Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for manufacturing a mattress for shipping the mattress.

It is important for health maintenance that the futon to be used is hygienic. Therefore, a method for manufacturing a futon that manufactures a futon excellent in hygiene has already been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-187554

  However, in general, a futon sold at a store is simply folded and packed in a bag with a fastener, and is not subjected to a drying process or a dust removal process before shipment. For this reason, after purchasing a futon, the purchaser has to ensure the hygiene aspect by taking time and effort such as drying in the sun, drying on a dryer, or vacuuming before using the futon.

  Therefore, the present invention includes a method for manufacturing a mattress for shipping a mattress including a futon that can be used with confidence immediately after purchase by the purchaser without taking the trouble, and the mattress. The purpose is to provide shipping packages.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following method and shipment package. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

  The first method for producing a futon according to the present invention is a method for producing a mattress for shipping the mattress (5), wherein the futon (1) using the batting composed of endless fibers is dried. Thereafter, the above-described problem is solved by storing the futon in a predetermined bag (6) and sealing the bag. Here, the futon is a shipping form in which a set of mattresses and comforters, a shipping form in which a pillow or underwear, etc. is added to the set, and a form in which only the mattress or only the comforter is shipped, In addition to these, accessories such as pillows or underwear shall be included to include a shipment form in one set.

  By this method of manufacturing a futon, the purchaser can obtain a futon that has been dried and kept in its condition before shipping, so that the buyer can dry the futon such as sun-dried before use. It is possible to save time and effort.

  In particular, in the present invention, the futon included in the mattress, that is, the batting used for the mattress or the comforter is made of an endless fiber. A general fiber is composed of an infinite number of fibers having a predetermined length, and an endless fiber is composed of an uninterrupted fiber. For this reason, the futon using the batting composed of endless fibers does not generate dust from the batting, and the hygiene can be further improved as compared with the duvet using an ordinary batting. In addition, the futon made of batting made of endless fiber is better than breathing and heat retention than ordinary futons, and can be washed in a home washing machine. High hygiene can be maintained afterwards.

  A second method for manufacturing a mattress according to the present invention is the method for manufacturing a mattress for shipping the mattress, wherein after the dust removal treatment is applied to the futon using the batting composed of endless fibers, The above-mentioned problem is solved by storing the futon in a predetermined bag and sealing the bag.

  By this method of manufacturing a futon, the purchaser can obtain a futon from which dust has been removed and maintained before shipment. It is possible to save time and effort for removing dust. The significance of using the batting made of endless fiber for the futon is the same as that described above in the first method for producing the braid.

  According to a third method for producing a futon according to the present invention, in the method for producing a futon for shipping the futon, a drying process and a dust removing process are performed on the futon made of the batting composed of endless fibers. Then, the above-mentioned problem is solved by storing the futon in a predetermined bag and sealing the bag.

  According to this method of manufacturing a futon, the purchaser can obtain a futon that has been dried and dust-removed before shipment and maintained in this state. Therefore, to ensure hygiene, the futon must be used before use. In addition, it is possible to save troublesome work such as sun drying and vacuuming on the purchaser side. The significance of using the batting made of endless fiber for the futon is the same as that described above in the first method for producing the braid.

  In the production method of the present invention, a heat drying process may be performed as the drying process, and then the removal process may be performed. In this case, it is possible to secure a sanitary surface more efficiently by first making a dry state in which dust attached to the futon is easily removed by a drying process and then removing the dust.

  In the production method of the present invention, the drying treatment may be performed using a dryer (2) having a heat drying function. Drying by heating makes it possible to dry the futon and kill mites. Here, ticks are generally known types of ticks. In particular, when dust removal is performed after heat drying to kill mites, dead mites can be removed, which is effective in ensuring hygiene of the futon. In order to kill the widely known mites, the heating temperature of the futon may be set to 50 ° C. or higher and the heating time to 10 seconds or longer. Preferably, the heating temperature of the futon is set to 80 ° C. or more, and the heating time is set to 2 minutes or more. Further, for complete sterilization, the heating temperature of the futon is set to 110 ° C. or higher and the heating time is set to 30 minutes or longer.

  In the manufacturing method of this invention, you may perform the removal process of the said dust using a dust collector (3). By performing the dust removal process with the dust collector, it is possible to perform the removal work on a larger number of futons faster than when manually performed by a person.

  In the manufacturing method of the present invention, after the futon is stored in a predetermined bag, the bag may be sealed by putting the inside of the bag in which the futon is stored in a vacuum state. By making the vacuum state, the volume of the entire mattress housed in the bag becomes smaller than the volume before making the vacuum state, so that space is saved during transportation and stocking.

  The present invention may be embodied as a shipping package of a mattress manufactured by each of the manufacturing methods described above.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the drying process and the dust removal process are performed before the futon using the batting made of the endless fiber is accommodated in the shipping bag, the purchaser is troublesome. It is possible to ship a mattress that can be used with confidence immediately after purchase.

  1 (a) to 1 (f) show an operation process for manufacturing a shipping mattress according to the present invention. In this example, first, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a plurality of futons 1... 1 before shipment are spread on a carriage 2a and applied to a dryer 2 having a heating and drying function. 1 ... 1 are heat-dried. The heating temperature and time at this time may be set appropriately, but preferably at 80 ° C. for about 2 minutes. Many widely known ticks are killed by heating at 50 ° C. for 10 seconds. Therefore, if the heating temperature and time are set as described above, the effect of killing ticks can be expected. In addition, the batting of the futon 1 ... 1 is comprised with the endless fiber.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the dried futon 1 is spread and sent one by one to the dust collector 3 to remove the dust adhering to the futon 1. Then, as shown in FIG.1 (c), while folding the futon 1 from which the dust was removed to the magnitude | size suitable for packaging, the futon 1 is combined with the other articles | goods 4 which should be bundled. Other articles 4 include other comforters or mattresses to be used integrally with the futon 1, pillows, sheets, underwear, or pajamas. In addition, it is desirable that the various articles 4 to be bundled as the mattress 5 are also subjected to a heat drying process and a dust removing process in the same manner as the futon 1.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1 (d), the mattress 5 is stored in a predetermined bag 6. As the bag 6, a bag having a sealing property that allows so-called vacuum packing is used. Then, as shown in FIG.1 (e), air is attracted | sucked from the inside of the bag 6 with the suction machine 7, the inside of the bag 6 is made into a vacuum state, and the bag 6 is sealed in that state. Thereby, as shown in FIG.1 (f), the shipping packing 8 of the mattress which was reduced in volume is completed.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the layout of a work facility for performing the above work. In this example, the arrangement is such that a series of operations from heat drying treatment to shipping packing of the mattress (hereinafter simply referred to as “series of operations”) can be performed as a flow operation along the wall of the workplace 18.
