Method for custom assembling elastic cushion for sitting and lying of user

The application is a divisional application of the application application of which the application date is 2021, 08 and 31, the application number is 202111013257.7, and the application name is 'a method for customizing and assembling an elastic cushion for a user to sit and lie'.

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of furniture, in particular to a method for customizing and assembling an elastic cushion for a user to sit and lie.

Background

With the gradual increase of the life of people's substances, the demands of residents on household articles are also gradually changed. Especially for products requiring users to sit and lie for a long time, such as mattresses, sofa cushions, etc., the demands of users are not only increasing day by day, but also the demands tend to be diversified.

It should be noted that mattresses are clearly divided into high-end mattresses and low-end mattresses in the current home product market. Low-grade mattresses are generally thin in thickness and convenient to handle and store, but do not meet the comfort requirements of the user to some extent. The high-grade mattress is generally complex in internal structure, exquisite in craftwork and large in thickness, a user can feel excellent comfort performance when sitting and lying, the high-grade mattress is not detachable due to the complexity of the internal structure, the user can purchase the mattress which is necessarily integral and is not convenient to carry and store, and if part of parts of the high-grade mattress are aged, the user cannot maintain pertinently and can only discard integrally, so that certain waste is caused.

Moreover, the existing high-grade mattresses are all of an integrated structure, and a user cannot adjust the softness and hardness of the mattress, so that if the user wants to obtain multiple different experiences, the user needs to purchase multiple high-grade mattresses correspondingly. There is no high-end mattress currently available on the market that can be personalized to the user.

Accordingly, there is a need to provide a method of custom assembling an elastic pad for sitting and lying by a user that at least partially addresses the above-described problems.

Detailed Description

Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What has been described herein is merely a preferred embodiment according to the present invention, and other ways of implementing the invention will occur to those skilled in the art on the basis of the preferred embodiment, and are intended to fall within the scope of the invention as well.

The present invention provides a method of customizing and assembling an elastic cushion, such as a mattress, sofa cushion or other cushion for sitting and lying of a user. Figures 1-23 illustrate some preferred embodiments according to the present invention.

It should be noted that the directional terms and the positional terms mentioned in the present invention should be understood with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 23. Directional terms and positional terms referred to herein refer to the relative direction and position between the various components, and not to absolute direction and position.

Referring first to fig. 1, the elastic pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and hereinafter, the "longitudinal direction", the "transverse direction", and the "height direction" should be understood with reference to the rectangular parallelepiped structure shown in fig. 1, the longitudinal direction being indicated by D1, the transverse direction being indicated by D2, and the height direction being indicated by D3. For example, the track beams in the various preferred embodiments of the present invention extend in the transverse direction and are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. "left and right sides" of a component refer to the sides of the component in the transverse direction. In addition, the present invention also refers to the "circumferential direction", and it should be understood that the circumferential direction is not necessarily limited to a circular structure, and in the structure shown in fig. 1, the direction of the plane defined by the transverse direction D2 and the longitudinal direction D1 around the periphery of the elastic pad 100 is the circumferential direction.

Referring to fig. 1, the elastic pad 100 includes a housing 110 and at least one elastic cushion disposed in a closed receiving space defined by the housing 110. The housing 110 is configured to be detachable, and includes a top cover body 102, a bottom cover body 105, and side guards 109 integrally extending in the circumferential direction between the bottom cover body 105 and the top cover body 102. The side wall block 109 is detachably connected with the top cover 102 and the side wall block 109 is detachably connected with the bottom cover 105. For example, a slide fastener 101 extending entirely along the entire circumferential direction of the elastic pad is provided between the top cover 102 and the side stopper 109, and a slide fastener 101 extending entirely along the entire circumferential direction of the elastic pad is also provided between the bottom cover 105 and the side stopper 109.

Referring to fig. 2, at least one elastic cushion is removably accommodated in the cover 110. The elastic pad 100 of the present embodiment is characterized in that the elastic pad is configured to allow a user to select a desired type and/or a desired number of elastic pad layers, further select side barrier having a height adapted to the common lamination thickness of all selected elastic pad layers, and assemble the top cover body, the bottom cover body, the selected side barrier, and the selected elastic pad layers together to obtain the elastic pad.

The method of customizing and assembling an elastic pad provided in this embodiment may be first understood with reference to fig. 1 and 2, and the flow of the method is shown in fig. 23. Referring to fig. 1,2 and 23, the method includes obtaining a top cover body 102 and a bottom cover body 105, obtaining a required number of elastic cushion layers of a required type based on a hardness requirement, obtaining side fence 109 according to a size of an overall lamination height (an overall height of an elastic module layer, an elastic cushion layer) of all the obtained elastic cushion layers, connecting the top cover body 102 and the side fence 109, connecting the bottom cover body 105 and the side fence 109, and accommodating the selected elastic cushion layers in an accommodating space defined by the top cover body 102, the bottom cover body 105 and the side fence 109 together.

The step of obtaining the elastic cushion layer comprises obtaining at least one elastic buffer layer 103, obtaining an elastic module layer and/or obtaining an elastic balance net layer 104.

In the step of obtaining at least one of the elastic cushion layers 103, the user can select one or more elastic cushion layers from among several elastic cushion layers having different degrees of softness based on the hardness requirement thereof, and examples of several elastic cushion layers having different degrees of softness are given in fig. 4A to 4G. Further, the user can also select one or more elastic cushion layers from among elastic module layers mainly composed of elastic modules, elastic balance net layers, and the like. A combination of a plurality of elastic cushion layers is shown in fig. 2 and 3, which includes an elastic module layer, an elastic balancing mesh layer 104, and an elastic buffer layer 103 from bottom to top. The arrangement of the elastic module layers is shown in detail in fig. 5-19.

Since the elastic pad of the present invention allows the user to select the kinds and the number of the elastic module layers and the elastic cushion layer by himself, the overall lamination height of the elastic module layers and the elastic cushion layer is not necessarily constant. The pad is also fitted with a side wall of the housing 109 having a plurality of height dimensions for user selection. Based on this, the present invention provides a slide fastener 101 between the top cover 102 and the side stopper 109, and between the bottom cover 105 and the side stopper 109.

It should be noted that the provision of a zipper between the top cover and the side gusset is not conventional in the art, and that conventional mattress covers are typically provided with only one zipper even if a zipper is to be provided, which saves manufacturing steps and avoids the loss of the cover by breaking the cover into multiple pieces. Thus, for conventional mattress and other elastic cushions, it is preferable to provide no zipper or only one zipper, but two zippers, so that the outer cover can be split into three parts, which is a significantly degraded solution. Therefore, those skilled in the art have no incentive to modify conventional mattress covers to include zippers between the top cover and the side rails, and between the bottom cover and the side rails.

With continued reference to fig. 4A-4G, several elastic buffer layers having different degrees of softness are further described. Fig. 4A to 4G are views showing the arrangement of the elastic buffer layers in order from hard to soft. The elastic cushioning layers in fig. 4A-4G each include a nonwoven cloth cover structure 1034 and a three-layer structure covered by the cloth cover structure 1034. The third layer structure 1033 of the three layer structure has a higher hardness than the second layer structure 1032, and the second layer structure 1032 has a higher hardness than the first layer structure 1031.

The first layer structure 1031, the second layer structure 1032, and the third layer structure 1033 are each made of sponge.

In the elastic buffer 1034C shown in fig. 4C, the first layer structure 1031 is closest to the user, the third layer structure 1033 is farthest from the user, and the second layer structure 1032 is sandwiched between the first layer structure 1031 and the third layer structure 1033. The second and third layer structures 1032, 1033 are made of sponge, and the first layer structure 1031 is made of latex.

In the elastic buffer 1034D shown in fig. 4D, the first layer structure 1031 is closest to the user, the third layer structure 1033 is farthest from the user, and the second layer structure 1032 is sandwiched between the first layer structure 1031 and the third layer structure 1033. The second and third layer structures 1032, 1033 are made of sponge, and the first layer structure 1031 is made of egg sponge.

In the elastic buffer 1034E shown in fig. 4E, the first layer structure 1031 is closest to the user, the third layer structure 1033 is farthest from the user, and the second layer structure 1032 is sandwiched between the first layer structure 1031 and the third layer structure 1033. The first layer structure 1031, the second layer structure 1032, and the third layer structure 1033 are each made of sponge.

The first layer structure 1031 in fig. 4F and 4G employs animal hair. In the elastic buffer 1034F shown in fig. 4F, the first layer structure 1031 is closest to the user, the third layer structure 1033 is furthest from the user, and the second layer structure 1032 is sandwiched between the first layer structure 1031 and the third layer structure 1033. The second and third layer structures 1032, 1033 are made of sponge, and the first layer structure 1031 is made of duck.

In these several examples, the first layer structure is made of sponge, egg sponge, animal wool, or latex, and the second and third layer structures are made of sponge.

The user may desire one or more of the above-described exemplary elastic cushioning layers according to softness or hardness. Alternatively, the user may not select the elastic buffer layer, but only the elastic module layer and/or the balancing mesh layer.

Fig. 5 shows an example of acquiring an elastic module layer. The plurality of elastic modules 106 can be arranged in an array along a plane perpendicular to the height direction on the bottom mask body 105 installed in the accommodating space to constitute an elastic module layer. And, the springs in each elastic module are in a compressed state in the height direction. In the present embodiment, the elastic module is attached to the floor covering body 105, and therefore the elastic module layer and the floor covering body 105 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, however, the elastic module layer may be provided separately from the housing 110, and the elastic module layer may be integrally placed in the housing 110 or removed from the housing 110.

Returning to the present embodiment, the elastic module 106 is slidably mounted in place by rail beams 108 provided on the floor covering body 105, each rail beam 108 extending in the lateral direction. One specific implementation is shown in fig. 6-11.

Referring to fig. 6, each rail beam 108 is detachably mounted on the floor covering body 105 by a set of rail beam mounts 107, each set of rail beam mounts 107 being disposed at intervals from each other along the extending direction of its corresponding rail beam 108. Each set of rail beam mounts 107 is three, disposed at two ends and intermediate positions of rail beam 108, respectively.

The structure of each rail beam mount 107 is shown in fig. 7A. Each rail beam mounting member 107 is provided with a mounting member protruding portion protruding in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the rail beam 108 and parallel to the bottom surface cover 105 at the top thereof, and a recessed portion 1073 recessed in the longitudinal direction is formed below the protruding portion. In other words, each track beam 108 includes an upper structure 1071 and a lower structure 1072, the dimension of the upper structure 1071 in the longitudinal direction being greater than the dimension of the lower structure 1072 in the longitudinal direction, such that the longitudinal ends of the upper structure 1071 form mount protrusions relative to the lower structure 1072. The mounting tab and recess 1073 therebelow are adapted to mate with the rail beam 108.

With continued reference to fig. 7A, the bottom of the mounting tab is provided with an array of fixing bumps 1074, the fixing bumps 1074 being used to ultrasonically weld the mounting tab to the bottom cover 105.

A schematic view of the rail beam 108 after being slidably mounted in place in a transverse direction relative to the rail beam mount 107 is shown in fig. 8-9B. Referring to fig. 8-9B, the bottom of the rail beam 108 is provided with a mounting receptacle 1081 corresponding to a mounting member protrusion that is capable of mating with the mounting receptacle 1081 so that the rail beam 108 is capable of sliding in its own direction of extension relative to the rail beam mounting member 107 and being mounted in place. The mounting receptacle 1081 also actually forms a catch 1086 that snaps into the recess 1073 of the rail beam mount 107.

The main structure of the rail beam 108 (i.e., the structure for mating with the spring module 106) is also shown in fig. 9A and 9B. Each track beam 108 includes a support wall 1082 extending from a top side to a bottom side of the track beam 108, a top side engagement portion 1083, and a bottom side engagement portion 1085. The top side engaging portions 1083 are connected to the top side of the support wall 1082 and are respectively bent to the left and right sides of the support wall 1082 and downward, thereby forming two top side receiving portions 1084 opening downward at the top of the rail beam 108, and the bottom side engaging portions 1085 are connected to the bottom side of the support wall 1082 and are respectively bent to the left and right sides of the support wall 1082 and upward, thereby forming two bottom side receiving portions 1084 opening upward at the bottom of the rail beam 108.

Correspondingly, referring to fig. 10 and 11, each elastic module 106 includes a conical spring and a spring bracket 106 accommodating and holding the conical spring, both left and right sides of the spring bracket 106 have engagement protrusions 1061, the engagement protrusions 1061 protruding upward from a top surface of a bottom body of the spring bracket 106 and simultaneously protruding downward from a bottom surface of the bottom body of the spring bracket 106, so that the engagement protrusions 1061 can be simultaneously received by the accommodation portions 1084 of the top side and the accommodation portions 1084 of the bottom side of the rail beams 108 of both left and right sides of the elastic module 106. That is, the left and right sides of each rail beam 108 are provided with structures capable of engaging the elastic modules 106 located at the left and right sides thereof, respectively, and enabling the two elastic modules 106 at the both sides of the rail beam 108 to slide along their respective slide rails independently with respect to each other.

Fig. 7B and 7C show examples of other embodiments of alternative ultrasonic welding. Referring to fig. 7B, rail beam mounts may be adhesively bonded to the floor covering 105, which also include a superstructure 1071 and a substructure 1072 with recesses 1073 formed therein. Referring to fig. 7C, the rail beam mount 107 is riveted to the floor covering 105 by rivets 1075, and the rail beam mount 107 is also provided with mount protrusions and recesses.

Fig. 13A-15 illustrate another alternative embodiment. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the spring bracket of each elastic module 125 have the fitting protrusions 1251, and the fitting protrusions 1251 protrude upward from the top surface of the body of the spring bracket and simultaneously protrude downward from the bottom surface of the body of the spring bracket, so that the fitting protrusions 1251 can be simultaneously received by the receiving parts 1212 (which are formed with the receiving grooves 123 shown in fig. 13A and 13B) of the top and bottom sides of the rail beam 121 of the left and right sides of the elastic module. The left and right sides of each rail beam 121 are provided with structures capable of engaging the elastic modules 125 located at the left and right sides thereof, respectively, and enabling the two elastic modules at the two sides of the rail beam 121 to slide along their respective slide rails independently with respect to each other.

However, unlike the previous embodiment, the track beam in this embodiment is directly secured to the visor body 122 by ultrasonic welding (as shown in fig. 13A), bonding, and riveting (as shown in fig. 13B) with rivets 124. The present embodiment omits the provision of rail beam mounts.

Fig. 16-19 illustrate yet another embodiment. Referring first to fig. 17, each track beam includes a plurality of track beam segments, each track beam segment being connected in sequence in a longitudinal direction. Each track beam segment is provided with a forward projection at the front end and a forward recessed groove at the rear end, the projections and grooves of adjacent track beam segments being adapted to each other so as to connect adjacent track beam segments together. For example, for the adjacent rail beams shown in fig. 17, the protrusions 1312a of the front section of the first rail beam 1312 can extend into the forwardly recessed grooves 1311a of the rear end of the second rail beam 1312.

Referring to fig. 19, each of the rail beams includes a base 131, a pair of connection walls extending upward from left and right sides of the base 131, respectively, and a pair of end walls extending from top ends of the pair of walls opposite to each other. There is a space between each pair of end walls, wherein the base 131 and the pair of connecting walls, the pair of end walls, respectively, together define a pair of receiving portions 1313 having openings facing each other, the receiving portions 1313 being formed with receiving grooves 1314. Correspondingly, the left and right sides of the spring bracket of each elastic module are provided with connecting legs extending downwards, and matching protrusions 1321 extending from the connecting legs of the left and right sides of the spring bracket to face each other. The receiving grooves 1314 of the pair of receiving parts 1313 of each rail beam can engage the corresponding fitting protrusions 1321 of the elastic module located at the left and right sides of the rail beam, respectively. Preferably, a partition wall 1315 is provided in the middle of two connection walls of the base 131, and the height of the partition wall 131 is smaller than the height of the connection walls.

Further carefully looking at fig. 16, it is known that the connection wall provided on the left side of the base 131 is intermittently provided in the longitudinal direction, the connection wall provided on the right side of the base 131 is intermittently provided in the longitudinal direction, and the connection wall provided on the left side of the base 131 and the connection wall provided on the right side of the base are staggered in the lateral direction.

The above-described connection of the elastic module and the bottom cover can be applied to an elastic pad that allows a user to customize the pad based on the hardness requirements.

In addition to the elastic buffer layer 103, the elastic module layer described above, the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 also has some preferred arrangement. For example, turning back to fig. 2 and 3, the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 is provided with a plurality of openings 1041, and the size of the openings 1041 is consistent with the outer diameter of the elastic module 106 at a predetermined height, so that the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 can respectively sleeve the plurality of elastic modules 106 in the openings 1041, thereby associating all the elastic modules 106. Preferably, the size of the opening 1041 is consistent with the outer diameter at the top of the spring module 106.

The elastic pad in the present embodiment allows the user to disassemble and store the elastic pad by himself. Fig. 20-22 show schematic views of the disassembled stowing process.

First, the user can first detach the cover and remove the elastic module 106 from the rail beam, and the state of the elastic pad at this time is shown in fig. 20.

Further, the elastic buffer 103, the top cover 102, and the side rails 109 can all be rolled up and stored. Still further, the track beam or track beam mount is made of flexible plastic to allow the floor covering 105 incorporating a plurality of track beams to be rolled up for storage along a plane perpendicular to the direction of extension of the track beams, and after rolling up for storage, the softer track beams will not puncture the floor covering. It can be understood that the track beam and the track beam mounting member are both structures with certain stable shapes, but are not necessarily very hard, and the track beam mounting member can also deform to a certain extent under the action of certain external force.

Referring to fig. 21, after the outer cover 110, the elastic buffer layer 103, the elastic module 106, and the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 of the elastic pad are separated with respect to each other, the elastic buffer layer 103, and the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 may be further received by stacking and rolling up the same to form a first receiving roll 120a, and separating the top cover body 102, the side panels 109, and the bottom cover body 105 with respect to each other (it will be appreciated that zippers are provided between the top cover body 102, the side panels 109, and between the side panels 109 and the bottom cover body 105) and stacking and rolling up the same to form a second receiving roll 120b.

Further, each of the elastic modules 106 is configured in a truncated cone structure having an open lower end and a hollow inside, and the plurality of elastic modules 106 are configured to allow a user to remove the respective elastic modules 106 from the rail beam and to sequentially nest the respective elastic modules in a height direction of the elastic modules to form the elastic module storage group 120c. In the nested state, the lower elastic module 106 of the adjacent elastic modules 106 is inserted upward into the upper elastic module 106 through the lower end opening of the upper elastic module 106.

Further, the user can put the first storage roll 120a, the second storage roll 120b, and the elastic module storage set 120c together in the storage box 120. The corresponding storage box 120 may be sold or gifted with the resilient pad to allow a user to disassemble and store the resilient pad at home.

Fig. 22 shows an example of another storage method. Referring to fig. 19, after the outer cover 110, the elastic buffer layer 103, the elastic module 106, and the elastic balancing mesh layer 104 of the elastic pad are separated from each other, the elastic buffer layer 103, the elastic balancing mesh layer 104, and the side gusset 109 may be further received by stacking and rolling up them together to form a first receiving roll 120a, and stacking and rolling up the top cover body 102 and the bottom cover body 105 together to form a second receiving roll 120b.

In summary, the method for customizing and assembling the elastic cushion provided by the embodiment comprises the steps of obtaining a top cover body and a bottom cover body, obtaining a required number of elastic cushion layers of a required type based on hardness requirements, obtaining side wall blocks according to the overall stacking height dimension of all the obtained elastic cushion layers, connecting the top cover body and the side wall blocks, connecting the bottom cover body and the side wall blocks, and accommodating the selected elastic cushion layers in an accommodating space jointly defined by the top cover body, the bottom cover body and the side wall blocks.

Wherein the step of obtaining a desired number of desired types of elastic cushion layers includes obtaining an elastic cushion layer. The step of obtaining an elastic buffer includes selecting at least one elastic buffer from a plurality of elastic buffers based on a hardness requirement. Examples of the structure of the respective elastic buffer layers are given in fig. 4A to 4G and the related description.

The obtaining of the required number and the required type of the elastic cushion layer comprises obtaining an elastic module layer, wherein the elastic module layer comprises a plurality of elastic modules, and the elastic modules can be arranged in an array manner in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the elastic cushion to form the elastic module layer. A specific alternative construction of the elastomeric block layer is shown in fig. 5-19.

Further, the method further comprises a storage method for storing components forming the household elastic pad, and referring to fig. 21 and 22, the storage method comprises the steps of rolling up and storing the top cover body, the bottom cover body, the side wall baffle and the elastic pad layer. Preferably, each elastic module is constructed in a truncated cone structure with an open lower end and a hollow interior, and the method further comprises a receiving method of receiving the components constituting the home elastic pad, the receiving method comprising removing each elastic module from the rail beam and sequentially telescoping each elastic module in a height direction of the elastic module such that, in a telescoping state, a lower elastic module of adjacent elastic modules is upwardly inserted into an upper elastic module through the open lower end of the upper elastic module.

For example, if the elastic balancing web layer of the elastic pad ages, the user may purchase the elastic balancing web layer alone to replace and thus continue to use the elastic pad. The same applies to the elastic buffer layer, the elastic module, the outer cover, and the like.

Also preferably, the step of obtaining the outer cover includes selecting a corresponding outer cover according to the desired color, material, and pattern of the resilient pad.
