Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed apparatus, in particular an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation can include a rail system such as a detachable rail system, which can be configured to conceal mechanical and support substructure beneath the mattress support surface of the adjustable bed. In some embodiments, the rail system includes a mounting element and a corresponding rail or board mounted to the adjustable foundation, such as to the subframe of the adjustable foundation. The adjustable foundation can include independently adjustable lumbar and neck support structures on an adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation. In some embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include inflatable air bladder structures.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed, in particular incorporating improved power management systems. In various embodiments, an adjustable bed can include a wirelessly chargeable remote control unit, one or more pulse width modulator units to provide DC power at a variety of voltages appropriate for varied peripheral electrical components of the bed, and/or a battery backup unit providing power to the bed in addition to a mains power input. The various power management systems can reduce wire clutter for peripheral electrical components, permit a wider range of peripheral electrical components to be driven by a single power supply, provide for adjustable bed operation in the absence of mains power supply, and reduce power consumption in different operation modes.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation or bed, in particular having a dual-tilt adjustable foundation. Upper and lower segments of the adjustable foundation subframe are rotatable relative to each other, thus allowing the upper portion of the subframe to tilt and assume an inclined, flat/horizontal, or declined position relative to the lower portion of the subframe. An articulating mattress support surface above the subframe can move independently from the tilting subframe.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns a handheld wireless remote control in communication with a cellular network infrastructure that is adapted to transmit adjustable bed control signals to an adjustable bed controller via one of a standard wireless connection, RF, Bluetooth or WiFi in response to the user input. The remote control can receive, on the touch screen, feedback from the adjustable bed controller indicating the success of the control signal.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method for forming foamed shoe insoles as well as related shoe and shoe component articles. A foamed polymer having an open-cell foam interior structure and a continuous outer layer or skin can be formed conveniently such as by injection molding. The foamed polymer has a shape corresponding to two opposing shoe insole portions such that it can be cut or otherwise separated into two corresponding complementary foamed shoe insoles. The resulting open-cell foam interior structure and a continuous outer layer of the foamed shoe insoles can provide enhance spring or bounce effect when the insoles are incorporated into a shoe or sole component thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an adjustable bed facility including a system for executing a computer-based safety-action during a motor-actuated adjustable bed position adjustment, comprising an adjustable bed facility comprising a computer-based controller, an actuator, and a sensor, the computer-based controller providing control of adjustable bed position adjustments, the actuator configured to adjust a height of the adjustable bed facility upon receiving a height-adjustment command from the computer-based controller, and the sensor for determining an actuator action parameter measured value of the actuator, the computer-based controller in communicative connection with the sensor to monitor and compare the motor action parameter measured value to an actuator action parameter normal operation value range, and when the controller determines the monitored motor action parameter measured value is outside the range of the actuator action parameter normal operation value range the controller sends a safety-ac

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation or bed, in particular having a tri-fold adjustable foundation. Three segments of the adjustable foundation, including a mattress support surface with three deck support sections and a subframe with three longitudinal support sections, are foldable/rotatable around two opposing pivot axes such that the three segments can be positioned in a folded, overlapping configuration that is convenient for shipping/transportation, having substantially smaller maximum dimensions than the adjustable foundation in a flat, non-folded configuration. The folded adjustable foundation can be conveniently unfolded and locked into a flat, non-folded configuration suitable for use to support a mattress and a person sleeping/resting thereon.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an adjustable bed and foundation thereof, in particular incorporating springs or other support elements into the adjustable bed foundation or frame. The adjustable bed can include one or more foundation spring support sections mounted on or in a mattress support surface of the bed foundation. Spring support sections having different firmness levels in different mattress support sections can provide a varying support level to a user of the adjustable bed foundation combined with a mattress thereon. Spring support sections that are discrete from each other can permit articulation of the corresponding mattress support surface sections without creating bending, elongation, and/or compression stresses which might otherwise cause uneven support from or damage to a continuous spring support element spanning multiple mattress support surface sections.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a vibration motor assembly. The vibration motor assembly includes a vibration motor, at least one flexible connector adapted to suspend the vibration motor from a bed frame support surface, and a controller adapted to control the vibration motor. The vibration motor assembly further includes an attachment means for attaching the flexible connector to the bed frame support surface and/or an attachment means for attaching the controller to the bed frame support surface or a corresponding bed facility. The vibration motor assembly can be provided in the form of a kit including the vibration motor, the flexible connector(s), the controller, and optionally a remote control and/or further mounting elements for attaching the flexible connector(s) and/or the controller to a bed frame support surface, such as part of an adjustable bed facility or a fixed bed facility which can further include a mattress supported thereon.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation and bed, in particular having a low vertical profile while maintaining a full range of motion for articulation of its various deck support sections. In various embodiments, a deck support section of an adjustable bed can include an open area in the deck support surface. The open area is positioned relative to an actuator mounted beneath the deck support section and support surface such that a portion of the actuator occupies the open area during at least some of the normal range of motion of the actuator and corresponding deck support section. The additional space provided by the open area allows inclusion of an otherwise bulky actuator mechanical component in a vertically smaller space, permitting the adjustable bed to have an overall lower vertical profile.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation includes lateral and/or longitudinal support members as part of an adjustable base frame positioned below a mattress support. The lateral and longitudinal support members, along with a fixed base frame portion of the foundation are preferably formed from a lightweight material such as wood. The lateral and longitudinal support members provide sufficient vertical support structure to accommodate a mattress and bed occupants on the adjustable platform, as well as electrical and mechanical components of the adjustable foundation below a mattress support deck.
