Detailed Description

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing bedding 1 according to the present embodiment, and fig. 2 is a bottom view of bedding 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the bedding 1 according to the present embodiment includes a bedding main body 2. The bedding body 2 of the present embodiment includes at least 1 columnar bedding element 3. Since the bedding element 3 has a columnar shape, the bedding body 2 can be reduced in overall weight, and can be used for various purposes such as bedding such as a mattress and a quilt, a pillow, and a throw pillow.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along line a-a of fig. 2. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the bedding element 3 according to the present embodiment includes: an air circulation layer 7 in which a flow path for air to flow is formed along the longitudinal direction of the bedding element 3; a buffer layer 8 covering the periphery of the air circulation layer 7; and a surface cover 10 covering the periphery of the cushioning layer 8. Since the bedding body 2 has the cushion layer 8 between the air circulation layer 7 and the cover 10, flexibility can be improved. Here, softness is softness, and is an index for evaluating hardness when a surface is pressed.

The surface cover 10 is preferably provided with a ventilation portion 6 formed at least at 1 end in the longitudinal direction for passing air therethrough. Since such a bedding element 3 includes the air ventilation layer 7 and the ventilation sections 6, accumulation of heat or moisture in the bedding element 3 can be suppressed, and excellent comfort can be provided. Therefore, the bedding 1 of the present embodiment is light in weight and excellent in flexibility and comfort.

In a more preferred embodiment, the bedding element 3 includes a mesh layer 9 covering the cushioning layer 8. The surface cover 10 of the present embodiment covers the mesh layer 9. Such a mesh layer 9 can protect the cushioning layer 8 having excellent flexibility and improve durability.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the bedding element 3 includes at least 1, in the present embodiment 1, first element 4; and at least 1, in this embodiment 2, second elements 5. The bedding main body 2 of the present embodiment is formed in a n-shape as a whole. Since the first element 4 and the second element 5 are each columnar, the bedding element 3 can be used for various purposes such as a mattress, a quilt such as a quilt, a pillow, and a throw pillow. In the present specification, the longitudinal direction of the first element 4 is sometimes referred to as the left-right direction, and the longitudinal direction of the second element 5 is sometimes referred to as the front-rear direction.

The end portions of the bedding element 3 include, for example, one end 4a and the other end 4b of the first element 4, and the base end 5a and the leading end 5b of the second element 5. The base end 5a in the longitudinal direction of the second element 5 of the present embodiment is connected between the one end 4a and the other end 4b of the first element 4. Since the bedding body 2 is formed by connecting 1 first element 4 and 2 second elements 5, it is suitable for use as a bedding or a mattress.

The bedding element 3 of the present embodiment is formed in a linear shape as a whole. The bedding element 3 may be bent in its overall shape by applying an external force, for example. The bedding element 3 may be configured to maintain the overall shape when the external force is applied even when the external force is released, or may be configured to return to the overall shape before the external force is applied when the external force is released. Such a bedding element 3 can improve the variety of the overall shape.

The first element 4 of the present embodiment includes: a first ventilation portion 6A formed at one end 4a and the other end 4b in the longitudinal direction of the first element 4, for passing air therethrough; and a first air circulation layer 7A having a flow path formed therein for allowing air to flow between the one end 4a and the other end 4 b.

That is, the ventilation portion 6 of the present embodiment includes 2 first ventilation portions 6A. The air circulation layer 7 of the present embodiment includes 1 first air circulation layer 7A. Since the first element 4 has a flow path for air to flow between the one end 4a and the other end 4b where the first ventilation portion 6A is formed, it is possible to suppress accumulation of heat and moisture, and provide excellent comfort.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first air circulation layer 7A is preferably formed of a fibrous three-dimensional structure or a three-dimensional mesh structure. Examples of the fibrous three-dimensional structure include a three-dimensional woven fabric and a three-dimensional woven fabric. Examples of the three-dimensional woven fabric include a three-dimensional lattice structure and a double raschel structure. Examples of the three-dimensional fabric include a three-dimensional multilayer fabric. The three-dimensional net-like structure is, for example, a structure formed of resin wires irregularly entangled in a three-dimensional shape. Such a first air flow layer 7A can maintain appropriate rigidity while ensuring a flow path of air.

The first air circulation layer 7A of the present embodiment is formed in a solid columnar shape. The first air circulation layer 7A is not limited to this form, and may be, for example, a hollow cylindrical shape, a polygonal columnar shape, or the like. When the first air circulation layer 7A is hollow, the air flow resistance can be further reduced. The first air circulation layer 7A is preferably substantially similar in shape to the first element 4.

The first air circulation layer 7A is formed by, for example, extrusion molding of resin strands constituting a three-dimensional network structure. When cooling the resin strand extruded in a state of being irregularly entangled into a three-dimensional shape, the first air circulation layer 7A is preferably molded into a columnar shape as a whole. When the first air circulation layer 7A has a cylindrical shape, for example, the extruded resin strand is cooled and solidified into a cylindrical shape. Such a first air circulation layer 7A does not require additional processing, and can improve productivity.

The first element 4 preferably includes a first cushion layer 8A, a first mesh layer 9A, and a first cover 10A disposed around the first air circulation layer 7A. That is, the buffer layer 8 of the present embodiment includes the first buffer layer 8A provided on the first element 4. The mesh layer 9 of the present embodiment includes a first mesh layer 9A covering the first cushion layer 8A. The surface cover 10 of the present embodiment includes a first cover portion 10A that covers the outer surface of the first element 4.

The first cushion layer 8A is formed of, for example, synthetic cotton or natural cotton. Examples of the synthetic cotton include polyester resin cotton. Examples of natural cotton include kapok. Such first buffer layer 8A is excellent in flexibility and air permeability. The first buffer layer 8A is not limited to this form, and may be, for example, foamed polyurethane, beads (beads), or the like as long as it has flexibility and air permeability.

The outer shape of the first buffer layer 8A is substantially the same as the outer shape of the first element 4, for example. The outer shape of the first buffer layer 8A is preferably substantially similar to the outer shape of the first air circulation layer 7A. The first cushion layer 8A of the present embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape. The first cushion layer 8A preferably has higher flexibility than that of the first air circulation layer 7A. Such a first buffer layer 8A can exhibit excellent flexibility.

The first mesh layer 9A is made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyester or nylon. Such a first mesh layer 9A protects the first cushion layer 8A having excellent flexibility to improve durability, and does not affect the air permeability of the first cushion layer 8A.

The first mesh layer 9A of the present embodiment covers the first cushion layer 8A and the one end 4a and the other end 4b of the first air circulation layer 7A. Even when the face cover 10 is removed, the first mesh layer 9A can integrate the first cushion layer 8A and the first air circulation layer 7A.

The first cover portion 10A preferably has good air permeability. The first cover portion 10A is formed of regenerated fibers such as cellulose and rayon. The first cover portion 10A is not limited to regenerated fibers as long as it has good air permeability and good skin feel, and may be formed of, for example, synthetic resin fibers, natural fibers, or a blend of a plurality of fibers. The first cover portion 10A is excellent in air permeability and skin touch, and can improve comfort.

The first cover portion 10A of the present embodiment is provided with a first ventilation portion 6A at one end 4a and the other end 4 b. The first ventilation portion 6A is formed of, for example, a mesh fabric. The mesh fabric of the first ventilation portion 6A may be the same fabric as the first mesh layer 9A, or may be a different fabric. The first ventilation portion 6A may be formed of the same fabric as the first cover portion 10A, for example. The first ventilation portion 6A is preferably fixed to the first cover portion 10A by sewing. Such a small ventilation resistance of the first ventilation portion 6A can improve the fluidity of the air in the first air circulation layer 7A.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the first cover portion 10A is configured to be detachable by a first opening forming mechanism 11A such as a zipper. The first opening forming means 11A may be a surface fastener, for example. Such first cover portion 10A can be detached and washed, and comfort can be further improved.

When the first opening forming means 11A is a slide fastener, the first cover section 10A preferably includes a protective tape piece (not shown) covering the first opening forming means 11A. With such a first cover section 10A, the user is unlikely to touch the first opening forming mechanism 11A during use of the bedding 1, and comfort can be improved.

As shown in fig. 4, the second element 5 of the present embodiment includes: a second vent 6B formed at the tip 5B and configured to allow air to pass therethrough; and a second air flow layer 7B having a flow path for air to flow between the base end 5a and the tip end 5B.

That is, the vent part 6 of the present embodiment includes 1 in each second element 5 and 2 second vent parts 6B in total. The air circulation layer 7 of the present embodiment includes 1 in each of the second elements 5 and 2 second air circulation layers 7B in total. Since the second element 5 has a flow path for air to flow between the distal end 5B and the proximal end 5a, in which the second vent 6B is formed, it is possible to suppress accumulation of heat and moisture, and provide excellent comfort.

The second air circulation layer 7B is preferably formed of a fibrous three-dimensional structure or a three-dimensional network structure, similarly to the first air circulation layer 7A. The second air circulation layer 7B is preferably formed of the same material as the first air circulation layer 7A. Such a second air flow layer 7B can maintain appropriate rigidity while ensuring an air flow path.

The second air circulation layer 7B of the present embodiment is formed in a solid columnar shape similarly to the first air circulation layer 7A. The second air circulation layer 7B is preferably substantially similar in shape to the second element 5. The second air flow layer 7B of the present embodiment has substantially the same shape as the first air flow layer 7A.

The second air circulation layer 7B is formed by, for example, extrusion molding of resin strands constituting a three-dimensional network structure, similarly to the first air circulation layer 7A. The second air circulation layer 7B is preferably formed by the same molding process as the first air circulation layer 7A. Such a second air circulation layer 7B does not require additional processing, and can improve productivity.

The second air circulation layer 7B of the present embodiment communicates with the first air circulation layer 7A at the base end 5a via the first cushion layer 8A. The second air circulation layer 7B may be in direct communication with the first air circulation layer 7A, for example. The second air circulation layer 7B in this case is preferably inserted into a hole formed in the first buffer layer 8A. Such a second air circulation layer 7B can cause air to flow between the first air circulation layer 7A and the second air circulation layer 7B, and can further improve comfort.

The second element 5 preferably includes a second cushion layer 8B, a second mesh layer 9B, and a second cover portion 10B, which are disposed around the second air circulation layer 7B, as in the case of the first element 4. That is, the buffer layer 8 of the present embodiment includes the second buffer layer 8B provided on the second element 5. The mesh layer 9 of the present embodiment includes a second mesh layer 9B covering the second cushion layer 8B. The surface cover 10 of the present embodiment includes a second cover portion 10B that covers the outer surface of the second element 5.

The second cushion layer 8B is formed of, for example, synthetic cotton or natural cotton, as in the first cushion layer 8A. The second buffer layer 8B is preferably formed of the same material as the first buffer layer 8A. Such second buffer layer 8B is excellent in flexibility and air permeability.

The outer shape of the second buffer layer 8B is substantially the same as the outer shape of the second element 5, for example. The outer shape of the second buffer layer 8B is preferably substantially similar to the outer shape of the second air circulation layer 7B. The second cushion layer 8B of the present embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape similarly to the first cushion layer 8A. The second buffer layer 8B preferably has flexibility as compared with the second air circulation layer 7B. Such a second buffer layer 8B can exhibit excellent flexibility.

The second buffer layer 8B is preferably in contact with the first buffer layer 8A at the base end 5 a. In such a bedding body 2, since the first cushion layer 8A and the second cushion layer 8B are disposed without a gap at the base end 5a that the head of the user easily contacts when in use, the comfort can be further improved.

The second mesh layer 9B is formed of, for example, synthetic resin such as polyester or nylon, as in the first mesh layer 9A. The second mesh layer 9B is preferably formed of the same material as the first mesh layer 9A. Such a second mesh layer 9B protects the second cushion layer 8B having excellent flexibility to improve durability, and does not affect the air permeability of the second cushion layer 8B.

The second mesh layer 9B of the present embodiment covers the second cushion layer 8B and the front end 5B of the second air circulation layer 7B. Even when the second cover portion 10B is removed, the second mesh layer 9B can integrate the second cushion layer 8B and the second air circulation layer 7B.

The second mesh layer 9B of the present embodiment is formed integrally with the first mesh layer 9A. The second mesh layer 9B is sewn to the first mesh layer 9A, for example, to form 1 mesh layer 9. Even when the face cover 10 is removed, the mesh layer 9 can be handled as 1 unit by integrally collecting the first cushion layer 8A, the second cushion layer 8B, the first air circulation layer 7A, and the second air circulation layer 7B.

The second cover portion 10B preferably has air permeability, as in the first cover portion 10A. The second cover portion 10B is formed of regenerated fibers, for example. The second cover 10B is preferably formed of the same material as the first cover 10A. The second cover portion 10B is excellent in air permeability and texture, and can improve comfort.

The second cover portion 10B of the present embodiment has a second vent portion 6B formed at the distal end 5B. The second ventilation portion 6B of the present embodiment is provided with a blower 17. Such a second element 5 can dynamically flow air to the second air circulation layer 7B, and comfort can be further improved.

The blower 17 of the present embodiment includes: a fan 17a rotated by an electric motor (not shown); a main body case 17b that houses these fans; and a fixing ring 17c for fixing the blower 17 to the second cover portion 10B. The main body case 17b is formed integrally with, for example, a substantially cylindrical portion and a flange-like portion protruding outward in the circumferential direction from the cylindrical portion. The fixing ring 17c is preferably screwed to the cylindrical portion of the main body case 17B so as to sandwich the mounting washer 10a provided on the second cover portion 10B between the fixing ring and the flange-like portion of the main body case 17B. The blower 17 is attachable to and detachable from the second cover portion 10B.

The blower 17 of the present embodiment sends air to the second air circulation layer 7B so that the air flows from the front end 5B toward the base end 5a of the second element 5. The blower 17 can flow air from the second air circulation layer 7B to the first air circulation layer 7A.

The ventilation resistance of the end portion side of the face mask 10 where the blower 17 is provided is preferably larger than the ventilation resistance of the end portion side where the blower 17 is not provided in the longitudinal direction. In the second cover portion 10B of the present embodiment, the air flow resistance on the distal end 5B side of the second element 5 is larger than the air flow resistance on the base end 5a side. The second cover portion 10B may be formed of, for example, 2 materials having different air flow resistances, or may be formed such that the air flow resistance increases in multiple stages or steplessly from the base end 5a toward the tip end 5B. Such a second cover portion 10B enables the air fed from the distal end 5B side to efficiently flow toward the first element 4. Further, the second cover portion 10B discharges more air from the base end 5a side of the upper half of the user where heat or moisture is likely to accumulate, and thus the comfort can be further improved.

The total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A of the one end 4a and the other end 4b of the first element 4 is preferably 2% to 20% of the total amount of air fed by the blower 17. Here, the total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A is the sum of the amounts of air discharged from the first ventilation portions 6A at the one end 4a and the other end 4 b. In addition, when the number of the blowers 17 is 2, the total amount of the air sent by the blowers 17 is the total amount of the air sent by the 2 blowers 17.

By setting the total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A to 2% or more of the total amount of air fed by the blower 17, air can be made to flow over the entire area of the first air circulation layer 7A, and air can be discharged from the entire first cover portion 10A, so that comfort can be improved. From such a viewpoint, the total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A is more preferably 3% or more, and still more preferably 5% or more, with respect to the total amount of air fed by the blower 17.

When the total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A is 20% or less of the total amount of air fed by the blower 17, the amount of air discharged from the first cover portion 10A and the second cover portion 10B can be sufficiently ensured, and comfort can be improved. From such a viewpoint, the total amount of air discharged from the first ventilation portion 6A is more preferably 15% or less, and still more preferably 10% or less, with respect to the total amount of air fed by the blower 17.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the second cover portion 10B is configured to be detachable by a second opening forming mechanism 11B such as a zipper, for example, as in the first cover portion 10A. The second opening forming means 11B may be a surface fastener, for example. The second cover portion 10B can be smoothly removed by being shifted from the base end 5a to the tip end 5B in a state where the second opening forming mechanism 11B is opened, for example.

Similarly to the first cover section 10A, the second cover section 10B preferably includes a protective tape piece (not shown) that covers the second opening forming mechanism 11B when the second opening forming mechanism 11B is a slide fastener. With such a second cover section 10B, the user is unlikely to touch the second opening forming mechanism 11B during use of the bedding 1, and comfort can be improved.

The blower 17 attached to the second cover portion 10B can be easily detached by detaching the second cover portion 10B. Such second cover portion 10B is easy to detach during washing. The mounting washer 10a provided in the second cover portion 10B is preferably made of a selectable material, for example, resin.

The first cover portion 10A and the second cover portion 10B of the present embodiment are integrally formed. The second cover portion 10B is sewn to the first cover portion 10A, for example, to form 1 of the face masks 10. The front cover 10 first opens the first opening forming means 11A and removes the first cover portion 10A from the first element 4. Then, the front cover 10 can be collectively removed by opening the second opening forming means 11B and shifting the first cover portion 10A and the second cover portion 10B from the base end 5a toward the tip end 5B of the second element 5.

As shown in fig. 2, the bedding body 2 according to the present embodiment includes a connecting member 18 that connects 2 second elements 5. The connecting member 18 includes, for example, a band-shaped first member 18a and 2 annular second members 18 b. The first member 18a and the second member 18b may be stretchable or non-stretchable. The connection member 18 can prevent the tip 5b of the second element 5 from being separated by a predetermined distance or more by inserting the second element 5 into the second member 18 b.

Fig. 5 is a wiring diagram of bedding 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, bedding 1 according to the present embodiment is connected to an external power supply 20 via a wiring 19 in order to drive blower 17. The blower 17 can arbitrarily select the external power supply 20, and can select an appropriate external power supply 20 according to the application.

The wiring 19 includes, for example, a first cord (cord)19a extending between the surface cover 10 and the mesh layer 9 along the second element 5 and the first element 4, and a second cord 19B extending outside the second cover portion 10B along the second element 5. The second cord 19b is inserted through at least 1 loop portion 5c (4 loop portions 5c in the present embodiment) of the second element 5, and is disposed along the second element 5.

The first cords 19a of the present embodiment are provided in 2 second elements 5, respectively. The first cord 19a is preferably connected to the blower 17 via a connector (not shown). When the second cover portion 10B is detached, the first cord 19a can be disconnected from the blower 17 in advance.

The second cord 19b of the present embodiment includes an operation portion 19c that operates the output of the blower 17 and a power supply connector 19d connected to the external power supply 20. The second cord 19b may be removed from the first opening forming mechanism 11A of the first cover portion 10A to the outside of the first cover portion 10A, or may be removed from a dedicated removal hole (not shown). Such a second cord 19b facilitates the output operation of the blower 17 and the connection of the external power supply 20.

The external power supply 20 may be a battery such as a dry battery or a rechargeable battery, or may be an AC adapter. When the external power source 20 is a battery, it is preferably housed in a housing portion 5d provided on the front end 5b side of the second member 5. Such an external power supply 20 is less likely to come into contact with the user when the bedding 1 is used, and can improve comfort.

The first element 4, the first ventilation portion 6A, the first air circulation layer 7A, the first cushion layer 8A, the first mesh layer 9A, and the first cover portion 10A can be referred to as a lateral element, a lateral ventilation portion, a lateral air circulation layer, a lateral cushion layer, a lateral mesh layer, and a lateral cover portion, respectively.

The second element 5, the second ventilation portion 6B, the second air circulation layer 7B, the second cushion layer 8B, the second mesh layer 9B, and the second cover portion 10B may be referred to as a longitudinal element, a longitudinal ventilation portion, a longitudinal air circulation layer, a longitudinal cushion layer, a longitudinal mesh layer, and a longitudinal cover portion, respectively.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing bedding 21 according to the second embodiment. Elements having the same functions as those of the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. As shown in fig. 6, the bedding 21 according to the second embodiment includes a bedding body 22. The bedding body 22 of the second embodiment includes 1 first element 23 and 1 second element 24 in a columnar shape. The bedding body 22 is preferably formed in a T shape as a whole. Since each of the first element 23 and the second element 24 has a columnar shape, it can be suitably used as a pillow or a throw pillow.

The first element 23 of the second embodiment includes the ventilation portion 6 formed at one end 23a and the other end 23b in the longitudinal direction thereof for passing air, similarly to the first element 4 described above. Since the first element 23 can flow air between the one end 23a and the other end 23b where the ventilation portion 6 is formed, accumulation of heat and moisture can be suppressed, and excellent comfort can be provided.

Similarly to the second element 5, the second element 24 of the second embodiment has a base end 24a in the longitudinal direction connected to the first element 23 and a blower 17 provided at a tip end 24 b.
