Mattress mount with a foam block
A mattress mount that has a paddle, a riser and an air conduit clamp. The riser spaces the paddle apart from the air conduit clamp at different elevations. A compressible, resilient cushion is secured to a flat surface of the paddle. The paddle with cushion is positioned underneath a mattress to compress the cushion. The paddle extends from the riser to terminate at ta free end. The air conduit claim extends outwardly from the riser to terminate at free ends. The paddle and the air conduit clamp extend at different elevations and in opposite directions from the riser to terminate at their respective free ends.
1. A mattress mount, comprising:
a paddle that has a surface and is elongated to extend from a proximal end to a free end where the paddle terminates;
a riser extending from the proximal end of the paddle to reach a higher elevation than that of the paddle;
an air conduit clamp protruding outward from the riser at the higher elevation reached by the riser, the air conduit clamp and the paddle extending at different elevations and in opposite directions away from the riser; and
a resilient, compressible foam block secured to the surface of the paddle,
wherein the resilient, compressible foam block is compressed under a mattress into a compressed condition yet resiliently expands from the compressed condition to fill gaps otherwise that arise over time between the resilient, compressible foam block and the mattress.
2. The mattress mount of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of ribs that extend parallel to each other between the surface of the paddle and the riser.
3. The mattress mount of claim 1 , wherein the paddle has an underside with a plurality of ribs intersecting each other in a grid pattern.
4. The mattress mount of claim 1 , wherein the resilient, compressible foam block is adhered to the surface of the paddle.
5. The mattress mount of claim 1 , wherein the riser includes a plurality of height extending links that are releasably engaged with each other one over another.
6. A method of assembling a mattress mount, comprising:
compressing a resilient foam block that is secured to a surface of a paddle;
extending a riser upwardly from a proximal end of the paddle to reach a higher elevation than that of the paddle, the paddle being elongated to extend from the proximal end and terminate at a free end;
protruding an air conduit clamp outward from the riser at the higher elevation reached by the riser, the air conduit clamp and the paddle extending at different elevations and in opposite directions away from the riser; and
compressing the foam block into a compressed condition under a mattress yet resiliently expanding portions of the mattress from the compressed condition to fill gaps otherwise that arise over time between the foam block and the mattress.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
extending a plurality of ribs parallel to each other between the surface of the paddle and the riser.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
equipping an underside of the paddle with a plurality of ribs intersecting each other in a grid pattern.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
adhering the foam block to the surface of the paddle.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the riser includes a plurality of height extending links, further comprising:
releasably engaging the height extending links with each other one over another.
11. A method of assembling a mattress mount, comprising:
compressing a resilient foam block that is secured to a surface of a paddle;
extending a riser upwardly from a proximal end of the paddle to reach a higher elevation than that of the paddle, the paddle being elongated to extend from the proximal end and terminate at a free end;
protruding an air conduit clamp outward from the riser at the higher elevation reached by the riser, the air conduit clamp and the paddle extending at different elevations and in opposite directions away from the riser; and
accommodating increases in a size of variable gaps between the mattress and a mattress platform by allowing the compressed foam block to expand to fill the gaps.
12. A method of assembling a mattress mount, comprising:
compressing a resilient foam block that is secured to a surface of a paddle;
extending a riser upwardly from a proximal end of the paddle to reach a higher elevation than that of the paddle, the paddle being elongated to extend from the proximal end and terminate at a free end;
protruding an air conduit clamp outward from the riser at the higher elevation reached by the riser, the air conduit clamp and the paddle extending at different elevations and in opposite directions away from the riser; and
accommodating increases in a size of variable gaps between the mattress and a mattress bedframe by allowing the compressed foam block to expand to fill the gaps.
