Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet seat sheet provided on the upper surface of a toilet seat, and in particular, relates to a toilet seat sheet having a good touch and excellent quick-drying properties.

Toilet seats that are installed on the toilet seat are required to have good feel and quick dryness when seated, and the fibers stand on the base fabric in order to improve the comfort of the former. What was formed was considered.

  However, in the toilet seat sheet as described above, although a good touch can be obtained, it is not necessarily sufficient in terms of quick drying, for example, drying when wet or slow after washing However, it takes time and cannot be reused immediately.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a toilet seat sheet to be attached to the upper surface of the toilet seat, and is provided on the base fabric and formed on the base fabric so that a large number of fibers stand on one side of the base fabric. A toilet seat sheet comprising: a raised nap fiber group; and the fibers are formed of microfibers, and are provided on the opposite side of the napped fiber group of the base fabric, and mounting means for attaching the base fabric to the toilet seat. is there.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the toilet seat sheet of the first aspect, the microfiber has a shape in which a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction has no corners.

  According to the toilet seat sheet according to claim 1, the toilet seat sheet is attached to the upper surface of the toilet seat, and is provided on the base fabric and the base fabric, and a large number of fibers stand on one side of the base fabric. The raised fiber group formed as described above, and the fiber is formed of microfiber, provided on the opposite side of the raised fabric group of the base fabric, and mounting means for attaching the base fabric to the toilet seat. Therefore, when seated, the elasticity of the napped fibers group and the flexibility of the fine fibers of the microfiber can be combined to obtain a better touch, and the diameter of the microfiber that is the fiber is thin. The surface area per minute and fiber unit volume can be increased, and the quick drying property can be enhanced.

  According to invention of Claim 2, in addition to the effect of the toilet seat sheet of Claim 1, since the cross section perpendicular | vertical to a longitudinal direction is a shape which does not have a corner | angular part, a microfiber is irritating to skin. It can reduce and can obtain the still better touch.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 1-5, A is a toilet seat sheet | seat, and toilet seat sheet | seat A is attached to the upper surface of toilet seats b, such as a western style toilet bowl, and as shown in FIG. The fiber group 2 and the attachment means 3 are comprised.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the base fabric 1 is a member that is tufted with fibers 21 to be described later, holds the fibers 21, and becomes a structure of the toilet seat sheet A. A woven fabric or a non-woven fabric formed of natural fibers such as silk and hemp and synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and polypropylene is used.

  The raised fiber group 2 is provided on the above-described base fabric 1 and is formed so that a large number of fibers 21, 21,... Stand on one side of the base fabric 1. Is made of microfiber. This napped fiber group 2 is formed by a known technique using microfiber. For example, a tufted pile yarn is subjected to a known pile processing, and as shown in FIG. 3 W may be formed into a loop pile, or as shown in FIG. 3B, the tip of the formed Wanna W may be cut with a blade or the like to form a cut pile. It is more preferable to use a cut pile in that it is possible to prevent foreign matter from being caught on the portion 21a and preventing the microfiber itself from being damaged. By using a cut pile, for example, fraying and fluffing can be prevented due to repeated washing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the microfiber is used for the fiber 21 constituting the napped fiber group 2 has been described. However, as a fiber constituting a plain weave or a pattern knitting not having the napped fiber group 2, or a woven fabric. You may use not only as a fiber which comprises knitting but.

  By the way, the above-mentioned microfiber means one having a fineness of 1 denier (d) or less. These microfibers are made of synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyester, nylon, or the like, or fibers made by blending them, and are known (for example, microfibers described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-262588). In order to reduce irritation to the skin and obtain a good feel when seated on the toilet seat b, cross sections perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the microfiber are shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c). As described above, a shape having no corners is preferable, and in particular, a cross-sectional shape in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is preferably substantially circular (see FIG. 4C).

  The aforementioned attachment means 3 is provided on the opposite side of the raised fabric group 2 of the base fabric 1 by, for example, an adhesive, and attaches the base fabric 1 to the toilet seat b. Specifically, the attachment means 3 includes an adhesive member that adheres the base fabric 1 to the toilet seat b, an adhesive member that adheres to the toilet seat b, an adsorbent that is attached to the toilet seat b, or an toilet seat b. The string member etc. which are fastened and attached are mentioned, Of these, it is preferable to use the adsorbent described below.

  Here, the adsorbent will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the adsorbent 31 is provided, for example, by adhering to the base 311 and one surface of the base 311 with, for example, an adhesive, at least on the surface. And an adsorption layer 312 provided with a large number of pores p, p,... Having a vacuum adsorption force.

  The adsorbing layer 312 is formed by, for example, using a known technique and foaming a synthetic resin composition with a foaming agent to form pores p (for example, page 3 lower left column, second row of JP-A-3-7778). A synthetic resin emulsion containing an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide random copolymer described in the lower right column, line 17 of page 3 to page 3, foamed, applied and heat-treated), and presses toilet seat sheet A against toilet seat b By doing so, the air in the pores p is discharged, and the inside of these pores p becomes a negative pressure and an adsorption force is generated. The toilet seat A can be adsorbed to the toilet seat b by this adsorption force. According to this adsorbent 31, it can be easily attached to and detached from the toilet seat b, and can be used repeatedly many times if the adsorbing surface 312a is cleaned and kept clean.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the adsorbent 31 directly contacts the base material 311 and the base fabric 1, and a part or all of the contact surface is adhered with an adhesive. As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the periphery of the part to be cut simultaneously with the cutting of the toilet seat sheet A by the heated blade c with the welding sheet 4 interposed between the base material 311 and the base cloth 1 (The peripheral part of the toilet seat sheet A) may be bonded by heating.

The test methods and results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 of the present invention, and the quick-drying test are shown below.
[Example 1]
A napped fiber group is formed by cut pile processing using 100% polyester microfiber with a fineness of 0.4 denier on a polyester base fabric, and a synthetic resin composition on the opposite side of the napped fiber group of the base fabric The toilet seat sheet was produced by attaching the adsorbent obtained by foaming to a seat through a welding sheet.
[Comparative Example 1]
A toilet seat sheet was prepared by the same configuration and the same method as in Example 1 except that the fiber was made of 100% polyester and the fineness was 200 denier.

(Test method)
A test piece having a size of 10 cm × 10 cm was cut out from the toilet seat sheet of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and 20 cc of water was included in the napped fiber group of each test piece, and the temperature was 24 ° C. and the humidity was 40% for 6 hours. After drying, the mass of the test piece was measured to compare quick drying properties.

  As a result, for Example 1, the residual moisture content of the test piece was 1.5 g, while that of Comparative Example 1 was 2.6 g.
