Description

Anatomical core mattress.

Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the statement of The present specification refers to a core mattress anatomical, providing advantages and innovative features, which will describe in detail below, which they provide to the market a novel alternative compared to what is already known in this countryside.

In particular, the object of the invention is focuses on a mattress, specifically a mattress of the constituted by at least one layer of foamed material called viscoelastic, and at least one other layer of foamed material conventional or non-viscoelastic, whose uniqueness lies in the special configuration of its inner core, in which the union between both layers of foamed materials has such a design that adapts to the body shape, providing the user with a distinct and specifically anatomically appropriate support for each part of your body

By such design, the mattress of the invention take advantage of the advantages of viscoelastic material counteracting its possible disadvantages, essentially relative to its economic cost and its lack of firmness, since the layer of said material is less thick in areas intended for support of the parts of the body that need it most, while the body parts that should preferably have a support less firm, they are thicker.

Background of the invention

As is known, viscoelastic material is a type of synthetic material that was born as a direct result of space program in the sixties, although it was at the beginning of the 90 when researchers managed to incorporate it into use domestic. This material, also called viscoelastic, viscolastic, viscoelastic, etc., is used today especially in hospitals, since it has a curative effect due to the fact relieve pressure in especially sensitive or inflamed areas. This is because the adaptability of the viscoelastic material eliminates surface pressure on the body, allowing thereby maintaining the same posture for much longer, which has a favorable impact on rest when said material It is incorporated into the mattress.

Studies on rest have demonstrated that the optimal mattress to rest should not be Too hard or too soft. Viscoelastic material It thus provides the optimal solution, provided it is combined with others Foamed support, as it is formed by open cells that allow air to circulate freely guaranteeing hygiene maximum and due to its high technology and development, it adapts to the body totally, where other mattresses force the body to adapt to the mattress

However, in most mattresses of this type, that is, those that incorporate at least one layer of viscoelastic material, and which are formed, as a rule, by two layers, a top one, of viscoelastic material, on the which rests the body and a lower one formed by some other type of foaming, responsible for giving the necessary firmness to the whole, in most of these mattresses, the layer of viscoelastic material is uniform, that is, it has a thickness that is regular and identical in all the
mattress surface.

This means that, as has been shown, to that the layer of viscoelastic material has sufficient effect on the body must be between 5 and 8 centimeters thick, all the mattress surface will have said thickness, which, in some body parts, especially at pressure points main body such as the cervical or head area, said thickness is excessive, causing some discomfort to the user, while in other areas of the body this thickness can reach be insufficient, without providing the user with the optimum effectiveness of the material to improve your rest.

Moreover, the fact that all of the viscoelastic layer is regular makes the amount of said material, for the manufacture of each mattress, since it must have at least a certain thickness to be partially effective, entails the need to incorporate a remarkable volume of it, which, logically, will increase the cost of the product.

It is, therefore, the objective of the present invention give satisfactory answer to the inconveniences described that present known conventional systems currently on the market, by creating a mattress of anatomical core which incorporates a layer of material viscoelastic variable thickness adapted in each zone of the same specifically to the needs of the body part that support on it, it should be mentioned that, on the part of the petitioner, the existence of any other mattress that is unknown is unknown. present technical, structural and similar configuration, to those presented here advocates

Explanation of the invention.

So the anatomical core mattress that the present invention proposes configures itself as a remarkable novelty within its field of application in the sector of the industry, since it successfully achieves the objectives indicated as suitable, being the characterizing details that distinguish them properly collected in the claims Finals that accompany this specification.

More concretely, and as it has been mentioned above, the recommended mattress consists of a mattress consisting of at least one layer of material viscoelastic foam, and at least one other layer of material non-viscoelastic support foam, whose uniqueness lies in the special configuration of its core in which the union between both layers, viscoelastic and support, said union presenting a design with zones of varying thicknesses depending on the area of the body that will rest on it, so that the layer of viscoelastic material is thicker in areas intended to support the body parts that allow it, while body parts that should preferably Present stronger support, they are thinner.

It is important to note that said core is designed, and studied its configuration, from data anthropometric, being performed so that at the points of main body pressure there is more adaptable foam (viscoelastic). This achieves an anatomical mattress innovative that presents a flat top surface, since the anatomical part is conformed internally, that is, in its nucleus.

Thus, this nucleus presents a better support lumbar, where the viscoelastic layer will be thinner and better adaptation of the cervical and dorsal areas, being thicker, by example, in the area of the shoulders and buttocks, since its design part of the guidelines collected through data biometric and / or anthropological tables of the population to be destin

It should be noted that the layer of material viscoelastic, which will be the top layer of the mattress will be produced in block and cut to size, with some open pore characteristics, variable density and cut with The way indicated. This layer may optionally be of material injected viscoelastic or, alternatively of other materials low strength foamed.

The foamed layer of support, which will be the bottom layer, may be of foamed material conventional, or latex or other foamed materials (high resilience, foamed with biological materials, such as by example of soybean) or shaped by springs or others.

Following the invention, it should be noted that the incorporation of transverse aeration channels is contemplated in the support layer, especially in the areas where it is get thicker, to avoid, in part, the heat that could give the high adaptability of the viscoelastic material.

Finally it should be mentioned that the design of the mattress of the invention entails the use of CNC cutting machinery (Computer Numerical Control) of high technology, performing  different generic designs for each type of person, depending on of age, weight, sex and / or height, as well as specific designs and the letter tailored to the consumer.

The new anatomical core mattress represents, therefore, an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown up to now for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, the provide sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity requested.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, of a game of planes, in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figure 1 and only, and of according to the numbering adopted in it, it can be seen as the mattress (1) in question comprises at least one upper layer (2) made of viscoelastic foamed material and a lower layer (3) of support, in which the upper surface or outer face (2a) of the  top layer (2) is flat and the bottom surface or outer face (3a) of the lower layer (3) is also flat, both layers being (2) and (3) joined together, in the inner zone or core (4) of the mattress, for their respective inner faces (2b) and (3b), forming an undulating irregular surface, which determines that the thicknesses (2c) and (3c) of the respective upper layers (2) and lower (3) are variable.

It is important to note that the aforementioned variation of the thicknesses of the lower layers (3) and, especially of the upper (2), conforms to a specific design that allows the anatomical adaptation of the human body to which it is intended, so that each zone (2d), marked orientatively in figure 1 between dashed lines, the top layer (2) will have the thickness suitable for the part of the body to which it is intended, being, for example, finer in areas destined to the body than they require greater firmness, such as the lower back, and thicker in those others that will adapt better to viscoelastic material with  that said layer (2) is made, such as the shoulders or the butt.

The top layer (2) of the mattress, which as said it will be, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, of viscoelastic foaming material, will be produced in block and cut to size, being open pore, variable density and cut in the manner described above. This layer (2), optionally it may be injected viscoelastic material or, alternatively from other low foamed materials resistance.

On the other hand, the lower support layer (3), it may be of conventional foamed material, or of other materials foamed (high resilience, foamed with biological materials, such as soybeans) or formed by springs or others.

Finally the invention provides for the incorporation of aeration channels (5), arranged transversely in the layer lower (3), and especially in the areas where it is acquired thicker, to avoid, in part, the heat that could give the high adaptability of viscoelastic material.
