Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of mattresses or similar, especially made of latex, by means of the reversible combination of component modules, and mattresses or similar thus obtained.
  • the need for varying the performance properties of mattresses and similar is known in the art, in order to comply with the human anatomy, by realizing different parts of them with different compliance, density or other.
  • the mattress part corresponding to the area around the shoulder is more compliant, in order to allow a more comfortable position of the pelvis, by letting the shoulders sink deeply into the mattress, while the area corresponding to the pelvis receives a higher support.
  • Latex mattresses have now been used for many years for their high performance and durability.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome all the drawbacks mentioned above and to provide a method for manufacturing mattresses or similar, preferably but not exclusively made of latex foam or other compound material, being modular and with different shapes and dimensions, wherein the different modules are connected in a reversible way by means of joints made of latex foam or of other material, in order to obtain products which are more comfortable, flexible, dynamic and assembled in a completely reversible way.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method for the manufacturing of a mattress or similar, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
  • the present invention relates also to a mattress, or a pillow, or an armchair, or a sofa with possibly a built-in bed, obtained by means of said method.
  • the subject of the present invention is in particular a method for the manufacturing of mattresses or similar, especially made of latex, by means of the reversible combination of component modules, and mattresses or similar thus obtained.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method for the manufacturing of mattresses obtained by horizontally and/or vertically combining modular elements made of latex foam or other material, joined together by elastic joints made of latex foam or of other material of different dimension and geometries which, being inserted in appropriate slots made in the modules, realize the reversible combination and may perform in a different way according to the comfort characteristics that are wanted.
  • Figures 1.1 and 1.2 show a first embodiment of at least one part of the mattress, by placing, side by side, two modules 1, 2 having a honeycomb configuration comprising hollow cells. The two modules are connected to each other along the broken line of figure 1.1 .
  • the modules 1 and 2 may be realized with different colours, mechanical properties, performance properties, dimensions. They are preferably made of latex or latex foam, with natural or synthetic compound.
  • slots 3 of the vertical cut type are made, one slot for each external cell of the module itself.
  • connection between the modules ( fig 1.4 ) is obtained by insertion, in the slots matching between adjacent modules, of appropriate joints 4, one of them being shown in fig. 2 .
  • the joint 4 is made of a part in the middle having a regular elongated shape, to which two lateral ends 4.1 having an expanded section, larger than the one in the middle, are connected. When the joint is inserted, its middle part fills the slots of the corresponding matching cells of the two modules, while the side ends having a larger section expand in the cavities of the two matching cells, keeping them firmly connected.
  • the joint may be made of latex or of other material preferably elastic.
  • the joints may be easily removed, for example in order to substitute a module, thus obtaining the reversibility of the connection.
  • Figures 3.1 and 3.2 represent a second embodiment of at least one part of the mattress by means of the connection of modules 5 and 6 by means of a second embodiment of the joint 7.
  • the modules are vertically connected in the direction of the height of the mattress.
  • the joint 7 is made by an enlarged middle part which may be shaped in different ways: for example in the figures it has a cylindrical shape, but for example it may also have a round shape. From the middle part of the joint two extensions 9, 10 branch off, suitable for being completely inserted in corresponding holes 8 made in the two modules in order to join them.
  • the two modules embody two corresponding layers in the structure of the mattress.
  • the modules 5 and 6 may have different color, mechanical properties, performance properties and dimensions, and are preferably made of latex or latex foam, having natural or synthetic compound.
  • the joint 7 may be made of latex or of other material preferably elastic.
  • the elastic joint thus positioned allows to obtain a rotational movement of the upper module with respect to the lower module, thus facilitating the adaptation of the mattress to the anatomic curves of the user.
  • modules may be placed side by side and connected in order to obtain structures of mattresses having different configuration and dimensions.
  • joints may be easily removed, for example in order to replace a module, thus obtaining the reversibility of the connection.
  • This second embodiment also allows to cross join more modules, by using for example the method described for the first embodiment, namely by employing elastic joints in order to obtain an horizontal reversible connection of the modules.
  • the combination of the modules may take place horizontally in order to obtain the same layer, in the direction of the length of the mattress, or vertically in order to obtain different layers, in the direction of the height of the mattress.
  • the joint In the vertical case, the joint has also the function to space out the modules, and therefore has an impact on the performance, giving to the structure lightness and softness, because when the two modules are far from the joint, the relative part of the mattress has a certain rigidity, which may change when the two parts are in contact because they are pressed again each other so that the joint disappears between them. In this case the joint may also reciprocally orient the two parts, making them pivot.
  • the mattress thus obtained may more easily comply with the shape of elastic frames which are not flat, but undulated, for example in order to create different positions, also for being sit, and to facilitate the adaptation to the anatomic curves of the person laying on it.
  • This system for horizontally or vertically joining modules by means of joints may be applied in mattresses, pillows and in other products such as armchairs, sofas, or sofa beds.
