Abstract
Bioconditioning device for objects, such as seats, couches, particular items of clothing and the like, with surfaces susceptible of making contact with body parts. The device includes at least one surface layer made of permeable material, susceptible of making contact with a body part, and at least one internal layer in which at least one channel is defined; the inside of the channel is connected to the surface layer and can be connected to a suction device. The suction device draws a flow of air from outside through the surface layer to facilitate evaporation and removal of any sweat excreted by the body part which is in contact with the surface layer.
Claims21
Bioconditioning device for objects, such as seats, couches, particular items of clothing and the like, with surfaces susceptible of making contact with body parts, comprising at least one surface area made of permeable material, susceptible of making contact with a body part, and at least one channel which communicates between said at least one surface area and a chamber which is subjected to a suction means for drawing air from outside and through said at least one surface area, through said at least one channel, through said chamber, and through an outlet means connected to said chamber, thereby facilitating evaporation and removal of any sweat excreted by the body part in contact with said at least one surface area, the bioconditioning device further comprising an internal layer defining a longitudinal extension and comprising an elastically flexible body through which a plurality of parallel tubular bodies extend, said at least one channel being constituted by a plurality of channels defined in said tubular bodies, said channels communicating with said surface area by means of first passages which are defined in said tubular bodies on a side thereof facing said surface area, wherein said channels are closed at one end thereof, said chamber comprising a manifold arranged in communication with said channels at another end thereof, said suction means being connected to said manifold.
Bioconditioning device for objects, such as seats, couches, particular items of clothing and the like, with surfaces susceptible of making contact with body parts, comprising:
- a porous surface layer made of permeable material which is susceptible of making contact with a body part;
- an internal layer which comprises a plurality of channel elements;
- an intermediate elastic porous support layer made of permeable material which is arranged between said porous surface layer and said internal layer;
- a chamber which is in communication with said plurality of channel elements;
- a plurality of passages upwardly provided in said plurality of channel elements for communication between said intermediate layer and said channel elements;
- and
- a suction means connected with said chamber for drawing air from outside and through said surface layer, through said intermediate layer, through said plurality of passages, through said plurality of channel elements, through said chamber, and through an outlet means connected to said chamber,
- thereby facilitating evaporation and removal of any sweat excreted by the body part in contact with said surface layer.
