Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a bed mat suitable for use as a so-called health mat.

(Prior Art) Various types of mats of this type are commercially available, including those in which a large number of stick-shaped mats are arranged in parallel, and mats in the form of blinds. Also, as an invention, for example, Jikko 52
-5692 etc. are publicly known.

(Technical issue) The above-mentioned idea is a sheet made by arranging short tubes in front, back, left, and right, but because the ends of adjacent short tubes are not connected, a gap is created between them, and a part of the body is inserted into the sheet. Sometimes it gets in. In addition, the short tube is made of a hard material, is short, and has strong independence, so the shape rigidity of each tube has a moderate effect, so it is suitable for those who prefer a large, rolling sensation.

On the other hand, the present invention has many pipes arranged in parallel to form the mat body, but it is more flexible, the stimulation is dispersed by finer unevenness, and it does not cause pressure sores or congestion. The purpose of the present invention is to provide bedding mats with good properties.

(Technical Means) The object is to form a pipe 1 having a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape and a hollow interior from a relatively flexible synthetic resin, and to form a pipe 1 with a large number of recesses 2 and protrusions on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 1. A large number of pipes 1 are arranged in parallel so that the longitudinal direction of the pipes 1 corresponds to the width direction of the mat main body M, and each All pipes 1... leaving room for each constituent pipe to move independently.
This is achieved by bedding mats connected by connecting means 5 in the transverse direction.

(Example) Referring to the drawings below, a hollow pipe 1 is constructed by connecting pipes 1 which are open at both ends and shorter than the width of the mat main body M with male and female fitting parts 8 and 9 at the ends. It's wide. Therefore, the width of the mat main body M can be set freely.

The pipe 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 has an irregular cross-sectional shape in which a trapezoidal upper half is combined with a substantially circular lower half (FIG. 5), so that the upper surface contact portion 4 has a slightly protruding flat surface 6, and the lower contact portion 4 has an arcuate convex surface 11, so two types of contact portions, flat and convex, can be selected with one mat. 12 indicates a fitting positioning projection. In addition to the above-mentioned cross-sectional shapes, circular (FIG. 6) and rectangular (FIG. 7) cross-sectional shapes can also be used.

Since the illustrated pipe 1 has a bellows tube structure, the outer circumferential surface is made up of a large number of concave portions 2 and convex portions 3. Therefore, the contact portion 4 is not just a flat surface 6 or a convex surface 11, but has a structure of a collection of minute convexities and convexities. be. Therefore, the body is distributed and supported on this countless uneven structure, and the stimulation acts as a collection of small stimulations received from each point. Note that such a pipe 1 can be a relatively flexible molded product made of resin such as low-density polyethylene, and for example, the pitch of the unevenness is 10 mm for a pipe diameter of 15 to 40 mm.
It is better if the proportion of the convex portions 3 is greater than the concave portions 2, and less discomfort will be felt.

The connecting means 5 connects the required number of pipes 1 in the transverse direction, and uses a string-like object to allow each of the component pipes 1 to move independently in the connected state, and is a pipe through which this is passed. The connecting hole has a small diameter in the center and a double taper hole 7 with a large diameter at both open ends. This string may be non-stretchable, and retainers 13 are provided at both ends.

The mat main body M has a cover 1 that covers it entirely.
Can be used with 0. The cover 10 is not essential, and can be removed when it is not needed, such as during the summer. 14 is a zipper for opening and closing the side part. Also, cover 10 in winter etc.
You can also place a blanket, etc. inside.

(Functions and Effects) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, air can freely flow in and out from both sides of the pipe 1, providing good ventilation, preventing stuffiness caused by body temperature, and being flexible, making it comfortable to use. The contact portion 4 supports the body in a planar manner and in a dispersed manner through the countless concave portions 2 and convex portions 3. Therefore, stimulation is not concentrated in one place,
It disperses and acts on relaxation.

In addition, since each pipe 1 can move independently, it conforms well to the body and easily follows the body movements.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a bedding mat that does not cause bedsores or congestion and has good air permeability.
