Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tatami mat of which the total cost is reduced by reducing the number of tatami mat per a room as much as possible and by relatively reducing wear and a ratio of sides, and further, which can reduce laborious laying work or the like. SOLUTION: The tatami mat is so comprised that it has longer short sides than a usual tatami mat, and, its tatami facing is formed by weaving artificial rush, the short sides are the length obtained by dividing the length of one side of a room, to which the tatami mats are laid by an integer, and the long sides of the tatami mat are the length obtained by dividing the length of the other side of the room by an integer.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a large tatami mat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Tatami is manufactured by weaving rushes. There are various sizes, and the lengths are slightly different to match the dimensions at the site, but the length is about 2 m or less. , And the width is about 1 m or less. The length of 1 m or less is a regulation based on the length of natural rush, which has been inherited as a tradition.

[0003] Usually, when a Japanese-style room is made, an assignment operation is performed. For example, the number of sheets such as 6 and 8 tatami mats and the fixed size of the tatami mats (Kyoto, Edo etc.) are determined. Design and build a room with these dimensions.

[0004]

However, in a Japanese-style room with eight or ten tatami or more, the number of tatami mats is large, and it takes time to lay the tatami mats. Also, the smaller the tatami itself, the greater the proportion of edges and sides, and the greater the labor required for processing.

[0005] Therefore, even in a Japanese-style room in which tatami mats of the conventional size are laid, it is desired to reduce the number of tatami mats from the trouble of replacing the tatami mats. There was a request to reduce it. However, this is not possible as long as conventional natural rush is used.

[0006]

In view of the above situation, the inventor of the present invention completed the large tatami mat of the present invention as a result of intensive studies, and the feature of the present tatami mat is that it is longer than a normal tatami mat. It has short sides and its tatami mat surface is woven imitation rush, and its short side is the length of one side of the room to be laid down divided by an integer, and the long side of the tatami Is the length obtained by dividing the length of the other side of the room by an integer.

[0007] The imitation rush in the present invention means a material having a thickness substantially similar to that of natural rush and woven in the same manner. The raw material may be any material such as plastic and paper. The manufacturing method is also free.

A feature of the present invention is that it can be laid exactly in a conventional Japanese-style room (meaning a room on which tatami mats are to be laid), and the number thereof is reduced.

[0009] The short side of the tatami mat in the present invention is usually the end without a border. Of course, in the present invention, since there is no need for an edge, it means the shorter side. Although a square type may be used, in this case, the long side and the short side have the same length.

The length divided by an integer is, for example, when four tatami mats according to the present invention are spread between six tables, the short side between the six tables is 2.7.
m and the long side is 3.6 m, the tatami mat of the present invention has a width of 2.7 /
2 is 1.35 m and the long side is 1.8 m (same as conventional). Thus, the size of the room and the integer to be divided from the number of tatami mats may be determined.

As described above, the length which cannot be obtained with natural rush is made possible by imitation rush. Furthermore, it breaks the tradition of more than 1000 years and manufactures completely new and novel tatami mats. It is a large tatami mat that no one can imagine. Conventional thick (55 mm) and heavy (straw-floor) tatami mats cannot be handled, but women can still handle them with the recent development of thin tatami mats and lightweight plastic flooring.

A tatami having a shorter side than an ordinary tatami is larger than a conventional tatami because the purpose is basically to reduce the number of tatami mats, and the shorter side is also longer than the conventional tatami. This is only possible with imitation rushes as described above. Imitation rush is manufactured industrially from plastic or paper, and its length can be freely set. 1
0 m is also possible. In order to make this a tatami mat, it must be woven on a loom. Since the loom for weaving tatami mats weaves rush as weft yarns, the width was conventionally about 1 m due to the limitation of natural rush. In this method, the rush was fired between the warp yarns, skipped, and stopped at a predetermined position.

[0013] Alternatively, there is a method called a rapier loom in which the weft is made long and is not fired and fly, but is pulled from the opposite side by a guide. It is difficult to use this for imitation rush. Because the weft yarn is continuous and roll-wound, a thick material such as rush has residual stress, which remains even after weaving, and the streaks are not aligned.

In the present invention, a long rush is made possible by using the imitation rush, and the woven fabric is woven with a normal loom due to the problem of the streaks. Therefore, the imitation rush itself used must also be able to withstand the firing.

[0015]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of the large tatami mat 1 of the present invention. The imitation rush 2 is woven. In this example, as an imitation rush, a tape of a thermoplastic resin filed by the applicant and patented is passed through a heating member with a narrow gap, irregularly converged and formed, and a fused film is formed on the surface We use what we let. The thickness is almost the same as natural rush. The width is 1.35 m. The length of the long side is 1.8 m as in the conventional case.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of a space between three quires (1.8 m × 2.7 m). FIG. 2 (a) shows a tatami mat 2 of a conventional size spread out, and FIG. ) Is where the large tatami mat 1 of FIG. 1 was laid. In the present embodiment, the number of sheets is exactly two. Not only is the number of sheets reduced, but also the tatami mats are not vertically and horizontally (all are horizontal in the figure), and cleaning is easy. Furthermore, the number of butt portions 3 between the tatami mats is smaller than that of the conventional tatami mats (half the distance), and accordingly, clogging of dust and the like is reduced.

FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, in which the size of the room is four and a half (2.7 m × 2.7 m). (A)
Is a tatami mat having a conventional size, and (b) is a tatami mat having been laid. In this example, two sheets are used. Therefore, the size is 1.35m × 2.
7m. Because there are only two sheets, it is very easy to raise and lay tatami mats. In addition, since the number of sheets is small, it is very easy to measure the dimensions of the tatami mats.

FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, and the size of the room is 6 tables (2.7 mx 3.6 m). (A)
Traditional tatami mats are laid, and (b) shows large tatami mats.
Is an example in which there are four sheets, and (c) is an example in which two large tatami mats are used. The large tatami mat shown in FIG. 2B has the same size as the large tatami mat shown in FIG.
The large tatami mat in (c) has the same width as that in (b), but is twice as long. As in this example, various large tatami mats can be used in a room of the same size.

[0019]

The large tatami mat according to the present invention has the following great advantages. (1) It can be laid exactly in a traditional Japanese-style room,
Also, the number of tatami mats (number of sheets) is small. (2) When the number of tatami mats in the same room is reduced, the total tatami mat cost is reduced. (3) The dimensions of the tatami mats are small, which makes them simple. (4) The abutment between tatami mats is reduced, and clogging of trash is reduced.
