Abstract

The invention relates to an air mattress comprised of at least one air chamber made of strips of an air-tight material that are welded or glued together, whereby the air chamber is provided with a closeable valve. The air mattress is externally joined, on at least one of its large-area sides, to a foam layer.

Description

Luftmatratzeair mattress

Beschreibungdescription

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Luftmatratze mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to an air mattress with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Luftmatratzen, bestehend aus wenigstens einer Luftkammer aus miteinander verschweißten oder verklebten Bahnen eines luftundurchlässigen Materials, wobei die Luftkammer mit einem verschließbaren Nentil zum Ein- und Auslassen von Luft versehen ist, sind lange bekannt. Solche Luftmatratzen sind zwar bequem, wärmen aber nur minimal, da die in den Luftkammern eingeschlossene Luft frei zirkulieren kann und damit durch Konvektion viel Wärme abführt. Schaumstoffgefullte Luftmatratzen sind recht schwer, haben ein relativ großes Packmaß und sind teuer in der Herstellung, da Delaminationsprobleme des Schaumstoffs von der Umhüllung vermieden werden sollen. Beide Arten von Luftmatratzen sind verletzungsanfällig, so dass Luft ungewollt schneller oder langsamer entweichen kann. Hiervon ausgenommen sind geschlossenporige Kunststoff-Isomatten, die aber relativ dünn und wesentlich weniger bequem sind.Air mattresses, consisting of at least one air chamber made of welded or glued webs of an air-impermeable material, the air chamber being provided with a closable valve for admitting and discharging air, have long been known. Such air mattresses are comfortable, but warm only minimally, since the air trapped in the air chambers can circulate freely and thus dissipate a lot of heat by convection. Foam-filled air mattresses are quite heavy, have a relatively large packing size and are expensive to manufacture, since delamination problems of the foam from the wrapping are to be avoided. Both types of air mattresses are prone to injury, so air can escape unintentionally faster or slower. This does not apply to closed-pore plastic mattresses, which are relatively thin and much less comfortable.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Luftmatratze mit verbesserten wärmenden Eigenschaften zu schaffen, wobei auch die Verletzungsanfälligkeit vermindert werden soll.The object of the present invention is to provide an air mattress with improved warming properties, the susceptibility to injury also being reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den in Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen und Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfaßt. Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Luftmatratze, bestehend aus wenigstens einer Luftkammer aus miteinander verschweißten oder verklebten Bahnen eines luftundurchlässigen Materials, wobei die Luftkammer mit einem verschließbaren Ventil zum Ein- und Auslassen von Luft versehen ist, daurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Luftmatratze außen auf wenigstens einer ihrer großflächigen Seiten verrutschsicher mit einer Schaumstofflage verbunden ist.This object is achieved with the features mentioned in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are included in the further claims. According to the invention, an air mattress consisting of at least one air chamber made of welded or glued sheets of air-impermeable material, the air chamber being provided with a closable valve for admitting and discharging air, characterized in that the air mattress is on the outside on at least one of its large sides is secured against slipping with a foam layer.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung besteht die Schaumstofflage aus geschlossenporigem Schaumstoff und die Schaumstofflage hüllt die Luftmatratze wenigstens auf ihren langen Flächen ein. Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung umschließt die Umhüllung die Luftmatratze auf wenigstens drei Seiten. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausfuhrung der Erfindung besteht die Umhüllung aus Bahnen, die randseitig direkt oder über textile Bänder miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Verbindung aus Vernähen, Verschweißen oder Verkleben besteht. Die Umhüllung kann eine Klappe für das alsAccording to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the foam layer consists of closed-cell foam and the foam layer envelops the air mattress at least on its long surfaces. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the covering encloses the air mattress on at least three sides. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the covering consists of webs which are connected to one another directly or via textile bands, the connection consisting of sewing, welding or gluing. The wrapper can be a flap for that

Sicherheitsventil zum Verhindern des Rückströmens von Luft ausgeführte Ventil aufweisen.Safety valve to prevent air from flowing back.

Das Material der Luftmatratze besteht vorzugsweise aus einem dünnen textilen oder Filmmaterial wie Polyurethan oder einem Leichtgewebe, das luftdicht beschichtet oder laminiert ist, um ein möglichst geringes Gewicht zu erzielen.The material of the air mattress preferably consists of a thin textile or film material such as polyurethane or a lightweight fabric that is airtightly coated or laminated in order to achieve the lowest possible weight.

Die verrutschsichere Verbindung zwischen der Schaumstofflage und der Luftmatratze erfolgt beispielsweise durch Verkleben oder Adhäsion der beiden Materialien unmittelbar oder durch einen Zwischenträger. Alternativ erfolgt die verrutschsichere Verbindung zwischen der Schaumstofflage und der Luftmatratze mechanisch, wie zum Beispiel durch einen Klettverschluss.The slip-proof connection between the foam layer and the air mattress takes place, for example, by gluing or adhesion of the two materials directly or by an intermediate carrier. Alternatively, the slip-proof connection between the foam layer and the air mattress is made mechanically, for example by means of a Velcro fastener.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung beispielhaft näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below by way of example with reference to a drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Luftmatratze 1, die von einer geschlossenporigen, wärmenden Schaumstofflage 2 umhüllt ist. Fig. 1 stellt die Luftmatratze 1 mit der Schaumstofflage 2 vorne im Schnitt dar. Die Luftmatratze ist in an sich bekannter Weise mit einem Ventil (nicht dargestellt) ausgeführt, wobei ihr Material wesentlich dünner sein kann, als bei herkömmlichen Luftmatratzen, da sie durch die Schaumstofflage 2 gegen Dornen oder spitze Steine oder dergleichen geschützt ist. Die Schaumstofflage, die bei der gezeigten Ausführung nicht stärker sein muss, als etwa 4 mm, besteht beispielsweise aus Ethyl-Vinyl-Acetat wir Evazote. Wird die Luftmatratze auf nur einer Seite mit einer Schaumstofflage versehen, so sollte deren Stärke 8 mm betragen. Wird die Luftmatratze trotz Umhüllung beschädigt, bleibt in beiden Fällen noch eine stützende Unterlage in der Stärke und mit den Eigenschaften einer Isomatte. Dies bedeutet gleichzeitig, dass die abgelassene Luftmatratze auch auf die gleichen Maße wie eine Isomatte zusammengerollt werden kann und auch kaum mehr Gewicht besitzt. 1 shows an air mattress 1, which is encased by a closed-pore, warming foam layer 2. Fig. 1 represents the air mattress 1 with the Foam layer 2 at the front in section. The air mattress is designed in a manner known per se with a valve (not shown), whereby its material can be considerably thinner than in conventional air mattresses, since it is against thorns or pointed stones or the like through the foam layer 2 is protected. The foam layer, which does not have to be thicker than about 4 mm in the embodiment shown, consists, for example, of ethyl vinyl acetate such as Evazote. If the air mattress is provided with a foam layer on only one side, its thickness should be 8 mm. If the air mattress is damaged in spite of the covering, in both cases there is still a supporting base in the strength and with the properties of a sleeping mat. At the same time, this means that the deflated air mattress can also be rolled up to the same dimensions as a sleeping mat and hardly has any weight.
