Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an ottoman used as a stool or a footrest without a backrest, and more particularly to a ottoman cover and ottoman that can comfortably store mattresses and bedding of futons.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Traditionally, singles and singles have switched between various lifestyles, whether they like to wake up, eat, or chat with friends in a 1K or 1DK one-room small room. I was in a situation where I had to live.
In particular, in order to use a room that had been used as a bedroom at night as a living room during the daytime, it was often difficult to place bedding.
In addition, bedding is often used instead of a bed for bedding, but summer futons and winter futons are usually used according to the season.
[0003]
However, if summer and winter futons are accommodated at once, these futons occupy most of the space for close-in and cannot secure storage space for clothes and the like.
In order to solve such problems, for example, inventions such as “a storage cover for storing a futon to form a sofa and a sofa formed by storing a futon in the storage cover” have been proposed.
When living in a small room, this invention needs to be accommodated in a closet by making it possible to divert futons that are not normally used or used during the day to other living equipment that is accommodated in the room. This makes it possible to secure a sufficient storage space for clothes or the like in the closet (see Patent Document 1).
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Patent No. 2796948 [0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above proposal is to use a futon that is not normally used or used during the day for living in a small room. A general sofa with a backrest is selected as a daily life tool.
There are other similar proposals, but they all convert to sofas with a backrest.
[0006]
This type of storage cover is intended to be put in the bedclothes, so it is easy to put in and out, and it is easy to release moisture absorbed from the body while using the bedding, and should be diverted. It is required to be suitable for the purpose of daily life and not to lose shape.
However, when a sofa with a backrest is selected as a living tool to be diverted in this way, the contents that are contained are soft futons, so that there is a problem that the shape tends to be lost when used as a sofa.
[0007]
In particular, the backrest has many opportunities to lean against the body and to be pushed by hand, and it is easy to apply force in the horizontal direction. This external force causes a shift between the contents or between the contents and the cover, and easily breaks the outer shape of the sofa.
Therefore, in order to reduce these deformations, a special part is attached to fix the important parts of the futons by partially binding them with a tightening band, or to eliminate the gap between the backrest and the flat part of the sofa. Some ideas are added. For this reason, the structure becomes complicated, and the moisture dissipating effect of stored items such as bedding is lowered, and there is a drawback that the storing operation and taking out operation of the contents become complicated.
[0008]
On the other hand, an ottoman used as an armchair or as a footrest when sitting on a sofa is a simple rectangular parallelepiped shape, is easy to configure, and is one of the other purpose furniture different from the bedding storage Is appropriate.
In particular, in a home with children, it is also suitable as a playground for children and as a table for changing diapers. Furthermore, if a single top plate is prepared, it can be quickly changed to a living table (or sub-table) for children when a large number of visitors visit.
Moreover, for such applications, it is better not to have a backrest like a sofa.
However, at present, no proposal has been found to serve as both a bedding cover and an ottoman cover.
[0009]
The object of the present invention is to cover an unfinished bedding with a cover and use it as an object to be diverted to other daily life.There are many problems in structure and use, and it is not a sofa with a backrest that is difficult to produce. Select and solve the above problems, providing ottoman covers and ottoman covers that are easy to put in and out bedding, do not lose shape during use, have high moisture dissipation performance, and have good appearance. It is to be.
