Description

  The present invention relates to a tatami board and a set thereof, and more particularly, to a tatami board and a set thereof that can replace a conventional tatami mat.

  Traditionally, the tatami mats used in Japanese houses are sewn with tatami mats using rush grass on the surface of the tatami floor that has been compressed and tightened with straw. Are manufactured. In recent years, materials other than straw have been increasingly used as tatami floors due to the fact that straw has become scarce, but traditional specifications have been inherited for tatami mats.

  The above prior art is publicly implemented, and the applicant has not found a document describing this prior art at the time of filing this application.

  However, in recent years, it is often performed that carpets and other rugs are laid on the tatami mats, feeling that old-fashioned tatami rooms are old and not fashionable. Therefore, while living in a Japanese-style house with a tatami room, the unique texture of the tatami mat and the advantages such as humidity control and elasticity inherent to the tatami mat were not utilized. On the other hand, there are an increasing number of people who review the goodness of traditional Japanese-style architecture and actively incorporate tatami into their daily lives. . For example, in the conventional tatami mat, the decorative elements are limited to the rim cloth, and even if the atmosphere of the room is changed, the rim cloth is limited to the one having a different color or pattern. For this reason, there has been a demand for a decorative element that can greatly change the atmosphere of the tatami room or express individuality.

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a tatami board and a set thereof that can impart decoration to the tatami room and can easily change the atmosphere of the room. .

  In order to determine the above-mentioned problem, the tatami mat board according to the present invention includes a flat core material and a surface material made of cloth having a pattern stretched from the surface to the side surface of the core material. The length is substantially the same as that of a semi-tatami mat or one tatami mat, and the thickness is approximately the same as the thickness of the tatami mat ".

  A half tatami mat or one tatami mat is a size corresponding to a conventional half tatami mat or one tatami mat. There are various standards for the size of tatami mats, such as Edo, Kyoto, and housing estate sizes, but any standard may be adopted depending on the area used.

  The core material can be formed by compressing a straw material in the same manner as a conventional tatami floor. Alternatively, a material obtained by compressing a wood fiber or wood chip or an elastic material such as foamed polystyrene can be used. Further, the core material can be formed by stacking different materials such as a straw material and a foamed polystyrene material, a wood fiber material and a foamed polystyrene material. In addition, it can also be set as the core material provided with deodorizing property and humidity control property by laminating | stacking these materials by interposing the sheet | seat by porous materials, such as activated carbon and a zeolite.

  As the surface material, cloths of various materials such as cotton cloth, linen cloth, chemical fiber woven fabric, and non-woven fabric can be used. The surface material is stretched from the surface of the core material to the side surface. For example, the surface material can be stretched so that the side surface is entirely covered and the end of the surface material extends to the back surface of the core material. Alternatively, the surface material can be stretched so as to reach the middle of the side surface from the surface of the core material.

  The pattern of the surface material may be applied later to the cloth used as the surface material, or the pattern may be originally displayed on the cloth itself. For example, a pattern can be given to the cloth by performing embroidery, application, and handicraft. In addition, the fabric can be patterned by dyeing, printing, and hand drawing. Alternatively, a cloth in which a pattern is expressed, such as a yuzen dyeing or a koji cloth, or a cloth in which a plurality of kinds of cloths having different patterns or materials are patchworked can be used as the surface material.

  Therefore, according to the tatami mat board of the present invention, a tatami room can be decorated as an ornament that is not found in conventional tatami mats by using it instead of a tatami half tatami mat or one tatami mat. For example, by replacing one or a plurality of existing tatami mats such as a semi-tatami mat or one tatami mat, it is possible to decorate the tatami room while taking advantage of the texture of the tatami mat, humidity control, elasticity and the like. Alternatively, when a new building is constructed, a part or all of the tatami room is used as the tatami board of the present invention from the beginning, so that a decorative tatami room can be obtained. And by appropriately selecting the tatami mat board of the present invention having different patterns and fabric materials, it is possible to make the tatami room different in atmosphere from room to room, which has been the same atmosphere in any room in the past. . For example, by using different tatami boards in a children's room for boys, a child's room for girls, a room with babies, a room for seniors, etc., the atmosphere matches the resident's preference and age etc. Can be a tatami room.

  Further, by replacing the tatami board placed in the tatami room with another tatami board having a different pattern, the atmosphere can be easily changed and the pattern can be changed even in the same room. For example, depending on the season, you can choose between warm and cold colors, use patterns that you want to show up at the time of celebrations, and events such as Hinamatsuri and Christmas. You can use things that are named after. Moreover, by changing to a tatami-shaped board with a different material for the surface material, it is possible to enjoy different feels and touches of wool, cotton, hemp, silk, and the like.

  Furthermore, when a plurality of tatami boards according to the present invention are provided, there are many combinations of the number and arrangement of the tatami boards in the conventional tatami mats, so that the change can be enjoyed. For example, interposing a plurality of conventional tatami mats, laying the tatami mat board of the present invention in a distant position, arranging tatami mats and tatami mat boards alternately, or laying a plurality of tatami mat boards adjacent to each other can do. At this time, the tatami mat board of the present invention is approximately the same size as the conventional tatami half tatami mat or one tatami mat and has the same thickness as the tatami mat, so that it is installed without any step or gap between the tatami mats. be able to. In addition, when the tatami mat board of the present invention is spread over the entire surface of the tatami room, in order to fit the size of a conventional tatami room such as six tatami mats and eight tatami mats, there is a gap around the room, The board can be used without lifting up.

  In addition, the surface material is stretched from the surface of the tatami board to the side surface, so that the end of the surface material does not appear on the surface of the tatami board, so the appearance is not impaired, It can be used without fear of peeling off the material.

  Moreover, when the surface material is a cloth, it becomes easy for the tatami board to have a pattern. In other words, when trying to add a pattern to a conventional tatami mat, it is conceivable to knit the tatami mat with pre-dyed grass or to knit the tatami mat with a special weaving method that raises the pattern. Will also increase. It is also possible to draw a pattern directly on the tatami mat with paint, etc., or to print the pattern, but the tatami mat woven with weeds as weft and hemp as warps has irregularities. It is difficult to print and the pattern once attached is easy to peel off. On the other hand, in the case of the tatami mat board of the present invention in which the surface material is a cloth, it is easy to sew and bond an embroidery thread or another cloth, as well as to dye, print and draw. The board can be easily patterned. As described above, it is possible to apply a pattern by using various methods such as embroidery, appliqué, painting, patchwork, etc., and it is also possible to use various fabrics on which the pattern is originally represented. Therefore, it is possible to make the patterns attached to the tatami board extremely diverse.

  In addition, since the surface material is cloth, the floor material is a new floor material that has a different feel and texture from conventional floor materials such as tatami mats and wood, and conventional rugs such as carpets and carpets. For example, it has a feel and feel different from a smooth feel and a cool touch such as a grass tatami surface and a wood floor, and the feel differs depending on the material of the cloth. In addition, those that have been subjected to a picture work or application, etc. will have a three-dimensional feel or the like. Further, since the fabric fibers do not form loops like carpets and carpets, they become flooring materials that are easy to care for and clean.

  Furthermore, the tatami board set according to the present invention is “provided with a plurality of the tatami boards described above, and the patterns of the surface material of the respective tatami boards are related to each other”. It is characterized by.

  The number of tatami boards constituting one tatami board set is not limited. For example, three tatami boards can be used as one set, or five tatami boards can be used as one set. And you can use multiple tatami boards that make up one set at the same time in one tatami room, or use one of them and replace it with other tatami boards in the set. Alternatively, individual tatami boards in the set can be used in different tatami rooms.

  As the relationship of the pattern, for example, it is formed so that the pattern of the surface material is continuous with the surface of the other tatami board in the same set on at least one of the four sides surrounding the surface of one tatami board. Can be mentioned. These tatami boards can be used alone, or a plurality of these tatami boards can be used in parallel so that the patterns are continuous. Alternatively, a single set can be formed by combining a plurality of tatami boards with the same pattern. In this case, it can be used by changing the number of sheets to be used and the position of use, or by laying a tatami board in the tatami room and unifying the entire surface with the same pattern. Alternatively, a plurality of tatami boards on which contents recognized as having some common property are represented as a pattern may be combined into one set. For example, a set of seasonal flowers on each tatami board, a set of seasonal festivals such as Hinamatsuri or Tanabata, a set of dragon gods and thunder gods, etc.

  Therefore, according to the tatami board set of the present invention, by providing a plurality of tatami boards in advance, the used tatami board can be exchanged with other tatami boards in the set, and the room can be used very easily. You can change the atmosphere. In addition, since the tatami board in the set can be used alone or a plurality of tatami boards can be used at the same time, the usage method becomes various and the user's preference is easily reflected.

  As described above, as an effect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a tatami-like board and a set thereof that can impart decorativeness to the tatami room and can easily change the atmosphere of the room.

  Hereinafter, a tatami board according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a semi-tatami-sized tatami board is illustrated. Here, FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing the configuration of the tatami board of the present embodiment, FIG. 1B is a sectional view taken along the line AA, and FIGS. 2 to 5 show how to use the tatami board. It is explanatory drawing.

  The tatami board 1 of this embodiment is made of a cloth having a flat core material 2 and a pattern stretched from the surface to the side surface of the core material 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b). The surface material 5 is mainly provided and configured. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1B, a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1A, the core material 2 is composed of a fiber material 2a formed by compressing a wood fiber and a straw material 2b on both sides. It has a three-layer structure sandwiched between and is formed in a flat plate shape. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1B, the thickness of each layer is different from the actual one in order to clearly show the configuration. A cloth surface material 5 is stretched on the upper surface of the core material 2 so as to cover the entire surface of the core material 2, and is further arranged so as to go around from the side surface of the core material 2 to the back surface. The surface material 5 is bonded to the surface of the core material 2 and is sewn to the straw material 2b of the core material 2 at important points. In addition, the surface material 5 can also be sewn on the whole with respect to the straw material 2b of the core material 2 like the conventional tatami surface.

  In the present embodiment, the surface material 5 has a pattern represented by embroidery. And the tatami-shaped board 1 comprised in this way is the same magnitude | size as the half tatami size of Kyoto, and is formed in the thickness substantially the same as a tatami. In this embodiment, an edge cloth 7 having a pattern or material different from that of the surface material 5 is applied along a pair of opposite sides of the four sides surrounding the upper surface of the tatami board 1. The edge cloth 7 is further arranged so as to wrap around from the side surface to the back surface, and is sewn to the straw material 2 b of the core material 2 via the surface material 5.

  Next, the usage method of the tatami mat board 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 2 thru | or FIG. As shown in FIG. 2A, the tatami board 1 can be used in place of the half tatami mat of the conventional tatami 9. Or, in the case of a new construction, the tatami board 1 of the present embodiment can be mixed with the tatami 9 from the beginning. Thus, by applying the tatami board 1 of the present embodiment to the tatami room, it is possible to give decorativeness to a conventional tatami room that tends to give a simple and simple impression. At this time, the tatami board 1 according to the present embodiment has substantially the same size as the standard tatami mat 9 and has the same thickness as the tatami 9. It can be installed without any step or gap. Further, since the surface material 5 is made of cloth, it is possible to enjoy a feel and feel different from those of conventional flooring materials such as tatami mats 9 and wood, and rugs such as carpets and carpets. In addition, although the tatami board 1 of this embodiment is a semi-tatami size, as shown in FIG.2 (b), it installs using the space of the tatami 9 for one tatami by combining with the semi-tatami tatami 9. You can also.

  Furthermore, all the tatami rooms have a similar atmosphere in the past, but the pattern of the tatami board makes the tatami room have a unique atmosphere according to the individuality and preference of the resident, the use of the room, etc. be able to. For example, by installing a tatami board 1b having a lovely pattern as shown in FIG. 3A in a room where young children and babies are located, a tatami room having a lovely atmosphere completely different from the conventional tatami room is obtained. In addition, the tatami board of this embodiment can be used by replacing the tatami board 9 with the tatami mat 9 only at a special occasion such as an event. For example, in the event of a good luck, a tatami board 1c having a pattern as shown in FIG. 3 (b) can be installed to produce a pleasant atmosphere.

  In addition, when the tatami board 1 of the present embodiment is a tatami board set including a plurality of tatami boards (hereinafter simply referred to as “sets”), it is combined with other tatami boards in the set. Can be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the tatami board 1 has a configuration of a plurality of sets 10 having the same motif as a pattern, examples are shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C. Thus, a plurality of tatami mat boards 1 can be used simultaneously. At this time, there are a large number of combinations of the number of sheets to be used at the same time and how to arrange them. 4 (b) shows a case where three tatami boards 1 are arranged diagonally in a four and a half tatami room, and FIG. 4 (c) shows a case where five tatami boards 1 are arranged in a crank shape. Illustrated. Furthermore, when the pattern of the surface material 5 of the tatami board 1 is formed so as to be continuous with the pattern of the surface material 5 of the other tatami board 1 in the set 10 on at least one side of the upper surface, FIG. As shown in (c), they can be used side by side so that the patterns are continuous.

  In addition, when the tatami mat board 1 of the present embodiment has the configuration of the set 20 in which the related content is represented as a pattern, a usage method different from the above is possible. In FIG. 5, the case where the tatami board 1 of this embodiment is the structure of the set 20 which represented the plant of the four seasons as a pattern is illustrated. For example, in the spring, the cherry blossom-patterned tatami board 1 is installed as shown in FIG. 2 (a) or FIG. 2 (b), and is replaced with another tatami board in the set 20 according to the change in season. It can be used as a morning glory tatami board 1d in the summer, a maple tatami board 1e in the autumn, and a tatami board 1f in the winter. At this time, since the plurality of tatami mats 1, 1d, 1e, and 1f are provided as one set 20 in advance, they can be easily exchanged at any time.

  In addition, in a house or inn that has a plurality of tatami rooms, the tatami boards in the set 20 may be installed in different rooms, and the atmosphere of the rooms may be different, such as a cherry blossom room or a maple room. it can. Of course, all the tatami mat boards 1, 1d, 1e, and 1f in the set 20 can be simultaneously installed and used in the same room.

  As described above, according to the tatami mat board 1 of the present embodiment, by using the tatami mat 9 in place of the semi-tatami mat, the advantages of the existing tatami mat 9 such as texture, humidity control and elasticity are utilized. The tatami room can be decorated as an ornament that the conventional tatami 9 does not have. In addition, a tatami room, which has conventionally had the same atmosphere in any room, can have a different atmosphere for each room. Further, by replacing the tatami board 1 with another tatami board having a different pattern or cloth material, it is possible to easily change the atmosphere of the tatami room, which has been difficult to change in the past.

  Furthermore, since the surface material 5 is stretched from the front surface to the back surface of the tatami board 1, the end of the surface material 5 does not appear on the surface of the tatami board 1. The surface material 5 can be used without fear of peeling off. In addition, since the surface material 5 is a cloth, a pattern can be easily attached by embroidery or the like, and the attached pattern does not have to be peeled off and becomes stable. In addition, since the surface material 5 is a cloth, it becomes a new floor material that has a feeling and texture different from those of conventional floor materials and rugs.

  In addition, when the tatami board 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration of a set 10 including a plurality of tatami boards 1 having the same pattern, the number of tatami boards 1 can be enjoyed by variously changing the number of the tatami boards 1 and combinations with the conventional tatami mats. Or you can unify the atmosphere of the room with patterns. When the tatami board 1 is a set composed of tatami boards having a pattern relevance, for example, the set 20, the tatami board 1 used can be easily replaced with another tatami board. Can easily change the atmosphere of the room. In addition, the tatami-shaped boards in the sets 10 and 20 can be used alone or simultaneously, so that the room can be decorated while reflecting the user's preference by various usage methods. Becomes easy.

  The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the case where the tatami board is formed in a semi-tatami size of a conventional tatami mat is illustrated, but it may be a tatami mat size. Moreover, although the case where a tatami board set is configured by a plurality of semi-tatami mats is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a tatami board set is configured by a plurality of tatami mats. Can be. Alternatively, one tatami board set can be configured by combining semi-tatami-size and one-tatami-size tatami boards.

  Further, the tatami board can be provided with a handle portion that becomes a handle during transportation or replacement. For example, a string-like member is attached to a tatami-shaped board in an annular shape, and handling and replacement operations are facilitated by placing a hand on the member. And when this handle is attached to the side of the tatami board, when using the tatami board, the handle is hidden at the boundary between the adjacent tatami mat and the tatami board, and the appearance of the surface material with the pattern It can be used without damaging.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the case where a border fabric was distribute | arranged along a pair of edge | side of an upper surface was illustrated, it is not limited to this structure. For example, it is possible to provide a fabric that does not include a fabric, a fabric that is arranged only on one side of the upper surface, and a fabric that is arranged on all four sides surrounding the upper surface. In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where the pattern of the surface material is represented by embroidery is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pattern is obtained by various methods such as dyeing and application, or by a combination of a plurality of methods.
