Abstract

The mattress support, to give a common support in conjunction with other units, has a longitudinal laying surface (1) at the carrier body (2). Also claimed is an assembly of mattress supports where, at the shoulder area, the supports are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mattress. At the hip area, the supports are aligned across the mattress axis.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Untermatratze mit mehreren im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordneten, elastisch biegsamen Latten, die zumindest im Hüftbereich quer zur Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufen.The present invention relates to a sub-mattress with a plurality of elastically flexible slats which are arranged essentially parallel to one another and which run at least in the hip region transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sub-mattress.

Bekannte Untermatratzen dieser Art weisen eine Vielzahl von elastisch biegsamen Latten auf, die quer zur Längsrichtung der Untermatratze angeordnet und üblicherweise in einem Rahmen gelagert sind. Mit derartigen auch als Lattenroste bezeichneten Untermatratzen kann zwar eine weitgehend optimale Unterstützung der Wirbelsäule in Rückenlage erreicht werden, indem die doppel-S-förmige Körperkontur nachgebildet wird. In Seitenlage kann die gewünschte geradlinige Form der Wirbelsäule aber nicht vollkommen erreicht werden, da die Latten hierfür nicht flexibel genug sind. Insbesondere der Schulterbereich kann in Seitenlage nicht so tief eintauchen, wie es für die Gewährleistung einer geradlinig erstreckten Wirbelsäule erforderlich wäre.Known sub-mattresses of this type have a multiplicity of elastically flexible slats which are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sub-mattress and are usually mounted in a frame. With such mattresses, also known as slatted frames, a largely optimal support of the spine in the supine position can be achieved by simulating the double S-shaped body contour. However, the desired straight shape of the spine cannot be completely achieved in a lateral position, since the slats are not flexible enough for this. In particular, the shoulder area cannot dip as deeply into the side position as would be necessary to ensure a straight spine.

Bei einer aus der DE-U-87 08 282 bekannten Untermatratze der eingangs genannten Art ist das obere Drittel der Untermatratze gegenüber dem übrigen Teil verschwenkbar ausgebildet und weist in Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufende, elastisch biegsame Latten auf. Diese Latten sind also sowohl im Kopfbereich als auch im Schulterbereich vorgesehen. Außerdem sind diese Latten untereinander mit einem hindurchgeflochtenen Band miteinander verbunden, um eine unabhängige Bewegung der einzelnen Latten zu vermeiden, so daß bei Belastung einer Latte auch die benachbarten Latten mitbewegt werden.In a sub-mattress of the type mentioned at the beginning of DE-U-87 08 282, the upper third of the sub-mattress is designed to be pivotable relative to the remaining part and has elastically flexible slats running in the longitudinal direction of the sub-mattress. These slats are therefore provided both in the head area and in the shoulder area. In addition, these slats are connected to each other with a braided band to prevent independent movement of the individual slats, so that when one slat is loaded, the adjacent slats are also moved.

Diese bekannte Untermatratze hat den Nachteil, daß der Kopf- und Schulterbereich nicht optimal abgestützt wird. Einerseits taucht der Kopfbereich aufgrund der dort vorgesehenen Längslatten zutief ein. Andererseits ist ein tiefes Eintauchen im Schulterbereich in Seitenlage einer die Untermatratze benutzenden Person nicht optimal möglich, da die Längslatten über das geflochtene Band miteinander verbunden sind.This known bottom mattress has the disadvantage that the head and shoulder area is not optimally supported. On the one hand, the head area is deeply immersed due to the longitudinal slats provided there. On the other hand, a deep immersion in the shoulder area in the lateral position of a person using the lower mattress is not optimally possible since the longitudinal slats are connected to one another via the braided band.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Untermatratze der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß der Kopf- und Schulterbereich optimal abgestützt wird.The invention has for its object to improve a sub-mattress of the type mentioned so that the head and shoulder area is optimally supported.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Durch die in Querrichtung verlaufenden elastisch biegsamen Latten im Kopf- und Hüftbereich wird wie bei bekannten Untermatratzen die Ausbildung einer Doppel-S-Form in Rückenlage optimal ermöglicht. Durch die im Schulterbereich vorhandenen, quer zur Längsrichtung der Untermatratze aufeinanderfolgenden, im wesentlichen voneinander unabhängigen Federelemente wird erreicht, daß in Rückenlage der Körper verhältnismäßig wenig eintaucht und so die Doppel-S-Form im wesentlichen wie bei bekannten Untermatratzen mit in diesem Bereich angeordneten Querlatten nachgebildet wird, während in Seitenlage wegen der dann geringeren Auflagefläche ein tieferes Eintauchen des Schulterbereiches ermöglicht wird. Dieser Effekt ergibt sich dadurch, daß in Rückenlage eine größere Zahl von Federelementen belastet wird, die daher weniger eintauchen als in Seitenlage, in welcher nur ein oder wenige Federelemente belastet sind.The transverse, elastic, flexible slats in the head and hip area make it possible to form a double S shape in the supine position, as is the case with known mattresses. The spring elements in the shoulder area, which are successive and essentially independent of one another, transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base mattress, ensure that the body is immersed relatively little in the supine position and thus simulates the double S shape essentially as in known base mattresses with crossbars arranged in this area is, while in the lateral position, because of the then smaller contact surface, a deeper immersion of the shoulder area is made possible. This effect results from the fact that a larger number of spring elements is loaded in the supine position, which therefore plunge less than in the lateral position, in which only one or a few spring elements are loaded.

Um ein ausreichendes Eintauchen des Schulterbereiches in Seitenlage zu gewährleisten, wird es in der Regel ausreichen, in einem Bereich von ca. 30 bis 40 cm die genannten unabhängigen Federelemente vorzusehen. Selbstverständlich kann der Bereich aber auch größer gewählt werden, solange die Nachbildung der Doppel-S-Form im Hüftbereich durch die Querlatten bei Rückenlage nicht beeinträchtigt wird.In order to ensure sufficient immersion of the shoulder area in a lateral position, it will generally suffice to provide the aforementioned independent spring elements in a range of approximately 30 to 40 cm. Of course, the area can also be chosen larger, as long as the replica of the double S shape in the hip area is not impaired by the crossbars in the supine position.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind im Schulterbereich als Federelemente in Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufende elastisch biegsame Latten vorhanden. Durch die Längsanordnung der Latten ist gewährleistet, daß in Rückenlage eine größere Zahl von Latten belastet ist als in Seitenlage. Insbesondere wird in Seitenlage im wesentlichen nur eine Latte belastet, die dementsprechend tief eintaucht und eine geradlinige Form der Wirbelsäule ermöglicht.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, elastic, flexible slats are provided in the shoulder area as spring elements in the longitudinal direction of the lower mattress. The longitudinal arrangement of the slats ensures that a larger number of slats is loaded in the supine position than in the lateral position. In particular, only one crossbar is loaded in the lateral position, which accordingly plunges deeply and enables a straight shape of the spine.

Die Länge der Längslatten im Schulterbereich kann je nach Bedarf unterschiedlich sein, insbesondere können die Latten jeweils auch zwei- oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein, das heißt, es sind jeweils in Längsrichtung zwei oder mehr Latten hintereinander angeordnet. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, daß die Untermatratze zur Hochstellung des Kopfbereiches abgeknickt wird.The length of the longitudinal slats in the shoulder area can vary depending on requirements, in particular the slats can also be formed in two or more parts, that is, two or more slats are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction. In this way it is possible that the bottom mattress is bent to raise the head area.

Die Längslatten im Schulterbereich können bevorzugt elastisch gelagert sein, so daß vorteilhafterweise jeweils auch die Endbereiche der Längslatten elastisch nachgiebig sind und bei der optimalen Unterstützung der Körperkontur mitwirken.The longitudinal battens in the shoulder area can preferably be elastically supported, so that advantageously the end areas of the longitudinal battens are also elastically flexible and cooperate in optimally supporting the body contour.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schulterbereich eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Federelementen vorhanden, die über den Schulterbereich verteilt, insbesondere in Reihen und Spalten, angeordnet sind. Solche einzelnen Federelemente gewährleisten ebenfalls ein unterschiedliches Eintauchen des Körpers in Rücken- bzw. Seitenlage, da auch hier in Querrichtung mehrere voneinander unabhängige Federelemente aufeinanderfolgen. Zudem ermöglichen solche Federelemente ein beliebiges Abknicken der Untermatratze. Die Federelemente können bevorzugt eine Auflagefläche für eine Obermatratze aufweisen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, a plurality of individual spring elements are present in the shoulder area, which are distributed over the shoulder area, in particular arranged in rows and columns. Such individual spring elements also ensure a different immersion of the body in the back or side position, since here too several independent spring elements follow one another in the transverse direction. In addition, such spring elements allow the bottom mattress to bend as desired. The spring elements can preferably have a contact surface for an upper mattress.

Embodiments of the invention are in the Drawing shown and are described below. They show, each in a schematic representation,
Figure 1
a plan view of a first variant of the mattress under the invention, and
Figure 2
a plan view of a second variant of an under mattress according to the invention.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Untermatratze weist einen Rahmen 1 auf, in welchem im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordnete, quer zur Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufende, elastisch biegsame Latten 2 gelagert sind. Die biegsamen Latten 2 sind dabei neben dem Hüftbereich 3 auch im Fußbereich 4, im Kopfbereich 5 und im Rumpfbereich 6 der Untermatratze angeordnet. Im Schulterbereich 7 der Untermatratze sind dagegen in Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufende, zueinander parallel angeordnete, elastisch biegsame Latten 8 vorhanden, wobei jeweils zwei Längslatten 8 in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet sind, so daß ein Abknicken des Rahmens 1 an der mit I bezeichneten Stelle möglich ist.The sub-mattress shown in FIG. 1 has a frame 1 in which resiliently flexible slats 2, which are arranged essentially parallel to one another and run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sub-mattress, are mounted. In addition to the hip area 3, the flexible slats 2 are also arranged in the foot area 4, in the head area 5 and in the trunk area 6 of the lower mattress. In contrast, in the shoulder area 7 of the sub-mattress there are elastically flexible slats 8 which run in the longitudinal direction of the sub-mattress and are arranged parallel to one another, two longitudinal slats 8 being arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, so that the frame 1 can be bent at the point indicated by I.

Die Latten 2 sind in bekannter Weise in hierfür vorgesehenen Aufnahmeelementen 9 des Rahmens 1 gelagert. Zur Lagerung der Längslatten 8 sind im Rahmen 1 Querträger 10 angeordnet, die entweder selbst elastisch nachgiebig sind oder eine elastisch nachgiebige Auflage aufweisen, auf welcher die Längslatten 8 angeordnet sind.The slats 2 are mounted in a known manner in receiving elements 9 of the frame 1 provided for this purpose. To support the longitudinal slats 8, cross members 10 are arranged in the frame 1, which are either themselves elastically flexible or have an elastically flexible support on which the longitudinal slats 8 are arranged.

Bei der in Figur 2 dargestellten Variante sind in dem Rahmen 1 wiederum quer zur Längsrichtung der Untermatratze verlaufende, im wesentlichen zueinander parallel angeordnete, elastisch biegsame Latten 2 angeordnet, und zwar neben dem Hüftbereich 3, im Fußbereich 4, im Kopfbereich 5 und im Rumpfbereich 6. Im Schulterbereich 7 der Untermatratze sind jedoch im Unterschied zu der Variante von Figur 1 keine Längslatten 8, sondern in Reihen und Spalten angeordnete einzelne Federelemente 11 angeordnet. Die Federelemente 11 weisen jeweils eine Auflagefläche 12 für eine Obermatratze auf und sind auf einer festen, hier nicht dargestellten Unterlage gelagert. Auch bei der Variante von Figur 2 ist der Rahmen 1 an den mit I gekennzeichneten Stellen abknickbar. Die Querlatten 2 sind wiederum in Aufnahmen 9 in bekannter Weise gelagert.In the variant shown in FIG. 2, resiliently flexible slats 2 are arranged in the frame 1, transversely to the longitudinal direction of the lower mattress, arranged essentially parallel to one another, namely next to the hip area 3, in the foot area 4, in the head area 5 and in the trunk area 6 In contrast to the variant in FIG. 1, in the shoulder area 7 of the base mattress there are no longitudinal slats 8, but individual spring elements 11 arranged in rows and columns. The spring elements 11 each have a support surface 12 for an upper mattress and are mounted on a solid base, not shown here. In the variant of FIG. 2, the frame 1 can also be bent at the points marked with I. The crossbars 2 are in turn stored in recordings 9 in a known manner.

Bei beiden Varianten gewährleisten die elastisch biegsamen Querlatten 2 im Hüftbereich 3 eine optimale Ausbildung der Doppel-S-Form in Rükkenlage. Die unterschiedlichen im Schulterbereich 7 angeordneten Federelemente 8 und 11 gewährleisten neben der Ausbildung einer Doppel-S-Form in Rückenlage zusätzlich ein tiefes Eintauchen in Seitenlage und dadurch eine weitgehend geradlinige Form der Wirbelsäule. Dies kann jeweils noch dadurch unterstützt werden, daß die Längslatten 8 auf einer elastischen Unterlage angeordnet sind.In both variants, the elastic, flexible crossbars 2 in the hip area 3 ensure an optimal formation of the double S shape in the back position. The different spring elements 8 and 11 arranged in the shoulder area 7 ensure, in addition to the formation of a double S-shape in the supine position, also a deep immersion in the lateral position and thereby a largely rectilinear shape of the spine. This can be supported in each case in that the longitudinal slats 8 are arranged on an elastic base.

Bei allen erfindungsgemäßen Varianten ergibt sich eine optimale Unterstützung der Körperkontur sowohl in Rückenlage als auch in Seitenlage.In all variants according to the invention there is an optimal support of the body contour both in the supine as well as in the lateral position.
