Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a mattress that is effective for health and hygiene.

``Prior art'' So-called health bedding for medical or health purposes includes magnetic health bedding using magnetic materials, chiropractic health bedding using uneven mats, potential (ion) health bedding for electric field therapy, or combinations of these functions. Bedclothes and the like are conventionally used. In addition, bedsore prevention mats, water beds, etc. have also been proposed.

In general, bedding, especially comforters, and mattresses tend to become unsanitary with continued use.

It is said that the human body sweats a portion per night, but this moisture is mainly absorbed by the futon.

Scrapped bedding tends to get damp and becomes a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
It becomes a perfect home for pests and mites. Furthermore, these mites, their excreta, and mold spores are responsible for allergies (including rhinitis and acne) and mild skin.

The smell of a dirty futon is truly unpleasant, and even if it is left in a closet, it will become damp, and this moisture is also a contributing factor to the bedclothes that are often found in bedridden elderly people.

Furthermore, although the electric blankets that have become popular these days are comfortable in terms of heat retention, the presence of electric wires inside the futon is quite unsettling, and long-term use can also cause low-temperature burns.

Furthermore, bedding incorporating an electric potential treatment device as described above has the disadvantage that it cannot be used in combination with this electric blanket.

(See below).

Furthermore, in the summer, sleeping mats have been placed on top of futons to keep people cool and comfortable, but at present there are no futons that are suitable for use in the summer.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" This invention is a bedding that uses air, which is useful for health and medical care, and is a direct product of the bedding by circulating cold or warm air inside the mattress. It is a safe and sanitary mat.

``Means for solving the problem'' A mattress-shaped main body made of synthetic resin foam material, such as hard urethane foam material, is provided with an air storage part.
For example, the futon body is covered by pasting and covering the upper part with a sheet of urethane material, and the air storage portion is filled with and circulated with cold air or hot air at an appropriate temperature.

"Function" The futon of this invention uses cold air at an appropriate temperature in the air storage area.
By filling and flowing warm air, the futon can be maintained at a temperature appropriate for the season and room temperature, making the user comfortable while resting on it, and also drying, dehumidifying, and drying the futon.
Sanitary treatments such as deodorization and dustproofing will be carried out quickly and at all times.

``Example'' Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the mattress (A) of the present invention. A futon-like main body (1) is formed by a futon-like main body (1), and an air storage part (2) having an inlet (a) and an outlet (b) is formed inside the main body (1). Next, (3) is this main body (1
) A sheet of a suitable synthetic resin material, such as a urethane material, which is adhered to the upper surface of the material, may be sealed, but a sheet with pores is effective. (4) is a sheet (
Like 3), it is a sheet made of synthetic resin material, and is pasted on the back side if necessary.

'Note that it is preferable to form a support (C) in the air storage part (2) as appropriate.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which an air circulation passage (2) having an inlet (a) and an outlet (b) is formed inside a futon-like main body (1).

FIG. 6 shows a case where a sleeping person lies supine on the mattress (A) formed according to FIG. 2.

Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the main body (1) of the mattress (A) of the present invention, and the barriers (C) forming the grooves of the passage (2) are designed with appropriate arrangement and spacing as shown in the figure. do.

Multiple exits (b) may be provided, or a second exit (b) may be provided.
In the example shown, if either the inlet (a) or the outlet (b) is closed, the passage shown in FIG. 4 will be formed.

Figure 5 (a) shows a sleeping person (
When the body (c) rests or sleeps on its back, sweat and heat are emitted, which pass through the pores of the sheet (3) and pass through the body (1).
) is sucked into the air passing through the passage (2) and is discharged from the outlet (b).

FIG. 5 shows a Rolo line cross section of FIG. 4.

Figure 6 shows the main body (1) of the mattress (A) of this invention.
This is a situation in which air at an appropriate temperature, such as hot or cold air, is blown into the circulation passage (2) and circulated.

(7) is a filter for drying, dust removal, and odor removal, as appropriate.
Thermomodule that generates warm, hot air, and cold air (s)
It is a hafuan (blower). Air is then blown through the inlet (a) of the main body (1) of the blanket (A) and discharged from the outlet (b), which is connected to the aforementioned pipe (5) as shown by the dotted line. Let it recirculate. Furthermore, 00
is the outside air intake.

In this way, hot or cold air is blown into the mattress (A) from the inlet (a), circulated, and sucked from the outlet (1)), thereby keeping the mattress (A) warm. Perform operations such as keeping cool, drying, dehumidifying, removing dust, and removing odors.

Adjust the pressure. If the inside of the circulation passage (2) is under negative pressure, the air passing through it will absorb odor, sweat, etc. from the human body, and by creating a positive pressure, the seat (
3) Warm air is blown out through the pores, creating a heating effect.

Furthermore, by attaching an anion generator (9), the ions generated fly through the circulating air and are absorbed by the sheet (
3) It is released from the pores and brings good results to the human body.

In addition, (9) is a sterilization device such as an ozone generator (
A) Increases the sanitary effect.

Figure 7 shows the deformation of the circulation passageway (2) in the main body (1) of the mattress (A) mentioned above, which has an enlarged section a in place.
In addition to the enlarged portion αη having a different shape as shown in FIG.

These are designed to have a bulging part (1η, (1υ) in the circulation passage (2), thereby allowing warm air and cold air to accumulate there, further improving heating and cooling efficiency. Fig. 9 shows What is shown is another example sheet (3) that is attached to the top surface of the main body of the mattress (A), and it has many convex portions 0→, which is the 10th sheet. As shown in the figure, due to the phenomenon in which hot air due to warm air accumulates in the part (d) in the figure, a thermopressure effect is produced by applying this convex part to the part corresponding to the tail of the body.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which a circulation passageway (2a) is provided when such a sheet (3) is used, and in this case, the main body (1
) Be sure to attach the sheet (4) to the back side of the

In addition, FIG. 12 shows the example shown in FIG. 11, but the circulation passage (2) is located behind the circulation passage (2). The passage (2) may be formed by embedding a pipe-like member in the main body. It is provided with pores and enlarged portions.

Furthermore, the mattress (A) of this invention has the above-mentioned solid heat retention,
In addition to its cold retention effect, it is also characterized by its ability to retain heat when used in conjunction with an electric potential treatment device.

In other words, as shown in Figure 16, when using the electric potential treatment device 03), it is essential to insulate it.
At this time, if the ordinary futon (A) has moisture, electricity will leak through that part to the tatami (C) etc. as shown by the arrow. Here, (E) shows the electrode in the electric potential therapy device.

To prevent this electrical leakage, use a futon (A) as shown in Figure 14.
(A thin plate (G) made of synthetic resin (vinyl, etc.) is placed under the thin plate (G) for insulation. However, even with this method, moisture accumulates on the thin plate (G) due to sweat from the human body, and the thin plate (G) Electrical leakage will gradually occur through the surface of G).Also, if you use the electric blanket (D) in combination with the electric potential treatment device (inside the electric potential treatment device) as shown in Figure 15, the electric current will leak through the cord (F) of the electric blanket (inside the electric blanket). Since it is grounded to the outlet, the electrode of the electric potential treatment device (B) (
Electricity may leak from (E) to the electric blanket (D) as shown by the arrow, or the insulation of the electric blanket (D) may be destroyed.
It cannot be used simultaneously with an electric blanket, which is inconvenient as the user has to endure exposure to the cold during the winter when using the electric potential treatment device.

The futon (A) of the present invention has a hollow part due to the air storage part and passage inside the main body (1), and since moisture is removed each time it is used, the futon (A) has good insulation properties. One major feature is that electric potential treatment can be performed warmly by blowing warm air.

"Effects of the Invention" The air-applied futon of this invention can be spread by filling the air storage part and passage provided in the main body of the futon with hot, cold, or air at an appropriate temperature and allowing it to circulate. Maintain the temperature at the appropriate temperature. At the same time, it has functions such as drying, dehumidification, dust removal, and deodorization, making it a hygienic and healthy mattress.In addition, by providing a convex part on the top sheet, it applies heat and pressure to the area that corresponds to the human body's tail. In addition, when used in conjunction with an electric potential treatment device, there is no risk of electrical leakage, and the electric potential treatment can be performed while keeping the body warm.
