Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Se conocen ya colchones hinchables con medios de regulación de la presión de hinchado para graduar la firmeza del colchón de conformidad con los deseos del usuario. Sin embargo, estos colchones adolecen de la desventaja de que quedan reducidos en la práctica a una simple cámara paralelepipédica de contención del aire de hinchado recubierta por una funda y no presentan una base de soporte propiamente dicha de la cámara de contención del aire ni tampoco una superficie superior expresamente diseñada para lograr una óptima distribución del peso del durmiente. Por tanto, este tipo de colchones es susceptible de mejoras que permitan acomodarlo mejor a las demandas de los usuarios.Inflatable mattresses with means of  inflation pressure regulation to adjust the firmness of the mattress in accordance with the wishes of the user. But nevertheless, these mattresses suffer from the disadvantage that they are reduced in practice to a simple parallelepipedic containment chamber of the swollen air covered by a sheath and do not have a support base itself of the containment chamber of the air nor an upper surface expressly designed to achieve an optimal distribution of the weight of the sleeper. So, This type of mattress is susceptible to improvements that allow better accommodate users' demands

Descripción detallada de la invenciónDetailed description of the invention

Como se desprende de las figuras 1 y 2 de los dibujos, el colchón 1 ilustrado comprende una gruesa base de soporte 2 constituida preferiblemente por una espuma de poliuretano, una espuma de poliéster, látex, muelles o cualquier otro material flexible con altas propiedades elásticas.As can be seen from figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, the mattress 1 illustrated comprises a thick base of support 2 preferably consisting of a polyurethane foam,  a polyester foam, latex, springs or any other material Flexible with high elastic properties.

Sobre la base de soporte 2 antes mencionada va dispuesto un núcleo hinchable 3 de material flexible recubierto por una capa de tejido (no representada). Este núcleo 3 está cerrado de tal manera que sea estanco al aire y lleva adherida en uno de sus extremos una válvula convencional 4 de apertura y cierre del paso del aire. Cuando dicha válvula 4 se encuentra abierta, puede efectuarse un intercambio de aire entre el núcleo hinchable 3 y el entorno de tal manera que el colchón 1 pierda o gane presión hasta adaptarse al peso o a las necesidades del durmiente que tiene encima, consiguiendo, además, una superficie de contacto máxima entre durmiente y colchón.On the basis of support 2 mentioned above goes arranged an inflatable core 3 of flexible material coated by a layer of tissue (not shown). This core 3 is closed from such that it is air tight and has one of its ends a conventional valve 4 opening and closing the passage from air. When said valve 4 is open, it can an air exchange between the inflatable core 3 and the environment so that mattress 1 loses or gains pressure until adapt to the weight or needs of the sleeper you have above, also achieving a maximum contact surface Between sleeper and mattress.

Por el contrario, cuando dicha válvula 4 se encuentra cerrada, no tiene lugar ningún intercambio de aire entre el núcleo hinchable 3 y el entorno, por lo que el colchón 1 permanece constante en su firmeza.On the contrary, when said valve 4 is is closed, no air exchange takes place between the inflatable core 3 and the surroundings, so the mattress 1 It remains constant in its firmness.

Como alternativa, el usuario puede tumbarse sobre el colchón 1 y cerrar la válvula 4 cuando éste haya alcanzado la firmeza deseada.As an alternative, the user can lie down on mattress 1 and close valve 4 when it has reached  The desired firmness.

El sistema de apertura y cierre comentado de la válvula 4, permitiendo o no la entrada y salida de aire, confiere al colchón 1 de la invención la novedad de que es posible efectuar una regulación de la firmeza de dicho colchón y del área de apoyo entre el durmiente y la superficie de descanso.The commented opening and closing system of the valve 4, allowing or not allowing air inlet and outlet, confers to the mattress 1 of the invention the novelty that it is possible to effect a regulation of the firmness of said mattress and the support area between the sleeper and the resting surface.

Encima de dicho núcleo hinchable 3 se encuentra dispuesta una plancha 6 de distribución de presiones fabricada en espuma de poliuretano, espuma de poliéster, látex o cualquier otro material flexible con altas propiedades elásticas. Esta plancha hace máxima la superficie de contacto entre el usuario y el colchón, mejorando con ello las prestaciones de descanso del colchón.Above said inflatable core 3 is arranged a pressure distribution plate 6 manufactured in polyurethane foam, polyester foam, latex or any other flexible material with high elastic properties. This iron maximizes the contact surface between the user and the mattress, thereby improving the resting performance of the mattress.

El colchón 1 según la invención incluye, además, un contorno de refuerzo 5 de espuma de poliuretano, espuma de poliéster, látex, muelles o cualquier otro material flexible con altas propiedades elásticas. Este contorno de refuerzo 5 presenta una firmeza superior a la de la base de soporte 2 y se extiende a lo largo de los dos lados mayores del paralelepípedo que forma el colchón 1 y de uno de los lados menores de éste, formando una especie de marco abierto abierto en uno de sus lados menores para permitir el acceso al núcleo hinchable 3 de dicho colchón.The mattress 1 according to the invention also includes a booster contour 5 of polyurethane foam, foam polyester, latex, springs or any other flexible material with high elastic properties This booster contour 5 presents a firmness superior to that of the support base 2 and extends to along the two major sides of the parallelepiped that forms the mattress 1 and one of the smaller sides of it, forming a kind of open frame open on one of its minor sides to allow access to the inflatable core 3 of said mattress.

El colchón 1 está encerrado dentro una funda 7 que lo envuelve por todos los lados, asomando al exterior únicamente la boquilla de la válvula 4, que cierra al núcleo hinchable 3, a fin de poder actuar libremente sobre el mismo.The mattress 1 is enclosed in a cover 7 that wraps it on all sides, peeking outside only the valve nozzle 4, which closes the core inflatable 3, in order to be able to act freely on it.

La estructura descrita del colchón 1 de la invención permite obtener un producto que se asemeja en buena medida a los colchones habituales, pero que presenta la particularidad de poder regularse en su firmeza merced al núcleo hinchable 3 incorporado y de ofrecer una superficie de descanso que se adapta perfectamente al cuerpo del usuario y favorece así una distribución óptima de las presiones ejercidas por éste sobre el colchón, con la consiguiente mejora de la calidad del descanso proporcionado.The described structure of mattress 1 of the invention allows to obtain a product that resembles in good measure to the usual mattresses, but which presents the particularity of being able to regulate in its firmness thanks to the core built-in inflatable 3 and offer a resting surface that It adapts perfectly to the user's body and thus favors a optimal distribution of the pressures exerted by it on the mattress, with the consequent improvement in the quality of rest provided.

La descripción anterior ha recogido las que se consideran como las características esenciales de la invención. No obstante, se comprenderá que la invención abarca también todas las variantes y modificaciones que pudieran ocurrírseles a los expertos en la materia y que caigan dentro del espíritu y alcance de las reivindicaciones adjuntas.The above description has collected those that are considered as the essential characteristics of the invention. Do not However, it will be understood that the invention also encompasses all variants and modifications that could occur to experts in matter and that fall within the spirit and scope of attached claims.
