This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 202310651825.9, filed on Jun. 2, 2023. Chinese patent application 202310651825.9 is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an elastic cushion having springs, and in particular relates to an elastic cushion with a non-rigid connection between the springs.
Existing elastic cushions made of springs require a plurality of the springs to achieve elastic support. Generally, upper ends of the springs are connected together, or a sponge having an appropriate thickness is laid on the upper ends of the springs, so that force is dispersed when the springs are compressed. When the plurality of the springs are compressed, the plurality of the springs are linked for support. Flexible support of a human body needs an elasticity of the springs to change according to a posture change of the human body. An elasticity of the springs, as a whole, cannot enable the human body to stretch in various postures, and different parts of the human body may require variable hardnesses. In addition, different people desire and require variable hardnesses. In existing beds having variable hardnesses, the hardness of the beds are adjustable due to various deformation degrees generated by the springs. A deformation member enables the springs to deform independently from deformation of the springs caused by the human body. That is, during initialization time, the hardness of the beds is adjustable according to wishes of the user. The hardness of the bed can also be compensated for possible changes in elastic properties of the springs in a random pattern. However, common problems of these existing beds having variable hardnesses are that the existing beds having variable hardnesses are relatively complex, heavy, and expensive to produce. These existing beds are also relatively difficult and cumbersome for use. Further, even if these existing beds provide a certain degree of adjustability, it is usually not user-friendly and leads to a lot of trouble for the producers.
The present disclosure provides an elastic cushion in which the springs are relatively independently supported by each other, and the springs in different directions are differently linked.
A first technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.
An elastic cushion comprises at least one elastic module, the at least one elastic module comprises multiple rows of springs, fixing seats, and one or more flexible bands, two adjacent rows of the multiple rows of the springs are staggered, waists of the springs comprise the fixing seats, at least two opposing sides of the fixing seats comprise perforations, the perforations in the fixing seats of the two adjacent rows of the springs define a substantially continuous straight line, the one or more flexible bands pass through the perforations in the substantially continuous straight line, ends of the one or more flexible bands comprise stoppers or buckles, two ends of the one or more flexible bands are fixed to the fixing seats of two springs at two ends of the two adjacent rows of the springs, and the two adjacent rows of the springs are connected in series by the one or more flexible bands.
In a preferred embodiment, the springs are wrapped by cloth sleeves, and waists of the cloth sleeves comprise the fixing seats.
In a preferred embodiment, the springs are waist-shaped springs.
In a preferred embodiment, four sides of the at least two opposing sides of the fixing seats have same structures, and the perforations of the four sides of the fixing seats comprise same structures.
In a preferred embodiment, the fixing seats comprises a stop structure, the stop structure cooperates with the stoppers of the one or more flexible bands to fix the one or more flexible bands, and outside of the two ends of the one or more flexible bands comprise stop positions for receiving the stoppers.
In a preferred embodiment, the one or more flexible bands comprise webbing or cord.
In a preferred embodiment, the springs wrapped by the cloth sleeves comprises independent springs pocketed in bags.
A second technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.
An elastic cushion comprises at least one elastic module, the at least one elastic module comprises multiple rows of springs, fixing seats, and one or more flexible bands, rows of the multiple rows of the springs are respectively aligned each other, waists of the springs comprise the fixing seats, at least two opposing sides of the fixing seats comprise perforations, the fixing seats of two adjacent rows of the multiple rows of the springs are connected together, the perforations in the fixing seats of the two adjacent rows of the springs define two rows of the perforations, the one or more flexible bands pass through the two rows of the perforations, ends of the one or more flexible bands comprise stoppers or buckles, two ends of the one or more flexible bands are fixed to the fixing seats of two springs at two ends of the two adjacent rows of the springs, and the two adjacent rows of the springs are connected in series by the one or more flexible bands.
In a preferred embodiment, the springs are wrapped by cloth sleeves, and waists of the cloth sleeves comprise the fixing seats.
A third technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.
An elastic mattress, the elastic mattress comprises one or more of the elastic cushions.
A fourth technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.
An elastic mattress, the elastic mattress comprises a plurality of the elastic cushions of claim 1 spliced together.
In the elastic module of the present disclosure, each of the springs is independently compressed. Therefore, elasticity of the elastic module changes according to a posture change of a human body. At the same time, the waists of the springs are connected in series, and non-compressed springs can be pulled towards compressed springs by the flexible band instead of moving away from the compressed springs, so that gaps between the springs will be avoided. A structure of the elastic module is simple, and a connection of the elastic module is easy due to a series connection.
An elastic cushion 10 of Embodiment 1 is shown in
A bottom side of the spring module 2 can be fixed on a rigid or flexible base plate 20.
The fixing seats 6 comprises a stop structure 63. The stop structure 63 cooperates with the stoppers 5 of the webbing 3 to fix the webbing 3, and an outside of the two ends of the webbing 3 comprise stop positions 31 for receiving the stoppers 5.
An elastic mattress (i.e., spring mattress) made of the spring module 2 is shown in
Referring to
An arrangement of the springs 21 and connectors of Embodiments 1-2 do not limit the spring module 2 and the elastic cushion 10 made therefrom of the present disclosure, and the spring module 2 can be made using other arrangements by a person of skill in the art. The connectors are not limited to only those specified in Embodiments 1-2, and the present disclosure covers any modifications and variations of the presently presented embodiments provided the springs 21 are connected by the flexible band. The elastic cushion 10 can be made using the spring module 2 in various ways as well.
