Abstract
1398544 Mattresses AUTO ROLLS S R L 13 Oct 1972 [14 Oct 1971] 47447/72 Heading A4M A mattress 1 for bedridden patients includes an air-impervious diagonal wall 701 dividing the mattress into two independently inflatable compartments 2, 3 communicating valve respective ducts 4, 5 and valves 9, 10 with an air pump 6, the valves 9, 10 being operated alternatively in a timed sequence to alternately inflate and deflate the chambers 2, 3 through stages in which one or other chamber only is inflated and in which both chambers are either inflated or deflated. The cycle of operations effects a rolling of the patient from side to side, the patient being secured to the mattress by straps 801, 901. Each valve 9, 10 includes a first port 15 which in one valve position puts the respective chamber in communication with the pump 6 and a second port 16 which vents the chamber to atmosphere. The pump 6 works in conjunction with a timing mechanism 17 controlling electromagnets 18, 19 for displacing a valve port 14.
