Description

Mattress Having Human Body Load Distribution Support Structure And Ventilation Maximization Structure}

The present invention relates to a mattress, and more particularly, to a mattress including a structure capable of effectively distributing and supporting a human body load and maximizing air permeability by inducing smooth air circulation.

In general, a mattress for a bed is a means for providing cushioning force and buffering force by being mounted on a bed frame, and is basically a spring assembly, an intermediate member laminated and attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the spring assembly, and inserted into and attached to the circumferential surface of the spring assembly. It is configured to include an edge former, and a cover member that surrounds the surface of the intermediate member and the edge former.

Looking briefly at the manufacturing method of a general mattress for a bed, first, a spring assembly composed of springs arranged at equal intervals over the area of the mattress and a helical coil binding the springs is provided, and then the circumference of the spring assembly is provided. The edge former is inserted and attached as a support means to the surface.

Next, as an intermediate member on the upper and lower surfaces of the spring assembly, several layers of cushion means including felt and non-woven fabric are continuously laminated.

Finally, the upper and lower surfaces and circumferential surfaces of the intermediate member and the outer surface of the edge former are covered with a cover member, that is, a mattress cover, and then the joints of the cover are sealed with a sealing means.

However, the existing mattress for a bed as described above has a problem in that when the spring assembly, which is an internal component of the mattress for a bed, is made of a metal material, metallic noise is generated, and when rust occurs, elasticity is lowered.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above problems, a water bed having a water tube and a bed having an air tube have been developed.

However, the water bed does not completely fill the inside of the water tube with water to give a cushioning feeling, which causes a rolling phenomenon due to the swaying water, and since a large amount of water is stored, it is not easy to move the bed. There is a problem that is not.

The bed having the air tube has the advantage of being light and not heavy compared to the water bed, but when the pressure of the air injected into the tube is increased to eliminate the rolling phenomenon, the tube expands and the cushioning force decreases, so that the user's body is not supported as a whole. Because of this, there is a problem that causes back pain.

In addition, in all beds having such a configuration, as the intermediate member, cushion means, edge former, etc. are sealed with a mattress cover, the inside of the mattress for the bed is in a state of being disconnected from the outside air, thereby reducing air permeability. There are disadvantages that provide various unhealthy factors such as moisture remaining and mold may occur, and mites may remain.

In order to solve this problem, a “mattress for a bed with an air tube built-in” shown in FIG. 1 has been developed.

By the way, in the mattress according to the prior art shown in FIG. 1, the upper tube receiving the user's load among the air tubes has a square grid pattern, and the corner portion where the four tubes meet is a weak part in the bearing capacity of the tube, In this case, deformation such as depression easily occurs, and there is a problem in use, such as losing the balance of the body when the user lies down on the corner.

In addition, there is a problem that the body is caught between the gaps when the user lies on his side between the gaps because the tubes that are separated from each other are formed extending while forming a long straight gap.

The upper tube and the lower tube are communicated through a plurality of communication units, so when a user's load is applied to the upper tube, when the volume of the lower tube is greater than the working volume of the upper tube due to the load, air flows through the plurality of communication units Since the lower tube is filled at once, even if a porous cushioning member such as a sponge is built-in, there is a problem in that a specific part receiving a intensive load is excessively depressed. In addition, the space between the support plate through which the communication part passes between the upper tube and the lower tube is formed larger than the diameter of the communication part and is a weak supporting force by the support plate. There is a problem.

Therefore, there is a need for a technique capable of solving the above-mentioned problems according to the prior art.
