DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric carpet in which a carpet main body is accommodated in a cover to prevent the cover from slipping and to eliminate the need for a padding.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Electric carpets are the most widespread of home floor heating systems. The electric carpet has a size corresponding to the floor heating area, such as for 2 tatami mats, 4 tatami mats or 6 tatami mats, but is mostly rectangular. In the conventional electric carpet 1 shown in FIG. 6, a carpet main body 2 in which a heating element 2h whose heat generation amount is switched and set by a control unit 2c is laid on a floor in a state where the carpet body 2 is sandwiched between a bedsheet 3 and a cover 4. To use. The bedding 3 laid under the carpet body 2 acts to increase the heating efficiency by blocking heat escaping from the carpet body 2 to the floor, and the cover 4 covering the carpet body 2 prevents the carpet body 2 itself from being stained. At the same time, it gives the carpet its texture and touch.

The cover 4 has a structure in which a pile is planted on the surface of a base cloth and a non-woven fabric is stuck on the back surface. The non-woven fabric prevents the adhesive fixing the pile planted on the base cloth from peeling off. , Cover 4 is carpet body 2
It plays a role in preventing wrinkles from slipping on the top.

[0004]

Since the conventional electric carpet 1 is used with the carpet body 2 interposed between the bedsheet 3 and the cover 4, it is necessary to use three sets as a set. If the carpet body 2 is exposed even slightly from the end of the carpet body 4, the carpet body 2 becomes dirty or impairs aesthetic appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to set the length and width of the cover 4 at least to cover the entire carpet body 2. is there. However, even if the cover 4 having a size enough to cover the carpet body 2 is properly laid on the carpet body 2 and laid, the displacement between the carpet body 2 and the cover 4 is prevented only by the frictional resistance of the nonwoven fabric on the back surface of the cover 4. For example, when a load is applied to the cover 4 in an oblique direction when the user stands up from a sitting position or walks fast, the cover 4 and the carpet body 2 are structured.
And a part of the carpet body 2 was exposed, or a complicated wrinkle was left on the cover 4 in some cases. In addition, the wrinkles once formed in this way are covered with cover 4
The higher the degree of closeness between the carpet and the carpet body 2, the more troublesome it is to correct it. In most cases, the entire cover 4 had to be peeled off from the carpet body 2 and laid again. For this reason, when a sitting table or the like is placed on the cover 4, re-laying is not required to be a light work, and there is a problem that an elderly person who has many floor heating enthusiasts is likely to become a considerable burden. .

[0005] In addition, since the conventional electric carpet 1 is used with a laying cloth 3 laid between the floor and the carpet body 2, the carpet body 2 itself is housed in a closet or the like as in summer, and only the cover 4 is covered. In the season in which the carpet is used, it is necessary to separately fold the bedsheet 3 together with the carpet main body 2 and store it in a closet or the like, and there is a problem that the storage space in the closet is easily narrowed.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric carpet in which a carpet main body is housed in a cover, the cover is prevented from being displaced, and a mat is not required.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a carpet body having a rectangular planar shape in which a heating element is embedded, and a pair of rectangular planes having a rectangular plane slightly larger than the planar shape of the carpet body. A cloth is overlapped with one another, and all or most of two opposing sides are sewn into a bag shape, and a cover for accommodating the carpet body is provided.

[0008] The cover may leave a vertex where two sides to be sewn intersect with each other and the vicinity thereof as a non-sewn portion. Further, the cover may have a fixing string tied to the vertex, and the carpet body may include A fastening string fastened to the fixing string is tied to a portion facing the apex portion, and the cover is fixed to a base cloth, a pile planted on a surface of the base cloth, and a back surface of the base cloth. And the like.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the cover shown in FIG.

The electric carpet 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a two-piece set of a carpet body 12 and a cover 13 for accommodating the carpet body 12. Carpet body 1
A heating element 12h is embedded in 2, and the desired temperature can be set by operating the control unit 12c. The cover 13 is, as shown in FIGS.
2, a pair of cloths 13a and 13b having a rectangular plane slightly larger than the plane shape of the second cloth 13 are superimposed on each other.
Of the four opposing sides of 13b, two sides are mostly sewn to form a bag. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, two sides AB and DA of both cloths 13a and 13b are sewn, and a vertex A where these two sides intersect and AE and AF in the vicinity thereof extend over, for example, about 10 cm. And left as a non-sewn point. Therefore, by folding back the cloth 13a along the diagonal line BD, as shown in FIG. 4, the carpet main body 12 can be formed into an open shape in which the carpet body 12 can be easily inserted.

The upper and lower cloths 13 constituting the cover 13
a and 13b are a base cloth 131, a pile 132 planted on the surface of the base cloth 131, and a base cloth 131 as shown in FIG.
Made of a non-woven fabric 133 adhered to the back surface of
It can be said that the sectional shape of 13b is almost the same as the conventional cover 4. The nonwoven fabric 133 plays a role of preventing peeling of an adhesive for fixing the pile 132 implanted on the base cloth 131 and preventing slippage of the cover 13. The difference between the cover 13 and the conventional cover 4 is that the two cloths 13a and 13a
b is overlapped to form a bag.
b corresponds to the conventional mat 3.

The cover 13 has a fixed string 1 at the vertex A.
4, and a fastening string 15 for fastening the fixing string 14 to a portion of the carpet body 12 opposite to the vertex portion A.
Is tied. The carpet body 12 is
When the carpet body is housed in the carpet body, the hand is inserted into the cover 13 from the non-sewn portion, and the end of the carpet body 12 or the fastening cord 15 is grasped, and the carpet body 12 is pulled into the cover 13. After completely pulling the carpet body 12 into the cover 13, the fixing string 14 and the fastening string 15 are connected, and the carpet body 12 and the cover 13 are fastened to each other. The top cloth 13a of the cover 13 has its vertex C overlapped with the vertex C of the lower cloth 13b. As a result, the electric carpet 11 is ready for use.

As described above, the electric carpet 11 is
A pair of cloths 13a and 13b each having a rectangular plane slightly larger than the plane shape of the carpet body 12 are overlapped with each other, and most of two opposing sides are sewn to a cover 13 formed into a bag shape. Since the cloth 12 is accommodated and used, the cloth 13b on the lower surface side of the cover 13 functions as the conventional cloth 3. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately prepare the bedsheet 3. In addition, since the front and back of the carpet body 12 are sandwiched by the cover 13 from above and below, the carpet body 12 is partially exposed from the end of the cover 13 and the carpet body 12 does not become dirty or impair the appearance. . Further, since the carpet body 12 is firmly held inside the cover 13, even if a load acts on the cover 13 in an oblique direction when the user stands up from a sitting position or walks fast, the cover 13 and the carpet body are not affected. There is no deviation between the cover 12 and the cover 13, and no complicated wrinkles are formed on the cover 13, and the entire cover 13 does not have to be peeled off from the carpet body 12 to extend the wrinkles. Elderly people who have a lot can use it without any burden. Further, in the season when the carpet body 12 itself is stored in a closet or the like as in summer, only the cover 13 can be left, and the cover 1 in which only two cloths 13a and 13b are overlapped.
3, the floor surface can be sufficiently protected as a substitute carpet.

Since the cover 13 leaves the vertex A where the two sides to be sutured intersect with each other and the vicinity thereof as a non-sewn portion, when the carpet body 12 is accommodated in the cover 13, the hand from the non-sewn portion of the cover 13 is removed. Put the carpet body 1
2, the carpet body 12 can be pulled deep into the cover 13 and the carpet body 12 can be pulled into the cover 13 by some impact.
In the case where the carpet body 12 is misaligned inside, the carpet body 12 can be properly accommodated in the cover 13 again by putting a hand from the non-sewn portion of the cover 13 and pulling the top of the carpet body 12 and pulling it. it can.

The cover 13 has a fixing string 14 tied to the vertex portion A, and the carpet body 12 has a fixing string 15 tied to the fixing string 14 tied to a portion facing the vertex portion A. For this reason, after inserting the hand from the non-sewn portion of the cover 13 and pulling the top of the carpet body 12 to hold the carpet body 12 properly in the cover 13, the fixing string 14 and the fastening string 15 are fastened to each other. By doing so, the relative displacement between the cover 13 and the carpet main body 12 is prevented, and the original storage state is maintained for a long period of time.
It can be used in a regular state without any shift or wrinkles.

Further, the cover 13 is attached to the base cloth 131.
And the pile 132 planted on the surface of the base cloth 131 and the non-woven fabric 133 fixed to the back surface of the base cloth 131, the vial 132 on the surface of the base cloth 131 gives a feeling and feel, and the non-woven fabric 133 covers The gap between the carpet body 12 and the cover 13 can be further prevented by the holding effect of the bag-shaped cover 13 itself and the holding effect of the nonwoven fabric. It can be reliably eliminated.

In the above embodiment, the cover 13 is
Most of the four sides of the pair of cloths 13a and 13b facing each other are sewn to form a bag shape, but these two sides may be sewn over the entire length. In addition, a triangular pocket is formed at the lower corner of the carpet body 12 corresponding to the vertex C located diagonally to the vertex A of the cover 13, and the tip of the lower cloth 13b is inserted into this pocket to further prevent slippage. You can make it thorough.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A pair of cloths having a rectangular plane slightly larger than the plane shape of the carpet main body are overlapped with each other, and all or most of two sides of the four opposing sides are stitched together, and the carpet main body is housed in a bag-shaped cover. Since the lower side of the cover is a conventional mat, there is no need to prepare a separate mat, and the front and back sides of the carpet body are sandwiched by the cover from above and below. Part of the carpet body is exposed from the carpet body, so that the carpet body does not become dirty or spoil the appearance, and the carpet body is firmly held inside the cover, so when walking up from a sitting position or walking fast Even if a load is applied to the cover in an oblique direction, no slippage occurs between the cover and the carpet body, and complicated wrinkles are formed on the cover. There is no need to remove the entire cover from the carpet body to spread the wrinkles and re-lay it, so that elderly people with many floor heating enthusiasts can use it safely without burdening, and in summer In the season where the carpet body itself is stowed in a closet as in the case above, only the cover can be left, and even a cover with only two cloths overlapping can sufficiently protect the floor as a substitute carpet It has excellent effects such as being able to.

Also, since the cover has left a vertex where two sides to be sewn meet and the vicinity thereof as a non-sewn portion, when the carpet body is accommodated in the cover, a hand is inserted from the non-sewn portion of the cover to remove the carpet body. By pulling the top of the carpet, the carpet body can be pulled all the way to the back of the cover.If the carpet body is shifted inside the cover due to some impact, remove the hand from the non-sewn part of the cover. And pulling the top of the carpet body while holding the top of the carpet body, there is an effect that the carpet body can be properly stored in the cover again.

Further, the cover is connected with a fixing string at the vertex, and the carpet body is connected with the fixing string fastened to the fixing string at a portion facing the vertex.
After inserting the hand from the non-sewn point of the cover and pulling the top of the carpet body and pulling the carpet body properly in the cover, the fixing string and the fastening string are fastened to each other to secure the cover and the carpet body. And the like, and it is possible to keep the original stored state for a long period of time and continue to use it in a normal state.

Furthermore, since the cover is composed of a base cloth, a pile planted on the surface of the base cloth, and a non-woven fabric adhered to the back side of the base cloth, the vial on the base cloth surface gives texture and touch, In addition, the non-woven fabric can prevent the gap between the cover and the carpet body, and the holding effect by the structure of the bag-shaped cover itself and the holding effect by the non-woven fabric further ensure the gap between the carpet body and the cover. And the like.
