Furniture device with adjustable firmness
The invention relates to a furniture device configured to receive the weight of a being, said furniture device having a holding arrangement (20) and at least one section (30). The section (30) comprises a base (2), a movable plate element (6), a moving mechanism (4) and at least one elastic device (12). The plate element (6) is configured to interact with the at least one elastic device and to be moved by the moving mechanism in respect to the base in order to adjust the firmness of the at least one elastic device. The elastic device comprises a pocket (14) made of a fabric, and an elastic member (18), the elastic member is arranged within said pocket, the pocket is attached to adjacent pockets whereby the attachment (32, 32) is formed so that adjacent elastic devices may move independently from one another along a distance (A), as measured from a free end of the elastic device and in a direction perpendicular to the plate member. The holding arrangement comprises a connecting portion (26) and a holding member (22), which is connected to the at least one elastic device via the connecting portion, such that the at least one elastic member is compressed and relaxed over its entire length during movement of the plate element in a respective direction, wherein the connecting portions are arranged on a straight line, which extends through the center of two or more attached elastic devices.
Heat and flame-resistance materials and upholstered articles incorporating same
A mattress, foundation, or other upholstered sleep product or article includes a core and barrier material surrounding the core. The barrier material includes flame and heat-resistant material that is configured to prevent combustion of the core when the upholstered article is impinged with a gas flame according to California Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The barrier material may include an intumescent material that is configured to swell and char in the presence of a flame so as to form a barrier to the flame and to heat generated by the flame.
MATTRESS SPRING CORE
A mattress spring core including a sheet and a plurality of spring core units arranged on the sheet. The spring core units are arranged in longitudinal strings, the strings being attached to the sheet side by side to form a rectangular shaped mattress spring core. The sheet is configured to stabilize the rectangular shape of the mattress spring core by preventing the spring core units of a first string to be displaced relative the spring core units of an adjacent string.
Spring module and spring cushion for furniture
The present invention provides a spring module for a spring cushion of furniture and a spring cushion having the same, the spring module may comprise a spring and a spring bracket for accommodating the conical spring, and the spring bracket may comprise a base, an end cover and a flexible connecting part connected therebetween, the spring may be fixed in the spring bracket with a predetermined initial pressure. The present invention further relates to a spring cushion having the spring module.
FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION WITH ELASTIC OR SPRING MODULES
Furniture is assembled from elastic modules enabling rapid and convenient assembly and disassembly. The elastic module has a spring, an outer covering layer, and an end member attached to an end face of the outer covering layer. A mattress includes a plurality of individual spring assemblies (145), with each spring assembly including at least one spring (134) and a spring cap (144, 150, 161, 164, 171, 184, 194, 204). Each spring cap has at least one first attachment fitting (168, 178, 174, 186, 196) and at least one second attachment fitting (169, 180, 176, 187) with each first attachment fitting engageable into or onto and removable from a second attachment fitting of an adjoining spring cap. The spring assemblies are attached to each other via the first and second attachment fittings, forming the individual spring assemblies into a spring core. A top pad is positioned on top of the spring core. The mattress can be quickly dis-assembled and stored in a compact space by removing the top pad and separating the spring assemblies from each other.
SPRING CORE WITH INTEGRATED CUSHIONING LAYER
A spring core is provided that includes a plurality of coil springs having an upper portion and a lower portion that collectively define an interior cavity. The spring core further includes a continuous upper fabric layer that covers each coil spring and defines a recess in the interior cavity of each coil spring. A cushioning layer is positioned atop the continuous upper fabric layer and extends into the recess in the interior cavity of each coil spring. A mattress assembly is further provided that includes the spring core, an upper body supporting layer, and a lower foundation layer. Methods of producing a spring core are further provided.
METHOD FOR CUSTOMIZING AND ASSEMBLING ELASTIC CUSHION FOR USER TO SIT AND LIE ON
An elastic pad for furniture can be customized and assembled by a user. The elastic pad includes an outer cover, an elastic module layer and at least one elastic pad layer. A side enclosure of the outer cover is detachably connected with a top cover body, and the side enclosure is detachably connected with the bottom cover body. The elastic pad is configured to allow a user to select a desired type and/or a desired number of elastic module layers and elastic pad layers, and to further select the side enclosure based on a thickness of the elastic module layer and elastic pad layer, and assemble the top cover body, the bottom cover body, the selected side enclosure, and the selected elastic module layers and elastic pad layers together to obtain the elastic pad.
Sofa Seat Cushion Core
An apparatus and method are provided for a sofa seat cushion comprising a cushion core including a multiplicity of pocketed springs enclosed within an upholstery foam envelope. The pocketed springs are positioned side by side in a spring layer arrangement and are independently operable. A memory foam layer positioned above the upholstery foam envelope comprises a material capable of molding to a person's body sitting on the sofa seat cushion and then quickly returning to an original shape once the person leaves the sofa seat cushion. The memory foam layer comprises a gel-infused visco-elastic memory foam with a polyethylene terephthalate layer positioned there above. Directly below the upholstery foam envelope is an upholstery-grade polyurethane foam layer with a polyethylene terephthalate layer positioned directly thereunder. An exterior upholstery surrounding the cushion core provides a plush seating surface.
ELASTIC MODULE BALANCING PAD, ELASTIC PAD, AND FURNITURE
A balancing pad for furniture includes a pad body having a first pad surface with receiving holes extending in the thickness direction of the pad body. Each receiving hole is configured to receive a portion of a corresponding elastic module of an elastic base pad, to restrict movement of the elastic modules in the transverse direction of the pad body. A second pad surface is provided with a vent structure. After assembled to form an elastic pad, the balancing pad restricts movement of elastic modules and allows the elastic pad to be rapidly restored with good support properties. The balancing pad can improve stability, recoverability and support performance, providing higher comfort and a more hygienic environment.
Pocket coil spring assembly including flexible foam
A pocket coil spring assembly is provided that includes a coil spring having an upper portion and a lower portion collectively defining an interior cavity of the coil spring. The pocket coil spring assembly further includes a fabric pocket encasing the coil spring with a top area covering the upper portion of the coil spring and a bottom area covering the lower portion of the coil spring. An amount of flexible foam is positioned in the interior cavity of the coil spring such that a top surface of the flexible foam extends above the coil spring. A mattress assembly is further provided that includes a plurality of the pocket coil spring assemblies.
