Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mat used as bedding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mat of this type has used a sponge, cotton, feathers, cork grains, or a mixture thereof as a filler.

However, if the mat filled with the above-mentioned filling material is used for a long period of time, the mat itself is apt to become unsanitary due to the unpleasant odor caused by sweat and body odor. There was a risk that the bacteria would parasitize and that germs such as mold would be generated. Therefore, a deodorant and an antibacterial agent are included in the filling material filled in the mat, and cotton or the like which absorbs sweat or the like is used as the material of the sheet bag constituting the mat.

[0004]

However, the agents such as deodorants and antibacterial agents contained in the filler itself constituting the mat cannot maintain their effects over a long period of time. Its effect was usually lost over time. Also, if the sheet bag is made of cotton cloth, etc., pressing the sheet bag strongly causes the absorbed moisture to seep out,
What made me feel uncomfortable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mat which can maintain deodorizing, moisture absorbing, and antibacterial effects for a long period of time.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the mat according to the present invention has a structure in which a sheet bag formed by stacking fabrics on each other is filled with charcoal pieces.

A sheet bag formed by stacking fabrics on top of each other is filled with a hygroscopic fabric piece such as cotton and a charcoal piece mixed therein.

Further, a sheet bag formed by stacking fabrics on top of each other is sewn over the front and back to form a plurality of internal voids, and charcoal pieces are placed in the internal voids formed by the entanglement. It is configured by filling.

The charcoal piece has a porous structure,
The surface area is as large as about 1500 to 1800 m ² per gram, and generally has excellent moisture absorption, deodorization and antibacterial effects. In addition to this, the charcoal pieces that have absorbed moisture will not seep out the absorbed moisture even if pressure is applied from the outside. If it is dried in the sun, the absorbed moisture will evaporate and the charcoal pieces will dry.

[0010]

In the mat of the present invention constructed as described above, the charcoal pieces are used for the filling, and the charcoal pieces have hygroscopicity, antibacterial property, safety for human body and durability for these effects. It has excellent characteristics. For example, in a hot and humid environment such as in summer, when this is used, the charcoal piece absorbs moisture due to the sweating effect of the body, and with it,
It also absorbs offensive odors and, in addition, prevents the development of germs.

Further, since the sheet bag formed by stacking the fabrics on top of each other is filled with the hygroscopic fabric pieces and the charcoal pieces in a mixed manner, when the mat itself gets wet with sweat or the like, it absorbs moisture. The piece of fabric quickly absorbs moisture such as sweat. Then, the charcoal piece in contact with the cloth piece absorbs the absorbed moisture through the cloth piece.

Further, a sheet bag formed by stacking fabrics on top and bottom is sewn over the front and back to form a plurality of internal voids, and the charcoal pieces are placed in the internal voids formed by the entanglement. Since it is configured by filling,
The charcoal pieces are not biased to one side, and in addition, irregularities are formed in each of these compartments, which stimulates the acupuncture points such as the shoulders, waist, and feet during sleep.

In the figure, reference numeral 3 is an upper cloth, and 4 is a lower cloth. The upper and lower fabrics 3 and 4 which are overlapped are sewn together with the sewing portion 2 which is sewn along the longitudinal direction from the approximate center of the short side.
In addition to forming a, a plurality of stitched portions 2b are formed by stitching the long sides of the upper and lower cloths 3 and 4 along the short side at predetermined intervals. The sewn-together portions 2a and 2b thus formed define a plurality of internal voids orthogonal to the substantially longitudinal direction.

Among the plurality of internal voids partitioned and formed as described above, cotton 6 is placed in the internal voids located at both ends in the longitudinal direction.
Only filled. Then, the other internal voids are filled with the charcoal pieces 5 and the cotton 6. The cotton 6 to be filled together with the charcoal pieces 5 is filled after the charcoal pieces 5 are filled to some extent and subsequently filled.

As a result, cotton 6 is filled on the peripheral side of the mat 1 and charcoal pieces 5 are filled on the inside. Cotton 6 on the peripheral side
, The charcoal pieces 5 can be easily sewn without interfering with the overlapping peripheral edges. The mat 1 sewn in this way is stored in the velvet mat cover 8 for use.

Charcoal pieces 5 filled in the above-mentioned mat 1
In Example 1, the Bincho charcoal of Kishu is used, and this Bincho charcoal of Kishu has excellent hygroscopicity, antibacterial properties, etc., and also has a long-lasting effect and an appropriate hardness. It is also harmless to the human body.

When the mat 1 filled with the charcoal pieces 5 is used in a hot and humid environment such as in the summer, it effectively absorbs the moisture generated by the sweating action of the body and, together with this, the offensive odor. It is also possible to prevent the occurrence of bacteria and various fungi over a long period of time.

When the charcoal pieces 5 are filled in a plurality of internal voids of the sheet bag 2, the surface of the sheet bag 2 rises and an uneven surface is formed. This uneven surface presses and stimulates the waist, shoulders, and foot pots.

That is, when the mat 1 according to the first embodiment is used, it is possible to prevent stickiness and offensive odor due to moisture such as sweat, and also to breed various germs, mites and the like. Prevents and can be comfortably used for a long time. Moreover, the uneven surface on the surface of the mat 1 stimulates the pot of the body, so that a more comfortable sleep can be obtained.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, reference numeral 11 is an upper cloth and 12 is a lower cloth. Top and bottom fabric 1
1 and 12 are sewn together at their peripheral portions,
The mat portion 10 is sewn so as to intersect with each other in an oblique direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mat 10 to form a sewn portion 13. A pleat is formed on the sewn portion 13, and a plurality of internal cavities are defined. In this way, the cotton 6 and the charcoal piece 5 are filled in the internal space partitioned and formed.

Since a large number of internal voids are defined by the sewn-in portion 13 in the mat 10 having the above-described structure, even if the filled charcoal pieces 5 are small, they are used. The charcoal piece 5 does not shift to one side of the mat 10 on the way.

Since the charcoal pieces 5 and the cotton 6 are mixed, the cotton 6 quickly absorbs the moisture when the mat 10 is humidified by sweat or the like. Then, the charcoal piece 5 that is in contact with the cloth piece that has absorbed the moisture absorbs the humidity that the cloth piece has absorbed. As a result, the charcoal piece 5 can efficiently absorb moisture such as sweat and offensive odors.

Incidentally, it goes without saying that the mat 10 of Example 2 has the hygroscopicity, deodorizing property, and antibacterial property described in the mat 10 of Example 1. Reference numeral 14 in the figure is a convex surface formed by filling the charcoal pieces 5 and the cotton 6 in the inner space.

In the first embodiment, the charcoal piece 5 used has a diameter of about 10 mm, and in the second embodiment, it is about 5 mm.
I am using something of a degree. It is preferable that the size of the charcoal piece 5 to be used is the one that is suitable for the person who uses it and that is suitable for the user.

Further, the charcoal pieces 5 of Examples 1 and 2 use Bincho charcoal of Kishu, but the charcoal pieces 5 used are not limited to Bincho charcoal. The Bincho charcoal used is obtained by steaming Ubamegashi tree at approximately 300 degrees for a long time and then subjecting it to the aiming step.
