Abstract

1,024,312. Mattresses. VICKERS Ltd. Jan. 22, 1965 [Jan. 28, 1964], No. 3712/64. Heading A4M. A mattress includes inflatable back and knee rests 4, 6 which are connected by a flexible tube 14 and extension 14a thereof, to a valve 11 which has an inlet for air passed through a flexible tube 9 from an electrically driven blower 8, the valve being manually operable to control inflation and deflation of the rests. The rests are overlain by a flexible block 7 or rubber or plastic, which forms the lying surface and has a detachable cover, and by air-tight rubber bags 1, 2 seamed together at 3 and inflatable by the blower through the valve 11 and tubes 12, 13. A "stay-put" sheath 10 for the flexible tubes is positionable to bring the control valve 11, and switch 15 thereon for the blower, within reach of the occupant of the bed. A back plate on the control valve has connectors for the tubes 9, 12, 13 and 14 and a rotatable cap on the front of the valve is manually adjustable to anyone of three operating positions, viz. inflate, vent, and hold, associated with each of the tubes 12, 13, 14 and all, any two, or one of the rests or bags can be maintained inflated at any one time. In a modification an electrically operated control valve is mounted on the blower, press buttons on a plate, held by the occupant of the bed, energizing solenoids to effect inflation, deflation or holding. In further modifications the valve ensures that when one of the bags is being inflated the other bag deflates, and the inflatable bags are beneath the rests 4 and 6.
