Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Liegeunterlage, insbesondere ein Kissen oder eine Matte, vorzugsweise ein Kopfkissen, zur Aufnahme eines Körpers auf einer ersten (Ober-)Seite einer Hülle, insbesondere einer Kissenhülle, die freibewegliche Mikroperlen und einen visco-elastischen Schaumstoff enthält.The invention relates to a mattress, in particular a pillow or a mat, preferably a pillow, for receiving a body on a first (top) side of a shell, in particular a cushion cover containing freely movable microbeads and a visco-elastic foam.

Im Stand der Technik sind eine Vielzahl von Kissen und Liegematten beschrieben. Es ist jedoch wünschenswert, dass eine Liegematte, vorzugsweise ein Kopfkissen, sich an einen Körper anatomisch anpasst als auch, dass bei Deformation oder Ausüben von Druck auf das Kissen eine Wiederherstellung der Ausgangslage im Sinne eines Memory-Effekts erfolgt. Insbesondere der menschliche Kopf- und Nackenbereich ist anatomisch nicht vorteilhaft zum Liegen geeignet, so dass insbesondere ein Kissen die Kopf- und Nackenlage dauerhaft stabilisieren muss. Falsches Liegen und Schlafen kann zu irreparablen anatomischen Schäden führen, weiterhin zu Kopfschmerzen, Durchblutungsstörungen, Migräneattacken und Schlaflosigkeit. Nach wie vor besteht ein hohes Bedürfnis den (Schlaf-)Komfort im Liegen zu erhöhen als auch an orthopädischen Liegeunterlagen als solche zur vorteilhaften medizinischen Anwendung.In the prior art, a variety of cushions and mats are described. However, it is desirable for a hammock, preferably a pillow, to anatomically conform to a body as well as to restore the initial position in the sense of a memory effect upon deformation or exertion of pressure on the cushion. In particular, the human head and neck area is anatomically not suitable for lying, so that in particular a pillow must permanently stabilize the head and neck position. Lying and sleeping incorrectly can lead to irreparable anatomical damage, headaches, circulatory disorders, migraine attacks and insomnia. As before, there is a great need to increase the (sleeping) comfort while lying down as well as on orthopedic mattress supports as such for advantageous medical use.

Die Amelderin - Theraline eK - hat nun gefunden, dass die Verwendung von Mikroperlen in Liegeunterlagen zu qualitativ verbesserten Liegeunterlagen führen. Besonders vorteilhaft sind die Fließeigenschaften von Mikroperlen bei Druck oder Deformation anzusehen. Auf der Basis von Mikroperlen sind Liegeunterlagen, insbesondere Kissen, im Stand der Technik beschrieben:
DE 20 2012 100 854 U1 ( US 2013/0232691 A1 ) der Anmelderin offenbaren anatomisch geformte Ganzkörperkissen, welche Mikroperlen samt einer umgebenden Vliesslage aufweisen.The Amelderin - Theraline eK - has now found that the use of microbeads in mattress bases lead to qualitatively improved mattresses. Particularly advantageous are the flow properties of microbeads to be considered when printing or deformation. On the basis of microbeads, couch pads, especially pillows, are described in the prior art:
DE 20 2012 100 854 U1 ( US 2013/0232691 A1 ) of the Applicant disclose anatomically shaped whole-body cushions which have microbeads together with a surrounding nonwoven layer.

WO 89/04625 A1 offenbart ein Kissen mit einer Außenhülle und einer Innenhülle umfassend einen Innenkörper aus Polystyrol-Mikropartikeln und Federn. WO 89/04625 A1 discloses a pad having an outer sheath and inner sheath comprising an inner body of polystyrene microparticles and springs.

US 2006/010603 A1 betrifft ein Kissen, welches Pellets aus Neopren oder Schaumstoff enthalten kann. US 2006/010603 A1 relates to a pillow which may contain neoprene or foam pellets.

US 2010/263128 A1 offenbart ein Kissen, wobei Mikrokapseln in einen Latexschaum aufgenommen werden. US 2010/263128 A1 discloses a pillow wherein microcapsules are incorporated in a latex foam.

WO 2015/033282 A1 betrifft eine Matratze oder Kissen, welche aus zwei Lagen besteht, wobei eine Lage eine Titandioxid (Rutil) Dispersion aufweist, die jedoch von Mikroperlen verschieden sind. EP2918196A1 beschreibt eine weitere Liegeunterlage. WO 2015/033282 A1 relates to a mattress or pad consisting of two layers, one layer having a titanium dioxide (rutile) dispersion, but different from microbeads. EP2918196A1 describes another mattress base.

Im Stand der Technik werden jedoch die Fließeigenschaften von Mikroperlen in Liegeunterlagen nicht hinreichend für das Wohlbefinden als auch für die Gesundheit des Liegekörpers ausgenutzt.In the prior art, however, the flow properties of microbeads in lying pads are not sufficiently utilized for the well-being as well as for the health of the lying body.

Daher betrifft die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine verbesserte anatomisch angepasste Liegeunterlage zur Aufnahme eines Körpers, wobei der Körperdruck über die gesamte Körperfläche auf die Liegeunterlage übertragen wird.Therefore, the object of the present invention relates to an improved anatomically adapted mattress support for receiving a body, wherein the body pressure is transmitted over the entire body surface on the mattress base.

Die Aufgabe wird vollumfänglich durch den Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.The object is fully achieved by the patent claim 1.

Überraschender Weise kann der Komfort und kurative Effekt von Liegeunterlagen stark erhöht werden, indem die Mikroperlen mit einem visco-elastischen Schaumstoff verbunden werden.Surprisingly, the comfort and curative effect of reclining pads can be greatly increased by connecting the microbeads with a visco-elastic foam.

Die Verwendung von visco-elastischen Schaumstoffen in Liegeunterlagen ist zwar bekannt, jedoch nicht in Kombination mit Mikroperlen und insbesondere nicht in einer systemischen Einheit bestehend aus einer umfassenden (Kissen-)Hülle.While the use of visco-elastic foam in mattress bases is known, it is not known in combination with microbeads and, more particularly, not in a systemic unit consisting of a comprehensive (pillow) shell.

Besonders vorteilhaft kann der bekannte Memory-Effekt von visco-elastischem Schaumstoff verstärkt werden, da die Mikroperlen eine punktuelle Aufnahme des Körperdrucks erlauben und zusätzlich den Memory-Effekt unterstützen, da die Mikroperlen bei Druckentlastung leicht und dissipativ in die Ausgangslage zurückfließen. Liegt beispielsweise die Liegeunterlage mit einer ebenen Oberseite vor, so erlaubt der verstärkte Memory-Effekt das Relaxieren der Oberfläche nach Druckentlastung und Wiederherstellung der ebenen Oberfläche. Der Gegendruck des visco-elastischen Schaumstoffes erlaubt zudem eine vorteilhafte Aufnahme des Körpers in die Oberseite, wobei die fließenden und freibeweglichen Mikroperlen die Aufnahme des Körpers unterstützen, insbesondere bei Körperunebenheiten und Körpermulden.Particularly advantageous, the known memory effect of visco-elastic foam can be reinforced, since the microbeads allow a selective uptake of body pressure and additionally support the memory effect, since the microbeads easily and dissipatively flow back into the starting position when pressure relief. For example, if the recliner pad has a flat top, the enhanced memory effect allows the surface to relax after pressure relief and restoration of the flat surface. The counter-pressure of the visco-elastic foam also allows an advantageous absorption of the body in the top, wherein the flowing and free-floating microbeads support the absorption of the body, especially in body bumps and body cavities.

Daher betrifft die Erfindung ebenfalls eine orthopädische Liegeunterlage, insbesondere ein orthopädisches Kissen oder eine orthopädische Matte, da der Verbund aus Mikroperlen und visco-elastischem Schaumstoff zu einer Körperaufnahme unter vorteilhafter Stabilisierung und Entlastung führt. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft im Kopf-Nackenbereich als auch im Bereich der Wirbelsäule. Dieser kurative Effekt führt ebenfalls zur nachhaltigen Muskelrelaxation und vorteilhafter Körperlage mit verbesserter Durchblutung.Therefore, the invention also relates to an orthopedic pad, in particular an orthopedic pad or an orthopedic mat, since the composite of microbeads and visco-elastic foam leads to a body uptake with advantageous stabilization and relief. This is particularly advantageous in the head and neck area as well as in the area of the spine. This curative effect also leads to sustained muscle relaxation and favorable body position with improved blood circulation.

Eine Seite ist als Doppellage ausgeführt, bestehend aus einer ersten Lage (11a) und einer zweiten Lage (11b), so dass die Mikroperlen aufgenommen werden können. Die (Ober- oder Unter-)Seite ist weiterhin Gegenstand einer Hülle (13). Die Doppellage kann näherungsweise als Kammer beschrieben werden, wobei die Kammer ein Volumen aufweist, welches mit Mikroperlen befüllt oder gepackt wird. Bevorzugt wird das freie Volumen dicht bepackt. Die Doppellage, bzw. die erste Lage und die zweite Lage, bestehen aus Baumwolle, Jersey, Frottee, besonders bevorzugt aus einem Baumwoll-Elastan-Gemisch, insbesondere im Verhältnis von 87:13. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass die Hülle aus Baumwolle, Jersey, Frottee, besonders bevorzugt aus einem Baumwoll-Elastan-Gemisch, insbesondere im Verhältnis von 87:13 besteht.
Dies erlaubt eine vorteilhafte Unterstützung der Fließeigenschaften der Mikroperlen unter Verminderung von Reibungsverlusten.One side is designed as a double layer, consisting of a first layer (11a) and a second layer (11b), so that the microbeads can be picked up. The (top or bottom) side is still the subject of a shell (13). The double layer can be described approximately as a chamber, wherein the chamber has a volume which is filled or packed with microbeads. Preferably, the free volume is tightly packed. The double layer, or the first layer and the second layer, consist of cotton, jersey, terry, particularly preferably of a cotton-elastane mixture, in particular in the ratio of 87:13. It is further preferred that the sheath of cotton, jersey, terrycloth, particularly preferably consists of a cotton-elastane mixture, in particular in the ratio of 87:13.
This allows advantageous support of the flow properties of the microbeads while reducing friction losses.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform bestehen die Mikroperlen aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Polystyrol. Die Mikroperlen sind rund bis rhombisch, vorzugsweise kugelförmig, und vorzugsweise in einer Größe von 0,2 bis 0,5 mm und einem Raumgewicht von ca. 35 g/L. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass die Mikroperlen rieselfähig sind und leicht fließen, so dass das Fließen geräuschfrei ist.In a further preferred embodiment, the microbeads are made of a plastic, preferably polystyrene. The microbeads are round to rhombic, preferably spherical, and preferably in a size of 0.2 to 0.5 mm and a density of about 35 g / L. Furthermore, it is preferred that the microbeads are free-flowing and flow easily, so that the flow is noise-free.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Mikroperlen frei von Kunststoffmonomeren und vollständig polymerisiert. Im Fall von Polystyrol werden enthaltende (Rest)Monomere (Phenylethen oder Monostyrol) aus dem Feststoff abgesaugt. Besonders bevorzugt sind daher Mikroperlen aus Polystyrol (PS, Polystyren), die zum gesundheitlichen Schutz des Liegenden von (nicht abreagierten) Monomeren (Phenylethen oder Monostyrol) befreit sind.In a further preferred embodiment, the microbeads are free of plastic monomers and completely polymerized. In the case of polystyrene containing (residual) monomers (phenylethene or monostyrene) are sucked from the solid. Particular preference is therefore given to microbeads of polystyrene (PS, polystyrene), which are used for health protection of the lying of (unreacted) monomers (phenylethene or monostyrene) are exempt.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der visco-elastische Schaumstoff vorzugsweise aus Polyurethan (PU(R))-Schaumstoff oder sogenanntem Memory foam - Schaumstoff (sogenannter Gedächtnis-Schaumstoff), welcher kommerziell erhältlich ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Stauchhärte von 1,3 bis 1,8 Kpa bis maximal 2,5 Kpa.In a further preferred embodiment, the viscoelastic foam preferably consists of polyurethane (PU (R)) foam or so-called memory foam foam (so-called memory foam), which is commercially available. Particularly preferred is a compression hardness of 1.3 to 1.8 Kpa to a maximum of 2.5 Kpa.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass der visco-elastische Schaumstoff eine Dicke von 2 bis 4 cm aufweist und die Doppellage (11a, 11b) ebenfalls eine Dicke von 2 bis 4 cm aufweist. Je kleiner die Schaumstoffdicke desto größer sollte die Stauchhärte gewählt sein.Furthermore, it is preferred that the visco-elastic foam has a thickness of 2 to 4 cm and the double layer (11a, 11b) also has a thickness of 2 to 4 cm. The smaller the foam thickness, the greater the compressive hardness should be.

Der visco-elastische Schaumstoff kann vorzugsweise in Form einer Platte (10) vorliegen, wie z.B. für ein Kissen (z.B. Länge 40 cm x Breite 30 cm x Höhe 3 cm), siehe Figuren. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass der visco-elastische Schaumstoff in die Oberfläche der Hülle mündet und von der Hülle umfasst wird.The visco-elastic foam may preferably be in the form of a plate (10), e.g. for a pillow (e.g., length 40 cm x width 30 cm x height 3 cm), see figures. Furthermore, it is preferred that the visco-elastic foam opens into the surface of the shell and is covered by the shell.

Der visco-elastische Schaumstoff ist oberhalb der Doppellage angeordnet und von einer Hülle (13) umfasst, wobei die Doppellage (11a, 11b) bzw. Kammer enthaltend Mikroperlen mit dem visco-elastischen Schaumstoff (10) flächig verbunden ist und eine erste Lage (11a) auf der Schaumstofffläche aufliegt. Folglich wird eine systemische Einheit erreicht und der visco-elastische Schaumstoff (10) ist von einer ersten Lage (11a) und Hülle (13) ummantelt.The viscoelastic foam is arranged above the double layer and comprises a sheath (13), the double layer (11a, 11b) or chamber containing microbeads being connected in a planar manner to the viscoelastic foam (10) and a first layer (11a ) rests on the foam surface. Consequently, a systemic unit is achieved and the visco-elastic foam (10) is encased by a first layer (11a) and sheath (13).

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann eine Seite, insbesondere Unterseite gebildet aus einer Lage (11b), mindestens einen, vorzugweise drei oder mehr Abnäher (14) aufweisen, die teilweise diese Seite durchziehen, so dass diese Seite eine Erhebung oder Rolle aufweist, beispielsweise eine "Nackenrolle", wie in den Figuren 2 bis 4 gezeigt. Die Abnäher dienen zur Straffung der Seite, so dass das gebildete Volumen aus der Doppellage (11a, 11b) in den Bereichen der Abnäher verkleinert bzw. gestaucht wird und folglich die Mikroperlen die Abnäherfreien-Bereiche vermehrt füllen.In a further preferred embodiment, a side, in particular underside formed from a layer (11b), at least one, preferably three or more dart (14), which partially pass through this page, so that this side has a survey or role, for example one "Neck roll", as in the FIGS. 2 to 4 shown. The darts serve to tighten the side, so that the volume formed from the double layer (11a, 11b) in the areas of the dart is reduced or compressed and consequently the microbeads increasingly fill the dart-free areas.

Daher betrifft eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform eine Liegeunterlage, insbesondere Kissen oder Matte, vorzugsweise Kopfkissen, wobei eine Oberseite der Hülle (13) zur Aufnahme eines Körpers zur Unterseite (11b) eine Neigung im spitzen Winkel von 15 bis 40 Grad, insbesondere 20 bis 30 Grad aufweist.Therefore, a further preferred embodiment relates to a mattress, in particular pillow or mat, preferably pillow, wherein an upper side of the sheath (13) for Receiving a body to the bottom (11b) has an inclination at an acute angle of 15 to 40 degrees, in particular 20 to 30 degrees.

Die Figuren dienen zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung.The figures serve to further explain the invention.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung als Kopfkissen im Querschnitt.The FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention as a pillow in cross section.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung als Kopfkissen, wobei eine Nackenrolle ausgebildet ist. Die vorteilhafte Anpassung an Körpermulden ist deutlich zu erkennen.The FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment of the invention as a pillow, wherein a neck roll is formed. The advantageous adaptation to body cavities can be clearly seen.

Figur 4 zeigt Abnäher auf einer Unterseite des Kopfkissens. FIG. 4 shows dart on a bottom of the pillow.
