Abstract
The disclosed technology includes an internal support structure for providing structural stability to an inflated airbed. The internal support structure may include an internal support wall connected to side panels by one or more side support beams. The internal support structure may further include corner support walls and a plurality of internal support beams to provide additional support.
Claims14
An inflatable mattress comprising:
- a top panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- a bottom panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- a plurality of outermost side panels connected to one another and connected to and disposed between the top surface and the bottom surface to form an airtight chamber and define a mattress shape, each of the plurality of outermost side panels having (i) an interior surface, (ii) an exterior surface, and (iii) first, second, and third arc-shaped segments, wherein the first arc-shaped segment and the second arc-shaped segment are joined together at a first vertex, and the second arc-shaped segment and the third arc-shaped segment are joined together at a second vertex;
- an internal support wall attached to the interior surface of the top panel and the interior surface of the bottom panel, the internal support wall being air-permeable and forming a central chamber within the airtight chamber that has a shape generally equivalent to the mattress shape, wherein any two adjacent side panels of the plurality of side panels meet to form a corner having an interior surface and an air-permeable corner support wall extends from the interior surface of each corner to a respective corner of the internal support wall;
- a first side support beam attached to an attachment point of the internal support wall and to the interior surface of a corresponding side panel of the plurality of outermost side panels at the first vertex of the side panel;
- and
- a second side support beam attached to the attachment point of the internal support wall and to the interior surface of the corresponding side panel at the second vertex of the side panel,
- wherein each of the first and second side support beams is approximately equal to a length of the corresponding side panel.

An inflatable mattress comprising:
- an outer chamber having:
- four sides, each side in airtight connection with two adjacent sides and forming a corner with each of the two respective sides, each corner having an interior surface, and each side comprising first, second, and third arc sections, wherein the first arc section and the second arc section are joined together at a first vertex, and the second arc section and the third arc section are joined together at a second vertex;
- a top in air-tight connection with the four sides;
- and
- a bottom in air-tight connection with the four sides;
- an inner chamber having four inner support walls, each of the inner support walls being air-permeable and attached to the top and the bottom, wherein an air-permeable corner support wall extends from a respective interior surface of each corner to a respective corner of the inner chamber;
- and
- a first side support member and a second side support member, the first support member being attached to a side of the four sides at the first vertex, the second support member being attached to the side of the four sides at the second vertex, and both of the first and second side support members being attached to an inner support wall at a common attachment point.
