摘要:
A body support assembly (508) comprising a first layer (e.g., a visco-elastic foam) having a lower surface (134, 140, 150, 234, 240, 250), and a second layer supporting the first layer and having an upper surface (132, 138, 148, 232, 238, 248). One of the upper and lower surfaces (132,232) is defined by a non-planar surface to define a plurality of passages (142, 152, 154, 242). A fan (118, 18, 218, 318, 518) is positioned to move air through the passages (142, 152, 154, 242). Preferably, the non-planar surface comprises a plurality of protrusions (144, 154, 244) (e.g., a convoluted surface). The body support (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510) can further comprise a sensor (126, 226, 26, 526) that detects a parameter and produces a signal, and a controller (128, 228, 28, 528) coupled to the sensor (126, 226, 26, 526) and programmed to control the fan (118, 18, 218, 318, 518). Multiple fans (118, 18, 218, 318, 518) and sensors (126, 226, 26, 526) can be provided, and the controller (128, 228, 28, 528) can control the fans (118, 18, 218, 318, 518) to provide different air flows through different locations of the body support assembly (508). A user interface (129, 229, 29, 529) can be coupled to the controller (128, 228, 28, 528) to allow selection of a desired parameter of the body support assembly (508).
摘要:
A cover assembly for a mattress is provided that includes a first cover and a second cover, The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel collective!}' defining a cavity for enclosing the mattress. The second cover includes a top surface and a bottom surface, with the second cover being positioned over and dimensionally-sized to cover at least the top panel of the first cover. A fastener then connects the second cover to the first cover along the perimeter of the second cover. Methods tor marking a mattress are also provided that include the step of marking an indicia indicative of a characteristic of a mattress on the top surface of the second cover of the cover assembly.

A pillow includes an inferior portion and an outer portion. The interior portion is comprised of a first flexible foam, while the outer portion is comprised of a second flexible foam having a density different than that of the first flexible foam. Methods of producing a pillow are also provided whereby either a first foam precursor is dispensed into a central portion of a mold to provided a first flexible foam, or a pre-formed foam insert comprised of a first flexible foam is placed into a central portion of a mold. A second foam precursor is then subsequently dispensed into a peripheral portion of the mold to produce a second flexible foam having a density different than that of the first flexible foam. Upon reaction and expansion of the foam precursors, a molded foam pillow is produced having dual densities.

A support cushion for providing individualized heating and cooling to a user resting on the support cushion is provided. The support cushion includes a body supporting layer, a plurality of thermoelectric elements positioned and configured to selectively provide heating or cooling of the body supporting layer, a heat transfer layer positioned adjacent to the body supporting portion and operably connected to the thermoelectric elements, a base layer positioned adjacent to the heat transfer layer opposite the body supporting layer and defining one or more inlet and outlet conduits, and one or more fans operably connected to each of the outlet conduits. Methods of controlling the surface temperature of a support cushion are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing a support cushion (10), comprising the steps of: providing a base layer (20) having a lower surface (22) and an upper surface (24); applying a plurality of surface coatings (32,34,36) to the upper surface (24) of the base layer (20), the plurality of surface coatings (32,34,36) configured to allow an amount of air to flow through the base layer (20) and the plurality of surface coatings (32,34,36) and further configured to provide a cooling effect.
