Abstract

A mattress and/or seat cushion for reducing pain and anaesthetization of parts of the human body include a stretchable fabric case made of textile threads and elastomer or rubber threads woven together to form a stretchable fabric. The case has a top layer with a top surface and a bottom surface and a bottom layer with a top or inner surface and a bottom or outer surface and the size to cover a cushion for a seat or mattress that fits on a cot or bed. The seat cushion or mattress also includes a relatively thin resilient pad disposed within the fabric case adjacent the bottom surface of the top layer and includes a number of passageways extending therethrough. In addition, a mass of cleaned sand and mountain salt is disposed within the fabric case below the resilient pad and below the bottom layer. Also included is a means for pumping air and medication into and out of the mattress which will impinge upon and pass around the body of an individual in order to wholly or partly enclose the person in a micro climate to promote healing, prevent bed sores and the like.

Claims

1. A fabric case for use as a cushion or mattress, said fabric case comprising:

a top layer having a top surface and a bottom surface and a bottom layer having an inner top surface and an outer bottom surface;

said fabric case comprising a stretchable fabric made of textile thread and elastomer thread woven together;

a thin resilient pad disposed within said fabric case adjacent said bottom surface of said top layer; and

a mass of cleaned and sieved sea sand and a mass of mountain salt disposed within said fabric case below said resilient pad and above said inner surface of said bottom layer and wherein the amount of said mountain salt is about 10 wgt. % of the amount of said sea sand.

2. A fabric case for use as a cushion or mattress according to claim 1 that includes means for pumping air into said fabric case and out of said top layer.

3. A fabric case for use as a cushion or mattress according to claim 2 which includes means for heating the air pumped into said fabric case.

4. A fabric case for use as a cushion or mattress according to claim 3 which includes means for dispensing medicine within said fabric case.

5. A fabric case for use as a cushion or mattress according to claim 2 which includes means for dispensing medicine into and out of said fabric case.

6. A medicated mattress for reducing pain, or anaesthetized portions of the human body, said mattress comprising;

a stretchable fabric case made of textile threads and elastomer threads woven together and having a top layer with a top surface and a bottom surface and a bottom layer with a top inner surface and a bottom outer surface and said stretchable fabric case sized to cover a cot or bed;

a thin resilient pad disposed within said fabric case adjacent said bottom surface of said top layer and including a number of passageways extending through said resilient pad;

a mass of cleaned sand and a mass of mountain salt disposed within said fabric case below said resilient pad and wherein the amount of mountain salt is about 10 wgt. % of the amount of said sand;

means for pumping air into said fabric case and through said passages in said resilient pad; and

means for heating the air pumped into said fabric case.

7. A medicated mattress for reducing pain, thrombosis or anaesthetization of the human body according to claim 6 which includes means for dispensing medication into said heated air.

8. A medicated mattress for reducing pain and anesthetization of various parts of the human body, said mattress consisting of:

a stretchable fabric case made of textile threads and elastomer threads woven together and having a top layer with a top surface and a bottom surface and a bottom layer with a top inner surface and a bottom outer surface and said stretchable fabric case sized to cover a cot or bed;

a thin resilient pad disposed within said fabric case adjacent said bottom surface of said top layer and including a number of passageways extending through said resilient pad;

a mass of cleaned sand and a mass of mountain salt disposed within said fabric case below said resilient pad and wherein the amount of mountain salt is about 10 wgt. % of the amount of said sand;

means for pumping air into said fabric case and through said passages in said resilient pad; and

means for heating the air pumped into said fabric case.
