Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elastic cushions, and more particularly to an elastic module storage frame, an elastic module storage device, an elastic cushion, furniture, and a method for using the elastic cushion. [Background technology]
[0002] Furniture such as beds and sofa beds are essential to people's lives. Most modern beds and sofa beds are equipped with elastic cushions. Elastic cushions have a certain degree of elasticity, and can provide a certain degree of elastic support when a person sleeps on a bed or sofa bed, providing a certain degree of comfort compared to hard cushions.
[0003] Current elastic cushions are typically one-piece cushions consisting of a bottom layer, a spring layer, a sponge stack, and side sealing members, and are non-detachable and closed as a whole. That is, the spring layer is installed on the bottom layer, the sponge stack is installed on the spring layer, and the side sealing members are connected between the sponge stack and the bottom layer, thereby forming a closed space. However, because such elastic cushions usually have a flat top surface, an additional headrest is required to support the head when a user lies down on the elastic cushion to rest. Furthermore, such elastic cushions are not only expensive, but also unstable and uncomfortable when actually used, inconvenient to transport, and take up a lot of space when stored. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an elastic cushion that addresses at least some of the problems present in the prior art, has good head and torso support, improves the comfort of the elastic cushion, and at the same time, is convenient to transport and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an elastic module storage frame, the elastic module storage frame including a bottom plate and a base, the bottom plate including upper and lower surfaces that are arranged opposite each other along the height direction of the elastic module storage frame, the base being arranged on the upper surface and extending in the height direction, wherein the elastic module storage frame is changeable from a first usage state to a second usage state, wherein in the first usage state, the base is configured so that the lowest elastic module of a plurality of elastic modules that are stacked in a nested structure can be placed and attached on the base so that the stacked elastic modules are stored on the elastic module storage frame, and in the second usage state, the elastic module storage frame is set on the elastic modules so that the base faces the plurality of elastic modules, allowing the elastic module storage frame to be used as a headrest unit, wherein the lower surface faces upward and serves as a head support surface of the headrest unit.
[0006] In this technical solution, the elastic module storage frame includes a bottom plate and a stand, and in a first use state, the stand is configured so that the elastic module located at the bottom of the multiple elastic modules stacked in a nested structure in order (e.g., with the stand facing upward) can be placed on the stand and attached for storage, and in a second use state, the elastic module storage frame is set on the elastic module, and the lower surface faces upward to form the head support surface of the headrest unit. Therefore, when the elastic module storage frame is assembled into the elastic cushion, the multiple elastic modules of the elastic cushion are removed from the holders of each elastic module storage frame and assembled onto the elastic support layer. Then, each elastic module storage frame is changed to the second use state, so that the holders of each elastic module storage frame face downward and are supported on their corresponding elastic modules. Thus, the elastic module storage frame becomes a headrest unit. At this time, the lower surface of the base plate faces upward and becomes the head support surface of the headrest unit. Thus, the headrest unit is higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the cushion layer of the elastic cushion is laid on the elastic support layer and covers each headrest unit. Thus, the headrest unit can be formed on the cushion layer only by each headrest unit. This allows the elastic cushion to provide good support for the head and torso. When a user lies on the balancing cushion, the head is supported by the headrest unit, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion, the cushion layer is removed and folded, and each elastic module storage frame is changed to the first use state, and each elastic module is removed and stacked in a nested structure in order and stored on each corresponding stand, which makes it convenient to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.
[0007] In one embodiment, the top of the stand includes a joining structure that can be joined to the top of the elastic module, thereby allowing the stand to be supported on the elastic module.
[0008] In one embodiment, the joining structure includes a recess formed on the top of the base, the shape of the recess matching the shape of the top of the elastic module, so that in the second use state, the recess is securely placed and attached to the top of the elastic module.
[0009] In one embodiment, the base is designed to be height adjustable according to the user's requirements for headrest height.
[0010] In one embodiment, the stand is a frame structure.
[0011] In one embodiment, the stand includes a top body, a bottom body installed on the bottom plate, and a plurality of support rods connected between the top body and the bottom body, the plurality of support rods being spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the stand, thereby maintaining a predetermined distance between the upper edge and the bottom plate.
[0012] In one embodiment, each of the support rods includes at least two rod parts connected in series and adjustable in length between them.
[0013] In one embodiment, the top body is configured with a recess that recesses inward and extends toward the bottom body, so that the top body can be mounted on a tubular body at the top of the elastic module, and the wall of the tubular body is formed with a plurality of through openings spaced apart along the circumferential direction, each extending from the side wall of the tubular body to the bottom wall of the tubular body, with one end of each support rod connected to the upper rim of a corresponding one of the through openings.
[0014] In one embodiment, an opening is formed in the bottom plate, penetrating the bottom plate, and the opening is divided into multiple hole portions by connecting rods extending radially, among which the stand is installed at the hole edge of the opening.
[0015] In one embodiment, the base plate further includes handles removably mounted on opposite sides of the base plate.
[0016] In one embodiment, the base plate includes opposing longitudinal sides, and on each of the longitudinal sides, opposite ends of the handle are removably connected to the same longitudinal side and are adjacent opposite ends of the longitudinal side.
[0017] In one embodiment, the handles are configured to bind the folded cushion layer of the elastic cushion between the handles.
[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an elastic module storage device, which includes an elastic module storage frame described in any one of the multiple first aspects, wherein multiple bottom plates are removably connected together to form a connected body, and multiple stands are located on the same side of the connected body.
[0019] In this way, the multiple bottom plates are removably connected together to form a connected body of the elastic module storage device, and the multiple stands are located on the same side of the connected body, so that in the second use state, as described above, the connected body is turned upward so that its underside becomes the head support surface. Therefore, when the elastic module storage device is used to assemble the elastic cushion, the elastic modules of the elastic cushion are removed from the holders of the elastic module storage frames and the elastic support layer is assembled. Then, one or more elastic module storage devices are changed to the second use state, so that the holders of each elastic module storage device face downward and are supported on their corresponding elastic modules. In this way, the elastic module storage device becomes a headrest unit. In this way, the elastic module storage device is higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the cushion layer of the elastic cushion is placed on the elastic support layer and covers the elastic module storage device. In this way, the headrest portion can be formed on the cushion layer using only the elastic module storage device. This provides the elastic cushion with excellent support for the head and torso. When a user lies on the balancing cushion, the head is supported by the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion, the cushion layer is removed and folded, and the elastic module storage device is changed to the first use state, and each elastic module is removed and stacked in a nested structure in order and stored on the corresponding stand, which makes it convenient to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.

[0025] In this technical solution, the elastic cushion includes a headrest body, and the headrest body can be supported by some of the elastic modules in the elastic support layer and is higher than the remaining elastic modules, while the cushion layer can be fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules, and a headrest portion is formed on the cushion layer by the headrest body, so that the elastic cushion has good support function for the head and torso, and when a user lies on the balance cushion, the head is supported by the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion, the cushion layer can be removed and folded, and then each elastic module can be folded (e.g., stacked in a nested structure), which makes it convenient to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.

In the unfolded state, all of the elastic modules are assembled with the elastic support layer and supported by the corresponding elastic modules, with the stands facing downward. The base plates are facing upward, with the headrest unit units being arranged to form the headrest body, and the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules. The cushion layer is fixedly attached to the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules.
[0028] In one embodiment, the headrest body is an elastic module storage device described in any one of the above-mentioned second points, and the elastic cushion has a stored state and an unfolded state. In the stored state, the corresponding elastic modules of each of the elastic module storage frames are stacked in a nested structure, with the lowest elastic module placed on the stand, thereby storing the stacked elastic modules in the corresponding elastic module storage frame.

The connecting body is facing upward, so that the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules, and the cushion layer is fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules.
[0029] In one embodiment, the elastic cushion includes a plurality of elastic module cells, each of which includes a substrate and a plurality of the elastic modules mounted on the substrate, and wherein the plurality of substrates can be removably joined together along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion so that the plurality of the elastic module cells assemble the elastic support layer.
[0030] In one embodiment, the outer edge of the cushioning layer and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer are connected by a perimeter fastening structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0047] The elastic cushion and furniture of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described here, and those skilled in the art may imagine other forms of realizing the present invention based on the preferred embodiments, and such other forms are also included in the scope of the present invention.
[0048] 1 shows an elastic module storage device 16, but in one embodiment, the elastic module storage device 16 in FIG. 1 may be composed of six elastic module storage frames 1 provided by the present invention. For example, the bottom plates 2 of the six elastic module storage frames 1 are integrally molded into a single member. Therefore, the elastic module storage device 16 in FIG. 1 can be disassembled into six mutually independent elastic module storage frames 1, and each elastic module storage frame 1 includes one bottom plate 2 and one stand 5 thereon. However, it should be understood that the number of stands 5 on one bottom plate 2 of the elastic module storage frame 1 provided by the present invention is not limited to one. In other words, one stand 5 may be installed on one bottom plate 2, or multiple stands 5 (e.g., two or three) may be installed at intervals.
[0049] For this reason, in the first point, referring to Figures 1 to 5, Figure 8, Figure 16 and Figure 17, the elastic module storage frame 1 provided by the present invention includes a bottom plate 2 and a stand 5, of which the bottom plate 2 includes an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4 that are oppositely installed along the height direction of the elastic module storage frame 1, and the stand 5 is installed on the upper surface and extends in the height direction. For example, the stand 5 may be an independent component connected to the upper surface 4, or may be integrally molded with the bottom plate 2 to form an integral member. The elastic module storage frame 1 can be changed from a first use state (Figure 1) to a second use state (Figure 2) (for example, by inverting it, or by raising or lowering the height of the stand 5, etc.). In the first use state, the stand 5: The elastic module 6 at the bottom of the plurality of elastic modules 6 stacked in a nested structure can be placed on the stand 5 and attached so that the stacked elastic modules 6 can be stored on the elastic module storage frame 1. In the second use state, the elastic module storage frame 1 is set on the elastic modules 6 so that the stand 5 faces the plurality of elastic modules 6, for example, the stand 5 faces downward so as to allow the elastic modules 6 to be supported thereon, thereby allowing the elastic module storage frame 1 to be used as a headrest unit 7, and the lower surface 4 faces upward to form the head support surface of the headrest unit 7.
[0050] The elastic module storage frame 1 includes a bottom plate 2 and a stand 5, and can be changed, for example, inverted, between a first use state and a second use state. In the first use state, the stand 5 is configured so that the elastic module 6 located at the bottom of a plurality of elastic modules 6 stacked in a nested structure can be placed on and attached to the stand for storage. In the second use state, the elastic module storage frame 1 is set on the elastic modules 6, and the lower surface 4 faces upward to form the head support surface of the headrest unit 7. Therefore, when the elastic module storage frame 1 is assembled into the elastic cushion 14, the multiple elastic modules 6 of the elastic cushion 14 are removed from the bases 5 of each elastic module storage frame 1, and the elastic support layer 19 is assembled. Then, each elastic module storage frame 1 is changed to a second use state, for example, by inverting it, so that the bases 5 of each elastic module storage frame 1 are supported on the corresponding elastic modules 6 (for example, facing downward). In this way, the elastic module storage frame 1 becomes a headrest unit 7, and at this time, the lower surface 4 of the bottom plate 2 faces upward to become the head support surface of the headrest unit 7. In this way, The headrest units 7 are higher than the remaining elastic modules 6 on the elastic support layer 19, and then the cushion layer 15 of the elastic cushion 14 is laid on the elastic support layer 19 to cover each headrest unit 7. In this way, a protruding headrest portion is formed on the cushion layer 15 only by each headrest unit 7 (e.g., by arranging each headrest unit 7 in order). This allows the elastic cushion 14 to provide good support for the head and torso. When a user lies on the balancing cushion 14, the head is supported by the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion 14, the cushion layer 15 is removed and folded, and each elastic module storage frame 1 is changed to the first use state, for example, inverted, and each elastic module 6 is removed and stacked in a nested structure and stored on the corresponding stand 5. This makes it easy to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion 14 when stored.
[0051] In one embodiment of the elastic module storage frame 1, in the second use state, the stand 5 may be directly placed on and supported by the elastic module 6, and the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 of the elastic cushion 14 may be connected to clamp and position the elastic module storage frame 1 on the elastic module 6. In another embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the top of the stand 5 includes a joining structure that can be joined to the top of the elastic module 6, allowing the stand 5 to be stably and reliably supported on the elastic module 6 by the joining structure. In this way, in the second use state, the joining structure to the top of the elastic module 6 further improves the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage frame 1 being supported on the elastic module 6.
[0052] The connecting structure may have multiple forms, as long as it can connect to the top of the elastic module 6. For example, in one embodiment, the connecting structure may be a hook-and-loop fastener, which may be attached to the top surface of the elastic module 6. Furthermore, a hook-and-loop fastener may also be provided on the top surface of the elastic module 6, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage frame 1 being supported on the elastic module 6 through the adhesion of both hook-and-loop fasteners. In another embodiment, the connecting structure may be a protrusion, for example, a circular protrusion, which may fit into a recess in the top of the elastic module 6, which may also improve the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage frame 1 being supported on the elastic module 6. In another embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 , the connecting structure includes a recess 8 formed on the top (e.g., the top surface) of the support base 5, and the shape of the recess 8 matches the shape of the top of the elastic module 6, so that the recess 8 is securely attached to the top of the elastic module 6 in the second use state. In this way, the recess 8 is located directly inside the base 5, reducing the volume of the base 5; at the same time, the recess 8 is joined directly using the contour shape of the top of the elastic module 6, so that the top of the elastic module 6 is located directly inside the recess 8 of the base 5, further improving the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage frame 1 being supported on the elastic module 6.
[0053] In one embodiment, the base 5 may have a fixed height, so that the headrest can be adapted to the user's needs for the installation height of the head support. In another embodiment, the height of the base 5 is adjustable, that is, the base 5 is designed so that the height can be adjusted according to the user's needs for the headrest height. In this way, the same user can adjust the height of the headrest according to the needs of different stages of use, and different users can also adjust the height of the headrest according to their different needs, thereby improving comfort. When the height of the headrest needs to be adjusted, the user simply detaches the cushion layer 15 from the elastic support layer 19 in the headrest, then adjusts the height of the base 5 to the desired height, and reattaches the cushion layer 15 to the elastic support layer 19.
[0054] The height of the stand 5 can be adjusted in various ways. For example, in one way, the stand 5 can include multiple (e.g., two or three) sleeves that are nested one inside the other and can be extended or retracted to a desired position. In this way, the height of the stand 5 can be adjusted by extending or retracting the sleeves to a desired position. In another way, the height of the stand 5 can be adjusted by a support rod 10 as described below (described in detail later).
[0055] In one embodiment, the stand 5 may be a solid body, for example, a truncated cone with a solid center. In another embodiment, the stand 5 is a frame structure, and the frame structure makes the stand 5 a non-solid body, that is, a cavity is formed inside the stand 5, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the elastic module storage frame 1. Furthermore, the support structure formed by the connection of the frame structures reduces the weight while improving the overall strength of the elastic module storage frame 1.
[0056] Furthermore, the frame structure may have various structural forms. For example, in one embodiment, the stand 5 includes a plurality of L-shaped support rods, which are inverted and set on the bottom plate 2; that is, the ends of the short sides of the L-shaped support rods are connected together and located at a central position, while the long sides of the L-shaped support rods are spaced apart circumferentially and connected to the bottom plate 2, so that the L-shaped support rods are arranged radially. In this way, an internal cavity is enclosed between the L-shaped support rods and the bottom plate 2, and the stand 5 is formed into a frame structure. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 , the stand 5 includes a top body 9, a bottom body 27 mounted on the bottom plate 2, and a plurality of support rods 10 connected between the top body 9 and the bottom body, the support rods 10 being spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the stand 5, thereby maintaining a predetermined distance between the upper edge 9 and the bottom plate 2; thus, the top body 9, the bottom body 27, and the plurality of support rods 10 form a frame structure. In another embodiment, the stand 5 includes a top body 9 and a plurality of support rods 10 spaced apart along the circumferential direction, one end of each of the support rods 10 being connected to the bottom plate 2, while the other end of each of the support rods 10 being connected to the top body 9, thereby maintaining a predetermined distance between the top body 9 and the bottom plate 2. Thus, an internal cavity is formed between the top body 9, the plurality of support rods 10, and the bottom plate 2, and the stand 5 forms a frame structure.
[0057] In one embodiment, the length of each of the plurality of support rods 10 is constant, so that the headrest can be adapted to the user's needs for the installation height of the head support. In another embodiment, each support rod 10 includes at least two rod parts that are connected in sequence and whose extension length between them can be adjusted, so that the height of the stand 5 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension of the rod parts, as described above. In this way, the same user can adjust the height of the headrest according to the needs of different stages of use, and different users can also adjust the height of the headrest according to their different needs, thereby improving comfort.
[0058] In one embodiment, the top surface of the top body 9 is formed as a flat surface. Alternatively, in another embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 , the top body 9 has a recess 8 that is recessed inward and extends toward the bottom body, allowing the top body 9 to be mounted on the cylindrical top of the elastic module 6. In this way, in the second use state, the recess 8 is used to mount the top of the elastic module 6. In this way, the recess 8 is directly located inside the base 5, reducing the volume of the base 5 and at the same time directly utilizing the contour shape of the top of the elastic module 6, so that the top of the elastic module 6 is directly located within the recess 8 of the base 5, further improving the stability and reliability of the elastic module holder 1 being supported on the elastic module 6. The wall surface of the cylindrical body is formed with a plurality of through openings 28 spaced apart along the circumferential direction, each of which extends from the side wall 29 of the cylindrical body to the bottom wall 30 of the cylindrical body, with one end of each support rod 10 connected to the upper edge 31 of a corresponding through opening, i.e., in the radial direction, one end of each support rod 10 is located within its corresponding through opening, and thus one end of the support rod 10 can support the upper edge of the through opening, significantly improving the strength of the top body 9 and improving the stability and reliability of the headrest section.
[0059] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , the bottom plate 2 has an aperture 11 formed therethrough. That is, the bottom plate 2 includes an aperture 11 penetrating the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4. The aperture 11 is divided into a plurality of aperture sections by radially extending connecting rods 12, and the support base 5 is installed at the edge of the aperture 11. That is, the radially extending connecting rods 12 are installed in the aperture 11, and the support base 5 is installed around the edge of the aperture 11. In this way, the aperture 11 reduces the weight of the bottom plate 2, and the connecting rods 12 improve the support performance of the headrest. The connecting rods 12 may be one or more. For example, the connecting rods 12 may be arranged crosswise to form a network structure, or may be arranged parallel to each other at intervals, or one end of the connecting rods 12 may be connected to the center of the aperture 11 and extend radially.
[0060] 6, 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the bottom plate 2 further includes handles 13 removably installed on opposite sides of the bottom plate. In this way, the set of elastic modules (i.e., a plurality of elastic modules stacked one inside the other) is placed on the stand 5 and then attached, and the handles 13 on both sides are fastened together to fasten the set of elastic modules stored on the elastic module storage frame 1, and at the same time, the handles 13 can be held for easy transport.
[0061] Also, in one embodiment, one handle 13 may be installed at each end of the bottom plate 2, and both ends of the one handle 13 may be connected to opposite sides of the bottom plate 2, respectively. In this way, the handles 13 at both ends of the bottom plate 2 can be bound together. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, the bottom plate 2 has opposite longitudinal sides, and on each longitudinal side, both ends of the handle 13 are respectively detachably connected to the same longitudinal side and close to both ends of the longitudinal side, that is, on each longitudinal side of the bottom plate 2, both ends of the handle 13 are connected to the same side of the bottom plate 2 but are spaced apart. In this way, the handles 13 on both sides of the bottom plate 2 can be bound together.
[0062] In one embodiment, the handles 13 on both sides are configured so that the cushion layer 15 in the folded state of the elastic cushion 14 can be bound between the handles 13. For example, when the elastic cushion needs to be stored, the cushion layer 15 is folded (for example, folded or rolled up) to put it in a folded state, and the folded cushion layer 15 is then placed on top of the stacked elastic modules and positioned between the handles 13. In this way, the handles 13 can bind the cushion layer 15 and the stacked elastic modules together, making it convenient for storage and transportation.
[0063] The handle 13 may also be a non-elastic band, such as a canvas band, or an elastic band, such as a rubber band.
[0064] In the second point, referring to Figures 1 to 5, 8, 16 and 17, the present invention provides an elastic module storage device 16, which includes an elastic module storage frame 1 described in any one of the above first points, in which a plurality of bottom plates 2 are removably connected together to form a connecting body 17, and a plurality of stands 5 are located on the same side of the connecting body 17.
[0065] In this way, the multiple bottom plates 2 are removably connected together to form the connecting body 17 of the elastic module storage device 16, and the multiple stands 5 are located on the same side of the connecting body 17, so that in the second use state, as described above, the connecting body 17 is turned upward so that its underside becomes the head support surface. Therefore, when the elastic module storage device 16 assembles the elastic cushion 14, the multiple elastic modules 6 of the elastic cushion 14 are removed from the holders 5 of the respective elastic module storage frames, and the elastic support layer 19 is assembled. Then, one or more elastic module storage devices 16 are changed into a second use state, for example, by inverting them, so that the holders of each elastic module storage device are supported on the corresponding elastic modules (for example, facing downward). In this way, by turning the connecting body 17 upward, its underside becomes the head support surface, and the elastic module storage device becomes higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the cushion layer of the elastic cushion is laid on the elastic support layer and covers the elastic module storage device. In this way, a headrest portion can be formed on the cushion layer using only the elastic module storage device. This allows the elastic cushion to have good support for the head and torso. When a user lies on the balancing cushion, the head is supported by the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion, the cushion layer is removed and folded, and the elastic module storage device is changed to the first use state, for example, turned upside down, and each elastic module is removed and stacked in a nested structure and stored on the corresponding stand, which makes it convenient to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.
[0066] In one embodiment, as described above, the multiple base plates 2 are each independent components and can be joined together to form a joint 17, whereby the multiple stands 5 are located on the same side of the joint 17.
[0067] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of bottom plates 2 are integrally molded such that the connecting members 17 are molded into the integral member. Thus, the integral member includes a plurality of stands 5. For example, in one embodiment, the integral member may be a strip plate, and a plurality of stands 5 are disposed on one side of the strip plate at intervals along the length of the strip plate to form a single row of stands 5. Of course, if necessary, a plurality of rows of stands 5 may be disposed on the strip plate.
[0068] 6, 7 and 8, in one embodiment, at least two spaced-apart bottom plates 2 are provided with handles 13 on opposite sides thereof, and when the connecting body 17 is molded into an integral member, the handles 13 are provided on opposite sides thereof. In this way, multiple sets of elastic modules (i.e., multiple elastic modules stacked in a nested structure) are mounted on the corresponding stands 5 and then attached, and the handles 13 on both sides are fastened together to fasten the sets of elastic modules, and at the same time, the handles 13 can be held for convenient transportation.
[0069] Also, in one embodiment, each end of the connecting body 17 (or one unitary member) may be provided with one handle 13, and both ends of the handle 13 may be connected to opposite sides of the bottom plate 2, respectively. In this way, the handles 13 at both ends can be bound together. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 6 , the connecting body 17 has opposite longitudinal sides, and on each longitudinal side of the connecting body 17, both ends of the handle 13 are removably connected to the same longitudinal side while maintaining a distance therebetween. That is, on each longitudinal side of the connecting body 17, both ends of the handle 13 are connected to the same side of the connecting body 17 while maintaining a distance therebetween. In this way, the handles 13 on both sides of the bottom plate 2 can be bound together.
[0070] In one embodiment, the handles 13 on both sides of the connecting member 17 (or integral member) are configured to hold the cushion layer 15 of the elastic cushion 14 in a folded state between the handles 13. For example, when the elastic cushion needs to be stored, the cushion layer 15 is folded (e.g., folded or rolled up) to put it in a folded state, and the folded cushion layer 15 is then placed on top of the stacked elastic modules and positioned between the handles 13. In this way, the handles 13 can hold the cushion layer 15 and the stacked elastic modules together, making storage and transportation convenient. The handles 13 may also be non-elastic bands, such as canvas bands. Alternatively, the handles 13 may be elastic bands, such as rubber bands.
[0071] Third, the present invention provides an elastic cushion 14. Referring to Figures 11 to 13, 16 and 17, the elastic cushion 14 includes a cushion layer 15, a headrest body 18 and a plurality of elastic modules 6, among which the plurality of elastic modules 6 can be joined together along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion to form an elastic support layer 19. The headrest body 18 is supported by some of the elastic modules 6 and is therefore higher than the remaining elastic modules 6, i.e., the height of the top surface of the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6. The cushion layer 15 can be fixedly attached to the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, and the headrest body 18 forms a headrest portion of the cushion layer 15.
[0072] The elastic cushion 14 includes a headrest body 18, which is supported by some of the elastic modules in the elastic support layer and is higher than the remaining elastic modules, while the cushion layer 15 is fixedly attached to the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. In this way, the headrest body 18 forms a headrest portion in the cushion layer 15, and the elastic cushion 14 has excellent support for the head and torso. When a user lies on the balance cushion 14, the head is supported by the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion 14, the cushion layer 15 can be removed and folded, and then each elastic module 6 can be folded (by forming a nested structure and stacking them one after the other). This makes it easy to store and transport the elastic cushion 14 and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion 14 when stored.
[0073] In one embodiment, the elastic cushion 14 includes a storage state, in which the headrest body 18 is configured so that the bottommost elastic module 6 of the plurality of elastic modules 6 stacked in a nested structure can be placed on and attached to the headrest body 18, so that the stacked elastic modules 6 are stored on the headrest body 18. That is, the plurality of elastic modules 6 are stacked in a nested structure, and the bottommost elastic module 6 is placed on and attached to the headrest body 18. This facilitates storage of the plurality of elastic modules 6 and also effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion 14 when stored.
[0074] Furthermore, in the elastic cushion 14, the headrest body 18 may have multiple forms. For example, in a first form of the headrest body 18, the headrest body 18 includes a positioning portion that can be inserted into the gap between adjacent elastic modules 6. In this manner, by inserting the positioning portion into the gap between adjacent elastic modules 6, the headrest body 18 is placed on the elastic support layer 19 and becomes higher than the remaining elastic modules 6.
[0075] In the second form of the headrest body 18, the headrest body 18 is an elastic module storage frame 1 according to any one of the above-mentioned first points, and each elastic module storage frame 1 is associated with a plurality of elastic modules 6. The elastic cushion 14 has a stored state and an unfolded state. In the stored state, the corresponding plurality of elastic modules 6 of each elastic module storage frame 1 are stacked in a nested structure, with the lowest elastic module 6 placed on the stand 5, thereby storing the stacked plurality of elastic modules 6 in a nested structure in the corresponding elastic module storage frame 1. In the unfolded state, all of the elastic modules 6 are assembled with the elastic support layer 19, and are arranged in order and supported by the corresponding elastic modules 6 by the plurality of stands 5 facing downward. The plurality of base plates 2 are faced upward, so that the plurality of headrest portion units 7 are arranged to form the headrest body 18, and the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6. The cushion layer 15 is fixedly attached to the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. In this way, after a plurality of elastic modules 6 are connected along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion to form an elastic support layer 19, a plurality of elastic module storage frames 1 can be supported on the corresponding elastic modules 6 as headrest bodies 18 according to the desired width and length of the headrest portion, and after the cushion layer 15 is laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, a headrest portion having the desired width and length is formed on the cushion layer 15, and the headrest portion can be flexibly formed as needed.
[0076] In a third form of the headrest body 18, referring to Figure 11, the headrest body 18 is an elastic module storage device 16 of any one of the above-mentioned second points, wherein each elastic module storage frame 1 corresponds to a plurality of elastic modules 6, and the elastic cushion 14 has a stored state and an unfolded state. In the stored state, the corresponding plurality of elastic modules 6 of each elastic module storage frame 1 are stacked in a nested structure, with the lowest elastic module 6 placed on the stand 5, thereby storing the stacked plurality of elastic modules 6 in a nested structure in the corresponding elastic module storage frame 1. In the unfolded state, all of the elastic modules 6 are assembled with an elastic support layer 19, and the plurality of stands 5 are supported by the corresponding elastic modules 6 facing downward. The connecting body 17 faces upward, so that the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6, and the cushion layer 15 is fixedly laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. In this way, after a plurality of elastic modules 6 are connected together along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion to form an elastic support layer 19, a desired number of bottom plates 2 of elastic module storage frames 1 can be connected together to form an assembly 17 according to the desired width and length of the headrest portion. In this way, the desired number of elastic module storage frames 1 are formed into a single integral body by the assembly 17, and this integral body can be supported on the corresponding elastic modules 6 as the headrest body 18. After the cushion layer 15 is laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, the cushion layer 15 forms a headrest portion having the desired width and length, and the headrest portion can be flexibly formed as needed. In the third form, because a plurality of bottom plates 2 are connected together, each of the multiple elastic module storage frames 1 acts to limit the pulling position, significantly improving the stability of the headrest body 18.
[0077] In one embodiment, the elastic cushion 14 may include a bottom layer and a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart slide rails formed on the bottom layer, with the plurality of elastic modules 6 sliding between adjacent slide rails to form the elastic support layer 19. In another embodiment, referring to Figures 9, 10, and 11, the elastic cushion 14 includes a plurality of elastic module cells 20, each of which includes a substrate 21 and a plurality of elastic modules 6 mounted on the substrate 21, where the plurality of substrates 21 can be removably connected together along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion so that the plurality of elastic module cells 20 form the elastic support layer 19. In this way, assembling the plurality of elastic module cells 20 can improve the efficiency of assembling the elastic support layer 19 and facilitate the rapid storage of the plurality of elastic module cells 20. Furthermore, the substrate 21 is not limited to the shape shown in Figure 9, and for example, multiple elastic modules 6 may be formed into a single row of elastic module sets, and two or three rows of elastic module sets may be installed on the substrate 21.
[0078] The substrates 21 may be removably joined together in the lateral direction using various joining methods, including, but not limited to, the following several joining methods. For example, in some joining methods, adjacent substrates 21 may be attached together using hook-and-loop fasteners. Alternatively, in some joining methods, adjacent substrates 21 may be joined together using a sliding block and a sliding groove. For example, a sliding block may be formed on one of the adjacent substrates 21 and a corresponding sliding groove may be formed on the other, and the adjacent substrates 21 may be joined together by sliding cooperation between the sliding block and the sliding groove. Alternatively, in some joining methods, adjacent substrates 21 may be joined together using an engaging connection structure. For example, the engaging connection structure may include an engaging piece and an engaging groove. One of the adjacent substrates 21 may be formed with an engaging piece and a corresponding engaging groove may be formed on the other, and the adjacent substrates 21 may be joined together by engaging and connecting the engaging piece into the engaging groove. Therefore, any joining form may be adopted as long as it is possible to detachably join adjacent substrates 21 together. Therefore, the present invention does not limit the specific joining form.
[0079] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, the substrate 21 is formed with mounting openings, and each mounting opening is correspondingly provided with one elastic module 6. Thus, referring to FIG. 7, multiple elastic modules 6 in one elastic module cell 20 are inserted into the mounting openings of another elastic module cell 20 through the mounting openings, so that multiple elastic module cells 20 are stacked in a nested structure, further improving storage convenience and reducing space occupation.
[0080] Also, in one embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, the outer edge of the cushion layer 15 and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 are connected by an edge fastening structure 22, and in this way, the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 are fastened and connected together by the edge fastening structure 22, thereby improving the stability of the headrest portion.
[0081] 13, in one embodiment, to improve the stability of each elastic module 6, the lower surface of the cushion layer 15 is provided with a receiving ring 23 at the edge thereof, which extends toward the elastic module 6, and the receiving ring 23 is connected to the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 by an edge fastening structure 22. In this way, after being pulled by the edge fastening structure 22, the receiving ring 23 can effectively restrict the elastic modules 6 from moving laterally at the edge of the elastic support layer 19, improving the stability and comfort of the entire elastic cushion.
[0082] In addition, in one embodiment, the edge fastening structure 22 may be a side edge sealing cloth, and the upper and lower edges of the side edge sealing cloth may be connected to the outer edge of the cushion layer 15 (or the receiving ring 23) and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the base plate 21), respectively, by a slider fastener structure.
[0083] 13, 16 and 17, in one embodiment, the edge fastening structure 22 is used to form the elastic cushion 14 as an elastic cushion without side end sealing members. That is, the edge fastening structure 22 connects the outer edge of the cushion layer 15 (or the receiving ring 23) to the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the base plate 21), and the sides of the elastic support layer 19 are exposed to the outside. That is, the sides of the elastic support layer 19 can be observed from the outside. This effectively improves the breathability of the elastic cushion 14 and prevents mold caused by moisture inside the elastic cushion 14, which is more advantageous for areas with high humidity.
[0084] Furthermore, the edge fastening structure 22 may have a plurality of configurations. For example, in one configuration of the edge fastening structure 22, the edge fastening structure 22 may be a mesh body, and the upper edge of the mesh body is connected to the outer edge of the cushion layer 15 (or the receiving ring 23), and the lower edge of the mesh body is connected to the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the substrate 21). Furthermore, in another type of edge fastening structure 22, for example, see Figures 13, 16 and 17, the edge fastening structure 22 includes a plurality of releasably connected connecting strings 24. Note that the connection configuration of the connecting strings 24 is not limited to the connection configuration shown in the drawings. In addition to the connection forms shown in the drawings, the connecting string 24 may have other connection forms. For example, in one connection form, a plurality of connecting buckles spaced apart in the circumferential direction are formed on the outer edge of the cushion layer 15 (or the receiving ring 23), and a plurality of fixing buckles spaced apart in the circumferential direction are formed on the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the base plate 21), the plurality of connecting buckles and the plurality of fixing buckles are alternately arranged, and the connecting string 24 extends up and down to be wound around each connecting buckle and fixing buckle in turn, thereby connecting the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 together. Furthermore, for example, in another connection form, a plurality of connecting strings 24 spaced apart in the circumferential direction are formed on one of the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19, and a corresponding plurality of fixing buckles are formed on the other of the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19, and in this way, each connecting string 24 is hooked onto its corresponding fixing buckle, thereby connecting the cushion layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 together.
[0085] Also, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 14 and 15, the cushion layer 15 includes a folded state, in which the folded cushion layer 15 is bound between the handles 13 of the headrest body 18, which makes it convenient to store and preserve the elastic cushion.
[0086] In one embodiment, the cushion layer 15 includes a plurality of removably connected cushion blocks 25, and when folding is required, the plurality of cushion blocks 25 can be removed and stacked in order. In another embodiment, referring to Fig. 15, the cushion layer 15 is a foldable or rollable material layer, and thus can be folded by folding or rolling up the cushion layer 15.
[0087] 13, for folding or rolling up the cushion layer 15, the cushion layer 15 includes a plurality of cushion blocks 25 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the elastic cushion, and adjacent cushion blocks 25 are connected by a thin flexible hinge portion. In this way, the flexible hinge portion makes it easier to fold the cushion layer 15.
[0088] In addition, the flexible hinge portion may have multiple forms. For example, the flexible hinge portion may be a connecting fabric, or the flexible hinge portion may include a recess 26 formed on the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the cushion layer 15 and extending along the width direction of the elastic cushion. In this way, the recess 26 makes it easy to fold or roll up the cushion layer 15 and also easy to connect the cushion blocks 25 together.
[0089] The elastic module 6 may also be a spring module, a rubber module, or a gel module.
[0090] The elastic cushion 14 can be used for various purposes, such as an outdoor cushion and an indoor cushion, for example, an elastic mattress, a sofa cushion, a chair cushion, and a bench cushion.
[0091] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides furniture, which includes any one of the elastic cushions 14 described in the third aspect above. As described above, the elastic cushions 14 allow the furniture to have good stability and comfort while reducing costs, thereby improving overall quality.
[0092] In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides a method for using an elastic cushion, which includes the following steps: when unfolding the elastic cushion, assembling an elastic support layer by connecting a plurality of elastic modules together along the lateral direction of the elastic cushion; changing (e.g., inverting) a headrest body from a first usage state to a second usage state, and supporting a base of the headrest body on some of the elastic modules (e.g., supporting the base facing downward on some of the elastic modules), so that the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules; laying a cushion layer on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules; and forming a headrest portion in the cushion layer by the headrest body; and when folding the elastic cushion, removing the cushion layer and the headrest body, and changing (e.g., inverting) the headrest body to the first usage state, so that the base of the headrest body faces upward, stacking the plurality of elastic modules in a nested structure, and placing the lowest elastic module on the stand, so that the plurality of elastic modules stacked in a nested structure in a nested structure are stored in the headrest body.
[0093] In this technical solution, the headrest portion is formed on the cushion layer by the headrest body, so that the elastic cushion has good support function for the head and torso, and when the user lies on the balancing cushion, the head is supported by the headrest portion, which effectively improves the comfort of the elastic cushion. Furthermore, when it is necessary to store the elastic cushion, the cushion layer can be removed and folded, and each elastic module can be stacked in a nested structure on the headrest body, which makes it easy to store and transport the elastic cushion and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic cushion when stored.
[0094] In one embodiment, a method of using the elastic cushion includes folding or rolling up the detached cushion layer when folding the elastic cushion, and binding the folded or rolled cushion layer between the handles of the headrest body, so that the handles can bind the cushion layer and the stacked elastic modules together, making it convenient for storage and transportation.
[0095] The scope of protection of the present invention is determined solely by the 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 the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be combined to create new embodiments, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
