Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mattress assembly comprising a base with head and foot end and a wedge-shaped insert suitable for babies with reflux, as well as its use in a baby or child's bed and the production method.
  • a frequently given piece of advice is to raise the head end of the baby's bed to prevent stomach contents from flowing back.
  • This raising is done, for example, by placing blocks under the legs at the head end.
  • a disadvantage here is that the bed can become unstable as a result. The blocks can slide out from under the legs due to the movement of the baby while sleeping. This is an unsafe situation.
  • An additional problem is that because the bed as a whole is placed at an angle, it will also take up more space than a normally placed bed. This space is not always available.
  • FR '641 describes a transformable mattress.
  • the mattress consists of two prismatic blocks. One block has a triangular cross-section and the other block a trapezoidal cross-section. The two blocks are connected to each other at a transverse edge. By moving the block with the triangular cross-section, a mattress can be converted from a regular mattress to a wedge-shaped mattress.
  • This solution has the drawback that the mattress is not converted into a wedge-shaped mattress over its entire length, so that it can only be used to a limited length.
  • the wedge-shaped mattress has an unusual shape for the use of a fitted sheet. After all, the connection between the two blocks is on the surface, which is not comfortable.
  • US 5 430 901 Another known mattress is known from US 5 430 901 .
  • the drawback of this solution is that with the mattress from US '901 it is not possible to tilt the mattress completely or make it wedge-shaped, so that a comfortable position is not possible in which the head takes a higher position with respect to the feet.
  • EP 3 111 807 Another known solution is described in EP 3 111 807 .
  • the mattress comprises on a first side a wedge-shaped part which can be moved to an opposite side, thereby forming a wedge-shaped mattress.
  • the disadvantage of this mattress is that in the wedge-shaped condition a large gap is created between the mattress and the bed at the head end, which is potentially dangerous for use with infants and is unacceptable.
  • US 4 905 330 describes a composite piece of furniture and training device.
  • the piece of furniture comprises five cushion parts that are pivotably connected to each other. Two of the cushion parts are wedge-shaped.
  • the disadvantage of this composite piece of furniture and training device is that a mattress cannot be formed that is wedge-shaped over its entire length, thus not allowing a comfortable position in which the head assumes a higher position with respect to the feet.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device which overcomes these drawbacks.
  • the present invention relates to a device according to claim 1.
  • the advantage of the invention is especially that the mattress assembly can be used for both babies with and babies without reflux.
  • the mattress assembly comprises a base with head and foot end and a wedge-shaped insert.
  • the mattress assembly When the insert is positioned at the level of the foot end, the mattress assembly is not sloped, and the mattress assembly is suitable for a baby without reflux.
  • the mattress assembly When the insert is positioned at the level of the head end, the mattress assembly is sloped, with the head end being raised relative to the foot end. The mattress assembly is now suitable for babies with reflux.
  • a specific preferred embodiment concerns a device according to claim 4.
  • the insert is received in an incision at the level of the foot end.
  • the advantage is that by incorporating the wedge-shaped insert into the incision at the level of the foot end, possible movements of the insert relative to the base are limited.
  • a specific preferred embodiment concerns a device according to claim 5.
  • the insert is incorporated in an incision at the level of the head end. This has the advantage that the slope is completely formed by the base of the mattress assembly. This is more comfortable for the baby than an insert positioned on top of the base at the level of the head end. In that case there is always at least a minimal height difference in the mattress assembly at the transition from the insert to the base.
  • An additional advantage is that by accommodating the wedge-shaped insert in the incision at the level of the head end, possible movements of the insert with respect to the base are limited.
  • the invention relates to the use of a mattress assembly according to the first aspect in a baby or child's bed.
  • the present invention relates to a method according to claim 15.
  • This method has the advantage, among others, that the wedge-shaped insert is formed from the base in a quick and economical manner.
  • 'a' and 'the' refer to both the singular and the plural, unless the context presupposes otherwise.
  • 'a segment' means one or more segments.
  • Quoting numerical intervals by endpoints comprises all integers, fractions and/or real numbers between the endpoints, these endpoints included.
  • the invention relates to a mattress assembly.
  • the mattress assembly comprises a base with head and foot end and a wedge-shaped insert, the wedge-shaped insert being formed from the base of the base and having a length shorter than the length of the base.
  • the advantage of the present invention is that the assembly can be used modularly.
  • the mattress assembly is both suitable for babies and children without as well as for babies and children with reflux.
  • the mattress assembly is not sloped in one case, making the mattress assembly suitable for babies and children without reflux, and in the other case, the mattress assembly is sloped, making it suitable for babies and children with reflux. Due to the modular nature of the mattress assembly, it can be adapted to the situation.
  • a recommended measure for reflux is to raise the head end. This can be achieved, for example, by positioning a wedge-shaped insert at the level of the head end under the base of the mattress assembly. If the wedge-shaped insert extends under the full length of the base, the base will rotate about an axis on the lower outer edge of the mattress assembly at the base of the mattress assembly. This means that the top outer edge of the mattress assembly at the head end of the mattress assembly will move away from the edge of the bed. According to the EN 16890-2017 standard, the distance between the outer edge of the mattress assembly and the bed may not exceed 30 mm for safety reasons.
  • the insert will be at least 10% shorter than the length of the base, more particularly at least 20%, even more particularly at least 30%, even more particularly at least 40%, and most in particular at least 50%.
  • the incision determines the correct positioning of the wedge-shaped insert at the foot end and is suitable for limiting the freedom of movement of the wedge-shaped insert so that it does not shift from a desired position at the foot end by the movements of the baby or child.
  • the incision preferably comprises one or more incisions which cut from the base a volume corresponding to the wedge-shaped insert.
  • one incision is parallel to the top surface of the mattress assembly.
  • the base is provided with lateral incisions at the level of the head and foot ends and extending in the longitudinal direction of the base, suitable for receiving the insert.
  • the incisions determine the correct positioning of the wedge-shaped insert at the foot end and at the head end and are suitable for limiting the freedom of movement of the wedge-shaped insert so that it does not shift from a desired position at the foot end or the head end by the movements of the baby or child.
  • the incision at the foot end preferably comprises one or more incisions that cut from the base a volume corresponding to the wedge-shaped insert.
  • one incision at the foot end is parallel to the top surface of the mattress assembly.
  • the incision at the head end is preferably a single incision parallel to the top surface of the mattress assembly.
  • the mattress assembly is not sloped when the insert is positioned at the level of the foot end of the base.
  • the mattress assembly is suitable for a baby or child without reflux.
  • the incision at the base end comprises one or more incisions that cut from the base a volume corresponding to the wedge-shaped insert.
  • the wedge-shaped insert fits into the volume cut out of the base.
  • the base and the wedge-shaped insert form a beam shape, so that the mattress assembly is not sloped.
  • the mattress assembly is sloped when the insert is positioned at the level of the head end of the base.
  • the wedge-shaped insert is positioned under or on the base at the level of the head end or received in the lateral incision at the level of the head end.
  • the head end is raised relative to the foot end and the mattress assembly is sloped.
  • the insert is received in the incision at the level of the foot end.
  • the insert is received in the incision at the level of the head end.
  • the base has an angle of inclination alpha (a) of between 2° and 30°, more preferably between 2° and 25°, more preferably between 5° and 20°.
  • the mattress assembly is sloped.
  • the angle of this slope is measured between the line of the top surface of the mattress assembly when the wedge-shaped insert is positioned at the head end and the line of the top surface of the mattress assembly when the wedge-shaped insert is positioned at the foot end.
  • This is the angle alpha ( ⁇ ) through which the top surface of the mattress assembly rotates.
  • This corresponds to the smallest angle of the wedge-shaped body.
  • An angle between 2° and 30° is recommended for a baby or child with reflux. A smaller angle has no effect on preventing the stomach contents from flowing back into the oesophagus. A larger angle is not comfortable for sleeping and will cause the baby or child to slide to the foot end while sleeping.
  • the profile of the insert is a right-angled triangle.
  • the distance between the outer edge of the mattress assembly and the bed may not exceed 30 mm for safety reasons.
  • a wedge-shaped insert By positioning a wedge-shaped insert at the level of the head end to raise the head end, the top outer edge of the mattress assembly is further removed from the bed.
  • the use of an insert with a right-angled triangle as a profile limits the removal of the bed edge compared to other profiles. In this way, the mattress assembly remains connected to the bed as closely as possible.
  • the insert extends in the longitudinal direction of the base from the head or foot end to the centre of the base.
  • the distance between the outer edge of the mattress assembly and the bed may not exceed 30 mm for safety reasons.
  • the mattress assembly will be raised very locally at the level of the head end.
  • the baby or child sleeps with a bent neck, which is an uncomfortable position and is not an optimal solution for reflux.
  • the wedge-shaped insert is formed from the foot end of the base.
  • a wedge-shaped insert extending from the head end or foot end to the centre of the base, an embodiment is possible in which, by positioning the wedge-shaped insert at the head end, the mattress assembly is raised at the head end the same height as the mattress assembly is lowered at the foot end.
  • the mattress assembly has a slope with an angle alpha ( ⁇ ) over the full length of the mattress assembly. This is more comfortable for the baby or child and is also more beneficial in preventing stomach contents from flowing back into the oesophagus.
  • the lateral incision at the head end is in a zone from the centre line of the base to 1 cm from the top surface of the base.
  • a lateral incision at the level of the head end in a zone from the centre line of the base to 1 cm from the top surface of the base provides enough material on both sides of the incision to prevent the base from tearing at the level of the incision.
  • Sufficient material remains so that when the wedge-shaped insert is received in the incision at the head end, the transition between the wedge-shaped insert and the base is flattened by the overlying material of the base, keeping the mattress assembly comfortable for the baby or child.
  • the removal at the level of the head end of the top outer edge of the mattress assembly of the bed is still limited, so that standard EN 16890-2017 is complied with. This removal is smaller the closer the lateral incision is to the top surface of the base.
  • the length of the insert is shorter than the length of a lateral incision.
  • the insert is preferably at least 0.5 cm shorter than the length of a lateral incision, more preferably at least 2.5 cm and even more preferably at least 5 cm.
  • the insert is shorter than the length of a lateral incision, it is easier to receive the insert in a lateral incision.
  • the base and insert are made of foamed material.
  • the base and insert are formed from a suitable foam material for supporting the body of a baby or child.
  • suitable foam material for supporting the body of a baby or child.
  • Non-limiting examples of such materials are polyurethane foam (PU), KAPUA ® foam, HR28S, HR38H, HR43H, HR45S, HR55M, HR55H and HR60S.
  • the base and insert can be formed from the same or a different material.
  • the lateral head end incision and the lateral foot end incision are spaced at least 0.5 cm in height from each other.
  • the lateral incisions can be arranged over more than half the length of the base, it is necessary to separate the lateral incisions at the foot and head ends from each other in height. If not, the base is cut through completely.
  • the incisions are preferably at least 0.5 cm apart to avoid tearing of the base where the lateral incisions at the foot and head ends overlap.
  • the mattress assembly comprises a mattress-cover suitable for enclosing the base and/or the insert.
  • a mattress-cover is suitable to protect the material of the base and the insert.
  • suitable materials for a mattress-cover are TENCEL/PES in a 65%/35% composition and 100% quilted PES.
  • the mattress assembly comprises a separate mattress-cover for the base and for the insert.
  • the mattress assembly comprises a common mattress-cover for the base and the insert.
  • the mattress-cover comprises a first part and a second part, the first part comprising a side of a zip, comprising a retainer box, a slider and a top stop, and the second part comprising a corresponding side of the zip, the zip being configured to zip the first part and the second part together, and wherein the zipped together first and second parts are configured to enclose the mattress assembly, the wedge-shaped insert being positioned at the level of the foot end of the base.
  • the mattress-cover comprises a third part, the third part comprising a side of a zip, corresponding to the side of the zip of the first part, the zip being configured to zip the first part and the third part together and wherein the zipped together first and third parts are configured to enclose the mattress assembly, the wedge-shaped insert being positioned at the level of the head end of the base.
  • the retainer box of the zip fastener is located on the outside of the mattress-cover and the top stop on the inside of the mattress-cover. As a result, when closed, the slider of the zip is positioned between the retainer box and the top stop, so that a baby or child cannot accidentally open the zip of the mattress-cover.
  • the invention relates to the use of an assembly according to the first aspect in a baby or child's bed.
  • the structure of the mattress assembly makes it very suitable for use in a baby or child's bed.
  • the mattress assembly is comfortable both in positioning the wedge-shaped insert at the head end and at the foot end. In both cases, the mattress assembly complies with the safety standard EN 16890-2017.
