p0001The invention relates to a sun system with a spring mattress and with in system transversely arranged, bending flexible substrates, which are carrying the mattress and supported with or without mesh base on a rigid base. Furthermore, the invention relates to a spring mattress.
p0002In today's popular deck systems generally spring mattresses are supported on so-called bed slats, said mattress and slatted frame are two separate components of the sun system. A typical slatted frame with spring system for the carrier forming slats is as described in the patent DE 35 08 757 C2.
p0003The slats of the equipped with such a slatted deck system supported here generally two in System longitudinally laterally outward located spars of a rectangular frame from which resilient, often in addition resilient fasteners are used as a suspension between the bar ends and the spars for power transmission.
p0004Deck systems of this type require a relatively lifted provisioning effort because a slatted frame is required as a separate independent component. In Bearing a mattress which includes a spring core on an executed as a separate component slatted base it is also not possible to ensure a precise geometrical assignment between the springs in the mattress and the mattress supporting slats and beams, so that the one on the sun system resting person offered ride comfort may be compromised.
p0005Object of the invention is to provide a sun system, in which the carrier and the transverse rows of springs of the spring core remain permanently placed to one another such that the interaction between the two can be done perfectly in sync with critically important components of the quality of the sun system, in addition to the deployment effort and the number of required components is reduced, thereby improving the operability of the sun system and at the same time the opportunity is used to make the air permeability of the mattress floating in a simple manner.
p0006This task is, starting from the aforementioned deck system according to the invention solved in that the carriers are arranged in the lower level of the spring core connected thereto.
p0007Particularly advantageous conditions for the solution of the problem provide eg innerspring inexpensively manufactured on machines, are where springs in Systemquer- and longitudinal directions arranged closely adjacent and connected to the lower boundary surface of the innerspring pivotally to each other with connecting elements to form a structural unit.
p0008Carrier with a round or approximately round cross-section are preferably used for the supplement of the spring core having a diameter of from 10 to about 25 mm, as they do not hinder the movements of the spring arranged in the transverse direction to each other rows.
p0009Suitable materials for the carrier are contemplated metals, wood, plastics, fiber reinforced plastics or similar materials. The carriers may be almost rigid or defined permanently elastic.
p0010The fixing of the support on the spring core can be done in many ways, and it is advantageous to use as the connector strips or wires, so that the spring coils of the spring interior in their stress-related movements are not hindered.
p0011It is also advantageous, each assigned as a support a distance range between adjacent transverse spring element rows of the innerspring and to connect at the lower boundary surface of the innerspring with existing there wires.
p0012The operability of the present invention combined with carriers innerspring mattress and the suspension technical interaction in the use of the system can be further improved if the mattress is made in two parts, the lower mattress part is essentially a provided with carriers innerspring and the upper to the lower part created sub essentially of held together by an envelope foam mats there.
p0013As a result of the integrated on the underside of the box spring mattress supports which replace a usual slatted, there is the possibility aufzulagern the ends of the beams on both ends to spars of a bed frame directly with appropriate dimensioning of the springs of the spring core. This is a particularly inexpensive sun system available, its use efficiency can be improved, if necessary, that, different and / or provided with special suspension behavior support for use for individual body zones. If necessary, for example, are arranged below the back, buttocks and thigh of the dormant on the system Person carrier groups with correspondingly greater section modulus than in the other areas in such cases.
p0014In addition to the lateral longitudinal beams of a bed frame in addition three different training variants are differentiated for and load dependent variable height supports as a suspension for the inventive system. This supplement combined with carriers mattress innerspring advantageous in that with the help of his and is widely supported the bending flexibility of the supports of the body resting on the deck system person free from distortion in all sleeping positions.
p0015A springing from deformable, fluid-filled and running in the system longitudinally hollow bodies, eg hoses, the spring mattress complemented particularly advantageous because it is possible to meet using the self-adjusting load-related fluid distribution adjustments in the hollow bodies different Body weight and body contour distributions. The hollow bodies are in turn supported on a rigid bearing surfaces of a frame.
p0016Another version of the training differentiated variable height supports as a suspension is that it runs with the help of at least two longitudinally system supporting beam is made available from an elastic material, which in turn rest on rigid surfaces of the bedstead.
p0017Finally, a spring system is concerned, which consists of a further spring core, which rests on a flat rigid support of a bedstead. If should be sought in limiting the rigid bearing surfaces to a narrow range in each case in the edge zones of the frame, so it is possible to provide the innerspring used as a suspension for the deck system on its underside with additional carriers or there is a support grid as an additional component insert.
p0018In all the above-described system variants, the envelope of the combined with carriers spring core can be formed so that with the aid of at least one variable with respect to the passage cross-sectional opening, for example on the underside of the mattress body, the change of air inside the space of the mattress and hence the sleeping environment during use of the system beeinf can lußt. For this purpose, the mattress base and the four side boundaries with a not or only slightly air-permeable material and the mattress top face are coated with an air-permeable material. The little air-permeable material is provided with an opening, for example on the underside of the box spring mattress, the terms of the remaining free cross-section is inventively variable so that the user of the system has the ability to promote, depending on seasonal unterschiedlkichen ambient temperatures the air changes or more difficult.

p00201 shows a spring provided with carriers core 1 is shown, the lower boundary surface of the carrier 3 are fixed in the form of rods by means of belt loops 4 in the region along its existing connection elements 2 for the springs 1a.
p0021Figure 2 is in Figure 1 by a circle marked made innerspring area A to the connecting element 2, the carrier 3 and the belt loop. 4
p0022The deck system illustrated in Figure 3 consists of the frame 5 and deposited thereon rigid substrates 6, both as a suspension serving hollow bodies 7, which are fluid-filled in this embodiment, tubing, and of the two-piece, placed on the slat mattress from the innerspring 1 is fastened with supports at its bottom side 3, and a further upper mattresses part 8 which is substantially formed from a foam plate. The spring core is provided with a coating 1b.
p00234 shows a sun system, used in the as a suspension elastically deformable support beams 9 which are placed on rigid substrates 6, which in turn are supported on a frame. 5
p0024When the sun system shown in Figure 5 is used as a suspension for the carrier 3 in a spring mattress innerspring 10, which is supported by documents 6 of the frame 5 and provided with a casing 10a.
p00256 shows simplified special training the bottom of the coated mattress innerspring 1, wherein the envelope consists 1b below and possibly on the four sides of a only slightly air-permeable material 11, which has an opening 12, which in the example shown by means of Velcro 13 can be separated fortified rags 14 is opened or closed as drawn partially or fully open. This gives the opportunity to air circulation in the mattress whose envelope is permeable to air up to affect a function of the ambient temperature and / or individual specifications.
