Cushioning element for mattresses, pillows and the like
A cushioning element ( 1 ) such as a mattress or a pillow for beds and the like, consisting of a support surface ( 2 ) having at least one primary hole ( 5 ) provided with at least two portions consecutive to each other in longitudinal section. The portions ( 5 a , 5 b ) have different cross-section widths and are separated from each other by a transition region. The element ( 1 ) further has a base surface ( 3 ) opposite to said support surface ( 2 ), in which a secondary hole ( 7 ) is formed.
1. A mattress comprising:
a parallelepiped main body at least partly made of latex, the parallelepiped main body having a support surface provided with a plurality of primary holes with an axial extension transverse to the support surface,
the primary holes comprising, from the support surface towards an inside of the mattress, a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, consecutive to each other, each having a cylindrical conformation and a circular cross section, the primary holes also comprising two transition regions placed between said first portion and second portion and between said second portion and third portion respectively, the first portion being placed in correspondence of the support surface and having a circular cross section with a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the second portion, the second portion having a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the third portion,
the transition region placed between said first portion and second portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the first portion towards the second portion, the transition region between the second portion and the third portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the second portion towards the third portion.
2. Mattress as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said primary holes are dead holes.
3. Mattress as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the parallelepiped main body has a base surface opposite to the support surface, the base surface being provided with a plurality of secondary holes of a frustoconical extension and tapering away from said base surface.
4. A prismatic pillow having a rectangular peripheral conformation comprising:
a main body at least partly made of latex, the main body having a support surface provided with a plurality of primary holes with an axial extension transverse to the support surface,
the primary holes comprising, from the support surface towards an inside of the prismatic pillow, a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, consecutive to each other, each having a cylindrical conformation and a circular cross section, the primary holes also comprising two transition regions placed between said first portion and second portion and between said second portion and third portion respectively, the first portion being placed in correspondence of the support surface and having a circular cross section with a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the second portion, the second portion having a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the third portion,
the transition region placed between said first portion and second portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the first portion towards the second portion, the transition region between the second portion and the third portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the second portion towards the third portion.
5. Prismatic pillow as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said primary holes are disposed at a central area of said prismatic pillow.
6. Prismatic pillow as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the main body has a base surface opposite to the support surface, the base surface being provided with a plurality of secondary holes of a frustoconical extension and tapering away from said base surface.
7. Prismatic pillow as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said secondary holes are disposed in a contour area of said prismatic pillow.
8. A cushioning element for mattresses, pillows or cushions comprising:
a support surface provided with a plurality of primary holes with an axial extension transverse to the support surface, the primary holes comprising, from the support surface towards an inside of the cushioning element, a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, consecutive to each other, each having a cylindrical conformation and a circular cross section, the primary holes also comprising two transition regions placed between said first portion and second portion and between said second portion and third portion respectively, the first portion being placed in correspondence of the support surface and having a circular cross section with a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the second portion, the second portion having a diameter greater than the diameter of the circular cross section of the third portion,
the transition region placed between said first portion and second portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the first portion towards the second portion, the transition region between the second portion and the third portion presenting a cross section progressively decreasing from the second portion towards the third portion.
