Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support for a lying or sitting person according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Known cushions with spring or foam cores are designed so that the shaped bodies and springs serve to achieve lying comfort and the spring effect, that is to say they do not cause a specific extension of the support.
  • Multi-layer cushions are known in which either the surface, the intermediate layer or the underside have corrugations which essentially serve to create cavities for better ventilation.
  • a foam core of a cushion is known which has groove-shaped air gaps, which each form a coherent ventilation network on the top and bottom of the core.
  • Three-layer upholstery is known from Austrian patent specification No. 230 050, the middle layer of which has an undulating or wrinkled shape.
  • this version is used exclusively to ensure that a special spring characteristic is achieved in the vertical plane by the inclined legs of the shaped body of the middle layer.
  • a longitudinal expansion of the upholstery is not intended and is prevented by the three-layer structure and the lack of molded molded parts.
  • a support is also known from European Patent EP-0 036 158 B1, which causes a slight, non-adding extension of the top of the support, starting from an apex to the right and left.
  • EP-0 036 158 B1 European Patent EP-0 036 158 B1
  • the person with the lumbar vertebra area must be positioned in a targeted manner on the vertex in order to transfer the desired stretching effect to the spine in the most effective way.
  • this pad has a pad surface that is functionally interspersed with wide gaps and therefore meets with rejection from the user.
  • the invention has for its object to form a support of the type mentioned so that it is possible to effectively stretch a horizontally lying person without the need for targeted positioning of the person on the support, and a lying to seated person depending on To effectively relieve the backrest angle when the support surface is closed or almost closed. Furthermore, the invention is intended to enable an inexpensive edition which is easy to handle and which permits targeted individual storage and stretching adjustment, up to blocking of the stretching effect. A requirement is also to be created. which, in addition to the stretching effect, automatically supports the contours of the body in all lying positions.
  • the coherent shaped support body allows the stretching path to be added, whereby a more intensive application of the stretching effect on the body of a person lying on the floor is possible than is achieved by known supports. Also in contrast to this, the coherent shaped support body enables a stretching effect, which always starts automatically from the pressure load center, as from the lumbar vertebra area of the person lying on, regardless of the lying position.
  • the shaped support body is allowed an unimpeded longitudinal extension, it rests on a shaped support body which has movably mounted spring elements which enable the shaped support body to be stretched longitudinally with low resistance.
  • the shaped support body which is characterized by a particular longitudinal elasticity, can either be located under, behind or on the shaped support body and can be firmly connected to it in a cushion unit, or the shaped support body and shaped storage body can form separate, loosely lying units.
  • the levers are connected to one another by crossbars and thus form a support body slat base.
  • the direct support for the body of the person lying on it consists of one or more elastic molded parts which, due to a special cross-sectional shape, are particularly elastic in the longitudinal direction and thus transmit the extension of the slatted base frame to the body of the person.
  • the support and slatted frame are preferably designed as separate units lying loosely on top of one another, but can also form a cushion unit when used as a backrest. Mechanical limitations and interlocks enable the stretching action to be blocked if necessary.
  • An embodiment with central suspension enables a continuous, individual regulation of the stretching effect.
  • the support designed according to the invention is particularly characterized by a surface which not only deflects under load, but also bulges automatically at locations with little or no contact pressure due to the shape of the molded support body. This results in an automatic adjustment to the body contour of the person lying on it in any lying position. Body bulges, such as those in the cervical vertebrae area, are filled, which means that the stretching effect is transferred to the cervical vertebrae area automatically and without a neck roller or neck pillow. Furthermore, the gradation in the shoulder / head area of a person lying on the side, which is significantly enlarged due to the arching, enables a straight spine posture without adjusting the top part of the support and without pillows, which automatically results in a straight lying posture both in the back and in the lateral position.
  • the shaped support body 1 is connected to a shaped storage body 2 made of permanently elastic material, for example by gluing.
  • Fig. 2 shows the body support of Fig. 1 in the loaded state.
  • the folds of the shaped support body 1 are pressed into a flatter (larger) angle 4 by the weight of the person lying on it, depending on the contact pressure.
  • the stretching 11 takes place automatically from the pressure loading center 10 to the left and right. In the areas without or only with slight pressure, a reduction in the fold angle 5 results in an arching of the body support.
  • a soft, permanently elastic material 8 for example foam with a density of 15 to 30 kg / m 3 and provided with an elastic cover 9.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of a shaped support body 12 with a shape cut that enables an almost closed, body-conforming top surface in a molded part.
  • the required elasticity of the wedges 15 filling the spaces between the folds is achieved by the spring taper 16.
  • various spring supports are shown, for example made of foam 13 and spring wire 14, each of which brings about a slightly different spring characteristic.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 show exemplary embodiments of a shaped support body (12) with different, downwardly directed supports (19, 20), and an almost closed top of the support, which are produced in one molded part.
  • the fold spaces between the top of the support are filled by molded corners (15).
  • the supports (19) are formed vertically.
  • Fig. 5 shows supports (20) which are formed obliquely to the center of the support.
  • FIG. 6 and 7 show an exemplary embodiment in which the shaped support body 22 and the shaped support body 23 - 24 are designed in a spring wire construction.
  • the shaped support body made of wire 22 has the fold shape according to the invention in the cross section of FIG. 6.
  • this shaped support body 22 has an S-shaped curve which enables the wire bodies 22 to be connected to one another by braiding.
  • the spring elements 23 are connected to this shaped support body braid by means of fastening elements 21 corresponding to the prior art.
  • the underside is likewise provided with a shaped body 24, which is fundamentally possible with all upholstered body supports in order to increase their adaptability, for example to adjustable bed frames.
  • a slat base is provided for stretching, which consists of fold-shaped levers 38, which are connected by axes of rotation 39 and are longitudinally displaceably mounted in the longitudinal groove 40 of the longitudinal frame 25.
  • the crossbars 26 are connected by means of axes of rotation 27 to the levers 38 on the upper joints.
  • the support suspension 28 is located between the crossbars 26 and the holders 29, which are attached to the longitudinal frame 25.
  • the required pretensioning of the support springs 28 can be achieved by a spring stop corresponding to the state of the art, which is only loosely connected to the crossbars 26, as a result of which, in this exemplary embodiment as well, the shaped support body and thus the body support 30, 41 is possible.
  • the body support is formed by an elastic molded body, for example foam 30 or spring core 41, which is given special longitudinal elasticity by means of shaped incisions 31 and an elastic cover 9.
  • FIG. 9 shows the body support and the slatted base frame in the state of the pressurization 18, in which the shaped incisions 31 of the body support have 17 gaps 32 due to the stretching.
  • FIG. 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of a slatted base frame which is provided with central suspension 34 at the end of the longitudinal frame 25, which is located on a stop axis 35.
