Patent number: 8486316Abstract: Continuous manufacture of at least a layer of latex foam with recesses of unlimited length to be divided in a plurality of blocks of latex foam by transverse cuts. The layer has a thickness between 10 and 20 cm and more. The process includes advancing along a predetermined longitudinal direction a metal laying surface provided with protuberances, gelating, curing. The process includes: a) Before depositing the latex foam inserting, by interference fit, supporting elements of resilient deformability having a predetermined thickness between pairs of protuberances of horizontal rows, the supporting elements of unlimited length; b) Carrying away the supporting elements with the advancing laying surface between an injection latex foam station and a layer extracting station; c) Embedding with latex foam the supporting elements. Advantageously the process forwards the blocks to a washing station and squeezes the blocks to a thickness reduction between 3% and 5% of their initial thickness.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Sapsa Bedding S.R.L.Inventors: Luciano Abrigo, Renzo Villa

Publication number: 20120261851Abstract: Process to manufacture a composite foam including at least two foams with cellular structure, at least one of them being a latex foam. The present process avails itself of the steps of preparing separately the forming mixtures of the foams of cellular structure; mixing independently the one from the other forming mixtures; foaming separately each of the forming mixture; sending separately the foams obtained into a single mixing installation; mixing the foams until to manufacture the composite foam. Preferably the composite foam is deposited on a laying surface to form rest articles for example mattresses provided with recesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2011Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: Sapsa Bedding SrlInventors: Luciano Abrigo, Renzo Villa, Daniele Stafforini

Patent number: 8087917Abstract: A plant for manufacturing a continuous latex foam layer (2) to form mattresses (6) provided with cells (5). The plant comprises a plurality of laying planes (7) provided with a plurality of separate tables (13) separately arranged side by side to form a surface for the foam deposit. Each table comprises protuberances (14) and the arrangement of the protuberances on a table can differ from that of the juxtaposed tables in order to create supporting areas for the different body parts of the user. Preferably the tables (13) with their protuberances (14) are slidably fitted onto the laying planes (7) and can be easily and quickly replaced with separately provided tables having protuberances (14) differently arranged in order to meet the support capacity values required by different users.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Sapsa Bedding SRLInventors: Luciano Abrigo, Pasquale De Michele, Renzo Villa

Publication number: 20110083279Abstract: A panel for a mattress including first and second fabric layers joined together along their edges and a padding material between said fabrics. The padding material includes at least a layer of resilient foam provided with through-holes. The foam layer is quilted between the first and second fabric layers. A method of manufacturing the panel includes forming a resilient foam body provided with recesses, horizontally cutting a plurality of single layers in the body in the recesses portion to result in at least one layer with through-holes, sandwiching at least one of the single layers provided with through-holes in each panel between the first and second fabric layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2010Publication date: April 14, 2011Applicant: SAPSA BEDDING SrlInventors: Luciano Abrigo, Renzo Villa, Bruno Macció

Publication number: 20100003497Abstract: Process for continuous manufacture of latex foam rest articles (2, 38) such as mattresses, cushions and the like comprising a part (18) able to participate to the manufacture steps and to remain embedded in the article with consequent improvements of final performances. A flexible perforated band, preferably a flat polymeric material net (18) with longitudinal and cross reinforcement members (19), is placed over a foam laying surface (3) provided with protuberances (7) and in continuous advancement between a foam laying station (4) and an unlimited length article extraction station (5). The latex foam passes through net holes (20) forming an upper portion (24) and a lower portion (23) relative to said net. The net continuously opposes contraction forces and weight force exerted from upper portion on lower portion. The unlimited length article is subjected to successive cross cuts originating rest articles wherein a foam embedded net is arranged on ends of recesses originated by the protuberances.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: SAPSA BEDDING SRLInventors: Luciano Abrigo, Renzo Villa
