Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a futon dryer, and more particularly to an air mat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an air mat for a futon dryer, it is used as an air mat for the purpose of expanding the use of the futon other than drying the futon.
-136489 to make a bag with a non-breathable sheet and to form a warm air outlet that can also be opened and closed to open and close clothes and to dry clothes, or a breathable sheet as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 55-136492. There is a bag-like one in which an opening portion that can be opened and closed is formed on the side facing the warm air inflow portion, and the user's body is inserted through the opening portion for heating.

[0003]

It is not known to use a futon dryer as a heater especially when sleeping.

In order to use it as a heater, warming one's feet provides healthy and comfortable sleep.

However, none of the conventional ones is configured for sleeping.

Therefore, the present invention has an object to obtain a healthy and comfortable sleep by using a futon dryer at the time of sleeping.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A main body in which a blower device and a heating element are installed, a hose that guides blown air from the blower device, and a breathable air mat is locked at the tip of the hose, and the air mat can be opened and closed freely. In a futon dryer that is provided with various openings, the air mat is provided with an opening that can be opened and closed in the vicinity of the hose engaging portion of the air mat and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of air flow.

Further, if the openings are provided up to the vicinity of both ends of the air mat, and the openings are provided on both front and back surfaces, more effective air blowing can be performed.

[0009]

When sleeping, the air mat of the present invention is inserted between the comforter and the mattress, the opening of the air mat is opened, the bed is laid on the air mat, and the air is blown from the body to the feet.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an air mat of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is the entire air mat, 2 is a hot air inflow portion, 3a is an opening / closing tool (a fastener or the like) for opening and closing the opening 3, and 4 is a magic tape. Here, the opening / closing tool (fastener, etc.) 3a is one side of the air mat 1,
It is provided in the vicinity of the warm air inflow portion 2 so that it can be opened and closed up to the vicinity of both ends of the air mat 1 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the hot air inflow direction. The magic tape 4 is an air mat 1 and a hose 6.
It is for detachably attaching.

FIG. 2 is a use state diagram when the air mat 1 of the present invention is used for drying a futon, and FIG. 3 is a use state diagram for blowing air to the feet of the user 9 using the air mat 1. As shown in FIG. 2, when the futon is dried, the air mat 1 is placed between the quilt 7 and the comforter 8 with the opening / closing tool (fastener or the like) 3a closed, and the warm air inflow portion 2 is attached to the hose 6 with the magic tape 4. The hose 6 is attached to one end, and the other end of the hose 6 is press-fitted and held in the warm air outlet 5a of the futon dryer body 5.

When the futon dryer main body 5 is turned on with the above-mentioned structure, the air warmed by the heater (not shown) provided in the futon dryer main body 5 is similarly blown by the blower (not shown) provided therein. The warm air inflow portion 2 blows air into the air mat 1.
Since the air mat 1 is made of a cloth or the like having a required air permeability, warm air is blown from the inside of the air mat 1 to the outside mattress 7 and the comforter 8 to dry the mattress.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the air is blown to the feet,
With the opening / closing tools (fasteners, etc.) 3a of the air mat 1 open, the opening / closing tools (fasteners, etc.) 3a are placed on the quilt 7 with the quilt 8 side, and the warm air inflow part 2 and the futon drying are performed in the same manner as described above. The machine body 5 is connected via a hose 6.

When the futon dryer main body 5 is turned on in the state shown in FIG. 3 in the above-mentioned configuration, the same flow as described above is used, and the wind introduced from the warm air inflow part 2 of the air mat 1 is opened / closed by fasteners (fasteners) 3
The air is blown out from the opening a and is blown to the feet of the user 9.

The state that the heater is turned on and the OF in the futon dryer
If a changeover switch is provided for the F state, warm air can be sent in winter and cool air can be sent in summer, so that comfortable sleeping can be obtained.

Further, by providing a timer, it is possible to stop blowing air after going to sleep and, on the contrary, to blow air at dawn.

With the air mat 1 of the present invention, a mattress 7 is used.
Since it can be used while being laid on top of it, there is no need to store it each time it is used, unlike the conventional futon dryer, and it is excellent in terms of use.

The reason why the opening / closing tool (fastener or the like) 3a is widened to the vicinity of both ends of the air mat 1 is to prevent the foot of the user 9 from blocking the entire opening 3.

If the opening 3 with the opening / closing tool 3a is also provided on the back surface of the air mat 1 as shown in FIG. 4, more immediate effect can be obtained.

[0020]

By using the mat of the present invention,
You can easily and effectively blow air to your feet by not only drying the futon but also opening and closing the fasteners (fasteners, etc.), so you can get comfortable sleep.

Further, since the mat can be used while being laid, the labor for storing and expanding the mat can be saved.

By providing the openings up to the vicinity of both ends of the air mat, it is possible to effectively blow air without blocking the entire opening with the user's foot.

Further, by providing the openings on both sides of the air mat, immediate effect can be obtained.
