Abstract:
A foldable bedding foundation (10) comprising a first section (16) is hingedly secured to a second section (18) so that the bedding foundation (10) may be folded for storage or transportation purposes. Each section (16, 18) has a base (26, 100), an upper deck (44, 1 16) and a plurality of generally L- shaped spacers (60, 62) pivotally secured to the base and upper deck. Upper and lower hinges (20, 22) extend between the base (26, 100) and upper deck (44, 1 16) of each section (16, 18). Locking members (132, 140) extending through the spacers (60, 62) maintain the foundation (10) in its erected position.
Abstract:
A mattress core (11, 12) has front and rear ends that are spaced apart in a longitudinal direction and further has opposite sides that are spaced apart in a lateral direction. The core (11, 12) includes a firmer lower core section (12) having a top surface that follows an undulating pattern. The undulating pattern is non-uniform and non-symmetric in the longitudinal direction, is uniform in the lateral direction, and includes at least one hill, at least one valley and at least one plateau. The core further includes a softer upper core section (11) that overlies the lower core section (12). The upper core section (11) has a bottom surface that follows the undulating pattern and contacts the lower core section's top surface to provide a common mating interface that follows the undulating pattern. The interface includes at least one hill, at least one valley and at least one plateau.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a compact modular housing unit (1) for housing a user (8). The modular housing unit (1) comprises a box-shaped structure (2), which encloses an inner chamber (20), and a bed or the like (3), which is positioned in the inner chamber (20). The box-shaped structure (2) has an access opening (26) to the inner chamber (20). The bed (3) is mounted on guides (4) and is adapted to perform a translational movement with respect to the box-shaped structure (2) along said guides (4): the bed (3) is movable between a first position, in which the bed (3) is completely inside the inner chamber (20), and a second position, in which the bed (3) protrudes at least partially from the inner chamber (20) through said access opening (26). The modular housing unit (1) is configured to allow a user (8) to lie in the bed (3) when the bed (3) is in the first position inside the inner chamber (20). The movability of the bed (3) between the first position and the second position, and vice versa, allows the user (8) to exit from / enter the inner chamber (20) while remaining lying in the bed (3). In particular, the translational movement of the bed (3) is along a translational axis which is parallel to a longitudinal axis (300) of the bed, corresponding to a head-feet direction of the user (8). According to an embodiment, the modular housing unit (1) is further configured to float on water (97): at least a bottom region (207) of the box-shaped structure (2) is watertight and the modular housing unit (1) in the floating condition is a survival cell for the user (8) when in a condition of danger due to a surrounding water environment.
Abstract:
A mattress or pillow (1) comprising at least one layer (2) made of viscoelastic material selected from among the group consisting of polyurethane-based foams and latex, the mattress or pillow (1) extending for a length (L), for a height (H) and for a width (J). The mattress or pillow (1) may comprise a single layer (2), a layer (2) and an additional layer (3) or more than two layers; at least one layer (2) of the mattress or pillow (1) comprises, in at least one portion (11) thereof, a titanium dioxide dispersion.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a neck pillow (1) comprising an elongate cushioned member (2) extending from a first end (4) to a second end (6) of the pillow. Each end comprises at least one fastening element for mutual engagement such that the pillow (1) may be arranged in a closed configuration in which the pillow (1) defines a closed loop and an open configuration in which the ends (4,6) are spaced apart from each other.
Abstract:
Le dispositif (30) de fixation d'au moins un siège comporte: au moins un siège (40) comportant au moins un élément structurel (106, 110, 206, 210) pour supporter une charge et un support de siège (50) configuré pour être fixé sur une cloison, dans lequel: chaque siège ou le support de siège comportant un moyen de (115, 215) génération d'une force d'attraction magnétique configuré pour retenir chaque dit siège contre une pièce métallique au contact entre la pièce métallique et le moyen de génération et chaque siège ou le support de siège ne comportant pas de moyen de génération d'une force d'attraction magnétique comporte une pièce métallique (330).
Abstract:
El respaldo (2) de las primeras butacas (3) de una fila de butacas anterior aloja una placa emisora (1) de infrarrojo lejano que está orientado hacia el asiento de unas segundas butacas (4) de una fila de butacas posterior, dirigiendo el calor hacia los usuarios de las segundas butacas. Dispone de un sistema de control remoto inalámbrico conectado a cada placa emisora (1) que gestiona el apagado y encendido, y la temperatura de cada placa emisora (1), de tal modo que sólo es necesario activar las placas emisoras (1) correspondientes a las butacas que están enfrentadas a las butacas que se encuentran ocupadas.
Abstract:
An adjustable-width mattress includes a support surface that has a length dimension and a width dimension perpendicular to the length dimension. The width dimension of the support surface may be varied.
Abstract:
A method for producing a loam mattress or (he like is described, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: preparing the basic components of the foam of the mattress or the like; preparing a compound of a first quantity o f phase change material (PCM), which is adapted to change its phase as a function of temperature, and a second quantity of thermo-chromic or thermo-sensitive pigment (TP), which is adapted to change its color as a function of temperature: producing said mattress or (he like by using said basic components and said compound.
