Description

Bag for body support {BAG FOR BODY SUPPORTER}

Since seats such as seats and chairs, for example, seats of various automobiles, are made to be suitable for the average user, there may be a case where a feeling of fit is not enough depending on the user.

In view of such circumstances, various body supports have been conventionally proposed as a means to solve this problem. Basically, such a body support is to use a deformable support such as a cushioning body in contact with a body part, deform it, fix it in such a state, and deform the support part in a shape conforming to the body part.

For example, the present inventors further pursued the practicality of such a body support, and impregnated a curable resin with a flexible cushioning body so as to maintain a shape that fits the seating shape of the user, and to be easily handled and configured easily. A body support is proposed, which is coated with a sheet-like covering to come into contact with a body part and cured into a shape conforming to the body part. (See Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-128803). The present invention can be simply formed into a seating shape (body shape) of a user, and furthermore, since the seat support is a cushioning body having a softness while the cover is hardened to maintain its shape, the inner kernel is not only hard but also suitable. Flexibility can also be obtained, and good support performance and seating comfort can be obtained. Furthermore, since the cushioning body can be simply covered with a coating material impregnated with a cured resin, it is possible to provide a product having excellent mass productivity and low cost. It was a groundbreaking body support with the advantage of being.

However, since such a body support is inferior in its own appearance, feel, and the like, it is necessary to pack and use it in a storage bag having excellent feel and appearance, since the body support is fixed in a state where the cushioning body or the like is deformed. In particular, at the upper edge of the center pressed by the body, the thickness becomes particularly thin and the cushioning body becomes thin, or in some cases, a hardened portion in which the sheet-like covering is directly overlapped may occur. Due to the hardening of the resin, the difference in curing time is large according to the environmental temperature, and the moisture-curable resin itself generates heat during curing, so that the seated user feels a sense of discomfort while forming the heat storage resin. As it is easy to absorb heat from the outside because of the big car at the time of use The usability problems are pointed out, there is a demand that the bag can eliminate them, etc. feel.

This invention is made | formed in view of the said subject, and can aim at the normalization of hardening time, avoiding the influence which an environmental temperature has on hardening time, and make the mounting of a body support favorable, and also a seat, a chair, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide a bag for body support for mounting on a seat or the like.

The present invention, the body support bag for storing the body support that can maintain the shape in accordance with the user's seating shape (body shape) to obtain a snug fit according to the user's body shape and install the seat or chair seat, etc. It is about.

In order to achieve the above object, the body support bag of the present invention accommodates and deforms a support part that can be pressed and deformed in contact with a body part, and accommodates the body support for fixing and using the support part in a shape conforming to the body part. The bag is a bag-shaped body composed of a front coating material on the side in contact with the body and a rear coating material on the back side thereof, and a heat insulating layer is disposed on at least the front coating material of the bag body.

According to the above-described configuration, since a heat insulating layer is interposed between the body support and the body, it is suppressed that the body temperature is deprived of the body support, so that the part such as the hips, the waist or the like is prevented from becoming cold, and the feeling of use can be improved. In addition, the fixing of the body support is caused by the curing of the moisture-curable resin, etc. The moisture-curable resin is susceptible to the influence of environmental temperature, such as time-consuming curing when the temperature is low. Therefore, paying attention to the fact that this moisture-curable resin generates heat at the time of curing, by arranging a heat insulating layer on the front covering, the heat generation during the curing reaction can be confined, and the influence of environmental temperature can be reduced, thereby achieving normalization of the curing time. . Moreover, the heat at the time of hardening reaction is transmitted to a user, and it does not give a discomfort.

In addition, the body support bag of the present invention is a bag for receiving a body support for use in fixing the support portion in a shape conforming to the body part by pressing the deformable support portion to the body portion, the bag is a body It is a bag-shaped body which consists of the front coating material on the side which contacts the back side, and the back coating material on the back surface, and arrange | positions the cushion layer in at least the front surface coating material of this bag shape.

According to such a structure, since the cushioning layer is interposed between the body support body and the body, the texture of a part such as a hip, a waist or the like which contacts the body support body can be improved.

Further, the body support bag of the present invention is disposed so as to cover the upper periphery of the body support in which the cushion layer is housed at least. For this reason, when the moisture-curable resin or the like is hardened in the body support and the shape is fixed, the edge, in particular the upper edge portion, becomes thin and the cushion body becomes thin, or in some cases, the hardened portion where the sheet-like covering is directly overlapped. It is easy to produce, and a part which is inferior in cushioning property touches a body, and it is easy to produce a discomfort. Thus, by arranging the cushion layer so as to cover at least the upper periphery of the body support, the texture of the upper edge portion is alleviated, resulting in improved usability.

In addition, the bag for the body support of the present invention can be made comfortable without sticking because the front covering material is breathable.

In addition, since the body support bag of the present invention forms an opening in the back covering material, the body support can be inserted and removed from the opening.

In addition, since the bag for body support of the present invention is provided with a surface fastener on the surface of the back covering material, the bag can be positioned in a sheet or the like on which the surface fastener is installed.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, 1st Embodiment of the body support bag of this invention is described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the body support bag 1 of the present embodiment is a substantially rectangular bag-shaped body that is horizontally long, and the bag 1 is formed of the front covering material 2 on the side in contact with the body. It is made by sewing the back covering material 3 which contacts the seat | seats, such as a vehicle, and arrange | positions the cord 4 along the edge part of the rough bag 1 in the boundary part of both. The longitudinal dimension of the front covering material 2 is longer than that of the back covering material 3, so that the front covering material 2 turns to the back side at the upper and lower edge portions of the bag-shaped body, whereby the cord 4 It is arrange | positioned at the back side.

In the bag 1 as described above, the front covering material 2 consists of the heat insulating layer 5, the cushion layer 6, and the skin material 7 from the inner surface side. There is no restriction | limiting in particular as this heat insulation layer 5, For example, "ThinasulateOS-100" manufactured by Sumitomo 3M company can be used. In addition, as the cushion layer 6, various foaming materials, such as a polyurethane foam, can be used, without a restriction | limiting in particular, For example, "UEM35" manufactured by Inoak Co., Ltd. can be used. In addition, the skin 7 may be made of a sheet, a fabric, etc., which are beautiful in appearance and have a good feel in terms of forming the appearance at the same time as contact with the body, and particularly preferably have a breathability. Woven knitted fabrics are available. By setting the front covering material 2 in such a structure, it can be set as having itself air permeability. On the other hand, the back coating material 3 is formed of the stretchable material 8, such as polyester knitted fabric which has breathability, and the stretchable material 8 has the upper part 8A and the lower part 8B mutually mutually at the end part. The openings 9 are formed in the horizontal direction by overlapping, and the openings 9 are openable by the fasteners 10 and 10A. On the other hand, the cord 4 is covered by the skin 7 as shown in FIG. 3, and is sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3. In Figs. 1 to 5, reference numeral 11 denotes a sewing thread, 12 denotes a tag for attaching a trademark, and the like, 13 denotes a position fixing device attached to the center of the surface of the back cover material 3 so that its longitudinal direction is up and down. One side fastener. In this example, the front covering material 2 overlaps the heat insulating layer 5, the cushion layer 6, and the skin material 7.

There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a body support body accommodated in the body support bag 1 as mentioned above, If it can be stored in a natural state without being excessively compressed in the bag 1 mentioned above, there are various types Can be used, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 can be used. The body support 21 is formed by covering a cushioning body 22, which is a flexible support part, with a sheet-like covering body 23 impregnated with a cured resin. And this cushioning body 22 is coat | covered so that it may be enclosed from the front surface side by the covering body 23, and a superposition | polymerization part linear in the height direction overlapping both ends mutually at the center of a back side, especially this back side in this embodiment. (S) is formed and joined. Moreover, the coating body 23 makes contact with the front upper end part 23A which coat | covers the whole surface of the cushion body 22, and the front upper end part 23B which coat | covers the back surface, and is a clip means through the tape 24 which is an inclusion. A flange-shaped joint 26 is formed by joining the end portion with the needle 25 in a state separated by a stapler, and the flange-shaped joint 26 has a thin thickness gradually reduced from the upper edge of the cushioning body 22. The edge 27 is formed. In the body support 21 as described above, the cushioning body 22 is composed of a horizontally long block-shaped foam material having flexibility (flexibility) such as a sponge and breathability as a flexible material, and also a covering body. (23) is formed by impregnating a cured resin in a cloth material, and the cured resin has a property of being cured in a short time by exposing it to moisture, such as adding water such as moisture-cured urethane, or containing water, or Alternatively, it is preferable to use a catalyst curable resin having a property of being cured in a short time by adding a catalyst solution. As such a cover 23, 3M Healthcare Co., Ltd. casting product (so-called cine) is marketed, for example. This casting product has the property of being hardened and reliably cured in a short time when immersed in water.

All of these body supports 21 are enclosed and sealed in the moisture proof bag which is not shown in figure. Therefore, in this storage state, since the coating member 23 is not exposed to moisture, it can be reliably prevented from being hardened, and the moisture-proof bag is opened to add water, to contain water, or to provide a catalyst liquid. It is comprised so that the coating body 23 may harden in a short time by exposing to moisture, such as spraying.

The body support 21 as described above is accommodated from the opening 9 in the bag 1 described above with the upper end 23A and the upper end 23B facing upwards, and the bag 1 is shown in FIG. It arrange | positions and uses to the seat 31 of vehicles etc. as much as possible. That is, in this embodiment, the use state which made it function as the body support which supports the waist part of a user is shown. In Fig. 7, reference numeral 32 denotes a flexible surface fastener for fixing the position attached to the seat 31 so that the longitudinal direction is left and right, and 33 is a neck support.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. First, the body support 21 is pulled out of the moisture-proof bag (not shown), water is sprayed onto the coating body 23 of the body support 21 to impart water, and then the water is wiped off. Thereby, the cured resin impregnated in the coating body 23 starts to harden | cure. Thus, the fasteners 10 and 10A are made to have an opening, the body support 21 is inserted from the opening 9, and the upper end 23A and the upper end of the body support 21 in a state in which the horizontally long bag 1 is upright. 23B is provided on the upper side, and the skin material 7 is placed on the rear side, and is mounted on the seat 31 of a vehicle or the like. At this time, in the present embodiment, one surface fastener 13 is attached to the center of the rear surface of the back cover 3 in the vertical direction and the other surface fastener 32 that is flexible in the left and right directions of the sheet 31. Since the is attached, the bag 1 can be provided at a desired position as long as it is within the joinable range of these surface fasteners 13 and 32. In addition, the vertical and horizontal orientations of the surface fasteners 13 and 32 may be reversed, respectively, and the sheet material may be formed by using the surface material of the sheet 31 as a material to which one surface fastener 13 can be bonded. You may make it possible to install the bag 1 in the desired position of 31). On the other hand, velvet fasteners and the like are used for the surface fasteners 13 and 32.

Subsequently, when the user is seated and the weight is put on the bag 1, the body support 21 is deformed, and by maintaining the predetermined time as it is, the cover 23 maintains and hardens this deformed form. The cushioning body 22 is maintained in the deformed state by the solidification layer (coating body 23).

In this way, the body support body 21 and the front cover material 2 are deformed in a short time to correspond to the seating shape of the user, and the side and the back cover material which are in contact with the seat 31 side of the body support 21. Since (3) is smoothly deformed and solidified to a shape suitable for the sheet 31, it can be provided in a state where position shift with respect to the sheet 31 is difficult.

In the body support 21 as described above, the cushioning body 22 is deformed into a shape suitable for the user, so that the coating body 23 is cured. Thus, the cushioning body 22 is provided at the upper edge portion of the coating body 23. Dwarfization and, in some cases, hardening and insufficiency of the coverings 23 caused by direct contact with each other resulted in the occurrence of a hardened portion lacking in cushioning properties, and the contact with the back, the waist, and the like has been a cause of discomfort. However, in this embodiment, the longitudinal dimension of the front covering material 2 of the bag 1 which accommodates this body support 21 is longer than the back covering material 3, and the upper end of the body support 21 Since the cushion layer 6 is disposed on the back side so as to cover the periphery, and the front covering material 2 is disposed, discomfort to the body is alleviated.

In addition, the moisture-curable resin impregnated into the coating member 23 generates heat during curing, and this heat is transmitted to the user who is seated in order to give a shape, which may cause discomfort to the waist or the like. In addition, the moisture-curable resin causes a difference in the curing time depending on the outside temperature, and the higher temperature hardens in a short time, while the low temperature requires a long time for curing. Thus, the inventors have arranged the heat-insulating layer 5 in the front covering 2 of the body support bag 1 as a means to solve these problems at the same time, thereby trapping the heat generated during the curing reaction and irrespective of the cause of the outside air. It aims to normalize the time until the shape fixing of the support tool 21, and prevents the heat which generate | occur | produced at the time of hardening from being transmitted to the user side.

In addition, after the molding of the body support bag 1, the body support 21 has a larger specific heat than a normal cushioning material, so in the winter, the body temperature of the seated user may be taken away and the waist may become cold. In addition, the situation was not warm enough. However, in this embodiment, the arrangement | positioning of the heat insulation layer 5 in the front covering material 2 of the body support bag 1 also exhibits the effect that body temperature escapes to the body support 21 side is suppressed. Moreover, in this embodiment, both the heat insulation layer 5, the cushion layer 6 and the skin material 7 which comprise the front cover material 2, and the elastic material 8 which comprises the back cover material 3 have air permeability By using it as a material, it is possible to use comfortably, without getting used to it.

As mentioned above, although the bag for body supporters of this invention was demonstrated with reference to attached drawing, this invention is not limited to the said 1st Embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible. For example, FIGS. 10 and 11 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the heat insulation layer 5 and the cushion layer 6 are arranged separately, but in the case of a foam or the like, both heat insulation and cushioning properties are provided. Since some materials also have such a material, it is also possible to integrate the heat insulating layer 5 and the cushion layer 6 into one layer of the heat insulating cushion layer 6A having the function of the heat insulating layer. Moreover, you may use the material which has heat insulation and cushioning property for the skin material 7, In this case, it is also possible to make the front covering material 2 into 1 layer of the skin material 7.

In addition, as the body support 21, it is not limited to the form same as the said embodiment, The shape is not specifically limited, either. In addition, the bag 1 itself can be made into various shapes corresponding to the body support 21.

The present invention is explained in more detail due to the following specific examples.

Example One

A front covering 2 having a width of 460 mm, a height of 270 mm, and a thickness of about 40 mm at the time of storage and having a shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 includes a heat insulating layer 5, a cushion layer 6 (polyurethane foam), and a skin. The body support member 21 having a thickness of 40 mm is formed of ash (7), and the back covering material (3) is made of elastic material (8) (knit paper made of polyester). Press the body support 21 to 20 mm thick with the 'L' shaped tool from the top of the body support bag, and maintain the atmosphere at 23 ° C. to remove the 'L' shaped tool every 10 minutes. The change in thickness was measured. The results are shown in the graph of FIG. In addition, in this experiment example, 21 mm was made into the stable hardening dimension.

As is apparent from FIG. 8, it can be seen that the bag 1 for the body support of Example 1 takes about 30 minutes at 23 ° C. until it reaches a stable curing dimension.

Example 2

A body support 21 having a thickness of 27 mm containing moisture was contained in the bag 1 used in Example 1, and the body support 21 was installed in a vehicle seat as shown in FIG. The temperature of the center part of the front side of the supporter 21, the left center part of the front side, and the left center part of the back side was measured intermittently. The results are shown in the graph of FIG.

As is apparent from FIG. 9, the temperature of the body support 21 is maintained at a higher temperature than the ambient temperature by the bag 1 of the present embodiment, specifically, 40 ° C. or more at the center of the front side and the front side. It was maintained at about 37 degreeC in the left center part, and about 38 degreeC in the left center part on the back side. This is because the heat insulation layer 5 maintains heat generated by the curing of the moisture curable resin. In addition, it can be seen that the temperature difference between the back side and the front side is also reduced accordingly. Moreover, these make normalization of hardening time possible. On the other hand, the temperature rise enough to be felt is not recognized on the front surface of the bag 1 to be seated, and there was no discomfort even when seated for shape provision.

According to the present invention, the cushioning body 22, which is a pressure-deformable support part, is brought into contact with a body part and deformed to accommodate a body support 21 for fixing and using the cushioning body 22 in a shape conforming to the body part. As the bag 1, the bag 1 is a bag-shaped body composed of the front coating material 2 on the side in contact with the body and the back coating material 3 on the back side thereof, and at least the front coating material 2 of the bag-shaped body is a heat insulating layer. Since arrangement | positioning of (5) is carried out, body temperature 21 is restrained from taking away body temperature, and it becomes possible to prevent a part of hips, a waist, etc. from becoming cold, and to improve a usability. In addition, the fixing of the body support 1 is caused by the curing of the moisture-curable resin, or the like, and when the temperature is low, the moisture-curable resin is susceptible to the influence of environmental temperature such as time-consuming curing. Therefore, paying attention to the fact that this moisture-curable resin generates heat at the time of curing, by arranging the heat insulating layer 5 on the front covering 2, the heat generation during the curing reaction is confined to reduce the influence of the environmental temperature to achieve normalization of the curing time. I can do it. Moreover, the heat at the time of hardening is transmitted to a user, and it does not give a discomfort.

In addition, since the cushion layer 6 is disposed on at least the front covering 5 of the bag-shaped body, the cushion layer 6 is interposed between the body support 21 and the body, so that the body support 21 comes into contact with the body support 21. You can improve the texture of your hips, waist or back.

Moreover, since the cushion layer 6 is arrange | positioned so that the upper periphery of the upper end of the body support body 21 which accommodated at least, in the body support body 21, when a moisture hardening type resin etc. harden | cure and fix the shape, it will be edged. In particular, in the upper edge portion, the thickness is thin, so that the cushioning body 22 is thin, or in some cases, a hardened portion or the like in which the sheet-like covering body 23 is directly overlapped is likely to occur. Although it was easy to produce discomfort by touching, the cushion layer 6 is arrange | positioned so that the upper periphery of the upper part of the body support 21 may be covered, and the touch of this upper edge part is relieved and a feeling of use is improved.

Moreover, since the cushion layer 6 is arrange | positioned in the whole area | region of the front covering material 2, and is formed wider than the back covering material 3 so that the said front covering material 2 may extend to the back side, the body support 21 At the edge), especially at the upper edge portion, the thickness becomes thinner, and a part of this inferior cushioning property comes into contact with the body, whereby discomfort is likely to occur, but the cushion layer 6 is disposed throughout the front covering material 2, and the front covering material By forming (2) wide so as to extend to the back side, the texture of this upper edge part is alleviated and the usability is improved.

In addition, since the cushion layer 6A has a function as a heat insulating layer, it is suppressed to lose body temperature to the body support 21, so that parts such as the hips, the waist, and the like are prevented from becoming cold, thereby improving the feeling of use. It is. In addition, the fixing of the body support 21 is caused by the curing of the moisture-curable resin, etc. The moisture-curable resin is susceptible to the influence of environmental temperature, such as time-consuming curing when the temperature is low. In view of the fact that this moisture-curable resin generates heat during curing, by arranging the heat insulation layer 5 on the front covering 2, the heat generation during the curing reaction is confined to reduce the influence of the environmental temperature and to normalize the curing time. I can do it. Moreover, the heat at the time of hardening is transmitted to a user, and it does not give a discomfort.

In addition, since the front covering material 2 has air permeability, it can be used comfortably without stickiness. Moreover, since the opening part 9 was formed in the back covering material 3, the opening part 9 can be formed large without affecting the front covering material 2 which touches a body part, and the body support tool from the opening part 9 is carried out. Insertion and removal of (21) can be made simple. Moreover, since the surface fastener 13 was provided in the surface of the back covering material 3, the bag 1 can be positioned in the seat 31 etc. which provided the surface fastener 13, and the arrangement | positioning of the bag according to a body shape is carried out. It can be easily reproduced.
