Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratze nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a mattress according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Matratze, mit einem Taschenfederkern, dessen eingetaschte Federn in ihrer Höhe relativ gering dimensioniert sind und der beidseitig von einer Deckschicht überdeckt ist, insbesondere aus einem Vlies, dient in Funktion als Schlafunterlage, die nach Gebrauch an einem geeigneten Ort verstaut wird. Um einen kleinstmöglichen Stauraum zu beanspruchen, soll die Matratze gefaltet oder gerollt werden.Such a mattress, with a pocket spring core whose eingetaschte springs are relatively small in height and which is covered on both sides by a cover layer, in particular a nonwoven, serves in function as a sleeping pad, which is stowed after use in a suitable place. To claim the smallest possible storage space, the mattress should be folded or rolled.

Eine Faltung, gleichermaßen ein Aufrollen der Matratze ist jedoch insofern problematisch und kann nicht in dem gewünschten Maße erfolgen, als die aus Stahl bestehenden schraubenförmig gewundenen Federn relativ starr sind.However, folding, as well as rolling up the mattress, is problematic in that respect and can not be done to the extent desired when the helical coil springs made of steel are relatively rigid.

Damit bleibt die gefaltete Matratze aufgrund des großen Abstands der gebildeten Lagen zueinander verhältnismäßig großvolumig. Die so vorliegende Matratze ist nur erschwert zu handhaben, zumal die innewohnenden Rückstellkräfte einer Beibehaltung der gefalteten Lage entgegenwirken.Thus, the folded mattress remains due to the large distance of the layers formed relatively large volume each other. The present mattress is difficult to handle, especially since the inherent restoring forces counteract maintaining the folded position.

Überdies muss für die insoweit großvolumige gefaltete oder gerollte Matratze ein entsprechender Stauraum zur Verfügung gestellt werden, der vielfach nicht zur Verfügung steht bzw. nur unter Inkaufnahme entsprechender Möblierungsveränderungen.Moreover, a corresponding storage space must be made available for the so far large-volume folded or rolled mattress, which is often not available or only at the cost of appropriate furnishing changes.

In der DE 87 14 690 U1 ist eine Matratze offenbart, deren Federkern aus einer Vielzahl von Federn besteht, von denen mehrere jeweils in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordnet in Zellen positioniert sind, die aus Zellwänden bestehen, die wiederum durch Zwischenwände voneinander getrennt sind. Ein Kopfteil, ein Mittelteil und ein Fußteil sind dabei scharnierartig miteinander verbunden.In the DE 87 14 690 U1 discloses a mattress whose spring core consists of a plurality of springs, a plurality of which are each arranged in a row one behind the other in cells are arranged, which consist of cell walls, which in turn are separated by partitions. A head part, a middle part and a foot part are hinged together.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Matratze der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiterzuentwickeln, dass ihre Verwendungsfähigkeit und ihre Handhabung verbessert wird.The invention has for its object to further develop a mattress of the generic type so that their usefulness and handling is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Matratze mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a mattress having the features of claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung wenigstens eines Faltbereiches, der sich von einem Rand der Matratze zum anderen erstreckt, besteht nun die Möglichkeit, die Matratze so zu falten, dass die einzelnen Lagen unmittelbar aufeinander liegen.The inventive design of at least one folding area extending from one edge of the mattress to the other, it is now possible to fold the mattress so that the individual layers are directly adjacent to each other.

Hierdurch wird ein kleinstmögliches Stauvolumen erreicht, das es erlaubt, die Matratze auch in beengten räumlichen Verhältnissen zu deponieren.As a result, the smallest possible storage volume is achieved, which allows the mattress to be deposited even in cramped spatial conditions.

Überdies ist die Handhabung sowohl beim Falten wie auch bei der anschließenden Unterbringung, gegenüber einer Matratze nach dem Stand der Technik, wesentlich einfacher, wobei durch die Faltbereiche, von denen bevorzugt mehrere, parallel und abständig zueinander angeordnet sind, keine Rückstellkräfte wirksam sind, so dass die gefaltete Matratze in ihrer Position selbsttätig verharrt.Moreover, the handling both during folding as well as in the subsequent placement, compared to a mattress according to the prior art, much easier, with the folding areas, of which preferably several, are arranged parallel and distant to each other, no restoring forces are effective, so that the folded mattress remains in position automatically.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, im Faltbereich den Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Federsträngen zu vergrößern, wobei die beiden, die Ober- und Unterseiten bildenden Deckschichten die Verbindung zwischen den dem Faltbereich benachbarten Bereichen bilden.According to the invention, it is provided to increase the distance between two adjacent spring strands in the fold region, wherein the two cover layers forming the upper and lower sides form the connection between the regions adjacent to the fold region.

Der Abstand zwischen den getrennt zueinander positionierten Federsträngen, die vorzugsweise quer zur Längserstreckung der Matratze verlaufen, ist so dimensioniert, dass die beiden benachbarten, jedoch voneinander getrennten Federstränge in gefalteter Stellung aufeinander liegen.The distance between the separately positioned spring strands, which preferably extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of the mattress, is dimensioned so that the two adjacent, but separated spring strands are in a folded position to each other.

Bei einer solchen Anordnung der Federstränge kann, nach einem weiteren Gedanken der Erfindung der jeweilige Faltbereich dadurch hergestellt sein, dass eine der die Federn umhüllenden Tasche ungefüllt bleibt, d.h., dass darin keine Feder untergebracht ist.With such an arrangement of the spring strands, according to a further aspect of the invention, the respective fold region may be made by leaving one of the pockets enveloping the springs unfilled, that is with no spring housed therein.

Um eine Faltung der Matratze quer zur Längserstreckung zu ermöglichen, entfällt bei allen nebeneinander liegenden Federsträngen an gleicher Stelle die Einbringung einer Feder.In order to allow a folding of the mattress transversely to the longitudinal extent, the introduction of a spring is omitted at all juxtaposed spring strands at the same place.

Dabei kann aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen eine vorhandene Tasche leer bleiben, denkbar ist aber auch, in diesem Faltbereich keine Tasche auszubilden, sondern den Zwischenraum quasi als Steg zu gestalten.In this case, for manufacturing reasons, an existing bag remain empty, but it is also conceivable not to form a pocket in this folding area, but to make the space virtually as a bridge.

Bevorzugt ist dabei dieser Steg oder die leere Tasche, bezogen auf die Höhe des Federstrangs, in einem Teilabschnitt aufgetrennt, so dass eine einwandfreie und leichte Faltung möglich ist, bei der dann die einander zugeordneten eingetaschten Federn eines Federstrangs aufeinander liegen.Preferably, this web or the empty pocket, based on the height of the spring strand, separated in a subsection, so that a perfect and easy folding is possible in which then the mutually associated eingetaschten springs of a spring strand lie on each other.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

verschiedene Ausführungsvarianten einer erfindungsgemäßen Matratze in unterschiedlichen Ansichten.
Show it:
FIGS. 1 to 4
various embodiments of a mattress according to the invention in different views.

In der Figur 1 ist in perspektivischer Ansicht eine Matratze dargestellt, mit einem Federkern 1, der beidseitig jeweils von einer Deckschicht 4 überdeckt ist.In the FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mattress shown, with a spring core 1, which is covered on both sides in each case by a cover layer 4.

Der Federkern 1 besteht aus mehreren, nebeneinander liegenden Federsträngen 2, mit hintereinander angeordneten, in eine textile Umhüllung eingetaschten Federn 3, insbesondere aus Metall, vorzugsweise aus Stahl, wobei die Federn 3 als Schraubenfedern ausgebildet sind.The spring core 1 consists of several juxtaposed spring strands 2, arranged with successively, eingetaschten in a textile sheath springs 3, in particular of metal, preferably made of steel, wherein the springs 3 are formed as coil springs.

Die Federstränge 2 sind nicht unmittelbar miteinander verbunden, sondern durch die Deckschichten 4, die beispielsweise aus einem Vlies bestehen können und mit den Federsträngen 2 verklebt sind.The spring strands 2 are not directly connected to each other, but by the cover layers 4, which may for example consist of a nonwoven and are glued to the spring strands 2.

Bei den in den Figuren dargestellten Matratzen sind die Federstränge 2 quer zur Längserstreckung der Matratze verlaufend angeordnet, wobei die Länge der Matratze mit L und die Breite mit B angegeben ist.In the mattresses shown in the figures, the spring strands 2 are arranged transversely to the longitudinal extent of the mattress, wherein the length of the mattress with L and the width is indicated by B.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist mindestens ein sich von einem Rand des Federkerns 1 bzw. der Deckschichten 4 zum anderen erstreckender Faltbereich 5 vorgesehen.According to the invention, at least one folding area 5 extending from one edge of the spring core 1 or the cover layers 4 to the other is provided.

Bei den gezeigten Beispielen wird der Faltbereich 5 dadurch gebildet, dass zwischen zwei benachbarten Federsträngen 2 ein vergrößerter Abstand X gewählt ist, der in der Figur 2, die eine Seitenansicht der Matratze wiedergibt, deutlich erkennbar ist.In the examples shown, the folding area 5 is formed by the fact that between two adjacent spring strands 2, an enlarged distance X is selected, which in the FIG. 2 , which reproduces a side view of the mattress, is clearly visible.

Dabei ist dieser Abstand X so gewählt, dass nach einer Faltung der Matratze, wie sie in der Figur 3 als Mehrfachfaltung erkennbar ist, die den Abstand X begrenzenden Federstränge 2 übereinander liegen. Im Übrigen sind die zum Einsatz kommenden Federn 3 in ihrer Höhe relativ gering gehalten, so dass der Abstand X, daran angepasst, relativ schmal ausgebildet sein kann.In this case, this distance X is chosen so that after a folding of the mattress, as in the FIG. 3 can be seen as a multiple folding, the distance X bounding spring strands 2 are superimposed. Incidentally, the springs 3 used are kept relatively low in their height, so that the distance X, adapted thereto, can be made relatively narrow.

In der Figur 4 ist in schematischer Ansicht ein mit Deckschichten 4 belegter Federkern 1 dargestellt, dessen Federstränge 2 in Längsrichtung L verlaufen. Zur Faltung der Matratze quer zur Längserstreckung, entsprechend dem abgebildeten Faltbereich 5, dessen Begrenzung strichpunktiert dargestellt ist, weist jeder Federstrang 2 mehrere größere Abstände X auf. Dabei können diese Abstände X aus nicht mit Federn befüllten Taschen bestehen oder als Stege 7 aus dem die Federn 3 umhüllenden Tuch gebildet sein.In the FIG. 4 is shown in a schematic view occupied with cover layers 4 spring core 1, the spring strands 2 extend in the longitudinal direction L. For folding the mattress transversely to the longitudinal extent, corresponding to the illustrated folding area 5, whose boundary is shown in phantom, each spring strand 2 has a plurality of larger distances X. These distances X may consist of not filled with feathers bags or be formed as webs 7 of the feathers 3 enveloping cloth.

Auch hier ist die Breite der Abstände X entsprechend der Höhe der Federn 3 bemessen.Again, the width of the distances X is sized according to the height of the springs 3.

Zur Ausbildung des Faltbereiches 5 sind hierbei die Deckschichten 4 über die Breite, also von einem Rand zum anderen aufgetrennt, so dass ein Schlitz 6 gebildet ist.To form the fold region 5, the cover layers 4 are here separated over the width, that is to say from one edge to the other, so that a slot 6 is formed.

Um eine Mehrfachfaltung, entsprechend der Figur 5 zu ermöglichen, sind die ober- und unterseitigen Deckschichten 4 versetzt zueinander mit einem Schlitz 6 versehen, wobei der Abstand zwischen beiden Schlitzen 6 der Breite des gefalteten Matratzenblocks entspricht.In order to enable multiple folding, as shown in FIG. 5, the top and bottom cover layers 4 are offset from one another with a slot 6, the distance between the two slots 6 corresponding to the width of the folded mattress block.

In der Figur 6 schließlich ist in schematischer Ansicht ein mit Deckschichten 4 belegter Federkern 1 dargestellt, dessen Federstränge 2 in Längsrichtung L verlaufen. Zur Faltung der Matratze quer zur Längserstreckung, entsprechend dem abgebildeten Faltbereich 5, dessen Begrenzung strichpunktiert dargestellt ist, weist jeder Federstrang 2 mehrere größere Abstände X auf. Dabei können diese Abstände X aus nicht mit Federn befüllten Taschen bestehen oder als Stege 7 aus dem die Federn 3 umhüllenden Tuch gebildet sein.Finally, FIG. 6 shows, in a schematic view, a spring core 1 covered with cover layers 4, whose spring strands 2 extend in the longitudinal direction L. For folding the mattress transversely to the longitudinal extent, corresponding to the illustrated folding area 5, whose boundary is shown in phantom, each spring strand 2 has several larger distances X. These distances X may consist of not filled with feathers bags or be formed as webs 7 of the feathers 3 enveloping cloth.

Auch hier ist die Breite der Abstände X entsprechend der Höhe der Federn 3 bemessen.Again, the width of the distances X is sized according to the height of the springs 3.
