Definitions

  • the present invention relates to innerspring mattresses and more particularly to a packaged mattress assembly including an innerspring mattress.
  • Mattresses are bulky items that are expensive to ship. Upon sale and delivery to retail customers, the mattresses must be aesthetically perfect, undamaged and clean. Mattresses typically have a fabric covering that can retain dirt, dust and debris. Such soiling is unacceptable prior to delivery to the end consumer and thus mattresses need to be protected during shipment. Mattresses may be manufactured at remote locations, for example overseas, and shipped by cargo container in ships or by truck to a destination country. At such destination country, the mattresses are shipped, typically by truck, to distributors, warehouses, retailers, and ultimately end users. It is advantageous to bag, compress, and seal mattresses at their site of manufacture prior to overseas or other distant shipment due to the reduced volume and corresponding savings in the shipment. For commodity items such as mattresses, margins can be low and any savings, in shipping, packaging, handling can be significant.
  • a mattress is bagged, compressed, and sealed at a first geographic location.
  • a bag utilized for the bagging has an openable and closeable vent.
  • the bagged, compressed, and sealed mattress is shipped to a destination, second geographic location. It may be warehoused in the bagged, compressed, and sealed state, and may also be further transported to distributors or retailers.
  • the bagged, compressed, and sealed mattress is vented before the final end use. Such may occur before delivery to the retailer or retail customer. The vent is reclosed and the bagged uncompressed and sealed mattress is then delivered to the retailer or end user.
  • the bag is a rectilinear prism shaped form fitting bag sized to standard sized mattresses and has a closed, openable, and recloseable vent thereon before the bagging.
  • a recloseable vent is added during the process of compressing, bagging, and sealing the bagged mattress.
  • a feature and advantage of embodiments of the invention is that the bag in which the mattress is bagged, compressed, sealed, and shipped, from a first location to a second location is maintained on the mattress after the mattress is vented and allowed to expand to its normal size. Said bag may be resealed to keep dirt, debris, out of the packaged mattress.
  • a feature and advantage of embodiments is that the mattress can be vented, allowing the bagged compressed mattress to return to it original size manually without any hand tools.
  • the vent can be reclosed after venting without any hand tools and without adding any further materials or things.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric view showing a mattress.
  • Figure 2 is an exploded isometric view showing a packaged mattress assembly.
  • Figure 2A is a perspective view of a conforming form fit bag of a rectilinear prism shape with a vent means thereon.

  • the mattress 104 has a length L and a width W defined by a top side surface 136 and a bottom side surface 38 of the mattress 04 in the embodiment of Figure I .
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view showing a packaged mattress assembly 100 in accordance with the present detailed description.
  • the packaged mattress assembly 100 of Figure 2 includes a bag 102 having a bag wall 122.
  • the bag wall 122 has an interior surface 124 and an exterior surface 126.
  • the interior surface 124 of the bag wall 122 defines a cavity 128 that is dimensioned to receive a mattress 104.
  • the packaged mattress assembly 100 of Figure 2 includes a vent 130 that may be selectively opened and closed.

  • the cavity 128 defined by the interior surface 124 of the bag wall 122 is dimensioned to receive the mattress while the mattress is in the uncompressed state shown in Figure 2.
  • the bag 102' is configured such that when the packaged mattress assembly 100 is in the uncompressed non evacuated state, the bag 102' is form fit to the mattress 104.
  • the term "form fit" may be taken to mean that the bag wall 122 of the bag 102' generally conforms to the shape of the mattress 104 in the noncompressed state.
  • Figure 2B illustrates a mattress in the form fitting bag
  • Figure 2C illustrates the bagged, compressed, and sealed mattress in the form fitting bag.
  • the form fitting bags may be about the size of standard size mattresses with extra material on one end.
  • mattress sizes include king, queen, full, twin and crib.
  • a king size mattress may have a width of about 76 inches and a length of about 80 inches.
  • a queen size mattress may have a width of about 60 inches and a length of about 80 inches.

  • a twin size mattress may have a width of about 38 inches and a length of about 75 inches.
  • a crib size mattress may have a width of about 28 inches and a length of about 52 inches. So the mattresses are corresponding sized with some extra room for easy insertion and with extra material on an open end of the bag for sealing, see Figure 2B.

  • Polymeric film materials that may be suitable in some applications include: polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).
  • the bag wall (such as, for example, bag wall 122) may have various thickness values without deviating from the spirit and scope of this detailed description.
  • the bag wall of a bag of a packaged mattress assembly has a thickness between about 10 mil and about 0.5 mil.
  • the bag wall of a bag of a packaged mattress assembly has a thickness between about 6 mil and about 1.0 mil. In an embodiment, the bag wall of a bag of a packaged mattress assembly has a thickness between about 4 mil and about 1.5 mil. In an embodiment, the bag wall of a bag of a packaged mattress assembly has a thickness of about 3 mil. In all cases, the thickness is sufficient to not allow the compressed sealed mattress bag to deform or rip to allow unintended venting of the bag.

Abstract

L'invention concerne, selon des modes de réalisation, un matelas qui est ensaché, comprimé et scellé à un premier emplacement géographique. Un sac utilisé pour l'ensachage possède un évent pouvant être ouvert et fermé. Le matelas ensaché, comprimé et scellé est expédié vers une destination, qui est un second emplacement géographique. Il peut être entreposé à l'état ensaché, comprimé et scellé, et peut également être transporté vers des distributeurs ou des détaillants. Au niveau d'un point souhaité, le matelas ensaché, comprimé et scellé est évacué avant l'usage final. Ces étapes peuvent se produire avant distribution au détaillant ou à l'acheteur au détail. L'évent est refermé et le matelas ensaché, non comprimé et scellé est ensuite distribué au détaillant ou à un utilisateur final. Le matelas ensaché, comprimé et scellé possède un évent pouvant être ouvert et fermé.
