Abstract

A cover for an elastic pad and furniture has at least one inner core layer comprising an elastic material layer, an outer wrapping cover removably wrapping the at least one inner core layer, and stop hems folded downwards from peripheral edges of the cover, forming an inner space configured to receive and shield a pad layer of the elastic pad. Only the outer wrapper need be removed for cleaning. The stop hems extend about the peripheral edges of the cover to form the inner space for receiving and shielding the pad layer of the elastic pad when the elastic pad is assembled. Assembly of the elastic pad is made more convenient and storage space required for the elastic pad is reduced.

First claim

I claim:

1 . A cover for an elastic pad, wherein the cover comprises: at least one inner core layer comprising an elastic material layer; an outer wrapping cover comprising a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall to enclose and form a receiving space, the outer wrapping cover configured to selectively and removably enclose wrapping the at least one inner core layer within the receiving space; and stop hems folded downwards from peripheral edges of the cover along a thickness direction of the elastic pad and extending a predetermined distance, thereby forming an inner space with an open end configured to selectively and removably receive and shield a pad layer of the elastic pad.

2 . The cover of claim 1 , wherein the stop hems are formed by portions of the outer wrapping cover that are folded downwards from the peripheral edges of the cover and extend the predetermined distance.

3 . The cover of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inner core layer is folded downwards from the peripheral edges of the cover and extends the predetermined distance to form a folded layer, and the outer wrapping cover is folded downwards from the peripheral edges of the cover and extends the predetermined distance to form a folded cover, wherein the folded cover wraps the folded layer to form the stop hems.

4 . The cover of claim 1 , further comprising an edge connection structure configured to be connected to a bottom layer of the elastic pad.

5 . The cover of claim 4 , wherein the stop hems and the edge connection structure cooperate to form the elastic pad without enclosed side coverings.

6 . The cover of claim 5 , wherein the edge connection structure comprises a plurality of connection ropes spaced apart along a peripheral direction of the elastic pad.

7 . An elastic pad comprising:
an elastic support layer comprising a plurality of elastic modules arranged in a transverse direction of the elastic pad; a pad layer laid on the plurality of elastic modules of the elastic support layer; and the cover of claim 1 ; wherein the cover is laid on the pad layer, and the pad layer is received and limited within the inner space.

8 . The elastic pad of claim 7 , wherein at least two opposing stop hems are connected to a bottom layer of the elastic pad via an edge connection structure.

9 . The elastic pad of claim 7 , wherein the stop hems extend to a position adjacent to a bottom layer of the elastic pad and keeps a predetermined gap from the bottom layer of the elastic pad, and the length of the stop hems is set so that the stop hems are configured to shield at least a part or all of a height of the elastic module.

10 . The elastic pad of claim 7 , wherein the pad layer includes a plurality of inner layers stacked in a thickness direction of the pad layer, and an outer cover removably wrapping the plurality of inner layers, wherein the plurality of inner layers comprise an inner elastic layer and an inner flexible layer.

11 . The elastic pad of claim 7 , comprising a plurality of elastic module units, each elastic module units comprises a fixed bottom plate and the plurality of elastic modules arranged on the fixed bottom plate, the fixed bottom plate comprises splicing sides arranged opposite to each other, and end sides arranged opposite to each other, and each of the end sides being disposed with a plurality of connectors, each of which comprise at least one of a rotary detent member and an engagement member, the rotary detent member is configured to swing back and forth about a pivot axis so that the rotary detent member releasably engages with an engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit, and the engagement member is configured to releasably engage a rotary detent member of an adjacent elastic module unit; wherein a plurality of the fixed bottom plates are spliced together by engagement of the rotary detent members and the engagement members adjacent to each other, such that the plurality of elastic module units are configured to be assembled into the elastic support layer.

12 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein each corner of every one of the end sides is provided with one of the plurality of connectors.

13 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein each of the end sides is provided with the rotary detent member and the engagement member.

14 . The elastic pad of claim 13 , wherein the rotary detent members are disposed on the two opposite end sides located on one diagonal line of the elastic module unit; the engagement members are disposed on the same two opposite end sides on the other diagonal line of the elastic module unit, and rotation direction of the rotary detent members is the same.

15 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein the engagement member comprises a snap-in post.

16 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein a receiving groove configured to receive the connectors is formed on a peripheral side surface at each corner of the fixed bottom plate.

17 . The elastic pad of claim 16 , wherein an upper groove wall of the receiving groove is formed with an operating opening for enabling a user to apply a force to rotate the rotary detent member.

18 . The elastic pad of claim 16 , wherein the rotary detent member comprises a detent hook and a peg, the detent hook is configured to be releasably snapped into the engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit, the rotary detent member is configured to shift between a storage position where the peg is located within the receiving groove and a part of the detent hook extends laterally from the receiving groove, and an engagement position where the detent hook is located in the receiving groove of the adjacent elastic module unit and a part of the peg extends laterally from the receiving groove of the adjacent elastic module unit.

19 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein the rotary detent member is configured to releasably hook a corresponding connection rope on the pad layer.

20 . The elastic pad of claim 19 , wherein the rotary detent member comprises a detent hook and a peg, the detent hook is configured to be releasably snapped into the engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit; the rotary detent member is configured to shift between a storage position where the detent hook releasably hooks a corresponding connection rope, and an engagement position where the peg releasably hooks the corresponding connection rope.

21 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein the rotary detent member is configured to releasably hook a corresponding connection rope on the cover.

22 . The elastic pad of claim 11 , wherein each of the splicing sides is formed with a pre-positioning structure configured to engage with a pre-positioning structure formed on a splicing side of a fixed bottom plate of an adjacent elastic module unit.

23 . The elastic pad of claim 22 , wherein the pre-positioning structure comprises a first pre-positioning structure and a second pre-positioning structure arranged at an interval in an extension direction of the splicing sides, the second pre-positioning structure different from the first pre-positioning structure, wherein the first pre-positioning structure is configured to engage with the second pre-positioning structure of an adjacent elastic module unit, and the second pre-positioning structure is configured to engage with the first pre-positioning structure of an adjacent elastic module unit.

24 . The elastic pad of claim 23 , wherein t
