Air Mattress - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049891 titled 'Air Mattress
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an automatically adjusting air mattress that includes multiple air chambers arranged within a mattress frame. Each air chamber has a set air pressure contained within it. There is also a base chamber coupled within the mattress frame and located below the air chambers. The air chambers are connected by interconnecting air lines and corresponding air valves, which are coupled to a source of air pressure used to adjust the air pressure in each chamber. Pressure sensors are also coupled to the air valves to indicate the current air pressure in each chamber. These sensors are configured to detect changes within the air chambers, causing the set air pressure in each chamber to be adjusted in order to maintain a defined arrangement of air pressure values.
- The invention is an automatically adjusting air mattress with multiple air chambers.
- Each air chamber has a set air pressure contained within it.
- The mattress also includes a base chamber located below the air chambers.
- Interconnecting air lines and corresponding air valves connect the air chambers.
- The air valves are coupled to a source of air pressure used to adjust the air pressure in each chamber.
- Pressure sensors are coupled to the air valves to indicate the current air pressure in each chamber.
- The pressure sensors detect changes within the air chambers and adjust the set air pressure to maintain a defined arrangement of air pressure values.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Healthcare: The automatically adjusting air mattress can be used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals or nursing homes, to provide customizable support and pressure relief for patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility.
- Home use: The air mattress can be used in homes as a comfortable and adjustable sleeping surface, allowing individuals to personalize their level of support and firmness.
- Camping and outdoor activities: The portable and adjustable nature of the air mattress makes it suitable for camping or other outdoor activities where a comfortable sleeping surface is needed.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Pressure relief: The ability to adjust the air pressure in each chamber allows for targeted pressure relief, reducing the risk of pressure sores and improving overall comfort.
- Customizable support: The air mattress provides customizable support by allowing users to adjust the firmness and support level to their preference.
- Adaptability: The automatic adjustment feature ensures that the air mattress maintains a consistent and optimal level of support, even as the user's position or body weight changes.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced comfort: The ability to adjust the air pressure in each chamber allows for personalized comfort and support, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
- Pressure sore prevention: The targeted pressure relief provided by the air mattress helps reduce the risk of developing pressure sores, particularly for individuals who are immobile or have limited mobility.
- Versatility: The air mattress can be used in various settings and for different purposes, making it a versatile solution for both healthcare and personal use.
Original Abstract Submitted
an article of manufacture for providing an automatically adjusting air mattress according to the present invention is disclosed. the automatically adjusting air mattress includes a plurality of air chambers arranged within a mattress frame, each of the plurality of air chambers having a set air pressure contained within, a base chamber coupled within the mattress frame and below the plurality of air chambers, one or more interconnecting air lines coupling the plurality of air chambers and corresponding air valves, the air valves being coupled to a source of air pressure used to adjusted air pressure in each of the plurality of air chambers, and one or more pressure sensors coupled to the one or more corresponding air valves indicating a current air pressure with each of the plurality of air chambers, each of the one or more pressure sensors being configured to detect changes within one or more of the plurality of air chambers causing the set air pressure within each of the plurality of air chambers to be adjusted to maintain a defined arrangement of air pressure values within each of the plurality of air chambers.
