Storage device, especially for a body part

Abstract

In a storage device, in particular for a body part, with at least one base support, it is provided that spring elements are arranged next to one another on the base support, wherein each spring element is a three-dimensional body which is formed from a meandering material strand. Such a storage device is particularly suitable for use in damp rooms, as it allows for convenient storage of body parts, especially heads.

Description

The invention relates to a storage device, in particular for a body part, having at least one base carrier.Storage devices of the type described above are used for body parts so that these body parts can rest. The body parts can be arms or legs or also the head.A deposition device mentioned at the beginning can be, for example, a pillow having a base support. Pillows are used to accommodate the head, in which case the head and in particular the neck muscles are to be relaxed.When such trays are used in moist rooms such as sauna or steam baths, these trays are often made of moisture-bearing woods. The base support then carries, for example, a curved portion which is somewhat adapted to the neck and the back of a person lying on the back, for example in the sauna. However, the known depositing devices are not particularly convenient.Storage devices of the aforementioned type are known from EP 2 375 939 B1, CN 2 21 577 400 U and WO 002010080025 A1. A search for online sales platforms with the keywords "sauna cushions" or "sauna cushion / pillow wood" shows sauna cushions which are formed from longitudinally halved round woods over wooden banks of normally wedge-shaped configuration with longitudinal or transverse latency as far as rattan braids and bamboo cushions. These storage devices are more or less ergonomically shaped, and water-insensitive natural materials are also used. The aforementioned publications show storage devices which have supports arranged so as to be movable, partially spring-mounted on a base plate.The object of the invention is to provide a storage device of the type mentioned at the beginning which, in particular for use in moist rooms, enables a comfortable storage of body parts, in particular heads.This object is achieved according to the invention in that spring elements are arranged next to one another on the base carrier, wherein each spring element is a three-dimensional body which is formed from a meander-like material strand.The depositing device according to the invention also consists not only of a base carrier. Rather, the base carrier serves to accommodate spring elements which are arranged on the base carrier in a side-by-side arrangement.According to the invention, it is provided that the spring elements are three-dimensionally constructed, so that they can form a pillow-like depositing device with a certain height for the head. However, it is still provided that the three-dimensional bodies are meander-like, each body consists of a meander-like material strand. Due to this meandering configuration, a mechanical spring effect is provided, which enables a comfortable placement of the head, for example, on the placement device according to the invention.In this case, it can be provided that the base carrier is a surface element with a rectangular configuration. This can be adapted to specific furniture, for example within a sauna. Each spring element can have a rectangular parallelepiped configuration, the individual rectangular parallelepipeds can then be arranged next to one another on the base carrier.The arrangement of the spring elements relative to one another is preferably made to approach one another. The spring elements can be arranged on the base support in rows, these rows being aligned parallel to one another. In this respect, the base carrier can thus be completely covered with spring elements, so that overall a complete headrest is formed.A next development of the invention provides that the spring elements are manufactured from wood. A meander-like material strand made of wood consists only of wood, because of its meander-like course the spring element is almost as soft as a wool pad. Since the base support can also be made of wood, there is advantageously overall a depositing device made of wood, which can be used easily in sauna or steam baths. It is not necessary to wash off the depositing device according to the invention.The wood used is preferably Zirbel wood, Eschen wood or a nut tree wood.For the structural design of the storage device, a development of the invention provides that the meander shape in each spring element is formed by cuts into the spring element at mutually different heights from cut-in devices lying opposite one another. The spring element is thus cut in from mutually opposite directions alternately at different heights, so that the remaining material runs meander-like in continuous S-curves. The cut width can result, for example, in 2 mm in order to form a spring action of the spring element.Preferably, the deposition device is used as a pillow in sauna and steam baths.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing. The following are shown: FIG. 1 : a plan view of a depositing device according to the invention, FIG. 2 : a first side view of the depositing device according to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a further side view of the depositing device in FIG. 1 ; and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV--IV in FIG. 1.The rectangular storage device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a pillow for a sauna which is formed to be rectangular in plan view. The deposition device has a rectangular base carrier 2 which is designed as a planar element. A plurality of spring elements 3 are placed on the base support 2, the spring elements 3 being placed in rows oriented parallel to one another.FIG. 2 shows that the spring elements 3 placed on the base support 2 each have the same overall height. The base carrier 2 comprises the accommodated spring elements 3 in the region of their placement on the base carrier 2.FIG. 3 discloses that the spring elements 3 each have a special structure. They are not cuboid blocks arranged side by side, each spring element 3 consists of a meander-like material strand. Base support 2 and spring elements 3 are made of wood.The sectional illustration in FIG. 4 shows that the base carrier 2 has a circumferential projection which rotates around the spring elements 3 in their placement region. FIG. 4 once again shows the meandering course of the spring elements 3, the meandering course therefore runs over the entire height of the spring elements 3.
