Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a bed rug that can maintain a hygienic condition through water vapor generated during perspiration during normal use while preventing external leakage of water. SOLUTION: It is constituted by using a moisture-permeable waterproof cloth having both moisture-permeable and waterproof properties, and has an upward inward fold 2 around the periphery for preventing lateral leakage.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed rug laid between a mattress and a sheet, and more particularly to a bed rug that prevents external leakage of moisture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to prepare for incontinence on a bed for bedridden elderly or physically handicapped persons, a vinyl sheet is laid on a mattress or a polyethylene film is laminated on a nonwoven fabric as a base material. They used disposable rugs with a different structure. The disposable rug absorbs moisture, perspiration, etc. in the non-woven fabric portion, and prevents the absorbed moisture from leaking downward with the polyethylene film.

[0003]

However, simply laying a vinyl sheet on a mattress as in the prior art described above, the vinyl sheet itself does not have moisture permeability (breathability), so it is easy to get stuffy when sweating and adversely affect the skin such as bedsores. There is a problem that excrement (urine) at the time of incontinence collected on the sheet easily falls off the bed.

In the above-mentioned conventional disposable rug, even though the base material of the nonwoven fabric itself has moisture permeability, since the polyethylene film has no moisture permeability, components such as sweat accumulate in the nonwoven fabric and emit an unpleasant odor. In addition, moisture is trapped in the non-woven fabric, and it becomes a breeding ground for the growth of live bacteria, which is not hygienic.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a bed rug that can maintain a sanitary condition through water vapor generated during perspiration during normal use while preventing external leakage of moisture.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above object of the present invention is achieved by using a moisture-permeable waterproof cloth having both moisture-permeable and waterproof properties, and including an upwardly inward fold around the periphery for preventing lateral leakage. This is achieved by a bed rug having

According to the bed rug according to the present invention, the moisture-permeable waterproof cloth having both moisture permeability and waterproofness allows comfortable and sanitary use by allowing water vapor such as perspiration and moisture to pass through. Keep it. On the other hand, by providing waterproofness, urine and the like during incontinence are prevented from spilling from the bed rug by the upward inward folds provided around the bed rug.

[0008] The bed rug can be provided with a batting, and the cloth on the lower surface surrounding the batting may be made of a general cloth.
Here, "general cloth" refers to cotton cloth, polyester cloth, etc.
Bedding means a cloth material commonly used.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a bed rug according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the bed rug 1, and FIG. 2 is a vertical front view of the bed rug 1. As shown in FIG.

The bed rug 1 is made of a moisture-permeable and waterproof cloth, and has an inward fold 2 for preventing lateral leakage on its peripheral surface.

As the moisture-permeable waterproof cloth, known cloth materials can be used. For example, DIMA (registered trademark) manufactured by Komatsu Seiren Co., Ltd., Entranto (registered trademark) manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., or GORE-TEX manufactured by Gore Corporation can be used. Examples can be given.

The folds 2 can be formed by folding the four sides around the inside upward, and the bonding areas 3 at the four corners of the bed rug 1 are bonded with an adhesive or the like so as not to spread outward. I have. The fold 2 may be formed integrally instead of bonding the four corners. Although the folds 2 are formed on only one surface in the illustrated example, the folds 2 may be formed on both surfaces to form a reversible bed rug.

The bed covering 1 may be provided with a batting 4 (FIG. 3). The bonding between the batting 4 and the moisture-permeable waterproof cloth can be sewn with a thread. At the time of sewing, in order to prevent the invasion of moisture from the seam, it is preferable to sew the area around the folds 2 by folding it around. The adhesion of the parts other than the surroundings can be obtained, for example, by sewing a thread in a small circular shape with a diameter of about 3 mm in a dotted manner (not shown). If the seams are fixed with resin, waterproof performance can be ensured. As the resin, a water-insoluble known material such as “Pique” manufactured by DuPont can be used. The cloth 5 on one side that wraps the batting 4 can be a general cloth, and the surface of the side of the moisture-permeable waterproof cloth is used face up. If it is not necessary, use the general cloth face up. You can do it. The cloth 5 on one side may be made of a moisture-permeable waterproof cloth and used as a reversible.

The bed rug 1 is usually laid between a mattress and a sheet. Since the bed rug 1 has moisture permeability, water vapor caused by perspiration or the like passes through the sheets and the bed rug 1, so that stuffiness can be prevented. Then, by preventing stuffiness, it is possible to prevent bedsores.

Even in the case of incontinence, the bed rug 1 is made of a moisture-permeable and waterproof material, so that it does not allow moisture to pass therethrough, and the folds 2 for preventing side leakage function like a wall of a packaging housing. In addition, it is possible to prevent excrement such as urine from spilling from the surroundings.

Further, since the bed rug 1 prevents penetration of liquid such as moisture, it can be used many times only by wiping urine and the like, and can be washed in a circle, so that it is economical.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the bed rug according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent stuffiness through steam during sweating and the like, and that excrement does not spill from the bed even during incontinence.
