Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention is applicable to people who require assistance due to mental retardation, bedridden elderly people, dementia patients, etc. (hereinafter referred to as target persons), or for commercial use. Rearrangeable bed mats or futons for incontinence (including sweat, drool, saliva, food and drink spills, etc. that are mainly associated with water, but typical examples include incontinence or incontinence) or deodorizing mats A sheet method and a deodorizing bed mat or futon.

``Prior art'' The conventional mat sheet method for incontinence and deodorization involves laying an activated carbon-impregnated sheet or activated carbon-coated sheet on top of a pet mat, and then placing a sheet made of cloth or the like on top of the activated carbon-impregnated sheet, etc. A mat sheet method (hereinafter referred to as the former) in which a sheet (hereinafter simply referred to as a cloth sheet) is laid down, or an incontinence sheet such as a vinyl sheet or rubber sheet is laid on top of the bed mat, and the top surface is The vinyl sheet method (hereinafter referred to as the latter), which uses cloth sheets, has been adopted. On the other hand, for beds in hotels, etc., a so-called mat sheet method is used, in which a mat sheet is placed on top of the bed mat, and a cloth sheet is placed on top of that. ``Problem to be solved by the invention'' In the former case, incontinence often penetrates not only the cloth sheet but also the pet mat or futon. In such cases, it is very difficult to replace wet cloth sheets, etc., and it is also necessary to dry the futon in the sun, which is also a difficult task. Many first-class workers (hereinafter collectively referred to as the former) complain of back pain.

If it is not possible to replace everything, the cloth sheets and futons are usually replaced, and the bed mat is often in its original condition.If incontinence occurs repeatedly, all objects, walls, etc. in the hospital room or treatment room will be damaged. The odor transfers and a strange odor spreads throughout the room. Therefore, for those in the former category, being able to develop the aforementioned strange smell is a necessary condition.
This is really not good. On the other hand, in the case of the latter, there is an advantage that only a small amount of the cloth sheet on top of the vinyl sheet will get wet even if the person incontinence incontinence occurs, but the vinyl sheet is stiff and difficult to lay. In addition, if you feel stuffy or have difficulty sleeping, or even if you turn over and move slightly, your futon or cloth sheet may slip off, making it difficult for you to sleep safely and mentally. In particular, there are problems such as the possibility of having a negative impact on people with mental retardation. Furthermore, after incontinence, it becomes sticky and discolored, making it especially difficult.

Based on the above, the method of using vinyl sheets and the like is considered to be relatively effective in treating incontinence itself, but it is currently not widely used.

Furthermore, conventional activated carbon does not maintain its suction properties and loses its function relatively quickly, making it impossible to use it for a long time. For this reason, the current situation is that the results are not sufficiently high despite the expense and effort that goes into it, and the former people in the field are
At present, we are struggling to find countermeasures. Moreover, the cost required for cleaning it is also a considerable burden.

On the other hand, in beds used for commercial purposes, the body odor of guests
It may transfer to the bed mat and make the next guest feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, depending on the situation, we have to replace the bed mats, or we have to specially lay down a special mat sheet and replace this mat sheet every day, which is a lot of work and is economically costly. This is not a small number.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention efficiently absorbs the bad effects and odors caused by incontinence even when incontinence occurs, and improves the environment such as a hospital room, reduces overwork of the former person, and improves health management. In order to achieve this, after a bed mat or futon is laid down, the chemical activity and adsorption properties of ultrafine amorphous carbon and the catalyst of metal atoms are added to the bed mat or futon for the purpose of large odor absorption and deodorization. A pet mat or futon made by laying a deodorizing urethane foam equipped with active ingredients, laying a large incontinence sheet on top of the deodorizing urethane foam, and then laying a cloth sheet on top of the incontinence sheet. Mat sheets are used for incontinence or deodorization. Furthermore, even if incontinence occurs, it can be prevented to the minimum by preventing it from becoming spherical or being adsorbed to night clothes, cloth sheets, etc. and reaching the bed mat, for example. In addition, in order to ensure a rough sensation when simply wiping incontinence marks, a drug-free material that is flexible, breathable, and water-based is used on top of the deodorizing urethane foam. An incontinence sheet and a cloth sheet on top of this incontinence sheet lol
The bed mat or futon is a mat sheet system for incontinence or deodorization.

In addition, in order to improve breathability and prevent stuffiness on the head or futon, and to prevent the cloth sheet from shifting even when turning over, we added a flexible layer on top of the urethane foam.
It is constructed by using an incontinence sheet that is breathable, water repellent, non-drug-containing, and has a special fiber structure, and a cloth sheet is placed on top of the incontinence sheet.

Furthermore, in order to make it comfortable even when lying down on the head without getting stiff, and to make it easier to lay the cloth sheet, we have added flexibility to the deodorizing urethane foam.
When installing a drug-free incontinence sheet that is breathable and water repellent, the dimensions of the incontinence sheet are made considerably larger than the dimensions of the deodorizing urethane foam, and the upper surface of the deodorizing urethane foam is Additionally, the back edge of the bed or futon is covered with an incontinence sheet. In particular, in the present invention, in order to prevent the transfer of odors to various objects, equipment, walls, etc. in the hospital room, etc., and to ensure a comfortable hospital room, etc.,
The incontinence sheet uses deodorizing urethane foam that has sufficient breathability in one stroke, has excellent odor absorption and deodorizing effects, and can ensure the sustainability of the above effects. It has a structure that combines the characteristics of a new carbon material that combines the breathability, chemical activity and absorption properties of ultrafine non-porous carbon impregnated with urethane foam, and the catalytic activity of metal atoms.

Therefore, it has a strong deodorizing function that ensures the sustainability of the chemical activity and absorbency. Maximize the functional characteristics of this deodorizing urethane foam.

In addition, in the present invention, in order to prevent the transfer of body odor to the bed mat or futon or the accumulation of odor, a chemically active and adsorbent material is added to the top surface of the base material constituting the bed mat or futon for the purpose of deodorization. A deodorizing urethane foam impregnated with a carbon material having a carbon material is laid down, and this base material and the deodorizing urethane foam are covered with fabric. "Action" Hereinafter referred to as the present invention. Effects (incontinence condition and how to deal with it)
Explain.

First, to explain how to make incontinence or deodorizing mat sheets, a pet mat or futon is placed on the bed, floor, tatami surface, etc., and then a deodorizing product is placed on top of the bed mat or futon. For this purpose, we will install a deodorizing urethane foam that has the chemical activity and adsorption properties of ultrafine particle quality carbon and the catalytic activity of metal atoms. Next, a drug-free incontinence sheet with flexibility, breathability, and water repellency is placed on top of the deodorizing urethane foam, and then a cloth sheet is placed on top of this incontinence sheet. As a result, a bed or futon is laid out, on which the subject lies down with the assistance of the former person. For example, assuming that you have incontinence, this small water will be guarded by an incontinence sheet that has watery fluid properties, and will not penetrate below this incontinence sheet, that is, into the bed mat or futon, or even the floor surface, tatami surface, etc. This small amount of water is then absorbed by the cloth sheet or nightgown located above the incontinence sheet. Therefore, the former person only has to change the nightgown or incontinence sheet, which is very useful. It also greatly contributes to a significant reduction in the number and costs of cleaning, as well as to simplifying, speeding up, and saving labor in nursing care. It also has the effect of virtually eliminating large-scale incontinence procedures such as repairing tatami mats. In addition, the odor (usually ammonia) generated by incontinence sheets is
Through the air permeability of this incontinence sheet, the odor is immediately absorbed by the deodorizing urethane foam, and the chemical activity and odor absorbing properties of the ultrafine carbon particles that adsorb metal ions contained therein, as well as the catalyst l of metal atoms. Its antiquated function instantly absorbs unpleasant odors generated by small water and prevents them from spreading to the surrounding area.

In this case, if the incontinence sheet is used to cover the upper part of the deodorizing urethane foam and the edge of the bed or futon, it will be possible to prevent small water from penetrating into the bed mat or floor surface. Become. Furthermore, since this incontinence sheet has appropriate flexibility and is breathable as mentioned above, the subject is very comfortable to sleep on, ensuring good sleep and mental stability. .

Next, to explain in detail about so-called deodorizing bed mats or futons in which deodorizing urethane foam is integrated into bed mats or futons, there is a In the case of a deodorizing bed mat or futon that is constructed by laying deodorizing urethane foam impregnated with a carbon material with chemical activity and adsorption properties, and covering this base material and deodorizing urethane foam with a cloth sheet. The odor of a person lying on this bed mat or futon passes through the cloth sheet and is absorbed directly by this deodorizing urethane foam, so the human constitution does not leave any residue on this bed mat, etc. There is no need to replace the cloth sheets, etc., and it is only necessary to replace the cloth sheets, which is very convenient and useful, and can greatly contribute to the ease of room management and cost reduction.

Similarly, it is also possible to use this deodorizing urethane foam as an overlay mat for bed mats or futons, etc. Specifically, this deodorizing urethane foam or futon etc. can be covered with a cloth sheet. do. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to replace the pet mat, futon, overlay mat, mat stand, blanket, etc. each time as in the past, which is very useful. It also has various effects similar to those described above.

The deodorizing urethane foam can be washed and can be used for about two years under normal use.
