Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elastic mattresses, and particularly to elastic mattresses.
Background Art
[0002] Furniture such as beds and sofa beds is indispensable in people's lives. Currently, most beds and sofa beds are provided with elastic cushions. The elastic cushion has a certain degree of elasticity and can provide a certain degree of elastic support when a person lies on the bed or sofa bed, and has a certain degree of comfort compared to a hard cushion.
[0003] The current elastic cushion is usually an integrated cushion composed of a bottom layer, a spring layer, a sponge stacking layer, and a side-end encapsulating member. It is non-removable and a closed overall type. That is, the spring layer is installed on the bottom layer, the sponge stacking layer is installed on the spring layer, and the side-end encapsulating member is connected between the sponge stacking layer and the bottom layer, thereby forming a closed space. However, when such an elastic cushion is actually used, the cost is high, it is inconvenient for transportation, and the space used for storage is large.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of the elastic mattress, facilitate the transportation of the elastic mattress, reduce the occupied storage space, and improve the air permeability of the elastic mattress while ensuring the comfort of the elastic mattress for at least some of the problems existing in the above prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elastic mattress, the elastic mattress including a base layer, a plurality of elastic modules, and a cushion layer, wherein the base layer includes a first surface and a second surface facing each other in the height direction of the elastic mattress, the plurality of elastic modules are removably placed on the second surface and can be in direct contact with the floor, the cushion layer is placed on the first surface, and a side-end member is not installed around the elastic mattress, thereby forming an elastic mattress without a side-end encapsulation member.
[0006] In this technical solution, the plurality of elastic modules are removably placed on the second surface of the base layer and can be in direct contact with the floor. Further, since no side-end member is installed around the elastic mattress, an elastic mattress without a side-end encapsulation member is formed. In this way, the number of components of the elastic mattress can be effectively reduced, the structure of the elastic mattress can be simplified, the cost of the elastic mattress can be reduced, and the air permeability of the elastic mattress can be improved. Also, since no side-end encapsulation member is installed, the internal structure of the elastic mattress has good pass-through performance and good air permeability, and is suitable for outdoor vacation use. At the same time, since the cushion layer is installed on the first surface of the base layer, it can be removed from the first surface, which can effectively contribute to the transportation of the elastic mattress and the reduction of the storage space occupied. Also, the elastic mattress has good comfort as well.
[0007] In some embodiments, the cushion layer and the base layer are connected by a connection structure disposed therebetween.
[0008] Furthermore, the connection structure is a magic tape installed on the first surface of the base layer and / or the lower surface of the cushion layer.
[0009] In some embodiments, the cushion layer is a foldable or rollable cushion layer.
[0010] Furthermore, the cushion layer includes a plurality of elastic cushion blocks arranged in the length direction of the elastic mattress, and adjacent elastic cushion blocks are connected by a flexible portion.
[0011] Even further, the flexible portion includes a concave groove formed on the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the cushion layer and extending along the width direction of the elastic mattress.
[0012] In some embodiments, the base layer is a flexible base layer, and the plurality of elastic modules can be stacked and fitted after being removed from the second surface.
[0013] In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning guide rails are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the elastic mattress on the second surface of the base layer. Each of the positioning guide rails extends along the width direction of the elastic mattress, and an installation area for accommodating the elastic modules is formed between adjacent positioning guide rails. Among them, in the width direction of the elastic mattress, each of the elastic modules can slide from either end of the adjacent positioning guide rail to the adjacent positioning guide rail and can slide along the positioning guide rail to reach the position, so that a plurality of the elastic modules are configured to be installed in each of the installation areas.
[0014] Furthermore, a receiving edge extending at a predetermined height in the height direction of the elastic mattress is installed at the outer edge of the second surface. The plurality of positioning guide rails are located between the receiving edges, and the receiving edge holds the position of the elastic module in the width direction of the elastic mattress.
[0015] Furthermore, the receiving edge is a rectangular receiving edge extending along the outer edge of the second surface. Among them, the rectangular receiving edge is a flexible body and has a predetermined distance from the outer peripheral surface of the base layer.
[0016] Of course, the configurations or features described in the above single embodiment can be used independently or in combination in other embodiments.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention
[0019] Next, with reference to the drawings, the elastic mattress of the present invention will be described in detail. What is described here is a preferred embodiment according to the present invention. Those skilled in the art can envision other forms that can implement the present invention based on the said preferred embodiment, and such other forms are also included within the scope of the present invention.
[0020] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the elastic mattress provided by the present invention includes a base layer 3, a plurality of elastic modules 4, and a cushion layer 5. Among them, the base layer 3 includes a first surface 1 and a second surface 2 that face each other in the height direction of the elastic mattress (for example, the up and down direction of the drawing interface in FIG. 2). The plurality of elastic modules 4 are removably placed on the second surface 2 and can be in direct contact with the floor. The cushion layer 5 is placed on the first surface 1. Among them, since no side end member is installed around the elastic mattress, an elastic mattress without a side end encapsulating member is formed. In this way, when the elastic mattress is actually used, by turning the second surface 2 of the base layer 3 downward, one end of the plurality of elastic modules 4 can contact the floor. Of course, the number of elastic modules 4 may be set according to the actual usage needs, and the user can sleep on the cushion layer 5.
[0021] In this technical solution, the plurality of elastic modules 4 are removably placed on the second surface 2 of the base layer 3 and can be in direct contact with the floor. Since no side end members are installed around the elastic mattress, an elastic mattress without side end encapsulation members is formed. Thus, it is possible to avoid installing side end encapsulation members around the base layer 3. That is, the elastic mattress is an elastic mattress without side end encapsulation members. This effectively reduces the number of parts of the elastic mattress, simplifies the structure of the elastic mattress, reduces the cost of the elastic mattress, and at the same time improves the air permeability of the elastic mattress. Since no side end encapsulation members are installed, the internal structure of the elastic mattress has good permeability and air permeability, and is suitable for outdoor vacation use. At the same time, since the cushion layer 5 is installed on the first surface 1 of the base layer 3, it can be removed from the first surface 1, which can effectively contribute to reducing the transportation of the elastic mattress and the storage space occupied. Also, the elastic mattress similarly has good comfort.
[0022] Also, in some embodiments of the elastic mattress, the cushion layer 5 is laid on the first surface 1 of the base layer 3, and no connection structure needs to be installed between them. Thus, during storage, the cushion layer 5 can be removed and stored independently, which can effectively contribute to reducing the transportation of the elastic mattress and the storage space occupied. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the cushion layer 5 and the base layer 3 are connected by a connection structure disposed between them. The connection structure can improve the stability of the installation of the cushion layer 5 on the base layer 3 and improve the comfort of use. In particular, when the plurality of elastic modules contact an uneven floor, the integrity and comfort of the elastic mattress can be further improved, and a certain amount of shift of the cushion layer 5 relative to the base layer 3 caused by the user rocking on the cushion layer 5 can be avoided.
[0023] In addition, it is necessary to explain that the connection structure between the cushion layer 5 and the base layer 3 may be of multiple types. For example, in one type of connection structure, the connection structure is a snap structure including a male fitting and a female fitting that fit together. For example, the female fitting of the snap structure may be formed on the cushion layer 5, and the male fitting of the snap structure may be formed on the base layer 3. In this way, the cushion layer 5 can be securely and stably connected onto the base layer 3 by the snap fitting of the female fitting and the male fitting. Also, for example, in another type of connection structure, referring to FIG. 3, the connection structure is a magic tape 6 installed on the first surface 1 of the base layer 3 and / or on the lower surface of the cushion layer 5. For example, the magic tape 6 is installed at multiple locations on the first surface 1 of the base layer 3, and the magic tape 6 is also installed at multiple corresponding locations on the lower surface of the cushion layer 5. In this way, the cushion layer 5 can be securely and stably connected onto the base layer 3 by the cooperation of the two magic tapes 6. Alternatively, the magic tape 6 is installed at multiple locations on the first surface 1 of the base layer 3. In this way, the lower surface of the cushion layer 5 can be directly adhered to the multiple magic tapes 6, and the cushion layer 5 can be securely and stably connected onto the base layer 3.
[0024] In addition, in the elastic mattress, the cushion layer 5 may include multiple types. For example, the cushion layer 5 may be a hard cushion layer. For convenience of storage, the hard cushion layer may include multiple cushion layer blocks. Between the multiple cushion layer blocks, they may be connected to each other by snaps or adhesive engagement or other connection structures. Alternatively, the cushion layer 5 may be a foldable or rollable cushion layer. For example, the cushion layer 5 may be a flexible cushion layer. In this way, the flexible cushion layer can be folded or rolled up. Also, for example, the cushion layer 5 may be a foldable or rollable elastic cushion layer. The elastic cushion layer can cooperate with multiple elastic modules to improve the elasticity and comfort of the elastic mattress, and can be further compressed when folded or rolled up to reduce the space occupation. The cushion layer 5 may be a sponge cushion or a gel cushion.
[0025] Also, for easy storage of the cushion layer 5, in some embodiments, the cushion layer 5 includes multiple elastic cushion blocks 7 arranged in the length direction of the elastic mattress. Between adjacent elastic cushion blocks 7, they are connected by flexible parts, thereby allowing adjacent elastic cushion blocks to be stacked or wound around. In this way, when storing, the multiple elastic cushion blocks 7 can be folded and stored or rolled up. When in use, since the multiple elastic cushion blocks 7 are already connected by flexible connection parts, it is only necessary to unfold the multiple elastic cushion blocks 7, and there is no need to connect each elastic cushion block 8 one by one. For example, in some embodiments, the multiple elastic cushion blocks 7 may be sponge cushion blocks or gel cushion blocks.
[0026] In addition, the flexible part may include multiple types. For example, in one type of the flexible part, the flexible part is a connecting cloth. For example, the single-piece cloth cover includes an accommodation space with an interval, and the connecting cloth (interval part) between the accommodation space is regarded as the flexible part, and each of the elastic cushion blocks 7 may be encapsulated in each accommodation space. Alternatively, in another type of the flexible part, the flexible part is formed by a part of the cushion layer 5. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the flexible part is formed on the upper surface 8 and / or the lower surface of the cushion layer 5 and includes concave grooves 9 extending along the width direction of the elastic mattress. FIGS. 1 and 2 show that the concave grooves 9 are formed on the upper surface 8 of the cushion layer 5. That is, the concave grooves 9 partition the cushion layer 5 into a plurality of elastic cushion blocks 7, and due to the concave grooves 9, the plurality of elastic cushion blocks 7 can be folded and stored or easily wound up and stored.
[0027] In addition, the base layer 3 may be a rigid base layer. Alternatively, the base layer 3 is a flexible base layer, and the plurality of elastic modules 4 can be stacked and fitted after being removed from the second surface 2. In this way, in the storage state, since the plurality of elastic modules 4 can be stacked and fitted to each other, the occupied space can be significantly reduced and it is easy to transport. In addition, the flexible base layer can allow the plurality of elastic modules 4 to move up and down more smoothly according to the bed, thereby improving the setting stability of the elastic mattress.
[0028] In addition, the plurality of elastic modules 4 may be installed on the second surface 2 in a plurality of forms. For example, in one form, an adhesive layer is installed at one end of the elastic module 4, and the adhesive layer can be adhered to the second surface 2. Alternatively, in another form, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of positioning guide rails 10 are installed on the second surface 2 of the base layer 3 at intervals in the length direction of the elastic mattress. Each of the positioning guide rails 10 extends along the width direction of the elastic mattress, and an installation area 11 for accommodating the elastic module is formed between adjacent positioning guide rails 10. Among them, in the width direction of the elastic mattress, each of the elastic modules 4 forms a sliding fit with any end of the adjacent positioning guide rail 10 and can slide to the adjacent positioning guide rail 10 and can slide along the positioning guide rail 10 to reach the position, so that a plurality of elastic modules 4 are configured to be installed in each installation area 11. In this way, when assembling, the required number of elastic modules 4 can be slid into each installation area 11 and connected, so that the required number of elastic modules 4 can be stably and reliably connected to the second surface 2. When storing, each elastic module 4 can be slid out of each installation area 11. For example, the removed elastic modules 4 can be stacked and fitted in order.
[0029] In addition, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the overall stability of all the elastic modules 4, referring to FIG. 4, a receiving edge 12 extending at a predetermined height in the height direction of the elastic mattress is installed on the outer edge of the second surface 2. The plurality of positioning guide rails 10 are located between the receiving edges 12, and the receiving edge 12 holds the position of the elastic module 4 in the width direction of the elastic mattress. In this way, the overall stability of all the elastic modules 4 can be significantly improved by the reception of the receiving edge 12.
[0030] Also, in order to further improve the stability of the receiving edge 12, in some embodiments, the receiving edge 12 is a rectangular receiving edge extending along the outer edge of the second surface 2, wherein the rectangular receiving edge is a flexible body and has a predetermined distance from the outer peripheral surface of the base layer 3. In this way, due to the tensile and position-limiting effects of each of the peripheral side walls of the rectangular receiving edge, the rectangular receiving edge is stably held in a vertical state, and the overall position of all the elastic modules 4 can be restricted stably and reliably. The tensile and position-limiting effects of each, such as the rectangular receiving edge, are particularly effective for the flexible receiving edge. Since a predetermined distance is maintained between the rectangular receiving edge and the outer peripheral surface of the base layer 3, as long as the flexible receiving edge is pulled manually to install and remove the plurality of elastic modules 4, the flexible receiving edge is easily held in a vertical state. Therefore, not only is it convenient to store the base layer 3, but when installing the elastic modules 4, the elastic modules 4 can be slid into each mounting area 11 only by pushing the flexible receiving edge outward.
[0031] In addition, the elastic module 4 may be a spring module or a rubber column module.
[0032] When the elastic mattress is used as a temporary mattress when a customer stays in the wild campus, student dormitory, office, or home, its advantages of low cost, convenient transportation and assembly, and small storage occupation space can be more clearly expressed.
[0033] For example, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, when in use, first, the elastic modules 4 that are stacked and fitted together are removed, and then, by sliding it between each positioning guide rail 10 on the second surface 2 of the base layer 3, the required number of elastic modules 4 will be arranged within each mounting area 11, and then, as shown in FIG. 5, all the elastic modules 4 are reversed so as to contact the floor, and then, as shown in FIG. 6, the cushion layer is connected to the first surface 1 of the base layer 3 by means of magic tape 6. In this way, as shown in FIG. 1, the elastic mattress can be conveniently and quickly assembled.
[0034] The protection scope of the present invention is determined only by the scope of the patent claims. Based on the teachings of the present invention, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that alternative structures of the structures disclosed in the present invention can be realized as alternatives, and that combining the embodiments disclosed in the present invention to create new embodiments are also included within the scope of the appended claims.
