.~.~ Including plural, separately inflatable, distinct gas containing compartments
DEFINITION
Classification: 5/710
Including plural, separately inflatable, distinct gas containing compartments:
(under subclass 706) Mattress having a confined gas which comprises at least two separate and distinct containers, that can be inflated independently of each other to different pressures, and lack air supply means (e.g., pumps) that can automatically alternate or change the pressures within the containers.
(1) Note. The separate and distinct compartments may be of any shape, are usually adjacent to each other, and have their own separate valves permitting independent inflation and deflation.
(2) Note. Excluded from this subclass are mattresses that have a plurality of adjacent chambers including air supply means (e.g., pumps) that can automatically change or alternate the pressures within the chambers.
(3) Note. Two adjacent gas containing mattresses that have means (e.g., valves) to separately inflate them to different pressures to form a bed that can have a firm and a less firm portion are included in this subclass.

711, for mattresses having multiple compartments, defined by upper and lower surfaces, and spaced elongated dividing strips, with the compartments being in fluid communication with each other.
713, for mattresses having variably pressurizable chambers, in which fluid supply means (e.g., pumps) can automatically change or alter the pressures within the chambers.
