Definitions

  • Support device in particular mattress, box spring or seat
  • This invention relates to mattresses, box springs for beds or seats comprising a set of fluid chambers which communicate their pressure.
  • Diagram N ° 1 Section of two elements of the network with representation of the circuits.
  • Diagram N ° 2 Installation of the device.
  • Diagram N ° 4 Body at rest on the device.
  • Each element is composed of a block (1), the side walls of which are pierced with orifices allowing communication with neighboring elements using flexible conduits (4), and, on the upper part, of a double wall flexible forming a double vertical cylindrical chamber (2), here curved and filled with a light foam in order to keep a vertical position by default while exerting a force barely perceptible by the body.
  • the device first comprises a fluid circuit (A), isolated from the external pressure and which supports the weight of a body.
  • An air flow (B) diffuses at the upper ends of the chambers which can be supplied by a ventilation (5).
  • Each flexible chamber transmits a small part of the body weight to the fluid contained in the chambers of neighboring elements.
  • the fluid is put under pressure and this force is retransmitted to the other chambers by the channel of the conduits, so as to allow the distribution of ⁇ the pressure without zones in peaks or hollow on the body, as the diagram N ° 4 shows it.
  • the epidermal compression is reduced by the presence of a padding (3) very permeable to air fixed on the upper part of each element.
  • Comfort is further improved by the air flow, the temperature and intensity of which are controlled by an adaptable ventilation (5).
  • the initial fluid pressure is adjusted by a pump (6) using a gauge (7) so that the body sinks as far as possible into the network of elements, thus minimizing epidermal compression.
  • the flexible conduits (4) have been superimposed on diagram No. 1. In fact, better flexibility can be obtained on the mattresses or adjustable seat structures with flexible conduits juxtaposed as in diagram No. 2 (top view). It is also conceivable that the double wall is foldable in the manner of an accordion or a bellows, or that it is associated with a rigid and telescopic mechanism allowing vertical guidance.
  • the present invention has the following properties:
