Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a comfortable futon mat which is more hygienic and lighter and has a heat reserving force effectively utilizing far infrared rays by synergistic effect of a natural ore radiating far infrared rays and down. SOLUTION: A far infrared fiber layer 4a comprising fibers blended with a natural ore radiating far infrared rays is sewn on the side of a lining 3 as wadding 4 to cover almost the entire area of a human body and is covered with a down layer 4b as wadding 4 from the side of the surface 2 thereof. In regards to the fibers composing the far infrared fiber layer 4a, the natural ore radiating far infrared rays is crushed into a powder down to 69 μm and then, blended into various synthetic fibers or semi-synthetic fibers such as polyester based, polyamide based, polyacrylonitrile based, polyvinyl based, polyolefin based or polyurethane based fibers.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a futon which effectively utilizes far infrared rays, which are considered to be the best for breeding of living things and the health of the human body, and which also has the characteristics of a lightweight and comfortable feather futon. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Far-infrared rays can not only crush any acupuncture points on the body to promote recovery from fatigue, but also can be used for a long time unlike magnetism. In particular, it is known that far-infrared rays emitted by natural ores have antibacterial properties, deodorant properties, and excellent functions such as antifungal properties and deodorant properties without using any chemicals.

[0003] For this reason, artificial fibers are constituted by containing a powder of natural ore such as Taiwanese senseng, which emits far-infrared rays, or a mixed powder of this senseng with serpentine and / or quartz metamorphic rock. It has been proposed that artificial fibers containing such natural ores emitting far-infrared rays be mixed into a fiber material and used in textile products such as clothing, bedding or sports equipment (for example, JP-A-4-
272212).

On the other hand, so-called feather futons using white goose down or the like for the inner lining are much lighter in weight and feel better than ordinary futons using ordinary cotton for the inner lining, and also have heat insulating properties. It is generally widely used as having excellent moisture release properties.

[0005]

However, if a futon is manufactured using only the fiber containing natural ore that emits far-infrared ray, the kind of fiber is generally much heavier than feather. In addition, since the heat retention is inferior, the futon becomes quite heavy when trying to obtain a sufficient heat retention.

That is, in order to increase the heat retention, it is necessary to increase the amount of padding. However, when the amount of padding is increased in this way, the weight of the padding becomes heavier and, contrary to the demand for a lighter futon, on the contrary, It is believed that reducing the amount of padding to reduce the weight results in a problem of heat retention.

[0007] In view of the above, the present invention provides a more hygienic, lighter weight, and more suitable sleep for excellent heat retention while effectively utilizing far infrared rays, due to the synergistic effect of natural ore that emits far infrared rays and feathers. The purpose is to provide comfortable futons.

[0008]

The futon of the present invention has a far-infrared fiber layer made of fibers kneaded with natural ore that emits far-infrared rays, and is sewn on the lining side so as to cover almost the entire body area. The fiber layer is covered with a feather layer as a padding from the surface material side.

According to the present invention, the far-infrared rays radiated by the natural ore can be effectively used, and the heat insulation can be enhanced by the excellent heat insulating effect of the feathers. In addition, while enjoying the effect of promoting recovery from fatigue, the amount of fibers kneaded with natural ore that emits far-infrared rays can be minimized, and the weight of the futon can be reduced.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention applied to a so-called thick futon (thick quilt with gusset).
Inside the lining 3, a pad 4 is built in.

The inner cotton 4 is made of fibers kneaded with natural ore emitting far infrared rays, and is sewn on the side of the lining 3 so as to cover almost the entire body area.
a and a feather layer 4b that covers the far-infrared fiber layer 4a from the outer material 2 side, and between these layers 4a and 4b,
A middle ground 5 that separates them is interposed.

[0012] Thereby, the whole body is formed by the far infrared fiber layer
a is within a range (about 20 cm) where the far infrared rays radiated from a reach, and the function exhibited by the far infrared rays can be effectively used, and the far infrared fiber layer 4a is completely covered with the feather layer 4b. By wrapping in the feather layer 4
b is designed to exert sufficient heat retention.

The fiber constituting the far-infrared fiber layer 4a is a natural ore that emits far-infrared rays, for example, 0.1% ore.
After pulverizing to a powder of 69 μm, it is blended into various synthetic fibers and semi-synthetic fibers including polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl, polyolefin and polyurethane.

Thus, the natural ore emitting far-infrared rays and the feathers have a synergistic effect, so that the far-infrared rays emitted by the natural ore can be effectively used, and the heat insulation is enhanced by the excellent heat insulating effect of the feathers. The weight of the futon can be reduced.

That is, in the case of the futon constructed as described above, no hospital-acquired infection (MR
(SA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and bacteria that cause bedsores (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), etc., exhibit a surprising effect and can reduce them, and have high mold resistance and are extremely hygienic Has been confirmed to be relevant.

In addition, it has excellent deodorizing properties and is effective not only for sweat, body temperature, and bad smell of living odor, but also for far infrared rays (4 to 4).
The effect of radiation having a wavelength of 14 μm) can promote blood circulation and activate metabolism. Further, the far-infrared fiber layer 4a can maintain its effect semipermanently even with heavy washing.

Further, in this example, as a fiber into which natural ore emitting far-infrared rays is kneaded, polyester cotton is used as a fiber.
Use 5kg, white goose down 95 as feather
% Of 1.2 kg is used, and thus,
The amount of fiber (polyester cotton) kneaded with natural ore that emits heavy far-infrared rays can be minimized.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the body is laid on a mattress or mat 10 and then the quilt 1 is used. In this example, the far-infrared fiber layer 4 is used.
a completely covers the shoulders of the body, so that far-infrared rays act on the whole body. The number 11 is a pillow.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention applied to a so-called bedding futon (beta quilt), which is different from the above-described embodiment in the far infrared fiber layer. The point is that 0.5 kg of polyester cotton was used as the fiber into which the natural ore constituting 4a was kneaded, and 0.4 kg of 90% white goose down was used as the feather constituting the feather layer 4b.

The present invention is, of course, not limited to the above embodiments, but can be applied to various futons.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Using natural ore that emits far-infrared rays for a long time as part of the padding, it promotes recovery from fatigue and has excellent effects such as antibacterial, antifungal, deodorant, and deodorizing properties Can be done. In addition, due to the synergistic effect with feathers that are lightweight and excellent in heat retention and moisture retention, it is possible to provide a more hygienic and healthy futon suitable for sleep with light weight and excellent heat retention.
