Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a futon equipped with a built-in wavy pine surge device that uses air pressure to produce a pine surge effect, and has been devised to further improve the pine surge function. Concerning a futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device.

[Prior Art] Futons with a built-in wavy pine surge device made up of a plurality of bags have existed for a long time. It consists of a control device that incorporates an intake/exhaust sequential switching member that sequentially supplies air and a core compressor, and a connection cable that connects the fabric group and the control device. It was equipped with a corresponding number of ventilation pipes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of a conventional futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device, the same number of ventilation pipes as the number of bags that are the wavy pine surge device are arranged outside the futon as connecting cables. There was a risk of someone stepping on or tripping over this ventilation pipe. Furthermore, inside the futon, the distribution pipes made of flexible hoses such as rubber that connect the plurality of bags and the connection cables have somewhat acute angular paths because there is no space to arrange them with enough space. Although the pipe is inserted through a hole drilled in a cushion material made of synthetic resin foam, a portion of the distribution pipe sometimes becomes bent due to the load of the human body.

Even if the ventilation pipe or distribution pipe is made of a plastic material such as rubber, if it is deformed beyond its elastic limit, the ventilation cross section of the ventilation pipe or distribution pipe will be narrowed, and the air from the air compressor will not be able to flow sufficiently. Therefore, the bag connected to the ventilation pipe or distribution pipe cannot be fully inflated, and among the multiple bags, this bag is the only one where the pine surge becomes loose and can cause damage to the user's entire body. In some cases, it has become impossible to achieve a uniform wavy pine surge effect.

In addition, during the winter, a thermal heater, electric blanket, electric hot spring, etc. may be used inside the futon, but if there is no power outlet near the futon, the futon should be placed near the power outlet. However, depending on the room, it may be difficult to move the futon, and even if it is possible to move the futon, the futon may be placed in a position that is not normally desired. It is intolerable for users to be forced to leave their devices unattended. Additionally, although it is possible to use an extension cord from the power outlet, it is not preferable to run the extension cord near the futon because there is a risk that the cord will be tripped on when getting up.

[Means for solving the problem] The problem as described above is that the bag consists of a plurality of bags, and among the plurality of bags, the first bag in the direction of the user's feet inflates first, and then the bag is not used. When the second bag in the shoulder and neck direction starts to inflate, the air in the first bag starts to escape.The wavy pinsurge is performed sequentially in one direction in the shoulder and neck direction, or in a reciprocating motion. In a futon with a built-in container,
A plurality of distribution pipes having one end connected to the plurality of bags, an intake/exhaust sequential switching member formed by connecting the other ends of the distribution pipes, and supplying power and air to the intake/exhaust sequential switching member. An input box having a connector is disposed at a side end of the cloth body, and a connection is provided to detachably connect the cloth body to a controller having a built-in air compressor for supplying air to the cloth body. The cable is solved by a futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device, which is characterized by integrally forming one ventilation pipe and an electric wire.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, the entire system of the futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. It is composed of a connection cable 4. The cloth body 2 has an ion electric bed band 9 built-in at a location corresponding to the foot direction,

It can be attached to and detached from the box 5 as appropriate, and supplies air and power from the controller 3 to the cloth body 2. Further, in the connection cable 4, if the connector on the side connected to the input box 5 of the cloth body 2 is L-shaped, it is convenient for the connection cable 4 to run along the side edge of the cloth body 2.

As another embodiment of the connection cable 4, as shown in FIG. It is integrally formed of flexible synthetic rubber or the like.

[Function] The function of the present invention will be explained based on the futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device according to the above embodiment.

First, regarding the pine surge function, as shown in FIG. 7a
...It is fed into only one of the 7h bags in the order of arrangement (a, b, c...) and inflated into a roughly cylindrical shape to compress the human body, while the other bags are used with the pressure released. It naturally contracts due to the weight of the person. As a result, for the user, the inflated bag body moves back and forth, and the motor (not shown) built in the intake/exhaust sequential switching member 6 adjusts the breathing interval of the human being. In total, each cycle rotates at a slow, constant speed of about 35 seconds, which relieves the user's tension and allows the user to enjoy the same effect as a roller pine surger, etc., in a softer, safer manner.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, by housing the intake/exhaust sequential switching member 6 in the cloth body 2,
A plurality of bags 7a...7h from the intake/exhaust sequential switching member 6
It is possible to house all the distribution pipes 8a...8h that insert air into the cloth body 2, and the controller 3
The ventilation pipe 12 of the connection cable 4 that sends air from the compressor inside to the intake/exhaust sequential switching member 6 inside the fabric group 2 is not necessary for the number of plural bags, but only one. . Furthermore, the flexible distribution pipes 8a to 8h made of rubber or the like are arranged with sufficient space within the wooden frame 10 at the side end of the fabric group 2 without being subjected to external force, and are connected from this wooden frame 10 to each bag body. Since the piping is arranged in a straight line, there is no risk that the distribution pipe 8 as a whole will be affected by elastic deformation.

Next, regarding the ion therapy function, as shown in FIG. This is done by supplying ions to negatively charge the user's body.

By arranging the power outlet 15 in the input box 5 on the side end surface of the cloth 2, the power outlet 15 can be used when using a hot heater or the like inside the futon. There is no need to find a power outlet or use an extension cable.

Furthermore, regarding the connection cable 4, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, a single flexible ventilation pipe 1 is used.
By bringing a plurality of electric wires 17 close to 6 and integrally forming them with synthetic rubber or the like, the ventilation pipe 16 and the electric wire 1
7 increases the rigidity of each other, and prevents the ventilation pipe 16 from bending and making it difficult to pass air, and also prevents the electric wire 17 from breaking due to repeated bending.

Note that the means for integrally forming the ventilation pipe 16 and the electric wire 17 include, in addition to integral molding, any type of integration such as integration with adhesive, integration with a tightening connector such as a band, integration with fitting, etc. Means may also be used.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the futon with a built-in wavy pine surge device according to the present invention, the intake/exhaust sequential switching member is disposed on the cloth body, and the connection cable connecting the cloth body and the controller is connected to one By integrally forming the ventilation pipe and the electric wire, the connection cable has a superior appearance compared to conventional connection cables that have multiple ventilation pipes, and it also connects to the side of the cloth body in an organized manner. Because you can run the cable,
In addition to eliminating the risk of tripping over or stepping on the connection cable when waking up, the mutually increased rigidity of the ventilation pipe and electric wire prevents constriction of the ventilation pipe and breakage of the electric wire due to repeated bending of the connection cable. This is effective in preventing risks.

Furthermore, the plurality of distribution pipes, which in the past were easily inserted through the cushion material of the cloth bundle in a complicated manner and were easily affected by external forces, were housed with enough room in the wooden frame provided at the end of the cloth bundle. This eliminates the possibility of plastic deformation caused by external force, and all the bags expand uniformly, making it possible to stably supply uniform pine surge to the user over a long period of time.

In addition, by installing a power outlet for connecting external devices in the input box on the side edge of the futon, when using a heater etc. inside the futon,
There is no need to shift the position of the futon or use an extension cord so that the power plug of the heater, etc. can reach the power outlet in the room, and it is now possible to use the heater, etc. extremely easily.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the reliability of the connecting cable is increased by increasing the mutual rigidity of the ventilation pipe and the electric wire, and the possibility of plastic deformation of the distribution pipe due to external force is eliminated, so that it can be used. It is now possible to apply a uniform wavy pine surge effect to the patient without loosening the wavy pine surge effect in one part, thereby relieving stiffness in the muscles of the whole body, relieving fatigue, promoting blood circulation, etc., and stably providing sufficient pine surge effects for a long period of time. It is possible to demonstrate this.
