Definitions
- the present invention relates to mattress or cushion structures designed to improve pressure distribution while reducing the overall thickness of the mattress or cushion.
- the mattress or cushion structures of the present invention illustratively include a foam base on which one or more indented fiber layers or other three dimensional engineered material are placed.
- the base and the three dimensional engineered material layers are illustratively encased in a cover to provide a mattress or cushion.
- the present invention relates to a unique combination of a foam base and three dimensional engineered material layers placed on the foam base.
- the present invention also contemplates that, in addition to the foam base, an air cushion layer may be used with the foam and the indented fiber layers to further enhance the pressure distribution capabilities of the mattress or cushion.
- the base may be primarily, if not solely, an air cushion which is enhanced by at least one three dimensional engineered material layer.
- water filled bladders, springs, or zones filled with beads, gel or other such material may be used in the base.
- U.S. patents 5, 731,062 and 5,454,142 disclosing the three dimensional fiber networks made from textile fabrics that have projections and optional depressions which are compressible and return to their original shape after being depressed.
- U.S. patents 5,731,062 and 5,454,142 are owned by Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Somerville, New Jersey. Such material is a synthetic thermoplastic fiber network in flexible sheets having projections and/or indentations for use as cushions and/or impact-absorbing components. The descriptions of such patents are incorporated herein by reference to establish the nature of one example of three dimensional engineered material or indented fiber layer disclosed herein. It will be appreciated, however, that the present invention contemplates use of such layers whether or not they are supplied by Hoechst Celanese Corporation and whether or not they are similar to the SPACENET® product. -2-
- the material may be any type of three dimensional engineered material having a spring rate in both the X and Y axes. Preferably such material is open and breathable to provide air passage through the layer.
- Model No. 5875, 5886, 5898, and 5882 materials from M ⁇ ller Textile, a molded thermoplastic spacer matrix material available from Akzo Nobel, or other suitable material may be used. Therefore, the term "three dimensional engineered material” is meant to include any of these types of materials used in accordance with the present invention.
- the concept is to use three dimensional fiber layer networks made from textile fibers that have projections and optional depressions or other structures which are compressible and which return to their original shapes after being compressed or the equivalents of such layers.
- the SPACENET® fiber networks are typically made by thermo-mechanical deformation of textile fabrics that are in turn made from thermoplastic fibers.
- other types of layers with individual spring or spring-like protrusions may be used.
- indented fiber layers two or more such layers, hereinafter referred to as "indented fiber layers" for convenience will assist in the pressure distribution when incorporated into an assembly comprising a well designed support base which may comprise foam or some combination of foam and air.
- the SPACENET® layers are examples of such "indented fiber layers.”
- An apparatus of the present invention is therefore configured to support at least a portion of a body thereon.
- the apparatus includes a cover having an interior region, a base located within the interior region, and a three dimensional engineered material located within the interior region above the base. The three dimensional engineered material and the base cooperate to provide support for the body.
- Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a support surface base according to one embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of another support surface of the present invention including a base, and a plurality of layers of three dimensional engineered material, and an outer cover;
- Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention similar to Fig. 2 in which the contoured base is also formed to include a recessed portion configured to receive at least one layer of three dimensional engineered material therein;

It will be appreciated that when these layers 12, 14, 16, 18 are superimposed together, the side edges (front-to-back) are provided largely by foam strips with higher ILD ratings including the first layer 12 side strips 20 with 150 ILD ratings and the third layer 16 with side strips 30 of 60 ILD ratings and the upper layer 18 with its side strips 34 with 60 ILD ratings.
- the foam base 10 has lower ILD rating foam.
- foam strips with higher ILD ratings including the 90 ILD rating strip 26 in the second layer 14 and the 150 ILD rating strips 36 in the upper layer 18 provide significant rigidity at the back.
- a cushion base 50 is formed by sculpting a single piece of foam 52 or a piece of foam made from various composite components bonded together to have the contour recessed portions 54 shown in Fig. 2 configured to match a person's anatomy.
