Abstract

The lying/sitting surface (3) has a cover or upholstered jacket having an outer inflatable chamber (15), whose outer surface defines the lying/sitting contour. The chamber has an inner chamber (16) which determines the height of the outer chamber and is isolated from it in a gas-tight manner.

Description

The invention relates to an inflatable, contoured lying or sitting area with support and / or wrapping according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

For the sake of simpler description, only the application is described below described the invention in connection with lying surfaces, although the Invention extends to seats of any kind.

Field of application of the invention is the use of such a lying surface for various sitting and lying tasks. For example, 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. In addition, 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.

It is known to design 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 disadvantages of conventional air mattresses can be seen, for example, in that the head of an air mattress is approximately straight and box-shaped throughout is trained, which leads to unacceptable lying conditions (point load of the side surfaces of the head) comes when, for example, the sleeper from the Supine to lateral position changes.

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. According to the invention there is namely the material the lying surface of an air-impermeable plastic or of a air-impermeable textile, which z. B. coated with a plastic mass can to ensure airtightness.

Such materials are well known as an air mattress. There are both Air mattresses made of pure plastic films as well as air mattresses made of coated Textile material.

With such inflatable lying areas - which belong to the prior art - but there is the major disadvantage that there is no resilience is. That is, a damping element is missing in this air mattress, which one certain additional comfort is guaranteed. Such a thing Damping element should ensure that, for example, with strong impacts the outer shell of this lying surface, this does not penetrate and the contact surface does not touch the lying surface (e.g. the floor or slatted frame).

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.

To achieve the object, the invention is through the technical teaching of Claim 1 marked.

With the given technical teaching, 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.

At the same time, 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.

In another embodiment, 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.

In essence, a lying surface according to the invention consists of a Outer chamber and an inner chamber arranged therein.

In a first embodiment, the outer chamber is designed to be inflatable or can be filled with a gaseous or liquid medium. At this Embodiment it is provided that 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.

In a second embodiment it can be provided that the inner chamber is not designed to be inflatable, and with a constant air volume is filled.

In a third embodiment it can be provided that 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).

In this latter embodiment, 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.

In this application, air would then change in a load. B. from are sucked down into the lower bores of the inner chamber, into which Inner chamber are initiated and with a corresponding load change this air is then removed from the inner chamber through upper holes pressed out. After these holes also penetrate the outer chamber, but sealed from it, this leads to a vertical, continuous ventilation of the lying surface.

It is again pointed out that this ventilation the inner chamber completely separate from the outer chamber, which with a certain, constant air volume is filled.

If such a bed surface such. B. as a neck pillow, as a pillow or is used as a lying surface, then there is an excellent Ventilation effect, because air is sucked in from below with every load change and forced upwards over the inner chamber from the surface of the lying surface is squeezed out.

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.

In all applications it is assumed that this bed surface by one appropriate poster coat is enclosed, so that this cushion coat is ventilated from the inside.

An additional health-promoting effect results from the fact that z. B. in Space between the textile cover and the outer circumference of the lying surface additional reservoirs can be installed in the z. B. Medicinal herbs are filled in or cotton wool or other fragrance stores made with essential oils are soaked.

Returning to the basic idea of the invention, namely that the contour one Lying surface can be adjusted arbitrarily by using a spacing inner chamber used on the inside with the External chamber is connected, this results in a variety of possibilities Contouring.

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.

If 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.

In this way it is e.g. B. possible when used as a neck support pillow, to form a central, concave area of a neck support pillow that extends continues to the outside on both sides in corresponding convex areas. The contour of such an approximately club-shaped neck support pillow can by Inflation of the outer chamber can be changed within wide limits.

The same adaptation to the body contour results in the configuration as a lying surface, because here too - according to the shape of the inner chamber - the entire lying surface can be contoured. In this way, ideal adaptations to the spine and other body surfaces can be made, because according to the pressure in the outer chamber, the inner chamber now swells more or less and supports or relieves the spine in certain, desired areas.
On the one hand there is an optimal adaptation of the lying surface to the body contour by contouring the lying surface itself in the unloaded state of the lying surface and on the other hand there is a further adaptation by the fact that the outer chamber and / or the inner chamber are filled with a gaseous or liquid medium are, which ensure a pressure distribution on the body surfaces lying on it when the lying surface is loaded.

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.

But it will also be a combination of the contouring system in conjunction with the ventilation system claimed as essential to the invention.

The subject matter of the present invention results not only from the Subject of the individual claims, but also from the combination of individual claims among themselves.

All information disclosed in the documents, including the summary and features, in particular the spatial depicted in the drawings Education are claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they are used individually or in Combination are new compared to the prior art.

In the following the invention is based on several ways of execution illustrative drawings explained in more detail. Here go from the drawings and its description further features and advantages of the invention Invention.

Top view of another embodiment of the invention in the form of a lying surface.

In Figures 1 to 3, a pillow 1 is shown, 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.

To improve lying comfort, it can be provided that 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.

In addition, through the segment-shaped longitudinal slots 4 in the support surface these are softer because longitudinal stresses are removed from the bearing surface be and thereby a softer edition is achieved.

Overall, 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.

It is important that the 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.

For this purpose, 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.

There is also an inner shell 29 defining an inner chamber 16 which is completely air-tightly separated from the outer chamber and none at all Has air connection with the outer chamber.

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.

It is important that 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.

This maximum, inflated state is shown in FIG. 4, which shows that the Inner shell 29 is in a maximum, stretched state. Hereby with the outer chamber 15 fully inflated, the entire contour the height 33 (see also Figure 9) determines.

Figures 5 and 6 show - in an arrangement not to scale - the different heights. For the sake of clarity, 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.

However, this makes the contouring function clear, because it depends on the geometric height of the inner shell 29.

For the sake of simplicity, the ventilation of the Include inner chamber, although - as stated in the general part - one separate and sole protection for the contouring function desired and is claimed.

From this - if a ventilation system is not used - it becomes clear that it is not it is necessary that the inner chamber 16 has corresponding bores 17 and 18 is connected to the outside atmosphere. If such bores 17, 18 are missing, then can the inner chamber 16 with a separate air inlet nozzle with a appropriate air volume can be filled. It can also be provided that e.g. only the upper bores 17 or the lower bores 18 are arranged are. Instead of such bores, slot openings 40 can also be introduced. These are preferred in the shape of a treble clef. It is about so punched through the outer and inner chamber. advantage Such slot openings 40 is that they are when inflating the chamber open and thereby a longitudinal shrinkage of the pillow when inflating prevent. Another advantage is that such slot openings 40 a Take over the valve flap function during ventilation.

The inner chamber 16 can also be completely emptied, however, and only one Contain rest of air.

Instead of arranging an injection nozzle for filling the inner chamber but also with a constant, constant air volume be filled.

It is also possible not to close the inner chamber with a gaseous medium fill, but with a liquid medium.

For the sake of simplicity, the ventilation of the inner chamber will now be based on the figures 4 to 6 described in more detail.

If such bores 17, 18 are present, then there will be one Ventilation through the inner chamber and thus through the whole Lying surface through, as shown in Figure 4.

When changing the load condition of the lying surface according to Figure 4 is therefore according to the bellows principle, air through the lower bore 18 in the direction of arrow 21 sucked in, and sucked into the inner chamber 16. If this is now by a appropriate shock load, then air is released from the inner chamber 16 pushed out in the direction of arrow 22 through the upper bore 17 and enters the Air intermediate chamber 14, which on the outer surface of the outer shell 30 and Inner surface of the cover 9 is formed. With a load impact from above The upper bores 17 therefore open and leave them in the inner chamber Exhale the air upwards, while at the same time the lower ones Seal holes 18. The reference 9 can z. B. by means of a Zipper 13 to be open and also removable.

From this air gap 14, the air in the Arrow directions 25 displaced radially outwards.

It can also be provided that in the textile cover (cover 9) 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.

Due to the forced ventilation of this filling chamber 19 in the direction of arrow 24 thus a targeted outflow of fragrances into the upholstery jacket 2, these air currents being preferred by the towards the Neck support pillow 3-pointing slits 4 towards the body of the sleeper stream.

Figures 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.

If 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. In 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.

In this way, 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.

A load on the outer shell 30 from above (perpendicular to the plane of the drawing 7 in the downward direction) leads to the compression of the Outer shell and also for compression of the inner shell 29. So now the Inner shell 29 in any case goes back to its starting position, as shown in Figure 5 and is not vertically warped or folded, the serve Retaining tabs 37, or the attachment of the outer shell 30 to the inner shell 29 via the double weld seams 28 that this always remains dimensionally stable and the contouring the lying surface always returns to its original state.

As a result, the bellows function of the inner shell 29 in conjunction with the Holes 17, 18 always maintained.

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.

Here again it can be seen that 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.

If the outer chamber 15 is inflated accordingly, then - according to Figure 6 - the inner shell 29 taken and also extends to the Height 33 a, as shown in Figure 9. This results in a Support cushion contour 10, 10 a, 10 b by the air filling factor of the outer chamber depends.

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.

In the entire outer shell 35, the are separated piece by piece 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

However, it can be seen that 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. In this way, the contour of the outer shell 35 can be relatively arbitrary are formed and shaped over the length and width 38, 39.

It follows from this that 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.

In another embodiment, it can be provided that the inner sleeves 36 are connected to one another in an air-tight manner and separated from the outer chamber 15 are. For this embodiment, it can be provided that the inner sleeves 36 flowed through by a tempered, liquid or a gaseous medium are.

In this embodiment, it is important that due to the supply of a tempered liquid through all liquid-tight interconnected Inner sleeves 36 there is the possibility of the body lying thereon accordingly to temper. It can be cooled or warmed depending on the requirements. At the same time, the contour of the entire lying surface 34 can be determined solely by the Inflation state of the outer shell 35 can be changed, creating a excellent orthopedic support for the body lying on it is guaranteed.

It goes without saying that 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.

In the embodiment in which 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.
