Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a shock-absorbing buffer pad, and more particularly to a shock-absorbing buffer pad with adjustable hardness.


To improve the softness of the bottom part of a pad, a product called “shock-absorbing buffer pad” is usually used on the bottom part of the pad body or inside the pad body, to support the pad body, increase the softness and improve the comfort. For example, in early times, people sleep on wooden board beds or tatami bed. In order to improve the comfort, a thin sleeping pad (such as a Japanese-style sleeping pad) is laid on the wooden board bed or the tatami bed. However, even though the thin sleeping pad provides better softness than sleeping directly on the wooden board bed or tatami bed, it is still not soft and comfortable enough for the sleeper. Therefore, a spring mattress is developed. The product is made by installing springs inside the mattress to greatly increase the softness and comfort. For the mattress, the “spring” is an object similar to the “shock-absorbing buffer pad”.


In early times, during outdoor camping, a waterproof pad is laid on the ground before setting up the tent, so that a sleeping bag can be used inside the tent for sleeping. However, the waterproof pad is too hard for sleeping. Later, a soft pad is used inside the tent for better comfort when sleeping inside the sleeping bag. This soft pad can help reduce the feeling of hardness. Apart from outdoor camping, nowadays more and more people use the car as a sleeping room. They drive to an outdoor environment and sleep right inside the car over night. Some people alter the internal space of the car to adapt to home life. This is becoming more and more trendy. When altering the internal space of a vehicle, generally wooden supporting boards are used as the base layer for sleeping. Then a sleeping pad, or a soft pad, or an air mattress is laid on the wooden board to increase the comfort for sleeping. Along with the increasing popularity of in-car sleeping, a “shock-absorbing buffer pad” is developed. The prior-art shock-absorbing buffer pad is a small object. In actual use, an array of the product is placed on the wooden board base layer, so that the wooden board base layer is covered by multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads. Then, a soft pad is laid above the multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads. Thus, when compressed, the multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads can provide an elastic force, providing better comfort for sleeping. It is a truly good product for outdoor sleeping.


However, the structure of the prior-art shock-absorbing buffer pad can only provide one compression stroke, and therefore can only provide one hardness. In other words, the compression stroke of the prior-art shock-absorbing buffer pad cannot be adjusted to change the hardness. Thus, when a plurality of shock-absorbing buffer pads are distributed, the hardness at a particular area cannot be adjusted to increase comfort. This is the biggest shortcoming of the prior-art shock-absorbing buffer pad.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

For better understanding of the technical means of the invention to realize the above object and its functions and benefits, descriptions are provided in detail below with respect to a preferred embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings.


Referring to FIG. 1˜FIG. 6, the present invention is a shock-absorbing buffer pad 1, made up of an external compression body 10, an internal guide slot 20, and an inserted adjusting component 30, wherein, the external compression body 10 has a hexagonal top part 11, a hexagonal bottom part 12, and a compression elastic component 13 configured separately and connected to between the edges of the top part 11 and bottom part 12. The center of the top part 11 has a hexagonal concave positioning slot 111, with its center configured with a hexagonal inserting hole 112 going downward. The outer wall of one side of the positioning slot 111 is configured with an indicator 113 (see FIG. 1, FIG. 2). The bottom part 12 is located beneath the top part. The bottom part 12 is a hexagonal plane with all of its sides corresponding to the sides of the top part 11. The center of the bottom part 12 is provided with a connecting hole 121. The compression elastic component 13 is configured separately and connected between the edges of the top part 11 and bottom part 12. The middle section of the compression elastic component 13 has a part designed to fold inward (or tilt inward). When the top part 11 is pressed under an external force, the in-ward folding or tilting phenomenon of the compression elastic component 13 is increased, so that the overall height of the external compression body 10 is reduced, and the compression elastic component 13 accumulates an inverse elastic force. When the external force disappears, due to the inverse elastic force of the compression elastic component 13, the external compression body 10 immediately recovers to its original height and state.


The internal guide slot 20 is formed on the top surface of the bottom part 12, and defined inside the internal space of the external compression body 10. The internal guide slot 20 has an inserting slot 21 going upward. The cross section of the inserting slot 21 is hexagonal. Inside the slot, one of the walls is formed with a stopping block 22. The stopping block 22 and the indicator 113 located above are aligned in the same straight line. A slightly convex positioning block 23 is formed above the stopping block 22.


The top surface of the inserted adjusting component 30 is hexagonal and can be held inside the top cap 31 located in the positioning slot 111. The internal edges of the six sides of the top cap 31 are respectively marked with six numbers, namely “0”, “5” “4”, “3”, “2”, “1” (see FIG. 1, FIG. 2). The central wall of the top cap 31 is concave and is configured transversely with a gripping rod 311 for gripping. The bottom surface of the top cap 31 is formed with an inserting cylinder 32 with a hexagonal cross section and which can be inserted into (through) the inserting hole 112. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, the bottom part of the inserting cylinder 32 is surrounded with staged abutting walls. Clockwise, they are respectively named as first abutting wall 320, second abutting wall 325, third abutting wall 324, fourth abutting wall 323, fifth abutting wall 322 and sixth abutting wall 321. In particular, the height of the first abutting wall 320 is largest (i.e., its location is lowest), then the location rises sequentially, until the smallest height of the sixth abutting wall 321 (i.e., its location is highest). The cross section of each abutting wall 320, 325, 324, 323, 322, 321 matches that of the stopping block 22. Then, at an upper position outside each abutting wall 320, 325, 324, 323, 322, 321, a bar-shaped and slightly concave positioning hole 33 is provided. The concave position and depth of the positioning hole 33 matches the convex position and height of the positioning block 23. It is specifically configured and noted that, the first abutting wall 320 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “0”, the second abutting wall 325 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “5”, the third abutting wall 324 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “4”, the fourth abutting wall 323 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “3”, the fifth abutting wall 322 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “2”, the sixth abutting wall 321 goes straight upward and corresponds to the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “1”.


Based on the above structure, when producing the external compression body 10 and the internal guide slot 20, it is recommended that they are made as an integral body. The inserted adjusting component 30 is formed separately. Then, during assembly, the inserting cylinder 32 of the inserted adjusting component 30 is inserted from the inserting hole 112 on the top part 11 into the internal space of the external compression body 10, until the top cap 31 of the inserted adjusting component 30 is stopped inside the hexagonal concave positioning slot 111 and fixed. By now, the unused state of the overall shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is as shown in FIG. 6. As the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is not pressed by an external force at this time, there is still some space between the staged abutting walls 320, 325, 324, 323, 322, 321, particularly the first abutting wall 320 with the largest height (i.e., lowest location), on the bottom part of the inserting cylinder 32, and the stopping block 22 of the internal guide slot 20, they are not contacting each other. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 at this point is set as Hnor, and the height H-nor is the overall maximum height, or normal height, of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1.


Then, the various usage states of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 are depicted in FIG. 7(a)FIG. 7f). Here, “usage state” means the state when the top part 11 is subject to an overall downward force that causes downward compression of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1. As described above, the bottom part of the inserting cylinder 32 is surrounded by staged abutting walls, which are categorized as first abutting wall 320, second abutting wall 325, third abutting wall 324, fourth abutting wall 323, fifth abutting wall 322 and sixth abutting wall 321 (see FIG. 3, FIG. 4). Therefore, when any one of the abutting walls (i.e., 320 or 325 or 324 or 323 or 322 or 321) is aligned to the stopping block 22, the overall height after compression will have different states. The different usage states are described below with reference to FIG. 7(a)˜FIG. 7(f):

    • 1. First, grip the gripping rod 311 and move the inserting cylinder 32 upward to take it out of the external compression body 10, then, turn the inserted adjusting component 30, until the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “0” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113. At this point, the first abutting wall 320 on the bottom part of the inserting cylinder 32 is aligned to the stopping block 22. Then, the inserting cylinder 32 of the inserted adjusting component 30 is again inserted into the inserting hole 112, so that the top cap 31 enters the positioning slot 111 and is fixed again. Then, when the top part 11 receives a downward force, causing the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 to be compressed downward, as shown in FIG. 7(a), during the above process, the positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the first abutting wall 320 will be lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23. The action of compression will be limited and stopped when the first abutting wall 320 touches the stopping block 22. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 at this point after compression is set as H320. By comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 7(a), it is obvious that Hnor>H320.
    • 2. If, after the inserting cylinder 32 as a whole is moved out of the external compression body 10, the inserted adjusting component 30 is turned until the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “5” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113. The state at this point is the state when the second abutting wall 325 on the bottom part of the inserting cylinder 32 is aligned to the stopping block 22. Then, the inserting cylinder 32 of the inserted adjusting component 30 is again inserted into the inserting hole 112, so that the top cap 31 enters the positioning slot 111 and is fixed again. Then, when the top part 11 receives a downward force, causing the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 to be compressed downward, as shown in FIG. 7(b), during the process, the positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the second abutting wall 325 will be lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23, the action of compression will be limited and stopped when the second abutting wall 325 touches the stopping block 22. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 at this point after compression is set as H325. By comparing FIG. 6, FIG. 7(a) and FIG. 7(b), it is obvious that, Hnor>H320>H325, i.e., when turning the inserted adjusting component 30 until the second abutting wall 325 is aligned to the stopping block 22, the compression stroke under external force in FIG. 7(b) is larger than that in FIG. 7(a).
    • 3. Based on the above method of adjustment, when turning and adjusting the inserted adjusting component 30 until the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “4” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113, i.e., the third abutting wall 324 is aligned to the stopping block 22. Then, the inserting cylinder 32 of the inserted adjusting component 30 is inserted again into the inserting hole 112, so that the top cap 31 enters the positioning slot 111 and is fixed again. The top part 11 receives a downward force, causing the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 to be compressed downward, as shown in FIG. 7(c). During the process, the positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the third abutting wall 324 will be lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23. The action of compression will be limited and stopped immediately after the third abutting wall 324 touches the stopping block 22. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 at this point after compression is set as H324. By comparing FIG. 6 and FIGS. 7(a)-(c), it is obvious that, Hnor>H320>H325>H324, and that, when turning and adjusting the inserted adjusting component 30 until the third abutting wall 324 is aligned to the stopping block 22, the compression stroke under external force in FIG. 7(c) is larger than that in FIG. 7(b).
    • 4. Based on the above method of adjustment, when the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “3” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113, the fourth abutting wall 323 is aligned to the stopping block 22, as shown in FIG. 7(d). The positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the fourth abutting wall 323 is also lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is H323. By comparing FIG. 6 and FIGS. 7(a)-(d), it is obvious that, Hnor>H320>H325>H324>H323. Therefore, when adjustment is made until the fourth abutting wall 323 is aligned to the stopping block 22, the compression stroke under an external force is longer.
    • 5. Based on the above method of adjustment, when the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “2” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113, the fifth abutting wall 322 is aligned to the stopping block 22, as shown in FIG. 7(e). The positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the fifth abutting wall 322 is also lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is H322. By comparing FIG. 6 and FIGS. 7(a)-(e), it is obvious that, Hnor>H320>H325>H324>H323>H322. Therefore, when adjustment is made until the fifth abutting wall 322 is aligned to the stopping block 22, the compression stroke under an external force is longer.
    • 6. At last, when the internal peripheral edge of the top cap 31 marked with the number “I” is aligned to the position of the indicator 113, the sixth abutting wall 321 is aligned to the stopping block 22, as shown in FIG. 7(f). The positioning hole 33 at an upper position outside the sixth abutting wall 321 is also lowered under the guide of the positioning block 23. The overall height record of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is H321. By comparing FIG. 6 and FIGS. 7(a)-(f), it is obvious that, Hnor>H320>H325>H324>H323>H322>H321. Therefore, when adjustment is made until the sixth abutting wall 321 is aligned to the stopping block 22, the compression stroke under an external force is longest in FIGS. 7(a)-(f).


The shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 of the present invention is suitable for use in combination with a base layer 40 (for example: wooden board). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, firstly the inserted adjusting component 30 is pulled out of the external compression body 10, and then a tool (such as a screw driver) is used to screw in a connecting component 41 (such as a screw) from the inserting hole 112, which goes through the inserting slot 21 and the connecting hole 121 and is locked with the base layer 40, so that the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is stably fixed on surface of the base layer 40. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, an adhesive component 42 (such as double-sided adhesive tape) can be applied directly between the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 and the base layer 40, to similarly fix the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 on the surface of the base layer 40.


It is better to bond multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads of the present invention 1 with the base layer 40. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a plurality of shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 are distributed on a base layer 40 (such as a wooden board) with the hexagons adjacent to each other with a small space between each other. Alternatively, the top part 11 of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 does not have to be hexagonal. As shown in FIG. 12, the top part 11 is formed in a square shape. Thus, as shown in FIG. 13, when arranging the plurality of shock-absorbing buffer pads 1, the array is more of square shape. Therefore, the shape of the top part 1 is not limited, and with the same functioning principle, the shape of the bottom part 12 of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is also not limited.


The base layer 40 is mainly used for laying a sleeping pad for sleeping. Therefore, when using the shock-absorbing buffer pad of the present invention 1, the base layer 40 must be covered with the multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 before laying the sleeping pad, and the parts of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 corresponding to the head, shoulder, back, waist, hip, thigh, and leg must be adjusted in advance for appropriate pressing degrees. Then, the sleeping pad is laid on the multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads L. Thus, when sleeping on the sleeping pad, the body (and the sleeping pad) will be supported by the multiple shock-absorbing buffer pads 1. Because the parts of the shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 corresponding to different parts of the body are already adjusted for different pressing degrees, the different parts of the body will feel the different supporting and cushioning forces. Then, when the pressure from sleeping is removed, due to the inverse elastic force of the compression elastic components 13, the unpressed shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 will return to its original height and state.


Generally speaking, the head, shoulder, and back part of the human body are best supported by a hard supporting and cushioning force. Therefore, the inserting cylinders 32 of the shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 corresponding to the head, shoulder, and back part of the human body are adjusted in advance to align the first abutting wall 320 or second abutting wall 325 of the bottom part to the stopping block 22. Thus, when the human body lies on the sleeping pad, the ranges of the head, shoulder, and back will sink to the position where the first abutting wall 320 or second abutting wall 325 touches the stopping block 22 and be limited. Therefore, the compression stroke is shorter, and relatively the supporting and cushioning force is harder.


For the waist and thigh parts of the human body, a medium supporting and cushioning force is more appropriate. Therefore, the inserting cylinders 32 of the shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 corresponding to the range of the waist and thigh of the human body can be adjusted to let the third abutting wall 324 or fourth abutting wall 323 of the bottom part be aligned to the stopping block 22. Thus, when the human body lies on the sleeping pad, the area corresponding to the waist and thigh parts will sink until the third abutting wall 324 or fourth abutting wall 323 touches the stopping block 22 and then be limited. This creates a medium compression stroke, and relatively a medium supporting and cushioning force. Similarly, the inserting cylinders 32 of the shock-absorbing buffer pads 1 corresponding to the hip and leg parts of the human body can be adjusted, to let the fifth abutting wall 322 or sixth abutting wall 321 of the bottom part be aligned to the stopping block 22. Thus, when the human body lies on the sleeping pad, the area corresponding to the hip and leg will sink until the fifth abutting wall 322 or sixth abutting wall 321 touches the stopping block 22 and then be limited. This creates a long compression stroke, and relatively a soft supporting and cushioning force.


In the above embodiment, the compression elastic component 13 is made of a curved material tilting inward. When the top part 11 is pressed by an external force, the inward-tilting curve of the compression elastic component 13 will be intensified to accumulate an inverse elastic force. Therefore, with the same functioning principle, the compression elastic component 13 does not have to be in the design shown in FIGS. 1 to 13, other styles like the compression elastic component 131 shown in FIG. 14, or the compression elastic component 132 shown in FIG. 15, or the compression elastic component 133 shown in FIG. 16 can be applied. They can be configured separately and connected between the edges of the top part 1I and the bottom part 12. The middle section of the compression elastic component 131, 132, 133 also has a part and shape folding inward. Therefore, when the compression elastic components 131, 132, 133 are respectively connected between the edges of the top part 11 and the bottom part 12, as long as the top part 11 is pressed by an external force, the compression elastic components 131, 132, 133 will likewise have intensified folding, causing lowered height of the external compression bodies 10, and the compression elastic components 131, 132, 133 will accumulate an inverse elastic force. When the external force disappears, the inverse elastic force of the compression elastic components 131, 132, 133 will push the external compression bodies 10 to recover to its original height and state. Therefore, all compression elastic components similar to the compression elastic components 131, 132, 133 with varied designs but same structure and function fall within the patent scope of the present invention.


From the above descriptions, it can be concluded that, the main feature of the present invention is that the structure of the shock-absorbing buffer pad 1 is made up of an external compression body, an internal guide slot, and an inserted adjusting component. The external compression body has a top part, a bottom part, and a compression elastic component. The center of the top part is configured with an inserting hole going downward. The bottom part is correspondingly located beneath the top part. The compression elastic component is connected between the top part and the bottom part. The middle section of the compression elastic component has a part that is folded inward. When the top part is pressed by an external force, the compression elastic component will immediately accumulate an inverse elastic force. The internal guide slot is formed on the top surface of the bottom part of the external compression body, and is located inside the internal space of the external compression body.
