従来、室内に配設されたベッドやソファー及びそれらの近傍付近を照らすための照明装置を備える家具やＬＥＤを取り付けた枕が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, furniture including a bed or sofa disposed indoors and a lighting device for illuminating the vicinity of the bed and a pillow mounted with LEDs are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特許文献１の枕は、芯体（クッション体）と、この表面を被覆するカバーと、表面から光を放射する発光素子と、発光素子に電力を供給する電源端子とを備える。   The pillow of Patent Document 1 includes a core body (cushion body), a cover that covers the surface, a light emitting element that emits light from the surface, and a power supply terminal that supplies power to the light emitting element.

そして、概略次の（１）、（２）のように構成している。
（１） 芯体に発光素子として複数個のＬＥＤを表面から突出しないように埋め込んでいる。発光素子を芯体に埋め込んで保持するために、芯体には発光素子保持穴が複数個設けられている。この発光素子保持穴は、発光素子をその壁面で弾性的に強着するように、発光素子の外形とほぼ同じ口径に形成される。また、発光素子保持穴の深さは、発光素子が表面から突出しないで１０〜５０ｍｍに位置するように形成される。また、個々の発光素子への給電は、発光素子保持穴の下方の配線から行っている。
（２） ＬＥＤを配置した凹部を形成した発光体を面状に芯体表面に配置して構成していいる。この発光体の裏面側は接着面とされ、面ファスナーや両面テープ、縫合等により芯体表面の所望の位置に装着され、発光体は相互にリード線等で接続されている。この構成の枕用ＬＥＤ装置は、既存の枕に極めて容易に装着できる。
実用新案登録第３０９６６８２号公報 And it is comprised like following (1) and (2) roughly.
(1) A plurality of LEDs are embedded in the core body as light emitting elements so as not to protrude from the surface. In order to embed and hold the light emitting element in the core body, the core body is provided with a plurality of light emitting element holding holes. The light emitting element holding hole is formed to have substantially the same diameter as the outer shape of the light emitting element so as to elastically attach the light emitting element on its wall surface. Further, the depth of the light emitting element holding hole is formed so that the light emitting element is located at 10 to 50 mm without protruding from the surface. Further, power is supplied to the individual light emitting elements from the wiring below the light emitting element holding holes.
(2) A light emitter having a recess in which an LED is arranged is arranged on the surface of the core body in a planar shape. The back side of the light emitter is an adhesive surface, and is attached to a desired position on the surface of the core body by a hook-and-loop fastener, double-sided tape, stitching, and the like, and the light emitters are connected to each other by lead wires or the like.

Utility Model Registration No. 3096682

しかしながら、上記特許文献１の（１）の構成にあっては、クッション体に発光素子保持穴を設けねばならないと共に、裏側からこの穴を通して配線しなければならず、製造作業が複雑化し、コストが上昇する。また、発光素子保持穴に深く埋める（表面から遠い）と光放射の方向が狭くなり、放射される光が減少して発光の効率が悪くなり、逆に、発光素子保持穴に浅く埋める（表面から近い）と、発光の効率はよくなるが使用時に凹凸が感じられ、違和感が生じて使い心地がよくない。   However, in the configuration of (1) in Patent Document 1, the light emitting element holding hole must be provided in the cushion body, and wiring must be made through the hole from the back side, which complicates the manufacturing operation and reduces the cost. To rise. Also, if the light emitting element holding hole is buried deeply (far from the surface), the direction of light emission is narrowed, the emitted light is reduced and the light emission efficiency is deteriorated, and conversely, the light emitting element holding hole is buried shallowly (surface ), The light emission efficiency is improved, but unevenness is felt at the time of use, resulting in a sense of incongruity and uncomfortable use.

また、上記特許文献１の（２）の構成にあっては、カバー部材が薄く、発光体の凹部が浅いと、使用時に凹部の凹凸が感じられ、違和感が生じて使い心地がよくない。また、発光体は使用者に接触して大きく変形するので、断線のおそれもある。   Further, in the configuration of (2) of Patent Document 1 described above, if the cover member is thin and the concave portion of the light emitter is shallow, the concave and convex portions of the concave portion are felt at the time of use, and a sense of incongruity is generated, which is not comfortable. Moreover, since the light emitter is greatly deformed upon contact with the user, there is a risk of disconnection.

本発明は、上記の問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、発光クッションからの発光の効率がよくて感触が悪くなく、使い心地の良い発光クッションを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting cushion that has high light-emission efficiency from the light-emitting cushion, is not bad in touch, and is comfortable to use.

請求項２記載の発明に係る発光クッションは、請求項1の構成において、前記表面部材に配線用溝を前記凹部を結んで設けたことを特徴とする。   A light emitting cushion according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the configuration of the first aspect, a wiring groove is provided on the surface member by connecting the concave portion.

請求項１に記載された発明によれば、表面部材の裏面凹部に発光部材が設けられるので、表面に凹凸ができず、使い心地を悪くすることがない。また、表面部材を透明部材で構成すれば光の吸収がなく、光を効率よく表面部材から放射できる。表面部材を半透明の部材で構成しても光の吸収が少なく、光を有効に表面部材から放射できる。また、表面部材の裏面に凹部を形成すればよく、凹部を発光部材に合わせればよいだけであるから、簡単に安価に製造できる。   According to the invention described in claim 1, since the light emitting member is provided in the back surface concave portion of the surface member, the surface cannot be uneven, and the usability is not deteriorated. Further, if the surface member is made of a transparent member, light is not absorbed and light can be efficiently emitted from the surface member. Even if the surface member is made of a translucent member, light absorption is small and light can be effectively emitted from the surface member. Moreover, it is only necessary to form a recess on the back surface of the front surface member, and it is only necessary to match the recess to the light emitting member, so that it can be easily manufactured at low cost.

請求項２記載された発明によれば、請求項１の発明の効果に加え、より表面に凹凸ができず、使い心地を良くすることができる。   According to the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, the surface is not more uneven, and the usability can be improved.

発光部材を有機ＥＬとすると、柔軟に構成することが可能で、一層クッション体への適用が容易になり、使い心地を良いクッションとすることができる。   When the organic EL is used as the light emitting member, the light emitting member can be configured flexibly, can be easily applied to the cushion body, and can be used as a comfortable cushion.
