Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bedding for use as a mattress or a mattress. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel bedding structure having a high degree of freedom, which can be freely folded, can be adjusted in size, and can also be used as a sofa by assembling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, beddings with a folding function have been widely and generally provided in order to improve convenience of handling such as storage and carrying of the bedding. Normally, the core of the bedclothes is divided into three parts, and the dividing part is provided with a constriction with a futon material surrounding the core and a folding function is provided. In general, one covered with a side cloth that has a cut in the back surface alternately is used. In the known art,
For example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-30808 discloses that an elastic foam is disposed between a laminate having a plurality of juxtaposed cores, and the elastic foam is constricted by suturing the front and back sides of the elastic foam. A mattress type mattress in which folding is provided by forming a portion is disclosed.

[0003] Also, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-299196 discloses that
A mattress consisting of a three-part core, a side cloth surrounding it, and a belt, divided into three parts: the upper part where the pillow is placed, the middle part where the upper body abuts, and the lower part where the legs abut. And the back side of the mattress is covered with a side cloth which is alternately cut into the back side, and a belt is disposed on the entire back side surface of the mattress.

[0004]

However, these conventional beddings have several disadvantages. For example, the structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 7-30808 is easy to fold by forming a constricted portion. However, in order to ensure easiness of folding, a portion where the elastic foam is disposed is constricted. It is necessary to form a concave portion from the surface of the mattress by the constricted portion. Therefore, the part that comes into contact with the body at bedtime is divided into a part with a smooth surface of the laminate and an elastic foam part that forms a concavity between the laminate and the laminate. May give an uncomfortable feeling. Further, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
The thing described in Japanese Patent No. 299196 is that in the mattress division part, the front and back sides are alternately cut into the core divided body, so that the folding direction of each core divided body is on the cut side. It is limited to one direction accordingly. Further, since the belt is arranged on the back surface of the mattress, there is an inconvenience that the use surface at bedtime is limited to only the front surface. In addition, conventional beddings that use a core material in general, unlike mattresses that use futon cotton as the middle material, have a high degree of rigidity in the width direction, so they are difficult to grasp, easy to carry, etc. There was difficulty in sex. In addition, the standard size of the bedclothes is generally determined, and particularly, a tall person or the like has difficulty in matching the dimensions.

[0005] In view of these problems of the prior art, the present inventor has set a gap between the core divisions that gives a sense of incongruity to the body, even if the bed is composed of a plurality of independent core divisions. An object of the present invention is to provide a bedclothes which can be folded freely on both sides without forming any recesses and recesses and between each of the core divisions, and which is excellent in handling properties such as storage and carrying properties. In addition, taking advantage of the advantage that each core split body is independent, it is easy to change the dimensions according to the height of the user for children and adults with one bedclothes, and it is also an advantage that it can be folded freely By using each of the core splits in a three-dimensional manner by taking advantage of the above, it is intended to provide a new bedding with a high degree of freedom, which can be used not only as the original bedding but also as a sofa etc. It is.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there are provided a plurality of independent core split members each including a core material and a futon surrounding the core material, and a connecting member for connecting the plurality of core split members to each other. In the bedding comprising, the plurality of core splits are juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction of the bedding, and adjacent juxtaposed core splits are joined at one end to the upper surface of one of the core splits. The other end is connected to a lower surface of the other core split body adjacent to the one core split body, and the other end is bonded to the lower surface of the one core split body and the other end is connected to the lower surface of the other core split body. By a connecting body composed of at least one pair of connecting band groups including a connecting band B joined to an upper surface of the core split body adjacent to one of the core split bodies, the connecting bands A and The connecting band B is joined to the core split body by a joining tool having a simple detaching ability, and a side edge of the bedding is provided. A plurality of string passing portions are provided on the futon material surface of each core split body in the above, a continuous string-like material is inserted through the string passing portion, and the string-like material is engaged with a side peripheral portion of the bedding, In addition, the above problem is solved by a foldable bedding which is provided by attaching a connecting tool for connecting the string-like objects to an arbitrary portion of the string-like material engaged with the side peripheral portion of the bed bedding.
