Abstract

The present invention relates to a supporting module (100) for use in an adaptive sleep system and to a sleep system comprising such supporting modules, the resistance (resilience) of which can be adapted in a simple manner to the anatomy and/or posture of a user. The supporting module (100) for an adaptive sleep system comprises an uppermost supporting element (110), at least two drive shafts (140, 140′), at least two leaf springs (130, 130′) positioned parallel to one another, each leaf spring (130, 130′) including a first and a second end, each first end being connected to the first supporting element, and each second end being in contact with an adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′) via a coupling element (150), wherein the position of the second end of a leaf spring (130, 130′) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′) determines the deformation resistance of this leaf spring (130, 130′), and wherein the coupling element (150) has been configured to transmit the rotational motion of at least one drive shaft (140, 140′) to the leaf spring (130, 130′), in order to modify the position of the second end of the leaf spring (130, 130′) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′).

The supporting module (100) for an adaptive sleep system comprises an uppermost supporting element (110), at least two drive shafts (140, 140'), at least two leaf springs (130, 130') positioned parallel to one another, each leaf spring (130, 130') including a first and a second end, each first end being connected to the first supporting element, and each second end being in contact with an adjacent drive shaft (140, 140') via a coupling element (150), wherein the position of the second end of a leaf spring (130, 130') with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140') determines the deformation resistance of this leaf spring (130, 130'), and wherein the coupling element (150) has been configured to transmit the rotational motion of at least one drive shaft (140, 140') to the leaf spring (130, 130'), in order to modify the position of the second end of the leaf spring (130, 130') with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140').
