Abstract:
This disclosure describes a synergistic pairing convective and conductive thermal regulating system and process that can include a convective thermal regulating device and a conductive thermal regulating device. The convective thermal regulating device can be configured to induce an artificial temperature change in the conductive thermal regulating device. For example, the convective thermal regulating device can heat or cool the ambient environment to elevate or reduce the temperature of the conductive thermal regulating device to a selected temperature range. The conductive thermal regulating device can initiate rapid heat transfer from a user into the conductive thermal regulating device to achieve and maintain optimal user comfort in a selected temperature range in the conductive thermal regulating device, and concurrently in a microclimate and/or microenvironment. Operation of the convective thermal regulating device can be controlled based on maintaining the selected temperature range, allowing for decreased utilization of the convective thermal regulating device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Head support (2), particularly a pillow, comprising: - an comfort element (29) comprising a resting surface (R) for a head of a sleeping individual to rest on; - air supply means (28) with one or more air holes (281) configured to discharge air towards the resting surface (R) or to draw in air from the resting surface (R); - one or more fluid connections (4) to provide an airflow to or from the air supply means (28).
Abstract:
A pillow is provided that includes a first panel having an edge defining a perimeter. A second panel has an edge defining a perimeter. A gusset joins the first and second panels. The gusset has a first porosity. The gusset includes a plurality of ports. The ports each have a second porosity that is greater than the first porosity.
Abstract:
A ventilating or heating/cooling element having a first side having an air permeability of 15-800 m 3 /m 2 /h at 120 Pa. The first side is for directing an air flow toward a person. The ventilating/cooling/heating element may form or form part of a mattress, a duvet/blanket, a pillow, a sleeping bag, a seat, a clothes item or the like. A pump may be provided for providing air into the ventilating/cooling/heating element, or one or more openings may be provided for receiving air when a person is moving, such as when riding a motor cycle.

Abstract:
A pillow is provided that includes a foam core and a gel insert molded to each side of the foam core. Methods of producing a pillow are further provided and include a step of providing a foam molding system having a top mold defining a plurality of air ports and a bottom mold defining a plurality of air ports. A vacuum is applied to the plurality of air ports in both the top mold and bottom mold, and a gel insert is then positioned against each of the plurality of air ports. A foam precursor is subsequently dispensed into the bottom mold atop the gel insert, and the top mold is secured to the bottom mold. The foam precursor then expands within the foam molding system and bonds with the two gel inserts to produce a pillow having a gel insert molded to each side of the pillow.
Abstract:
Ein Matratzen-, Topper-, Schoner-, Bettdecken- oder Kissenbezugsstoff (1), insbesondere für den Bezug von Matratzen, Matratzenschonern, Matratzenhüllen, Toppern, Kissenhüllen, Trikothüllen oder Unterbetten, weist mindestens eine Stoffschicht (2) aus einer Strick-, Wirk- oder Webware mit einer einem Matratzen-, Topper-, Schoner-, Bettdecken- oder Kissenkern im bezogenen Zustand abgewandten Außenseite (21) und einer dem Matratzen-, Topper-, Bettdecken - oder Kissenkern im bezogenen Zustand zugewandten Innenseite (22) auf, wobei zumindest auf einem Teilbereich der Innenseite (22) ein Kühlgel (3, 5) aufgebracht ist. Desweiteren wird ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen einer Kühlgelschicht auf einem Matratzen-, Topper-, Schoner-, Bettdecken- oder Kissenbezugsstoff (1) beschrieben.
Abstract:
A support cushion for is provided that includes a core comprised of a first flexible foam and a sleeve comprised of a second flexible foam. The sleeve has a first side and a second side opposite the first side that together encapsulate the core. The support cushion further includes an amount of phase change material that is incorporated into at least one of the first side or the second side of the sleeve.
Abstract:
A support cushion for providing individualized heating and cooling to a user resting on the support cushion is provided. The support cushion includes a body supporting portion, a plurality of thermoelectric elements positioned and configured to selectively provide heating or cooling of the body supporting portion, and a heat dissipating portion that is comprised of a flexible foam having a plurality of cells with a reticulated cellular structure and that is operably connected to the thermoelectric elements. Methods of controlling a surface temperature of a support cushion are also provided.
