Abstract

A lying system including at least one leveling chamber that can be filled with air. The lying system contains a lying side, which forms a lying surface, and a support side. The at least one leveling chamber that can be filled with air is part of a leveling device or forms part of a leveling device and can be filled with air in such a way that the lying system has locally different heights outside of the usage position. Thus, the support side can be at least partially adapted to the inclination and/or the unevenness of the ground, such that the lying surface is more even and/or less inclined than the ground in the usage position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A lying system for use on an uneven ground, with a lying side and with a supporting side that lies opposite the lying side, wherein
 the lying system comprises a levelling device with at least one levelling chamber, which is fillable with air, wherein the at least one levelling chamber is fillable with air in a manner such that the lying system outside the position of use can have locally adjustably different heights towards the supporting side, and the supporting side by way of this can be adapted at least partly to the inclination and/or the unevennesses of the ground, so that the lying side in the position of use is more level and/or less inclined, compared to the ground, and in particular is horizontally aligned.   
     
     
         2 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the levelling device comprises a plurality of closed levelling chambers which, in particular via individual air inlets, can be filled with air independently of one another. 
     
     
         3 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the levelling device comprises a plurality of open levelling chambers that are fillable with air via a common air inlet. 
     
     
         4 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the levelling device comprises a plurality of levelling chambers that are fillable with air and that, at least in the partly filled condition, form prominences on the supporting side. 
     
     
         5 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein delimiting means are assigned to at least one levelling chamber, by way of which delimiting means, when filling the at least one levelling chamber with air, the height of the lying system in the region of the levelling chamber can be limited at least locally to an amount that is smaller than the maximal possible height due to filling the respective levelling chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The lying system according to  claim 5 , wherein the delimiting means comprise at least one fixation element, by way of which the delimitation can be fixed. 
     
     
         7 . The lying system according to  claim 5 , wherein the delimiting means comprise at least one flexible distance element, in particular a flexible elongate body, and at least one fixation element, wherein a distance-effective length of the distance element can be set by way of the at least one fixation element. 
     
     
         8 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one levelling chamber along a levelling axis comprises one or more cross-sectional narrowings, which are spaced from one another, and in particular a bellows structure. 
     
     
         9 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the lying system comprises a main body formed as a lying mat, which forms a lying surface and has at least one support chamber that is fillable with air, and the levelling device comprises at a plurality of closed levelling chambers that are arranged towards the supporting side, on the main body. 
     
     
         10 . The lying system according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one support chamber of the main body, which is fillable with air, at the same time is a levelling chamber of the levelling device. 
     
     
         11 . The lying system according to  claim 9 , wherein the levelling device together with the main body forms an integral unit or can be assembled on the main body of the lying system. 
     
     
         12 . The lying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the lying system forms the base of an integrated bivouac accommodation or the underlay of an integrated sleeping bag, of an integrated sleeping envelope or of an integrated ticking. 
     
     
         13 . The lying system according to  claim 4 , wherein the prominences are designed as bumps, columns, beads, pads, rings or cones. 
     
     
         14 . A levelling device for a lying system according to  claim 1 , with a lying side and with a supporting side for the adaptation of the supporting side to the inclination and/or unevennesses of the ground, so that the lying side in the position of use is more level and/or less inclined, compared to the ground, and in particular is aligned horizontally, wherein the levelling device comprises at least one spacing body with at least one levelling chamber which is fillable with air, and the levelling device can be combined, in particular assembled, with a main body, into a lying system. 
     
     
         15 . The levelling device according to  claim 14 , wherein the levelling device forms a receiving pocket or flexible elongate bodies, which to the lying side form receiving loops, for receiving a main body of the lying system, in particular of a lying mat, of a sleeping bag, of a sleeping envelope or of a ticking. 
     
     
         16 . The levelling device according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one spacing body comprises several levelling chambers which are subsequent to one another along the levelling axis, are independent of one another and are individually fillable with air via air inlets. 
     
     
         17 . The levelling device according to  claim 14 , wherein the delimiting means for delimiting the filling volume of the at least one levelling chamber are assigned to the at least one spacing body. 
     
     
         18 . The levelling device according to  claim 17 , wherein the delimiting means comprise at least one fixation element, by way of which the delimitation can be fixed. 
     
     
         19 . The levelling device according to  claim 17 , wherein the delimiting means comprise at least one flexible distance element, in particular a flexible elongate body, and comprise at least one fixation element, wherein a distance-effective length of the distance element can be set by way of the at least one fixation element and thus the extension of the spacing body along the levelling axis can be limited. 
     
     
         20 . The levelling device according to  claim 1 , wherein the spacing body and in particular the at least one levelling chamber along a levelling axis comprises one or more cross-sectional narrowings which are spaced from one another, and in particular a bellows structure. 
     
     
         21 . The levelling device according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one spacing body in the air filled condition is designed in a cone-shaped manner or forms a cone-shaped levelling chamber with a cone axis that runs transversely to the levelling axis. 
     
     
         22 . The levelling device according to  claim 21 , wherein the levelling device comprises a first group of cone-shaped levelling chambers that are arranged next to one another and are equally aligned, and a second group of cone-shaped levelling chambers that are arranged next to one another and are equally aligned, and the first and the second group of levelling chambers are directed counter to one another and meshingly engage into one another.
