No. 15/433,438 entitled “Inflatable Airbed Mattress Internal Support System,” filed 15 Feb. 2017, which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e), of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/369,390, filed 1 Aug. 2016, entitled “Inflatable Airbed Mattress Internal Support System,” the entire contents and substance of which is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety as if fully set forth below.
- Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing internal support for an airbed, and, more particularly, providing an inflatable airbed having an internal support wall and side support beams.
- When a user sits or lies on an inflatable airbed, the downward force of the user's mass can cause an increase in the internal pressure of the airbed and a resultant change in shape of the airbed. This increase in internal pressure may cause the shape of the airbed to distort by, for example, creating a shearing force that may cause the walls of the airbed to bow outwards or cause the body of the airbed to slant in one direction. Such distortions may create a sense of imbalance that may affect a user's comfort level when, for example, attempting to sleep on the inflated airbed. Accordingly, to add structural stability to the body of the airbed, some airbed designs include internal structures that attempt to inhibit such distortions. This, however, may cause the airbed to become heavy or cumbersome for a user to handle or carry. Some inflatable airbeds also have a plurality of horizontal chambers that are stacked on top of one another to prevent such shearing forces. But including multiple chambers may increase the cost of production and make the airbed more cumbersome or difficult to inflate.

- Referring now to the drawings,
FIG. 1 illustrates an example embodiment of aninflatable airbed 100 having aninternal support structure 101. In one embodiment, aninflatable airbed 100 may be filled with air or some other gas and used as a mattress. In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 1 , the exterior of theinflatable airbed 100 may be defined by atop panel 102 and abottom panel 104 that are joined by one ormore side panels 106. In some embodiments, aside panel 106 may comprise one or more arc-shaped portions 109 joined together in a generally vertical orientation. In some embodiments theinflatable airbed 100 may include an internal support structure including one or moreside support beams 108, aninternal support wall 110, internal support beams 212 (shown inFIG. 2 ), andattachment strips 114. Thetop panel 102,bottom panel 104,side panels 106,side support beams 108,internal support wall 110,internal support beams 212,attachments strips 114 and any other part of theinflatable airbed 100 orinternal support structure 101 described herein may be made of polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”), plastics, rubber, or any other suitable material that is known in the art. - In some embodiments, the
inflatable airbed 100 may form a generally rectangular 3-dimensional shape when inflated. Theinflatable airbed 100 may include a valve through which air may be pumped into the internal chamber of theairbed 100 or may be released from the internal chamber of theairbed 100. In some embodiments, theinflatable airbed 100 may form an airtight chamber. In some embodiments theside panels 106 may be oriented in a generally vertical position between thetop panel 102 and thebottom panel 104. - According to some embodiments, the
internal support structure 101 may provide structure and support to theinflatable airbed 100 by providing aninternal support wall 110 and one or moreside support beams 108. Theinternal support wall 110 may be configured to provide an internal structure that attaches portions of thetop panel 102,bottom panel 104, andside panels 106 to restrict theairbed 100 from deforming out of the desired generally rectangular shape when force is exerted onto the inflatedairbed 100. In some embodiments, aninternal support wall 110 may be attached to internal surfaces of thetop panel 102 and thebottom panel 104. When theairbed 100 is inflated, theinternal support wall 110 may extend vertically from thebottom panel 104 to thetop panel 102. As shown inFIG. 1 , in some embodiments, portions of theinternal support wall 110 may be configured to extend along the direction of eachside panel 106. Accordingly, in some embodiments, theinternal support wall 110 may form a center chamber enclosed within the main chamber formed by thetop panel 102,bottom panel 104, andside panels 106, such as the rectangular chamber shown inFIG. 1 . - According to some embodiments, the
internal support wall 110 may includecorner support walls 111 that extend from one or more internal corners of the airbed (i.e., where alengthwise side panel 106 is joined with awidthwise side panel 106 or, if there only oneside panel 106, where a corner is formed in the side panel 106) to one or more corners or sides of the center chamber formed by theinternal support wall 110, as shown inFIG. 1 . It should be understood that in some embodiments, various aspects of the internal support—such as theinternal support wall 110,corner support walls 111, and internal support beams 212 (shown inFIG. 2 )—may include apertures that allow air to pass through some or all of the walls or beams so as to allow the internal chambers to fill with air upon inflation of theairbed 100. In some embodiments, theinflatable airbed 100 may include a plurality of internal and external valves that enable each internal chamber formed by theinternal support wall 110,corner support walls 111, and internal support beams 212 to be inflated separately from one another. - According to some embodiments, one or more side support beams 108 may provide an internal structure that assists in resisting deformations to the shape of the inflated airbed 100 (e.g., shearing) caused by exertions of force on a surface of the
airbed 100. Furthermore, the one or more side support beams 108 may aid in creating a structure that gives theinflatable airbed 100 the external appearance of having a plurality of horizontally stacked internal air chambers (as will be described further in relation toFIG. 2 ). For example, as shown inFIG. 1 , when viewed from the outside, theinflated airbed 100 appears to have three horizontal air chambers that are vertically stacked on one another. In some embodiments, one or more side support beams 108 connectsside panels 106 to theinternal support wall 110. Aside support beam 108 may be a somewhat horizontally oriented beam that may span the length of aside panel 106. In some embodiments, aside support beam 108 may span a portion of the length of aside panel 106 that is less than the full length of theside panel 106. According to some embodiments, eachside panel 106 may be connected to one or more side support beams 108, as shown inFIG. 1 . In some embodiments, the side support beams 108 may include apertures, which may allow air to easily pass through the side support beams 108 and may decrease the overall weight of theairbed 100. - According to some embodiments, the internal support structure may include a plurality of side support beams 108. For example, in some embodiments, as shown in
FIG. 2 , a firstside support beam 108 may extend from afirst vertex 207 of afirst side panel 106 and a secondside support beam 108 may extend from asecond vertex 207 from the first side panel. According to some embodiments, the first and second side support beams 108 may attach to aninternal support wall 110 at the same location of theinternal support wall 110. In contrast, certain embodiments, such as the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , have a firstside support beam 308 and a secondside support beam 308 that attach to aninternal support wall 110 at different locations. Side support beams 108 that can attach to aninternal support wall 110 at the same location may allow the airbed to deform or react to internal pressure created by a user's mass resting on theairbed 100 in a different way than that allowed by side support beams 308. Thus, use of one over the other may be preferable depending on the circumstances, such the desired application or the materials used to construct some or all of the parts of the airbed. In embodiments that includecorner support walls 111, an edge of a side support beam 108 (orside support beam 308, as the case may be) may attach to the surface of acorner support wall 111, as shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 2 , theside panels 106 of certain embodiments can include one or more arc-shapedportions vertex 207. Each arc-shapedportion airbed 100 includes a plurality of stacked horizontal chambers. - In some embodiments, such as those shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theinternal support structure 101 may further include a plurality of internal support beams 212 that may provide additional structure and support to theairbed 100.
