  • Patent number: 9622589
    Abstract: An air mattress with an internal pump, includes a plurality of air cell groups lined up in a lengthwise direction of the air mattress, each of which groups is made from a plurality of bladder-shaped cells, all of the bladder-shaped cells of said air cell groups being rod-shaped cells extending in a widthwise direction of the air mattress, and being lined up in the lengthwise direction of the air mattress, an air supply/release pump, an air tube linking said air cell groups and said air supply/release pump in a system for each air cell group of two or more air cell groups out of said air cell groups, a connector for connecting said air supply/release pump and said air tube detachably, and a controller for controlling the pressure within the bladder-shaped cells for each of the air cell groups among the air cell groups.

  • Patent number: 9326904
    Abstract: An air mattress with an internal pump has a plurality of air cell groups lined up in the lengthwise direction of the air mattress. Each of air cell groups has a plurality of bladder-shaped cells lined up in the lengthwise direction of the air mattress. The air mattress has an air supply/release pump; and an air tube linking the air cell groups and the air supply/release pump in an independent system for each air cell group out of two or more air cell groups. All of the bladder-shaped cells are rod shapes extending in the widthwise direction of the air mattress, and the length of the air cell groups corresponding to the leg area of a reclining person is up to 30% less than that of the other bladder-shaped cells, leaving a space between there and the edge of the air mattress in which the air supply/release pump is disposed.

  • Patent number: 8967975
    Abstract: There is provided a centrifugal air blower that can reduce driving force (consumed driving force) when an air blower is rotated, and also increase an airflow amount of air to be blown out from the air blower. A centrifugal air blower having an impeller 1 comprising a main plate 3 and plural vanes 2, and a side plate having a suction port and a blow-out port is characterized in that when the height of the suction port is represented by H, the height of the blow-out port is represented by h, the diameter of the impeller is represented by D and the diameter of the suction port is represented by d, 0.5<h/H<0.8 and 0.78<d/D<0.84 are satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20120311790
    Abstract: Provided is an air mattress with an internal pump wherein an air supply/release pump can be contained within the space occupied by a conventional air mattress. The ease of handling, ease of performing caretaking work, and ease of maintenance of the pump are improved without reducing comfort. The air mattress with an internal pump has a plurality of air cell groups lined up in the lengthwise direction of the air mattress. Each of air cell groups has a plurality of bladder-shaped cells lined up in the lengthwise direction of the air mattress. The air mattress has an air supply/release pump; and an air tube linking the air cell groups and the air supply/release pump in an independent system for each air cell group out of two or more air cell groups.

  • Publication number: 20110127019
    Abstract: A bell-mouth structure of an air blower provided around a blade wheel of an axial-flow air blower for guiding air from an air suction side of the blade wheel to an air blow-out side including an air blow-out wall portion that intercommunicates with an air blow-out opening and extends substantially along an axial direction of the blade wheel, and a slope wall portion that intercommunicates with the air blow-out wall portion and slopes to an air suction opening so as to expand in diameter. When the overall height of the bell-mouth is represented by H, the height of the slope wall portion is represented by h and a slope angle of the slope wall portion is represented by ?, the bell mouth structure is configured so as to satisfy 0.33?h/H?0.42 and 60°???70°.
