Description

  The present invention relates to an electric appliance used as a heating appliance at bedtime.

  There are kotatsu, bean paste, electric blanket, etc. as a heating device at bedtime, and small kotatsu of kotatsu is also used. These are selected according to individual preference, and electric blankets are divided into hanging blankets and mattress blankets. Some people only use the air conditioner or fan heater to warm the room, and do not use the heater especially at bedtime. These greatly affect the environment (room temperature), and heating equipment is indispensable when the room temperature is low.

  According to Patent Document 1, a structure in which a low-temperature burn prevention function is provided in a flat plate-shaped bowl is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 2 describes a radiant heating device using a heater. This can be said to be a general shape.

  However, although various heating appliances have been distributed in addition to air conditioners, most of them are kerosene fan heaters and electric reflective stoves. Naturally, it is convenient, but the price is low. In particular, the reflective type with the carbon heater that has emerged in recent years is a cheap product because of its high convenience.

  The heating equipment used at bedtime, that is, the heating equipment used in the futon, is mostly used for blankets, and a small number are also used. There are two types of flat type and mountain type, and each has its advantages. Although hot water bottles have different heat sources, they have the same effect even though the effects are the same.

  However, even if an anchor is used, the flat type anchor according to Patent Document 1 cannot directly warm the sole of the foot, but only around the heel. Also, in the case of a mountain type anchor, it is possible to warm it by touching the sole of the foot, but if the position of the foot changes, the effect cannot be obtained. This is the same for the flat plate type, that is, the effect is drastically reduced when the foot is separated from the tongue.

  Even when using an electric blanket, depending on the individual, the warmth of the feet is poor, and in particular, the soles of the feet remain cold. The importance of warming the soles of the feet is well known, and the ancient Japanese samurai culture tells us. That said, leaving a kotatsu in the futon will not leave it and heat efficiency will not be good. In the first place, the heater is not adaptable to all situations in one form, and each has advantages.

  Then, let it be a subject to provide the effective heater for warming a step at the time of going to bed.

  Heating the soles directly at bedtime is not possible with an electric blanket, and the temperature is low. In that case, it must be kept in contact with the feet and the temperature is not sufficient. Therefore, the sole of the foot is directly irradiated using a reflector as in the carbon heater. If this radiant type is close to the position of the foot, a heating effect can be obtained.

  The problem here is to eliminate the risk of fire and the like. First, as the shape of the radiation type, for example, even if the width is about 20 cm, the width of the irradiation range is about 50 cm, which can be said to be sufficiently large. Even if the height is too low, it is not effective because it is covered with a futon. What is considered is about 15 to 25 cm, which is close to a small rice cake.

  In addition, it is necessary to cover the upper part with a cover and to provide a guard such as a metal mesh on the front surface so that the futon and the heat source (carbon heater or the like) do not come into contact with each other.

  Carbon heaters are usually used at a distance, and most recently they are hot and cannot be used nearby. However, in the case of a radiant type, it is a form that is used most recently, and it is possible to use a heat source at a low temperature, that is, use a heat source that does not cause a fire. It is also important to have a structure against overturning, which will be described in detail in the section on the form.

  By providing this radiation type anchor at the foot, it is natural that it is more effective than the conventional type, and rather, an effect that cannot be obtained is obtained. It becomes a problem in the past. When the foot is away from the device, the radiation type is not a problem and is not actually used by touching the foot. Also, by not touching, low-temperature burns are less likely to occur, and the temperature of the instrument can be set very high. By this radiation type, it is possible to warm a wide range including reflected heat, and it is possible to feel the warmth from the entire circumference of the foot when entering the futon. In particular, the soles of the feet are the warmest.

  In addition, the radiation type can be warmed up immediately, that is, it can be turned on and enter the futon immediately, and it does not have to be turned on in advance like a traditional anchor or electric blanket.

  A form is demonstrated in detail with reference to FIGS. 1-10, a heat source (1) and a reflecting plate (2) are fixed to a main body (3), and a bedding stop cover (4) and a guard mesh (5) are provided. . When these are generally referred to as "anka", the "anchor" is fitted to the support rail (7) by the rail fitting base (6) and is slidable. The support rail (7) is connected to the base plate (9) by a joint portion, that is, a joint pipe (8a).

  If the said structure is demonstrated in detail separately, it will not be limited about heat source (1), but it can be said that it is so suitable that a radiation effect, such as a halogen heater, a carbon heater, and an infrared ray (far infrared ray) heater, is high. In particular, carbon heaters, which can be said to be the mainstream in recent years, are considered optimal for the embodiment according to the present invention because they are light in weight and low in cost. About a reflecting plate (2), it adapts to the magnitude | size, shape, etc. of a heat source, and can be said to follow a prior art.

  In the case of the bedding stop cover (4), since the present invention is a radiation type, it is important that no bedding is interposed between the beaker and the user's foot, and the bedding stop cover (4) of FIG. As shown, it needs to protrude forward. This also has the effect of preventing the bedding from getting close to the heat source. In addition, since the bedding stop cover (4) can be turned up and down, it can be easily applied to various beddings, and can correspond to the physique and preferences of the user.

  The guard mesh (5) is a well-known one, but it is desired to make it easy to attach and detach and to clean frequently in consideration of use in a dusty situation. In addition, a heat treatment such as making the material not hot when touched by a foot is required. The sliding function of the rail fitting base (6) and the support rail (7) is a well-known technique. This function corresponds to height difference and can be said to be essential. It is preferable to cover the upper surface of the support rail (7), that is, the portion touching the foot with a cloth or the like.

  In the joint portion (8), the joint pipe (8a) is fixed vertically to the base plate (9). As can be seen from FIG. 6, the joint pipe (8a) and the pipe hole (8b) provided in the support rail (7) are elliptical, and the support rail (7) is fitted from above. By fitting from above, regardless of the thickness of the bedclothes and mattresses of the bedding, it is installed in a state of being lightly in contact with the bedclothes. Further, since the joint pipe (8a) and the pipe hole (8b) are elliptical, the support rail (7), that is, the tongue itself is difficult to move to the left and right, and prevents the bed from falling from the bed. It will be.

  If the base plate (9) is thin, there is no particular problem, and it corresponds to the installation situation. For example, it is conceivable to use a base plate (9) having a different shape, such as a futon, a mattress, a floor, a tatami mat, a bed bottom plate or a net.

  As the next form, a rail is not used, that is, a stationary type similar to that of a conventional anchor, and will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. A heat source (1), a reflector (2), and a guard mesh (5) are combined with a cover. It prepares for a main body (10) and adheres to a stationary base plate (11). The shape and size are not limited and can be freely configured.

  However, an appropriate space is required in front of the car as in the case described above, and the height of the entire face is considered to be about 15 to 25 cm. Further, it is desirable that the rear side thereof be gently inclined as shown in FIG. This is a situation where, for example, if the front and back of the chin are the same height of 25 cm, a tall user can easily create a gap between the comforter and the mattress below the futon (in the toe direction). Therefore, the shape shown in FIG.

  The stationary base plate is for preventing the tilting of the base plate and conforms to the size and weight of the base plate. Moreover, it is preferable to coat | cover the upper surface which is easy to touch skin with cloth etc.

  Next, when using two people at the same time, for example, when using two people in a double bed, or when sleeping on the same futon as a parent and child, a wide type (Fig. 10) is provided as a form corresponding to such a situation. To do. This is not particularly problematic and the heat source (1) need not be particularly large. It is possible to irradiate a slightly wider space by curving the reflector (2) in a convex shape.

  Lastly, as an attached function, for safety reasons, when the device is tilted or falls, it has a function that shuts off the power supply that is currently used. For example, it is preferable to automatically return to the inside after 30 minutes. Also, it is not necessary to fix the power cord, and it can be said that it is excellent in cost and convenience (moving) in the same manner as in the past. Also, as a means of fire prevention, instead of the guard mesh (5), a transparent heat-resistant glass is used, and the heat source (1) and the outside are shut off to prevent ingress of dust and fire without contact with bedding. Can be prevented.
