Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mattress arrangement in particular to be used as therapeutic mattress to support body portions of a patient.
  • this mattress overlay With this mattress overlay the area of increased thickness, which conventionally has been provided by a pillow may be provided by way of rolling the second mattress layer.
  • This mattress layer is covered by the first layer, on which the patient rests.
  • the second layer is part of the first layer or according to another embodiment disclosed attached to the first layer. In the part of this mattress overlay, in which the first and second mattress layers are not attached to one another the second layer may be rolled up to create the area of increased thickness.
  • the mattress overlay as such is to be arranged on top of a conventional mattress.
  • EP 1,034,767 A2 describes a similar mattress arrangement.
  • the top mattress and the bottom mattress are not united in the disclosed mattress arrangement.
  • the bottom mattress layer is made up of a plurality of discrete elongate portions extending longitudinally of the mattress arrangement.
  • the elongate portions may individually or together be rolled up in order to create an area of increased mattress thickness for the support of a body portion. For an facilitated easy rolling up of more than one elongate portions these are fastenable together.
  • wedges may be used instead of using a foldable second mattress layer arranged beneath a top mattress layer in order to build areas of increased thickness supporting certain body parts.
  • the use of such wedges is disclosed for example in DE 10 2006 0317 092 A1 .
  • the wedges have a defined geometry and simply need to be arranged under a top mattress layer. These are typically used under a conventional mattress.
  • wedges When using wedges in order to change the topography of the top side of a mattress the mattress used needs to be lifted in order to introduce the wedge.
  • mattresses, in particular high quality mattresses are rather heavy in weight. Therefore, it may sometimes not be easy for a single person to bring the wedge into position.
  • DE 94 13 504 U1 discloses a mattress arrangement having two flat mattress modules in a loose arrangement to each other.
  • the thickness and the hardness of the mattress modules increases from the top mattress module to the lower mattress module.
  • relief of the backbone is achieved as well as a support effect for an individual body zone support.
  • the two mattress modules may be fastened to each other, whereas the fastening means may be connected to the sides of a covering enclosing the mattress.
  • US 6,115,861 A similar mattress arrangement is further disclosed in US 6,115,861 .
  • This mattress arrangement comprises a mattress foundation like box springs, a stationary deck of a bed, an articulating deck of a bed or the like.
  • the mattress foundation is not a mattress module.
  • On top of this foundation is a mattress and on top of that a pillow top.
  • US 6,115,861 also discloses a mattress arrangement comprising two mattress layers. Neither DE 94 13 504 U1 nor US 6,115,861 are designed, that one layer or part of it should be formed in order to create a support area for a certain body zone.
  • the present invention alleviates the above-mentioned deficiencies by way of a mattress arrangement comprising at least two mattress modules, whereas each mattress module is made up of a resilient module body and a covering enclosing the module body, and whereas the mattress modules of the mattress arrangement are detachably fastened to each other by way of fastening means and each mattress module comprises one or more first fastening means connected to complementary second fastening means of another mattress module of the arrangement, whereas the individual mattress modules of the mattress arrangement differ from one another by way of their geometries and/or their hardness and/or their durability and/or their covering and/or any other feature having influence on the functionality, whereas the mattress arrangement comprises three basically flat mattress modules and whereas the bottom module is a weight-support module and thus shows a higher hardness, the top module is a layer module and is thus softer, and the forming module is sandwiched between the top module and the bottom module to be brought into different shapes for supporting a body part resting on the top surface of the top mattress module.
  • This mattress arrangement combines a widespread variability of combining several individual mattress modules to make up an individually different mattress arrangement.
  • a mattress arrangement may be supplied which is individually adapted to the needs of a patient.
  • the mattress arrangement supplied to a patient may be altered in the way of supporting of certain body parts.
  • the individual mattress modules each have a covering enclosing a resilient module body. The hardness and the durability of this module body is adapted to the intended use of this mattress module. Thus, the module body of some mattress modules may be softer than others.
  • the covering of each mattress module makes handling of such mattress modules easier, in particular also in respect of cleaning and/or disinfecting them. Further, the covering may be used to attach grips or the like.
  • the individual mattress modules of such mattress arrangement comprise first and/or second fastening means in order to fasten one mattress module to another mattress module. Fastening the individual mattress modules to one another gives the mattress arrangement, built up of at least two mattress modules, the required shape stability.
  • the fastening means of the mattress modules are intended for detachably fastening the mattress modules to one another. Providing detachable fastening means makes it easy to configure a mattress arrangement and/or to change the mattress arrangement.
  • Such a mattress arrangement is thus the result of a modular mattress system comprising several different mattress modules, which differ in geometry and/or hardness and/or durability and/or covering or in at least one other feature having influence on the functionality or purpose of the mattress arrangement.
  • any suitable fastening means may be used.
  • This term comprises the use of fastening means being part of or attached to the mattress modules to be fastened to one another.
  • Fastening means in the terminology of this dis-closer also comprises means that keep the individual mattress modules of a mattress arrangement in form and shape, without that the mattress modules are directly fastened to one another.
  • Such means may be understood as a fastening blanket or plaid covering a mattress arrangement and holding the mattress modules in place by may of its sideflaps.
  • Fastening two mattress modules to one another may be achieved by using buttons, velcro or zippers to give some examples.
  • the fastening means are preferably arranged on the sidewalls of a mattress module or attached to an edge, preferably to a longitudinal edge of such module.
  • the fastening means comprise first and second fastening means, whereas the first fastening means are arranged on one mattress module and the second fastening means are arranged on the other mattress module to be fastened to the first mattress module.
  • a flexible fitted sheet may be placed on top of the top mattress module of the mattress arrangement.
  • Such sheet is a stretch-fit-sheet and provides a wrinkle free surface.
  • Such flexible fitted sheet may be fastened to the top mattress module by extending around the corners of the mattress module.
  • such flexible fitted sheet is used as a fastening blanket as described before but provides on top of holding the individual mattress modules in their intended arrangement and thus fastening the mattress modules to provide a wrinkle or crease free surface, on which a patient may rest.
  • fastening means are provided pair-wise to define a set of fastening means. These are made up of each a first and a second fastening means provided on one mattress module whereas the complementary fastening means pair is arranged in a complementary manner on said other mattress module. Further, it is possible to arrange one part of the fastening means on a flap attached to one mattress module, for example the upper one, and extending to the sidewall of the mattress module arranged adjacent, for example below to this mattress module.
  • the second fastening means are preferably arranged on the sidewall of that second mattress module.
  • the flap may be limited in its size to carry the first fastening means and to reach to the second fastening means supplied on the second mattress module.
  • a flap may also be arranged in a curtain-like circumferential manner or along the longitudinal sides on an upper mattress module to cover the fastening means and/or the joint between the upper mattress module and the one arranged beneath this.
  • curtain-like flap can extend in its height to the sidewall of the lowest mattress module thus covering all joints. The intention of such flaps is to prevent for example cleaning liquids to enter between two mattress modules. Further, using such flaps covers the fastening means. Further, such one or more flaps can be arranged detachable to the top mattress module.
  • one or more of the mattress modules have second fastening means arranged in different heights on the sidewall. This gives the possibility to fasten the first fastening means on the mattress module in different heights on the sidewall on the second mattress module. With such arrangement the hardness of the combined mattress module is adjustable due to a possible pre-compression of the module bodies when the tighter fastening position is used, in particular of the module body with the second fastening means.
  • the coverings of the module body as such are typically designed to be easy cleaned, in particular disinfected. It is possible to have one or both facing sides of two mattress modules arranged on top of each other covered or provided with anti-slip means, which could be an anti-slip coating applied to the covering.
  • FIG 1 shows by way of example different mattress modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • the mattress modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 differ in their geometry and/or their size and/or in the hardness or durability of their module body.
  • the module body of each mattress module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is made up of a resilient material typically used for mattress applications, such as foam, latex, pocket springs, gel, polyester fibers or the like.
  • the module bodies of the individual mattress modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are adapted in respect of the before mentioned features to the intended use of the individual module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • Each mattress module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is enclosed by a covering.
  • the covering used could be any flexible material to cover the individual module body.
  • the covering is a fabric, in particular coated with a breathable, impervious, elastic coating, for example made of polyurethane.
  • the covering enclosing the module body of each mattress module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is adapted to the size of the module body. Attached to the covering of each mattress module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are fastening means to fasten one mattress module to another mattress module.
  • zippers are used as fastening means. On the longitudinal edges of each mattress module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 one half of a zipper is arranged. The positions of the zipper parts are indicated in figure 1 with the mattress modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 by the black line marked with reference numeral 6 with mattress module 1.
  • the zipper parts 6 attached to the covering of the mattress module 1 are arranged along the longitudinal lower edges 7 in two individual sections.
  • the mattress module 1 is a mattress module to be used as a top layer of a mattress arrangement. Therefore, the zipper parts 6 are arranged on both bottom longitudinal edges 7.
  • the module body of this mattress module 1 shows an elasticity for comfortable laying.
  • the module body of the mattress module 1 could be described with soft.
  • the size of the mattress module 1 is adapted to fill the laying surface of a bed.
  • mattress modules not depicted in figure 1 are part of the mattress module system. These mattress modules have the same size like the mattress module 1 but differ from the mattress module 1 by their hardness and possibly their thickness. In order to have a base mattress layer as a support the module body of such a mattress module is harder. Such mattress module shows zipper parts its top longitudinal edges. These zipper parts are complementary to the zipper parts of mattress module 1, so they may be put together with the zipper parts of mattress module 1 in order to fasten these two modules with one another.
  • Still further mattress modules of the same size as mattress module 1 are provided to be part of a mattress arrangement, which are sandwiched between a top layer mattress module and a bottom layer mattress module and to be used as a forming layer in order to roll and/or fold or otherwise deform this mattress module to provide one or more mattress areas of increased thickness to support certain body parts of a patient resting on the top mattress module. Therefore, such mattress module has a module body adapted to be folded and/or rolled and/or otherwise to be deformed without breaking.
  • the mattress module 2 depicted in figure 1 has a smaller size in the length of the mattress module 1.
