Problems solved by technology

Another disadvantage of these foam springs is that they can experience lateral (sideways) misalignment or collapse when an axial load is applied
Another disadvantage is its small height-to-diameter ratio, which also limits the packing density of the spring bed

Abstract

A hollow tubular foam spring (10) having a plurality of radially extending holes (20) extending from an outer surface (30) towards a central hollow core (40). The tubular foam spring (10) is arrangedwith wall thickness and diameter to height ratios such that center bulging is achieved under compressive loads. In an embodiment, such as in a mattress, seat, cushion or pillow, springs (10) are arranged in an array whereby some impinge upon one another due to central bulging.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application 62 / 590,084, entitled "Hollow Tubular Central Expansion Foam Spring," filed November 22, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to generally cylindrical foam springs for use in cushions, pillows, mattresses, seats and the like. Background technique [0003] Various hollow core foam springs are known for use in cushions, pillows, seats, mattresses, and the like. Generally tubular foam springs having a plurality of slits or holes extending inwardly from an outer surface are also known. [0004] An example of such a hollow cylindrical foam spring can be found in US Patent 4,194,255 to Pope and US Published Application US 2009 / 0079119A1 to Poppe. In this example, inwardly extending generally transversely uniform holes are shown, wherein the holes form transversely extending diamond shapes. One disadvantage of such structures is that e...
