Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mattress that can efficiently dry futon stored using a futon dryer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A commonly used mattress is made of a woven fabric covered with futon molded from natural or synthetic fibers so that the futon absorbs sweat generated by the user at bedtime. I have to.
[0003]
The mattress allows the water absorbed by the futon at bedtime to be released naturally in the natural environment when not in use, but the natural release time within a day is limited. In many cases, the moisture absorbed by the futon cannot be sufficiently released.
[0004]
Therefore, as the number of days of use of the mattress increases, the amount of water accumulated in the futon increases, and the elasticity and hygroscopicity of the futon are lost. If the mattress lacks the elasticity of the futon, it will lack the elasticity of a fluffy feel as a whole. If the elasticity of the mattress is insufficient, the mattress is placed on a veranda or the like exposed to direct sunlight, the mattress is heated by sunlight, the moisture absorbed by the futon is released to the outside, and the elasticity of the mattress is restored.
[0005]
However, the mattress is heavy in its entirety and may not have space for sunbathing depending on the dwelling environment.Therefore, using a commercially available futon dryer, the mattress is dried with the mattress laid, and the moisture absorbed by the futon cotton is used. Has been released to release the elasticity of the mattress.
[0006]
However, when the futon is dried by the futon dryer, the warm air bag of the futon dryer is placed between the futon and the comforter, and the hot air generated by the futon dryer is supplied to the hot air bag and supplied to the hot air bag. Since the surface of the mattress is heated by hot air, it is possible to heat the surface side of the cotton wool on the mattress, but it may not be possible to heat the central part in the thickness direction. is there.
[0007]
In view of this, a futon has been developed in which a pair of futon bodies each containing a futon in a bag-shaped outer cover are connected therebetween so as to form an air passage portion by a breathable member (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0008]

Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2565098 (page 3, right column, lines 27 to 45, see FIG. 2)
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The futon dries the futon by guiding the warm air generated by the futon dryer to the futon of the futon main body through an air passage formed by a permeable member. Therefore, the warm air that dries the futon is guided through the less resistant air-permeable member without resistance to the futon, and is released to the outside through the outer cover. There is a problem that the residence time of the futon becomes short, and there is a limit to shorten the drying time of the futon.
[0010]
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and has as its object to provide a mattress that can efficiently dry futon in a short time.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the mattress of the present invention is a mattress in which the upper laminate and the lower laminate are overlapped and sewn together along the entire circumference, and the upper laminate has an upper mattress and a molded cotton layer. The lower laminate has a fabric, a molded cotton layer, and a lower fabric housing, and has a space between the resin cotton layer of the upper laminate and the fabric of the lower laminate. An opening communicating with a space formed between the resin cotton layer of the upper laminate and the fabric of the lower laminate is provided on a side surface of the mattress.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a mattress according to the present invention. The mattress 1 according to the present invention comprises an upper laminate 2 and a lower laminate 3 which are overlapped with each other and along the entire circumference or intermittently. And are sewn to each other.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2, the upper laminate 2 is, in order from the top, formed of an upper fabric 5 formed of cotton satin, a molded cotton layer 6, and a nylon taffeta fabric having excellent heat exchange properties. It has a cloth 7 and a resin cotton layer 8 which is resin-processed so that fibers on the surface are point-joined. The upper laminate 2 is separated and laminated, but may be formed as an integral product by quilting. The nylon taffeta fabric preferably has a use count of 70 denier, a density of 100 pieces / inch, and a width of 82 pieces / inch.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 2, the lower laminate 3 includes, in order from the top, a fabric 9 formed of a nylon taffeta fabric having excellent hot air retention properties, a hard cotton layer 10, a nonwoven fabric layer 11, and a spherical knots. And a lower cotton fabric 14 formed of a molded cotton layer 13 and cotton satin. All or a part of the hard cotton layer 10, the nonwoven fabric layer 11, and the spherical cotton layer 12 can be omitted. Although the lower laminate 3 is separated and laminated, an integrated product can be formed by quilting.
[0015]
The upper laminate 2 and the lower laminate 3 are arranged such that the resin cotton layer 8 and the fabric 9 are in contact with each other, and are sewn together along the entire circumference so as to be integrated by the hem 4 of the Adler tape. A space 15 serving as an air passage is formed between the resin cotton layer 8 of the upper laminate 2 and the fabric 9 of the lower laminate 3. This space 15 communicates with an opening 16 provided in the hem 4 on the side surface of the mattress 1. The opening 16 preferably communicates with the space 15 via a bag 17 that extends to an intermediate position in the width direction of the mattress 1. Although only one opening 16 is shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of openings 16 may be provided.
[0016]
In the mattress 1 according to the present invention, an opening 16 provided in the side hem 4 is connected to a blowing nozzle of a futon dryer (not shown) for drying the futon. The warm air generated by the operation of the futon dryer is sent from the blowing nozzle to the space 15 serving as an air passage between the resin cotton layer 8 of the upper laminate 2 and the fabric 9 of the lower laminate 3 via the opening 16. Can be
[0017]
The hot air sent to the space 15 branches in the space 15, and one of the branched hot airs heats the resin cotton layer 8 for a predetermined time by the cooperative action of the resin cotton layer 8 and the fabric 7, The molded cotton layer 12 of the upper laminate 2 is heated through the cotton layer 8 and the fabric 7 and then discharged to the outside through the upper fabric 5. Therefore, in the upper laminate 2, since the resin cotton layer 8 receives the initial warm air directly, the warm air is not sufficiently exchanged with the futon as in the conventional futon, and is discharged outside through the side futon. Therefore, the resin cotton layer 8 and the molded cotton layer 12 can be dried in a shorter time as compared with the conventional futon.
[0018]
On the other hand, the other hot air branched in the space 15 heats the molded cotton layer 13 when passing through the molded cotton layer 13 of the lower laminate 3, but the fabric 9 arranged in the upper layer and the resin cotton layer 8 cooperate. By the action, it passes through the molded cotton layer 13, is inverted at the contact surface with the floor, and does not escape to the upper laminate 2 without heat exchange with the molded cotton layer 13.
[0019]
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a mattress 1a is provided on a bag-like jacket 20 formed of cotton satin and an upper laminate 2 and a lower side. The stacked body 3 is housed in a stacked state. The opening 22 provided in the side surface 21 of the mattress 1 a communicates with a space 15 which is an air passage formed between the resin cotton layer 8 of the upper laminate 2 and the fabric 9 of the lower laminate 3. The opening 22 preferably communicates with the space 15 via a bag 23 extending to a middle position in the width direction of the mattress 1. The opening 22 can be opened and closed by a normal slide fastener 24.
[0020]
