BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a treatment bag which is provided with an edge for preventing detachment at the periphery thereof and which is provided with a treatment bag which expands and contracts therein so that a relaxed state can be maintained and a massage action can be appropriately performed. It is related to a comfort mat that can be made to work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Ordinary mats are made of a cushioning material in the form of a futon, or have a cushioning property maintained by air pressure by supplying air to the inside.

In recent years, a plurality of treatment bags are arranged inside the above-mentioned futon, and an air supply / exhaust device for expanding and contracting each treatment bag is connected via an air hose to sequentially inflate each treatment bag. An air massage device capable of performing compression massage by contraction has been developed and commercialized.

[0004]

However, in this type of conventional mat or air massage device, both the former and the latter are used as substitutes for the futon, and are formed into a flat shape suitable for sleep and sleep. In addition, since it is necessary to prepare a pillow, it is not suitable for performing a simple nap or rest using the pillow alone.

[0005] In recent years, there have been developed mats and air massage devices formed with unevenness on the upper surface thereof and those provided with pillows integrally. These are also suitable for sleeping, but they are suitable for sleeping or napping. It is unsuitable for rest, and there is no one suitable for rest in a relaxed state at present.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is formed of a material having a cushioning property so as to cover at least the upper part of the body, and is configured so that the upper part of the body is bent slightly upward, so that nap or rest can be achieved. The purpose is to provide a comfortable mat suitable for the car.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use mat which can hold a body at a predetermined angle without detachment and can perform pneumatic massage arbitrarily.

Further, the present invention provides an comfort mat which forms an edge around the mat body to maintain an appropriate expanded / contracted state so as to prevent the user from detaching from the mat and to also have an armrest function. The purpose is to provide.

Further, according to the present invention, a driving device is provided inside a mat holding base which is made of a material having cushioning properties and is curved so that the back side of the body is bent slightly upward, so that the holding base can be used effectively. It is intended to provide a comfort mat.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems The comfort mat of the present invention is configured as follows to achieve the above object.

That is, in the comfort mat according to the first aspect of the present invention, one side in the longitudinal direction of a mat body having an endless edge portion that covers at least the upper part of the body with a cushioning material is formed by curving upward. The present invention is characterized in that a holding base for holding a bent state is provided at a lower portion of a bending side of the main body.

The comfort mat according to the second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of treatment bags which are expanded and contracted by air supply and exhaust of an air supply and exhaust device are provided inside the mat body. is there.

Further, the comfort mat according to the third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the endless edge of the mat body is configured to be capable of being expanded and contracted by air supply and exhaust of an air supply and exhaust device.

Furthermore, the comfort mat of the present invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that the air supply / exhaust device is provided inside a holding base.

[0015]

Therefore, the comfort mat of the present invention has the following effects by being configured as described above.

That is, the comfort mat according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a mat body formed of a cushioning material so as to cover at least the upper part of the body, and is provided with endless edges around the mat body. Because one side in the longitudinal direction of the main body is formed to be curved upward, the user can take a nap or a rest while lying on the mat body,
In this relaxed state, viewing and reading of television and radio can be performed.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of inflatable treatment bags are provided inside the mat body, each treatment bag can be arbitrarily expanded when a user wants to perform treatment. By contracting, a comfortable pneumatic massage can be performed with the body held at a certain angle.

Further, according to the present invention, since the endless edge of the mat body is configured to be capable of being expanded and contracted, the user can be prevented from falling off the mat during a nap or a rest. During normal use, this endless edge can be used as an armrest.

Further, according to the present invention, since the air supply / exhaust device for expanding and contracting the treatment bag and the endless edge is provided in the holding base below the mat body, the holding base is effectively used. In addition to this, it is possible to cut off noise such as compressor operation noise and air supply / exhaust sound during treatment by the user so that it does not cause discomfort, giving the user the condition to relax as much as possible. You can do it.
