Air bed

Abstract

An air bed comprising an air spring unit disposed on a support platform and comprising a plurality of parallel, uniformly spaced and vertically aligned inflatable bellows having closed tops and open ends, the tops interlocked and the ends fixed through the platform, and an elastic expandable member coupled to the open end of each bellows and disposed within an expansion-limiting frame. An air tube is coupled to each elastic member and leads into an enclosed distributor by engagement with a valve mounted therethrough. Inflation of the combined bellows and elastic member is effected by air pumped from a compressor having an air line leading into the distributor. Closing and opening of the valves is effected by a table within the distributor selectively moveable against the valve release pins.
