Adjustable mattress structure
View Patent ↗An adjustable mattress structure comprises a mattress body in which there are a plurality of hollow bases, a plurality of elastic support units, a plurality of adjustable positioning boards and a plurality of spring positioning bodies. Each of the elastic support units consists of a first encapsulated elastomer and a second encapsulated elastomer. The first encapsulated elastomer depends on spring positioning bodies to be fixed on one of the hollow bases so that the second encapsulated elastomer extends inside the hollow base. Each of the adjustable positioning boards is fixed inside a hollow base and used to receive a second encapsulated elastomer; the adjustable positioning boards in the hollow bases are situated at distinct positions by which the adjustable positioning boards make the elastic support units generate distinct resilient bearing capacities for adjustable mattress firmness supporting a body curve.
1. An adjustable mattress structure which has a mattress body comprising:
a plurality of hollow bases arranged along a length and a width of the mattress body wherein each of the hollow bases has a top surface with openings thereon and an anterior side with one opening, and comprises several slide seats located on both lateral walls and symmetrically arranged from top to bottom;
a plurality of elastic support units, each of which consists of a first encapsulated elastomer and a second encapsulated elastomer wherein the first encapsulated elastomer and the second encapsulated elastomer each have a top and a bottom, the second encapsulated elastomer is held inside the first encapsulated elastomer so that the bottom of the second encapsulated elastomer is allowed to extend from the bottom of the first encapsulated elastomer, and each first encapsulated elastomer is arranged and fixed on one of the hollow base's top surface so that the bottom of the second encapsulated elastomer extends into one of said openings on said one of the hollow base's top surface; and
a plurality of adjustable positioning boards, each of which penetrates a corresponding one of said plurality of said hollow base through said one opening on the corresponding hollow base's anterior side and is positioned and held in slide seats at both sides of the corresponding hollow base, located below the bottom of the second encapsulated elastomer, each of said adjustable positioning boards being thereby adjustable in height.
2. An adjustable mattress structure according to claim 1 wherein each first encapsulated elastomer includes at least a spring wrapped in an encapsulated package and each second encapsulated elastomer includes at least a spring wrapped in an encapsulated package so that the first encapsulated elastomer and the second encapsulated elastomer have tops at the same height and the second encapsulated elastomer is hung in the first encapsulated elastomer.
3. An adjustable mattress structure according to claim 1 wherein each second encapsulated elastomer is greater than a corresponding first encapsulated elastomer in length and is less than the corresponding first encapsulated elastomer in diameter and the second encapsulated elastomer keeps a certain distance from the corresponding first encapsulated elastomer in which the second encapsulated elastomer is held.
4. An adjustable mattress structure according to claim 1 wherein two adjacent hollow bases are separated by a spacer member attached to each of the hollow bases to reduce noise caused by friction.
