Definitions
- the present invention refers to a bed plane with improved structure.
- the rhythm of our way of life, working whilst seated and the increasingly frequent lack of physical exercise lead us increasingly towards a new concept of comfort, determined by new habits and requirements.
- the bed the place where we spend around one third of our lives, occupies a particularly important space and constitutes the object of modern health research.
- Variable and individual factors are the main elements to be considered in realising the optimal bed system, which evolves the quality of sleep and, consequently, the quality of life.
- the purpose of the present invention is, therefore, that of realising a bed plane with improved structure, which allows orthopaedically correct support of the spinal column to be obtained, with the further possibility of obtaining an active reaction of the bed plane to the anatomy of the body lying down.
- Another purpose of the present invention is that of realising a bed plane with improved structure, in which aesthetic considerations are integrated with a system ideal for sleep, capable of ensuring total and physiologically healthy rest in all aspects.
- Another purpose of the present invention is that of indicating a bed plane with improved structure, which allows personalised resting solutions to be obtained, capable of individually solving the problems connected with getting a good nights sleep.
- a further purpose of the present invention is that of indicating a bed plane with improved structure, which, in relation to the different areas of pressure that our body exerts on the mattress according to purely individual variables, always ensures a correct posture, designing tailored sleep for each user.
- the last but not least purpose of the present invention is that of realising a bed plane with improved structure that is easy and cost-effective to make, without using complex technologies or expensive components .
- These and other purposes are accomplished, within the scope of the present invention, by realising a bed plane with improved structure, according to claim 1, to which we refer for the sake of brevity.
- the bed plane according to the present invention ensures quality of rest for all body shapes (tall, short, obese, thin, etc.), weights and individual needs, based upon the different positions assumed during sleep (mainly prone, on one's back and on one's side), which determine infinite distributions of the weight of the body lying down.
- the support structure of the bed plane indeed, allows the transversal slats to actively react to the weight exerted by the different anatomical areas of the body lying down, with an upward thrust of equal intensity, equally distributed over the entire length of the bed plane, and thus ensures total comfort for any person, since it constitutes an orthopaedically correct support for the spinal column, ensuring the relaxation of the muscular system, the maintenance of a suitable body temperature and the hygienic conditions that protect against mites, bacteria, mould and dust.
- the bed plane can be available both in fixed and articulated form, adjustable manually or else with a motor (even with a remote control), so as to constitute the ideal solution for sleeping, but also for relaxing and reading, thanks to the possibility of adjusting the inclination of the plane according to one's own needs.
- the flexible slats respond elastically to the stresses of the body lying down, yielding only where necessary, preventing sinking of the body and thus allowing the spinal column to assume a physiologically correct position, the muscle system to relax and the mattress to transpire to allow sleep always in perfect hygiene conditions and in an ideal microclimate.
- the bed plane adjusts on the body, independently of the weight and the positions assumed in sleep, giving and intense feeling of well-being, similar to the total relaxation obtained when floating on water; moreover, in the case in which the slats are not contained in a perimetric frame, they are equally flexible both at the centre and at the ends, guaranteeing substantial comfort for the user.
- figure 1 is a schematic side view of a portion of bed plane with improved structure, according to the invention, in rest conditions;
- figure 2 is a schematic side view of a portion of bed plane with improved structure, according to the invention, in stress conditions of the bed plane following a body lying down;
- figure 3 is a schematic side view of a portion of bed plane with improved structure, according to the present invention, in rest conditions, in which the operation of an articulated part of the plane is illustrated.
- the structure of the bed plane object of the present invention, comprises a frame, generically indicated with 10 in the figures and consisting of a central bearing body, from which a plurality of stems or pistons 11 project, at the top end of which the slats are connected, through balancing joints, said slats being arranged transversally to the plane, which usually constitute the support for the mattress.
- the top ends of the stems 11 are connected to a support beam, in turn connected, again through balancing joints, to a pair of flexible slats.
- Each stem 11 has a vertical excursion, which allows the bed plane to adapt to the anatomy of the body, receiving the heaviest and bulkiest zones, such as the shoulders and pelvis and energetically propping up those that require greater support, such as the lumbar zone, independently of the weight and configuration of the person who lies down there; this happens by exploiting the principle of equalisation of pressures, so that the lowering of one or more slats or portions thereof corresponds to the raising of other slats of the plane.
- the bed plane of the invention can foresee the use of two different types of frame 10: a perimetric frame 10, in which the slats are contained inside the frame 10 itself, or else a frame 10 constructed in an underlying position, in which the slats define the perimeter of the bed plane and the aforementioned frame 10 is smaller in size than the slats.
- each stem or piston 11 is associated with a respective spring (or other elastic and yielding element) 12, arranged between the top end 13 of the frame 10 and a small support block 14 of a respective pulley or sliding guide 15 for the transmission of motion.
- a respective spring or other elastic and yielding element
- Each pulley or sliding guide 15 is used to transmit rotary motion by means of flexible members, generically indicated with 16 in the figures, such as belts, cords, chains or cables, fixed to the frame 10. Further pulleys or sliding guides for the transmission of motion are indicated with 17, each of which is fixed to the top end 13 of the frame 10 and arranged, at a predetermined distance, between one stem 11 and the next. It should be specified that the stems or pistons 11 can be connected together in one, two or more rows, arranged laterally or else centrally to the frame 10 of the bed plane, whereas the slats are aligned and are slidably fixed to the ends of the bed plane, through per se known devices.
- the stems 11 can be arranged exclusively in one portion of the frame 10, for example in a central portion of the bed plane, corresponding to a region of the mattress that supports the spinal column, where, in prone position, on one's back or on one's side, the parts of the body between the shoulders and the pelvis are usually rested.
