Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a mat using rush. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mat using rush, which has sufficient air permeability, is hard to cause bedsore, and can effectively use rush that is too short or too thin to be used for tatami mats or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many types of mats are used for bedtime and relaxation when the living environment and lifestyle are diversified. Among these products, the most commonly manufactured products are mats using polyurethane foam (hereinafter referred to as foam mats).

[0003] Many products using rush are also manufactured. The use of large quantities of rushes is, as is well known, tatami mats. There are two types of tatami mats: a delivery table and a relay table, and most of the actual tables are actually manufactured. The delivery table is a tatami table that has a single long rush that has been drawn through its entire width. In addition, the most common size of the Honma table is 94.8 cm in width, so rush plants longer than that are used.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the foam mats and tatami mats using rush as described above have the following problems. That is, in the case of the foam mat, since the foam mat is too soft, the foam mat is deformed along with the body shape at bedtime or the like and comes into close contact with each other. In addition, since the body was sunk, it was difficult to turn over, and the body was pressed by a hard part such as the floor under the mat and blood circulation deteriorated.

[0005] In addition, some of the harvested rushes cannot be used as tatami mats, such as those that are less than the width of the tatami mat, those that have a usable portion even if they are long enough, and those that are thin and poor. Are mixed. If such rushes are used and woven as they are on a tatami surface, they will be removed before weaving because they will make the appearance worse and impair the commercial value. The rush removed in this way is, for example, partially cut into small pieces, mixed with polyester staple cotton and the like, and used as a pillow filling. However, the amount used in such a manner was extremely small when viewed as a whole, and most were disposed of by incineration or the like.

[0006] (Object of the present invention) The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, has sufficient air permeability, is comfortable to sleep because it does not get stuffy, and is easy to roll over and hardly causes bedsores. The purpose is to provide a matched mat. In addition, rush that is less than the required length, rush that is short enough to be used even if it is long enough, and slender and poor rush that are too thin to be used, which have been disposed of by incineration or the like before because they could not be commercialized, are effective. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mat using rushes that can be used for the field.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The means of the present invention taken to achieve the above object are as follows. The first invention is a mat using rush, wherein the rush is contained in a cover having air permeability, and the rush has a predetermined length.

[0008] In the second invention, rush is arranged in the same direction in a permeable cover, and the rush is substantially the same length as the length of the cover in the vertical or horizontal direction. It is a mat that uses rush and is characterized by having a rug.

[0009] In the third invention, rush is contained in a cover having air permeability, the rush has a predetermined length, and shape retention is provided in the cover having air permeability. A mat using rush, characterized in that a layered member having air permeability is provided.

In a fourth aspect of the present invention, the rush is arranged in the same direction in a cover having air permeability, and the rush is accommodated in the cover, and the rush has a length substantially equal to the length of the cover in the vertical or horizontal direction. A mat using rush, characterized in that a layered member having shape retention and air permeability is provided in the air-permeable cover.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mat using the rush plant according to the first, second, third or fourth aspect, wherein a plurality of foldable means are provided. It is.

The rush mat according to the present invention can be used, for example, as a mat to be laid on the floor or in a bed, or as a small rug to be placed on a cushion or a sofa. In particular, it is suitable as a mat for long-term use. However, the application is not limited to the above.

In the rush mat according to the present invention, rush of a predetermined length is accommodated in a cover having air permeability. The rushes are often housed side by side in the same direction, but they may cross not only in the same direction but also intersect. When rush is stored in the cover in the same direction, rush is often used that has substantially the same length as the cover in the vertical or horizontal direction. That is, when the rush is stored in the cover in the vertical direction, the length of the rush is substantially the same as the length of the cover in the vertical direction, in other words, the rush can be stored smoothly. Thus, a length slightly shorter than the length of the cover in the vertical direction is suitable. In addition, when the rush is stored side by side in the cover, the length of the rush is substantially the same as the length of the cover in the horizontal direction, in other words, the rush can be stored smoothly. Thus, a length slightly shorter than the lateral length of the cover is suitable. The shape of the cover may be a vertically long rectangle or a vertically and horizontally same square.

In the rush mat according to the present invention, the most commonly used rush is rush that is harvested as rush for tatami mats and removed before weaving as unusable, but it can be sufficiently used as tatami mats. There is no problem using rush. The removed rushes are shorter than the width of the tatami table, removed before weaving the tatami table, those with a short enough usable physical property even if they are long enough, or thin and poor And the like, and are usually used as a mixture. In this case, it is possible to use a cover that is longer than the tatami mat, but in that case, cut the cover slightly shorter than the vertical or horizontal length.

As the layered member having shape retention and air permeability, for example, a thin mat-shaped member formed of rubber or plastic and having pores communicating with the front and back surfaces is used. However, it is not limited to these.

(Action) In the rush mat according to the present invention, rush is stored in a cover having air permeability, and the rush has a predetermined length. As described above, since the rush of a predetermined length is accommodated in the cover, the body is supported by the entire rush mat at bedtime or the like, and has both appropriate cushioning properties and hardness. Therefore, since only the body part does not go into a sunk state, it is easy to move the body, such as turning over, and it is possible to prevent the floor from slipping even after long-term use. In addition, since the body is hard to sink, there are many gaps between the body surface and the rush mat, and there are many gaps between the rush surface stored in the cover, so that the air permeability is good No, it is also very comfortable.

In addition, since the rush is contained in the cover, it is not visible from the outside, but is less than the length or width of the tatami mat, or has a short usable portion even if the length is sufficient. Alternatively, there is no particular problem even if a thin and poor material is used. This makes it possible to effectively use rush that has been disposed of by incineration, etc., which cannot be used as a tatami mat, and can reduce costs.

The rushes are accommodated in the air-permeable cover side by side in the same direction, and the rushes have substantially the same length as the length of the cover in the vertical or horizontal direction. For example, unlike those that are finely cut, it is easy to bundle them together and obtain a desired shape of rush mat. In addition, since both ends of the rush are located on the edge of the mat, they do not come out of the sleeping surface or the seating surface.For example, during bedtime, the sharp end of the rush hits the back and stabs. It doesn't hurt your comfort.

In the case where a layered member having shape retention and air permeability is provided in a cover having air permeability, the shape can be maintained by using, carrying, storing and the like for a long time without impairing air permeability. The desired shape can be maintained without collapse.

[0020] If a plurality of foldable means are provided, the foldable and compact means can be easily carried and can be stored in a narrow place.

[0021]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a first embodiment of a rush mat according to the present invention. In the figure, M1 is a rush mat. The rush mat M1 is rectangular and is composed of two mat components 1 and 1. The two mat components 1 and 1 are connected on the upper surface side in FIG. 1, and the connected portion is a bent portion 2 so that the mat components 1 and 1 can be overlapped and folded. The bent portion 2 is a portion corresponding to the upper part of the connected portion of the mat components 1 and 1, that is, the upper edges of two covers 5 described later are sewn together.

The mat components 1 and 1 each include a mat member 4 made of rush 3 and having a cushioning property accommodated in a cloth cover 5 having air permeability. The length of the rush 3 is slightly shorter than the length of the cover 5 in the lateral direction (width direction), but is substantially the same length. The rush 3 is arranged in contact in the same direction so as to form a thin mat. It is bound with thread 6 so that it does not collapse.

The rush 3 cannot be used for tatami mats because the length removed before weaving is less than the width of the tatami mat or the usable portion is short even if the length is sufficient. Alternatively, thin and poor materials are mixed and used.

(Operation) Since the mat components 1 and 1 have the cushioned mat body 4 formed of the rush 3 accommodated in the cover 5 having air permeability, the entire surface of the mat body 4 is provided. The body can support the body at bedtime, so that only the body parts do not sink, the body can be easily rolled over, and bedsores can be prevented. Further, since the mat body 4 has an appropriate hardness, the entire surface of the body does not closely follow the surface of the mat body 4 and there are many voids between a part of the body and the mat body 4. Can be. In addition, there are many gaps between the surfaces of the rush 3 constituting the mat body 4, and it has excellent breathability and does not stuffy, so that it is comfortable to sleep.

Further, the rush 3 may be one having a width less than the width of the tatami mat, a short portion usable even if the length is sufficient, or a thin and poor one. Therefore, the rush that has been disposed of by incineration or the like can be used effectively, and costs can be reduced.

Furthermore, the rushes 3 are accommodated side by side in the same direction and are slightly shorter than the length of the cover 5 in the horizontal direction, but have substantially the same length. The target M1 can be formed in a desired shape. In addition, since both ends of the rush 3 do not come out of the surface of the rush mat M1 and are in contact with only the side surfaces, the rush 3 does not stab the body such as the back or the like during bedtime, and is comfortable to sleep.

Since the bent portion 2 is formed, it can be easily carried and stored in a narrow place by folding and making it compact.

Since the rush 3 is arranged in the same direction (width direction), the rush mat M1 can be easily formed into a predetermined shape.

Since the mat body 4 having a cushioning property accommodated in the cover 5 is bound by the thread 6 so as not to move in the cover 5, the shape can be prevented from being deformed during use, carrying, and storage.

FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a second embodiment of the rush mat according to the present invention. In the figure, M2 is a rush mat. The rush mat M2 is obtained by making the cushion body 4 having the cushioning property of the rush mat M1 thinner as described above. The lower surface of the cushioning mat body 4 housed in the cover 5 has a shape retaining property. A layered member 7 having air permeability (formed of synthetic resin and having a fibrous appearance) is laminated. That is, the rush mat M2 using rush grass is different from the rush mat M1 in that the layered members 7 are laminated. In addition to the above-described laminated structure, the upper and lower surfaces of the layered member 7 may be sandwiched with the mat body 4 interposed therebetween.

(Action) The rush mat M2 has the following action in addition to the action of the rush mat M1. That is, since the layered member 7 having a shape retaining property is laminated on the lower surface of the mat body 4 having the cushioning property, the entire mat constituting portion 1 is reinforced by the shape retaining sheet 7. Accordingly, the rush mat M2 can maintain the expected shape without being deformed by long-term use, carrying, storing, and the like.

The rush mats M1 and M2 are typical examples, but other examples (not shown) include a structure in which a plurality of mat components are separated from each other, and which are appropriately arranged when used. Further, the mat component may be housed in a case thinner than the thickness of the mat component, and only the upper portion of the mat component may be exposed through the case opening.

The terms and expressions used in the present specification are for explanation only, are not restrictive, and do not exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the above-mentioned terms and expressions. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.
