JP2000325207A - Coverlet used over kotatsu - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make skirt parts developable when needed and to enable a user to easily and comfortably sleep with a kotatsu (a low, covered table with a heat source underneath) by utilizing a coverlet over the kotatsu by providing the edges of the skirt parts hung to the side parts of a kotatsu body with folding parts of a trapezoidal shape and providing these folding parts with stopping parts for folding and stopping the folding parts from the edges to a top plate side. SOLUTION: The folding parts 4 of the coverlet 1 used over the kotatsu are formed to the trapezoidal shape and are made foldable to the skirt parts 3 from the base portions and are normally held stopped to the skirt parts 3 by means of plural hooks 5 and 6. When sleeping with the kotatsu, the user removes the respective hooks 5 and 6 of the skirt parts 3 at his or her own seating point, separates the folding parts 4 from the skirt parts 3, develops the folding parts 4 and utilizes the coverlet as his or her own quilt. The folding parts 4 exist on all of the four sides in the case of the kotatsu body of a square shape and, therefore, the respective folding parts 4 of the four sides may be respectively freely utilized. If, on the other hand, the folding parts 4 are folded from the base portion and the respective hooks 5 and 6 are stoped, the coverlet may be again reduced to the size of the ordinary coverlet over the kotatsu and is usable without hindrance.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kotatsu futon which can be used as a comforter by extending a skirt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional kotatsu futon has a quadrilateral shape in which a central portion is placed between a kotatsu main body and a top plate, and four hem portions are hung on side portions of the kotatsu main body.

[0003] However, when the person is in a posture of lying down on his / her back or lowering the back of a sitting chair from a state of being in a kotatsu (sitting state), the bed is only up to the waist position in the conventional size of the bed. If you do n’t come and go to bed,
I was putting on futons.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-72810 discloses a kotatsu futon having a configuration in which a trapezoidal separate futon is attached to a conventional kotatsu futon so that a portion below a shoulder can be warmed.

[0005]

However, the kotatsu futon disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-72810 has a structure in which another futon is attached to a conventional kotatsu futon.
If the person who finished the futon and the person who wants to use it are different people, when you want to use the other futon, you do not know where to put the futon and you must ask the person who finished the futon for the location ,
There was a problem that it took time and effort to search around when the abandoned person was absent. There was also an inconvenience that it could not be used when the location was unknown.

[0006] In addition, since another futon of the kotatsu futon described in the above-mentioned publication is attached at only one place, two or more people will rest by tilting the back of a chair or the like, or hang the futon to their shoulders. There was a disadvantage that only one person could use it.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is as follows:
The aim is to provide a kotatsu futon that can be used by multiple people without having to look for it when you want to use it.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, a kotatsu futon of the present invention has a central portion placed between a kotatsu main body and a top plate, and four hem portions are provided on side portions of the kotatsu main body. In the hanging kotatsu futon, a trapezoidal folded portion is integrally provided at the edge of the four-sided hem portion, and a stop portion that can fold and stop the folded portion from the edge of the hem portion to the top plate side is provided. It is characterized by having been provided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a kotatsu futon of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a use state. In the figure, 1 is a kotatsu futon main body, 2 is a center top plate placing portion, 3 is a hem portion, 4 is a folded portion, 5 and 6 are hooks, 7 is a string, and 10 is a top plate.

In this embodiment, the folded portion 4 has a trapezoidal shape so that it can be folded from the bottom portion to the hem portion 3 and is normally fixed to the hem portion 3 by hooks 5 and 6. . In its folded state, it is the same size as a conventional quadrilateral kotatsu futon.

If you want to sleep with a kotatsu, remove the hooks 5 and 6 on the side of the top plate 10 where you are sitting, and the folding part 4 can be separated from the hem part 3. Remove the string) and lower the folding part 4 toward you,
