Description
Ergonomsko prilagodljiva blazinaErgonomically adjustable cushion
Izum v okviru življenjskih potrebščin spada na področje pohištva, namreč k stanovanjski opremi oz. priboru za gospodinjstvo, namreč k blazinam.The invention in the context of consumer goods belongs to the field of furniture, namely to home furnishings or furniture. household accessories, namely pillows.
Pri tem je izum osnovan na problemu, kako zasnovati univerzalno uporabljivo ter tako za izdelavo kot tudi za uporabo preprosto blazino, ki bo s hitro in preprosto pretvorbo svoje oblike v vsakokratnemu uporabniku prilagojeno in tudi razmeroma stabilno ergonomsko obliko zagotavljala udobno sedenje ali ležanje tudi med dolgotrajno uporabo.The invention is based on the problem of how to design a universally usable and simple and easy-to-create cushion for the user, which will be adapted to the individual user with a quick and easy conversion of its shape, and also provide a relatively stable ergonomic shape for comfortable sitting or lying even during prolonged periods. use.
Takoimenovana komfortna blazina, smiselno pa ergonomsko prilagodljiva blazina, je opisana v EP 1 507 469. Tovrstna blazina obsega večslojno ovojnico, s katero je obdan vmesni prostor, ki je vsaj deloma zapolnjen z granulatnim viskoelastičnim materialom, še zlasti iz poliuretanskih granul dolžine približno med 0,6 in 2 cm. Omenjen viskoelastičen material se je med uporabo blazine predvsem zahvaljujoč • · zmehčanju zaradi vpliva telesne temperature zmožen prilagoditi obremenitvam obliki telesa uporabnika, zaradi česar blazina med uporabo postopoma spreminja svojo obliko vse dotlej, dokler se njena oblika v ergonomskem smislu ne prilagodi obliki uporabnikovega telesa. Zaradi omenjene večplastnosti je prenos toplote z uporabnikovega telesa v notranjost blazine do omenjenih granul iz viskoelastičnega materiala otežen in poteka počasi in postopno, zato je tudi prilagajanje oblike blazine postopno in počasno. Na osnovi podatka o njihovi dolžini in tudi iz skice je možno sklepati, da gre za geometrijsko nepravilno oblikovane granule z izrazito dolžinsko dimenzijo in bolj ali manj naključnima širino in višino. Medsebojna premakljivost omenjenih granul je torej tudi zaradi njihove naključne oblike lahko razmeroma otežena vse dotlej, dokler zaradi vpliva telesne temperature ne postanejo dovolj plastificirani in primerni za preoblikovanje in eventualno potrebno prerazporejanje v notranjosti omenjene ovojnice tovrstne blazine.The so-called comfort cushion, and meaningfully ergonomically adjustable cushion, is described in EP 1 507 469. This cushion comprises a multilayer envelope that surrounds the intermediate space, which is at least partially filled with granular viscoelastic material, in particular of polyurethane granules approximately 0 in length. , 6 and 2 cm. The above viscoelastic material is able to adapt to the load on the body of the user during the use of the pillow, mainly due to • softening due to the influence of body temperature, which makes the pillow gradually change its shape during use until its shape is ergonomically adapted to the shape of the user's body. Due to said multilayer, the heat transfer from the user's body to the inside of the pillow to said granules of viscoelastic material is difficult and takes place slowly and gradually, so the adaptation of the pillow shape is gradual and slow. Based on their length and also from the sketch, it can be concluded that they are geometrically irregularly shaped granules with a distinct length dimension and more or less random width and height. Therefore, due to their random shape, the inter-movability of the said granules can be relatively difficult until they are sufficiently plasticized and suitable for transformation and, if necessary, redistribution within the said envelope of such a cushion.
Prijavitelju je nadalje znana komercialno dostopna napihljiva blazina, ki obsega ovojnico z ventilom, skozi katerega je možno notranjost omenjene blazine bodisi ozračiti ali odzračiti. Kadar je notranjost blazine ozračena do vsakokrat ustrezne vrednosti zračnega tlaka in je ventil zaprt, se po obremenitvi blazine z uporabnikovim telesom blazina s svojo obliko prilagodi obliki uporabnikovega telesa. Vendar pa je oblika tako zasnovane blazine razmeroma nestabilna in se pod vplivom zlasti transverzalnih sol, ki delujejo vsaj približno v smeri dominantne ravnine same blazine, oblika blazine zlahka in povsem neovirano spreminja, zaradi česar uporabnik npr. med vožnjo v vozilu ali med sedenjem ali ležanjem na nekoliko nagnjeni podlagi ali v drugih podobnih okoliščinah ni deležen potrebnega udobja in nima občutka, da je blazina ergonomsko prilagojena obliki in obremenitvam njegovega telesa.Applicant is further aware of a commercially available inflatable cushion comprising an envelope with a valve through which the inside of said cushion can be either vented or vented. When the inside of the cushion is ventilated to the appropriate air pressure value and the valve is closed, the cushion adapts to the shape of the wearer's body after the cushion is loaded with the user's body. However, the shape of the cushion designed in this way is relatively unstable, and under the influence of especially transversal salts acting at least approximately in the direction of the dominant plane of the cushion itself, the cushion shape is easily and completely unobstructed, making the user e.g. while in the vehicle or sitting or lying on a slightly inclined surface or in other similar circumstances, he is not comfortable and does not feel that the pillow is ergonomically adapted to the shape and load of his body.

Izum se nanaša na ergonomsko prilagodljivo blazino, ki obsega gibko in plinotesno ovojnico z ventilom za omogočanje ozračevanja ali odzračevanja z omenjeno ovojnico obdanega prostora v notranjosti omenjene blazine, kot tudi z granulatnim polnilom, kije na voljo v notranjosti omenjene ovojnice.The invention relates to an ergonomically adjustable cushion, comprising a flexible and gas-tight envelope with a valve for providing ventilation or venting with said envelope of the enclosed space inside said cushion, as well as with a granular filler available inside said envelope.
Po izumu je predvideno, da je omenjeno granulatno polnilo zasnovano kot sipko polnilo, ki sestoji iz med seboj po velikosti in obliki vsaj približno enakih kroglastih granul iz termoplastičnega polimernega materiala, katerega trdnost in trdota sta v temperaturnem območju regularne uporabe blazine in še zlasti v območju uporabnikove telesne temperature praktično nespremenljivi. Omenjene kroglaste granule polnila sestojijo iz materiala, kije izbran iz skupine, ki ga tvorijo penjen polipropilen, penjen polietilen in drugi termoplastični materiali na osnovi polimerov s podobnimi oz. primerljivimi fizikalnimi lastnostmi. Premer vsake izmed kroglastih granul polnila znaša od 0,2 mm do 10 mm, še zlasti pa od 1 mm do 2 mm. Prostornina vsakokrat razpoložljivega polnila znaša od vsaj približno 25% do največ približno 75% največje možne prostornine z ovojnico obdanega prostora (v notranjosti blazine.According to the invention it is contemplated that said granular filler is designed as a granular filler, consisting of each other in size and shape of at least approximately the same spherical granules of thermoplastic polymeric material, whose strength and hardness are in the temperature range of regular use of the cushion, and in particular in the range the user's body temperature is practically constant. Said spherical granules of filler consist of a material selected from the group consisting of foamed polypropylene, foamed polyethylene and other thermoplastic materials based on polymers with similar or. comparable physical properties. The diameter of each of the spherical granules of filler ranges from 0.2 mm to 10 mm, and in particular from 1 mm to 2 mm. The volume of fill available at all times ranges from at least about 25% to not more than about 75% of the maximum volume with the envelope enclosed (inside the cushion).
Izum bo v nadaljevanju podrobneje obrazložen s primeri izvedbe na osnovi priložene skice, kjer kažejoThe invention will now be explained in further detail by way of exemplary embodiments based on the accompanying drawing, where they are shown

Sl. 3 blazino v prerezu v ravnini A - A po Sl. 1 v ozračenem stanju;FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the pillow in the plane A - A of FIG. 1 in irradiated state;
Sl. 4 pa blazino v prerezu v taisti ravnini A - A po Sl. 1, vendar v odzračenem stanju.FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the pillow in the same plane A - A according to FIG. 1 but in the vented state.
Prvi primer izvedbe ergonomsko prilagodljive blazine po izumu je prikazan na Sl. 1, značilen pa je po krožni obliki oboda dominantne ravnine. Nadaljnji primer izvedbe blazine, katere obod dominantne ravnine je ortogonalno oblikovan, je ponazorjen na Sl. 2.The first embodiment of an ergonomically adjustable cushion according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1, characterized by the circular shape of the circumference of the dominant plane. A further embodiment of a cushion whose circumference of the dominant plane is orthogonally shaped is illustrated in FIG. 2.
V obeh omenjenih primerih blazina obsega gibko in plinotesno ovojnico 1 z ventilom 2 za omogočanje ozračevanja ali odzračevanja z omenjeno ovojnico 1 obdanega prostora 10 v notranjosti omenjene blazine, razen tega pa tudi granulatno polnilo 3, kije na voljo v notranjosti omenjene ovojnice 1.In both cases, the cushion comprises a flexible and gas-tight envelope 1 with a valve 2 for allowing ventilation or venting with said envelope 1 of the enclosed space 10 inside said cushion, in addition to the granular fill 3 available inside said envelope 1.
Po izumu je omenjeno granulatno polnilo 3 zasnovano kot sipko polnilo 3, ki sestoji iz med seboj po velikosti in obliki vsaj približno enakih kroglastih granul 30 iz termoplastičnega polimernega materiala, katerega trdnost in trdota sta v temperaturnem območju regularne uporabe blazine in še zlasti v območju uporabnikove telesne temperature praktično nespremenljivi.According to the invention, said granular filler 3 is designed as a granular filler 3, consisting of at least about the same size and shape of globular granules 30 of thermoplastic polymeric material, whose strength and hardness are in the temperature range of regular use of the cushion, and in particular in the wearer's area body temperatures are virtually unchanging.
Omenjene kroglaste granule 30 polnila 3 prednostno sestojijo iz materiala, ki je izbran iz skupine, ki ga tvorijo penjen polipropilen, penjen polietilen in drugi termoplastični materiali na osnovi polimerov s podobnimi oz. primerljivimi fizikalnimi lastnostmi.Said spherical granules 30 of filler 3 preferably consist of a material selected from the group consisting of foamed polypropylene, foamed polyethylene and other thermoplastic materials based on polymers with similar or. comparable physical properties.
Za blazino po izumu je nadalje značilno, da premer vsake izmed kroglastih granul 30 polnila 3 znaša od 0,2 mm do 10 mm, še zlasti pa od 1 mm do 2 mm, pri čemer nadalje prostornina vsakokrat razpoložljivega polnila 3 znaša od vsaj približno 25% do največ približno 75% največje možne prostornine z ovojnico 1 obdanega prostora 10 v notranjosti blazine.The cushion according to the invention is further characterized by the diameter of each of the ball granules 30 of the filler 3 ranges from 0.2 mm to 10 mm, and in particular from 1 mm to 2 mm, the volume of the filler 3 available at each time being from at least about 25 % to a maximum of about 75% of the maximum volume with envelope 1 of enclosed space 10 inside the cushion.
Ko tako zasnovano blazino ozračimo, npr. z vpihavanjem zraka v notranjost 10 ovojnice 1 blazine skozi ventil 2, se v notranjosti ovojnice 1 blazine vzpostavi tlak, ki preoblikuje ovojnico 1 v glede na omenjen tlak in obod njene dominantne ravnine ustrezno obliko. Temu ustrezno se v skladu z zakonitostmi gravitacije razporedijo v notranjosti ovojnice 1 blazine nahajajoče se granule 30 polnila 3 (Sl. 3). Pri tem velja pripomniti, da se ozračevanje notranjosti 10 blazine lahko vrši bodisi prisilno, npr. z vpihovanjem zraka, po izbiri z motorno gnanim in po izbiri daljinsko upravljanim kompresorjem, ali pa na osnovi vzpostavitve podtlaka v njeni notranjosti, npr. s preoblikovanjem ovojnice 1 v smislu izotermnega povečanja njene prostornine, npr. z ročnim preoblikovanjem blazine.When a cushion is designed in this way, e.g. by blowing air into the inside 10 of the cushion envelope 1 through valve 2, a pressure is created inside the cushion envelope 1, which transforms the envelope 1 in relation to said pressure and the circumference of its dominant plane in an appropriate shape. Accordingly, according to the laws of gravity, they are arranged inside the envelope 1 of the cushion of the filled granule 30 of the filler 3 (Fig. 3). It should be noted that the irradiation of the inside 10 of the cushion can be done either forcedly, e.g. by blowing air, optionally with a motor-driven and optionally remotely operated compressor, or based on the establishment of a vacuum inside it, e.g. by reshaping envelope 1 in terms of an isothermal increase in its volume, e.g. by manually reshaping the pillow.
Ko uporabnik s svojim specifično oblikovanim telesom obremeni ovojnico 10 tako ozračene blazine, ventil 2 spočetka preprečuje izstop zraka iz notranjosti ovojnice 1 ozračene blazine, pri čemer se granule 30 razporedijo v skladu z zakoni gravitacije (Sl. 3). Ko pa zatem uporabnik, sicer še vedno obremenjujoč blazino po izumu, z ustreznim upravljanjem ventila 2 prične z odzračevanjem omenjene blazine, pri čemer s kontroliranim odpiranjem ventila 2 izpušča zrak iz notranjosti 10 ovojnice 1 blazine, se ovojnica 1 preoblikuje, namreč prilagodi obliki uporabnikovega telesa, pri čemer se granule 30 polnila 3 prerazporejajo na tak način, da se prilagodijo razmeram, namreč obliki in obremenitvam uporabnikovega telesa. Ko se ovojnica 1 blazine prilega obliki njegovega telesa (Sl. 4), po končanem odzračevanju in prilagajanju uporabnik zapre ventil 2, takrat pa so tudi granule 30 polnila 3 razporejene v vsakokrat preostalem volumnu prostora 10 v notranjosti ovojnice 1 blazine in odtlej v zadostni meri preprečujejo vsakršno nadaljnje spreminjanje oblike ovojnice 1, tako da je odtlej blazina znatno bolj odporna proti vplivom prečnih sil, ki delujejo v smeri njene dominantne ravnine. Iz navedenih razlogov je blazina ergonomsko prilagojena uporabnikovemu telesu in zagotavlja udobno sedenje oz. ležanje tudi med dolgotrajno uporabo in navzlic različnim vplivom, npr. med vožnjo.When the user with his specifically shaped body loads the envelope 10 of such a cushion, the valve 2 initially prevents the air from escaping from the inside of the cushion envelope 1, the granules 30 being arranged in accordance with the laws of gravity (Fig. 3). However, when the user, otherwise still loading the cushion according to the invention, properly vents the valve 2 by venting said cushion, and by controlling the opening of valve 2, it discharges air from inside 10 of the cushion envelope 1, the envelope 1 is transformed, namely, adapted to the shape of the user's body. , whereby the granules 30 of the filler 3 are rearranged in such a way as to adapt to the conditions, namely the shape and the loads of the user's body. When the envelope 1 of the cushion fits into the shape of its body (Fig. 4), after completing the venting and adjusting, the user closes the valve 2, and then the granules 30 of the filler 3 are arranged in each remaining volume of space 10 inside the envelope 1 of the cushion and from then on sufficiently prevents any further alteration of the shape of the envelope 1, so that the cushion is now considerably more resistant to the effects of transverse forces acting in the direction of its dominant plane. For these reasons, the cushion is ergonomically adapted to the wearer's body and provides comfortable seating or comfort. also lying between prolonged use and seemingly different influences, e.g. while driving.
