Description

   The present invention relates to a futon cover for storing a futon in a rectangular bag, and more particularly to a futon cover having improved futon insertion / removal properties.

  A recent futon cover has a configuration in which the futon is put in and out of the bag-like cover by opening and closing a slide fastener provided in a part of the periphery of the cover. This is because the slide fastener is used for forming an opening for putting in and out the futon inside the bag-like cover. Because it is excellent.

By the way, as an opening / closing structure using a slide fastener (hereinafter abbreviated as a fastener), among the rectangular bag-shaped peripheral part, the three sides of the front and rear and one side are sewn together, and the remaining other side, that is, only one side. First conventional configuration for attaching fasteners (see Patent Literature 1), second conventional configuration for attaching fasteners continuous on three sides of one of the front and rear portions and the left and right side portions (see Patent Literature 2), one side portion In addition, there is a third conventional configuration in which a continuous fastener is attached to one of the front and rear portions, that is, two sides. In addition, there is a fourth conventional configuration in which the fastener is attached in the front-rear direction in the middle of the left and right in the upper cloth among the upper and lower cloths that define the bag shape.

  As a result of studying the above-described first to fourth conventional configurations, the present applicants have found that none of them can be satisfied yet from the operability and convenience when putting in and out the futon.

(A) The first conventional configuration is most often used, but the fastener is only on one side, and when one side is opened through the fastener, the futon is pushed into the bag-shaped cover. Since the side portion is closed, it is difficult to insert the hand deeply into the cover when the back side corner of the futon is displaced from the cover corresponding portion.
(B) The second conventional configuration has fasteners on three sides, and can open large in the bag from one side of the front and back to the middle of both sides. Failure, and further, the phenomenon of cloth biting when the fastener slides easily occurs. Moreover, since it is arrange | positioned also at one side of the front-and-back part of a cover, there exists a possibility that the fastener part may hit a person's neck in a use aspect.

(C) The third conventional configuration has the same problem as the second conventional configuration because the fastener is L-shaped. Further, as in the first conventional configuration, it is difficult to insert the hand deeply into the cover so that the back corners of the futon are aligned when they are displaced from the cover corresponding part.
(D) In the fourth conventional configuration, since the fastener is on the upper cloth that defines the bag shape, the front and back of the futon cover in the usage mode are determined. That is, if the fastener side is down, a foreign object feeling is given.

  The above problems become more prominent as the target futon becomes larger like a double futon or a kotatsu futon, for example. Also, in nursing care sites, etc., the futon cover is frequently washed, so it is preferable that the futon can be taken in and out more easily and the burden applied to the waist and the like can be further reduced. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a futon cover that maintains a simple structure as a futon cover and is superior to conventional products in terms of inserting and removing the futon and ease of use.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is formed in a rectangular bag shape by an upper cloth and a lower cloth, and has a slide fastener provided at a part of the periphery of the cover, and opens and closes the slide fastener. In the futon cover that is operated to put the futon into and out of the bag shape, out of the cover periphery, the left and right front parts on both sides from the front part, and the left and right rear parts on both sides from the rear part are each 10 to 15 cm in length (M). The front and rear receiving portions having a U-shaped cross section are formed on the front and rear sides of the cover, respectively, and the slide fasteners are provided on both sides between the left and right front portions and the left and right rear portions. provided with,

In the upper cloth, there is provided a decorative sewing portion that is sewn in the width direction corresponding to each of the rear end portion of the front storage portion and the front end portion of the rear storage portion.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the slide fasteners on both sides are opened, the upper cloth is lifted upward evenly in the width direction except for the front and rear portions corresponding to the front and rear accommodation portions. For this reason, when storing the futon in the bag-shaped cover, as shown in FIG. 3, with both sides of the futon being rolled up, it is rewound on one side of the futon after being inserted into the bag from one of the openings. Place it in the corresponding accommodating part. In this state, the side on which the futon is rewound is constrained by the corresponding accommodating portion, and thereafter, the other side is placed in the corresponding accommodating portion while being rewound. Thereafter, the slide fasteners on both sides are closed. When removing the futon, you can do it in reverse. The present invention can have the following advantages.

(1) In the present invention, for example, in the storing operation of the futon, since there are two slide fasteners provided on the both sides of the bag-like cover and excluding the front and rear storage portions, FIG. As shown in a) and (b), except for the front and rear parts corresponding to the front and rear storage parts, the upper cloth can be easily lifted upwards in the width direction, making it easy to put in and out of the futon and not subject to any load. And it will be easy for the elderly to operate. In addition, a large futon such as a kotatsu futon or a double futon can be taken in and out accurately.
(2) In the present invention, for example, in a futon storage operation, one of the futon front and rear portions is constrained or positioned to the corresponding accommodating portion by the U-shaped front housing portion and the rear housing portion provided at the front and rear portions of the bag-shaped cover, From this state, it is possible to accurately store the other side of the front and back of the futon by simply inserting the other into the corresponding housing, and the operability can be improved, for example, the front and rear of the futon can be eliminated.
(3) Since each slide fastener of the present invention is a linear fastener, it is less likely to fail than the conventional L-shaped and U-shaped fasteners, and is attached to both sides of the periphery of the bag-like cover. Even if the futon front and back are reversed in the state, there is no risk of touching the fastener portion and giving a feeling of foreign matter.

(4) In the present invention, if the length of M in FIG. 1 is shorter than 10 cm, the above-described front-and-rear housing portion's futon restraining action or positioning action is impaired, and if it is longer than 15 cm, the front and rear portions of the futon are placed in the corresponding housing portion. Such a problem that the corner portion of the futon does not coincide with the corresponding portion of the housing portion and becomes easily flipped and becomes unstable can be prevented.

  Hereinafter, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the modification shown in FIG. 4 will be described in detail with respect to the futon cover according to the present invention.

(Structure) The futon cover 1 shown in FIG. 1 is intended for a single-type mattress, and has a length L of about 200 cm and a width L1 of about 100 cm. The cover structure is formed in a rectangular bag shape having front and rear portions 10 and 11 and both sides 12, and has a slide fastener 3 provided at a part of the periphery of the cover. Same as before in that the futon is put in and out of the bag. The contrivance point is that, in particular, the front housing part 13 and the rear housing part 14 having a U-shaped cross section are provided opposite to each other before and after the cover, and the slide fastener 3 is located on both side parts 12. It is in the structure each provided in the both-sides part except. In the futon cover 1, the front part 10 and the rear part 11 of the cover peripheral part are closed by the sewing parts 5 and 6 in the width direction, respectively, and the left and right front parts that are the side parts 12 from the front part 10. The front part in the longitudinal direction of M and the left and right rear parts from the rear part 11 to both side parts 12, that is, the rear part in the longitudinal direction of reference numeral M are closed by sewing parts 7 and 8, respectively.

  More specifically, the futon cover 1 includes, for example, an upper cloth 2A and a lower cloth 2B as a structure of the cloth 2, and is formed in a rectangular bag shape with the cloths 2A and 2B being stacked. As shown in FIG. 3, the front and rear housing portions 13 and 14 that house the front and rear end portions of the futon 20 and the two slide fasteners 3 that open and close the intermediate portions of the both side portions 12 are provided. Reference numerals 5 and 6 denote sewing parts that connect the front edges or rear edges of the upper cloth 2A and the lower cloth 2B. Reference numerals 7 and 8 are sewing parts that connect the side edge 2a of the upper cloth 2A and the side edge 2b of the lower cloth 2 as shown in the enlarged part of FIG. The length M of each sewing part 7, 8 is preferably in the range of 10 to 15 cm. Each slide fastener 3 is located on both side portions 12 and is disposed between the front sewing portion 7 and the rear sewing portion 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a decorative sewing portion that is sewn in the width direction corresponding to the front storage portion 13 and the rear storage portion 14 in the upper cloth 2A. Reference numerals a to d denote connection lines between the upper cloth 2A and the lower cloth 2B.

  Here, the M value is set for the following phenomenon or reason. First, when the M value is shorter than 10 cm, the depth of the front storage portion 13 defined by the sewing portion 5 and the sewing portions 7 on both front sides becomes shallow. Restricting the front or rear end portion to move or positioning is insufficient. On the contrary, if the M value is longer than 15 cm, the depth of the front storage portion 13 will be deep, and when the front or rear end of the futon 20 is inserted when the futon 20 is stored and operated, the futon corner will cover. This is because they do not coincide with each other or are easily displaced, and the length of the slide fastener 3 is shortened as shown in FIG.

  The slide fastener 3 includes one fastener piece 3A attached along the side edge 2a of the upper cloth 2A and the lower cloth 2B side as shown in the enlarged portions of FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (c). It has the other fastener piece 3B attached along the edge 2b and the opening / closing member 4 for engaging and releasing the fastener pieces 3A and 3B. In this case, 3 A of fastener pieces are arrange | positioned inside via the folding | returning part 2c whose side edge 2a is comparatively long, and are attached by sewing along the upper side of this folding | turning part 2c. Reference numeral 15 denotes the sewing portion. The fastener piece 3B is attached by sewing along the inner folded portion of the side edge 2b. Reference numeral 16 denotes the sewing portion. In the above fastener mounting structure, the upper folded portion 2c is hung down to the outside of the fastener pieces 3A and 3B in the engaged state of both the fastener pieces 3A and 3B, thereby maintaining a good appearance.

(Usage example) FIG. 3 shows an operation example for storing a futon in the futon cover 1 described above. The operator first opens the futon cover 1 in the longitudinal direction and opens the slide fasteners 3 on both sides by the opening / closing members 4. Thereafter, both sides of the futon 20 are wound toward the front and rear intermediate portions, and an opening 18 is formed in the side portion 12 of the futon cover 1 by lifting the upper cloth 2A as shown in FIG. Since the opening 18 has both side portions 12 open via the slide fasteners 3, when the upper cloth 2 </ b> A is lifted, the upper cloth 2 </ b> A is evenly lifted in the width direction, so The tunnel is the same size. Therefore, the operator can easily dispose the futon 20 from the one-side opening 18 to the front and rear intermediate portion in the futon cover 1 in a state where both sides are wound.

  FIG. 3B shows a state where one side of the futon 20 placed in the futon cover 1 is unwound to the opposite side to the winding direction. In this state, the futon front part (rear part) is accommodated in the front accommodating part 13 (rear accommodating part 14) and restrained or positioned. FIG.3 (c) has shown the state which unfolded the futon rear part (front part) to the opposite side to the winding direction. That is, in these operations, it is only necessary to unwind one of the front and rear portions of the futon 20 and store it in the corresponding accommodating portion, and then to unwind the other and place it in the corresponding accommodating portion. Can be improved. FIG. 3D shows a storage completed state in which the slide fasteners 3 on both sides are closed via the opening / closing member 4. In addition, when taking out the futon 20 from the futon cover 1 again, it can carry out easily by reverse operation to the procedure mentioned above. In the above futon cover structure, the slide fasteners 3 are linear fasteners, so that they are less likely to fail than conventional L-shaped or U-shaped fasteners, and are attached to both sides of the periphery of the bag-like cover. Therefore, even if the futon front and back are reversed in the futon use state, there is no possibility of touching the fastener portion and giving a feeling of foreign matter.

  The modification shown in FIG. 4 assumes that the above futon cover structure is for kotatsu futon, and has a length L2 of about 250 cm and a width L1 of about 200 cm. In this description, the same reference numerals are given to the same members and parts as those in the above embodiment, and repeated descriptions are omitted as much as possible.

  When the futon cover 1A becomes considerably large like a kotatsu futon or a double futon, the lengths M1 of the left and right front portions and the left and right rear portions of the side portions 12 are increased so that the front accommodating portion 13 and the rear accommodating portion 14 are arranged. If it is not deepened, the futon-corresponding portion cannot be restrained or easily displaced, so the futon-side corresponding portions (usually loop portions provided at the corners) are hooked inside the front housing portion 13 and the rear housing portion 14. In this configuration, the attachment string 17 is provided. The attachment string 17 is sewn together with the corresponding sewing parts 5 and 7 or the sewing parts 6 and 8 as in the conventional case.

  The inventors of the present invention made the main part configuration of the above-mentioned form for futons having different sizes, and made the above-described M and M1 lengths of 10 to 15 cm to examine the futon storage property. As a result, as the futon cover 1A, when the length of the front and rear of the cover is 210 cm or more and the width is 190 cm or more, the attachment string 17 that is attached by sewing in the front and rear housing parts 13 and 14 and latches the futon side corresponding part. It turned out to be preferable.

  That is, the above-described attachment string 17 is provided in the front and rear storage portions 13 and 14 and is provided at a corner that is easily accessible when the slide fastener 3 is open, and the position of the stored futon can be regulated. . Especially when this point becomes large like a kotatsu futon or a double futon, the regulating action and positioning action of the front and rear housing parts 13 and 14 become insufficient. As a countermeasure, it is also effective to make the lengths M or M1 of the left and right front portions and the left and right rear portions of both side portions 12 of the bag-shaped cover longer than 15 cm. It becomes unstable because it does not coincide with the corresponding part of the housing part and is easy to play. This structure is devised to avoid such problems.

  The futon cover of the present invention only needs to substantially have the configuration specified in the claims, and details can be further changed with reference to each embodiment.
