Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kopf- oder Körperunterlage, insbesondere ein Kissen, eine Matratze oder dergleichen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, vgl.
Bei aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kissen, die beispielsweise aus einer Federeinlage oder aus einer Schaumstoffeinlage bestehen, wird es als nachteilig angesehen, dass infolge der Kopf- oder Körperauflage die Kopf- oder Körperunterlage bzw. das Kissen oder die Matratze derart gestaucht wird, dass Schweißabsonderungen im Auflagebereich begünstigt werden. Dies geschieht aus dem Grund, weil insbesondere die Kopf- oder Körperunterlage bzw. das Kissen nicht die Möglichkeit bietet, den abgesonderten Schweiß ausreichend vom Körper weg zu führen, so dass das Kissen oder die Matratze letztendlich nur in der Lage ist, den Schweiß aufzunehmen.In known from the prior art cushions, which consist for example of a spring insert or a foam insert, it is considered disadvantageous that due to the head or body support the head or body pad or the pillow or mattress is compressed such that Sweat secretions in the support area are favored. This is because, in particular, the head or body pad or pad does not provide the ability to adequately guide the secretion of perspiration away from the body so that the pad or mattress is ultimately only able to absorb perspiration.
Hieraus ergibt sich die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe, eine Kopf- oder Körperunterlage, insbesondere ein Kissen, eine Matratze oder dergleichen, umfassend eine Einlage mit einem Bezug derart weiter zu bilden, dass eine gewisse Atmungsaktivität bereitgestellt wird, um Schweißbildungen im Kopfauflage- oder Körperauflagebereich zu unterbinden.It follows from the object underlying the invention, a head or body pad, in particular a pillow, a mattress or the like, comprising an insert with a cover to further develop such that a certain breathability is provided to perspiration in Kopfauflage- or Body support area to prevent.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the subject matter of
Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung wird eine atmungsaktive Kopf- oder Körperunterlage in Form eines atmungsaktiven Kissens oder einer atmungsaktiven Matratze bereitgestellt, welche bevorzugt eine Innenbelüftung der Einlage zulässt. Denn aufgrund der Steifigkeit der Einlage in Verbindung mit den offenen Hohlräumen ergibt sich ein Belüftungssystem, durch dass insbesondere Schweiß bzw. Wärme vom Kopf oder Körper abgeführt werden kann. Dies geschieht dadurch, dass bei der Bewegung des Kopfes oder des Körpers auf dem Kissen oder der Matratze die Federelemente be- bzw. entlastet werden, wodurch sich der jeweilige Hohlraum verkleinert/vergrößert, was insbesondere eine selbsttätige Belüftung der Einlage hervorruft. Diese Ausbildung stellt eine atmungsaktive Kopf- oder Körperunterlage bereit, die in der Lage ist, Wärme vom Kopf- bzw. Körperbereich fern zu halten, so dass eine Schweißbildung unterbunden wird.Due to this design, a breathable head or body pad in the form of a breathable pad or mattress is provided, which preferably permits internal ventilation of the pad. Because of the rigidity of the insert in conjunction with the open cavities results in a ventilation system, in particular by sweat or heat can be removed from the head or body. This happens because during the movement of the head or the body on the cushion or mattress, the spring elements are loaded or unloaded, whereby the respective cavity is reduced / enlarged, which in particular causes an automatic ventilation of the insert. This design provides a breathable head or body pad capable of keeping heat away from the head area so as to inhibit perspiration.
Die durch die Federelemente offen gehaltenen Hohlräume können auch für andere Einrichtungen genutzt werden, wobei hier daran zu denken ist, beispielsweise ein Radio, eine Heizung, einen Rüttler oder auch eine Belüftung in den Hohlräumen unterzubringen.The cavities kept open by the spring elements can also be used for other devices, wherein it is to be remembered to accommodate, for example, a radio, a heater, a vibrator or a ventilation in the cavities.
Entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind der oder die Hohlräume aus Kanälen gebildet, die sich quer zur Liegerichtung erstrecken. Diese Kanäle sind zu den Seitenwänden des blockartigen Schaumstoffkörpers geöffnet ausgebildet. Somit ist eine direkte Öffnung des Kissen- oder Matratzenkerns zur Umgebung gegeben, so dass Wärme unmittelbar an die Umgebung abgeführt werden kann, ohne dass es im Bereich der Kopf- oder Körperauflage zu einem Wärmestau kommen kann.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cavity or cavities are formed by channels which extend transversely to the lying direction. These channels are open to the side walls of the block-like foam body. Thus, a direct opening of the cushion or mattress core is given to the environment, so that heat can be dissipated directly to the environment, without it in the head or body support can come to a heat accumulation.
In Weiterbildung insbesondere des Bezuges wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass an den Seitenbereichen des blockartigen Schaumstoffkörpers vorzugsweise luftdurchlässiges Gewebe angebracht ist, welches insbesondere eine Luftzirkulation durch den Kissenkern begünstigt. In Weiterbildung insbesondere der Liegefläche wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Oberseite des blockartigen Schaumstoffkörpers gewellt ausgebildet ist.In a further development, in particular of the cover, it is proposed according to the invention that preferably air-permeable fabric be attached to the side regions of the block-like foam body, which in particular promotes air circulation through the cushion core. In particular, the lying surface is proposed that the top of the block-like foam body is formed wavy.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des verwendeten Federelementes sieht vor, dass das in dem Hohlraum angeordnete Federelement als einstückiges Kunststoffelement mit mindestens einem streifenförmigen, konkaven Federoberteil und einem streifenförmigen, konkaven Federunterteil ausgebildet ist, wobei Federoberteil und Federunterteil an ihren freien Enden aneinander zugewandt einen gemeinsamen Verbindungsbereich aufweisen. Die beschriebene konstruktive Gestaltung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Herstellungsweise.A further advantageous embodiment of the spring element used provides that the spring element arranged in the cavity is formed as a one-piece plastic element with at least one strip-shaped, concave spring shell and a strip-shaped, concave spring base, the spring shell and spring base facing each other at their free ends having a common connection region , The structural design described allows a particularly simple and cost-effective production.
Das Federoberteil und das Federunterteil können dabei seitlich versetzt zueinander angeordnet sein, wobei der Verbindungsbereich als im Wesentlichen U-förmiges Bogenstück ausgebildet ist. Die freien Enden des Federoberteils können zweckmäßigerweise einen gabelförmigen Bereich mit zwei Stegen aufweisen, wobei jeder Steg mit dem freien Ende eines seitlich versetzt neben dem Federoberteil angeordneten Federunterteils verbunden ist. Dabei kann selbstverständlich auch das Federunterteil in äquivalenter Weise so gestaltet sein, dass es einen gabelförmigen Bereich mit zwei Stegen aufweist. Zur Verbesserung der Auflageeigenschaften für den Kopf oder Körper einer die Kopf- oder Körperunterlage benutzenden Person ist es darüber hinaus zweckmäßig, dass die Breite des stegförmigen Federoberteils größer gemessen ist, als die Breite des Federunterteils.The upper spring part and the lower spring part can be arranged laterally offset from each other, wherein the connecting portion is formed as a substantially U-shaped elbow. The free ends of the upper spring part may expediently have a fork-shaped region with two webs, wherein each web is connected to the free end of a laterally offset next to the spring upper part spring lower part. In this case, of course, the lower spring part can be designed in an equivalent manner so that it has a fork-shaped region with two webs. To improve the support properties for the head or body of the head or body pad using person, it is also appropriate that the width of the web-shaped spring top is measured greater than the width of the spring base.
Um ausreichende Federeigenschaften der Federelemente innerhalb der Hohlräume des Kissens oder der Matratze zu gewährleisten, hat es sich darüber hinaus als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Federelemente so zu gestalten, dass jeweils drei Federoberteile und vier Federunterteile bzw. ein gemeinsames Federelement bilden. Dabei sind die beschriebenen Federelemente erfindungsgemäß durch eine Verbindungsvorrichtung miteinander gekoppelt werden.In order to ensure sufficient spring properties of the spring elements within the cavities of the pillow or the mattress, it has also proven to be advantageous to make the spring elements so that in each case form three spring tops and four spring bases or a common spring element. The spring elements described are inventively coupled together by a connecting device.
Die Verbindungsvorrichtung weist erfindungsgemäß mindestens eine an einem außen liegenden Federoberteil oder Federunterteil angeordnete Aufnahme und eine an der gegenüber liegenden der Aufnahme abgewandten Seite an einem außen liegenden Federunterteil oder Federoberteil befindliche korrespondierende Verbindungszunge auf. Aufnahme und Verbindungszunge greifen beim Zusammenbau mehrerer Federelemente ineinander, so dass sich hierdurch Federelementlagen bilden lassen, die in ihrer Länge den Hohlräumen bzw. Kanälen der Kopf- oder Körperauflage entsprechen, so dass diese vollständig ausgefüllt sind. Natürlich ist unter entsprechenden Anwendungsbedingungen auch eine nur teilweise Füllung der Hohlräume mit Federelementen denkbar.According to the invention, the connecting device has at least one receptacle arranged on an outer spring upper part or spring lower part and a corresponding connecting tongue located on the opposite side facing away from the receptacle on an outer spring lower part or spring upper part. Receiving and connecting tongue engage in the assembly of multiple spring elements into one another, so that this can form spring element layers that correspond in length to the cavities or channels of the head or body support, so that they are completely filled. Of course, under appropriate conditions of use, only a partial filling of the cavities with spring elements is conceivable.
Um einen Vereinzeln der miteinander gekoppelten Federelemente zusätzlich zu verhindern, kann die Verbindungszunge mindestens eine Rastnase aufweisen.In order to additionally prevent separation of the coupled spring elements, the connecting tongue may have at least one latching lug.
Zur Erzielung einer gleichmäßigen Federwirkung sieht darüber hinaus eine zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Ausgestaltungsvariante der Federelemente vor, dass die Breite der außen liegenden Federunterteile im Wesentlichen halb so groß bemessen ist, wie die Breite der übrigen Federunterteile. Durch diese Maßnahme wird bei einer Aneinanderkoppelung mehrerer Federelemente bei den Federunterteilen insgesamt die gleiche Breite im Kopplungsbereich erzielt, wie diese bei den übrigen Federunterteilen auch vorhanden ist.To achieve a uniform spring action beyond an expedient development of the design variant of the spring elements provides that the width of the outer spring bases is dimensioned substantially half as large as the width of the remaining spring bases. By this measure, a total of the same width in the coupling region is achieved with a Aneinanderkoppelung several spring elements in the lower spring parts, as this is also present in the other spring bases.
Um die Federungseigenschaften der Kopf- oder Körperauflage in verschiedenen Bereichen unterschiedlich zu gestalten, kann es darüber hinaus vorteilhaft sein, wenn die kanalförmigen Hohlräume innerhalb der Kopf- oder Körperunterlage im Querschnitt unterschiedlich groß gestaltet werden. Die Größe der Hohlräume ist dabei auf die Größe der Federelemente abgestimmt, so dass bei größeren Federelementen auch in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Kunststoffmaterials eine härtere Federwirkung erzielbar ist. Diese Federwirkung lässt sich natürlich auch durch die Parameter der Federoberteil- und Federunterteilbreiten beeinflussen. Darüber hinaus ist auch der Einbau unterschiedlicher Federelementgrößen in die Hohlräume möglich.In order to make the suspension properties of the head or body support different in different areas, it may also be advantageous if the channel-shaped cavities within the head or body underlay are designed differently in cross-section. The size of the cavities is matched to the size of the spring elements, so that with larger spring elements and depending on the plastic material used a harder spring action is achievable. Of course, this spring effect can also be influenced by the parameters of the spring top and spring bottom widths. In addition, the installation of different spring element sizes in the cavities is possible.
Es hat sich darüber hinaus als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass das Einbringen der Federelemente in die Einlage der Kopf- oder Körperauflage dadurch erleichtert wird, dass der Schaumstoffkörper einen von der Unterseite zum Hohlraum verlaufenden Trennschnitt aufweist. Durch den Trennschnitt lässt sich von der Unterseite die Kopf- oder Körperauflage aufklappen, so dass die Federelemente problemlos in den oder die Hohlräume des Kissens oder der Matratze eingelegt werden können. Nach dem Einlegen der Federelemente können dann die sich gegenüber liegenden Schnittflächen des Trennschnittes miteinander verklebt werden. Alternativ dazu ist auch ein Trennschnitt zur Herstellung eines Einlageoberteiles und Einlageunterteiles denkbar.It has also proven to be advantageous that the introduction of the spring elements in the insert of the head or body support is facilitated by the fact that the foam body has a running from the bottom to the cavity separation section. Due to the separating cut, the head or body support can be unfolded from the underside so that the spring elements can be easily inserted into the cavity or cavities of the pillow or mattress. After inserting the spring elements then the opposite cut surfaces of the separating cut can be glued together. Alternatively, a separating cut for producing an insert upper part and insert lower part is also conceivable.
Eine weitere Variante des Einbringens der Federelemente in die Hohlräume des Kissens bzw. der Matratze sieht vor, dass zwischen Federelement und innerer Oberfläche des Hohlraumes im Schaumstoffkörper eine Kunststofffolie angeordnet ist. Diese Kunststofffolie kann beispielsweise schlauchartig ausgebildet sein, und vor dem Einbringen der Federelemente in die kanalartigen Hohlräume außen über letztere herüber gezogen werden. Durch die geringe Reibung zwischen glatter Kunststofffolie und der Innenwandung des Schaumstoffkörpers lassen sich dann die streifenförmig zusammengesetzten Federelemente problemlos in den Hohlraum einschieben oder einziehen.A further variant of the introduction of the spring elements into the cavities of the pad or the mattress provides that a plastic film is arranged between the spring element and the inner surface of the cavity in the foam body. This plastic film may for example be formed like a tube, and pulled over the latter before the introduction of the spring elements in the channel-like cavities on the outside. Due to the low friction between the smooth plastic film and the inner wall of the foam body then the strip-shaped composite spring elements can be easily inserted or retract into the cavity.

Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, wenn infolge der Druckbelastung sich die Oberfläche des Schaumstoffkörpers 3 leicht eindrückt, die Federelemente 5 derart entgegenwirken, so dass die Hohlräume 4 mit einem gewissen Querschnitt offen gehalten werden, so dass eine Belüftung des Kissenkerns ermöglicht wird. Dadurch wird eine Wärmestaubildung im Auflagebereich unterbunden und eine Schweißbildung im Kopfbereich verringert. Infolge des sich bewegenden Kopfes auf dem blockartigen Schaumstoffkörper 3 ergeben sich ändernde Querschnittsverhältnisse im Bereich der Hohlräume bzw. des Hohlraumes 4, so dass bei Wenden des Kopfes beispielsweise eine Luftbewegung in den Hohlräumen bzw. in dem Hohlraum 4 stattfindet, und es zu einem Luftaustausch kommt. Darüber hinaus wird sichergestellt, dass eine natürliche Belüftung des Kissenkerns dadurch möglich ist.It goes without saying that if, as a result of the pressure load, the surface of the
In Weiterbildung der Kopf- oder Körperunterlage sind der oder die Hohlräume 4 aus Kanälen gebildet, die sich quer zur Liegerichtung erstrecken. Dabei ist der jeweilige Kanal zu den Seitenwänden 6.1 und 6.2 des blockartigen Schaumstoffkörpers 3 geöffnet ausgebildet. Somit ist gewährleistet, dass ein direkter Luftaustausch sowie eine Feuchtigkeitsabgabe zwischen dem Kissenkern und der Umgebung stattfinden kann. Wie insbesondere in den

Zu beachten ist dabei, dass der Querschnitt der kanalartig ausgestalteten Hohlräume 14 unterschiedlich gewählt worden ist, wobei die jeweils in den Hohlräumen 14 angeordneten Federelemente 15 in ihrer Größe entsprechend angepasst worden sind. Die unterschiedliche Größe der Federelemente 15 ermöglicht eine verschiedene Härteeinstellung des jeweiligen Kissenbereiches, wobei in aller Regel der größere Querschnitt eine etwas härtere Federeigenschaft der Federelemente 15 mit sich bringt. Natürlich ist eine unterschiedliche Härteausgestaltung der entsprechenden Kissenbereiche zusätzlich durch die Möglichkeit gegeben, dass für die Werkstoffauswahl der Federelemente 15 unterschiedliche Kunststoffe Verwendung finden.It should be noted that the cross section of the channel-like configured

Die Breite der Federoberteile 16 ist entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung breiter gewählt, als die der Federunterteile 19, so dass sich eine entsprechende breitere Auflagefläche ergibt und sich damit das Auflagegefühl für einen auf dem Kissen aufliegenden Kopf verbessert.The width of the spring tops 16 is chosen to be wider according to an advantageous embodiment, as the spring

Es handelt sich dabei zum einen um eine Aufnahme 21, die in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel im Wesentlichen rechteckförmig ausgebildet ist und quer zur Längserstreckung des Federunterteiles 19 angeordnet ist. Zur Verbindungsvorrichtung 20 gehört ferner eine Verbindungszunge 22, die in den Hohlraum der Aufnahme 21 einschiebbar ist. Die Verbindungszunge 22 ist dabei an demjenigen Federunterteil 19a angeordnet, welches auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite des Federelementes 15 befindlich ist, so dass jeweils zwei benachbarte Federelemente 15 miteinander koppelbar sind.These are on the one hand to a

Zum einen hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn die Federelementreihe in eine schlauchartig ausgebildete Kunststofffolie eingebettet wird, mit deren Hilfe die Reibungskräfte zwischen dem Federelement und der Innenseite des das Federelement aufnehmenden Hohlraumes 14 herabgesetzt wird. Bei der Montage der Federelemente innerhalb der Hohlräume 14 wird somit die Federelementreihe in die Kunststofffolie eingelegt und die üblicherweise überstehenden freien Enden des Kunststofffolienschlauches dann mittels geeigneter Haltemittel durch den kanalartigen Hohlraum 14 hindurch gezogen, wobei die Federelemente 15 gleichzeitig in den Hohlraum eingezogen werden.On the one hand, it has proven to be expedient if the spring element row is embedded in a hose-like plastic film, with the help of which the frictional forces between the spring element and the inside of the spring
Eine andere Möglichkeit der Einbringung der Federelemente 15 in den Hohlraum 14 des Kissens besteht darin, den Schaumstoffkörper 3 mit einem von der Unterseite des Schaumstoffkörpers 3 zum jeweiligen Hohlraum 15 verlaufenden Trennschnitt 23 zu versehen. Durch den parallel zur Längserstreckung des Hohlraumes 15 verlaufenden Trennschnitt lässt sich die Unterseite des Schaumstoffkörpers 3 aufklappen, was die Einlage der Federelemente in den Hohlraum 14 des Schaumstoffkörpers 3 ermöglicht. Nach Einlage der Federelemente 15 können anschließend die sich gegenüber liegenden Schnittflächen des Trennschnittes 23 miteinander verklebt werden.Another possibility of introducing the
