Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inflatable, contoured lying or sitting area with support and / or wrapping according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Field of application of the invention is the use of such a lying surface for various sitting and lying tasks.
  • the invention provides that such a contoured lying surface as a pillow, as a neck support pillow, as Lying area in a bed in connection with a mattress or a loose Upholstery is used.
  • the invention provides a Such lying surface also as a seat for work and armchairs, for chairs, Use car seats and the like.
  • Upholstered furniture is also to be equipped with the lying surface according to the invention.
  • an inflatable lying surface In the simplest form this is an air mattress.
  • Such an air mattress already has a contour in such a way that they are box-shaped (rectangular) in plan view is and in the side view (lying profile) continuously even about has a straight rectangular profile.
  • the lying surface is therefore over the entire length and width uncontoured straight and flat.
  • Such an air mattress is not for use as a bed in a bed or suitable in an upholstered armchair because there is no air passage and moreover, contouring, d. H. So there is no adaptation to the body shape.
  • Contouring the lying surface is understood to mean that the unloaded Lying surface has a certain contour (lying profile). This contour is supposed to provide optimal orthopedic support for the body areas lying on it keep free from point loads.
  • the invention also assumes that the inflatable lying surface of one corresponding padded jacket is surrounded and / or at least one upper support contributes to such a lying surface at all as a mattress, pillow or To use seat cushions.
  • Air mattresses made of pure plastic films as well as air mattresses made of coated Textile material.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of an inflatable lying or Seat with an upholstered jacket and / or a support of the aforementioned Kind in such a way that the profile of the lying surface in the unloaded state Pre-contouring (adaptation to the body areas lying on it) and that the lying surface has a certain damping capacity.
  • the advantage is achieved that in one Contour of the lying area forming outer chamber at least one inner chamber is attached, the top and bottom with the respective inner surfaces of the Outer chamber is connected and therefore the spacing, internal Ridges defined in the outer chamber. According to the height of the webs (height of the Inner chamber) defines the lying profile of the outer chamber.
  • the inner chamber thus forms an internal damping element.
  • This inner damping element has the further advantage that it permitted according to the invention to increase the outer contour of the lying surface as a whole contour.
  • Such a contouring (shaping) is especially important for the Use of the lying surface as a pillow because of such contouring the neck is supported in a special way. Therefore, such a pillow is included a contoured support surface is ideal for sleeping in the supine position and also suitable for sleeping in the side position.
  • the lying surface is continuous Lying area designed for a bed and the contouring plays a role here as well great role, because by contouring the lying surface, for. B. now certain areas are optimally adapted to the contours of the body. In this way can therefore be optimally adjusted to the contouring of the lying surface Spine of the person lying on it can be guaranteed.
  • a lying surface consists of a Outer chamber and an inner chamber arranged therein.
  • the outer chamber is designed to be inflatable or can be filled with a gaseous or liquid medium.
  • the inner chamber from the airtight External chamber is separated and is sealed by this. This results in the Padding function between the outer chamber and that of this airtight separated inner chamber, which is completely enclosed by the outer chamber.
  • This inner chamber can now in a first embodiment for itself taken to be inflatable, so that outer chamber and inner chamber through separate inflatable spouts are inflatable separately.
  • the inner chamber is not designed to be inflatable, and with a constant air volume is filled.
  • the inner chamber is not provided with an inflation nozzle, but that the inner chamber is yours Air supply from the outside atmosphere, so the air supply into the Inner chamber is made directly from the outside (outside the lying surface).
  • the main advantage is that you have a complete air duct through the inner chamber (separate from the Can provide through), d. that is, if the inner chamber is air-tight Both on the underside and on the top with appropriate holes is provided, then the inner chamber is constantly changing Load conditions on the lying surface are ventilated and air flows through them.
  • Another ventilation effect occurs when the entire lying area is included the ventilation system described is enclosed in a textile cover, which textile cover has a certain flow resistance. It forms then on the outer surface of the bed surface towards the inner surface of the enveloping textile cover another air chamber, which is an air distributing Has effect, so that the ventilation air over this air gap over the entire textile cover is distributed and only then penetrates to the outside.
  • the degree of contouring depends on the dimensions (vertical Height) of the inner chamber and of the fastening points with which the Inner chamber is attached to the inner surfaces of the outer chamber.
  • the outer chamber is now filled with a certain volume of air, then the volume expansion of the outer chamber automatically Inner chamber pulled apart and adapts its contour to the outer chamber, because the inner chamber at the top and bottom of the inner walls of the Outer chamber is attached. In this way, the inner chamber forms Support element and damping element, which - due to the shape of the Inner chamber - allows the outer chamber to be contoured.
  • the ventilation system is also used for such a lying surface and for the type and design of the ventilation system is claimed separately, which should be independent of the contouring system.
  • a pillow 1 which consists essentially of there is a cushion jacket 2 by the neck support pillow 3 according to the invention is installed.
  • the neck support pillow 3 is integrated into the pillow, for example 1 in such a way that the upholstery jacket 2 has corresponding joints 5 has, so that an inner receptacle 6 in the cushion jacket 2 is accessible in the neck support pillow 3 is inserted.
  • the upholstery jacket 2 has longitudinal slots 4, which extend partially are cut into the padded jacket 2 and still have the ventilation effect improve. Air that is expelled from the neck support pillow 3 upward is received in these longitudinal slots 4 and towards the outside Head and neck headed.
  • segment-shaped longitudinal slots 4 in the support surface are softer because longitudinal stresses are removed from the bearing surface be and thereby a softer edition is achieved.
  • the pillow 1 is acc.
  • Figure 2 is approximately club-shaped.
  • the middle area with the neck contour adapted to the human neck 8 thus serves to support the neck area of the head while the Side areas with the contours 7, 7 a, 7 b for supporting the side parts of the Head in the side position of sleep are suitable.
  • Figure 3 also shows that the pillow 1 in the longitudinal direction of it lying people in profile is contoured so that there is a lower headrest 11 results, which merges into an elevated neck support surface 12.
  • FIG. 3 also shows that the upholstery jacket 2 still has a cover 9 can be enclosed, which is preferably made of an air-permeable textile material consists.
  • neck support pillow 3 is inflated now different contours 7, 7 a, 7 b, 8, 8 a both for the neck, as well as for the side head area can be formed.
  • the neck support pillow 3 according to the invention is provided, which is shown schematically in Figure 4. It can be seen that an outer shell 30th is present, which defines an airtight sealed outer chamber 15, which can be filled via a corresponding inlet nozzle 31 (see FIG. 7) and can be emptied.
  • the outer chamber 15 is formed by longitudinal weld seams 26 formed, while the inner shell by longitudinal welds 27 is formed.
  • FIG. 4 already shows schematically an aeration system Inner chamber, although it is pointed out here, this ventilation system is only claimed as inventive, among other things. It will - like in general Part described - first the contouring function of the entire lying area claimed by the geometric relationships between the inner shell 29th and outer shell 30 result. The ventilation function is both separated and in Combination with the contouring system claimed as essential to the invention.
  • the inner shell 29 has appropriate Double welds 28 is connected to the inner surfaces of the outer shell 30, so that the inner shell 29 at the top and bottom on the inside with the outer shell 30th is connected over the entire length of the inner shell.
  • the outer chamber 15 can only be inflated until the inner shell 29 in a certain stretched position is shifted, which then creates another Expansion of the outer chamber 15 can no longer happen. Out of this the spacing function of the inner casing 29 and its contour-determining result Function for the lying contour of the outer cover.
  • FIG. 4 shows that the Inner shell 29 is in a maximum, stretched state.
  • the entire contour the height 33 determines.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show - in an arrangement not to scale - the different heights.
  • the height 33 be significantly smaller than the height 33 a.
  • 5 shows the fact that in substantially air-evacuated outer chamber 15, while FIG. 6 shows the air provided outer chamber 15, so that the inner chamber 16 accordingly is shown stretched. This comes in comparison to the drawings Drawings Figures 5 and 6 only imperfectly expressed.
  • the inner chamber 16 can also be completely emptied, however, and only one Contain rest of air.
  • Filling chamber 19 is present, the z. B. with medicinal herbs 20 or with cotton wool or another fragrance store is filled, which is mixed with essential oils or is filled.
  • FIGS 5 to 7 show further details of how the inner shell 29 with the Outer shell 30 is connected.
  • Figure 7 first shows that the outer shell is completely self-contained and carries a weld seam 26 running all around.
  • the inner shell 29 is now arranged in the interior of the outer shell, whereby it each with double weld seams 28 on an inner opposite Surfaces of the outer shell 30 is welded.
  • the air in the outer chamber 15 thus flows around the inner shell 29 without into it to penetrate.
  • the outer chamber 15 is now inflated, then the upper and lower cover surface of the outer shell 30 from one another, as a result of which the inner shell 29 6 is stretched.
  • the height 33 is thus much larger than the height 33 a.
  • the fully inflated state of the outer chamber 15 is thus Extension of the inner shell 29 to the maximum height 33 a the contour of the lying surface determined at this point.
  • the overall contour of the z. B. a neck support pillow be club-shaped because - across the width of the neck support pillow 3 seen the height 33 can now be chosen much smaller in the middle parts than in the outer parts of the neck support pillow 3. This then leads to that when inflating the outer chamber 15, the outer contours 7, 7 a, 7 b (see Figure 2) expand very much outwards, for example the middle contour 8, 8 a expands only slightly.
  • the inner shell 29 is thus a web-like spacing element, which the Contour of the outer shell defined.
  • the inner shell also has the function that it acts as a shock absorbing element and that with an impact on the outer shell 30, this impact does not immediately affect the Contact surface of the outer shell 30 on a base surface, not shown penetrates.
  • FIG. 7 now shows this waisted contour 32 in a top view of the one in dashed lines Represented inner shell 29, resulting in the bone-shaped formation of the neck support pillow 3 according to FIG.
  • the ventilation effect is then enhanced when the whole Neck support pillow 3 by means of retaining tabs 37 on a not shown Fastening surface (for example in the padded jacket 2) is attached.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show the partially inflated and more inflated Condition of the neck support pillow 3 in longitudinal section. This corresponds to the Cross section in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the inner shell 29 has the shape shown in FIG shown double welds with the outer shell 30 each on the ceiling and is connected on the bottom and that the bores 17, 18, the outer shell 30 and Push through the inner shell 29, but only air-tight with the inner chamber 16 of the Inner shell 29 are connected, but not to the space of the outer chamber 15 Outer shell 30.
  • FIG. 10 now shows the application of the invention as a lying surface. It is only a few elements of such a lying area shown. It goes without saying it goes without saying that such a lying surface can also be used as a seat in upholstered furniture, Sofas or work chairs can be used. It can also be used as Find back cushions.
  • the lying surface consists of one Outer shell 35 in the dimensions of e.g. 100 cm x 200 cm at a maximum Height of z. B. 10- 20 cm, in which a variety of transverse to the longitudinal direction extending inner sleeves 36 are used.
  • Each inner shell has, for example a dimension of e.g. B. 10 cm x 100 cm at a maximum height of z. B. 10 - 20 cm.
  • the inner casings can be integrated tightly into the outer casing , but they can also be a mutual distance in the range of about 1 cm up to 30 cm.
  • the lying surface 34 according to FIG. 10 consists of a multiplication of the arrangement according to Figure 7. It follows that in a continuous, airtight welded outer shell 30 a plurality of side by side Inner chambers 16 are arranged, each from the previously described Inner shells 29 exist, each of which has the described double weld seam 28 connected on the bottom and top sides to the inner surfaces of the outer casing 30 are.
  • Inner sleeves 36 arranged parallel and side by side.
  • Each inner shell 36 is constructed in exactly the same way as the inner shell 29 previously described and also the connection to the respective outer shell 35 via the previously described double weld seams 28th
  • the double weld seams 28 have a different contour take place so that a contouring in both the width 38 and the length 39th the lying surface 34 can take place.
  • the inner sleeves 36 are thus the contouring elements, i. H. so the Shaping elements, which determine the state of inflation of the outer shell 35 and define.
  • the contour of the outer shell 35 can be relatively arbitrary are formed and shaped over the length and width 38, 39.
  • this lying surface 34 has the most varied anatomical Circumstances can be adjusted, just simply the corresponding Dimensions of the built-in, spacing and spacing Inner sleeves 36 need to be changed.
  • the inner sleeves 36 are connected to one another in an air-tight manner and separated from the outer chamber 15 are.
  • the inner sleeves 36 flowed through by a tempered, liquid or a gaseous medium are.
  • the outer shell 35 not only with one can flow through gaseous medium; it can also be a tempered one Liquid for filling the outer shell or for flowing through the outer shell be used.
  • the inner sleeves 36 are coated with a liquid Medium are filled and the outer shell 35 results in a gaseous medium the lying characteristics of a water bed, but with superior orthopedic adjustment options.
