AIR MATTRESS WITH AUTOMATIC PITCH ADJUSTMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086063 titled 'AIR MATTRESS WITH AUTOMATIC PITCH ADJUSTMENT

The adjustable air mattress described in the patent application consists of multiple air chambers with a sleeping surface, an electronic control unit, an air pump connected to the control unit, and air valves that regulate the release of air in each chamber. Additionally, there are level sensors that determine the angle of the sleeping surface and check if it falls within a specific range. If the angle is outside this range, the control unit adjusts the air in the chambers using the air pump or valves.

• The mattress has multiple air chambers with a sleeping surface.
• An electronic control unit manages the air pump and air valves.
• Level sensors determine the angle of the sleeping surface.
• The control unit adjusts the air in the chambers based on the angle detected.
• The system ensures the sleeping surface remains within a predetermined level range.

Potential Applications: - Home use for personalized comfort during sleep. - Medical facilities for patients requiring adjustable sleeping positions. - Hospitality industry to offer guests customizable sleeping experiences.

Problems Solved: - Provides personalized comfort by adjusting the sleeping surface angle. - Ensures users maintain a healthy sleeping posture. - Offers a solution for individuals with specific sleeping preferences or medical needs.

Benefits: - Enhanced comfort and support during sleep. - Improved sleep quality and posture. - Customizable sleeping experience for users.

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Adjustable Air Mattress Technology for Enhanced Sleep Comfort This technology can be marketed to mattress companies, medical facilities, and hotels seeking to provide a unique and customizable sleeping experience for their customers.

Questions about Adjustable Air Mattress Technology: 1. How does the level sensor determine the angle of the sleeping surface? The level sensor measures the tilt of the mattress to determine the angle of the sleeping surface accurately.

2. What are the potential benefits of using an adjustable air mattress? Using an adjustable air mattress can improve sleep quality, provide personalized comfort, and support better posture during sleep.

Original Abstract Submitted

An adjustable air mattress includes a plurality of air chambers having a sleeping surface, an electronic control unit, and an air pump communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit and fluidly coupled to the plurality of air chambers. A plurality of air valves are communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit and are configured to permit or inhibit a release of air within each respective air chambers. A plurality of level sensors are communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit, determine an angle of the sleeping surface, and determine whether the angle of the sleeping surface is within a predetermined level range. When the angle of the sleeping surface is not within the predetermined level range, the electronic control unit controls at least one of the air pump and the plurality of air valves to adjust an amount of air in at least one of the plurality of air chambers.
