Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an infant mat for sleeping an infant, and is particularly suitable for improving safety and ease of handling in a nursery school that handles a large number of children.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, futons have been frequently used to lay infants at homes and nurseries. Cotton, synthetic fiber, or a blend of these is used for the futon batting, and 100% cotton is the mainstream for wrapping the batting.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the cotton pad is made of cotton, there is an advantage that it absorbs water well because it absorbs water, but there is a drawback that it is easily stuffy because it does not diverge. In addition, when infants sweat or beggar, mites tend to live in the futon due to the ease of stuffiness. For this reason, futons such as nurseries that entrust infants have a variety of problems such as tick and moths are easily generated, and they are difficult to dry.
[0004]
One means for solving this problem is drying by sun drying or washing. However, cotton duvets are difficult to dry, so they must be dried frequently and over long periods of time to prevent mites and moisture. However, in the case of cotton, the futon becomes heavier, so that the nursery labor increases in a nursery that raises a large number of infants. In addition, when a large number of futons are spread and dried, a large area is required, and since it cannot be spread directly on the soil, the position of the futons is limited such as hanging on a sunny floor or hanging on a fence.
In addition, it is not easy to wash the cotton duvet, and it takes a lot of labor and cost, such as taking out the batting from the side fabric, re-stitching the batting and sewing it into the washed side fabric.
[0005]
On the other hand, when synthetic fiber or a blend of cotton is used for the batting, it is lightweight and easy to handle, but the water absorption is decreased.
In addition, because traditional futons are soft and poorly breathable regardless of the material of the batting, there is a risk of suffocation when the face is buried in the duvet and the nose and mouth are blocked, such as when an infant lies on its face was there.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to reduce the risk of suffocation of infants and to be light, and to be excellent in water absorption and easy to maintain such as drying and washing. Is to provide.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the infant mat according to claim 1 has a mesh structure having good air permeability and rigidity capable of standing in a self-supporting state, in which a double raschel weave is applied to the side of the infant sleeping. In a baby mat composed of a bag-shaped side cloth provided and a cotton pad made of synthetic resin and housed in the side cloth, a bag portion that covers the batting with the inner bag and stores the batting individually 2 on the side ground, and an opening / closing means for closing and opening the opening for storing and taking out the batting of the bag portion is provided on the side ground, and is folded in a self-standing state. It can be dried with
[0008]
As described above, the infant mat according to the present invention applies a mesh structure having good air permeability, such as a double raschel weave, to one side surface of the side cloth covering the batting, and a bag portion with, for example, 100% cotton cloth at the lower part. Since the bag part is filled with, for example, a cotton pad made of resin cotton, if the infant is put to sleep on the side to which the mesh structure is applied, even if the infant becomes prone, the breathability is not impaired, and the face is filled with the cotton pad. There is no danger of suffocating because it is not buried inside. Furthermore, even if an infant makes a bedclothes, it is absorbed by the batting through the mesh structure, so that the baby's body is no longer touched and the conventional discomfort is not experienced.
[0009]
In addition, by using a plurality of the above-mentioned bag portions, it is only necessary to take out the necessary batting among the plural battings, so it is no longer necessary to carry the entire mat for infants and handling during drying and washing is easy. It becomes. Since the bag portion is provided with an opening and an opening / closing means for storing and taking out the batting, the batting can be easily taken out from the bag portion. For example, a fastener or a hook is suitable as the opening / closing means.
In addition, the batting is covered with a batting bag, and the side cloth is covered with a sheet set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the side cloth, and the side cloth containing the batting is accommodated with respect to the sheet. In addition, since the opening is provided, and the opening is positioned on the opposite side to the sleeping surface when the infant sleeps, the sheet can be easily attached and the sheet does not wrinkle. There is no risk of suffocating death due to spears.
Moreover, in the structure which divided | segmented the bag part, since it can bend | fold from a division | segmentation position, it can dry in the standing state by self-supporting, and a drying operation becomes easy in combination with lightweight.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of an infant mat to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the structure of an infant mat, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of the infant mat, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the structure of the infant mat, and FIG. 4 is a function of the infant mat. FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a main part showing the configuration of the infant mat, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a folded shape of the infant mat.
[0011]
As shown in the drawings, the appearance of the infant mat 1 is formed in a rectangular plane shape, and is in the form of a so-called futon as a whole, and is placed on the floor or bed in use. Moreover, when not in use, they can be stacked as they are, or can be folded according to the storage location. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the surface on which the infant sleeps in the state where the infant mat 1 is laid is referred to as the surface A, and the surface opposite to the surface A and in contact with the floor corresponds to the back surface B and the thickness. Let the four sides to be side C be.
The portion corresponding to the core of the infant mat 1 is the mat 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the mat 2 is a bag-like side surface 2B made of 100% polyester batting 2A, 65% polyester and 35% cotton. It is the structure covered by.
In this embodiment, two small mats 2 are used for one infant mat 1 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and can be folded at an intermediate position P between the two small mats 2. Yes. The two small mats 2 are accommodated in one side 3 as shown in FIG. 4, but can be individually taken out on both sides of the intermediate position P.
[0012]
As for the side ground 3, the whole surface corresponding to the surface A is comprised by the single double russell 3A, and the surface equivalent to the back surface B and the side surface C is comprised by cotton cloth 3B, such as 190 cotton broad. The double russell 3A is also called a special three-dimensional mesh, and has a configuration in which a pair of upper and lower elastic members 4A and 4B in which thin fibers are formed in, for example, a tortoiseshell pattern as viewed from the plane are joined by a thin thread-like body 4C having elasticity. It has become. The elastic members 4A and 4B and the filamentous body 4C are integrally formed of a soft synthetic resin. When a weight is applied, the whole is elastically bent and deformed like a thin plate, but only a part of the hollow is depressed. The structure is difficult to deform.
According to this configuration, the plane direction is knitted and most of the gaps are present, and the gap between the filaments 4C is also the gap in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, most of the double raschel 3A is a space. Unlike the bubble-shaped space formed in the sponge, this space is a continuous space that communicates with the outside air, and thus has a superior air permeability.
[0013]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cloth 3 </ b> B is sewn at a substantially central position P in the longitudinal direction of the double raschel 3 </ b> A, thereby forming two bag-like mat storage portions 6 </ b> A and 6 </ b> B. Fasteners 7A and 7B are provided on the side surface C of the mat storage portions 6A and 6B, as shown in FIG. 4, so that the small mat 2 can be easily stored and removed from the mat storage portions 6A and 6B. Has been.
The surface A of the side ground 3 is covered with a bed sheet type sheet 8, but the size of the sheet 8 is set to be slightly smaller than the side ground 3. And since rubber is inserted in the end part in order to expand and contract the opening 9 shown in FIG. 2, when the side ground 3 is covered with the sheet 8 so that the opening 9 becomes the back surface B, as shown in FIG. In addition, the entire double russell 3A is covered with the sheet 8, and no wrinkles are formed from the dimension setting.
Further, by expanding the opening 9, the sheet 8 can be easily removed as shown in FIG. The material of the sheet 8 is preferably a cotton / holiester blend that does not easily wrinkle even without ironing.
[0014]
When the infant mat 1 is used, the small mat 2 is covered with the side cloth 3 and further covered with the sheets 8, and the mat is laid on the floor or bed with the surface A facing up. In this state, as clearly shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, the double raschel 3 </ b> A is positioned on the upper surface, and the surface is covered with the sheet 8.
Since the double raschel 3A is formed on the two small mats 2, when the infant is laid on the infant mat 1, the double raschel 3A is deformed in a curved shape with the rigidity of the entire double raschel 3A corresponding to the weight of the infant. There is no concave deformation such that only the weighted part sinks greatly.
[0015]
When the infant is laid face down, the portion corresponding to the face is not recessed and the face is not buried by the action of the double russell 3A. Moreover, since the infant's mouth and nose face the double russell 3A through the thin sheet 8, they can communicate with the outside air through the space formed in the double russell 3A, and can freely breathe without resistance and suffocate. It is expected to reduce the risk.
Further, since the surface is covered with the sheet 8, there is no pain, and the sheet 8 is set to a size that allows the sheet 8 to be tight when covered with the sheet 8. 8 is hung in a state where wrinkles are more difficult, and it is expected to reduce suffocation due to the sheet 8.
[0016]
When an infant sweats or wishes, it is absorbed by the small mat 2 through the space of the double russell 3A. Double Russell 3A itself has no water absorption. Therefore, since the double raschel 3A having no water absorption is interposed between the small mat 2 that sucks sweat or rice cake and the infant, the wet small mat 2 does not touch the infant directly, and there is no discomfort. In such a case, it is only necessary to dry the wet small mat 2, and it can be expected that labor for mothers, mothers, etc. can be reduced and space for drying can be reduced.
[0017]
The infant mat 1 can be folded at a position P as indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. And since the double raschel 3A has an appropriate rigidity, it can be folded in two as shown in FIG. 6 to stand in a self-supporting state, and in this state, it can be dried in the sun and dried. Do not take.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the sheet 8 can be removed, and then the wet small mat 2 can be taken out and dried individually. Moreover, it can wash | clean in the state disassembled into the small mat 2, the side ground 3, and the sheet 8, and can also be easily assembled | attached to the original state. The batting 2A constituting the small mat 2 is polyester, and the double raschel 3A has no water absorption, and both have light and quick drying characteristics and are also characterized by being hardly stuffy.
Therefore, coupled with the ease of washing and drying, the infant mat can always be kept clean, and the occurrence of ticks can be prevented. In addition, since it is lightweight, maintenance work such as drying and washing becomes easy, and it is possible to reduce the labor of the nursery and improve workability.
[0018]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. For example, double raschel is the best, but it is not necessary to be limited to double raschel, and even if it is composed of a single mesh structure with a thick cord, the effects as described above which were not found in conventional infant mats Is also obtained.
Further, the number of bag portions is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. You may make it the structure which the opening part of the sheet 8 opens and closes with a fastener.
Furthermore, although the material of 65% polyester and 35% cotton was used for the side ground 2B, it is not limited to this, For example, 100% of polyester may be sufficient.
[0019]
