BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] In order for the examining committee members and reviewers to further recognize and understand the technical means and operation process of the present invention, embodiments are given here and will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0012] First, referring to FIGS. 1-1 and FIGS. 1-2, these are embodiments of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100. The column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 shown in FIGS. 1-1 and FIGS. 1-2 can be used in various scenes such as cars, homes, medical, and leisure by injecting air. The column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 includes an outer cover 10, a covered space 20, at least one first divider 30, an air column 40, and an air supply and exhaust valve 50.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1-1 and FIGS. 1-2, the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 is composed of a soft and durable material, and is three-dimensionally sealed to surround and form the covered space 20. The outer cover 10 has a first cover surface 11 and a second cover surface 12 that faces the first cover surface 11 and whose peripheries are joined to each other. The shape and size of the outer cover 10 are not particularly limited, but in actual applications, the outer cover 10 and the covered space 20 formed by surrounding it are relatively widely used as a quadrilateral.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1-1 and 1-2, the covered space 20 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 is a hollow region surrounded by the outer cover 10. As the material of the outer cover 10, a tough, breathable, or comfortable-touch material is selected and installed to make the outer cover 10 less likely to be damaged and to allow air and moisture in the covered space 20 to easily circulate and be exchanged with the outside through the outer cover 10.

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1-1, 1-2, 2, and 3, the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 is mainly formed by the three-dimensional and tightly joined first cover surface 11 and second cover surface 12, and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 jointly cover and form the covered space 20.

[0016] One fastener 60 can be installed at the joint of the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 so that the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 can be sorted, cleaned, or maintained. The fastener 60 can be a single fastener or a double fastener, and can also be a single-opening fastener or a double-opening fastener.

[0017] Next, referring to FIGS. 1-1, 1-2, and 3, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 includes at least one first divider 30. The first divider 30 is installed between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 inside the outer cover 10, and both ends of the first divider 30 are in close contact with the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 respectively. Each first divider 30 divides the covered space 20 surrounded by the outer cover 10 into adjacent compartments 21 that are adjacent and communicate with each other at both ends.

[0018] If there is one first divider 30, the covering space 20 is divided into two adjacent compartments 21 that are next to each other and have mutual communication at both ends. If there are two first dividers 30, the covering space 20 is divided into three compartments 21 that are next to each other and have mutual communication at both ends. If there are three first dividers 30, the covering space 20 is divided into four compartments 21 that are next to each other and have mutual communication at both ends. The rest proceeds by analogy.

[0019] Regarding the installation method of the first dividers 30, it is sufficient that different first dividers 30 do not come into contact with each other. In a preferred embodiment, two or more of the above-mentioned first dividers 30 are installed in parallel. In another preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned two or more of the above-mentioned first dividers 30 are not only installed in parallel but also at equal intervals, that is, the distance between adjacent first dividers 30 is all equal, so that the size of each compartment 21 is also all equal.

[0020] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2, if the outer cover 10 is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped or a long polygon, the first divider 30 can be positioned parallel to the long side of the outer cover 10 or parallel to the short side of the outer cover 10 to accommodate various different application needs.

[0021] As shown in Figure 4, the first divider 30 can be joined between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 in a sawtooth shape, and the resulting compartment 21 can be formed as a triangular compartment 21 region.

[0022] The aforementioned first divider 30 is joined between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12, and regardless of whether it is serrated or whether the first dividers 30 are in contact with each other, the tight joining of each first divider 30 to the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 can be done by high-frequency method, sewing method, or adhesive method.

[0023] Referring again to Figures 1-1, 1-2 and 3, the air columns 40 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 are installed to pass through each compartment 21 in a removable or replaceable manner, and at least one end 41 of the air columns 40 has an openable or closable intake / exhaust valve 50.

[0024] Thus, the air column 40 is installed through each compartment 21, which is divided and formed by the first divider 30 within the outer cover 10. When in use, air is supplied from the intake / exhaust valve 50 at the end 41 of the air column 40, creating a comfortable, breathable, and stable column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100. When the user wishes to store it, they can simply exhaust the air from the intake / exhaust valve 50.

[0025] If the intake / exhaust valve 50 is installed only at the end 41 of the air column 40, then when the fastener 60 of the outer cover 10 is opened, air can be supplied to or exhausted from the air column 40. In other embodiments, the intake / exhaust valve 50 can be installed through the outer cover 10 and the air column 40, allowing air to be supplied to or exhausted from the air column 40 without opening the fastener 60.

[0026] To prevent the air column 40 from falling off or shifting out of place when opening the outer cover 10, causing inconvenience, at least one end 41 of the air column 40 can be connected to the outer cover 10 in the form of a snap, belt, or hook-and-loop fastener, but is not limited to these.

[0027] Next, referring to Figures 6-1 and 6-2, this is an embodiment of a column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200, which includes an outer cover 10, a covering space 20, at least one second divider 210, a plurality of first dividers 30, and at least two air columns 40.

[0028] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 is the same as the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 described above, and is made of a soft and durable material, forming a three-dimensional seal that surrounds the covered space 20. The outer cover 10 has a first cover surface 11 and a second cover surface 12 that faces the first cover surface 11 and whose peripheries are joined to each other, and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 jointly cover the covered space 20.

[0029] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 further includes at least one second divider 210, which is bonded and installed inside the outer cover 10 and is in close contact with the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12. The second divider 210 also divides the covering space 20 into at least two covering regions 220 that are not in communication with each other.

[0030] In other words, depending on the application needs, if there is one second divider 210, the covering space 20 is divided into two covering regions 220 that do not communicate with each other; if there are two second dividers 210, the covering space 20 is divided into three covering regions 220 that do not communicate with each other, and so on. An important feature of this embodiment is that the different covering regions 220 are independent of each other and do not communicate with each other.

[0031] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 is installed by joining it to each covering area 220 inside the outer cover 10, with the upper and lower ends of each first divider 30 in close contact with the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12, respectively, and each includes a plurality of first dividers 30 that divide each covering area 220 into a plurality of adjacent compartments 21 whose ends are in communication with each other.

[0032] As shown in Figure 6-1, any first divider 30 can be installed parallel to or approximately parallel to the second divider 210.

[0033] As shown in Figure 6-2, any first divider 30 can be installed perpendicular to the second divider 210, or at an angle parallel to or nearly parallel to the second divider 210.

[0034] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 includes at least two air columns 40, with one air column 40 installed within any covering area 220 divided and formed by the second divider 210, and the air column 40 detachably passes through each compartment 21 within the covering area 220, which is divided and formed by the first divider 30.

[0035] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, at least one end 41 of any air column 40 has an openable or closable intake / exhaust valve 50, and when using or storing the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200, the intake / exhaust valve 50 can be used to supply or exhaust air to each air column 40.

[0036] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 has the important feature that the different covering areas 220 are independent of each other and do not communicate with one another. This allows for a simple, feasible, and speedy method of achieving the excellent effect of preventing independent bed pads from interfering with each other. In other words, the different covering areas 220, which are separated and formed by the second divider 210, do not communicate with each other and each has its own air column 40. Therefore, even if vibration or shaking occurs in one of the covering areas 220, it is not transmitted to the other covering areas 220, greatly increasing the comfort of use of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 and broadening its range of applications.

[0037] The side cover surface 13 of the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 may have at least one additional fastener 60 to facilitate installation, tidying, cleaning, or maintenance of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200. The fastener 60 to be installed may be a single fastener or a double fastener, and may be a single-opening fastener or a double-opening fastener.

[0038] The first divider 30 within any covering area 220 of the aforementioned column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 can be tightly joined to the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 in a sawtooth pattern, and the compartment 21 divided and formed by the first divider 30 is formed as a triangular compartment 21 area.

[0039] Any air column 40 of the aforementioned column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 or column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 can form a rigid and sturdy columnar body by supplying air, or a nearly flat, foldable, and easily storable sealed member by exhausting air. The outer cover 10 is made of a breathable, comfortable, soft, and durable material.

[0040] In particular, as shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11, linear protrusions 42 can be installed on the inner wall of any air column 40 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 or the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200.

[0041] The installation of the linear protrusions 42 provides a progressive effect specific to this embodiment, allowing the user to perform the entire process of supplying or exhausting air from the air column 40 without hindrance, and preventing the air column 40 from becoming partially flattened due to interruptions during exhaust, which could cause it to get caught in the first divider 30 and prevent smooth exhaust.

[0042] In the embodiment, the linear protrusions 42 are installed on the inner wall of the air column 40 and extend from one end to the other. The size of the linear protrusions 42 can be selected so that the thickness of the linear protrusions 42 is approximately 3 mm ± 30%. Of course, if possible in the manufacturing process, the linear protrusions 42 do not need to extend from one end to the other, but only need to be able to pass through each of the first dividers 30.

[0043] As shown in Figures 12-1 and 12-2, a single three-dimensional linear member 70 can also be installed inside the air column 40. The three-dimensional linear member 70 is positioned inside the air column 40 and can pass through each of the first dividers 30, achieving the same effect as installing the linear protrusions 42. This prevents the air column 40 from becoming partially flattened due to interruptions in the exhaust process, which could cause it to get caught on the first dividers 30 and prevent smooth exhaust.

[0044] As described above and as shown in the listed embodiments and Figures 1-1 to 8, the special structural features of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 and column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 of the present invention not only allow for easy installation, operation, or storage of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 and column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200, but also effectively and significantly reduce shaking with the detachable outer cover 10 and air column 40, are easy to remove for cleaning, repair, and replacement, and even if the outer cover 10 or air column 40 is damaged, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 or column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 can continue to be used quickly, are easy to manufacture, and can be sized using a single mold. It is possible to produce various different types of column-separated inflatable mattress structures 100 or 200. By dividing the covering space 20 and using independent air columns 40, shaking is less likely to occur between different covering areas 220, and they do not interfere with each other. By installing linear protrusions 42 or three-dimensional linear members 70 inside the air columns 40, both air supply and exhaust can be performed without hindrance. These special effects allow the column-separated inflatable mattress structures 100 and 200 to be quickly applied to various application needs in places such as cars, homes, hospitals, and outdoors, achieving the objective of multi-functional application and effectively increasing the number of application scenes in which they can be used as needed.

[0045] However, the above embodiments are for illustrating the features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention, and not to limit the scope of the patent. Accordingly, other equivalent modifications and alterations that do not depart from the spirit disclosed in the present invention shall continue to be included in the following claims.
