Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Untermatratzen für Betten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to mattresses for beds according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Das Zwei-Matratzen-System, bestehend aus Obermatratze und Untermatratze, ist eines der ältesten und bewährtesten Schlafsysteme der Welt. Beide Matratzen haben unterschiedliche, sich hervorragend ergänzende Eigenschaften. Die Obermatratze wirkt in direktem Kontakt mit dem menschlichen Körper. Sie muss sich dem Schläfer individuell, punktgenau und kompromisslos anpassen. Optimale Eigenschaften besitzen die Matratzen mit Taschenfederkern, insbesondere wenn die Härte der Taschenfedern individuell auf die Gewichtsverteilung und Form des Körpers des Schläfers abgestimmt ist.The two mattress system, consisting of top mattress and bottom mattress, is one of the oldest and most proven sleep systems in the world. Both have mattresses different, perfectly complementary properties. The top mattress works in direct contact with the human body. You must be the sleeper adapt individually, precisely and uncompromisingly. Optimal properties have mattresses with pocket springs, especially if the hardness of the Pocket springs individually based on the weight distribution and shape of the body Sleeper is matched.

Derartige Obermatratzen benötigen auch eine angepasste Unterlage. Weit verbreitet als Matratzenunterlage sind die Lattenroste. Lattenroste sind jedoch für Matratzen mit Taschenfederkern prinzipiell ungeeignet.Such top mattresses also require an adapted underlay. Widespread the slatted frames are used as a mattress pad. Slatted frames are, however, for mattresses Pocket spring core basically unsuitable.

Die optimale Unterlage für eine Obermatratze mit Taschenfederkern ist eine flächig elastische Untermatratze. Die Wirkungsweise der Untermatratze konzentriert sich auf das sanfte und flächige Abfedern von Bewegungsabläufen. Sie kompensiert den Druck, der durch Bewegungen des Schläfers entsteht. Die Kräfte, die dabei wirken, sind um einiges höher als der reine Gewichtsdruck des ruhenden Menschen. Die gute Untermatratze fängt die hohe Energie sensibel auf und federt sie sanft auf der ganzen Fläche ab. Außerdem sorgt die perfekte Untermatratze dafür, dass Feuchtigkeit, die der Schläfer an die Obermatratze abgibt, durch eine freie Luftzirkulation an die Umgebung abgegeben wird, ohne dass der Schläfer ein Gefühl von Kälte, Hitze oder Feuchtigkeit hat.The optimal underlay for a top mattress with pocket spring core is a flat one elastic under mattress. The mode of action of the mattress base is concentrated on the gentle and flat cushioning of movements. It compensates for the pressure caused by the sleeper’s movements. The forces that work are over much higher than the pure weight pressure of the resting person. The good Base mattress sensibly absorbs the high energy and gently springs it all over Area from. In addition, the perfect base mattress ensures that moisture that the sleeper releases to the top mattress through a free air circulation to the Is released without giving the sleeper a feeling of cold, heat or Has moisture.

Gute Untermatratzen besitzen einen Außenrahmen, der unten durch Längs- und Querleisten abgeschlossen ist. Außenrahmen und Leisten bestehen üblicherweise aus Holz. Auf den Längs- und Querleisten stehen aus Draht gebogene Federn, die auf die Aufgabe der Untermatratze hin optimiert sind. Nach oben werden die Federn durch eine Polsterschicht und einen Drell abgedeckt. Good mattresses have an outer frame that is longitudinal and bottom Crossbars is completed. The outer frame and strips usually consist of Wood. On the longitudinal and transverse strips there are springs made of wire, bent on the The task of the base mattress are optimized. The feathers go up a cushion layer and a drell covered.

Wie eingangs erwähnt, werden optimale Matratzensysteme für jeden Benutzer individuell abgestimmt gefertigt, was einen entsprechenden Kostenaufwand nach sich zieht, dem Benutzer jedoch einen optimalen Schlafkomfort bietet. Oftmals stellt sich jedoch nach einiger Benutzung des Matratzensystems heraus, dass bestimmte Körperbereiche noch nicht optimal abgestützt sind. Beispielsweise können einige der unterschiedlichen Federzonen zu hart oder zu weich oder auch zu schmal oder zu breit sein. Auch können sich die Körperformen oder das Körpergewicht des Benutzers im Laufe der Jahre verändern. Da die handelsüblichen, aus Unter- und Obermatratze bestehenden Matratzensysteme jedoch unveränderlich sind, findet ein solcher Benutzer keinen optimalen Schlafkomfort mehr. Das ist unbefriedigend.As mentioned at the beginning, there are optimal mattress systems for every user individually tailored, which means a corresponding cost pulls, but offers the user optimal sleeping comfort. Often it turns out however, after some use of the mattress system, certain Body areas are not yet optimally supported. For example, some of the different spring zones too hard or too soft or too narrow or too wide his. Also, the body shape or body weight of the user can Change over the years. Since the standard, made of bottom and top mattress existing mattress systems are unchangeable, however Users no longer have optimal sleeping comfort. It is unsatisfactory.

Hier setzt nun die vorliegende Erfindung ein, die sich die Aufgabe gestellt hat, das Matratzensystem verstellbar zu machen, so dass der Benutzer selbst in der Lage ist, eine Feineinstellung vorzunehmen.Here is where the present invention, which has set itself the task Make the mattress system adjustable so that the user is able to to make a fine adjustment.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Untermatratze mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This task is solved by a mattress with the characteristics of Claim 1.

Dank der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Höhe der Untermatratze punkt- bzw. zonengenau so verändert werden, dass der Benutzer an den gewünschten Stellen entweder tiefer oder weniger tief einsinkt, genau so wie es seine Körpereigenschaften verlangen, wobei die Eigenschaften der Matratze selbst nicht verändert werden.Thanks to the present invention, the height of the base mattress can be point or zone-specific so that the user is in the desired places either sinks deeper or less deep, just like its physical properties request, whereby the properties of the mattress itself are not changed.

Für die Höhenverstellung gibt es eine Mehrzahl von technischen Möglichkeiten.There are a number of technical options for height adjustment.

Gemäß einer ersten Variante erfolgt die Höhenverstellung in Stufen.According to a first variant, the height is adjusted in stages.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung hierzu umfasst die Höhenverstelleinrichtung eine Anzahl von Bohrungen, die im Außenrahmen übereinander angeordnet sind, und Haltestifte, die in die Bohrungen eingesteckt werden können. Die Polsterelemente besitzen wenigstens vier mit den Haltestiften korrespondierende Haltenuten, so dass das bewegliche Polsterelement sicher gehalten wird. Diese Konstruktion, die in etwa bekannt ist von Bücherregalen, ist sehr einfach, preiswert und äußerst betriebssicher. According to a first embodiment, the height adjustment device comprises one Number of holes that are arranged one above the other in the outer frame, and Retaining pins that can be inserted into the holes. The upholstery elements have at least four holding grooves corresponding to the holding pins, so that the movable cushion element is held securely. This construction, which is roughly is known from bookshelves, is very simple, inexpensive and extremely reliable.

Gemäß einer Variante hierzu umfasst die Höhenverstelleinrichtung vier schwenk- oder drehbare Nocken im Außenrahmen und zu jedem Nocken eine Anzahl von Vertiefungen, so auf die Nocken abgestimmt, dass diese in Position gehalten werden. Am Polsterelement befinden sich mit den Nocken korrespondierende Haltenuten.According to a variant of this, the height adjustment device comprises four pivoting or rotatable cams in the outer frame and a number of for each cam Wells, matched to the cams so that they are held in position. There are holding grooves corresponding to the cams on the cushion element.

Der Vorteil dieser Konstruktion liegt darin, dass die Nocken am Außenrahmen unverlierbar fixiert sein können. Außerdem bieten derartige Nocken eine größere Auflagefläche, was den Auflagedruck reduziert und der Höhenverstelleinrichtung eine lange Lebensdauer verleiht.The advantage of this design is that the cams on the outer frame can be captively fixed. Such cams also offer a larger one Contact surface, which reduces the contact pressure and the height adjustment device gives long life.

Die Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass eine Verstellung in Stufen den Anforderungen der Praxis genügt, wenn die Abstufung nicht zu grob ist.Experience has shown that adjustment in stages meets the requirements of Practice is sufficient if the gradation is not too rough.

Die Höhenverstelleinrichtung kann auch stufenlos verstellbar sein.The height adjustment device can also be infinitely adjustable.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung hierzu umfasst die Höhenverstelleinrichtung exzentrisch gelagerte Scheiben, wobei diese zur Verbesserung der Reibung am Umfang gezahnt sein können.According to a first embodiment, the height adjustment device comprises this eccentrically mounted discs, which improve the friction on Circumference can be serrated.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung umfasst die Höhenverstelleinrichtung eine durchgehende Welle, gelagert im Außenrahmen, und einen selbsthemmenden Antrieb für die Welle, z. B. ein Schneckengetriebe.According to a development of the invention, the height adjustment device comprises a continuous shaft, mounted in the outer frame, and a self-locking drive for the shaft, e.g. B. a worm gear.

Da die Feineinstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Untermatratze in aller Regel nur in größeren Abständen vorgenommen wird, genügt grundsätzlich eine von Hand zu betätigende Höhenverstelleinrichtung. Diese besteht gemäß einer Ausgestaltung aus einer Handkurbel und einem Winkelgetriebe, z. B. einem Kegelradgetriebe für eine 90-Grad-Umlenkung.Since the fine adjustment of the mattress base according to the invention is usually only in larger distances, one by hand is sufficient actuating height adjustment device. According to one embodiment, this consists of a hand crank and an angular gear, e.g. B. a bevel gear for a 90-degree deflection.

Zur Erhöhung des Komforts kann die Höhenverstelleinrichtung gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung aber auch motorisch angetrieben sein. Dazu eignen sich z. B. motorisch angetriebene Gewindespindeln, aber auch die vorstehend erwähnten exzentrisch gelagerten Scheiben. To increase comfort, the height adjustment device according to one Further development of the invention can also be motor-driven. Are suitable for this z. B. motor-driven threaded spindles, but also those mentioned above eccentrically mounted discs.

Eine weitere Variante sieht vor, dass zur Höhenverstellung aufblasbare Bälge eingesetzt werden. Da diese Bälge selbst federn, können die Drahtfedern und die Polsterschicht des Polsterelements entsprechend einfacher ausgeführt werden.Another variant provides that inflatable bellows for height adjustment be used. Since these bellows spring themselves, the wire springs and the Upholstery layer of the upholstery element can be made correspondingly simpler.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung des Komforts und zur Sicherstellung einer gleichmäßigen Verstellung kann die Höhenverstelleinrichtung mit einer Stellungsanzeige ausgerüstet sein, die an der Außenseite des Außenrahmens oder an der Oberseite der Untermatratze sichtbar ist.To further increase comfort and to ensure an even The height adjustment device can be equipped with a position indicator be on the outside of the outer frame or on the top of the Under mattress is visible.

Um die individuelle Feineinstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Untermatratze noch weiter zu verfeinern, kann das Polsterelement auch längs des Außenrahmens verstellbar sein.The individual fine adjustment of the sub-mattress according to the invention even further to refine, the cushion element can also be adjustable along the outer frame.

Vorteilhafterweise sind im Kopf- und/oder Fußbereich der Untermatratze Festpolster vorgesehen. In diesen Bereichen besteht erfahrungsgemäß kaum Bedarf für eine Höhenverstellung der Untermatratze, so dass Kosten eingespart werden können.Solid pads are advantageously in the head and / or foot area of the lower mattress intended. Experience has shown that there is hardly any need for one in these areas Height adjustment of the bottom mattress so that costs can be saved.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind zwei oder drei höhenbewegliche Polsterelemente vorgesehen, positioniert im Bereich von Schulter, Lende und/oder Becken.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two or three height-adjustable cushion elements provided, positioned in the area of the shoulder, Loin and / or pelvis.

Fig. 1 zeigt rein schematisch einen Längsschnitt durch ein aus Untermatratze 0 und Obermatratze 20 bestehendes Matratzensystem nach dem Stand der Technik. Die Untermatratze 0 besitzt einen Außenrahmen 1 mit Boden, auf dem eine Vielzahl von Federn 5 steht, die oben durch eine Polsterschicht 2 abgedeckt sind. Die Obermatratze 20 besitzt eine Vielzahl von Federn 21, abgedeckt durch einen Drell 22. Die Eigenschaften der Federn 21 sind auf Gewicht und Form eines Schläfers 30 derart abgestimmt, dass eine Beckenaufnahme und eine Schulteraufnahme mit erhöhter Nachgiebigkeit entstehen. Dadurch können Becken und Schulter des Schläfers 30 so tief einsinken, dass seine Wirbelsäule im wesentlichen gerade gestreckt bleibt.Fig. 1 shows purely schematically a longitudinal section through a mattress 0 and Top mattress 20 existing mattress system according to the prior art. The Under mattress 0 has an outer frame 1 with a bottom on which a variety of Springs 5 stands, which are covered at the top by a cushion layer 2. The top mattress 20 has a plurality of springs 21, covered by a drill 22 Properties of the springs 21 are such as weight and shape of a sleeper 30 matched that a pelvic socket and a shoulder socket with increased Compliancy arise. This allows the pelvis and shoulder of the sleeper 30 to do so sink deeply so that his spine remains essentially straight.

Die durch das tiefe Einsinken der Becken- und Schulterzone bewirkten Kräfte federt die Untermatratze 0 flächig ab, jedenfalls solange die Körpereigenschaften des Schläfers 30 dem Ausgangszustand entsprechen. Veränderungen der Körpereigenschaften des Schläfers 30 dagegen kann das individuelle Matratzensystem aus Unter- und Obermatratze 0, 20 nicht ausgleichen.The forces caused by the deep sinking in of the pelvic and shoulder zones cushions the bottom mattress 0 flat, at least as long as the body properties of the Sleeper 30 correspond to the initial state. Changes in Body characteristics of the sleeper 30, however, can be the individual mattress system do not equalize from bottom and top mattress 0, 20.

Die Fig. 2 bis 4 zeigen nun eine erste Untermatratze, die einen solchen Ausgleich ermöglicht. Diese Untermatratze besitzt wieder einen festen Außenrahmen 1. In diesem ist beispielsweise ein Festpolster 7 montiert. Dieses besitzt in seinem Inneren die vom Stand der Technik her bekannten Federn und ist wie der Stand der Technik an seiner Oberseite mit einer Polsterschicht 2 abgepolstert. Das Festpolster 7 bildet den Kopf- oder Fußbereich der Untermatratze.2 to 4 now show a first sub-mattress that compensates for this allows. This sub-mattress again has a solid outer frame 1. In for example, a fixed cushion 7 is mounted. This has inside the springs known from the prior art and is like the prior art padded its top with a cushion layer 2. The fixed cushion 7 forms the Head or foot area of the base mattress.

Des weiteren erkennt man in den Fig. 2 bis 4 zwei lose Polsterelemente 10, 10'. Auch diese besitzen einen Rahmen, der in seinem Inneren die vom Stand der Technik her bekannten Federn aufnimmt und wie der Stand der Technik oben mit Polsterschicht 12 und Drell abgedeckt ist. Des weiteren besitzt das höhenbewegliche Polsterelement 10, 10' an seiner Außenseite mehrstufige, hier dreistufige Haltenuten 13. Diese korrespondieren mit Nocken 4, die an der Innenseite des Außenrahmens 1 schwenkbar befestigt sind. Die Nocken 4 sitzen in einer kreuzförmigen Vertiefung 3, deren Abmessungen so auf die Nocken 4 abgestimmt sind, dass sie die Nocken 4 in der einmal eingestellten Position sicher fixieren. Die Vertiefungen 3 und die Nocken 4 bilden die rahmenseitige Höhenverstelleinrichtungen, die mit den Haltenuten 13 am Polsterelement 10, 10' derart korrespondieren, dass durch Verstellen der Nocken 4 die Polsterelemente 10, 10' unterschiedliche Höhen einnehmen können.Furthermore, two loose cushion elements 10, 10 'can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 4. Also these have a frame, the inside of which from the prior art known springs and like the prior art above with cushion layer 12th and Drell is covered. Furthermore, the vertically movable cushion element 10 has 10 'on its outside multi-stage, here three-stage holding grooves 13. This correspond to cams 4 on the inside of the outer frame 1 are pivotally attached. The cams 4 sit in a cross-shaped recess 3, whose dimensions are matched to the cams 4 so that they the cams 4 in fix the position once set. The depressions 3 and the cams 4th form the frame-side height adjustment devices with the retaining grooves 13 on Upholstery element 10, 10 'correspond in such a way that by adjusting the cams 4 Upholstery elements 10, 10 'can have different heights.

Fig. 5 zeigt ausschnittsweise und teilweise aufgebrochen eine zweite Untermatratze. Auch diese besitzt einen stabilen Außenrahmen 1. In diesem ist eine Höhenverstelleinrichtung gelagert, hier in Form einer exzentrisch gelagerten Dreikantleiste 7. Diese bildet eine durchgehende Achse und ist mit einer Stellanzeige gekoppelt, die an der Außenseite des Rahmens 1 sichtbar ist. Durch Drehen der Dreikantleiste 7 um jeweils 120° lässt sich eine Trägerplatte 6 in drei unterschiedliche Höhen bringen. Diese Trägerplatte 6 trägt die Federn 5, die wie vom Stand der Technik bekannt an ihrer Oberseite mit einer Polsterschicht 2 und einem Drell oder einem elastischen Gewebe bzw. Gestrick abgedeckt sind.Fig. 5 shows a partial and partially broken open a second mattress. This also has a stable outer frame 1. In this is one Height adjustment device stored, here in the form of an eccentrically mounted Triangular strip 7. This forms a continuous axis and is with a position indicator coupled, which is visible on the outside of the frame 1.
