Description

  The present invention reveals a Japanese-style space by laying it on the floor surface of, for example, a bathtub, a bathroom, a poolside, a place where outdoor tatami mats are used, and other places where water is present, and is also water-permeable. It relates to the tatami mat structure.

Conventionally, in the bathtub, in the bathroom, in the poolside, and other places where water is present, the floor is made of water-resistant tiles made of ceramic, for example. An insulator is placed on the tile floor. In addition, in the bathroom, there is a structure in which the floor surface itself is configured with a satin-like wooden floor structure with good water tanks or a paving stone floor structure without adopting a tile floor on the floor surface. . Furthermore, some bathtubs are constituted by, for example, enameled bathtubs or smoked bathtubs in addition to ceramic tiles.
nothing special

  By the way, with the recent aging of the population, the use of elderly people in hot springs and bathing facilities throughout the country is increasing. However, as in the past, floor surfaces in bathrooms, poolsides, and other places with water are made of ceramic. When the tile floor structure or the cobblestone floor structure is used, the surface is uneven, and water tends to accumulate at places other than the drainage grooves. Therefore, especially for elderly people, it may be extremely dangerous, such as slipping and falling and bruising the head. If such an accident occurs, the responsibility of the facility manager is responsible for the management according to the provisions of the PL Law. Therefore, the softening of bathroom flooring is desired. Moreover, when sitting directly on the floor surface, which is a tile floor structure or a paving stone floor surface structure, the user feels uncomfortable, and this is not particularly preferable for the elderly.

  In addition, for example, even in bathing facilities in elderly nursing and nursing facilities such as special elderly nursing homes and day service centers, accidents of falls of facility users frequently occur. In addition, the staff who assist the elderly in bathing at these facilities are forced to take an unstable posture due to the assistance work on the slippery bathroom floor, so that the staff themselves complain of low back pain. It is also true that there are so many.

  Even in the case of a wooden floor structure, there is a risk that an elderly person slips and falls and bruises the head, etc. In addition, since it is always exposed to moisture, it easily perishes due to the generation of scale, and soot tends to be generated, which makes a very troublesome management work for facility managers and assistance staff. In addition, in enameled bathtubs and smoked bathtubs, dirt accumulates at the bottom of the bathtub after use, and this is firmly attached, which makes cleaning work extremely troublesome. It had various problems.

  Therefore, the present invention was created in view of the existing circumstances as described above, and has cushioning properties, anti-slip performance, and heat insulation performance that are comfortable in addition to high water resistance and water permeability, In addition, it can be easily cleaned after use.For example, hot springs and bathing facilities in various places used by elderly people, and baths in bathing facilities in elderly nursing and care facilities such as special elderly nursing homes and day service centers, It is possible to give comfort to users, especially elderly people, in the bathroom, as well as in poolsides, outdoor tatami mats, and other places where water is used, as well as pure Japanese-style tatami mats. An object is to provide a water-permeable tatami mat structure.

In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, a frame frame 2 formed by frame-forming a synthetic resin or metal frame material 2a in a rectangular shape, and at least one of the upper and lower sides of the frame frame 2 A punching metal 3 having a plurality of through holes 3a, a biosheet 4 laid on the upper surface of the punching metal 3, and an upper surface of the biosheet 4 with a peripheral edge extending from the outer periphery of the frame material 2a to the lower surface side. It comprises a water permeable tatami mat 5 with a synthetic fiber lash that is fixed so as to be wound.
The water-permeable tatami table 5 is woven into an artificial lash made by arranging multifilaments of polypropylene fibers in the weft, a nylon twisted yarn through a twisted or tatami-shaped tatami as a tatami yarn, It can be formed by photocatalytic processing.
The frame frame 2 is formed by attaching a reinforcing frame 6 made of waste plastic material on the inner periphery, or is made of recycled plastic, synthetic resin material made of polypropylene or vinyl chloride, or stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass. It is possible to use any metal material.
Furthermore, the biosheet 4 can be formed using an antifungal / antibacterial sheet made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric.

In the water-permeable tatami mat structure according to the present invention configured as described above, the water-permeable tatami table 5 by the synthetic fiber rush is disposed on the upper surface of the punching metal 3 arranged on the frame frame 2 via the biosheet 4. In addition to high water resistance and water permeability, the peripheral edge of the water permeable tatami surface 5 is fixed so as to be wound from the outer periphery of the frame material 2a to a comfortable cushioning, anti-slip performance, and heat insulation. A water-permeable tatami mat structure with performance is formed.
The permeable tatami mat surface 5 in this permeable tatami mat structure allows hot water and the like existing on the surface to pass through, and further passes through the through holes 3a of the punching metal 3 to be discharged onto the floor surface P, and when used in hot water. Distribute hot and cold water inside and outside the tatami mat structure.
The water-permeable tatami surface 5 formed by photocatalytic processing forms a sanitary water-permeable tatami mat structure with antifungal and antibacterial functions.
The frame body 2 made of a synthetic resin material made of recycled plastic, polypropylene, or vinyl chloride forms a light and strong frame that is water resistant. The frame body 2 made of a metal material made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or brass forms a strong water-resistant frame.
The biosheet 4 using the antibacterial / antibacterial sheet suppresses the propagation of moths and bacteria in the bathtub Q, the bathroom, the poolside, the outdoor tatami use area, and other places with water.

  According to the present invention, in addition to high water resistance and water permeability, a tatami mat structure having a cushioning property, anti-slip performance, and heat insulation performance that is comfortable to sit on, and that can be easily cleaned after use is provided. it can. In addition, for example, hot springs and hot bath facilities in various places used by elderly people, bathing facilities in bathing facilities in special elderly nursing homes, day service centers, etc. Realize a Japanese-style space that is the same as when using pure Japanese-style tatami mats in other places with water, etc., and make it possible to give healing benefits and health promotion effects to users, especially elderly people .

  That is, this is because the present invention covers the upper surface of the biosheet 4 laid on the upper surface of the punching metal 3 disposed on the frame frame 2 with the water permeable tatami surface 5 made of synthetic fiber lash, and the peripheral portion is on the lower surface side from the outer periphery of the frame material 2a. This is because it is fixed so as to be wound around, so that it has high water resistance and water permeability in, for example, the bathtub Q, the bathroom, the poolside, the outdoor tatami area, and other places where water is used. It is possible to provide a pure Japanese-style tatami mat structure with a comfortable cushioning property, anti-slip performance, heat insulation performance, and the like. Moreover, even when installed in the bathroom due to the high water permeability and drainage performance of the water permeable tatami mat 5 with synthetic fiber rush, cleaning work after use can be easily performed.

  The water-permeable tatami table 5 is woven into an artificial lash made by arranging multifilaments of polypropylene fibers in the weft, a nylon twisted yarn through a twisted or tatami-shaped tatami as a tatami yarn, Since it has been subjected to photocatalytic processing, it has cushioning, anti-slip performance, and heat insulation performance that are comfortable to sit on, in addition to high water resistance, water permeability and drainage. Moreover, as a hygienic and water-permeable tatami mat structure with antibacterial and antibacterial functions provided by photocatalytic processing, for example, hot springs and bathing facilities in various places used by the elderly, as well as elderly care and care for special elderly care centers, day service centers, etc. It can be used with peace of mind in the bathtub Q, which is a bathing facility in the facility, in the bathroom, in addition to the poolside, outdoor tatami mats, and other places with water.

  In particular, when used outdoors, the water-permeable tatami surface 5 itself does not change color due to its strong ultraviolet-resistant function. Moreover, because of its thermal insulation performance, it always feels warm even when sitting directly in the bathroom in winter. Furthermore, since a safe material that does not contain harmful substances such as polypropylene and nylon is used, it is possible to use a high-pressure washer and a disinfectant such as hypochlorous acid in cleaning work after use.

  Since the frame frame 2 is provided with a reinforcing frame 6 made of waste plastic material on the inner periphery thereof, in addition to the reinforcement performance for the frame frame 2, the support capability for the punching metal 3 is improved and the cushion function of the permeable tatami surface 5 Will not be damaged. Moreover, it can be used for effective recycling of waste plastic materials, which has become an environmental problem in recent years.

  The frame body 2 is made of a recycled plastic, a synthetic resin material made of polypropylene or vinyl chloride, or a metal material made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or brass. Therefore, in the case of metal materials, a strong water-resistant framework can be formed, and in the case of using synthetic resin material made of recycled plastic or polypropylene or vinyl chloride, a water-resistant, light and durable framework can be obtained. Easy to configure. Thus, a water-permeable tatami mat structure according to the laying application can be manufactured. For example, when used in a floor surface P or a bathtub Q in a bathroom, both cases are not affected by hot water for a long time. Can be used.

  Biosheet 4 is made of anti-mold / antibacterial sheet made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric, so for example, hot springs and hot-spring facilities in various places used by elderly people, as well as elderly care and care facilities such as special elderly care centers and day service centers. Permeable tatami mat structure that suppresses the propagation of spiders and germs in the bathtub Q, which is a bathing facility in the countryside, in the bathroom, as well as in the poolside, outdoor tatami mats, and other places where water is available Can be easily manufactured.

  In addition, the code | symbol attached | subjected in the means for solving said subject, and each item of the effect of invention is for making easy reference with the part which shows each structure part described in drawing. The present invention is not limited to the structure and shape indicated by the reference numerals in the drawings.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure denotes a water-permeable tatami mat according to the present invention laid on a floor surface P such as in a bathtub Q, in a bathroom, in a poolside, in an outdoor tatami use place, or in a place with other various watering facilities. It is a tatami mat body with a floor structure. The tatami mat body 1 is generally composed of a frame frame 2, a punching metal 3, a bio sheet 4, a corner material, a water-permeable tatami surface 5 made of synthetic fiber rush, and the like.

  The tatami mat body 1 has a weight of 25.7 kg per square meter and a vertical and horizontal length of 900 mm × The weight at 1800 mm is set to 41.6 kg and the specific gravity is set to 1.8. In addition, the tatami mat body 1 in this example is formed in a rectangular plate shape with the same plane as that of a general tatami mat, but in addition, for example, a triangle, a trapezoid, a parallelogram, etc. You may produce so that it may become various shapes, such as.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tatami mat body 1 has a specific configuration, for example, a recycled plastic, a solid synthetic resin material made of polypropylene or vinyl chloride, or any of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. For example, a frame material 2a having a vertical section of about 20 mm and a horizontal width of about 50 mm, which is formed of a square pipe-shaped metal material or the like, is arranged so as to be a rectangular shape having a size equivalent to a general tatami mat. Then, the frame frame 2 is formed by fixing the joint portion between the frame members 2a by, for example, an instantaneous adhesive or a screw of a stainless steel screw, and the recycled waste is formed on the inner periphery of the frame frame 2. A plastic reinforcing frame 6 is attached. An appropriate number of frame members 2a for reinforcement are disposed in the middle of the frame body 2 in a bridged manner.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, sandwiched by punching metal 3 in which a plurality of through holes 3 a are provided in a rectangular thin plate made of stainless steel such as SUS having a thickness of about 2 mm from the upper and lower sides of the frame frame body 2, The frame frame 2 having a double-side punching metal structure is formed by fixing the peripheral edge of the punching metal 3 to the frame frame 2 by, for example, screwing with a stainless steel drill screw.

  In addition, a biosheet 4 made of an anti-mold / antibacterial sheet made of polypropylene non-woven fabric is laid on the upper surface of one punching metal 3 side, and the peripheral edge of the biosheet 4 in contact with the frame 2 is angled. The corner material 7 is fixed.

  Further, a water-permeable tatami surface 5 made of, for example, a synthetic fiber rush having a thickness of about 2 mm is placed on the biosheet 4, and a peripheral portion of the water-permeable tatami surface 5 is formed by, for example, a heat lever. Thus, the frame material 2a is wound from the outer periphery to the lower surface side, and then cut with, for example, a stainless steel tucker and fixed in a hot melt state. And the rubber leg 8 for mounting the tatami mat body 1 on the floor surface P in a slightly floating state is fixed to the lower surface side of the frame frame 2 at equal intervals.

  As the water permeable tatami mat surface 5 by this synthetic fiber rush, for example, artificial filaments formed by arranging multifilaments of thick polypropylene fibers having a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.3 mm colored in a yellow color or a bright yellow color in the weft. It is made up of lashes (artificial weeds) that are woven into a tatami-shaped or square-shaped tatami as a tatami yarn by passing a twisted nylon thread.

  And this water-permeable tatami table 5 is subjected to photocatalytic processing that decomposes organic matter into carbon dioxide and water by irradiating ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight or fluorescent lamps with titanium oxide as a catalyst, for example, Deodorant / antibacterial effect, self-cleaning effect, sick house syndrome prevention effect.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tatami mat body 1 is used by being submerged in hot water in the bathtub Q, only a part corresponding to the portion covering the drainage port of the tatami mat body 1 is processed, A lid tatami 9 with a lifting handle is formed, in which both the width and height are about 200 mm. By doing so, drought water can be easily drained by simply removing the lid tatami 9 without having to lift and move the entire tatami mat body 1 when handling a rubber plug for a drain outlet.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the tatami mat body 1 is formed of a frame frame 2 having a single-side punching metal structure as another configuration of the tatami mat body 1. That is, for example, a square bar-shaped frame material 2a having a cross section of about 20 mm in length and about 40 mm in width formed of a pure synthetic resin material made of recycled plastic, polypropylene, or vinyl chloride is as large as a general tatami mat. It arranges so that it may become a rectangular shape. The stepped portions 10 formed at both ends of the frame material 2a are joined together in a perpendicular direction, and the joined portions 10 are fixed by, for example, an instantaneous adhesive or a screw screw made of stainless steel or the like. The body 2 is formed.

  An appropriate number of frame members 2a for reinforcement are disposed in the middle of the frame body 2 in a bridged manner. At this time, the stepped portions 10 formed at both ends of the frame material 2a are fitted into a concave groove 11 formed at the center of the counterpart frame material 2a and fixed by screwing with screws such as an instantaneous adhesive or stainless steel.

  Then, on the upper side of the frame frame 2, for example, a punching metal 3 in which a plurality of through holes 3a are provided in a stainless steel rectangular thin plate such as SUS having a thickness of about 2 mm is laid. The frame frame body 2 having a single-side punching metal 3 structure is formed by being fixed to the frame frame body 2 by, for example, screwing with a stainless steel drill screw or a tapping screw. Thereafter, a water-permeable tatami surface 5 made of, for example, a synthetic fiber rush having a thickness of about 2 mm is placed thereon, and the peripheral portion of the water-permeable tatami surface 5 is formed with, for example, a corner portion formed by heat lever. After being wound from the outer periphery to the lower surface side, it is cut with, for example, a stainless steel tucker and fixed in a hot melt state.

  Next, an example of assembly and use of the best mode configured as described above will be described. First, the frame material 2a is arranged so as to be a rectangular shape having a size equivalent to a general tatami mat, and the joint portion between the frame materials 2a is fixed by, for example, an instantaneous adhesive or a screw of a stainless steel screw or the like. A frame frame 2 is formed. At this time, an appropriate number of frame members 2a are also attached to the middle of the frame frame 2 in a bridged form for reinforcement.

  Then, a reinforcing frame 6 made of waste plastic material is attached to the inner periphery of the frame frame 2 and then sandwiched by the punching metal 3 from the upper and lower sides of the frame frame 2 as shown in FIG. The part is fixed to the frame 2 by screwing or the like. As a result, the frame body 2 having a double-sided punching metal structure is formed.

  Further, a biosheet 4 is laid on the upper surface of one punching metal 3, and a peripheral portion of the biosheet 4 that is in contact with the frame frame 2 is fixed with a corner material 7, and then synthesized on the biosheet 4. The permeable mat surface 5 is covered with a fiber rush, and the frame material 2a is wound from the outer periphery of the frame material 2a to the lower surface side with a cornered portion of the permeable mat surface 5 and then cut with a stainless steel tucker and fixed in a hot melt state. The tatami mat body 1 is formed by fixing the rubber legs 8 to the lower surface side of the frame body 2 at regular intervals.

  Further, when the tatami mat body 1 is formed by the frame body 2 having a single-side punched metal structure, as shown in FIG. 4, first, the frame material 2a has a rectangular shape having a size equivalent to a general tatami mat. The stepped portions 10 formed at both ends of the frame material 2a are joined together in a perpendicular direction, and the joined portions 10 are fixed by, for example, instantaneous adhesive or screwing of stainless steel screws or the like. Thus, the frame body 2 is formed. Further, a frame material 2a for reinforcement is disposed in a bridged manner between the intermediate portions of the frame body 2. At this time, the stepped portions 10 formed at both ends of the frame material 2a may be fitted into the concave groove 11 formed at the center of the counterpart frame material 2a and fixed by screwing with screws such as an instantaneous adhesive or stainless steel.

  Next, the punching metal 3 is laid on the upper side of the frame frame 2, and the peripheral edge of the punching metal 3 is fixed to the frame frame 2 by screwing with, for example, a stainless steel drill screw or tapping screw. Then, a water-permeable mat surface 5 is covered with a synthetic fiber rush on the outer periphery of the frame material 2a so that the peripheral edge portion of the water-permeable mat surface 5 is wound from the outer periphery of the frame material 2a to the lower surface side with a squared portion formed by, for example, thermal leverage. Then, for example, it is cut with a stainless steel tucker and fixed in a hot melt state.

  When using the tatami mat main body 1 in the bathroom, as shown in FIG. 5, the tatami mat main body 1 is arranged on the floor surface P in the bathroom in a state of being laid in the same manner as a general tatami mat. At this time, the tatami mat body 1 is placed on the floor surface P in a state of being slightly floated by the rubber legs 8 on the lower surface, so that the lower surface side of the tatami mat body 1 is not immersed in water. At this time, the hot water that has passed through the water permeable mat 5 passes through the through hole 3a of the punching metal 3 and is discharged onto the floor surface P and flows toward the drain outlet.

  In addition, the tatami mat body 1 can be placed on the inner bottom of the bathtub Q. At this time, the tatami mat body 1 is set to have a specific gravity of 1.8, and therefore does not float by buoyancy. Moreover, since the water-permeable tatami surface 5 itself has outstanding water permeability, the weight is 40 kg depending on the amount of water absorbed when used in the hot water of the bathtub Q, thereby maintaining a stable standing state for a long time. It can be done.

  By using the tatami mat body 1 formed in this way, for example, in hot springs and hot-spring facilities in various places used by the elderly, as well as bathing facilities in elderly recreation and care facilities such as special elderly retirement centers and day service centers In addition, when an elderly person uses a bath, a fall accident in the bathroom is prevented in advance, and even if it falls, the cushioning property of the water-permeable tatami table 5 does not lead to a great accident.
