Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a health implement capable of improving blood circulation and promoting health while greatly alleviating bodily pressure from Futon and ensuring freedom for roll-over or the like by supporting the weight of the Futon by a structure.SOLUTION: A support frame for bedding is an implement formed of a base bottom and a plurality of arch pipes. The arch pipes are linked through link holes arranged on the base bottom to form a dome-like space. The space is covered with a comforter to support the weight of the comforter. Accordingly, a user is released from the weight of Futon and can get good quality sleep in a space in which heat is retained. In addition, blood circulation is improved without pressure by Futon, leading to an advance in health.

Description

  By supporting the weight of the futon with a structure, the present invention greatly reduces the pressure on the body from the futon, improves the degree of freedom such as turning over and bending and stretching the limbs, and promotes and improves blood circulation throughout the body. It relates to technology that promotes health. In addition, by creating a space with excellent heat insulation, it is possible to suppress indoor heating and improve the economics of utility costs.

  In hospitals and the like, a “cradle” is used to keep warm for patients who have become weak after surgery or who cannot put a futon on the part of the disease. This instrument has a structure that is set inside the futon and lifts and supports the comforter with a grid-like metal pipe. In addition, even for healthy people, the feeling of pressure from the futons for winter protection in winter seems to be quite large. A device that controls the temperature with a heater while supporting the futon with an assembly-type frame has been proposed for the difficulty in turning over at bedtime due to the futon pressure and poor blood circulation at the end of the body due to pressure. (Refer patent document 1) Moreover, the instrument etc. which have the structure which connects a panel-shaped member and has the function to adjust the height and length of the space to sleep are proposed. (See Patent Document 2)

  Lifting covers used in hospitals and the like have a structure that lifts and supports a comforter, but the width of the applied comforter is not sufficient, and the gap with the mattress is easily left and right. For this reason, cold air enters the comforter and warm air flows out. Therefore, there is a problem in the heat retaining function unless a particularly large comforter or a plurality of comforters are used. In addition, there are also devices that have similar functions to the user's physiques that have been proposed so far, but there are many devices that can be adjusted according to the user's physique, but the shape of the device is often fixed after adjustment. There is a drawback that it is difficult to change the size and length of the instrument. In addition, the entrance to the sleeping space is narrowly limited by a structure that has been fixed, and daily sleeping and waking up operations are difficult. These instruments have many lattice-like structures made of metal or wood, are difficult to fold, and have a problem of storage in hospital facilities or at home due to their weight. Furthermore, higher quality sleep is required for stress and various diseases in modern society.

The above-described problems are solved by the invention described in each claim.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, by using the arch pipe, the comfortability at the time of sleeping in the heat insulation space is improved as compared with the conventionally proposed appliance. In particular, it is possible to firmly support the weight of the futon piled up in the winter with the arch structure, and the space itself is hardly shrunk by the futon pressure. Movements such as turning over in a stable sleeping space and bending and stretching of the limbs are free, and there is no pressure by the futon, so there are no elements that impede blood circulation. This can be expected to promote health.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the base portions placed on the left and right sides of the user make up for the width of the futon which is insufficient with the conventional lifting and unloading, and serve to widen the heat insulation space. Since the base material also has a function of blocking outside air to insulate, the heat insulation space can be secured. With this, you can keep warm enough with a single size comforter that you use everyday.

  The invention according to claim 1 is to have a structure that enables adjustment of the position and height of the arch portion. As an adjustment function tailored to the user's physique, position adjustment is made possible by selecting and moving connecting holes provided in a plurality of rows on the base. Also, the height can be adjusted by extending the arch length by a method that makes the arch pipe longer with connecting parts, or a method that allows the length to be freely changed by using a pipe device that expands and contracts with screws. The height can be accommodated. This makes it possible for the user to easily adjust the height of the shoulder and waist when turning over and to make contact with the arch pipe when the knee is bent. Can be created according to the physique.

  The invention according to claim 1 is to have a cross section of an appropriate angle (an angle of about 23 degrees from the perpendicular) so that the base portion has an inclination when the apparatus is installed in order to ensure a wide sleeping space. Compared to the case where the base is installed vertically, it is possible to secure a space on the sleeping mattress surface, and it does not damage the curve extending from the arch pipe, so even if you use a heavy futon, A space with a stable shape (kamaboko shape) can be formed.

  The invention according to claim 2 is that the arch pipe collapses due to the weight pressure of the futon during long-term use and causes deformation of the connecting hole of the base part, or the arch pipe with the weight of the futon is a hole at the bottom of the connecting hole. It corresponds to the deformation that deepens. In addition, when using the cup-shaped holder, the connection holes can be moved and the arch pipe can be easily removed when making fine adjustments according to the physique. Easy access to the futon.

  A health device that can maintain good blood circulation while sleeping by eliminating contact pressure between the body and the futon. The body is squeezed by stacking many futons, especially in winter, and this has an effective effect on poor blood circulation. In addition, it is possible to prevent the cold air from being directly applied to the skin during cooling in summer, which is also effective for cooling diseases.

  Even in the natural world, there are few wild animals that are in a normal state at bedtime under pressure. Even in the human body, the possibility of sleep released from futon pressure is great, and high-quality sleep is a disease that can be expected to recover by improving fatigue, improving physical performance, improving blood circulation (eg, coldness, gout) Can be expected to be effective.

      By having a simple adjustment function for the position and height of the arch pipe, it is easy to customize according to the user's physique, and contact with equipment that impairs comfort when turning over can be significantly reduced.

      Since the cup-shaped holder makes it easy to attach and detach the arch pipe, it is easy to get in and out of the sleeping space by removing the arch pipe closest to the head when getting up or sleeping.

  When removing and storing the instrument after it is no longer used, it can be disassembled by simply pulling out the base pair and the arch pipe. In addition, since the base, the arch pipe, and the cup holder can be configured with lightweight parts, they are excellent in terms of storage.

  Since it is possible to form a sleeping space with excellent heat retention, it is possible to suppress the use of indoor heating in winter and contribute to energy saving.

It is a perspective view of the instrument of this invention. The figure which looked at the state of appliance use from the user's overhead. The figure which looked at the state of appliance use from the side. Connecting parts for arch pipe extension Arch pipe with threaded telescopic pipe at both ends Cup-shaped holder for protecting connection holes Instrument variations Example of user's sleeping and getting up Example of base extension by joint structure

Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to examples.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the health appliance of this example has a structure in which a pair of base portions A and a plurality of arch pipes B are connected to form a sleeping space. Since there are a plurality of connection holes 1 in the base A on both sides, any number of arch pipes B can be connected as desired by the user, and their positions can be selected and installed while pursuing comfort.

  The base A is approximately 30 cm in height, approximately 10 cm in width, and has a shape close to a rectangular parallelepiped having a length similar to the height of the user, and has a structure in which each of the pair is inclined toward the user. The height of the base is not only for the purpose of supporting the arch pipe, but also secures a sleeping space even with a single size futon width, and the clearance with the mattress that tends to occur in the conventional take-off The purpose is to solve the problem of easy left and right. Regarding the setting of the width of the base part, the material to be used has different possibilities depending on the heat insulating property of the cold air in winter. Basically, materials such as wood, hard urethane, and hard polyfoam styrene that are lightweight but resistant to deformation and excellent in heat retention are used. Since the base A has such height, width, length and heat retention, it is possible to block the cold air entering from the both sides into the comforter and to secure a wide sleeping space.

  The base A has a function that can be extended by using the joint structure shown in the example of FIG. If it is a joint structure, it is also possible to secure the space of only the foot by dividing this base A and use it to partially reduce the weight of the futon by securing the space of the abdomen and chest .

  The arch pipe B is designed to be safe and not to be cold when the user touches it. A plastic or light metal with a resin coating is preferable, and the arch has a curve close to the circumference of a circle with a diameter of about 1 m to form a space suitable for a sleeping space.

  The arch pipe B is prepared with variations in length so that it can be adapted to the user's physique. In addition, a connecting part C is included as an accessory so that the extension of the length of the arch can be easily finely adjusted. The connecting part C in FIG. 4 is connected to the arch pipe B having a convex part 2 of about 3 cm on the main body and a concave part 3 inside the body part of about 5 cm. Ba in FIG. 3 is an example in which the arch pipe B is extended so that knee bending can be comfortably performed. Fig. 5 shows an example of using a pipe that can be extended and contracted with screws at both ends so that the length of the arch pipe can be changed.

  When assembling this device, the cup-shaped holder D (inner diameter 1 mm larger than the arch pipe diameter, outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the connecting hole 1) is inserted into the connecting hole 1 of the base A, and then the arch pipe B is inserted. . For the material, plastic made harder than the base A is appropriate. This cup-shaped holder D is used to protect the connection hole 1 from deformation. 1-a of FIG. 7 shows an example in which the upper part of the connection hole 1 has spread due to a lateral force, and 1-b shows a modification in which the bottom of the connection hole 1 has been deeply perforated by the weight of the futon.

  Through the cup-shaped holder D, the arch pipe B can be attached and detached smoothly. As shown in Fig. 8, it is easy to remove one or more arch pipes B near the user's head at bedtime or when getting up. Then, the user can go to sleep and get up by sliding the body into the bedding.

  When using air conditioning in the summer season, it is possible to prevent cold air from directly hitting the skin by simply placing a summer futon on the appliance, so that users who are not good at cooling can sleep comfortably.
