Publication number: 20180271295Abstract: The present invention relates to fittings and an interior conduit to providing a continuous air flow path from a vertical wall of the box spring to a horizontal surface of the box spring to selectively supply to an inflatable volume integrated into a top surface of the box spring. Fittings are provided on a vertical wall for connection to an external source of air. Another set of fittings are provided on a top surface of the box spring for connection to an inflatable bladder, A conduit inside the box spring is connected to an interior nozzle on each of the fittings to provide a continuous flow path from the fittings on the vertical to the fittings on the horizontal surface. The side wall fittings allow an external source of air to be supported or alternatively provide a stable connection for a conduit. With such a configuration, a mattress being supported by a box spring can be maneuvered under the influence of the inflatable bladder without affecting the external source of air.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2017Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventor: William J.

Publication number: 20180271300Abstract: An air-conditioned mattress includes a mat device, a cover device, and an air-conditioning device. The mat device includes a first mat configured as a three-dimensional structure made from a plurality of elastic thermoplastic filaments that are randomly tangled with each other. The thermoplastic filaments are fixedly connected at contact portions of the thermoplastic filaments in a way that through holes are formed at non-contact portions of the thermoplastic filaments. The cover device covers the mat device and contacts the top surface of the first mat, and the first mat is more air-permeable than the cover device. The air-conditioning device is disposed inside or outside the mat device and provides heated air flow or cooled air flow into the first mat.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventor: YAO-I WANG
