Abstract
An inflatable bed includes an inflatable main chamber having a top panel, a top cover attached to the top panel of the main chamber to define a sealed chamber between the top cover and the top panel, and a padding provided in the sealed chamber. The padding provides a solid cushion between the person and the main chamber, so that when a person sleeps on the bed, the person actually lays on the padding and not the top panel of the main chamber.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to mattresses and beds, and in particular, to an inflatable bed.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Inflatable beds and mattresses have become increasingly popular in recent times. There are a number of reasons for this increasingly popularity. First, inflatable beds can be deflated and folded into a small size, making them small and lightweight, and therefore (i) easy to carry around during camping, travel and other similar uses, and (ii) easy and convenient to Store. Second, these inflatable beds are typically provided with pumps that can quickly and conveniently inflate and deflate the bed, making the beds easy to deploy and store.
- Despite these advantages that are being offered by the conventional inflatable beds, certain disadvantages still exist. For example, existing inflatable beds are not very comfortable to sleep on. Thus, there still remains a need for additional improvements to the conventional inflatable beds that would provide additional comfort and convenience for users.
- It is an objective of the present invention to provide an inflatable bed that provides improved sleeping comfort to the user.
- It is another objective of the present invention to provide an inflatable bed where the firmness can be adjusted.
- It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide an inflatable bed which can be easily and conveniently deployed and folded for storage and re-deployed for use.
- The objectives of the present invention can be accomplished by providing an inflatable bed having an inflatable main chamber having a top panel, a top cover attached to the top panel of the main chamber to define a sealed chamber between the top cover and the top panel, and a padding provided in the sealed chamber. The padding provides a solid cushion between the person and the main chamber, so that when a person sleeps on the bed, the person actually lays on the padding and not the top panel of the main chamber, thereby increasing the level of comfort and simulating the feeling of sleeping on a regular bed.

This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
-
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate aninflatable bed 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Theinflatable bed 10 has three primary components: amain chamber 12, apadding 14 and atop cover 16. - The
main chamber 12 is essentially a rectangular chamber formed by fourside walls 20, abottom panel 22, and atop panel 24. The fourside walls 20, thebottom panel 22 and thetop panel 24 are all provided in a weather-proof, leak-proof, water-proof and airtight material, such as PVC, polyester laminated with a PVC backing, nylon coated with PVC, cotton coated with PVC, rayon coated with PVC, polyester/cotton coated with PVC, any fabric coated with PVC, and any plastic sheeting, among others. Themain chamber 12 can be filled with air, liquids (e.g., water) or any similar substance to form a base for thebed 10. The air or liquid can be introduced via aninlet valve 26 that is provided in one of theside walls 20, thebottom panel 22 or thetop panel 24.FIGS. 1-3 illustrate one embodiment where theinlet valve 26 is provided in aside wall 20. For example, a conventional pump (not shown) can be attached to theinlet valve 26 to inflate and deflate themain chamber 12. Acomfort control valve 28 can also be provided in one of theside walls 20.FIGS. 1-3 illustrate one embodiment where thecomfort control valve 28 is provided in aside wall 20. Thecomfort control valve 28 allows the user to adjust the firmness of thebed 10 by selectively releasing some of the air or liquid inside themain chamber 12. For example, when themain chamber 12 is fully inflated, the user can open thecomfort control valve 28 slightly by turning clockwise to obtain the desired firmness, and then close thevalve 28 by turning it counter-clockwise. - The
padding 14 can be provided in the form of an open cell visco-elastic foam which is housed inside a sealedchamber 34 that is defined by thetop cover 16 and thetop panel 24 of themain chamber 12. The padding 14 functions to provide a contoured sleeping posture and maximum sleeping support. For example, thepadding 14, which can be any conventional bed padding available in the marketplace, provides extra support to a sleeping body since the open cells of the visco-elastic foam have a memory that shapes the natural contour of the human body during sleep. - The
top cover 16 can be made from a weather-proof, leak-proof, water-proof and airtight material, such as a fabric with a PVC, or plastic backing, or any of the materials described above for theside walls 20, thebottom panel 22 and thetop panel 24. In one embodiment of the present invention, thetop cover 16 can be made from the same material as the fourside walls 20, thebottom panel 22 and thetop panel 24. Thetop cover 16 extends over the top of thepadding 14 along the sides of thepadding 14, and has side edges that are stitched, heat-fused or otherwise attached to the top of theside walls 20 of themain chamber 12 to define thesealed chamber 34. The sealedchamber 34 preferably retains thepadding 14 in a loose-fitting manner such that air can be introduced into the sealedchamber 34. For example, avacuum valve 36 allows air or liquid to be introduced or removed to allow thepadding 14 to be easily rebounded for packing and storage. The term “rebounded” refers to the return of thepadding 14 to its original state. For example, the foam of thepadding 14 is compressed when thepadding 14 is vacuum packed and rolled up. When avacuum valve 36 is opened and air is introduced into the sealedchamber 34, the sealedchamber 34 expands, and allows thepadding 14 to quickly return to its original (expanded) state. - The introduction to and removal of air to and from the sealed
chamber 34 facilitates faster and more effective packing and storage of thebed 10. If the air inside the sealedchamber 34 is not released during the rolling and packing of thebed 10, the air in the sealedchamber 34 will cause the entire bed to roll up like a balloon. When thevacuum valve 36 is opened during rolling or packing, the air inside the sealedchamber 34 is forced out of the sealedchamber 34, thereby allowing thepadding 14 to be easily compressed to its smallest size for rolling and packing. - Thus, the present invention improves upon the conventional inflatable beds by providing the
padding 14 on top of themain chamber 12. In contrast, in conventional inflatable beds, the person normally sleeps directly on top of an inflated chamber (without any padding), so the person can feel that the bed is rather soft. Thepadding 14 of the present invention provides a solid cushion between the body and the air/liquid-filledchamber 12. When a person sleeps on thebed 10, the person actually lays on thepadding 14 and not thetop panel 24 of themain chamber 14. This will increase the level of comfort and simulates the feeling of sleeping on a regular bed. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a modification that can be made to thebed 10 ofFIGS. 1-3 . A stretchinflatable tube 50 can be provided along the peripheral edge of thetop cover 16 along the connection between the edges of thetop cover 16 and thetop panel 24 of themain chamber 12. Thetube 50 can be inflated via aninlet 52. Alternatively, a tubing (not shown) can be provided to connect themain chamber 12 andtube 50 so that thetube 50 is inflated when themain chamber 12 is inflated. Thetube 50 helps in the inflation and deployment of theinflatable bed 10. Specifically, thetube 50 can be deflated when thebed 10 is rolled up for storage. When thebed 10 is to be deployed for use, thebed 10 is unrolled and thechamber 12 and thetube 50 are both inflated. When thetube 50 is inflated, it will force thetop cover 16 to open flat and smooth as themain chamber 12 is inflated. As a result, air can be more easily introduced into the sealedchamber 34 and thepadding 14 can be rebounded more easily. - While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
