Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a simple and inexpensive way to create an underlay for the human body that offers high levels of comfort. This is achieved by assigning supplementary consolidated regions to a mattress or an underspringing arrangement, which hardens or stabilizes the material of the mattress or arrangement. These supplementary consolidated regions can be formed from a foam plastic sheet or an elastomer sheet, and can offer a similar level of comfort as a complex and expensive underspringing arrangement. The supplementary consolidated regions can also be connected to supporting elements, which further enhances the comfort and stability of the mattress. Overall, this invention offers a simple and effective solution for creating a comfortable underlay for the human body."

Problems solved by technology

Known underspringing arrangements of this type require a complex construction, making the underlays expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The figures show parts of various underlays for furniture for sleeping, lying or sitting on. The respective underlay is supported by a frame of the furniture, for example a bed frame. The underlay receives a person, who lies on it in the case of a bed or lounger or sits on it in the case of a chair or armchair. To increase the sleeping, lying or sitting comfort, the underlay is intrinsically elastic and / or elastically deformable, in that it at least partially bends.

[0027]FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of an underlay 10, which is formed by a preferably rectangular mattress 11 and a separate, elastically compliant underspringing arrangement 12. The mattress 11 rests with its underside 13 on the underspringing arrangement 12. The mattress 11 shown here is formed in one piece from foam plastic. The mattress 11 may, however, also be made up of more than one part, to be precise of mattress parts lying one behind the other in the longitudinal direction and / or of a number...

Abstract

A simply constructed, inexpensive underlay (10) for which the underspringing arrangement (12) is formed in the simplest case by a plastic sheet (15), which is selectively reinforced by supplementary crosslinking of the plastic of the plastic sheet (15). This crosslinking provides the plastic sheet (15) with supplementarily consolidated, more stable regions (20), which support the mattress (11). If required, the plastic sheet (15) having supplementarily consolidated regions (20) may be assigned spring strips (14). It is also conceivable to integrate the underspringing arrangement (12) in the mattress (11). The underspringing arrangement (12) formed according to the invention can be easily produced, thereby creating a low-cost underlay (10) with good resilient properties.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The invention relates to an underlay for the human body with at least one mattress of foam plastic or with at least one mattress of foam plastic and an underspringing arrangement. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing an underlay for the human body, the underlay being formed by at least one mattress of foam plastic and an underspringing arrangement. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] Underlays of the type referred to here are used in the case of beds and furniture for sitting and lying on. The underlays are intended to offer sleeping, lying and sitting comfort appropriate for the requirements. [0005] In the simplest case, such an underlay comprises a mattress, which rests directly on a framework, for example a bed. Such underlays have minimal sleeping, lying and sitting comfort. High-grade underlays have in addition to the mattress an underspringing arrangement, which offers a resiliently compliant, elastic ...
