Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of furniture, and particularly to a balancing pad in use with elastic modules, and an elastic pad and a furniture comprising the same.
  • Furniture such as beds is an indispensable object in people's life. Most of the conventional large-sized furniture is not easily disassembled or not easily restored after disassembly. However, with the development of modern life, it is required furniture especially such as beds are able to be disassembled and assembled more and more frequently to meet the needs of population migration and field leisure. During transportation, it is very difficult to disassemble and assemble the beds, resulting in that the beds which are still in use are sometimes discarded to reduce the transportation burden.
  • a bed normally consists of a bed frame, an elastic pad, and an outer cover.
  • a conventional elastic pad is usually one-piece, non-detachable and integral pad formed from a plurality of superimposed layers and springs.
  • the integral pad is large in size and is not easy to be disassembled and stored.
  • a conventional separately-pocketed spring mattress is intended to avoid two or more people lying in bed at the same time from affecting each other (e.g., if a weight difference between individuals is relatively large, one of them will inevitably affect the other when turning over or moving the body).
  • each spring is individually packaged in a pocket or sleeve made of a nonwoven fabric or other material.
  • the spring pockets are arranged in a pattern and then the outside of the arranged set of spring pockets is covered by a whole piece of foam rubber by adhesion, gluing or the like to form a furniture pad or a desired elastic pad in the form of the furniture pad.
  • the separately-pocketed spring mattress is still an integral product that cannot be disassembled and is not easily transported.
  • non-woven fabrics used for wrapping the pocketed springs are adhered to each other, and when the mattress is pressed, the plurality of pocketed springs cannot move up and down separately, thereby affecting the comfort of the mattress.
  • the conventional mattresses also have a disadvantage that they are not easy to clean.
  • the outer cover is often removable, and the sponge portion cannot be removed and not easily cleaned.
  • the sponge portion that is not easily cleaned might cause a large hygienic hazard.
  • one of the object of the present disclosure is to enable an elastic pad to have better comfort.

  • the flexible sheet may be of multiple types.
  • the flexible sheet may be a plastic cloth with a predetermined thickness.
  • the flexible sheet may be a fabric, for example, canvas or non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric can introduce good moisture-proof and breathable properties to the balancing pad, and can also make the balancing pad more flexible and thinner. This can further make the elastic pad more comfortable.

  • the elastic module 7 may be of multiple types.
  • the elastic module 7 may be a shape of a cylinder, truncated cone, or column.
  • the elastic module 7 is in a truncated conical shape and is fit within the receiving hole 5 in a form of a truncated conical hole.
  • the truncated cone-shaped elastic module 7 has the same cone slope as the receiving hole 5 in the form of a truncated cone, to thus form a form-fit match between conical surfaces of the the elastic module 7 and the receiving hole 5. Accordingly, the portion of the elastic module 7 can be mated with the receiving hole 5 more stably and more reliably, and the balancing pad 10 can provide more stable and more reliable restriction for the elastic module 7.
  • the elastic module 7 may be of multiple types.
  • the elastic module 7 may be a cylindrical elastic block such as a rubber block.
  • the elastic module 7 may include a spring support 14 and a conical spring 15 disposed within the spring support 14.
