Definitions

  • the invention relates to cushions and upholstery.
  • Cushions and upholstery regularly have a strong curvature. The same applies to upholstery. Nevertheless, cushions and upholstery in the middle and on the edge usually have the same flexibility. This results from the cushion filling, which is evenly distributed in the enclosed volume. The same applies to upholstery.
  • a pad assembly which includes a combination of a conventional pad filling with a water filling.
  • the cushion cover has two chambers, one of which is intended for a conventional pillow filling and of which the other is equipped for a water filling.
  • the plastic is usually polyurethane.
  • U.S. Patent 4,896,338 shows a foam layer.
  • the foam layer is formed as a winding.
  • measures are required to stabilize the winding in its position.
  • a backfilling of the gusset spaces is provided. From this, one of ordinary skill in the art concludes that the coil will dissolve without the measures.
  • the viscoelastic polyurethane foam is a significant advancement.
  • This foam has a glass point which is in the range of room temperature, preferably slightly below room temperature.
  • the result is an altered compliance behavior with a slight warming by the person lying. This heating causes a further sinking of the lying People.
  • the concept is based on the realization that the greatest warming takes place where the body has the largest mass.
  • the cushions and upholstery should be made of a spacer knit.
  • spacer fabrics have two spaced layers of fabric which are spaced by filaments or fibers.
  • several layers should be laid one on top of the other and warmed up to a pillow or cushion.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the comfort. According to the invention this is achieved in that the superimposed layers of knitted or woven or knitted fabrics are stepped towards the edge of the pillows and upholstery. The steps result from smaller dimensions of the woven / knitted fabric / knitted layers. Optionally, equal stages are provided. That is, the widths and lengths of the superposed fabric / knitted fabric / knit layers are each reduced by the same amount. The same applies to the diameters of the layers for round cushions and upholstery. The same applies to rounding of the layers for rounded cushions and upholstery.
  • the DE19736951A1 shows the use of a spacer knit, for automobile seats.
  • the section shows the cross section for the installation of the spacer knitted fabric 1 in the seat, wherein the spacer fabric 1 zwichen padding 7 ands a seat cover 6 is installed.

  • spacer fabrics On vehicles, spacer fabrics have already prevailed. Exemplary is on the U.S. Patent 6,629,724 directed. The spacer fabrics are intended to ventilate the seat so that moisture accumulated by sweating evaporates and the steam can be drawn off. The distances can be up to 15 mm. Spacer fabrics are also known in textiles. There they should ventilate waterproof layers. Exemplary is on the U.S. Patent 6,716,778 directed.

  • single-layer pillows are provided.
  • the spacer fabrics are created in the final form. This can be achieved by changing the weaving or knitting process. In principle, this may result in a change in the programming of the associated manufacturing machines. For large quantities of tissue this includes an optimal solution, also an economic solution. For smaller amounts of tissue, changing the programming is extremely expensive.
  • the assembly according to the invention a small effort is achieved even for small series.
  • spacer fabrics for producing mattresses are deformed by contact with a solid heat transfer medium and by application of a liquid or solid heat transfer medium.
  • Pillows can be made on the way in a desired shape.

  • the steam can also reach temperatures of more than 100 degrees Celsius. In that case steam is used, which is under increased pressure. At higher pressure, the steam can easily be heated well over 100 degrees Celsius.
  • hot gases can be used as heat transfer. With the hot gases all temperatures can be reached, which is required for the thermoforming of eligible plastics. This also applies to the thermoforming of polyester, which has a high melting point. In the form of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the melting point is 250 degrees Celsius or more.
  • the gaseous or liquid heat transfer medium can penetrate the knitted fabric or knitted fabric well and ensure uniform contact everywhere. This is synonymous with a uniform warming.
  • a non-uniform heating can take place, for example, to leave the tissue parts unchanged, which should experience no or only a small permanent deformation.
  • an oven is suitable, both an intermittently operated oven and a continuously operated oven.
  • Continuously operated furnaces are, for example, tunnel kilns in which the products are continuously passed through. In the ovens, the temperature can be kept arbitrarily or lowered or controlled. The length of a continuous furnace results from the desired duration of the heat treatment and the conveying speed of the furnace.
  • the cooling can be accelerated with a suitable coolant.
  • the coolant may be gaseous or liquid.
  • As a coolant and cooling air is suitable.

  • the knitted, woven or knitted fabric can also be readily cooled with a liquid coolant, in particular with water, because the water flows easily from the knitted fabric, knitted fabric and knits and because the knitted fabric then knits very quickly thereafter.
  • the drying can be promoted with drying air or drying gas.
  • a drying gas for example, the exhaust gas from a heating of the knitted fabric, fabric or knitted fabric with gas as the heat transfer medium. That is, it may be advantageous to first heat the knitted fabric, woven fabric or knitted fabric with a gaseous heat transfer medium for hot deformation, to cool it after deformation with water and then to bring about drying with the exhaust gas from the first heating. It may be appropriate to bring the exhaust gas by mixing with ambient air to a lower temperature for the drying of the fabric, knitted or knitted fabric.
  • the heating can be controlled very precisely. This applies both to the duration of the heating and to the course of the heating and also to the height of the outside of the filaments, fibers, etc. temperature applied.

  • the gaseous or liquid heat carrier is introduced between the spaced outer layers.
  • the heat transfer agents transfer the heat to the filaments, fibers and threads that connect the outer layers.
  • the heating may take place before deformation or during deformation or after preforming. It is favorable to heat before deformation, because the supply of the gaseous or liquid heat carrier is thereby simplified and because the resistance to deformation is then very low. It is also favorable to supply the gaseous or liquid heat carrier after deformation, because the energy consumption is then particularly low.
  • heating filaments, fibers and filaments relax and remain in the deformed state after subsequent cooling. That is, the knitted, woven and knitted fabric retains the desired shape after release.
  • the gaseous or liquid heat transfer medium are abandoned intermittently. Then, the heating process is prolonged and the heating process can be well controlled by the number of impacts of the heat carrier.

  • the woven, knitted and knitted fabrics can be loaded at any desired point with the gaseous or liquid heat carrier. This is possible on both the spaced layers and the side surfaces between the spaced layers.
  • the gaseous or liquid heat carrier then flows through the fabric or knitted fabric or knits to emerge at a predetermined location again. With the outlet opening or the outlet openings, the flow can be directed. In addition, the flow can be influenced by applying a negative pressure to the outlet opening or outlet openings.

From a hygienic point of view, this is much more advisable than a replacement of the used cushion cover against a washed cushion cover and continued use of an unwashed pillow filling. This is particularly important for the use of cushions for patients or nursing cases.
  • the cushion cover is peelable to appeal to traditional customers who wish to wash the pillow cover more frequently than the pillow fill.
  • the cushions in the initial shape width dimensions and length dimensions which vary from 30cm to 100cm arbitrarily and can be combined.
  • the dimensions of different pads differ by at least 10cm.
  • the thickness of the pads is preferably 10 to 25 cm.
  • the pads are composed of knit fabrics which may have a basis weight of from 100 grams per square meter to 600 grams per square meter.
  • a higher grammage of fabric layers per square meter (specific basis weight) is not necessarily equivalent to greater thickness of the fabric layers.
  • a lower specific basis weight is not necessarily synonymous with a smaller thickness.
  • the cushions can also be shaped as designated support cushions.
  • one of the cushion surfaces on the body side is adapted to the body part to be supported.
  • These include cervical pillows, back cushions, hip pads and knee pads.
  • the compressive strength and the thickness of the cushions is preferably selected so that a person to be supported with at least a body weight of 50 kg does not pass through the relevant body part. Even more preferably, this also applies to persons with a body weight of at least 100 kg.
  • Sleeping means The user feels a firm pad under the pillow.
  • Cushions can exhibit spacer fabric layers according to the invention with significantly higher specific basis weights than cushions.
  • the specific basis weights can be up to 1500 grams per square meter and more.
  • upholstery can have a much higher compressive strength than the pillows.
  • the thickness of the upholstery is usually less than the thickness of the pillows.
  • the sagging applies in the corresponding application on seats. That is, the upholstery should carry people with a body weight of at least 50 kg, preferably at least 100 kg, without the people sitting through the pad.
