Abstract

The invention consists in arranging, by means of valves 5, 7, the cells 2 in the manner of pumps which, as a result of the deformations applied to the mattress 1 by the shift in weight of the user, suck in air from below and expel it at the top through a perforation 8 which opens into a distribution network formed by the grooves 9 and by the blind holes 10.

Description

La présente invention a trait aux matelas constitués par une masse plane en matière cellulaire ou non cellulaire (latex ou matière synthétique), dont la déformabilité élastique est accentuée par la présence d'une série d'alvéoles borgnes s'ouvrant sur sa face inférieure. The present invention relates to mattresses formed by a flat mass of cellular or non-cellular material (latex or synthetic material), the elastic deformability of which is accentuated by the presence of a series of blind cells opening on its underside.

L'invention consiste essentiellement-a agencer, à l'aide d'un système de clapets, certains au moins des alvéoles à la manière de pompes qui, sous l'effet des deformations appliquées au matelas par l'utilisateur, aspirent l'air par le dessous pour le refouler vers le haut à travers une perforation prévue au niveau du fond supérieur des alveoles envisagés, laquelle perforation débouche dans un réseau de rainures superficielles et de trous borgnes pratiqués dans la face supérieure dudit matelas. The invention consists essentially in arranging, using a system of valves, at least some of the cells in the manner of pumps which, under the effect of the deformations applied to the mattress by the user, suck the air from below to discharge it upwards through a perforation provided at the upper bottom of the envisaged cells, which perforation opens into a network of surface grooves and blind holes made in the upper face of said mattress.

Les essais ont démontré que l'effet de ventilation ainsi obtenu améliorait dans une mesure considérable le confort offert par le matelas. Tests have shown that the ventilation effect thus obtained considerably improves the comfort offered by the mattress.

Le dessin annexe, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
La figure unique de ce dessin est une coupe verticale partielle montrant schématiquement l'agencement général d'un matelas etabli conformément à l'invention.
The accompanying drawing, given by way of example, will make it possible to better understand the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is likely to provide.
The single figure of this drawing is a partial vertical section schematically showing the general arrangement of a mattress established in accordance with the invention.

A la façon connue usuelle, le matelas représenté est constitué par une masse de matière cellulaire 1 pressentant l'epaisseur requise, laquelle masse est creusée d'une multitude d'alvéoles borgnes 2, à section circulaire ou carrée qui s'ouvrent sur sa face inférieure. In the usual known manner, the mattress shown is constituted by a mass of cellular material 1 sensing the required thickness, which mass is hollowed out from a multitude of blind cells 2, of circular or square section which open on its face lower.

Conformément à l'invention, on a dispose a l'intérieur de certains au moins des alvéoles 2 un soufflet en accordéon 3 pourvu à chacune de ses extrémités d'une bride double 3a. La bride inférieure 3a est fixée par collage à la paroi de l'alvéole 2 et sert à la retenue en place d'un petit plateau circulaire 4, équipe d'un clapet basculant 5 agence de manière à venir fermer un siège annulaire ménage autour de l'ouverture centrale 4a du plateau précité. Dans la bride supérieure 3a est engagé le rebord d'un petit bottier 6 renfermant un clapet basculant 7. According to the invention, there has been arranged inside at least some of the cells 2 an accordion bellows 3 provided at each of its ends with a double flange 3a. The lower flange 3a is fixed by gluing to the wall of the cell 2 and is used to retain in place a small circular plate 4, fitted with a tilting valve 5 arranged so as to close a household annular seat around the central opening 4a of the above-mentioned plate. In the upper flange 3a is engaged the edge of a small shoemaker 6 enclosing a tilting valve 7.

Au-dessus du bottier, 6 le fond normalement ferme des alvéoles 2 est percé d'une perforation axiale 8 qui débouche à l'interieur d'un réseau de rainures 9 prévues dans la face supérieure de la masse 1 de matière cellulaire. Comme montré, les rainures 9 sont orientées à 900 les unes par rapport aux autres de manière à réunir les différentes perforations 8, étant observé qu'entre deux perforations 8 adjacentes est pratiqué un trou borgne 10. Above the shoemaker, 6 the normally closed bottom of the cells 2 is pierced with an axial perforation 8 which opens inside a network of grooves 9 provided in the upper face of the mass 1 of cellular material. As shown, the grooves 9 are oriented at 900 relative to one another so as to bring the different perforations 8 together, it being observed that a blind hole 10 is made between two adjacent perforations 8.

On comprend que lorsque l'utilisateur s'entend sur un matelas agencé å la manière qui vient d'être exposée, son poids tend évidemment à écraser la masse cellulaire 1, en déformant verticalement un certain nombre des alvéoles 2. L'air qui emplit ces alvéoles est ainsi chassé, de telle sorte qu'il provoque la fermeture du clapet inférieur 5 et l'ouverture du clapet supérieur 7 ; cet air est de la sorte refoulé vers le haut à travers les perforations 8, sa répartition régulière au-dessous de l'usager étant assurée par le réseau formé par les rainures 9 et les trous borgnes 10. It is understood that when the user agrees on a mattress arranged in the manner which has just been exposed, its weight obviously tends to crush the cell mass 1, by vertically deforming a number of the alveoli 2. The air which fills these cells are thus driven out, so that it causes the closing of the lower valve 5 and the opening of the upper valve 7; this air is thus forced upwards through the perforations 8, its regular distribution below the user being ensured by the network formed by the grooves 9 and the blind holes 10.

Lorsque l'usager déplace l'application du poids de son corps sur la face supérieure du matelas, certains alvéoles 2 sont soumis à un effet de compression comme on l'a vu ci-dessus, tandis que d'autres au contraire reprennent par élasticité leur volume initial ; au niveau de ces derniers, l'effet d'aspiration ainsi engendré provoque la fermeture étanche du clapet supérieur 7 et l'ouverture du clapet inférieur 5 qui permet l'entrée de l'air dans le soufflet 3. When the user displaces the application of the weight of his body on the upper face of the mattress, certain cells 2 are subjected to a compression effect as seen above, while others on the contrary resume by elasticity their initial volume; at the level of the latter, the suction effect thus generated causes the upper valve 7 to be sealed and the lower valve 5 opened, which allows air to enter the bellows 3.

On conçoit finalement que tout au long de la période de sommeil et sous l'effet de mouvements d'amplitude aussi réduite que ceux correspondant à la respiration d'un dormeur, un certain nombre d'alvéoles se compriment et se dilatent, en déterminant de la sorte une ventilation pratiquement continue au niveau de la face supérieure du matelas. Le confort de celui-ci est accru dans une mesure considérable. It is finally conceivable that throughout the period of sleep and under the effect of movements of amplitude as reduced as those corresponding to the breathing of a sleeper, a certain number of alveoli compress and expand, determining so a virtually continuous ventilation at the top of the mattress. The comfort thereof is increased to a considerable extent.

On conçoit que lorsque llépaisseur de la paroi qui sépare les alvéoles 2 garantit l'étanchéité, on peut se dispenser des soufflets 3. On conçoit en outre que les clapets plats 5 et 7 sont susceptibles d'être remplacés par des clapets à bille pourvus de ressorts. It will be understood that when the thickness of the wall which separates the cells 2 guarantees sealing, the bellows 3 can be dispensed with. It is further understood that the flat valves 5 and 7 are capable of being replaced by ball valves provided with springs.

I1 doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donne qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents. Les alvéoles 2 peuvent notamment recevoir des pastilles parfumes. I1 va de de'plus de soi que l'invention est susceptible d'titre appliquée avec avantage à d'autres articles de literie (oreillers, coussins, etc,...) et même à des articles d'ameublement tels que chaises , fauteuils, banquettes, etc...  It should moreover be understood that the above description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents. The cells 2 can in particular receive perfume lozenges. It goes without saying that the invention is capable of being applied with advantage to other bedding articles (pillows, cushions, etc.) and even to furnishing articles such as chairs, armchairs, benches, etc ...
