Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze.The invention relates to a mattress.
Matratzen als Auflagen in Betten sind in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen im Einsatz. Generell ist es bekannt, derartige Matratzen aus unterschiedlichen übereinanderliegenden Schichten bestehend zu fertigen, um durch eine geeignete Materialwahl der Schichten die Eigenschaften der Matratze, insbesondere deren Einfederverhalten, vorzugeben.Mattresses as beds in beds are in various embodiments in use. Generally, it is known to make such mattresses consisting of different superimposed layers in order to specify by a suitable choice of material of the layers, the properties of the mattress, in particular their Einfederverhalten.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Matratze bereitzustellen, die einerseits flexibel und kostengünstig herstellbar ist und zugleich einen hohen Liegekomfort bietet.The invention has for its object to provide a mattress, on the one hand flexible and inexpensive to produce and at the same time offers a high level of comfort.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 vorgesehen. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.To solve this problem, the features of claim 1 are provided. Advantageous embodiments and expedient developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze mit einen Aufnahmeraum begrenzenden Begrenzungselementen sowie polyederförmigen Einsatzelementen, die im Aufnahmeraum mit aneinander angrenzenden Seitenflächen angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a mattress with a receiving space limiting boundary elements and polyhedral insert elements, which are arranged in the receiving space with adjoining side surfaces.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die erfindungsgemäße Matratze einen modularen Aufbau aufweist, der einerseits eine rationelle Fertigung ermöglicht und andererseits eine flexible und insbesondere individuelle Vorgabe der Eigenschaften der Matratze ermöglicht.A significant advantage of the invention is that the mattress according to the invention has a modular structure, on the one hand allows a rational production and on the other hand allows flexible and in particular individual specification of the properties of the mattress.
Die Einsatzelemente bilden in dem Aufnahmeraum eine ebene, matrixförmige Anordnung. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung besteht dabei darin, dass die Seitenflächen benachbarter Einsatzelemente aneinander liegen und damit Kontaktflächen ausbilden, das heißt die jeweils benachbarten Einsatzelemente sind in Kontakt miteinander.The insert elements form a planar, matrix-like arrangement in the receiving space. An essential aspect of the invention consists in the fact that the side surfaces of adjacent insert elements lie against each other and thus form contact surfaces, that is, the respective adjacent insert elements are in contact with each other.
Damit können generell Eigenschaften von einem Einsatzelement zum nächsten übertragen werden und so in Längs- und/oder Querrichtung der Matratze übertragen werden. Beispielsweise können Druck- oder Zugbelastungen auf die Einsatzelemente gegeben und entlang benachbarter Elemente weitergegeben werden. Weiterhin können Mittel zur Einstellung der Steifigkeit, Elastizität vorgesehen sein, deren Einstellgrößen von einem Einsatzelement zum nächsten weitergegeben werden. Generell können auch Belüftungseigenschaften vorgegeben und von einem Einsatzelement zum nächsten weitergegeben werden. Generell besteht dabei zur Weitergabe derartiger Eigenschaften über die angrenzenden Seitenflächen eine geeignete Wirkverbindung zwischen den Einsatzelementen. Insbesondere können in den einzelnen Einsatzelementen Einstellelemente zur Vorgabe insbesondere mechanischer Eigenschaften vorgesehen sein, wobei über die Kontaktflächen Einstellungen der Einstellelemente von einem Einsatzelement zum nächsten weitergegeben werden. Hierzu können benachbarte Einsatzelemente über Kopplungselemente miteinander verbunden sein.Thus, properties can generally be transferred from one insert element to the next and thus transferred in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the mattress. For example, compressive or tensile loads can be applied to the insert elements and passed along adjacent elements. Furthermore, means for adjusting the stiffness, elasticity can be provided, whose setting variables are passed from one insert element to the next. In general, ventilation properties can also be predetermined and passed on from one insert element to the next. In general, there is a suitable operative connection between the insert elements for passing on such properties via the adjacent side surfaces. In particular, adjusting elements for specifying, in particular, mechanical properties can be provided in the individual insert elements, settings of the setting elements being passed from one insert element to the next via the contact surfaces. For this purpose, adjacent insert elements can be connected to one another via coupling elements.
Generell können die Seitenflächen benachbarter Einsatzelemente lose, das heißt ohne Befestigungen aneinander liegen. Der Kontakt zwischen den Seitenflächen ergibt sich dann allein durch den Anpressdruck zwischen den Einsatzelementen nachdem diese in den Aufnahmeraum eingelegt werden.In general, the side surfaces of adjacent insert elements can be loose, that is, without attachments to each other. The contact between the side surfaces is then obtained solely by the contact pressure between the insert elements after they are inserted into the receiving space.
Alternativ können auch Fixierelemente, insbesondere mechanisch reversibel lösbare Befestigungen, vorgesehen sein, um benachbarte Einsatzelemente mit aneinander angrenzenden Seitenflächen zu fixieren. Derartige Fixierelemente können beispielsweise dadurch gebildet sein, dass von einer Seitenfläche eines Einsatzelements ein oder mehrere Vorsprünge hervorstehen, die in korrespondierende Ausnehmungen in der Seitenfläche des benachbarten Einsatzelements eingeführt werden können. Die Vorsprünge können einstückig mit dem Einsatzelement ausgebildet sein und damit aus demselben Material wie das Einsatzelement bestehen. Alternativ können an der Seitenfläche eines Einsatzelements ausmündende Haken vorgesehen sein, die in Ösen an angrenzenden Einsatzelementen eingehängt werden. Schließlich können die Fixierelemente auch aus Klettbändern bestehen.Alternatively, it is also possible to provide fixing elements, in particular mechanically reversibly detachable fastenings, in order to fix adjacent insert elements with adjoining side faces. Such fixing elements can be formed, for example, by protruding from a side surface of an insert element one or more projections which can be inserted into corresponding recesses in the side surface of the adjacent insert element. The projections may be formed integrally with the insert element and thus consist of the same material as the insert element. Alternatively, hooks may be provided on the side surface of an insert element and hooked into eyelets on adjacent insert elements. Finally, the fixing can also consist of Velcro.
Besonders vorteilhaft weisen die Einsatzelemente identische Außenabmessungen auf.Particularly advantageously, the insert elements have identical outer dimensions.
Dadurch können die Einsatzelemente in beliebiger Reihenfolge im Aufnahmeraum aneinander gelegt werden. Insbesondere können die Einsatzelemente einzeln oder in Gruppen ausgetauscht werden.As a result, the insert elements can be placed in any order in the receiving space together. In particular, the insert elements can be exchanged individually or in groups.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft weisen die Einsatzelemente zumindest teilweise unterschiedliche Eigenschaften auf.Further advantageously, the insert elements at least partially different properties.
Durch das Einbringen von verschiedene Eigenschaften aufweisenden Einsatzelementen können die Eigenschaften der Matratze, insbesondere deren Festigkeit oder Nachgiebigkeit, gezielt ortsabhängig vorgegeben werden. Durch eine geeignete Wahl der Größe der einzelnen Einsatzelemente im Verhältnis zur Größe, insbesondere Grundfläche des Aufnahmeraums, kann eine hohe Ortsauflösung bei der Einstellung der Eigenschaften der Matratze erzielt werden. Generell ist die Ortsauflösung umso höher desto mehr Einsatzelemente in dem Aufnahmeraum angeordnet sind.By introducing different properties having insert elements, the properties of the mattress, in particular their strength or resilience, can be specified depending on the location. By a suitable choice of the size of the individual insert elements in relation to the size, in particular base of the receiving space, a high spatial resolution can be achieved in adjusting the properties of the mattress. In general, the higher the spatial resolution, the more insert elements are arranged in the receiving space.
Die Einsatzelemente bestehen generell aus Schaumstoff oder Kunststoff. Dabei sind mit Schaumstoff generell spezielle, geschäumte Kunststoffe umfasst, insbesondere thermoplastische, elastomere oder duroplastische Schäume. Alternativ können auch nicht geschäumte Kunststoffe zur Ausbildung der Einsatzelemente verwendet werden.The insert elements are generally made of foam or plastic. Foamed plastic generally comprises special, foamed plastics, in particular thermoplastic, elastomeric or thermosetting foams. Alternatively, non-foamed plastics can be used to form the insert elements.
Unterschiedliche Eigenschaften von Einsatzelementen lassen sich durch unterschiedliche Materialwahl und/oder unterschiedliche Schichtaufbauten der Einsatzelemente erzielen. Weiterhin können die Einsatzelemente auch aus einem Kern, bestehend aus einem ersten Material, und wenigstens einer Schale aus einem zweiten Material, bestehen, wobei bei unterschiedlichen Einsatzelementen Geometrien und Materialien der Kerne und Schalen variiert werden können.Different properties of insert elements can be achieved by different choice of material and / or different layer structures of the insert elements. Furthermore, the insert elements can also consist of a core, consisting of a first material, and at least one shell of a second material, with different insert elements geometries and materials of the cores and shells can be varied.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Eigenschaften in Einsatzelementen in Abhängigkeit von Messungen bei einer auf einem Probekörper aufliegenden Person vorgebbar.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the properties in insert elements can be predetermined as a function of measurements in a person resting on a test specimen.
Auf diese Weise können die Eigenschaften der erfindungsgemäßen Matratze exakt und individuell auf die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen der Person angepasst werden, die die Matratze nutzen möchte.In this way, the properties of the mattress according to the invention can be precisely and individually adapted to the needs and requirements of the person who wants to use the mattress.
Der Grundgedanke dieser Methode besteht darin, dass die jeweilige Person, die die Matratze kaufen möchte, vor dem Kauf eine auf sie individuelle Probemessung durchführt. Hierzu legt sich die Person auf einen Probekörper, der vorteilhaft aus einer Referenz-Matratze mit homogenen, das heißt ortsunabhängigen Eigenschaften besteht. Mit einer geeigneten Sensorik wird dann das Antwortverhalten des Probekörpers bedingt durch die Einflussgrößen der auf dem Probekörper aufliegenden Person gemessen. Die Sensorik kann Sensoren aller Art, insbesondere optische, kapazitive, induktive Sensoren oder auch Drucksensoren aufweisen. In Abhängigkeit des Antwortverhaltens werden dann gegebenenfalls unterschiedliche Einsatzelemente über den Aufnahmeraum verteilt angeordnet, um so ein optimal an die Probemessung angepasstes Liegeverhalten der Matratze zu erzielen.The basic idea of this method is that the person who wants to buy the mattress, before buying a custom-made test measurement. For this purpose, the person lies down on a specimen, which advantageously consists of a reference mattress with homogeneous, that is location-independent properties. With a suitable sensor, the response of the test specimen is then measured by the influencing variables of the person resting on the specimen. The sensors may have sensors of all kinds, in particular optical, capacitive, inductive sensors or also pressure sensors. Depending on the response behavior, different insert elements may then be distributed over the receiving space arranged so as to achieve an optimal adapted to the sample measurement lying behavior of the mattress.
Die geeigneten Einsatzelemente können durch eine Auswahl aus einem Pool bestehender Einsatzelemente oder durch eine individuelle Fertigung von Einsatzelementen bestimmt werden.The appropriate insert elements may be determined by a selection from a pool of existing insert elements or by an individual fabrication of insert elements.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Matratze ist als erstes Begrenzungselement ein die Einsatzelemente seitlich begrenzender Rahmen vorgesehen. Als weitere Begrenzungselemente sind eine an der Unterseite des Rahmens angeordnete Bodenplatte und eine an der Oberseite angeordnete Deckenplatte vorgesehen.In the case of the mattress according to the invention, a frame limiting the insert elements is provided as the first limiting element. As a further limiting elements arranged on the underside of the frame bottom plate and a ceiling plate arranged on the top are provided.
Die durch den Rahmen vorgegebene Höhe des Aufnahmeraums entspricht den Höhen der Einsatzelemente, so dass diese in einer ebenen Matrixanordnung den Aufnahmeraum vollständig ausfüllen. Die Begrenzungselemente bestehen vorteilhaft aus Schaumstoff.The predetermined by the frame height of the receiving space corresponds to the heights of the insert elements, so that they completely fill the receiving space in a planar matrix arrangement. The limiting elements are advantageously made of foam.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Begrenzungselemente jeweils mehrteilig ausgebildet, wobei die einzelnen Teile über Fixierelemente verbunden sind.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the limiting elements are each formed in several parts, wherein the individual parts are connected via fixing elements.
Generell bestehen die Fixierelemente aus mechanischen Verbindungselementen die eine reversibel lösbare, ohne Werkzeuge herstellbare Verbindung ausbilden. Besonders vorteilhaft sind die Fixierelemente von Klettbändern gebildet.In general, the fixing elements consist of mechanical connecting elements which form a reversibly detachable connection that can be produced without tools. Particularly advantageously, the fixing elements are formed by Velcro strips.
Durch die mehrteilige Ausbildung der Begrenzungselemente bilden die Komponenten einen Bausatz. Vorteilhaft hierbei ist insbesondere, dass durch die Unterteilung der Begrenzungselemente in einzelne, durch die Fixierelemente verbindbare Segmente diese einzelnen Segmente für sich alleine erheblich kleiner sind als der gesamte Rahmen oder die gesamte Boden- beziehungsweise Deckenplatte. Die getrennten Segmente, die die Begrenzungselemente ausbilden, können so platzsparend in einer Verpackung untergebracht werden und so an Kunden versandt werden. Der Kunde kann dann auf einfache Weise durch Verbinden der Segmente mit den Fixierelementen die Begrenzungselemente zusammenbauen.Due to the multi-part design of the limiting elements, the components form a kit. In this case, it is advantageous in particular that, due to the subdivision of the delimiting elements into individual segments which can be connected by the fixing elements, these individual segments alone are considerably smaller than the entire frame or the entire floor or ceiling panel. The separate segments that form the boundary elements can be accommodated in a space-saving package and be shipped to customers. The customer can then easily assemble the boundary elements by connecting the segments with the fixing elements.
Ein so in einer Verpackung zusammengefasster Bausatz einer Matratze kann über einen Versandhandel, insbesondere einen Internet-Versandhandel, vertrieben werden.A so summarized in a package kit of a mattress can be sold through a mail order, especially an Internet mail order.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Variante der Erfindung sind die Begrenzungselemente von Einsatzelementen gebildet.According to an advantageous variant of the invention, the limiting elements are formed by insert elements.
In diesem Fall ist die gesamte Matratze nur von Einsatzelementen gebildet, wobei diese wiederum bevorzugt eine ebene matrixförmige Anordnung bilden.In this case, the entire mattress is formed only by insert elements, which in turn preferably form a planar matrix-shaped arrangement.
Vorteilhaft weisen die die Begrenzungselemente bildenden Einsatzelemente gleiche Außenabmessungen auf wie die restlichen Einsatzelemente.Advantageously, the insert elements forming the boundary elements have the same external dimensions as the remaining insert elements.
Die Matratze ist damit vollständig von Einsatzelementen mit identischen Außenabmessungen gebildet, die beliebig austauchbar und beliebig kombinierbar sind.The mattress is thus completely formed by insert elements with identical outer dimensions, which can be exchanged arbitrarily and arbitrarily combined.
Da in diesem Fall keine Begrenzungselemente vorgesehen sind, die die Einsatzelemente zusammenhalten, ist es bei dieser Variante vorteilhaft, wenn die die Matratze bildenden Einsatzelemente miteinander durch Fixier- oder Kopplungselemente miteinander verbunden sind.Since no limiting elements are provided in this case, which hold the insert elements together, it is advantageous in this variant if the mattress forming insert elements are interconnected by fixing or coupling elements.

Die
Die Bodenplatte 2 und die Deckenplatte 3 weisen jeweils die Form einer rechteckigen, ebenen Platte auf, wobei diese flächengleich sind. Der rechteckige Rahmen läuft am Rand der Matratze 1 um.The bottom plate 2 and the ceiling plate 3 each have the shape of a rectangular, flat plate, wherein these are coextensive. The rectangular frame runs around the edge of the mattress 1.
Generell ist die Erfindung nicht auf rechteckige Matratzen beschränkt. Insbesondere Matratzen für Wohnmobile können hiervon abweichende Geometrien aufweisen.Generally, the invention is not limited to rectangular mattresses. In particular mattresses for campers may have different geometries.
In dem von den Begrenzungselementen umschlossenen Aufnahmeraum sind Einsatzelemente 5 angeordnet, die im vorliegenden Fall identische Außenabmessungen aufweisen. Die Einsatzelemente 5 bestehen aus Kunststoff und/oder einem Schaumstoff. Wie aus den
Weiterhin weisen die Einsatzelemente 5 ebene Seitenflächen 8 auf. Die Anordnung der Einsatzelemente 5 im Aufnahmeraum ist so ausgebildet, dass benachbarte Einsatzelemente 5 mit ihren zugeordneten Seitenflächen 8 aneinander anliegen, das heißt in Kontakt miteinander sind. Die Seitenflächen 8 bilden somit Kontaktflächen zwischen benachbarten Einsatzelementen 5, so dass eine Wechselwirkung zwischen ihnen derart besteht, dass bestimmte Eigenschaften von einem Einsatzelement 5 zum benachbarten Einsatzelement 5 weitergegeben werden können.Furthermore, the insert elements 5 have planar side surfaces 8. The arrangement of the insert elements 5 in the receiving space is designed so that adjacent insert elements 5 abut each other with their associated side surfaces 8, that are in contact with each other. The side surfaces 8 thus form contact surfaces between adjacent insert elements 5, so that an interaction between them exists such that certain properties can be passed from one insert element 5 to the adjacent insert element 5.
Hierzu ist es im einfachsten Fall ausreichend, dass die Seitenflächen 8 benachbarter Einsatzelemente 5 dicht aneinander anliegen. Alternativ können an den Seitenflächen 8 auch Fixierelemente oder Kopplungselemente vorgesehen sein.For this purpose, it is sufficient in the simplest case that the side surfaces 8 of adjacent insert elements 5 bear tightly against one another. Alternatively, fixing elements or coupling elements can also be provided on the side surfaces 8.
Die quadratische Querschnittsfläche des Polyeders ist im Bereich der Seitenflächen 8 konstant. An die oberen Ränder der Seitenflächen 8 schließen erste ebene Schrägflächen 9 an, die schräg auf die Oberseite 7 zulaufen, so dass sich die Querschnittsfläche in diesem Bereich bis zur Oberseite 7 hin kontinuierlich verkleinert. Symmetrisch hierzu schließen an die unteren Ränder der Seitenflächen 8 weitere Schrägflächen 9 an, die auf die Unterseite 6 des Polyeders zulaufen.The square cross-sectional area of the polyhedron is constant in the region of the side surfaces 8. At the upper edges of the side surfaces 8 close first flat inclined surfaces 9, which run obliquely to the top 7, so that the cross-sectional area in this area continuously decreases to the top 7 back. Symmetrically close to the lower edges of the side surfaces 8 more inclined surfaces 9, which run towards the bottom 6 of the polyhedron.
Der Polyeder gemäß
Die Ausführungsform von
Bei beiden Ausführungsformen können die Seitenflächen 8 und die Schrägflächen 9, 10 gleiche oder unterschiedliche Materialeigenschaften aufweisen.In both embodiments, the side surfaces 8 and the inclined surfaces 9, 10 may have the same or different material properties.
Die Einsatzelemente 5 der Matratze 1 weisen zwar identische Abmessungen auf, können jedoch hinsichtlich ihrer Eigenschaften, insbesondere hinsichtlich ihrer Elastizität, Festigkeit beziehungsweise Nachgiebigkeit unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein, was beispielsweise durch unterschiedliche Materialbeschaffenheiten der Einsatzelemente 5 erreicht wird.Although the insert elements 5 of the mattress 1 have identical dimensions, they can however be designed differently with regard to their properties, in particular with regard to their elasticity, strength or compliance, which is achieved, for example, by different material properties of the insert elements 5.
Damit können die Eigenschaften der Matratze 1 ortsabhängig variiert werden, um so einen optimalen Liegekomfort zu gewährleisten. Besonders vorteilhaft werden die Eigenschaften der einzelnen Einsatzelemente 5 in einem Einmessvorgang bestimmt. Hierzu liegt die Person, die die Matratze 1 später nutzen möchte, auf einem Probekörper, wie einer Referenzmatratze mit homogenen ortsunabhängigen Eigenschaften. Mit einer geeigneten Sensorik wird dann das Antwortverhalten des Probekörpers bei der Last der aufliegenden Person gemessen. Abhängig von diesen Messwerten werden dann ortsabhängig über die Fläche der Matratze 1 geeignete Einsatzelemente 5 positioniert.Thus, the properties of the mattress 1 can be varied depending on location, so as to ensure optimum comfort. Particularly advantageously, the properties of the individual insert elements 5 are determined in a calibration process. For this purpose, the person who would like to use the mattress 1 later, on a specimen, such as a reference mattress with homogeneous location-independent properties. With a suitable sensor, the response of the specimen is then measured at the load of the person lying on. Depending on these measured values, suitable insert elements 5 are then positioned depending on the location over the surface of the mattress 1.
