The pocket part 2 is provided so as to be closer to the head side than the foot side of the bag body 1, so that the user's upper body, where the internal organs are located, is heated intensively by the granular stone 21. I'm trying to make it possible.

The pocket main body 20 is sandwiched between the sheet material of the stone holding layer 1B and the net portion 23, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4(b). That is, the stone retaining layer 1B and the net portion 23 are sewn together in parallel to the short side direction of the lower surface portion 12, and the area where the stone retaining layer 1B and the net portion 23 are closely sewn together is separated from the stone retaining layer 1B. A plurality of aligned semi-cylindrical spaces are formed by alternately forming regions to be sewn together with slack between the mesh portion 23 and the pocket body 20 at predetermined intervals.
In this way, by arranging the pocket bodies 20 at intervals, even if the pocket body 20 is filled with granular stone 21, the bag body 1 can be folded multiple times around the direction perpendicular to the folding side 13. This makes it possible to improve portability.

The granular stone 21 is a stone that emits far infrared rays and negative ions when heated. Examples of the material for the granular stone 21 include radium ore, tourmaline, germanium, terahertz ore, maifan stone, and loess, and it is preferable that at least two or more of these are blended and filled in the pocket body 20.

The granular stones 21 are spherical with an outer diameter of about 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, but it is preferable that all the stones have approximately the same diameter. Since the granular stone material 21 is a sphere with a small diameter, the surface area of the stone material can be increased and the efficiency of emitting heat or far infrared rays can be increased.

In the embodiment, each pocket main body 20 is filled with at least 1,000 or more granular stones 21, preferably about 3,000 to 5,000 particles. Further, the filling rate (volume basis) is at least 10%, preferably about 40% to 65%. In addition to rolling due to the spherical shape of the granular stone 21, the bag 1 can be folded at least once around the direction parallel to the folding side 13.
Further, the total weight of the granular stones 21 is 2 kg to 4 kg, which is a weight that can be carried.

The peripheral edge part 22 is arranged so as to surround the peripheral edge of the pocket bodies 20 arranged in the array. By closing the end of the pocket body 20 extending in a semi-cylindrical shape and closing the side part of the pocket body 20 disposed near the peripheral edge 22, the granular stone 21 is prevented from flowing out from the pocket part 2. ing.

The net portion 23 is a mesh provided so that the mesh size is at least smaller than the outer diameter of the granular stone 21, and is made of chemical fiber such as nylon or polyester.
