HEALTH CARE AIR BED
Abstract
A health care air bed having a mattress. The mattress includes
several support air cells which are assembled at intervals on the
mattress and are mutually connected with each other. Furthermore, a
spongy mat is laid on the mattress so as to provide a level surface
for the bed. A mouth is utilized for extracting and inflating air.
The mouth is assembled at a side of the mattress. The support air
cells are divided into five strips which support the neck, back,
waist, hip and leg of human body respectively. This invention is
applicable to a single air chamber or a double air chamber. The
mattress for queen size and king size beds have two separate air
chambers. In accordance with physiological characteristics of the
human body, this invention designs support points at an interval so
that the neck, back, waist, hip and leg of the human body can be
effectively supported that is helpful to a person's health and
extends human life.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates to furniture. Specifically, the
present invention relates to a health care air bed.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Existing beds provide uniform support for a human body, but
does not effectively support all parts of the human body. As a
matter of fact, different parts of the human body require different
support structures. By sleeping on an existing mattress for a long
period of time, a human body may be seriously injured. A body is
especially susceptible to injury to the backbone from the neck to
the tailbone, which may result in distortion of the neck and
backbone. Additionally, lack of sleep for a long period of time may
result in neurasthenic.
[0005] Accordingly, an apparatus is needed which provides
sufficient support to all parts of the human body. It is an object
of the present invention to provide such an apparatus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] In one aspect, the present invention is a novel health care
air bed designed in accordance with psychological characteristics
of the human body, which is comfortable, convenient, solid and
durable. The health care air bed includes a plurality of support
air cells protruding over the mattress which are assembled at
horizontal interval in relation to the mattress and which are
connected with the support air cells. In addition, a spongy mat is
laid on the surface of the mattress. Several grooves matching the
air cells are made under the spongy mat for positioning the air
cells upon. Thus, each groove is matched to support a single air
cell. The air cell also includes an opening for extracting and
inflating air into the air cell. The opening is preferably located
at the side of the mattress.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a mattress in the preferred
embodiment of the present invention;
[0008] FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a spongy mat utilized on the
mattress of FIG. 1;
[0009] FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the mattress configured as a
double bed; and
[0010] FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the mattress configured as a
queen size bed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The present invention is a health care air bed providing
support to all parts of the human body. Referring to FIG. 1, the
health care air bed includes a mattress 1 and a plurality of
support air cells 4 assembled at intervals on the mattress 1. The
air cells are connected to the mattress 1. An opening (mouth) 3 for
inflating and extraction air is assembled at one side of the
mattress 1.
[0012] The support air cells are divided into 5 strips which are
designed to provide support to the neck, back, waist, hips and legs
of the human body. Preferably, the mattress is constructed of a
fabric and PVC which can be welded by a high-frequency welding
machine. The spongy mat is preferably made of 25 kg/m.sup.3 foaming
cotton. The present invention is applicable to any size bed, such
as a single bed, a double size bed, a queen size bed, or a king
size bed.
[0013] Referring to FIG. 2, a plurality of grooves 5 are located on
the underside of a spongy mat 2. Referring to FIG. 3, the spongy
mat 2 is laid on the mattress 1, thereby leveling the top surface
of the bed. Each groove 5 is matched to support a single air cell
4.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 3, a double size bed 6 which is
approximately 39'' wide and 74'' long is illustrated. The support
air cell is preferably divided into 5 strips which support the
neck, the back, the waist, the hip and the legs of human body
respectively.
[0015] Referring to FIG. 4, a queen size bed 7 which is
approximately 60'' wide and 80'' long is illustrated. Two separate
air chambers 8 are made inside the mattress of the queen size bed
7. Each air chamber 8 may be filled separately. Thereby, every
person may adjust the softness and hardness of the bed according to
the body of each person, which ensures a good sleep for the
user.
[0016] The present invention provides many advantages over existing
beds. The present invention provides support at various points of
the human body to effectively support the neck, back, waist, hips
and legs of the human body. If utilized for an extended period of
time, a user may enjoy a health benefit which may extend the user's
life. The present invention is simple to manufacture and provides
for a low production cost. The material only requires a proper cut
and may be welded when producing the mattress.
[0017] While the present invention is described herein with
reference to illustrative embodiments for particular applications,
it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto.
Those having ordinary skill in the art and access to the teachings
provided herein will recognize additional modifications,
applications, and embodiments within the scope thereof and
