Abstract

An air mattress includes a mattress envelope having a compartment and comprising a thermal functional layer and an outer layer overlapped thereon and an air cushion including a plurality of individual air chambers evenly disposed in the compartment of the mattress envelope and an air supplying tube communicatively interconnecting the air chamber with each other. A thermal control arrangement includes a liquid supplying tube spirally extending at the thermal functional layer of the mattress envelope for guiding a flow of thermal liquid and a thermal energy generator arranged to regulate a temperature of the thermal liquid such that when the thermal liquid passes through the liquid supplying tube, the thermal liquid thermo-communicating with the thermal functional layer of the mattress envelope towards the outer layer so as to regulate a temperature of the mattress envelope.

Claims (17)

1. An air mattress, comprising:

a mattress envelope having a compartment and comprising a thermal functional layer and an outer layer overlapped thereon;

an air cushion, which is received in said mattress envelope, comprising a plurality of individual air chambers evenly disposed in said compartment of said mattress envelope and an air supplying tube communicatively interconnecting said air chambers with each other;

a thermal control arrangement, which comprises:

a liquid supplying tube spirally extending at said thermal functional layer of said mattress envelope for guiding a flow of thermal liquid; and

a thermal energy generator arranged to regulate a temperature of said thermal liquid such that when said thermal liquid passes through said liquid supplying tube, said thermal liquid thermo-communicating with said thermal functional layer of said mattress envelope towards said outer layer so as to regulate a temperature of said mattress envelope; and

a massaging arrangement for providing a massaging function of said air mattress, wherein said massage arrangement comprises a plurality of massaging units selectively disposed in said air chambers respectively, wherein each of said massaging units comprises an air bag supported in said respective air chambers to communicate with said air supplying tube and a massager which is supported on said air bag and is arranged in such a manner that when said air bag is pumped in an inflated manner, said respective massager is pushed upward for generating a massaging force towards said outer layer of said mattress envelope,

wherein each of said massaging units further comprises a suspension bag suspendedly supported in said respective air chamber to receive said air bag and said massager in said suspension bag, such that said respective massager suspendedly supported in said air chamber at a position that said massager is mounted underneath said outer layer of said mattress envelope so as to transfer said massaging force towards said outer layer of said mattress envelope.

2. An air mattress, comprising:

a mattress envelope having a compartment and comprising an outer layer;

an air cushion, which is received in said mattress envelope, comprising a plurality of individual air chambers evenly disposed in said compartment of said mattress envelope and an air supplying tube communicatively interconnecting said air chambers with each other; and

a massaging arrangement for providing a massaging function of said air mattress, wherein said massage arrangement comprises a plurality of massaging units selectively disposed in said air chambers respectively, wherein each of said massaging units comprises an air bag supported in said respective air chambers to communicate with said air supplying tube and a massager which is supported on said air bag and is arranged in such a manner that when said air bag is pumped in an inflated manner, said respective massager is pushed upward for generating a massaging force towards said outer layer of said mattress envelope,

wherein each of said massaging units further comprises a suspension bag suspendedly supported in said respective air chamber to receive said air bag and said massager in said suspension bag, such that said respective massager suspendedly supported in said air chamber at a position that said massager is mounted underneath said outer layer of said mattress envelope so as to transfer said massaging force towards said outer layer of said mattress envelope.

3. The air mattress, as recited in claim 2 , wherein said massaging arrangement further comprises draught bands connecting said suspension bags with each other.

4. The air mattress, as recited in claim 2 , wherein each of massaging units further comprises a massager bag provided on said air bag to receive said massager in said massager bag such that when said air bag is inflated, said massager is pushed upwardly towards said outer layer of said air envelope as a massaging point thereon.

5. The air mattress, as recited in claim 4 , wherein said respective air chamber is deflated when said corresponding air bag therein is inflated to retain a predetermined air pressure within said air chamber.

6. The air mattress, as recited in claim 5 , wherein each of said massager bags is mounted at a ceiling of said respective air chamber via hook and loop fasteners to retain said respective massager at a position underneath said outer layer of said mattress envelope.
