Description

  The present disclosure relates to a sofa cover covering a sofa having a seating surface, a backrest, and an armrest.

  Conventionally, a sofa cover covering the sofa is known. By covering the sofa with the sofa cover, dirt and pain on the sofa are suppressed. In addition, the user can change the appearance of the sofa to a desired appearance by using the sofa cover.

  However, when a user uses a sofa covered with a sofa cover, the sofa cover may be displaced. Although it is possible to push the sofa cover into the gap between the seating surface and the backrest and between the seating surface and the armrest, it is possible to use the sofa cover only by pushing a part of the sofa cover into the gap. In many cases, the cover easily comes out of the gap.

  The sofa cover described in Patent Document 1 includes a stretchable cylindrical band having rubber on the back side of the cover body. A stopper member having a large number of irregularities on the outer peripheral surface is attached to the cylindrical band. The stopper member attached to the cylindrical band is inserted into the gap of the sofa, so that the sofa cover is prevented from coming out of the gap.

JP 2017-6442 A

  The sofa cover of Patent Document 1 has a complicated structure because it is necessary to provide a stretchable cylindrical band having rubber on the back side. In addition, the user must always attach the stopper member to the cylindrical band from the back side of the sofa cover, and cannot attach the stopper member from the front side. Therefore, the work of mounting the stopper member can be complicated. Furthermore, the user may want to use the sofa cover upside down (that is, when the user wants to use it as reversible). However, when the front and back sides of the sofa cover of Patent Document 1 are used upside down, the outer peripheral surface of the stopper member does not directly contact the surface of the sofa, so that the stopper member can easily come out of the gap of the sofa. Therefore, the sofa cover of Patent Document 1 is not suitable for use as a reversible.

  A typical object of the present disclosure is to provide a sofa cover that can solve at least one of the problems of the prior art and can be used more appropriately.

  A sofa cover provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a seat surface on which a user sits, a backrest extending upward from a rear portion of the seat surface, and an armrest extending upward from each of the left and right sides of the seat surface. A sofa cover that covers the sofa, and includes a holding portion that holds a columnar or cylindrical retaining member, the retaining portion includes a through-hole penetrating the body of the sofa cover, and the retaining member is It is hold | maintained at the said holding | maintenance part by inserting in the said through-hole.

  The sofa cover in the present disclosure has a simple structure and can be used more appropriately.

<Overview>
The sofa cover illustrated in this disclosure covers a sofa with a seating surface, a backrest, and an armrest. The sofa cover is provided with a holding portion for holding a columnar or cylindrical retaining member. The holding part includes a through hole that penetrates the main body of the sofa cover. The retaining member is held by the holding portion by being inserted into the through hole.

  The sofa cover according to the present disclosure can hold the retaining member with a simple configuration. Further, the user can attach the retaining member to the holding portion from either the front side or the back side of the sofa cover. Furthermore, even if the retaining member is attached to the holding portion from either the front surface side or the back surface side, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the retaining member is exposed on the back surface side of the sofa cover. Therefore, the user can also use the sofa cover according to the present disclosure as reversible.

  One holding part may be provided with an even number of through holes. One retaining member may be held by the holding portion by being inserted into an even number of through holes. In this case, the holding portion can hold the columnar or cylindrical retaining member symmetrically about the vicinity of the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the retaining member is stably held as compared with the case where one retaining member is held by the odd number of through holes.

  One holding part may hold one retaining member by two through holes. In this case, the number of through holes for holding the retaining members symmetrically is minimized. Therefore, the user can easily attach the retaining member to the holding portion as compared with the case where one retaining member is inserted into four or more even number of through holes.

  However, the number of through holes provided in one holding part can be changed as appropriate. For example, one holding part may include four or more even number of through holes. Even in this case, the retaining member is stably held. One retaining member may be held by being inserted into an odd number (for example, one) of through holes.

  The through hole may be a linear notch formed in the main body of the sofa cover. In this case, since the through hole is not conspicuous, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the beauty of the sofa cover due to the through hole.

  The shape of the through hole may correspond to the shape of the cross section perpendicular to the axis in the columnar or cylindrical retaining member. In this case, the user can more easily insert the retaining member into the through hole.

  Note that the cross-sectional shape of the retaining member and the shape of the through hole do not need to be completely the same. For example, when the retaining member is columnar or cylindrical, the shape of the through hole may be circular or elliptical. When the retaining member is a regular quadrangular prism, the shape of the through hole may be a square or a rectangle. Further, the cross-sectional area of the retaining member and the cross-sectional area of the through hole do not need to be completely matched.

  The sofa cover may further include a reinforcing portion that reinforces the edge of the through hole. In this case, a decrease in the strength of the sofa cover body around the through hole is appropriately suppressed.

  The reinforcing portion may be formed by over stitching or false stitching. In this case, the sofa cover can be easily washed as compared with the case where the reinforcing portion is formed of metal or the like. Moreover, the increase in manufacturing cost is also suppressed.

  It should be noted that a specific method of overlock stitching or false stitching can be selected as appropriate. For example, a chrysanthemum hole may be formed by over stitching. In this case, the strength of the through hole is further increased.

  The reinforcing portion may be formed of at least one of metal, rubber, and resin. In this case, the strength of the through hole is appropriately increased. Further, since the through hole is reinforced only by mounting the eyelet member, the manufacture is easy.

  At least one of the color and the design of the reinforcing portion and the sofa cover body around the through hole may be different. In this case, the user can easily grasp the position of the through hole as compared with the case where the color and design of the reinforcing portion and the sofa cover main body are the same. Therefore, the user can more easily attach the retaining member to the holding portion. In addition, since a reinforcement part is inserted in the clearance gap between sofas with a retaining member, the beauty of a sofa is not impaired by a reinforcement part at the time of use of a sofa cover.

  However, the color and design of the reinforcing portion and the sofa cover body may be the same. In this case, even when the sofa cover is not fixed to the sofa using the holding portion and the retaining member, it is possible to prevent the aesthetics of the sofa from being damaged by the through hole.

  The front and back surfaces of the sofa cover main body may be different in color and / or design. According to the sofa cover of the present disclosure, even when either the front surface or the back surface is used as the front side, the sofa cover is prevented from being displaced by the holding portion and the retaining member. Therefore, the user can appropriately use the sofa cover while keeping the favorite color and design side face up (that is, as reversible).

  However, the sofa cover may not be used as a reversible. Even in this case, the user can easily attach the retaining member to the holding portion.

  The sofa cover may include a retaining member. The retaining member may include an anti-slip portion on the outer peripheral surface that improves the frictional force against the surface of the sofa. As described above, even if the retaining member is attached to the holding portion from either the front surface side or the back surface side, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the retaining member is exposed on the back surface side of the sofa cover. Therefore, by providing the anti-slip portion on the outer peripheral surface of the retaining member, the retaining member comes out from the gap of the sofa even when the retaining member is attached to the holding portion from either the front surface side or the back surface side. The possibility is further reduced.

  In addition, the specific structure of a non-slip | skid part can be selected suitably. For example, the anti-slip portion may be a number of irregularities. Further, the anti-slip portion may be made of a material having a high frictional force against the surface of the sofa (for example, foaming resin or rubber).

<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the lower left side of FIG. 1 is the front side of the sofa cover 1 and the sofa 50, the upper right side of the page is the rear side of the sofa cover 1 and the sofa 50, the upper left side of the page is the right side of the sofa cover 1 and the sofa 50, and the right side of the page. The lower side is the left side of the sofa cover 1 and the sofa 50.

  With reference to FIG. 1, an example of the structure of the sofa 50 which can be covered with the sofa cover 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The sofa 50 includes a seat surface 51, a backrest 52, a right armrest 53R, and a left armrest 53L. The seating surface 51 is a part where the user sits and supports the user from below. The backrest 52 is a portion extending upward from the rear portion of the seating surface 51 and supports the user from the rear. The right armrest 53R and the left armrest 53L (sometimes collectively referred to as “armrests 53R, 53L”) extend upward from each of the left and right sides of the seat surface 51.

  A gap 55 is formed between the seat surface 51 and the backrest 52. The gap 55 extends in the left-right direction of the sofa 50. A gap 56R is formed between the seat surface 51 and the right armrest 53R. Further, a gap 56L is formed between the seat surface 51 and the left armrest 53L. The gap 56R and the gap 56L extend in the front-rear direction of the sofa 50.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the schematic structure of the sofa cover 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The main body of the sofa cover 1 of the present embodiment is formed of a stretchable fabric (for example, a fabric made of polyester fiber or polyurethane fiber). However, at least a part of the main body of the sofa cover 1 may be formed of a material having low stretchability. The sofa cover 1 of the present embodiment includes a seat surface cover portion 2, a backrest cover portion 3, a right armrest cover portion 4R, and a left armrest cover portion 4L.

  The seat surface cover 2 covers the upper surface of the seat surface 51 of the sofa 50. The backrest cover 3 covers at least the front surface of the backrest 52 of the sofa 50. Specifically, the backrest cover portion 3 of the present embodiment can cover the front, upper surface, rear surface, and upper portions of the left and right side surfaces of the backrest 52. The right armrest cover portion 4R covers at least the inside (left side) side surface of the right armrest 53R of the sofa 50. Specifically, the right armrest cover 4R of the present embodiment can cover the inner surface, the outer surface, the upper surface, the front surface, and the rear surface of the right armrest 53R. The left armrest cover portion 4L covers at least the inside (right side) side surface of the left armrest 53L of the sofa 50. Specifically, the left armrest cover 4L of the present embodiment can cover the inner surface, the outer surface, the upper surface, the front surface, and the rear surface of the left armrest 53L. As described above, the sofa cover 1 of the present embodiment can cover the outer periphery excluding the bottom surface of the sofa 50 by the seat surface cover portion 2, the backrest cover portion 3, the right armrest cover portion 4R, and the left armrest cover portion 4L. it can.

  At least one of color and design is different between the front surface and the back surface of the main body of the sofa cover 1. Therefore, the user can put the sofa cover 1 on the sofa 50 with the surface of the favorite color and design of the front and back surfaces being the front side. That is, the sofa cover of this embodiment can be used as a reversible. Furthermore, although details will be described later, according to the present embodiment, the slippage of the sofa cover 1 is appropriately suppressed by the retaining member 20 (see FIG. 2) even when either the front surface or the back surface is used as the front side. .

  In the vicinity of the lower end portion of the sofa cover 1, a contraction portion 8 is provided over the entire circumference. For example, rubber or the like can be used for the contraction portion 8. When the sofa cover 1 is attached to the sofa 50, the lower end portion of the sofa cover 1 contracts inward by the contracting portion 8. As a result, the appearance of the sofa cover 1 attached to the sofa 50 is improved.

  The sofa cover 1 includes a holding portion 10 that holds a retaining member 20 (see FIG. 2) at the center of the main body. Specifically, the sofa cover 1 includes a connection portion 5 between the seat surface cover portion 2 and the backrest cover portion 3, a connection portion 6R between the seat surface cover portion 2 and the right armrest cover portion 4R, and a seat surface cover portion 2 and a left armrest cover. The holding part 10 is provided in at least one of the connection parts 6L of the part 4L. The holding part 10 holds the retaining member 20 (see FIG. 2). As an example, the sofa cover 1 of the present embodiment includes three holding portions 10 in the connection portion 5 between the seat surface cover portion 2 and the backrest cover portion 3. Further, the sofa cover 1 includes one holding portion 10 in each of the connection portions 6R and 6L of the seat cover portion 2 and the left and right armrest cover portions 4R and 4L (in FIG. 1, in the left connection portion 6L). The illustration of the holding unit 10 is omitted). Details of the holding unit 10 will be described later.

  An example of a retaining member will be described with reference to FIG. The shape of the retaining member 20 of the present embodiment is a straight cylindrical shape. However, the shape of the retaining member can be changed. For example, the retaining member may be prismatic (polygonal prism such as triangular prism or quadrangular prism). Further, the retaining member may be cylindrical (for example, cylindrical, rectangular tube, etc.). When the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axis of the retaining member is a trapezoidal shape or a triangular shape, the retaining member is more difficult to come out from the gaps 55, 56 </ b> R, 56 </ b> L of the sofa 50. Further, the retaining member may be bent instead of a straight shape. The axial length of the retaining member 20 is desirably 10 cm to 20 cm. In this embodiment, the axial length of the retaining member 20 is about 15 cm.

  The retaining member 20 of the present embodiment includes a core portion 21 and an outer peripheral portion 22. The core portion 21 is a columnar member formed of a foamable resin such as sponge. The outer peripheral portion 22 is formed of a foamable resin having a higher density than the core portion 21 and covers the outer peripheral surface of the core portion 21.

  The retaining member 20 of the present embodiment includes an anti-slip portion 23 that increases the frictional force against the surface of the sofa 50 on the outer peripheral surface. As an example, the anti-slip | skid part 23 in this embodiment is raising the frictional force by providing many unevenness | corrugations formed in the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral part 22. As shown in FIG. However, it is possible to change the configuration of the anti-slip portion. For example, the anti-slip portion may be configured by using a material (rubber or the like) having a high frictional force as the material of the outer peripheral portion of the retaining member.

  With reference to FIGS. 3-5, the holding | maintenance part 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the holding unit 10 includes a through hole 12 that penetrates the front and back of the main body of the sofa cover 1. The retaining member 20 (see FIG. 2) is held by the holding portion 10 by being inserted into the through hole 12. In the present embodiment, one holding unit 10 includes two through holes 12. One retaining member 20 is held by each holding portion 10 by being inserted into two through holes 12 included in one holding portion 10. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the holding portion 10 of the present embodiment can hold the retaining member 20 substantially symmetrically around the vicinity of the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the retaining member 20 is stably held as compared with the case where one retaining member 20 is retained by the odd number of through holes 12. However, as described above, it is also possible to change the number of through holes 12 included in one holding unit 10.

  The through hole 12 of the present embodiment is a linear cut formed in the main body of the sofa cover 1. Therefore, the through-hole 12 is less conspicuous compared with the case where the through-hole of another shape is provided. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a through-hole 12 that is a linear cut is formed so as to intersect the linear connection portion 5 that connects the seat cover portion 2 and the backrest cover portion 3. Therefore, the user can easily insert the retaining member 20 into the plurality of (two in this embodiment) through-holes 12. In addition, although not shown in figure, also in the connection parts 6R and 6L of the seat surface cover part 2 and the armrest cover parts 4R and 4L, the through hole 12 intersects with the straight connection parts 6R and 6L perpendicularly. Is formed.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a reinforcing portion 14 that reinforces the edge of the through hole 12 is provided in each through hole 12. Therefore, a decrease in strength of the main body of the sofa cover 1 around the through hole 12 is appropriately suppressed.

  The reinforcement part 14 of this embodiment is formed by overlock stitching. Therefore, the sofa cover 1 can be easily washed, and an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed. In addition, when providing the reinforcement part 14, it is also possible to change the formation method of the reinforcement part 14. FIG. For example, the reinforcement part 14 may be formed by a lace stitch or the like. Further, as will be described later, the reinforcing portion 14 may be formed of rubber or the like.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, at least one of a color and a design differs in the reinforcement part 14 and the main body of the sofa cover 1 around the through-hole 12. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the position of the through hole 12. Since the reinforcing portion 14 is inserted into the gaps 55, 56R, and 56L (see FIG. 1) of the sofa 50 together with the retaining member 20, the aesthetic feeling is not impaired by the reinforcing portion 14 when the sofa cover 1 is used.

  With reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the usage method of the sofa cover 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, the user inserts the retaining member 20 into each of the holding portions 10 by inserting the retaining members 20 into the two through holes 12 of the respective retaining portions 10. Next, the user inserts the retaining member 20 attached to the holding unit 10 into the gaps 55, 56R, 56L (see FIG. 1) of the sofa 50. As a result, the displacement of the sofa cover 1 is appropriately suppressed.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the state in which the user attaches the retaining member 20 to the holding portion 10 from the back surface B side of the main body as viewed from the back surface B side. As shown in FIG. 4, when the retaining member 20 is attached to the holding unit 10 from the back surface B side, both longitudinal ends of the retaining member 20 are exposed to the back surface B side. When the retaining member 20 is inserted into the gaps 55, 56 </ b> R, 56 </ b> L of the sofa 50, the slip preventing portions 23 (see FIG. 2) at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the retaining member 20 exposed on the back surface B side To touch. As a result, the displacement of the sofa cover 1 is appropriately suppressed.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the state in which the user mounts the retaining member 20 on the holding unit 10 from the front surface side of the main body as viewed from the back surface B side. As shown in FIG. 5, when the retaining member 20 is attached to the holding portion 20 from the front surface side, the central portion of the retaining member 20 is exposed to the back surface B side. When the retaining member 20 is inserted into the gaps 55, 56 </ b> R, 56 </ b> L of the sofa 50, the non-slip portion 23 (see FIG. 2) at the center of the retaining member 20 exposed on the back B side contacts the surface of the sofa 50. To do.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when the retaining member 20 is attached to the holding unit 10 from either the front surface side or the back surface side of the sofa cover 1, the outer peripheral surface (that is, the retaining member 20) A part of the non-slip portion 23) contacts the surface of the sofa 50. Therefore, the attaching operation of the retaining member 20 to the holding part 10 is very simple. The user can also use the sofa cover 1 as reversible.

  In addition, when providing the two through-holes 12 in one holding | maintenance part 10, it is desirable to determine the space | interval of the two through-holes 12 according to the length of the axial direction of the retaining member 20. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, when the length of the retaining member 20 in the axial direction is L, the interval between the two through holes 12 is determined to be 1/3 or more and 2/3 or less of L. Therefore, even when the retaining member 20 is attached to the holding portion 10 from either the front surface side or the back surface side of the sofa cover 1, the contact area between the slip preventing portion 23 of the retaining member 20 and the surface of the sofa 50 is small. Secured.

<Modification>
A modification of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the shape of the through hole 32 provided in the holding portion 30 corresponds to the shape of a cross section perpendicular to the axis in the columnar or cylindrical retaining member 20 (see FIG. 2). Specifically, since the cross-sectional shape of the retaining member 20 illustrated in FIG. 2 is circular, the shape of the through hole 32 is also formed in a circular shape corresponding to the sectional shape of the retaining member 20. Therefore, the user can more easily insert the retaining member 20 into the through hole 32.

  Moreover, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the reinforcement part 34 which reinforces the edge part of the through-hole 32 is formed with the metal. Specifically, each of the two members of the eyelet fitting formed in a shape that engages with each other is fitted from both the front surface side and the back surface side of the through hole 32, thereby forming the reinforcing portion 34. As a result, the strength around the through hole 32 is appropriately increased.

  Note that the material of the reinforcing portion 34 can be changed. For example, the reinforcing portion 34 may be made of resin or rubber. In this case, the reinforcing portion 34 may be formed by a eyelet member made of resin or rubber. Further, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the reinforcing portion 34 may be formed by overlock stitching or false stitching. As an example, the reinforcing portion 34 may be a chrysanthemum hole formed by over stitching. By using the chrysanthemum hole as the reinforcing portion 34, the strength around the through hole 32 is appropriately increased, and the sofa cover 1 can be easily washed. It is also easy to improve the aesthetics by devising the design of chrysanthemums.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, at least one of the color and the design is different between the reinforcing portion 34 and the main body of the sofa cover 1 around the through hole 32. Since the details are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
