the injury that would need to be treated; if necessary, some of the independent pieces can be removed, for example, with certain wounds so they won't be in direct contact with the mattress.
- the independent pieces are of a smaller size; the space of separation between them can avoid the well known suffocation produced by the mattress in contact with the respiratory tract of children due to the mattress being of great help for breathing.
- Pieces with a greater height than the ones mentioned before can also be provided in the areas of the edge of the mattress so these can act as a type of barrier to avoid children falling off the bed.
- All of the pieces of the mattress are capable, as mentioned before, of being manufactured and commercialised at different times and places; they are all interchangeable and any of them can be substituted or cleaned if they are deteriorated or dirty.
- the mattress may or may not be covered.
- the cover can be provided of a lateral latch in all or in a few of the edges, such as a zipper, a pressure latch or similar, that would allow the easy access to its interior in order to extract, insert, interchange or alter the disposition of one or various of the independent and interchangeable pieces.
- a description of a preferred embodiment of the mattress of the invention is hereinafter disclosed, out of the many possible embodiments pursuant to the contents of the previous description, that also include not only mattresses but cushions, seats, and backrests including those of vehicles, armrests, footrests, pillows and other elements for the everyday rest of adult and children's bodies.
- the mattress (1) of the invention shows a base (3) of a parallelepiped shape, the flat upper side of which adheres by conventional known in the art, methods, to a continuous sheet or separate strips of auto adherent fabric of a Velcro type or similar, which will completely cover the top surface of the base (3).
- the complimentary sheet of the Velcro type or similar joining measure will adhere a plurality of independent pieces (4), previously cut according to the size of each independent piece (4).
- the independent pieces (4) are equal in dimension and prismatic shape.
- the independent pieces (4) are arranged over the base (3) provided with a continuous sheet or separate strips of auto adherent fabric (2) of a Velcro type or similar in a uniformed distribution according to a reticule set of perpendicular columns and rows leaving a small and constant separation between the adjacent independent pieces (4).
- the mattress may or may not be covered (1).
- the cover will be provided of lateral latches in all or some of the sides, such as zippers, pressure latches or other types.
