Patent NZ-721715-A (NZ)
Title: Uni-directional rigidifier and method
Inventor: OWENS W
IPC: A47C27/04
Filed: 2014-04-25
Abstract: Various types of tension members have been used in furniture seats and sofa mattresses for many years. Coil, sinuous, and flat or leaf springs have often been employed to provide comfort for the user. A foldable mattress that employs springs must carefully balance the tension so that the user is comfortable both while sitting with the mattress folded in sofa mode and while the user is in a prone position with the mattress unfolded or extended in bed mode. A sofa mattress that is either “too hard” or “too soft” brings discomfort and causes loss of sleep. Therefore to address the problem of providing the optimum tension and comfort in a sofa mattress, the present invention provides a uni-directional rigidifier for a foldable mattress for use in sofa beds. The rigidifier has an arcuate, elongated shape, with a U shaped cross-section. A lateral slits along the rigidifier and a pair of opposing slit apertures in communication with the lateral slit allow the rigidifier to easily flex when a load is applied while in an upright position. When the rigidifier is in an inverted position, an applied load causes the slit to close and the rigidifier to stiffen. The method describes the use of the uni-directional rigidifier in a foldable sofa bed mattress.
