Definitions
- the present invention is directed to an improved mattress that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. It is an object of the present invention to provide an air mattress that has an improved foam arrangement for supporting the patient.
- each air cylinder includes an air inlet connected to the atmosphere by an air inlet valve and an air outlet.
- the air outlets of all air cylinders may be connected together and to a restricted internal check outlet valve.
- the air outlets of alternating air cylinders may be connected together and to a restricted internal check outlet valve.
- the air outlets of alternating air cylinders may be connected together and to a hose connector which is adapted for connecting to a pump.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of an air mattress according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a side sectional view of an air mattress according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figures 4A-D are side sectional views of various air cylinders.
- Figures 7 and 7A are top and side views, respectively, of a heel pillow showing its dimensions.
- Figure 11 is a top perspective view of the air segment showing the dimensions.
- Figure 13 is a side partial sectional view of the air cylinders of Fig. 12 showing the air inlets and the dimensions.
- the present invention is directed to improved air mattresses primarily intended for hospitals, long term care facilities and in-home use.
- An air mattress according to embodiments of the invention has an improved construction of layered foam to further limit or prevent ulcerations from the patient lying on the mattress for long periods.
- Foam layers having various densities and firmnesses are used to provide specific support characteristics.
- the various support characteristics are achieved by layering various densities of foam.
- the selection of the foam densities is such that the pressures of the body in various portions of the mattress are optimized. For example, the pressure at the heel portions of the body, the pressure at the head portion of the body and the pressure at the thigh portions of the body are all and foam pieces are selected to optimize the reduction of the occurrence of ulcers.
- a first foam layer 16 has two segments.
- the head end and body portion 16a consists of two layers of foam, the upper layer 16b being 15 IFD 1.45 lb/ft 3 foam and the lower layer 16c being 25 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 foam.
- the foot portion 16d is a single layer of 15 IFD 1.45 lb/ft 3 foam. As shown more clearly in Fig. 2, the foot portion 16d is slightly sloped downwardly from the head end to the foot end.
- Below the first foam layer 16 is an air sector 18 including eight air cylinders 18a filled with resilient foam materials. The foam filling of each of these cylinders is shown in Figs.
- heel pillow 24 One example of a fiber filled heel pillow that can be used as the heel pillow 24 is described in commonly owned United States Patent No. 5,398,354, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the heel support 22 and heel pillow 24 form a heel support assembly 26.
- a U shaped side/end rail 28 made of 55 IFD 1.80 lb/ft 3 foam surrounds the cylinders 18a and the heel support assembly 26 and holds them in place.
- a flexible skin cover 30 encloses the first foam layer 16, the air sector 18, the heel support assembly 26 and the side/end rail 28.
- the flexible skin cover 30 is not shown in Fig. 1 to avoid overcrowding.
- the flexible skin cover 30 is waterproof and protects the foam components from contamination. Further details of the various components described above are shown in Figs. 7-11.
- a bottom cover 32 is connected to the top cover 14 by suitable means such as a zipper.
- An upper layer of the bottom cover 32 is made of nylon laminated to a thin layer of butyl rubber.
- the lower cover is made of a four way stretchable low moisture vapor permeable polyurethane coated fabric.
- a zipper or other conventional means, such as hook and loop fabric connectors may also be used to connect the top cover 14 and the bottom cover 32.
- each of the cylinders 18a is 6.50" wide and 4.75" high and has one of the four types of constructions shown in Figs. 4A-D.
- the first two cylinders closest to the head of the mattress have a type 1 construction, which has a single piece of 25 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 foam as shown in Fig. 4A.
- the next cylinder from the head has a type 2 construction, consisting of three layers of foam (from the top, 15 IFD 1.45 lb/ft 3 , 25 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 , and 35 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 foam) as shown in Fig. 4B.
- the next three cylinders from the head have a type 4 construction with three layers of foam (from the top, 25 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 , 29 IFD 1.85 lb/ft 3 , and 35 IFD 2.85 lb/ft 3 foam) and a 0.25" booster layer of 36 IFD 1.50 lb/ft 3 foam below them, as shown in Fig. 4D.
- the firmness and density of the foams filling the cylinders are varied according to the particular portion of the body it will support in order to minimize interface pressure focal points at the most vulnerable points, e.g. the scapular or sacral areas.
- the overall firmness of the types increases in the order of type 1 (softest), type 2, type 3, and type 4 (the firmest).
- the type 1 construction is used for the head
- the type 2 construction is used for the scapular and heels
- the type 3 construction is used for the thighs
- the type 4 construction is used for the derriere.
- the use of multiple layers of foam, rather than a single piece of foam helps to obtain the desired density and support characteristics. Although more expensive than using a single layer of foam material, this construction increases the performance of the mattresses.
- 3 A, 3B and 5 can be used in a powered or a non-powered air mattress.
- such an air mattress is convertible between a powered and a non-powered air mattress depending on whether a pump is connected.
- restricted internal check valves similar to valve 36a are used for the two sets of outlets to allow slow, restricted outflow of air.
- a non-powered air mattress for both the embodiment shown in Figs. 2, 2A, 2B and the one in Figs. 3, 3A, 3B when not powered
- upon ingress the pressure level changes in each affected air cylinder.
- the mattress can operate in an alternating pressure cycle.
- This is achieved by a rotary valve in the pump 102 which rotates at a predetermined cycle, and alternately lines up with one of the two air hoses 104 to pressurize one set of air cylinders 18a while allowing air to evacuate out through the pump from the other, previously pressurized set of air cylinders.
- This operation offers the therapeutic benefits of a gentle, alternating low pressure.
- the present invention has been described in the preferred embodiment as for an air powered system, the configuration of the foam can be used in a non air powered mattress or in a completely foam mattress.
- the present invention has been described in considerable detail in order to comply with the patent laws by providing full public disclosure of at least one of its forms. However, such detailed description is not intended in any way to limit the broad features, principles or scope of the present invention. It is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations that come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
