Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively transmit microvibrations to human bodies and also guide users into comfortable sleep by providing a loudspeaker opposite to the air passage of each air mat main body, the loudspeaker being adapted to generate acoustic vibrations through air signal. CONSTITUTION:Each air mat main body 1 is provided with a control 6 connected thereto by a cord and pressure within each air mat main body 1 can be set at desired level by driving an air pump through handling of the control 6. The communicating opening 11 of the air passage 2 of an air tube 9 is allowed to communicate with a loudspeaker box 12 having a loudspeaker 3 installed therein and the loudspeaker 3 is opposite to the air passage 2.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an air bed.
Specifically, it relates to a technology that utilizes the characteristics of an air bed to comfortably transmit vibrations to the body.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when sleeping in a bed, micro vibrations have been transmitted to the body to promote sleep or to provide a comfortable sleep.

0002

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, mechanical vibration generators have been used, and in this way, mechanical vibration generators have difficulty transmitting vibrations over a wide range to the body, making it difficult to feel comfortable. The problem was that it was difficult to generate vibrations. The present invention was made in view of these problems, and its purpose is to generate minute vibrations, that is, acoustic vibrations, in an air bed equipped with an air path that is filled with air and supports the body. By combining speakers, the aim is to provide an air bed that can effectively transmit minute vibrations to the body, leading to a comfortable sleep.

0003

[Means for Solving the Problems] The air bed of the present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a speaker 3 that faces the air path 2 of the air mat body 1 and generates acoustic vibrations using an electric signal. It is.

0004

[Function] By providing the speakers 3 that generate acoustic vibrations using electrical signals facing the air path 2 in the air mat main body 1, the sound from the speakers 3 that generate acoustic vibrations using electrical signals The air path 2 is configured to transmit vibrations to the entire body through the air in the air path 2, effectively expanding the vibration transmission range compared to conventional mechanical vibration generators, and transmitting minute vibrations to the body. This makes it possible to effectively utilize and simplify the air mattress body 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1(a), the air bed A has a plurality of air mat bodies 1 connected together at fold lines so as to be foldable. As shown in FIG. 2, each air mat main body 1 has a cushioning material 8 made of soft urethane foam placed on the upper and lower surfaces of a space surrounded by a frame 7 around a slightly hard urethane foam. Air tube 9 in which air path 2 is formed between cushioning materials 8, 8
An air pump (not shown) is provided inside the air mat main body 1, and an air tube 9 is connected to this air pump, and the air tube 9 is inflated as appropriate by driving the air pump. It is designed so that you can get a comfortable cushion.

[0006] The air mat body 1 is provided with an operating tool 6 that is connected with a cord or is wireless, and the operation of this operating tool 6 drives an air pump to adjust the pressure in each air mat main body 1 to a desired level. It is possible to set the pressure. Each air mat body 1 is covered with quilting 10, a fold is formed in this quilting 10, and each air mat body 1 can be folded at the fold.

As shown in FIG. 3, the communication port 11 of the air path 2 of the air tube 9 in the air mat body 1 is connected to the speaker box 12 containing the speaker 3, and the speaker box 12 is connected to the communication port 11. It faces air route 2. In this way, by providing the speakers 3 that generate acoustic vibrations based on electrical signals facing the air path 2 in the air mat main body 1, the acoustic vibrations from the speakers 3 that generate acoustic vibrations based on electrical signals are transmitted to the air. An air mat equipped with an air path 2 configured to transmit minute vibrations to the entire body through air in the path 2, effectively expanding the vibration transmission range compared to conventional mechanical vibration generators, and transmitting minute vibrations to the body. The main body 1 is effectively utilized and simplified.

[0008] The speaker 3 is provided at a location corresponding to the waist or legs of the body, but its placement can be modified in various ways. Incidentally, a part of the acoustic vibrations from the speaker 3 may be transmitted to the outside so that the sound vibrations can be transmitted as a sound sensation through the ears of the person sleeping. Furthermore, the configuration in which the speaker 3 faces the air path 2 can be modified in various ways.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention is provided with a speaker that generates acoustic vibrations using an electric signal and facing the air path in the air mat main body. The acoustic vibrations can be transmitted to the entire body through the air in the air path, and the vibration transmission range can be effectively expanded compared to conventional mechanical vibration generators, and the configuration transmits minute vibrations to the body. This can be simplified by effectively utilizing an air bed equipped with an air path.
