BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a futon compression method and apparatus.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Futon compression bags that utilize air suction have been known as a means for compressing and storing futons.

[0003] This type of futon compression bag is made of a heat-fusible synthetic resin sheet with an opening for putting in and taking out the futon and an air suction port. After storing the futon, the opening for taking it in and out is sealed by heat-sealing it with an iron, then the air inside the bag is sucked through the air suction port to reduce the size of the bag and the compression bag, and then the air suction port is closed. This is done by heat-sealing with an iron and sealing the compression bag.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the futon compression bag that is sealed using the above procedure, when the access opening and air suction port are heat-sealed by ironing, even the slightest wrinkles may appear in the opening or suction port. If this occurs, uniform fusion will not be possible,
There is a problem that a completely sealed state cannot be obtained.

[0005] Furthermore, if the futon compression bag comes into contact with something and a small hole such as a pinhole is formed on the surface, the airtightness of the bag will be lost and air will enter the inside of the compression bag in a short period of time. However, I had a problem with the futon expanding a lot.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a compression method and apparatus capable of stably maintaining the contracted state of a futon for a long period of time.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the compression method of the present invention includes storing a futon in a compression bag,
After compressing and shrinking the futon by sucking the air inside the compression bag, a method was adopted in which the outer periphery of the compression bag was secured using a securing means.

Further, the compression device of the present invention has a structure including a compression bag having an opening for taking in and taking out a futon and an air suction port, and a lashing means for lashing the outer periphery of the compression bag.

[0009]

[Operation] According to the above means, by tying down the outer periphery of the compression bag in which the futon is compressed, the futon is prevented from expanding even if air enters the compression bag, and the reduced state can be maintained for a long period of time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a state in which a futon is compressed by the compression method and device of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional front view thereof.

As shown in these figures, the futon compression device of the embodiment includes a futon compression bag 1, a storage bag 2 for storing a plurality of the compression bags 1 in a stacked manner, and the outer periphery of the storage bag 2 is secured. In this case, the storage bag 2 and the lashing string 3 constitute the lashing means for the compression bag.

As shown in FIG. 3, the futon compression bag 1 is made of a rectangular bag body 5 made of a synthetic resin sheet made by laminating multiple layers of thin films such as nylon and polyethylene to have heat sealability and high airtightness. One side of the bag body 5 is opened to form an opening 6 for taking in and out the futon, and an air suction port 7 is provided on the opposite side of the opening 6.

In this compression bag, as shown in FIG. 4, after the futon A is stored inside the bag, the opening 6 is folded back and the folded part is ironed and heat-sealed. Insert the vacuum cleaner pipe and suck out the air inside the bag. When air is sucked until the futon is sufficiently shrunk, the suction port 7 is folded back, an iron is applied over it to heat seal it, and then a clip 8 is held at the base of the suction port 7 to seal it.

On the other hand, the storage bag 2 for storing the compression bag 1 is formed by providing a bag made of a strong sheet with an opening 9 for putting in and taking out the compression bag, which is opened and closed with a zipper or the like. A coarse woven cloth with a non-slip surface, such as a futon bag, is used.

By storing the compression bags 1 in such a storage bag 2, it is possible to stably stack a large number of compression bags 1 with slippery surfaces, and the storage bags 2
protects the compression bag and prevents damage caused by rubbing or impact, thereby preventing accidents such as pinholes and other perforations on the surface of the compression bag. Furthermore, when the futon is compressed as shown in FIG. 3, a large excess portion 10 is formed around the periphery of the compression bag 1 where the film adheres, but when the compression bags 1 are stacked inside the storage bag 2, as shown in FIG. As the excess portion 10 of the compression bag 1 is folded and stored, there is an effect that the bag can be stored compactly.

Furthermore, the lashing string 3 is formed by attaching a tightening device 4 to a strong tape 11 such as a synthetic resin tape or paper tape to connect the tape at a predetermined position, and is similar to conventional packing tape or the like. is used.

As shown in FIG. 5, the above-mentioned tightening device 4 consists of a ring member 12 and a locking piece 13 integrally molded from high-strength synthetic resin, and one end 11a of the tape 11 is fixed to the ring member 12. Then, the other end 11b of the looped tape 11 is passed over the locking piece 13 from below to be attached. In this fastening tool 4, when the end 11b of the tape 11 hung on the locking piece 13 is pulled, the loop of the string becomes smaller and can be smoothly made to a predetermined fastening diameter, and in this state, inside the tape, When pressure is applied from the inside to the outside of the loop due to the tied futon, the locking piece 13 and the ring member 12
The tape 11 is caught between the strings and the movement of the string is fixed. After tying in this way, cut off the excess end of the string.

In the embodiment having the above structure, as shown in FIG. 1, a futon A is stored in a compression bag 1, compressed and reduced, and a plurality of the compression bags 1 are stacked and stored in a storage bag 2. Then, the outer circumference of the storage bag 2 is tied with a plurality of lashing strings 3.
Secure with.

As a result, even if air enters the compression bag 1 due to poor heat sealing or pinholes, the expansion of the futon A is prevented by the storage bag 2 and the lashing strings 3, so that the futon remains in its contracted state. is maintained.

[0020] Note that the futon can only be tied down using the lashing string 3.
Alternatively, this may be done using only the storage bag 2, or other types of securing means such as a net may be used.

[0021]

[Effects] As described above, in this invention, after the futon is compressed with the compression bag, it is tied down with the lashing means.
This has the effect of stably maintaining the compressed state of the futon even if air enters the inside of the compression bag.
