  PIECE IN WATERPROOF MATERIAL FOR MATTRESSES OR

ANALOGS ,.

  The present invention relates to a part

  waterproofed for mattresses or the like.

  The novelty of the part according to the invention lies in the fact that it is a rubber foam plate provided with very small holes, the surface of this plate and

  even the interior of the holes being waterproofed.

  The part can be waterproofed by immersing the rubber foam in a waterproofing liquid or in a bath of a waterproofing product or by any other technique known per se and currently used. Despite the fact that it is waterproofed, the part according to the invention has a ventilation capacity through the holes, and it is also possible to obtain that the rubber foam does not modify its nature by absorbing external foreign materials, which implies a longer product life and a lower risk of

deformation.

  -2- The part according to the invention is used for the manufacture of cradle mattresses which avoid suffocation. It is also used for mattresses and small sanitary rugs, as well as for cushions, backrests and cushions for garden furniture, these objects can be advantageously cleaned by removing impurities from the alveoli or waterproofed holes, including under the tap and at soap, making sure to dry them quickly. The waterproofing of the rubber foam or polyeter plate according to the invention, provided with small holes or cells, over its entire surface and even inside the holes, involves the isolation of the entire plate while keeping the holes free for air circulation and quick cleaning by washing,

as well as its elasticity.

  The rubber foam which constitutes the part according to the invention can be coated with a waterproofing

corresponding or be laminated.

  Likewise, the part according to the invention can be made of a product other than rubber foam, provided that the holes or cells are present, that they are waterproof and that they lend themselves to the same uses as those

mentioned above.

  The part according to the invention can be used without or with a cotton base, in order to facilitate the circulation of air through the small holes mentioned above.

  and at the same time exercise the function of absorbent.

  The material used for waterproofing is completely harmless to humans. This system eliminates the problems of bad perspiration, adds significant advantages over uniform plates, and has strong attractions for various uses.

humans it lends itself to.

  The use as a crib mattress (mattress preventing suffocation) facilitates the circulation of air through the holes, necessary for the perspiration of the baby, which advantageously avoids excessive sweating,

skin irritations, etc.

  For this specific case, the mattress is designed to avoid

  baby may suffocate while sleeping.

  Taking into account the fact that traditional crib mattresses are plastic sheets in their entirety, thereby lacking any ventilation which passes through them, and since babies sleep with their mouths down to avoid asphyxiation by vomiting, the mattress of the invention prevents the baby from being asphyxiated when by accident and following his

  movements, it is completely covered by the bedding.

  The mattresses used as devices of the invention can also find their application in the sanitary field, for patients suffering from incontinence problems or hemorrhages, instead of the usual mattresses, which has the advantage that, because it is an elastic mattress that can be folded, its ability to adapt to hospital beds is

maximum.

  When waterproofed by immersion, a mattress without folds or seams is obtained, which facilitates cleaning and eliminates the risk of waste accumulation.

organic in the folds.

  The mattress can be completed with a wire cloth

transparent as an absorbent.

  Àt 2651105 -4 - Another application of this mattress would be its use in the child's first bed, after the cradle. All these applications can be extended to cushions, backrests and small carpets for furniture

indoor and outdoor.

  For a better understanding, not only of the constitution, but also of the use of the part according to the invention, reference will be made hereinafter to a practical example of execution thereof, this embodiment being simply given by way of nonlimiting explanation of the invention as illustrated in the appended drawing which shows the part 1, of generally prismatic shape and which defines a plate 2 having small through holes 3 distributed so

regular or irregular.

  The part has a coating 4, of a waterproofing substance which covers the exterior surface and the interior of the holes. Holes have diameters

  different and are staggered.
