DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order to enable the judges and reviewers to further appreciate and understand the technical means and operation process of the present invention, examples are given here and described in detail in combination with drawings.

[0012] First, referring to Figures 1-1 and 1-2, these are embodiments of a column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100. The column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2 can be inflated with air and used in various situations, such as in cars, homes, medical facilities, and leisure facilities. The column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 includes an outer cover 10, a covered space 20, at least one first divider 30, air columns 40, and an air intake / exhaust valve 50.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2, the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 is made of a soft and durable material and is three-dimensionally sealed to surround and form a covered space 20. The outer cover 10 has a first cover surface 11 and a second cover surface 12 opposite the first cover surface 11 and joined at the periphery. There are no particular restrictions on the shape or size of the outer cover 10, but in actual applications, the outer cover 10 and the covered space 20 it surrounds are commonly used in a rectangular shape.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2, the covered space 20 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 is a hollow area surrounded by the outer cover 10. By selecting and installing the outer cover 10 from a material that is strong, breathable, and comfortable to the touch, the outer cover 10 is less likely to be damaged, and the air and moisture in the covered space 20 can easily circulate and be exchanged with the outside through the outer cover 10.

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

[0016] To facilitate the organization, cleaning or maintenance of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100, a fastener 60 can be installed at the joint between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12, and the fastener 60 can be a single fastener or a double fastener, and can also be a one-sided fastener or a two-sided fastener.

[0017] 1-1, 1-2 and 3, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 includes at least one first divider 30, which 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 and formed by the outer cover 10 into adjacent compartments 21 that are adjacent to each other and whose both ends communicate with each other.

[0018] When there is one first divider 30, the covered space 20 is divided into two adjacent compartments 21 that are adjacent to each other and communicate with each other at both ends, when there are two first dividers 30, the covered space 20 is divided into three compartments 21 that are adjacent to each other and communicate with each other at both ends, when there are three first dividers 30, the covered space 20 is divided into four compartments 21 that are adjacent to each other and communicate with each other at both ends, and so on.

[0019] The first dividers 30 may be installed in any manner as long as they do not come into contact with each other. In a preferred embodiment, the two or more first dividers 30 are installed in parallel. In another preferred embodiment, the two or more first dividers 30 are not only installed in parallel but also installed at equal intervals, that is, the distance between adjacent first dividers 30 is equal, and therefore the sizes of the compartments 21 are all equal.

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

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, the first divider 30 may be joined between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 in a sawtooth fashion, forming the resulting compartment 21 as a triangular shaped compartment 21 area.

[0022] The aforementioned first dividers 30 are bonded between the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12, and whether they are sawtooth or not in contact with each other, the tight bonding between each first divider 30 and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 can be achieved by high frequency, sewing, or adhesive.

[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 in each compartment 21 in a removable or replaceable manner, and at least one end 41 of the air column 40 has an air intake / exhaust valve 50 that can be opened or closed.

[0024] In this way, the air columns 40 are inserted into each compartment 21 formed within the outer cover 10 by the first dividers 30, and when in use, air is supplied through the air intake and exhaust valves 50 at the ends 41 of the air columns 40, thereby creating a comfortable, breathable, and stable column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100. When the user wants to store it, air can be exhausted through the air intake and exhaust valve 50.

[0025] If the air intake and exhaust valve 50 is installed only at the end 41 of the air column 40, air can be supplied to or exhausted from the air column 40 when the fastener 60 of the outer cover 10 is opened. In other embodiments, the air intake and exhaust valve 50 can be installed so as to pass through the outer cover 10 and the air column 40, and air can 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 when the outer cover 10 is opened, causing inconvenience, at least one end 41 of the air column 40 can be connected to the outer cover 10 in the form of, but not limited to, a snap, a belt, or a hook-and-loop fastener.

[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 covered 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 aforementioned column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100, and is made 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 opposite the first cover surface 11 and having their peripheries joined together, and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 together cover and form 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 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 covered space 20 into at least two covered areas 220 that are not connected to each other.

[0030] That is, depending on the needs of the application, when the number of second dividers 210 is one, the coated space 20 is divided into two mutually unconnected coated regions 220, when the number of second dividers 210 is two, the coated space 20 is divided into three mutually unconnected coated regions 220, and so on. The important feature of this embodiment is that the different coated 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 includes a plurality of first dividers 30 which are respectively joined and installed within each covered area 220 inside the outer cover 10, with the upper and lower ends of the first dividers 30 being in close contact with the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12, respectively, and each dividing each covered area 220 into a plurality of adjacent compartments 21 whose ends are connected to each other.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 6-1, any first divider 30 can be placed parallel or nearly parallel to the second divider 210.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 6-2, any first divider 30 can be placed perpendicular to the second divider 210, or at an angle that is not parallel 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 in any covered area 220 divided and formed by the second divider 210, and the air column 40 removably passes through each compartment 21 divided and formed by the first divider 30 in the covered area 220 in sequence.

[0035] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, at least one end 41 of any air column 40 has an air intake / exhaust valve 50 that can be opened or closed, and when the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 is used or stored, the air intake / exhaust valve 50 allows air to be supplied to or vented from each air column 40.

[0036] As shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 has an important feature that the different covered areas 220 are independent and do not communicate with each other, and can achieve the excellent effect of preventing independent bed pads from interfering with each other in a simple, feasible, and speedy manner. That is, the different covered areas 220 separated by the second divider 210 do not communicate with each other and have individual air columns 40, so that vibrations or shaking occurring in one covered area 220 will not be transmitted to the other covered areas 220, which greatly improves the comfort of use of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 and widely expands the range of applications of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200.

[0037] At least one fastener 60 may be further installed on the side cover surface 13 of the outer cover 10 of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 to facilitate the installation, arrangement, cleaning, or maintenance of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200. The installed fastener 60 may similarly be a single fastener or a double fastener, and may be a one-way fastener or a two-way fastener.

[0038] The first divider 30 in 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 shape, and the compartment 21 divided and formed by the first divider 30 is formed as a triangular compartment 21 area.

[0039] The optional air columns 40 of the aforementioned column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 or column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 can be inflated to form a rigid and strong columnar body, or deflated to form a substantially flat, foldable, and sealed member for easy storage. 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, a linear protrusion 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 an innovative effect unique to this embodiment, allowing the user to smoothly perform the entire process of air intake or exhaust through the air column 40, and the air column 40 does not become partially flattened due to an interruption in the exhaust process, and does not get caught on the first divider 30, preventing smooth exhaust.

[0042] In the embodiment, the linear protrusions 42 are provided 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, and only need to be able to pass through each first divider 30.

[0043] As shown in Figures 12-1 and 12-2, one three-dimensional linear member 70 can also be installed inside the air column 40. The three-dimensional linear member 70 is disposed inside the air column 40, and can simply pass through each first divider 30, achieving the same effect as installing linear protrusions 42. This prevents the air column 40 from becoming partially flattened due to an interruption in the exhaust flow, causing it to get caught on the first divider 30 and preventing smooth exhaust.

[0044] As described above, as shown in the enumerated embodiments and in Figures 1-1 to 8, the special structural features of the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 and the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 of the present invention not only make it easy to install, operate or store the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 and the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200, but also effectively and significantly reduce shaking by the detachable outer cover 10 and the air columns 40, and are easy to remove for cleaning, repair or replacement, and even if the outer cover 10 or the air columns 40 are damaged, the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 100 or the column-separated inflatable mattress structure 200 can continue to be used immediately, and are easy to manufacture, and can be made to size using a single mold. It is possible to produce a variety of different column-separated inflatable mattress structures 100 or 200, which can divide the covered space 20 and use independent air columns 40, which make it difficult for different covered areas 220 to sway and do not interfere with each other, and by installing linear protrusions 42 or three-dimensional linear members 70 inside the air columns 40, it has the special effect of allowing both air intake and exhaust to be carried out without any hindrance. The column-separated inflatable mattress structures 100 and 200 can be quickly adapted to various application needs in places such as cars, homes, hospitals, and outdoors, thereby achieving the purpose of multi-functional application and effectively increasing the application scenarios for suitable use.
