Definitions
- the present invention relates to pneumatic cushions, in particular for seat, reclining and lying cushions according to one of the independent claims.
- Pneumatic pillows are known in many ways. Some efforts have also been made to create flat structures. This is achieved in the simplest way by attaching hoses with a round cross-section.
- the traditional air mattress can serve as an example of this.
- the individual hoses are usually connected to each other in such a way that they form one or two connected air chambers.
- DI US 2,748,401
- the hoses are connected to one another in such a way that part of a hose wall is also part of the hose wall of a second hose. A quasi closer togetherness of the individual tubes can thus be achieved.
- the individual hoses are on one or two levels.
- a disadvantage of DI is, however, that the surface of the pillows produced still shows the character of hoses lying next to one another and thus the comfort to sit or lie on such a pillow, for example, is severely impaired.
- the object of the present invention is to provide pillows with a high level of comfort, in particular in order to sit, lie or lean on them.
- the solution to the problem is given in terms of its features in the characterizing part of independent claims 1, 5, 9 and 12 and in terms of further advantageous features in the dependent claims.
- the pillows according to the invention are constructed from a cover and an internal pneumatic structure.
- the pneumatic structure has at least one gas-tight chamber and specifies the shape of the pneumatic cushion.
- the pillows according to the invention can be used particularly in furnishings such as chairs, seats and beds, but also in seats of means of transport such as vehicles and aircraft are used.
- the pneumatic structure is formed from gas-tight material. It is essentially made up of a shell and webs running in it. The entire pneumatic structure is surrounded by a coating. The cover is designed to be tensioned by the pneumatic structure under pressure. As the sleeve between the webs deforms like an arc under pressure, the pneumatic structure is given a ribbed surface. Due to the tensioned covering, the individual ribs are no longer perceived so clearly, which, for example, significantly increases the seating comfort of a cushion designed in this way.
- the pneumatic structure is constructed in such a way that a functional separation can be realized between the shaping and the gas-tight means. A covering in turn encompasses the pneumatic structure in such a way that it is tensioned by the compressed pneumatic structure.
- the pneumatic structure is built up from individual tubes connected to one another.
- a cover is also placed around this embodiment of the pneumatic structure so that it is tensioned by the filled pneumatic structure.
- the pneumatic cushions can be equipped with actuators, which can also be pneumatic in nature. This enables adaptation to individual needs.
- the cushions according to the invention are described in detail in the following figures. The individual embodiments and variants thereof are discussed. The actuators and reinforcements are also discussed. Show it:
- 19 shows a vehicle seat constructed from the foregoing structures.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a first execution group.
- the first embodiment group includes all embodiments in which webs 3 are attached within a gas-tight envelope 2.
- the webs run from an upper side of the casing 2 to an underside. The webs thus prevent the envelope from expanding freely in the vertical direction.
- the chambers 4 formed by the webs can be fluidly connected to one another or form separate compartments.
- the webs cannot run all the way to the edge of a cushion 5, so that the cushion 5 consists of a single air chamber.
- the webs can also be interrupted or contain openings.
- the use of air-permeable materials for the webs 3, in particular Textiles leads to interconnected chambers 4.
- the webs 3 are to form mutually closed chambers 4, they must be arranged in the envelope 2 in such a way that they are connected to the envelope 2 over their entire circumference.
- the webs 3 can be connected to the sheath 2, for example by gluing or welding. Materials which are not very stretchable, for example PU, are preferably used for the webs 3 and the casing 2.
- the cover 2 is covered by a coating 1.
- the webs are partially double-walled. If the gaps in the webs 3 are subjected to a pressure p 2 , p 2 > p ⁇ , they deform and shorten the webs 3. This causes the casing 2 to deform.
- the shape of a pillow 5 with such adaptive webs 3 can therefore be adapted to a certain extent to individual needs.
- the envelope 2 can also be double-walled.
- FIG. 3 largely corresponds to the form described in FIG. 1.
- a substantially horizontal web 3 is attached to the pneumatic structure. It creates chambers in two layers.
- adaptive webs 3, as shown in FIG. 2 can also be used horizontally and / or vertically.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are similar to those of FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the cover 2 and the webs 3 can now be made from any low-stretch material.
- Gas-tight hoses 6 are now inserted into the chambers 4 formed by the casing 2 and the webs 3. If the hoses 6 are pressurized, they fill the chambers and thus stretch the casing 2 and the webs 3.
- the hoses can now be made of any gas-tight material, for example an expandable one.
- the webs 3 or the cover 2 can also be made partially double-walled here.
- a gas-tight hose 6 can then also be inserted in the webs. The same adaptive effect as described above is thus achieved.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 differ from those in FIGS. 4 and 5 in that the sheath 2 and the webs 3 are replaced by pockets 7 with connection points 8.
- Each tube 6 is in its own pocket 7 ellen 8.
- Each hose 6 is arranged in its own pocket 7.
- Configurations with a plurality of tubes 6 are of course also included in a pocket 7 in the inventive concept.
- the pockets 7 are connected to one another at connection points 8. 6 and 7, the connection points are such that they occupy the entire area of the webs 3 present in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the connection points 8 can also be attached only in partial areas of the previously existing webs or at other locations, for example between the cover 1 and the pockets. Sewing, gluing and welding are suitable as connection types.
- connection points 8 can be present over a large area or only at a few points.
- tubes 6 can be inserted between weld seams, so that an adaptive cushion 5 is created.
- this embodiment can also be carried out only in one layer.
- an offset arrangement of the chambers 4 can also be achieved in the previously described embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9. It is part of the inventive idea that the pneumatic structure of a cushion 5 can be composed of a combination of the above-described embodiments.
- embodiments with and without hoses can be combined, in particular that means embodiments of the first embodiment group of FIGS. 1 to 3 with embodiments of the second embodiment group of FIGS. 4 to 9.
- features of one embodiment can be included in another embodiment or Features of the described embodiments can be combined to new ones.
- 10 shows an embodiment in which two layers of chambers 4 are arranged, the upper layer being acted upon by a different, here smaller, pressure than the lower one.
- a seat cushion 5 se the sinking depth into the cushion 5 can be influenced without it having to appear hard on the surface.
- This principle can be generalized without restrictions and transferred to the other embodiments. In principle, it is conceivable and included in the idea of the invention to pressurize each chamber 4 or each hose 6 with its own pressure.
- a functional intermediate layer in the pillows 5, for example between the pneumatic structure and the cover 1.
- Such an intermediate layer can take on various functions.
- a cushion can be attached as an intermediate layer.
- an air-permeable intermediate layer for example in the form of a knitted spacer fabric, below the cover 1.
- Such an intermediate layer makes it possible to ventilate and air-condition a cushion independently of the pneumatic structure.
- an intermediate layer with hygienic functions For example, sweat and odor absorbing agents can be arranged in such an intermediate layer.
- This intermediate layer can also be removable so that it can be easily cleaned or disinfected.
- the cushions 5 are constructed from a pneumatic structure together with a covering 1 surrounding them. As one skilled in the art will readily recognize, a cushion 5 can of course also be formed without the covering 1 from the pneumatic structure alone.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 show top views of, for example, seat cushions 5.
- FIGS. 13 to 18 show pneumatic actuators which serve to move or deform the cushions 5 according to the invention, so that a further adaptation to individual needs Wishes is made possible. All of the embodiments of the pneumatic structure shown in FIGS. 11 to 18 are a limited selection and serve only the Illustration. Of course, any of the pneumatic structures can be combined with any.
- the pneumatic structures shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are intended to clarify that the webs 3 or the tubes 6 not only run in a straight line, but can also take on curved or closed shapes.
- the pneumatic cushions can thus be ergonomically optimized.
- the structure of the pneumatic cushion can already be optimized for the weight load of a seated or lying person.
- the idea of the invention also includes imaginative arrangements of the webs 3; a restriction to webs 3 running parallel or orthogonal to one another is not in the sense of the inventive idea.
- the cushions 5 can be moved as a whole or their shape can be changed, which enables a further type of adaptation to individual wishes or requirements.
- FIG. 13 shows the first actuator from FIG. 13 arranged between a pneumatic structure comprising it. If the bladder 34 is pressurized, as shown in FIG. 15, it deforms and presses the free end of the flexible plate 32 away from the holder 31, bends and tensions it. With this deformation, the pneumatic structure is widened somewhat in the plane of the figure.
- the cover 1 can comprise the pneumatic structure together with the first actuator. Including only the pneumatic structure is also according to the invention.
- a cushion 5 or a cushion 5 can be attached to one side of the actuator only on the elastic plate 32.
- the holder for example, can also at least partially consist of a flexible plate 32. It is also according to the invention to use an essentially rigid plate instead of the flexible plate 32 used in FIG. 14 and to press it against the holder 31 with springs, for example, and to clamp the bladder between it and the holder 31.
- two plates 37 are hinged to one another by means of a hinge 38.
- a plurality of bubbles 34 are preferably arranged between the plates.
- the bubbles 34 are held in place by flags 39. If the bubbles 34 are pressurized, they expand and open the plates at their free ends. Depending on where and how the actuator is arranged, it closes automatically when the bubbles are relieved, or, for example, additional spring elements actively close it. Opening angles of 90 ° and more are possible with the second actuator. It is therefore suitable for changing the position of pillows 5 to one another.
- FIG. 17 and 18 show another type of pneumatic actuators. They consist of a flexible base plate 41 which has a plurality of ribs 42. A plurality of substantially parallel grooves are formed by the ribs 42. A hose 6 is arranged in each groove. The hoses 6 are dimensioned such that they fill the grooves under pressure and press against the ribs 42. With increasing pressure, the tubes 6 push the ribs 42 apart at their free ends, as a result of which the base plate bends. If the hoses are relieved of pressure, the base plate returns to its original shape.
- the embodiment of FIG. 17 can be bent on one side, that of FIG. 18 on two sides, depending on which hoses are pressurized. Cushions 5 attached to these actuators can be bent adaptively, which, for example, solution of a chair back in the lumbar spine area can be used.
- FIG. 19 shows a bucket seat 44 constructed from the pneumatic components described above for a passenger vehicle.
- the bucket seat is assembled from a large number of pneumatic cushions 5.
- the individual pillows 5 are optimized for their function. Some have actuators, others have adaptive webs 3 and still others have both or none of the adaptive extensions.
- a basic structure to which the individual components of the bucket seat are attached is not shown.
- the actuators are also not shown.
- the coatings 1 are also missing so that the pneumatic structure of the individual cushions 5 is visible.
- the seat cushion 45 of the bucket seat 44 is structurally optimized for the load on a seated person. In the area of the buttocks and thighs there are recesses which can be adjusted with double bars.
- a thigh support 47 is pivoted at the front end of the seat cushion 45.
- the thigh support can be pivoted into a preferred position.
- Leg guide cushions are attached to the left and right of the seat cushion 45. They can be placed laterally on the legs using an actuator, for example FIG. 16. This holds and supports a person in the seat, especially when cornering.
- the backrest of the bucket seat 44 is divided into several areas. The lowest area is formed by a lordosis cushion 46.
- the lordosis cushion 46 can be deformed and / or pivoted, for example, with an actuator according to FIG. 17, 18 or 13.
- a back cushion 50 extends essentially over the area of the thoracic spine. Side supports 49 are attached to the side of the back cushion 50. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, they can be moved towards the center of the backrests.
- a shoulder cushion 51 and a headrest 52 form the upper part of the backrest.
- cushions 5 can also be attached to support or guide the lower legs and feet.
- the different embodiments of the cushions 5 can be combined with one another in any way. They can be adapted and optimized for a specific purpose. In the field of passenger transport, in home and sports use, a variety of possible uses open up. The combination of the cushions 5 with actuators allows a further area of use.
- Included in the inventive concept is to connect the pneumatic structures and actuators described above with a suitable line and valve system, so that the various components can be supplied with the correct pressures, or the pressures in the components can be controlled and monitored.
