Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tatami space installation structure for a tatami room, in which a plurality of tatami units are arranged side by side on a floor such as an ocean floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, many newly-built houses adopt a layout mainly in a Western-style room, and some of the houses have no Japanese-style rooms. However, while the westernization of homes has progressed, many people have demanded the warmth of Japanese tatami mats due to the effects of today's aging society. There are cases where a plurality of tatami mats are spread or a corner of the floor is separated by a wooden frame and a tatami corner is provided there.

[0003]

However, when installing the tatami mats as described above, unlike the conventional tatami mat laying method in a Japanese-style room, there is a method in which a tatami unit is placed directly on the floor of the tatami room. In this case,
After use, each tatami unit is displaced from each other to create a gap, and in the case of a form surrounded by a wooden frame like a tatami corner, contrary to the idea of barrier-free, which is the tendency of recent homes, the arrangement of Western tatami mats Since the pattern is restricted by the wooden frame, there is an inconvenience that cannot be used for various purposes.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tatami space installation structure for a Western-style tatami mat that can prevent misalignment during use and can reliably prevent the formation of a gap between tatami units.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is a Western-style tatami mat in which a plurality of tatami units are spread to form a tatami space on a floor surface, The tatami space includes corner tatami units arranged at four corners, an intermediate tatami unit arranged between each corner tatami unit, and a central tatami mat surrounded by each of the corner tatami units and each intermediate tatami unit. And each of the corner tatami units and each of the tatami mat tatami units are provided with inquiring means which approach each other so as to maintain the form of the tatami mat space.

Here, the tatami unit means one tatami mat forming a tatami space, and the size and shape of the tatami unit are not particularly limited. Also,
The tatami space is an aggregate of the tatami units, and the number of tatami units to be arranged is not particularly limited. Further, the inquiring means is a concept including all means capable of attracting adjacent corner tatami units and opposing inter-seat tatami units in a direction approaching each other. Examples include rubber strings, cloth strings, and springs.

[0007] With this configuration, each corner tatami unit is pulled from both sides by the pulling force of the inquiring means with respect to each tatami tatami unit arranged between each corner tatami unit. The tatami mat units are sandwiched with pressing force, and the central tatami unit is similarly sandwiched with pressing force by each pulling force of the inquiring means, so that each tatami unit does not shift with each other, Thereby, it is possible to construct a tatami space that is orderly and has a good appearance.

Further, the inquiring means may be fixed to the tatami unit, but as in the invention according to claim 2, the inquiring means in claim 1 is provided detachably in each tatami unit. Therefore, when the tatami space is not installed on the floor, the tatami units can be freely stored irrespective of the form of accommodation, and each tatami unit can be separated, so that it can be carried easily.
