Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tatami mat, and particularly to a tatami mat that is easy to lift.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Until relatively recently, tatami mats were raised and dried about once a year during a major cleaning. The drying of the tatami had a great effect on sterilization, prevention of mites and the like.
However, recently, I have not seen the tatami raised and dried. This is largely due to the fact that the system of general cleaning has disappeared, but the fact that the tatami itself is heavy and cannot be easily raised or lowered.
[0003]
In recent years, lightweight plastic tatami floors have been increasingly used instead of the conventional straw floors, and those having a thickness of about 20 mm called thin tatami mats have also been used.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, it is difficult to raise a tatami mat when it is laid in the room. That is, there is no clue, so there is no way to put effort.
For this reason, tatami craftsmen pierce a tatami surface with a hook-shaped tool called a hook and lift the tatami mat. However, such a method undesirably damages the tatami mat.
In addition, since such tools are not found in ordinary households and are expensive and dangerous, ordinary people point a thin object between the tatami mats, and then turn up the tatami even slightly and lift it up. I have.
Such a method is, of course, a very cumbersome and laborious task. Sometimes women cannot.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In view of the above situation, the inventor has completed the tatami mat of the present invention as a result of earnest research, and the feature thereof is that the end of the tape-like lifting tool is fixed to the back surface of the tatami mat, The other point of the lifting tool is that it is detachably fixed to the surface of the tatami mat.
[0006]
Here, the tape-shaped lifting device has a strength and a physical property such that the tape-shaped lifting device does not break or largely expand depending on a force for lifting the tatami mat. Any material may be used, but a woven fabric, a plastic sheet or a film is preferable.
It is preferable to have the same appearance as a tatami edge or a tatami mat so as not to be conspicuous. For example, the same as the tatami edge may be used, or the same as the tatami mat table may be used. In the case of a tatami mat, if the width is small, the tatami mat may be affixed to a film so that the tatami mats may be broken.
[0007]
Also, a strong film or sheet may be printed in the same manner as the tatami edge or tatami mat, or a unique or similar one may be manufactured using other fibers or rushes.
It may be woven using a plastic imitation rush like a tatami mat, and the back surface may be heat-sealed.
[0008]
One end of the tape-like lifting tool is fixed to the back of the tatami mat. Usually, it is preferable that the tatami be fixed to the end of the tatami mat so that the tatami mat may be inconspicuous (overlapping the edge of the tatami, if any). The method of fixing may be adhesion or sewing, but may be detachably fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like. In addition, if there is a large amount of friction and it is lifted without slipping in the operation of lifting, the large friction alone is considered to be a sticking here.
[0009]
The size of the tape-like pulling tool is not particularly limited, but its width may be small as long as it has breaking strength. Usually, about 1 to 3 cm is suitable. In addition, the length only needs to be as long as it can be held by hand on the front side of the tatami mat. Normally, it can be lifted if it is 3 cm or more on the front side. Of course, it may be longer. The back surface only needs to be fixed, and need not be long.
[0010]
The tape-like lifting device does not need to be fixed on the front side of the tatami mat. However, it is preferable that the tape-like pulling device be detachably and lightly fixed to the surface because it is damaged when moved, the tatami mat is damaged, and the appearance is poor. For example, a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener that can be fixed to the tatami edge is preferably fixed to the back surface.
[0011]
This tape-shaped lifting tool may be provided at any position and any number of places on the tatami mat, but is usually provided at one corner.
Further, it is not necessary that all the tatami mats laid in one room be the tatami mats of the present invention, and at least one tatami mat may be used. This is because raising one quire makes it easier for others to get in.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing one example of the tatami mat 1 of the present invention. A tape-shaped pulling-up tool 3 is provided at the edge 2 of the tatami mat. The lifting tool 3 is made of a thin plastic tape, and is printed in the same pattern as the tatami edge 2.
[0013]
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the tape-like lifting tool 3. Hook-and-loop fasteners 4 are provided on the back surfaces of both ends of the tape-shaped pulling-up tool 3. Also, a hook-and-loop fastener is provided at a position corresponding to that of the tatami edge. The hook-and-loop fasteners may be engaged with each other by male or female, or both may be used. The dual use is a hook-and-loop fastener having both male and female fixed to one surface.
[0014]
In FIG. 2 (a), the tape-like lifting tool 3 appears to be floating, but it is practically hard to understand. The upper side of the tape-like lifting tool 3 is turned up so as to be easily gripped (FIG. 2B). The tatami is lifted by grasping and pulling the raised portion. Of course, if you float a little, your hands can easily be lifted under the tatami mats.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
The tatami mat of the present invention has the following major advantages.
(1) Since the lifting device is provided, the tatami mat can be easily lifted, and it is easy to hang the tatami or to spray the medicine on the back surface.
(2) Since it is easy to dry, the occurrence of mites and molds is suppressed, and it becomes sanitary.
(3) It is very inexpensive because the effect is exhibited even if only one state per room.
(4) There is no discomfort because it is hardly noticeable.
