【Example】

 Next, an example will be described in order to further clarify the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mattress 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views of mattress bodies 20 and 30 which constitute the mattress 100.

The mattress 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a mattress for infants, and the mattress main bodies 20 and 30 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 constituting the mattress have a width of 60 to 90 cm, a length of 110 to 150 cm, and a thickness. Is 2 to 5 cm. However, it goes without saying that it may have other dimensions.

The mattress main body 20 shown in FIG. 2 is formed by connecting two small mats 21 and 22 so as to be foldable via a fold line 26 in the width direction. It has matte pieces 23, 23 made of a hard material. The fold line 26 is formed by connecting one edge of the lower surfaces of the small mats 21 and 22 to each other, and the upper edge is opened to form a cut.

Female hook-and-loop fasteners 24, 24 corresponding to the first hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to one longitudinal end of the upper surface 25 of the small mats 21, 22. On the other hand, the mattress main body 30 shown in FIG. 3 has two small mats 31 and 32 foldably connected to each other through a fold line 36 in the width direction, and has a mat piece similar to that of the mattress main body 20 inside. The fold 36 is formed by interconnecting one edge on the lower surface of the small mats 31, 32, and the upper edge is opened to form a cut.

Band-shaped male surface fasteners 33, 34 corresponding to the second surface fasteners are attached to one longitudinal end portion of the upper surface 35 of the small mats 31, 32. The male surface fasteners 33, 34 can be connected to the respective female surface fasteners 24, 24 shown in FIG.

Although the small mat ends of the folds 26 and 36 are emphasized in the drawing for the sake of clarity, it is desirable that the gap between the small mats is as small as possible. Of course, it may be vertical. Also, in the above-mentioned case, the mat pieces 23, 23 are independent and separate, and each mat piece is covered by the cover connected at the fold, but the mat pieces 23, 23 are directly connected at their lower end portions. In this case, the mattress body may be entirely covered with the cover.

Next, a method of using the mattress 100 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 shows a case in which the mattress 100 is spread and used for a large amount, for example, used as a play mat for an infant to play on. In the mattress 100 of FIG. 1, the mattress body 20 and the mattress body 30 are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other so that the female surface fasteners 24, 24 and the male surface fasteners 33, 34 are adjacent to each other. To do. By connecting the female surface fasteners 24, 24 and the male surface fasteners 33, 34, the mattress bodies 20, 30 are connected.

However, FIG. 1 shows a state where the female surface fastener 24 of the small mat 22 and the male surface fastener 34 of the small mat 32 are disconnected. When the mattress 100 is used as a baby bed mattress, the mattress 100 passing through the connected hook-and-loop fastener is folded in two with the centerline 80 as an axis, and the mattress bodies 20 and 30 are folded so that they overlap each other. Set it in the crib circle and use it.

However, it goes without saying that it may be used as it is without being set in the circle of the crib. Further, when not set in the circle, the line passing through the folds 26 and 36 may be used as an axis line to fold in a direction in which the notch located on the opposite side of the folds 26 and 36 opens.

For simple use such as infant nap, the male surface fasteners 33, 34 are disconnected from the female surface fasteners 24, 24 to separate the mattress bodies 20 and 30. , Each may be used. For example, one mattress body 20 or 30 can be used for a nap in a kindergarten or the like. It is light and easy to carry. Since the mattress body is made of a relatively hard material, you can use it safely without having to worry about breathing when you lie on your stomach.

At the time of storage, the male surface fastener 33 or 34 on one side is disconnected from the female surface fastener 24, and the mattress 100 is folded in two steps with the center line 80 of the mattress 100 passing through the surface fastener as the axis. After that, by further folding in the direction in which the cuts located on the opposite side of the folds 26 and 36 are opened, it is possible to fold in four steps as shown in FIG.

Further, the male surface fasteners 33, 34 and the female surface fasteners 24, 24 are disconnected from each other and separated into the mattress bodies 20 and 30, and the mattress bodies 20 and 30 are folds 26, It is also possible to fold it so that the notch located on the opposite side of 36 opens. The separated mattress bodies 20 and 30 can be folded in two stages as shown in FIG.

If the width of the mattress bodies 20 and 30 is half the size described above, that is, half the width of an ordinary infant mattress, the mattress 100 is used as shown in FIG. It can be used as a mattress for baby beds by connecting two mattress bodies to. When not in use, the folded mattress bodies can be halved in size by folding them as shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 by the above-mentioned method. Especially convenient.

The female surface fastener 24 and the male surface fasteners 33 and 34 may be elongated in a strip shape as shown in FIG. 1, but a plurality of short female surface fasteners and a plurality of short male surface fasteners are used for each mattress. They may be provided at predetermined intervals at the upper end of the main body and connected to each other.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the mattress 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The mattress 200 shown in FIG. 6 uses two mattress bodies 20 of the first embodiment. Two mattress bodies 20 are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other, and the respective female surface fasteners 24 are adjacent to each other. To do so. Then, a separately prepared strip-shaped male surface fastener 60 is arranged at a position straddling the respective female surface fasteners 24 of two adjacent small mats 21 and 22, and the strip-shaped male surface fasteners 60 and 60 and the respective female surface fasteners are arranged. The two mattress bodies 20, 20 are connected by connecting with the fastener 24.

However, in FIG. 6, a part of the male surface fastener 60 is omitted. Further, since the male surface fastener 60 tends to be lost if it is a separate body, one end of the male surface fastener 60 may be sewn to one mattress body 20 in order to avoid this.

The other usage and storage methods of the mattress 200 of the embodiment are the same as those of the mattress 100. FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a mattress 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 shows a case where the mattress 300 is used as a play mat in a large size, for example, the width is 120 to 180 cm, the length is 110 to 150 cm, and the thickness is 2 to 5 cm.

However, it goes without saying that it may have other dimensions. The mattress 300 includes a first mattress body in which a small mat 41 and a small mat 44 are foldably connected to each other via a fold 47 in the width direction, and the small mat 42 and the small mat 43 are folds 49 in the width direction. It is formed by connecting the second mattress main body, which is foldably connected via the foldable surface, via the folds 48 in the longitudinal direction. Further, the small mat 43 and the small mat 44 are separated by a separating section 46.

It should be noted that each small mat has a mat piece 45 made of a relatively hard material, which is a so-called hard cloth, inside. The folds 47 and 49 of the first and second mattress bodies are formed by interconnecting one edge on the lower surface of each of the small mat 41 and the small mat 44, and the small mat 42 and the small mat 43, respectively. The upper edge of each is open to form a cut. The fold 48 in the lengthwise direction is formed by connecting one edge on the upper surfaces of the small mat 41 and the small mat 42 to each other. The lower edge located on the opposite side of the fold 48 is open to form a cut.

Here, in the mattress 300 of the embodiment, at the ends of the upper surfaces 75 of the small mat 43 and the small mat 44 adjacent to each other, the small mat 43 has a female surface fastener 50 corresponding to the first surface fastener. Attached to the small mat 44 is a band-shaped male surface fastener 51 corresponding to the second surface fastener.

Although the inclination of the small mat ends of the folds 47, 48, 49 is emphasized for clarity in the drawing, it is desirable that the gap between the small mats be as small as possible. Of course, the end of the small mat may be vertical.

Next, a method of using the mattress 300 of this embodiment will be described. When the mattress 300 is used in a large size as a play mat, the female hook-and-loop fastener 50 of the small mat 43 and the male hook-and-loop fastener 51 of the small mat 44 which are adjacent to each other at the separating portion 46 are connected to each other. The mats 43 and 44 are connected and used.

However, FIG. 7 shows a state where the female surface fastener 50 of the small mat 43 and the male surface fastener 51 of the small mat 44 are disconnected. When the mattress for a baby bed is used, the mattress 300 without removing the hook-and-loop fastener is placed on the opposite side of the fold 48 about the axis extending in the lengthwise direction as the centerline shown in FIG. Fold it in the direction in which the notch opens and set it in the crib circle for use.

However, it is a matter of course that it may be used as it is without being set in the circle of the crib. Further, when not set in the circle, it may be folded and used in the direction in which the notch located on the opposite side of the folds 47 and 49 opens around the axis extending in the width direction.

At the time of storage, the male surface fastener 51 and the female surface fastener 50 are disconnected, folded in the direction in which the notch located on the opposite side of the fold 48 opens, and further folded 47, 4. By folding in the direction in which the notch located on the opposite side of 9 opens, it can be folded in four steps as shown in FIG. 4, and can be stored as it is in a push-in or the like.

In the above example, the mattress having a relatively large size that can be used as a play mat when unfolded has been described, but the mattress has a size similar to that of a normal baby bed. In this case, by folding in the same manner as described above and folding it in four steps as shown in Fig. 4, it is possible to make it more compact than before, and it is convenient for storage in a narrow push-fit.

In the above case, each mat piece 45 is an independent and separate piece, and each mat piece is covered with the cover connected at the fold, but each mat piece 45 has its lower end portion. Alternatively, the mattress body may have a structure in which the upper end portion is directly connected and the whole body of the mattress is covered.

The female surface fastener 50 and the male surface fastener 51 may be strip-shaped elongated members as shown in the figure, but a plurality of short female surface fasteners and a plurality of short male surface fasteners are provided on the upper surface of the mattress body. It is also possible to provide them at predetermined intervals and connect them.

FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of the mattress 400 according to the fourth embodiment. In the mattress 400 shown in FIG. 8, female surface fasteners 50, 50 corresponding to the first surface fastener are attached to the ends of the upper surfaces 75 of the small mat 43 and the small mat 44 adjacent to each other. The female surface fasteners 50, 50 can be connected to a strip-shaped male surface fastener 70 corresponding to the second surface fastener shown in FIG.

At the time of use, the strip-shaped male surface fastener 70 is arranged at a position straddling the adjacent female surface fasteners 50, 50 in the separating portion 46, and the strip-shaped male surface fastener 70 and the female surface fastener 50. , 50, the two small mattress bodies 43, 44 are connected and used.

However, in FIG. 8, a part of the male surface fastener 70 is omitted. Further, since the male surface fastener 70 tends to disappear if it is a separate body, in order to avoid this, one end of the male surface fastener 70 may be sewn to one of the mattress bodies 43 or 44.

The other usage and storage methods of the mattress 400 of this embodiment are the same as those of the mattress 300. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the male and female relationships of the surface fastener may be reversed.
