DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 10 thereof, a new mattress with hidden compartment
system embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of
the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10
will be described.
[0022] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10, the mattress and
hidden compartment combination system 10 comprises a mattress 12
having a top surface 14, a bottom surface 16 and a perimeter edge
18 extending between the top 14 and bottom 16 surfaces. The
perimeter edge 18 includes a head edge 20, a foot edge 21, a first
lateral edge 22 and a second lateral edge 23. The mattress 12 is
generally conventional and will typically include a plurality of
layers of cushioning material to achieve a desired compressibility
to restitution ratio and will further include an outer covering to
encase the plurality of layers. The mattress 12 has a cavity 24
therein extending downwardly through the top surface 14 and may
extend through the bottom surface 16. The cavity 24 is spaced from
the first 22 and second 23 lateral edges and is adjacent to the
head edge 20. More particularly, the cavity 24 is equally spaced
from the first 22 and second 23 lateral edges and may extend into,
i.e. through, the head edge 20 and will typically be, at most, less
than 1.5 feet from the head edge 20.
[0023] A housing 30 is positionable in the cavity 24 of the
mattress 12 so that the housing 30 is accessible from above the
mattress 12. The housing 30 includes a main body 31 having a bottom
wall 32 and a perimeter wall 33 that is attached to and extends
upwardly from the bottom wall 32. The perimeter wall 33 includes a
front wall 34, a rear wall 35, a first side wall 36 and a second
side wall 37. A lid 38 is pivotally coupled to the main body 31 and
is positionable in a closed position restricting access to an
interior of the main body 31 or in an open position allowing access
to the interior. The lid 38 has an upper surface 39 having a well
40 therein configured for storing articles. The lid 38 may be
formed by a base wall 41 and a peripheral wall 42 extending
upwardly from the base wall 41 such that the peripheral wall 42
bounds the well 40. The peripheral wall 42 may have an upper edge
43 that is even with or positioned below a top edge 44 of the
perimeter wall 33. Alternatively, the peripheral wall 33 may extend
upwardly from the main body 30 and form a "box" positioned on top
of the main body 30. A biasing member 45 may be included which is
mechanically coupled to the main body 31, or more particularly the
perimeter wall 33, and the lid 38. The biasing member 45 biases the
lid 38 into the open position. The biasing member 45 may comprise a
pneumatic or spring actuated piston and cylinder, for example,
though any biasing assembly used for opening a door or cover may be
utilized. The upper edge 43 may include one or more cord receiving
notches 46.
[0024] The housing 30 further includes a top cover 50 including a
rigid panel 51 that is hingedly coupled to the lid 38, or main body
31, and covers the lid 38 when the top cover 50 is in a closed. A
cushioning portion 52 may be attached to and covers the rigid panel
51. The cushioning portion 52 has an upper surface that is
substantially flush with the top surface 14 and matches a covering
of the mattress 12 to visually obscure the housing 30 as it is
positioned in the mattress 12. In this manner, the housing 30 is
substantially hidden in a manner that a person would not notice its
location unless that location was already known to the person.
[0025] Additional useful attachments for the housing 30 may include
drink container holders, not shown, which are collapsible into or
against the housing 30 such that they extend outwardly away and/or
up from the housing 30 when needed. Such drink container holders
may include integrated heated or cooling systems. Furthermore, the
housing 30 itself may include a refrigerated compartment for
holding items that are required to be kept cold such as medications
though the refrigerated compartment may be used for retaining food
or beverages cooler than ambient temperature. The refrigerated
compartment may be kept in the main body 31 or within the cover 50
and would including a cooling unit 75 electrically coupled to the
control assembly 60 so that it may be adjusted to a desired
temperature by a user of the system 10.
[0026] Within the housing 30 a holster 53 may be attached to a
bottom side of the lid 38 such that the holster 53 is positioned in
an interior of the housing 30 when the lid 38 is in the closed
position. The holster 53 has a generally conventional shape and
structure used for holding a handgun and includes a receiving end
54 configured for receiving a firearm. The receiving end 54 is
angled upwardly when the lid 38 is in an open position to
facilitate gripping of a handle of the firearm. That is, when the
lid 38 is opened, a handle of a handgun will be directed toward the
person opening the lid 38 so that the handle may be gripped while a
nozzle of the handgun is pointed downwardly away from the
person.
[0027] A lock assembly 55 releasably locks the lid to the main body
30. The lock assembly 55 may include one or more of various, known
lock devices used to secure the interior of the housing 30 from
unauthorized access. For example, the lock assembly 55 may include
a keypad for entering an alphanumeric code, a biometric actuated
lock such as fingerprint 56, facial or retinal recognition devices,
key actuated locks 57 (such for putting a numerical code),
mechanical combination locks and the like. Should the lock assembly
55 include actuating means such as entering a code or scanning
fingerprints, a user's face or retina, the lock assembly will
include a power source. The lock assembly 55 may further include a
tamper resistant setting wherein failure to correctly actuate the
lock assembly 55 to an unlocked condition sets off an alarm which
may include audible alarms and wireless signaling to a remote
device, such as a cellular phone or computer.
[0028] A control assembly 60 is mounted in the housing 30. The
control assembly 30 will include a conventional processor and
memory storage module which can be programmed as needed for the
various tasks to be performed by the system 10. The control
assembly 60 will typically be electrically coupled to the lock
assembly 55. A power input 61 is electrically coupled to the
control assembly 60. The power input 61 will generally comprise a
power plug 26 that is pluggable into a standard outlet of a
dwelling and which extends into the housing 30 from the rear
thereof. The power input 61 may further include a power backup
source such as a battery that is stored within the housing and
which is used should power from the dwelling fail.
[0029] A control input 62 is in communication with the control
assembly 60. The control input 62 may include a plurality of input
devices that are used alone or in conjunction with each other to
actuate the control assembly 60 and thereby control the various
functions of the system 10. The control input 62 may include an
integrated actuation device that may further include a display
screen. As such, the control input 62 may include a touch screen
that is mounted on the lid and accessible when the top cover 50 is
opened. The touch screen will display options as well as current
settings and available options as programmed on the control
assembly 60. The control input 62 may further include remote
devices in wireless communication with the with the control
assembly 60. A wireless transceiver 63 may be electrically coupled
to the control assembly to allow communication with the remote
devices by way of IEEE 802.11 WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave,
cellular data communications or other common wireless protocols.
The remote devices may be programmed with applications to integrate
with the control assembly 60 and such devices may include desktop
computers, laptop computers, cellular phones, tablet computers and
the like.
[0030] The wireless transceiver 63 allows the control assembly to
communication with other systems within a dwelling or home. Many
homes now are termed "smart homes" and include appliances and
consumer goods which communicate with a home's wireless network and
are controllable remotely with various interface devices (cellular
phones, entertainment hubs, cloud based voice services, etc.). Some
smart home systems include a centralized connection point though
some smart home connection devices are stand alone devices.
Regardless, the wireless transceiver 63 may be used to communicate
with and control appliances and goods connected to the wireless
network or may communicate directly with those appliances and goods
configured to be wirelessly controlled. Thus, for example, should a
person have a table lamp that is capable of being wirelessly
controlled, the control assembly 60 may be used by way of the
control input to turn the table lamp on or off. In this same manner
the control assembly could be used to control virtually any aspect
of a person's home including, as by way of examples, interior and
exterior lighting, thermostat settings, cooking appliances, coffee
makers, security systems, security cameras (and viewing security
camera images on the display), garage door openers, entertainment
systems (music, television, movie theaters), door locks, etc. The
control assembly 60 may route signals to these smart home devices
64 for use by the user or receive signals for use on controlling
other items and smart home devices. In an embodiment whereby the
wireless transceiver 63 accesses information from wireless network
related to home security the control assembly 60 routes at least a
portion of the information to the display screen for the user. The
information from the wireless network related to home security may
include, but is not limited to video from security cameras, video
from video doorbells, alarm status, fire alarm status, CO alarm
status, water detection status, and emergency bulletin
information.
[0031] A sound emitter 64 may be mounted on the housing and is
electrically coupled to the control assembly 60. The sound emitter
64 may have a variety of uses including playing music, receiving
feedback from the control assembly, used as an intercom with other
wireless devices found within a home, a speaker for telephone
conversations, an alarm signal and the like. The sound emitter 64
may be used as an alarm to awaken a user of the system at a
preselected time (i.e. alarm clock feature of the control assembly)
or if a security breach has been detected in the home and a
wireless signal related to such is received by the control
assembly. A microphone 65 may further be mounted on the housing and
electrically coupled to the control assembly. The microphone 65, in
tandem with the sound emitter 64, allows the system to be used as
an intercom. Furthermore, the microphone may be used as an input
device wherein a user of the system 10 simply speaks instructions
and commands to the control assembly 60. The control assembly 60
may also be coupled to tactile response assemblies such as
vibrating devices that may be used to signal a person on the
mattress 12 and these tactile response assemblies may be used for
either waking the person or alerting the person to other alarm
conditions described above.
[0032] A temperature sensor 66 may be mounted on the housing 30 or
adjacent thereto and electrically coupled to the control assembly
60. The temperature sensor 66 may be used by the user of the system
10 to wirelessly control a thermostat setting within a house so
that an ambient temperature of the room in which the mattress 12 is
positioned is lowered or raised depending on user preferences. The
control assembly 60 may therefore be used to set a desired ambient
temperature. The temperature sensor 66 may further be used to
determine if the mattress 12 itself has a temperature that is
outside pre-selected parameters. If so, a built in mattress cooling
and/or heating system may be actuated by the control assembly 60 to
alter a temperature of the mattress itself.
[0033] A power output 67 is mounted in the housing 12 and is
electrically coupled to the power input 61. The power output 67 may
be provided in a number of configurations including low power
outlets, high power outlets, wireless charging pads 68 (inductive
charging assembly) and the like. If a wireless charging pad is
utilized, it may be built into the lid 38 itself, for instance, so
that a user need only set a compatible cellular phone in the well
to charge the cellular phone. The power outlets may be comprised of
USB outlets 69 as well as three pronged outlets to allow for all
conventional plugs to be used with the system 10.
[0034] An accelerometer 70 may be mounted on the housing 30 and be
electrically coupled to the control assembly 60 to help determine
movement on the mattress 12 itself. The accelerometer 70 may be
used for a variety of purposes including sleep monitoring and
security functions. For security, the accelerometer 70 may be used
to determine if there is movement on the mattress 12 during times
when there should be none, such as during afternoon hours, and upon
detecting such movement by the accelerometer 70, the control
assembly 60 may wirelessly send a security breach signal to a
cellular phone by way of a cellar signal or an internet connection
of the house.
[0035] One or more light emitters 71 are in communication with the
control assembly 60 and are provided to illuminate the housing 30
and/or areas adjacent to the mattress 12 as needed. For example, a
light emitter 72 may be mounted in the well 40 and/or the interior
of the housing 30 to illuminate those areas when the lid 38 or
cover 50 is opened. The control assembly 60 may be actuated to
select a light output of the light emitters 71 to dim or brighten
each as needed or to turn the light emitters 71 on or off. Further,
the light emitters 71 may be remote from the housing 30 such as
adjacent to or under the mattress for illuminating areas around the
mattress 12. The remote light emitters may be connected to the
control assembly 60 in a wired fashion or simply in wireless
communication with the control assembly. Light sensors 73 may also
be in communication with the control assembly 60 to detect ambient
light and thereafter control the light output of the light emitters
71 based on preselected parameters so that, for example, the light
emitters 71 are not fully powered when turned on in a relatively
dark room so that the light output is not blinding to the user of
the system 10. Switches 74 mounted on the lid 38 may be used to
control some or all of the light emitters 71.
[0036] FIGS. 6-9 include an embodiment wherein the lid 38 is
positioned completely on top of the main body 31. As can be seen in
FIG. 6, the control assembly 60 may be positioned within the
interior of the main body 31 to prevent access thereto while the
lid 38 is in a locked position. FIG. 7 includes a side key lock 57,
such as a common barrel lock with a finger print reader 80 and a
plurality of numeric selectors 81 to allow a code to be entered if
the finger print reader 80 is not working or the system is being
used by someone who does not have a stored finger print. This
version further includes headphone jacks 82 that are electrically
coupled to the control assembly 60 for allowing a person to listen
to other devices, such as televisions, wirelessly in communication
with the control assembly. FIG. 8 provides a power adaptor 84 that
is electrically coupled to the control assembly 60 and which
provides an outlet 85 for electrically plugging in a lamp 86 or
other electric device for direct control thereof by the control
assembly 60.
[0037] The embodiments in FIGS. 8 and 9 further include a fold line
88 which allows a portion of the top cover 50 to folded back to
expose the fingerprint reader 80 and numeric selectors 81. This
allows for easy access to lifting the lid 38 without having to lift
a large portion of the top cover 50. As should be understood, the
lock assembly 55 and all actuators therefore as well as switches 74
or all other tactile controls that are mounted on the housing 30,
may either be mounted on the main body 31 or be part of the cover
50 or be mounted on both. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the lock
controls are mounted on the main body 31 while switches 74 are
positioned on the cover 50. Conversely, FIG. 7 includes an
embodiment wherein the cover 50 supports the lock controls as
well.
[0038] FIG. 10 includes an embodiment of the mattress 12 having a
pair of cavities 90, 91 therein and an insert 93 that will be made
of foam or other cushioned material similar to the material of the
mattress 12 so that the user may select which cavity 90, 91 they
will utilize for holding the housing 30. One cavity 90 will be
adjacent the head edge 20 and one cavity will be adjacent to the
foot edge 21. Each is centrally located relative to the first 22
and second 23 lateral edges. This allow the mattress 12 to be
flipped over or rotated and still allow the housing 30 to be
positioned adjacent to the person's head.
[0039] In use, the mattress 12 is used a conventional mattress for
sleeping on and may have any selectable size though typically the
mattress will have a king or queen size. The housing 30 allows a
person to store valuables or weapons within the interior of the
main body 31 while the well 40 in the lid 30 provides for storage
of personal articles such as cellular phones, watches, keys and the
like. The well 40 is also used for charging of small electronics.
The control assembly 60 may be utilized for controlling a whole
host of wirelessly equipped smart appliances and electronics as
stated above as well as being used to monitor a security condition
of a house in which the system 10 is deployed.
[0040] With respect to the above description then, it is to be
realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts
of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations
in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one
skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those
illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are
intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
[0041] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only
of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous
modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in
the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact
construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly,
all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to,
falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent
document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense
to mean that items following the word are included, but items not
specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element
by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the possibility that
more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly
requires that there be only one of the elements.
