BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a comforter that can be freely deformed, such as a futon, a summer sleeping bag, a winter sleeping bag, and a cushion, and particularly excellent in heat retention on the foot side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When sleeping on a mattress on a floor such as a tatami mat or on a bed, it is often difficult to get deep sleep due to the low thermal insulation of the feet compared to the upper body side is there. This is due to the fact that the legs move due to turning over while sleeping, and that the gap between the futons is likely to be formed, especially on the foot side of the futons.
As a measure for preventing the occurrence of a gap due to the lifting of the comforter on the foot side, for example, buttoning the comforter on a mattress or a bed mattress can be considered.
[0003]
Examples of conventional comforters include the following (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described misalignment prevention by button fastening requires special processing not only for comforters but also for mattresses and mattresses, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost, for buttoning comforters and for drying futons, etc. There is a problem that the removal work is troublesome. In addition, in the configuration in which the comforter is locked to the mattress or the mattress by buttoning or the like, there is a problem that a great force is concentrated on a part of the comforter by turning over and the comforter is easily damaged.
[0006]
The present invention provides a low-cost comforter that can increase the heat retention on the foot side with a simple configuration without worrying about damaging the comforter, and moreover, a comforter that can also be used as a sleeping bag particularly excellent in the heat retention on the foot side. The purpose is to provide.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As means for solving the above problems, the following configuration is adopted. That is, the comforter according to claim 1 according to the present invention is provided by the user with the foot side cover attached to the foot side end of the futon body so as to overlap the back side that is the surface facing the mattress of the futon body. A bag-like pocket portion into which a foot can be put is formed, and the foot side cover is a comforter containing a filler having a heat retaining property by an exterior fabric, and end portions on both the left and right sides of the comforter body A connecting tool for detachably connecting the left and right end portions, the left and right end portions of the futon body are connected by the connecting tool, and the back surface of the futon body In a state where a cylindrical body having an inner surface facing the back surface is formed on the outside, the foot side cover is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion is on the outside, Foot side cover Accordingly, characterized in that it adapted to receive the foot end of the comforter body constituting the tubular body [0008]
In general, it is said that a state in which the head is cold and the feet are warmed, which is referred to as “head cold foot fever”, is said to be good for sleeping. In the present invention, a good sleeping environment (so-called sleeping comfort) is obtained.
The foot side cover gains thickness by accommodating the filler, and is easily compressed and deformed by the weight of the foot inserted into the pocket portion. For this reason, when you put your foot in the pocket, the foot will sink into the foot side cover with the weight of the foot itself, and the futon body connected to the foot side cover covers the foot from above, The user's foot is wrapped by the futon body and the foot side cover, and in particular, the heat retention of the foot can be greatly improved.
Moreover, since the foot side cover contains the filler, the volume is increased, the proportion of the space in the futon body is increased, and the gap generated between the futon and the body is reduced.
In addition, the inside of the pocket portion is formed with a tubular body in which the ends of the left and right sides of the futon body are connected by a connector, and the back surface of the futon body is the outside and the surface facing the back surface is the inside. By accommodating the foot side end portion of the futon body constituting the tubular body by the foot side cover that is inverted so that the surface located on the outside is located, a sleeping bag with excellent heat retention can be configured. This sleeping bag can ensure the heat retention excellent in the foot side end portion by the foot side cover.
[0009]
The comforter according to claim 2 is the comforter according to claim 1, characterized in that the pocket portion is located at a laterally central portion of the comforter main body at the foot side end.
[0010]
In the present invention, since the pocket portion is located in the center portion in the lateral direction of the futon body at the foot side end portion, the range of the opening portion of the pocket portion is limited, so the futon is not easily displaced with respect to the body. .
[0011]
The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the filler is feathers.
[0012]
In the present invention, since the filler is feathers, the amount of compressive deformation of the foot side cover can be secured very large. For this reason, it is possible to make the foot sink deeper into the foot side cover with the weight of the foot itself. Thereby, the state where the foot was wrapped by the futon body and the foot side cover can be obtained more reliably.
[0015]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, only the foot side end portion of the futon body constituting the cylindrical body is provided inside the foot side cover which is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion is on the outside. Rather, the entire futon body can be accommodated.
[0016]
In the present invention, not only the foot side end portion of the futon main body constituting the tubular body but also the futon main body inside the foot side cover which is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion is the outer side. By accommodating the entirety, a cushion in which the entire futon body is accommodated in the pocket portion is formed.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A first embodiment of a comforter according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the comforter 1 has a flat rectangular shape, and the left end 1a and the right end 1b of the rectangular comforter main body 1e of the comforter 1 are arranged on the left and right ends. A fastener (connector) 2 is provided for removably connecting the two. For the sake of explanation, the end on the head side is 1c and the end on the foot side is 1d. Of the both ends of the futon body 1e in the longitudinal direction, the head side is the head side end 1c, and the other is the foot side end 1d. The longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction of the futon body 1e (or the comforter 1) in the rectangular futon body 1e (or the comforter 1). The direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is the lateral direction, and one of the lateral ends of the futon body 1e is the left end 1a, and the other is the right end 1b. Hereinafter, the horizontal direction may be referred to as left and right.
[0018]
On the left and right ends 1c and 1d, three loops 3 are provided, one at each of the head and foot ends, and the middle. In addition, the head side end portion 1c and the foot side end portion 1d are respectively provided in the middle in the width direction, and are provided in a total of eight locations.
The interior of the futon body 1e is filled with feathers. The comforter 1 is quilted stitched vertically and horizontally, and is divided into 56 blocks, 8 in the vertical direction and 7 in the horizontal direction.
[0019]
A foot side cover 4 is provided at the foot side end of the comforter 1. The left and right end portions of the foot side cover 4 and the foot side end portions are sewn to the comforter 1. The foot side end portion of the foot side cover 4 is aligned with the foot side end portion 1 d of the comforter 1. The pocket portion 5 is formed by providing the foot side cover 4.
The user puts his / her foot on the foot side end 1d of the comforter body 1e by a foot side cover 4 provided so as to overlap the back side 1f which is the surface facing the mattress of the comforter body 1e. A bag-like pocket portion 5 is formed, and the foot-side cover 4 contains a filler having heat retaining properties by the exterior fabric 4a.
The pocket part 5 is located in the horizontal direction center part 1g of the futon main body 1e in the leg side edge part 1d. Here, the filler is feathers. The pocket part 5 is substantially square, and the length of the opening is substantially half of the width of the futon body 1e. The inside of the foot side cover 4 is filled with feathers having heat retaining properties. Further, the foot side cover 4 is quilted and sewn, and is divided into four blocks in two rows.
[0020]
The comforter 1 configured as described above is first used as a skin comforter. When used as a skin comforter, the user's feet can be put into the pocket portion 5 and the user can put the feet into the foot side end 1d of the futon body 1e. Pocket portion 5 is formed, and foot-side cover 4 contains a filler having a heat retaining property by exterior fabric 4a, so that the user's foot is a double of futon body 1e and foot-side cover 4. The thermal insulation of the comforter 1 is enhanced by being wrapped by the futon.
[0021]
Further, the foot-side cover 4 is thickened by accommodating the filler, and is easily compressed and deformed by the weight of the foot inserted into the pocket portion 5. For this reason, when a foot is put into the pocket portion 5, the foot comes to sunk into the foot side cover 4 with the weight of the foot itself, and the futon body 1e connected to the foot side cover 4 covers the foot from above. By covering, the user's foot can be wrapped by the futon body and the foot side cover, and in particular, the heat retaining property of the foot can be greatly improved.
Moreover, since the foot side cover 4 accommodates the filler, the volume is increased, the proportion of the space in the futon body is increased, and the gap generated between the futon and the body is reduced.
[0022]
Moreover, since the range of the opening part of a pocket part is limited because the pocket part 5 is located in the horizontal direction center part of the futon main body 1e in the leg side edge part 1d, a futon is hard to shift | deviate with respect to a body. .
[0023]
Moreover, since the filler is a feather, the compression deformation amount of the foot side cover 4 can be secured very large. For this reason, it is possible to make the foot dig deeper into the foot side cover 4 with the weight of the foot itself. Thereby, the state where the foot was wrapped by the futon body 1e and the foot side cover 4 can be obtained more reliably.
Moreover, since the inside of the foot side cover 4 is filled with feathers with excellent heat retention, the pocket portion 5 also has heat retention performance, so that the circumference of the foot is kept warm only by the futon. As a result, the thermal insulation performance is improved.
[0024]
Reference numeral 3 denotes a cover mounting loop for connecting the comforter cover to be placed on the comforter 1 and the comforter body 1e. However, as the futon cover that covers the comforter 1, a cover that does not cover the opening on the head side of the pocket 5 is employed so as not to obstruct the insertion of the foot into the pocket 5 when the comforter 1 is used.
[0025]
When the fasteners 2 provided on the left and right ends 1a and 1b of the comforter 1 shown in FIG. 1 are coupled and fixed to each other, the left and right ends 1a and 1b of the comforter 1 are folded inward, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical body 6 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape.
[0026]
By folding the ends 1a, 1b on the left and right sides of the comforter 1 inward and connecting them together with the fastener 2, the user can enter the space inside the comforter 1 formed in a cylindrical shape and used as a sleeping bag It becomes possible to do. At this time, nothing is covered on the foot side and it is open to the external space. For this reason, since the toes are not warmed up, when the ambient temperature is high, the feet are cool and suitable as a sleeping bag for summer.
[0027]
The foot-side cover 4 has a tubular shape in which the ends 1a and 1b on both the left and right sides of the futon body 1e are connected by fasteners 2, the back surface of the futon body 1e is outside, and the front surface 1h facing the back surface 1f is inside. In the state in which the body 6 is formed, the foot side end 1c of the futon body 1e constituting the tubular body 6 can be accommodated by inverting so that the surface located inside the pocket portion 5 becomes the outside. ing.
From the state of FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner side of the cylindrical body 6 is inverted so that it is outside, or when the left and right ends 1 a and 1 b of the comforter 1 are joined by the fastener 2, The surface on which the pocket portion 5 is formed is exposed to the outside and combined, and as shown in FIG. From this state, the pocket portion 5 is turned over to expose the inside of the pocket portion 5 to the outside, and the foot side cover 4 is folded back.
[0028]
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the foot-side cover 4 covers the foot-side end 1d, and the open space of the foot-side end 1d is closed.
For this reason, even when used as a sleeping bag, the foot-side end 1d is closed, so switching to a winter sleeping bag is possible, and the feet are kept warm by the comforter 1 and the foot-side cover 4, and the feet do not cool. Further, the foot side end 1d is covered with two sheets of the comforter 1 and the pocket cloth 4, so that the heat retaining performance is further improved.
Therefore, it is optimal for use as a sleeping bag for winter.
[0029]
The foot-side cover 4 that closes the foot-side space is formed at the foot-side end 1d of the comforter 1 and is disposed outside the comforter 1 that has a cylindrical shape. A space is formed between the foot side cover 4 and the comforter 1. The comforter 1 has not only the foot side end 1d of the comforter body 1e constituting the tubular body 6 inside the foot side cover 4 which is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion 5 is outside, The entire futon body 1e can be accommodated. By inserting the head side portion of the comforter 1 into the foot side cover 4, most of the comforter 1 can be accommodated in the pocket portion 5, and can be stored compactly as shown in FIG. A cushion 7 is formed.
By storing most of the comforter 1 in the pocket portion 5 and using the comforter as a cushion 7, the space is not so occupied. Moreover, the comforter 1 can be easily carried. Moreover, the place to use is not chosen.
[0030]
In the comforter 1, a tubular body in which the left and right ends 1a and 1b of the comforter body 1e are connected by a fastener 2, the back surface 1f of the comforter body 1e is on the outside, and the surface facing the back surface is on the inside. In the state where 6 is formed, the foot side end portion of the futon body constituting the tubular body is accommodated by the foot side cover which is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion 5 is on the outside. A sleeping bag with excellent properties can be constructed. Therefore, when used as a sleeping bag for winter, the foot side cover 4 covers the foot side 1d, so that cold air does not enter the sleeping bag even if the surrounding air is cold. As a result, even in the winter when the surrounding air is cold, the feet are warmed and the user can sleep comfortably.
[0031]
Moreover, when using it as a skin comforter, since the feather | wing which has heat retention property is filled in the foot side cover 4, even if it puts a leg in the pocket part 5, heat retention property is hold | maintained and a leg | foot does not become cold. In addition, when used as a sleeping bag for winter, the foot side is covered with two sheets of the comforter 1 and the upper cloth for the pocket, so that the heat retaining property is improved.
[0032]
In addition, not only the foot side end 1d of the futon main body 1e constituting the tubular body 6 but also the futon main body inside the foot side cover 4 which is inverted so that the surface located inside the pocket portion 5 becomes the outer side. Since the entire 1e can be accommodated, a cushion in which the entire futon body 1e is accommodated inside the pocket portion is formed. For this reason, the range of uses is widened, and the comforter 1 is made compact so that the space can be used effectively.
[0033]
In this embodiment, the filler is feathers, but other fillers such as cotton may be used instead as long as the filler has heat retaining properties.
Moreover, in this embodiment, although the shape of the foot side cover 4 was made into the substantially square shape, another shape may be sufficient. At this time, by making the shape of the foot side cover 4 wider toward the foot side, an effect of easily filling the gap on the foot side while the body is fixed to the comforter 1 can be expected.
[0034]
