Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mattress, which is adapted to better achieve some aims and objects which are exhaustively explained below.
  • the invention moreover relates to defining the characteristics of the machine by way of which it is possible to produce the improved mattress.
  • Mattresses are currently produced in a plurality of different manners by using different materials.
  • each mattress is generally provided with handles, fixed on its lateral edge, the purpose of which is to facilitate gripping by operators.
  • the number of handles provided on each mattress is comprised between 2 and 4 so as to simplify its production, at the same time preventing its aesthetic appearance from being compromised.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a mattress that ensures an easy and secure grip for the operator charged with its transport.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a mattress that has the same appearance as a conventional mattress without handles.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a machine for the production of a mattress which makes it possible to industrially produce a mattress.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a mattress and a machine for its production which are low-cost, relatively easily and practically implemented and safe in application.
  • a mattress of the type comprising an outer case made of a material substantially of the textile type for an internal block made of deformable material, characterized in that it comprises, along at least one portion of the perimetric lateral band of said case, at least one ribbon, which is firmly associated with said respective portion along connecting lines which are not parallel to the longitudinal axis of said ribbon, between said ribbon, said portion of the perimetric lateral band of said case and said connecting lines at least one seat being defined which is adapted to accommodate respective gripping means, including the fingers of an operator, during the transport of said mattress.
  • a machine for the production of a mattress of the type comprising a fixed frame designed to support a sliding surface for portions of laminar material to be sewn together, characterized in that it comprises at least two sewing heads which are integral with a respective support, arranged substantially in a cantilever manner on said sliding surface and integral with said fixed frame, the active tab, provided with at least one element of the type of a needle, of each head being translationally moveable on command along at least one predefined direction with respect to said sliding surface.
  • a mattress is generally designated with the reference numeral 1 and a machine for its production is generally designated with the reference numeral 2.
  • the mattress 1 comprises an outer case 3 made of a material substantially of the textile type for an internal block 4 made of deformable material.
  • the outer case 3 can be any element designed to cover the internal block 4.
  • the case thus can have the form of a containment envelope for the block 4 or it can be constituted by a plurality of components (generally of the textile type) which are mutually associated by means of removable connections and/or stitching to delimit an inner space of a shape and size which are complementary to the shape and size of the block 4 so as to stably accommodate it.
  • the internal block 4 is generally made of polymeric foam, latex, or successive layers of springs and sheets of different materials. The possibility is not excluded of adopting panels constituted exclusively by natural materials such as fibers, wool, cotton and the like.
  • the mattress 1 comprises, along at least a portion of the perimetric lateral band 5 of the case 4 (which in such case is constituted by a plurality of components (generally of the textile type) which are mutually associated by means of removable connections and/or stitching to delimit an inner space of a shape and size which are complementary to the shape and size of the block 4 so as to stably accommodate it), at least one ribbon 6 which is stably associated with the corresponding portion of the band 5.
  • the perimetric lateral band 5 of the case 4 which in such case is constituted by a plurality of components (generally of the textile type) which are mutually associated by means of removable connections and/or stitching to delimit an inner space of a shape and size which are complementary to the shape and size of the block 4 so as to stably accommodate it
  • at least one ribbon 6 which is stably associated with the corresponding portion of the band 5.
  • the ribbons 6 are two in number, arranged substantially along the edges of the perimetric lateral band 5, substantially proximate to the edges of the case 3 at which there is the connection between the perimetric lateral band 5 and one of the two larger faces 10 of the mattress 1 (the face 10 is generally, but not exclusively, constituted by a quilted cloth or by a set of sheets made of a textile and/or fibrous and/or polymeric material).
  • connecting lines 7 which are substantially perpendicular to the axis 8 it will be possible to also provide a plurality of contiguous trapezoid cavities (in general the possibility is not excluded of using the shape of a rectangle, of a square or of any other irregular polygon, including those which have at least one curvilinear side).
  • connecting lines 7 are curved it will be possible to provide seats 9 with any shape, curvilinear or mixed. This will also make it possible to obtain a decoration of the mattresses 1 by the arrangement of the ribbon 6 (or ribbons 6) and its successive coupling with the band 5 along the most suitable connecting lines 7.
  • the ribbon 6, is stably coupled to the perimetric lateral band 5 of the case 3 by means of a further auxiliary connecting line 11, the orientation and direction of which are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 8 of the ribbon 6.
  • the connecting lines 7, which are not parallel to the longitudinal axis 8 of the ribbon 6, and the auxiliary connecting line 11 there is the at least one seat 9 with a shape of the type of a pocket, which has a single opening adapted for the insertion and accommodation of respective grip means during the transport of the mattress 1.
  • auxiliary connecting line 11 ensures that the seat 7 is not a through seat but is closed on the bottom to delimit a sort of pocket.
  • the present invention relates to both solutions, relating to the open seats 9 and to the closed, pocket-shaped seats 9.
  • the pocket-shaped seats 9 of the two ribbons 6 that face each other and are each stably associated with the perimetric lateral band 5 of the outer case 3 are mutually aligned and arranged so that the respective openings and inner cavities face each other.
  • Such arrangement gives the mattress 1 a particularly pleasing appearance and, at the same time, facilitates transport operations since the perfect correspondence of the seats 9 arranged proximate to mutually opposite edges enables the operator charged with the transport to rapidly identify the position of each seat 9 even if he or she cannot see it (he or she can in fact estimate its position as a function of the position of the seats proximate to it and/or facing it which are in his or her field of view, and this will enable him or her to insert his or her fingers in the seat 9 quickly and intuitively, obtaining an optimal grip).
  • the connecting lines 7, which are not parallel to the longitudinal axis 8 of the ribbon 6, and the additional auxiliary connecting line 11 are lines of stitches.
  • Such lines of stitches can have a pattern selected from linear, curvilinear, mixed, zigzag and according to a particular decorative design, to best meet the aesthetic and functional requirements.
  • the operators can thus use the seats 9 as grips in which to insert their fingers in order to stably hold the mattress 1.
  • the facing arrangement of the mutually opposite seats 9 of the two ribbons 6 will facilitate the transport operations in narrow places since the operator does not necessarily have to see the seat 9 into which he or she inserts his or her fingers. It will be sufficient to see the opposite ribbon 6 in order to estimate exactly the position of the corresponding seat 9 in the ribbon 6 in which the seat 9 of interest is provided.
  • the distribution of the seats 9 along all the perimetric edges of the mattress 11 moreover enables the operator to firmly grip the mattress 1 independently of his or her position with respect to the mattress 1, thus allowing the transport and also the easy passage in inconvenient and tight paths.
  • the machine 1 for the production of the mattress 1 comprises a fixed frame 12 designed to support a sliding surface 13 for portions of laminar material to be sewn together.
  • Such machine 2 comprises at least two sewing heads 14 which are integral with a respective support 15, which is arranged substantially in a cantilever manner on the sliding surface 13 and is integral with the fixed frame 12.
  • each head 14 is translationally moveable on command along at least one predefined direction with respect to the sliding surface 13.
  • the translational movements of the tab 16 make it possible to provide linear (or curved or mixed or zigzag) lines of stitching for the mutual connection of the ribbon 6 to the band 5.
  • the two heads 14 are identical, arranged parallel to each other and mounted on respective supports 15 of different lengths (or with supports 15 coupled to the frame 12 in different positions).
  • Such supports 15 are in any case connected to the same side of of the frame 12 with respect to the sliding surface 13, for the substantial alignment of the respective active tabs 16 with a portion of the sliding surface at the lateral edges thereof.
  • the two heads 14 are identical, arranged along incident directions and mounted on respective supports 15 which are connected to opposite sides of the frame 12 with respect to the sliding surface 13.
  • one head 14 is mounted in an inclined position, whereas the other head is perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the fabrics to be sewn on the surface 13.
  • the function of the inclined head 14 is to make it possible to obtain a line of stitching along the standard direction of advancement of the fabrics to be coupled (forward stitching).
  • forward stitching the perpendicularity to the direction of advancement also of the second head 14 would result in having to make the second head 14 operate in reverse (“backward stitching"): such operation is very complex and often inapplicable (especially with high stitching speeds).
  • the two heads 14 are symmetrical to each other with particular reference to a symmetry with respect to a longitudinal plane.
  • the two heads 14 (which for convenience can be called a "right” head and a “left” head in order to highlight their different and mutually symmetrical shapes) will be mutually aligned with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry and will be mounted on respective supports 15 which are associated with opposite sides of the frame 12 with respect to the sliding surface 13.
  • This embodiment although it allows a corresponding simplicity of production and is very compact, involves the difficulty of sourcing heads 14 that are symmetrical to each other and adapted to ensure optimal operation and good reliability, especially in relation to low sourcing costs ("left" heads 14 are normally very expensive).
  • the improved mattress 1 according to the invention has the same appearance as a conventional mattress without handles and for this reason it meets all the aesthetic needs that limit the possibilities of this type of product, while still ensuring a considerable increase in convenience of transport.
  • the machine for the production of the mattress 1 makes it possible to industrially produce the mattress 1 in a simple and intuitive manner.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
