JPH08196389A - Cushion mat - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily manufacture a mat having the capability of generating a massaging effect and a finger-pressure therapy effect. CONSTITUTION: Two gas permeable sheets 21 and 22 are superposed on top of each other, and connected along a parallel line, thereby forming bag section 4 adjacent to each other. A cushion material 5 is a hollow tube made of ball shells 6 continuous to each other, and inserted in each section 4. According to this construction, a stimulus action for the human body is generated, due to the ball shells 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cushion mat used for a bedding, a seat, a backrest and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that a mat cushion material is made of a sponge having an uneven surface, and the uneven surface causes elasticity and irritation to a human body to generate a massage effect or an acupressure effect. . Also known is a mat in which countless short pipes made of plastic are stitched together with threads in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

However, the above-mentioned sponge-made product has poor air permeability and poor drying property when washed. Also, the one using a plastic short tube is breathable,
The drying property is good, but since all the short pipes have to be bound together, they cannot be manufactured efficiently and they are heavy.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to obtain a cushion mat which can be easily mass-produced, is lightweight, has good breathability and dryness, and has good elasticity and stimulability.

[0005]

One of the cushion mats for solving the above-mentioned problems is, as described in claim 1, that a large number of elongated bag portions are provided adjacent to an outer cover made of a breathable sheet and have a large diameter. A cushion member made of an elastic hollow tube in which the portions and the small diameter portions are alternately formed integrally is inserted into each of the bag portions.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided another cushion mat.
As described above, a large number of elongated bag portions are provided adjacent to an outer cover made of a breathable sheet, and a cushion member made of an elastic hollow tube having a shape in which a large number of spherical shells are connected in succession, It is characterized in that each of the bags is inserted.

[0007]

According to the means of claim 1, the human body can be stimulated by the large diameter portion of the cushion member, and the state of stimulation can be diversified by varying the shape or length of the large diameter portion. You can

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the elastic spherical protrusion is formed on the entire mat by the cushion member held in the outer cover, it is possible to give an appropriate stimulus to the human body.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a cushion mat, 2 is an outer cover, and the outer cover 2 is formed by stacking two sheets 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ having air permeability and connecting a plurality of parallel connecting portions 3 to each other. And a plurality of parallel bag portions 4 are formed adjacent to each other.
The sheets 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ are made of nylon, polyester fibers or other synthetic fibers or cloths made of natural fibers such as cotton or hemp, knit products, nets, and synthetic resin porous films. , Sewing, sewing, welding, bonding, etc.

A cushion member 5 inserted in the bag portion 4
Is a thin hollow tube in which spherical shells 6, 6 are connected by a small diameter portion 7, and is made of elastic polyethylene, polypropylene polyester, vinyl chloride or the like. The cushion member 5 is made by, for example, extruding a pipe and squeezing the small diameter portion 7.

When the cushion member 5 is inserted into each bag portion 4, the unevenness formed by the spherical shell 6 and the small-diameter portion 7 is evenly distributed over the entire cushion mat 1, so that the person can sleep on the cushion mat 1. When seated or back-rested, the stimulus due to unevenness acts on the human body, resulting in massage or acupressure. The cushion member 5 may be held by friction with the bag portion 4, or may be held by closing the end portion of the bag portion 4.

Next, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which the jacket 2 is the same as that described above, but the cushion member 8 is different from the cushion member 5. The cushion member 8 has a cylindrical large diameter portion 9 and a small diameter portion 10 formed by drawing. In this embodiment, since the concavo-convex shape is changed by changing the length of the large diameter portion 9, it is possible to make various kinds by simply changing the pitch of the small diameter portion 10 at the time of molding.

Since the cushion members 5 and 8 each have a shape in which the outer diameter changes periodically, the rigidity in the diametrical direction as a whole is higher than that of a pipe-shaped member, and even if a thin material is used, it is required. The elastic force of is generated. In particular, the cushion member 5 having the spherical shell 6 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 has high resilience due to the pressure resistance of the spherical shell 6.

Since the small-diameter portions 7 and 10 form a space, the air permeability is good and stuffiness does not occur. Also,
Since there is the space and the material has no water absorption,
It has good drainage during washing and can be dried quickly.

Furthermore, since the cushion mat 1 has flexibility, it is well-suited to the human body, and when used in combination with other cushion materials, it is also well-suited to it.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the means of claim 1, it is completed by providing the outer cover with the bag portion and inserting the cushion member. Therefore, the manufacturing is simple and the ball in the cushion member is simple. Due to the pressure resistance of the shell, it can be made thin and lightweight while having an appropriate resilience, and it has the effect of providing an inexpensive and easy-to-handle product. In addition, since it has good breathability and dryness, it has the effect of being hygienic.

According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect substantially the same as that of the first aspect, a pipe-shaped material extruded with a constant outer diameter is used, and Providing various pitches has an advantage that various cushion mats having different cushioning properties can be produced.
