[Means for Solving the Problems] The inner material of the cushion of bedding, clothes, chairs / shoes is made into a ball shape or a column shape and put in the cover of the cushion of bedding, clothes, chairs / shoes.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A plurality of ball-shaped or column-shaped inner materials to be put in bedding, clothing, and cushions of chairs and shoes are put in a cover (Fig. 1). Whether the space between the cover and inner material is air, water or gel,
By covering the cover, cushions for bedding, clothes, chairs and shoes were created in which multiple spherical surfaces of the inner material were in contact with the body. The number of ball-shaped or columnar inner materials is partially increased or decreased, or the size of the ball-shaped or columnar inner material is changed to match the shape of the individual body.

[0006]

EXAMPLES A plurality of ball-shaped or columnar inner materials may be cotton, wool, urethane home, sponge, plastic, carbon, straw, wood, feather, rubber, vinyl, or the like.

The structure of the inner member may be a single structure (FIG. 3), a hollow structure (FIG. 4), or a composite structure (FIG. 5).

Although the shape of the ball is a ball, if the portion in contact with the body such as a sphere or a rugby ball is a spherical surface, the shape of the lower portion does not matter. For example, a snowman type may be used. It may be cylindrical or kamaboko-shaped. (FIG. 6) (FIG. 7) (FIG. 8).

The inner material is urethane home, sponge,
If it is a soft material such as rubber, it may be a triangular pyramid, a quadrangular pyramid, another pyramid, a cone or the like, instead of the ball shape.

It is also possible to form a plurality of ball-shaped inner members partially or wholly as an integral shape.

The size of the inner material is such that a plurality of them can be inserted into the cushions of bedding, clothes, chairs and shoes, respectively.

A ball-shaped or cylindrical inner material,
If a material other than air is used between the surface covers of bedding (or clothing, cushions for chairs and shoes) such as liquid or gel like waterbed, use this inner material to reduce the total amount of liquid or gel. It can be reduced and the fit with the body can be changed.
(Figure 9)

A magnetically or electrically charged substance or a substance having an electrically charged substance may be put in the balls of the inner material to exert a magnetic or electrotherapeutic effect.

The ball-shaped inner member can be used as a cushion of a chair for a seat portion and a backrest. The genres of chairs are not limited to office, automobile, vehicle seat, and home.

By making the surface cover and the inner material plastic transparent or semi-transparent and putting the light emitting diode, miniature bulb, etc. in the inner material ball to make them glow, bedding with a special lighting effect and fashionability, I can make clothes and cushions. Electricity may be controlled by a computer using electricity.

The inner cover may be colored by making the surface cover transparent or translucent. Alternatively, fluorescent paint may be applied. Moreover, you may imitate the body of animals etc.

It is also possible to partially put a sound producing device such as a speaker in the cavity of the inner material. It can be used for listening, awakening, etc.

It is also possible to partially add a fragrance to the inner material. Aromatherapy effect appears. The inner material can be formed by adding a deodorant or by using the deodorant itself. The fragrance or the like may be placed in the cavity of the inner material, or may be soaked in the urethane home, sponge or the like of the inner material.

Insulating agent (hot water, etc.) in the cavity of the inner material
Alternatively, by setting a cooling agent (ice water, etc.), the temperature of the bedding and the cushion of the chair can be adjusted partially or entirely.

The bedding and the cushion of the chair may be covered with a cover, and the inner member may be held in each part.
(FIG. 10)

The portion of the bedding or the cushion cover of the chair which is in contact with the inner member may be made immovable by the principle of Velcro. (FIG. 11)

A magnet may be placed in the inner material to bond the inner materials together.

The inner materials are arranged like an atomic model,
A joint portion may be provided on the inner member for jointing. (FIG. 12)

A plurality of ball-shaped or column-shaped inner materials (for example, rubber, urethane, or deodorant) can be put in the air or gel of the cushion of the shoe sole. It can also be integrated with the sole pattern.

If a plurality of ball-shaped or column-shaped inner materials are used as the inner material of the clothes, the amount of air contained therein can be changed to change the thickness by changing the size.

By setting the ball-shaped or columnar inner material of the present invention on a urethane home or the like having a plurality of dents calculated so that the upper spherical surface of the inner material is formed beforehand, the ball-shaped or columnar shape can be obtained. The inner material may be fixed. (FIG. 13) Then, the bedding and cushion are formed by covering the whole.

It is also possible to set an elastic body such as a spring between the urethane home or the like having the depression shown in FIG. 13 and the ball-shaped or cylindrical inner material of the present invention.

A vibrating body is set inside or around the ball-shaped or columnar inner material of the present invention, and the ball-shaped or columnar inner material is vibrated to exert a massage effect.

If the inner material is formed into a continuous ball shape or a cylindrical shape, the inner material has elasticity. (FIG. 14) (FIG. 15). In the figure, hemisphere + sphere +
The figure in which the sphere is consecutively placed 2.5 times is representatively shown, but the number of consecutive spheres does not matter.

The inner material is made of a heat insulating material containing water, gel, etc., and can be used for space suits, fire fighting clothes and the like.

[0031]

Since the inner material of the present invention is an assembly of a plurality of balls or columns, only balls (columns) of the inner material that are damaged or dirty are taken out and replaced or washed. You can It is also easy to make the shape of bedding and cushions according to the shape of the individual body (Fig. 1). Further, since it has a ball shape or a cylindrical shape, the cushion of bedclothes, clothes, chairs / shoes and the body are supported by a spherical surface, so that breathability is good and hygienic. There is also a pleasant effect by pushing the pot on the body. Of inner material,
By changing the structure of the ball or cylinder, bedding, clothes,
The cushioning properties of chairs and shoes can be easily changed in whole or in part. It also reduces the amount of water and gel contained in the waterbed and shoe sole cushions.
