Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a futon (mattress pad) unit and a futon consisting of the futon units which can be freely arranged to be a suitable sized futon according to a user's body size, or a bed size (single or double), and to keep the volume of the batting of the futon unit from expanding when the futon is frequently sterilized with hot water and dried at high temperature without using medicines to kill ticks or bacteria. SOLUTION: This futon consists of an arbitrary number of futon units connected with such connecting means as hook and loop fasteners or buttons which are attached on each futon unit. A connecting means such as a hook and loop fastener 2 or a button is attached on each futon unit so that one futon unit can be connected with another unit. As for the batting of the futon unit 1, specially treated feathers which can be washed in hot water and dried at high temperature for sterilization to kill ticks or bacteria are used as well as usually used cotton, merino wool, or synthetic fiber, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a futon and a futon unit in which a futon having an appropriate size and hardness can be freely assembled according to the size of the body, single or double, and can be easily washed at home. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Futons currently used are sewn by wrapping a futon material such as cotton or feather with a futon constituent cloth, and the dimensions thereof are usually constant. Therefore, as infants, elementary school students, junior high school students, adults and the body grow up, futons that have become smaller cannot be used and must be replaced with new futons of larger size, which is very uneconomical and, in a broad sense, effective use of resources There was a problem that lacked. Also, there were complaints that tall people and fat people would have to pay expensive prices because they would be treated as custom-made, even if they wanted to find the right futon. In addition, the conventional futon is wrapped with cotton and feathers in a futon component cloth and sewn as described above, so even if it is attempted to wash at home, it is impossible with a normal washing machine. However, the cost is high if commissioned to a professional contractor, so the current situation is to take a second step, and this has been a serious problem, especially in households with aptly soiled children and bedridden elderly people. . Washing the futon and keeping it clean at all times is not only good for health but also prevents the occurrence of ticks and bacteria, and is effective against allergic diseases and skin diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis. Potential demand for new futon products, which are known to be effective and can be easily washed in ordinary households to remove dirty parts and wash to remove bad smells, was quite large. .

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention allows the user to freely assemble a futon of an appropriate size according to the size of the body, single or double, and also to wash at home. It is an object to provide suitable futons and futon units. Another object of the present invention is to select a material that does not greatly change the volume of the filling of the futon unit, since ticks and bacteria are frequently sterilized and disinfected with hot water and high-temperature drying without using chemicals.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a futon according to the present invention is constituted by connecting an arbitrary number of futon units provided with connecting means such as a flat fastener or a button. It is. Further, the futon unit according to the present invention is provided with a connecting means such as a flat fastener or a button which can be connected to another futon unit. For the filling of the futon unit, in addition to the commonly used cotton, wool and synthetic cotton, specially processed blades that can be washed with hot water and dried at high temperature for sterilization and disinfection of mites and bacteria are used.

[0005]

The futon and the futon unit according to the present invention will be described below. Since the futon unit is provided with connecting means such as a flat fastener and a button,
The futon can be constructed simply by connecting an arbitrary number of futon units with a flat fastener or a button.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a futon and a futon unit according to the present invention will be described based on embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a futon unit 1, and a flat fastener 2 is provided on each side of the unit 1. FIG. 2 shows a futon 3 in which an arbitrary number of the futon units 1 are prepared, and the futon units 1 are connected to each other by a planar fastener 2 so as to constitute the futon 1 of a desired size. In the above embodiment, a flat fastener is used as the connecting means. However, it is a matter of course that a button or other connecting means may be used, and the shape and size of the futon unit are not limited to the above embodiment. Further, as the futon material in the futon unit, for example, a specially processed blade material that can be washed with hot water and dried at high temperature may be used.

[0007]

As described above, the futon and the futon unit according to the present invention can freely assemble a futon of an appropriate size according to the size of the body, single or double, so that infants, elementary school students, Since it is only necessary to add a futon unit in accordance with the growth of junior high school students, adults and the body, it is very economical and has a remarkable effect of effective use of resources. Also, once the futon is assembled, it can be easily disassembled into a futon unit if necessary.For example, only a dirty futon unit can be replaced, or it can be easily washed with a home washing machine. Since it can be dried quickly, it is extremely convenient for a bedridden elderly person, a home with an allergic disease such as asthma and atopic dermatitis, and a family with a sick person such as a skin disease.
