Description

 The present invention relates to an electric mat in which fine nephrite type jade powder has been introduced.

 More particularly, the present invention relates to an electric carpet containing nephrite-type jade which is intended to show the excellent effect of nephrite type jade, for example to promote health by virtue of the emission of far-infrared rays. long wavelength compared to the black body.

 As is generally known, jade is largely subdivided into jadeite and jade of the nephrite type.

 Jadeite belongs to the family of pyroxenes and has a monoclinic system comprising silicic acid, aluminum oxide and soda. It is an intimate mass and its hardness is comparable to that of the crystal. It is transparent or translucent, black in color, blue green or green. People usually call jadeite "jade".

 Nephrite type jade is an inorganic material having a monoclinic system of inosilicates.

The quality of the nephrite type jade is determined by the fine structure and the finer the fiber is, the better the quality (Journal of Mining Promotion, 1993, new edition of the year, the Korean Mining
Promotion Corporation).

According to the German medical literature [Mauda
Palmer Die Verborgene, "KRAFT der KRISTALLE und der EDELSTEINE"] the two different ores, jadeite and jade of the nephrite type, both include silicon and oxygen, like most other gems. However, jadeite is formed of granular crystals whereas nephrite-type jade consists of numerous crystals and aggregates of microparticles having a fibrous structure resembling hair. In particular, nephrite type jade comprises three elements, Ca, Fe and Mg, which are good for the human body while jadeite comprises sodium and aluminum components. Thus, it has recently been reported that nephrite-type jade, when attached to the body, has a considerable effect on the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, circulatory system disorders, heart disease and neurological disorders. kidneys.

 Various products have been suggested in the field of carpet or upholstered mattress which are used as household articles, but most of them are intended to improve a feeling of comfort by the use of a cotton mat or the like .

 Recently, mattresses or padded mattresses to promote the health condition have been partially put into practical use. Representative examples include those which advantageously utilize the mineral components and infrared emission of elvan, yellow earth or ceramic material.

 In general, any rug or mattress padded to promote health must basically have the effect of far infrared emission, but the effect can not reach the level expected until now.

 The present inventors have paid attention to the excellent far infrared emission effect of nephrite type jade and have intensively studied the development of an electric mat using nephrite type jade and have found that nephrite jade has a far greater effect of far infrared emission than elvan, yellow earth or ceramics.

 In addition, it is known that nephrite-type jade exhibits the effects of promoting blood circulation, promoting sweating, relieving pain, suppressing insomnia, and restoring sleep when worn on the body.

 The effects of the nephrite type jade used in the present invention, which have been disclosed by the present inventors (Korean Patent Publication No. 97-11094 entitled "Synthetic Resin Containing Nephrite Jade Powder and Process for Manufacturing the Same"; No. 97-11095 entitled "Synthetic resin fine particles for bedding containing nephrite jade powder", Korean Patent No. 112822 entitled "Glass products containing nephrite jade powder and process for manufacturing the same", Korean Patent No. 117906 entitled "A method of adding nephrite jade powder during the molding process of ceramic wares "Korean Patent No. 118114 entitled" A method of adding nephrite jade powder for the process of producing soft drinks and the products made thereby "] includes the excellent processing effects of pathological symptoms (headache, numbness, indigestion, insomnia, or the like), elimination impurities (such as heavy metals), improving water quality, promoting the growth of plants and animals, so it can be widely applied to human life.

 The characteristic of the nephrite-type jade according to the present invention is to emit a far-infrared ray having a wavelength of 9.1 microns in comparison with the black body, whereas the organic substances constituting the human body generally absorb heat. and have a property of absorbing heat with respect to a certain wavelength.

Any organic substance has its inherent frequency of vibrations and if the frequency is in accordance with the frequency of the far infrared rays, there is a magnetic exothermic phenomenon from the inside because of the resonance of the molecules. Thus, when it is necessary to use a far infrared ray for heating, it is very effective that the far infrared ray having a wavelength that can be easily absorbed by the material is emitted. Based on these findings, the present inventors accomplished the invention.

 The object of the present invention is to provide an electric mat containing nephrite-type fine jade powder so as to further improve the health promoting effect.

 Another object of the present invention is to provide a padded mattress having a construction that can completely prevent the electric wave and vibration of the water vein, which fundamentally suppresses the harmfulness of the electric wave and the mattress promotes health. , even if the heating means by electric heating is applied to the mattress.

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the electric mat according to the present invention has a watertight pocket divided into a plurality of plies, each space of which contains a body emitting far infrared rays, comprising jade powder of the nephrite type of mesh 150 - 300 covered with a nonwoven fabric, under which a copper woven fabric and an aluminum foil are placed, and the nonwoven fabric is inserted below the aluminum foil to contact the heater under which jade cotton is inserted to form the multi-layer structure.

The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating an embodiment. of the invention and in which
- Figure 1 is a partial cross sectional view showing the constitution of the main parts of the electric mat according to the present invention; and
- Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the general appearance of the electric mat according to the present invention.

 As a material for the waterproof pouch, a urethane sheet having a heat resistance up to 2300C is suitably used.

 The copper weave was obtained by weaving linen weave using copper lines for latitudes or longitudes and a conventional fibrous wire for longitudes or latitudes.

 Jade cotton was prepared by adding an aqueous solution of nephrite type jade powder during cotton carding and drying. The purpose of using jade cotton is thermal insulation to prevent heat leakage and keep warm and increase far infrared emission due to the far infrared emission by nephrite jade powder . The thickness of the jade cotton is preferably 1.5 cm.

 According to the present invention, the heat produced by the heater is transmitted through the aluminum foil and the copper weave to the nephrite jade powder to cause the emission of the far infrared ray, thereby effectively revealing the effect of nephrite type jade.

 During the process, an electron wave produced by the heater is absorbed by the aluminum foil and the copper weave, so no effect of the electronic wave reaches the user on the carpet.

In addition, the aluminum foil and the copper weave naturally intercept the vibrations of the water vein.

 In particular, the far-infrared ray absorbed into the body promotes metabolism, blood circulation and enzyme production and activates aged cells to promote the discharge of residual materials and surplus lipids and inhibits the production of free fatty acids , fatty acid esters, cholesterol, salt or uric acid surplus that can cause fatigue or aging, thus bringing health and youth body.

 The constitution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

 Figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the constitution of the main parts of the electric mat according to the present invention. In the upper layer, the watertight pouches 2 which are made of a urethane sheet and divided into multiple layers internally by junction lines 1 are arranged. The waterproof bags 2 are made of a thermally resistant urethane sheet that withstands a temperature up to 2300C. Inside the pocket, the first nonwoven fabric 3, of a suitable size, and the nephrite type jade powder 4 are received so the nephrite type jade powder 4 can not be gathered on one side nonwoven fabric and is regularly arranged.

 Under the waterproof bags 2, a copper weave 5 is placed, under which is inserted an aluminum foil 6.

 The copper weave was made by weave fabric weave using copper lines having a diameter of 0.2 -0.4 mm for the weft yarns or warp yarns and a conventional fibrous yarn for the warp yarns. weft threads. This is intended to allow outward flow of the electronic wave by connection to the earth by the electrical means.

 Under the aluminum foil 6, the second nonwoven fabric 7 and the heater 8 are placed. Under the heater 8 is provided the jade 9 cotton.

 The second nonwoven fabric 7 has a cushion between the heating line or heating pipe of the heater 8 and an aluminum foil 6 on top to isolate the two parts so that there is no electrical short circuit because of contact of both parties.

 The jade cotton 9 below the heater 8 is prepared by a unique process to which the present inventors have contributed (Korean Patent Application No. 965866). When conventional cotton is woven, an aqueous jade solution of the nephrite type is added and then dried to evenly distribute the nephrite type jade powder within the cotton in a certain amount.

 The general appearance of the electric mat according to the present invention which has the construction described above is shown in FIG.

 In Figure 2, the jade cotton 9 which is placed at the lowest part, is lined with the cover sheet 10, so only the water-tight pockets 2 are exposed outwardly on the upper surface. The heater 8 inside the carpet is controlled by the user by means of a controller 12 which is electrically connected by a connector 11.

Of course, the copper weave 5 is also connected by connection to the ground by the connector 11.

 According to the present invention, the heat produced by the heater 8 is transmitted to the nephrite type jade powder 4 via the aluminum foil 6 and the copper weave 5 so that the powder emits far infrared rays. While far infrared rays are emitted by nephrite-type jade powder as the medium, the effect is more excellent than that of another type of substance emitting far-infrared rays.

 The far infrared experimental study of the nephrite type jade powder used in the present invention has been accomplished.

 The electronic wave generated by the heater 8 is absorbed by the aluminum foil 6 and the copper weave 5 and flows off by the ground connection, thus not affecting the user on the carpet. the invention. In addition, the aluminum foil 6 and the copper weave 5 also serve to protect vibrations of the water vein. According to the present invention, a heat leakage through the bottom portion of the heater 8 is prevented by the jade cotton 9. The jade cotton prevents heat loss by the heater 8 and increases the thermal efficiency.

Furthermore, the heat of the heater 8 heats the nephrite jade powder to generate a far infrared ray that doubles the far infrared ray emitted by the watertight pockets 2 of the upper part.

 Since the jade cotton 9 forms the padding of the carpet at the base, an appropriate thickness is required, preferably 1.5 cm or more.

 The results of a clinical trial using the pad (electric mat) prepared according to the present invention showed 88% remedying value, i.e. it is similar to the results using the nonwoven fabric containing the nephrite type jade powder as a medical mattress [Korean Patent Application No. 96-5866].
