Definitions
- the invention relates to chamber division for air beds. Per Person are preferably three of equal size, in length air chambers strung together.
- the different chambers can be filled to different degrees and thus the personal Adjust lying comfort and sleeping position individually.
- the different Filling is achieved by a pump or blower, which feeds various hoses via valves.
- the hoses are with one chamber or, via switches in parallel, with several Chambers connected.
- One pump or blower feeds several per person, preferably 3 different air chambers. This is about different Valves in the pump or in the blower reached. Feed the valves one or more turnouts several air chambers at the same time.
- the Draining is achieved by replacing the pump or Fan operation in addition to the valve opening to the air chamber Drain valve opens, preferably in the pump or in the blower.
- the same pump or blower can have a number of valves that it also enables the total number of necessary air chambers to use for 2 people.
- FIG. 1 shows the cross section with 3 using the left mattress separate air chambers (4,5,6). Chamber 1 (4) and 3 (6) are in this Case connected in parallel with a switch (3).
- the pump (1) or in this case the blower is equipped with 4 outlet valves (2) equipped and shown with a power cord.
- Fig. 1 shows on the basis the right mattress the supervision of the mattress cover (7) or Exterior of the air bed. All air chambers for 2 people with or Without a bordering foam frame, you can also use a continuous Double bed mattress cover can be placed.
- the invention enables different filling in the air bed.
- a desired central zone reinforcement (5) can be achieved.
- the individual air chambers are arranged next to one another, preferably cross and are with each other with or without attachment a mattress cover (7) held together. Between mattress covers (7) and air chambers (4,5,6), can be an additional enclosing Foam frame.
- the present invention enables individual sections can be filled differently in the air bed.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Kammeraufteilung für Luftbetten. Pro Person werden vorzugsweise drei gleichgrosse, in der Länge aneinandergereihte Luftkammern verwendet. Die verschiedenen Kammern lassen sich verschieden stark füllen und dadurch dem persönlichen Liegekomfort und der Schlaflage individuell anpassen. Die unterschiedliche Füllung wird durch eine Pumpe bzw. ein Gebläse erreicht, welches über Ventile verschiedene Schläuche speist. Die Schläuche sind mit einer Kammer oder, über Weichen paralell, mit mehreren Kammern verbunden.The invention relates to chamber division for air beds. Per Person are preferably three of equal size, in length air chambers strung together. The different chambers can be filled to different degrees and thus the personal Adjust lying comfort and sleeping position individually. The different Filling is achieved by a pump or blower, which feeds various hoses via valves. The hoses are with one chamber or, via switches in parallel, with several Chambers connected.
Eine Pumpe bzw. ein Gebläse speist pro Person mehrere, vorzugsweise 3 verschiedene Luftkammern. Dies wird über verschiedene Ventile in der Pumpe bzw. in dem Gebläse erreicht. Die Ventile speisen eine oder über Weichen mehrere Luftkammern gleichzeitig. Das Ablassen wird erreicht, indem man anstelle des Pumpen- bzw. des Gebläsebetriebes zusätzlich zur Ventilöffnung zur Luftkammer ein Ablassventil öffnet, vorzugsweise in der Pumpe bzw. in dem Gebläse. Dieselbe Pumpe bzw. Gebläse kann eine Anzahl Ventile aufweisen, die es ermöglichen gleichzeitig die gesamte Anzahl nötiger Luftkammern für 2 Personen zu bedienen.One pump or blower feeds several per person, preferably 3 different air chambers. This is about different Valves in the pump or in the blower reached. Feed the valves one or more turnouts several air chambers at the same time. The Draining is achieved by replacing the pump or Fan operation in addition to the valve opening to the air chamber Drain valve opens, preferably in the pump or in the blower. The same pump or blower can have a number of valves that it also enables the total number of necessary air chambers to use for 2 people.
Fig. 1 zeigt anhand der linken Matratze den Querschnitt mit 3 separaten Luftkammern (4,5,6). Kammer 1 (4) und 3 (6) sind in diesem Fall mit einer Weiche (3) paralell geschaltet. Die Pumpe (1) bzw. das Gebläse ist in diesem Fall mit 4 Ausgangsventilen (2) ausgestattet und mit einem Netzkabel abgebildet. Fig. 1 zeigt anhand der rechten Matratze die Aufsicht des Matratzenbezuges (7) bzw. das Aeussere des Luftbettes. Alle Luftkammern für 2 Personen mit oder ohne einfassende Schaumrahmen können auch in einem durchgehenden Doppelbett-Matratzenbezug platziert werden.1 shows the cross section with 3 using the left mattress separate air chambers (4,5,6). Chamber 1 (4) and 3 (6) are in this Case connected in parallel with a switch (3). The pump (1) or in this case the blower is equipped with 4 outlet valves (2) equipped and shown with a power cord. Fig. 1 shows on the basis the right mattress the supervision of the mattress cover (7) or Exterior of the air bed. All air chambers for 2 people with or Without a bordering foam frame, you can also use a continuous Double bed mattress cover can be placed.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht das unterschiedliche Füllen im Luftbett. Insbesondere eine erwünschte Mittelzonenverstärkung (5) kann erreicht werden. Nicht die gesammte Liegefläche muss als Kompromiss den gleichen Druck aufweisen, sondern es können einzelne Luftkammern (4,5,6) im Druck und somit in der Festigkeit verändert werden.The invention enables different filling in the air bed. In particular, a desired central zone reinforcement (5) can can be achieved. Not the entire lying area has to be a compromise have the same pressure, but individual air chambers (4,5,6) can be changed in pressure and thus in strength.
Die einzelnen Luftkammern sind aneinander angeordnet, vorzugsweise quer und werden mit oder ohne Befestigung untereinander durch einen Matratzenbezug (7) zusammengehalten. Zwischen Matratzenbezug (7) und Luft-Kammern (4,5,6), kann sich ein zusätzlicher einfassender Schaumrahmen befinden.The individual air chambers are arranged next to one another, preferably cross and are with each other with or without attachment a mattress cover (7) held together. Between mattress covers (7) and air chambers (4,5,6), can be an additional enclosing Foam frame.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht es, dass einzelne Abschnitte im Luftbett unterschiedlich gefüllt werden können.The present invention enables individual sections can be filled differently in the air bed.
