Description

  The present invention relates to bedding. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bedding for disaster prevention that can be used as a rescue tool in the event of a disaster.

  Conventionally, a bedding in which a core material filled with resin foam particles is wrapped with a cover is known. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a futon which can be reduced in weight by resin foam particles and has reduced air permeability and settling.

  By the way, in recent years, disasters such as a tsunami due to a large earthquake or a flood due to heavy rain have occurred. In particular, disasters caused by water are causing great damage. Therefore, there is a need for a simple method for protecting yourself from these disasters. A rubber board or the like can be considered as a rescue tool for disaster prevention against water damage. However, it is complicated to use air in an emergency. In addition, if an inflatable boat is prepared in a state where it can float on water from the normal state, it takes a storage place, which is not practical in an area where a large storage space cannot be obtained. Furthermore, a disaster may occur inadvertently such as at midnight. In such a case, it is not easy to appropriately take out and use the disaster prevention supplies.

  The bedding of the present invention is a disaster prevention combined bedding 1 (hereinafter also simply referred to as “bedding 1”). The bedding 1 includes resin foam particles 2 and a bag 3 that accommodates the resin foam particles 2. The resin foam particles 2 have closed cells. This bedding 1 can float in water.

  FIG.1 and FIG.2 has shown an example (the 1st example of a mat | matte) of bedding for disaster prevention combined use. This bedding 1 for disaster prevention is a mat 1A. FIG. 1 is composed of FIGS. 1A to 1C. FIG. 2 is composed of FIGS. 2A to 2C. In FIG. 2A, the inside of the mat 1 </ b> A is drawn so that the upper side of the cover 5 is removed so that the inside of the mat 1 </ b> A can be easily understood. FIG. 2B shows a cross section of the mat 1A in the longitudinal direction. FIG. 2C is an enlarged view of FIG. 2B. 2B and 2C are schematic cross-sectional views showing the bag 3 and the cover 5 with enlarged thicknesses. In FIG. 2, the handle 8 and the light emitting unit 7 are omitted.

  A mat 1 </ b> A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes resin foam particles 2, a bag 3, and a cover 5. The disaster prevention combined bedding 1 has a cushioning function that functions as a bedding. The mat 1A may be a bedding. The mat 1A may have a function of underlaying the futon. A person can lie down on the mat 1A with a pad or mattress. Of course, a person may be placed directly on the mat 1A. The mat 1A can also be used as a futon. The futon may have a function of laying a sheet or the like directly or on a person to lie down. A person can lie down on a mat or futon. This bedding 1 is configured as a rug. In the following, the mat 1A will be described as a representative, but the futon may have the same configuration.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a core material 10 is accommodated in the cover 5. The core material 10 includes resin foam particles 2 and a bag 3. The bag 3 containing the resin foam particles 2 constitutes the core material 10 of the mat 1A. The inside of the bag 3 is filled with resin foam particles 2. The resin foam particles 2 are preferably filled in the bag 3 to such an extent that the core material 10 expands and the shape is maintained.

  The resin foam particles 2 may be particles formed by foaming and curing a resin. Examples of the resin include polyolefin and polyurethane. These resins easily obtain closed cells and are excellent in floating action in water. Moreover, these resins have high durability against repeated compression. The resin foam particles 2 serve as a cushion, and can impart elasticity to the mat 1A. Polyolefin is excellent in heat insulation and has the effect of overcoming cold air from below. For this reason, it is suitable for use in disaster-stricken areas. As the polyolefin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and the like are preferable. As the resin, polyethylene is particularly preferable.

  The resin foam particles 2 have closed cells. Thereby, the effect | action (water floating effect | action) which floats on water is acquired highly. There are two types of resin foaming: a closed-cell system and an open-cell system. However, in the open-cell system, sufficient water floating action cannot be obtained because water enters through the communicating holes. Therefore, the closed cell method is preferable. A resin having closed cells has a structure in which bubbles exist independently in the resin. Therefore, since the air in the closed bubbles is easily retained, the water floating effect is enhanced.

  The resin foam particles 2 preferably have a foaming ratio in the range of 50 to 90 times. Thereby, a high water floating effect is obtained. Moreover, when the expansion ratio of the resin foam particles 2 is within this range, it is easy to achieve both weight reduction and durability.

  The resin foam particles 2 are preferably substantially spherical particles. The resin foam particles 2 preferably have a particle size in the range of 5 to 9 mm. When the particle diameter of the resin foam particles 2 falls within this range, elasticity and breathability suitable for the mat 1A can be easily imparted. Further, the mat 1A is less likely to be set. The resin foam particles 2 may be beads. The resin foam particles 2 may be formed from waste. In that case, the resin foam particles 2 are obtained by crushing the molded product of the resin foam.

  The bag 3 has a function of accommodating the resin foam particles 2. The bag 3 may be formed of cloth. The bag 3 may be formed by overlapping and sewing two pieces of fabric. Alternatively, the bag 3 may be formed by folding and sewing one piece of fabric. The bag 3 is formed by sewing fabric. The plurality of resin foam particles 2 are preferably accommodated in the bag 3 so as to be movable. If the resin foam particles 2 are movable, elasticity can be given to the bedding and the sleeping comfort can be improved. In the mat 1 </ b> A, the resin foam particles 2 are used for the core material 10, so that the cushioning property is improved as compared with the case where a plate (plate-shaped molded body) is used for the core material.

  Examples of the fabric of the bag 3 include, but are not limited to, polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, polyolefin fiber, and polyurethane fiber. Polyester fibers are preferably used because they are easy to process.

  In the example of the mat 1 </ b> A in FIG. 2, there are three core members 10. The three core members 10 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A. At both ends in the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A, when a person lies down, the person's head can be arranged at one end and the person's feet can be arranged at the other end. In the central portion of the mat 1A in the longitudinal direction, when a person lies down, the person's waist can be arranged. When the number of the core members 10 is three, the mat 1A can be easily folded in three, so that the handleability is improved. The number of the core materials 10 is not limited to this, and may be one, two, or four or more.

  The core material 10 has a plurality of cylindrical bag chambers 11 extending in the short direction of the mat 1A. In the example of FIG. 2, the number of the bag chambers 11 is 11 in one core member 10, but is not limited thereto. The number of the bag chambers 11 may be in the range of 5 to 30, for example. The plurality of bag chambers 11 are formed by sewing cloths constituting the bag 3. The bag chamber 11 is divided by sewing the outer material and the lining material in the direction along the short direction of the mat 1A. In the core material 10, the cylindrical bag chamber 11 is formed, so that the resin foam particles 2 filled in the bag chamber 11 are suppressed from moving in the longitudinal direction of the mat 1 </ b> A. Therefore, elasticity suitable for the mat 1A is given.

  In the example of the mat 1A in FIG. 2, an example in which a total of three types of the core material 10 are arranged is shown, but the type and arrangement of the core material 10 are not limited thereto. Two types of the core material 10 may be arranged in different types at both end portions and the central portion, or three types may be arranged in the longitudinal direction.

  The bag 3 may have water repellency or may not have water repellency. When the bag 3 has water repellency, the bag 3 is prevented from absorbing water, so that the water floating effect is improved. The water repellency can be imparted by subjecting the surface of the fabric constituting the bag 3 to a water repellency treatment. Alternatively, the water repellency may be imparted by forming the bag 3 with a fiber having water repellency. The water repellent treatment can be performed with an appropriate water repellent.

  The bag 3 may have a fastener 4 that can be opened and closed. Thereby, the filling of the resin foam particles 2 into the bag 3 is facilitated, and the productivity is improved. Further, the resin foam particles 2 may be removable from the bag 3 through the fastener 4. If the resin foam particles 2 can be taken in and out of the bag 3, the amount of the resin foam particles 2 can be easily adjusted.

  The fastener 4 is preferably disposed on the side portion of the core member 10. Thereby, accommodation of the resin foam particle 2 becomes easy. In FIG. 2, the fastener 4 of the core material 10 is provided at the end of the mat 1A in the short direction. It can be said that the fastener 4 is provided at an end portion in a longitudinal direction of a cylinder constituting the bag chamber 11. The position of the fastener 4 is not limited to this. It is preferable that the fastener 4 is provided so that all the bag chambers 11 can be opened and closed. The fastener 4 can be composed of a line fastener. The fastener 4 may be a chuck or a zipper. Examples of the material of the fastener 4 include metals and resins such as polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, and polyurethane, but are not limited thereto. For example, the fastener 4 may be made of a nylon resin molded body. The fastener 4 may be a waterproof fastener or may not be a waterproof fastener.

  The bedding 1 for disaster prevention includes a cover 5 that houses the core material 10. In the mat 1 </ b> A shown in FIG. 1, the core material 10 is accommodated in the cover 5. In the disaster / combination bedding 1, the cover 5 increases the handleability. Further, the cover 5 gives elasticity to the mat 1A. Moreover, when there are a plurality of core members 10 as shown in FIG. 2, the core members 10 can be combined into one. Further, the presence of the cover 5 improves the feeling of contact when touched by a person. In addition, since the cover 5 is provided, the cover 5 can be easily decorated with a pattern or the like, so that the design is easily improved.

  The cover 5 has a function of accommodating the core material 10. The cover 5 may be formed of a cloth. The cover 5 may be formed by overlapping and sewing two or more fabrics. Alternatively, the cover 5 may be formed by folding and sewing one piece of fabric. The cover 5 is formed by sewing fabric. The cover 5 is formed in a bag shape. A housing space 6 is provided inside the cover 5. A core material 10 is disposed in the accommodation space 6.

  Examples of the fabric of the cover 5 include polyamide fiber, polyester fiber, polyolefin fiber, and polyurethane fiber, but are not limited thereto. Polyamide fibers and polyester fibers are preferably used because they are easy to process. More preferably, the cover 5 is made of polyamide fiber. Since the polyamide fiber can suppress the intrusion of water into the cover 5, it can enhance the water floating effect. Nylon is exemplified as the polyamide fiber.

  The cover 5 preferably has water repellency. Thereby, since the cover 5 is suppressed from absorbing water, the water floating effect is improved. The water repellency can be imparted by subjecting the surface of the fabric constituting the cover 5 to a water repellency treatment. Alternatively, the water repellency may be imparted by forming the cover 5 with a fiber having water repellency. The water repellent treatment can be performed with an appropriate water repellent. Polyamide fibers exemplified by nylon are excellent in water repellency. Therefore, the water repellency of the cover 5 is preferably provided by polyamide fibers exemplified by nylon. The cover 5 is more preferably waterproof. In the case where the cover 5 is waterproof, water can be prevented from entering the cover 5. Therefore, the water floating effect is improved. The polyamide fiber exemplified by nylon can be easily provided with waterproofness.

  The cover 5 preferably has moisture permeability. Thereby, since it is suppressed that moisture accumulates in the cover 5, the air permeability of the mat 1A is improved. When the mat 1A has air permeability, stuffiness is suppressed and a comfortable sleeping comfort can be imparted. Further, the occurrence of mold on the mat 1A is suppressed by the air permeability.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cover 5 may have a partition 13 that separates and arranges the core material 10 when there are a plurality of core materials 10. When the partition 13 exists, it is suppressed that the core material 10 slips within the cover 5. In the cover 5, an accommodation space 6 for arranging the core material 10 is partitioned by a partition 13. One core member 10 is arranged in one partitioned storage space 6. The partition 13 is preferably formed of the same fabric as the cover 5. Thereby, the partition 13 is easily formed. The partition 13 is preferably sewn to the main body of the cover 5. The main body of the cover 5 is composed of an outer material 51 and a lining material 52.

  The core material 10 is preferably sewn to the cover 5. When the core material 10 is sewn to the cover 5, the attachment strength of the core material 10 increases. Moreover, the core material 10 becomes difficult to move inside, and the shift of the core material 10 is suppressed. In this case, the partition 13 may be omitted. Further, the core material 10 may not be sewn to the cover 5. In this case, the core material 10 can be easily accommodated in the cover 5. Even if the core material 10 and the cover 5 are not sewn, the presence of the partition 13 prevents the core material 10 from shifting.

  The cover 5 preferably has a pocket 12. The pocket 12 can accommodate a planar object such as a document. The object stored in the pocket 12 may be valuable. When the pocket 12 is present, valuables can be protected in a disaster by being accommodated in the pocket 12. The pocket 12 prevents the valuables from being scattered.

  The pocket 12 is disposed inside a bag formed by the cover 5. The opening of the pocket 12 is disposed in the cover 5. In FIG. 1A, the pocket 12 provided inside the cover 5 is indicated by a broken line. As shown in FIG. 2C, the pocket 12 may be formed by a fabric 53 for forming the pocket 12. The pocket 12 is formed by forming the fabric 53 into a bag shape. The pocket 12 is disposed between the cover 5 and the core material 10. In the example of FIG. 2C, the pocket 12 is disposed between the lining 52 of the cover 5 and the core material 10. The fabric 53 includes a fabric 53a disposed on the lining 52 side of the cover 5 and a fabric 53b disposed on the core material 10 side. The pocket 12 may be formed by a gap between the fabric of the cover 5 and the fabric for forming the pocket 12. The pocket 12 may be rectangular. The pocket 12 can be provided by fixing a bag formed by sewing the fabric 53 to the cover body. The pocket 12 does not need to communicate with the accommodation space 6. The pocket 12 may be disposed between the outer surface 51 of the cover 5 and the core material 10.

  The pocket 12 is preferably formed of a cloth that allows water to pass through. The pocket 12 preferably has a mesh fabric. The pocket 12 can have a mesh fabric because at least one of the fabric 53a and the fabric 53b is a mesh fabric. If the pocket 12 has a mesh fabric, water that has entered the cover 5 after being used for water can be easily discharged from the pocket 12. The drainage after use becomes easy. In the pocket 12, the fabric 53 a (outer fabric) is preferably a fabric similar to the fabric of the cover 5, and the fabric 53 b (inner fabric) is a mesh fabric.

  The pocket 12 is preferably provided at the end of the mat 1A in the short direction. As a result, the articles can be easily put in and out of the pockets 12 and the handleability is improved. The pocket 12 is preferably opened in the short direction of the mat 1A. There may be one pocket 12 or a plurality of pockets 12. When there are a plurality of pockets 12, the storage property is improved. In the mat 1A of FIG. 1, the pockets 12 are disposed at both ends in the short direction. The number of pockets 12 is two.

  The cover 5 preferably has an openable / closable fastener 9 at the opening of the pocket 12. The fastener 9 can control opening and closing of the pocket. An object can be taken in and out of the pocket 12 through the fastener 9. When the fastener 9 exists, the protection of the article accommodated in the pocket 12 can be enhanced. Further, the fastener 9 can easily take out water that has entered the mat 1A after use of the mat 1A with water. If the fastener 9 is in the open state, the water can be drained from the opening of the fastener 9. At this time, if the pocket 12 has a mesh fabric, drainage can be easily performed.

  The fastener 9 is preferably disposed on the side of the mat 1A. Thereby, it does not become obstructive at the time of use as bedding, and drainage after use with water becomes easy. In the example of FIG. 1, the fastener 9 is disposed at the end of the mat 1 </ b> A in the short direction. The position of the fastener 9 is not limited to this. The fastener 9 has a longitudinal direction arranged along the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A. The fastener 9 may be composed of a line fastener. The fastener 9 may be a so-called chuck or zipper. Examples of the material of the fastener 9 include metals and resins such as polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, and polyurethane, but are not limited thereto. For example, the fastener 9 may be made of a nylon resin molded body. The fastener 9 is preferably a waterproof fastener. Thereby, the penetration | invasion of the water to the cover 5 can be suppressed. The waterproof fastener may have a structure in which water does not easily pass through the opening and closing part when in the closed state.

  The length of the fastener 9 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the length of the opening of the pocket 12 is not particularly limited, but may be in the range of 10 to 30 cm, for example. Although the depth of the pocket 12 is not specifically limited, For example, you may be in the range of 10-50 cm.

  The cover 5 preferably has a light emitting portion 7 that emits light according to external light. When the light emitting unit 7 is present, the mat 1 </ b> A can be easily visually recognized from the outside by the light emitted from the light emitting unit 7 even in the dark such as at night. Therefore, rescue becomes easy.

  The light emission part 7 will not be specifically limited if it has the function to shine according to external light. The light emitting unit 7 can be configured by a light reflector, a phosphorescent material, a phosphor, and the like. The light reflector has a function of reflecting light when light is irradiated from the outside. The luminous body has a function of storing light irradiated from the outside and emitting light when it is dark. The phosphor has a function of shining brightly when irradiated with light from the outside.

  The light emitting unit 7 can be made of a sheet material. The light-emitting portion 7 can be formed by directly applying a light-emitting paint to the cover 5, but is more easily formed by a sheet material. The sheet material may be made of resin or cloth. In FIG. 1, the light emission part 7 is comprised with the strip | belt-shaped sheet material. The light emitting unit 7 can be made of a tape material. The light emitting unit 7 is fixed to the cover 5. The light emitting unit 7 may be sewn to the cover 5. The light emitting part 7 can be easily formed with a light return tape or the like. The light emitting property of the light emitting part 7 can be imparted by including a light emitting paint. Although the material of the sheet material which comprises the light emission part 7 is not specifically limited, A polyamide resin, a polyester resin, polyolefin resin, a polyurethane resin etc. are illustrated. The light emitting unit 7 can be made of nylon, for example. It is preferable that the light emission part 7 is formed with a retroreflection tape.

  In the mat 1A of FIG. 1, the light emitting portions 7 are arranged in a circumferential shape including the front and back surfaces of the mat 1A. Thereby, when floating on water, the light emitting unit 7 can easily come out from the water surface regardless of which surface of the mat 1A is disposed on the upper side, so that it can be easily confirmed from the outside. It is preferable that the light emission part 7 is provided in the both ends of the longitudinal direction of mat | matte 1A. Visibility from the outside is enhanced by providing the light emitting portions 7 at both ends.

  The cover 5 preferably has a handle 8. When the cover 5 has the handle 8, the affected person can hold the body 8 by holding the handle 8 when it floats on the water, and floats on the water using the water floating action of the bedding 1. Can do. Therefore, the rescueability is enhanced. The handle 8 can support a person on the mat 1A floating in water. The handle 8 can also be grasped by a person floating in water near the mat 1A that is not on the mat 1A. When the handle 8 is used, a plurality of people can be rescued. The handle 8 is disposed on the side of the mat 1A. Thereby, it becomes hard to become an obstacle at the time of use as bedding, and the handleability at the time of a rescue operation increases.

  The mat 1 </ b> A in FIG. 1 has a plurality of handles 8. Therefore, the rescueability by the handle 8 increases. The handles 8 are preferably provided at both ends of the mat 1A in the short direction. Thereby, the person on the mat 1A can hold the handle 8 with the left and right hands. In addition, in the vicinity of the mat 1A, it is possible to rescue a plurality of people who are separated at both ends of the mat 1A. A plurality of handles 8 are preferably provided in the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A. It is preferable that a plurality of handles 8 are arranged at intervals over the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A. In the mat 1A of FIG. 1, three handles 8 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the mat 1A on one side in the short direction of the mat 1A. There are a total of six handles 8. When the handle 8 is arranged in this way, the rescueability is enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 8 is folded and placed on the back surface of the mat 1A. When the mat 1A is viewed from the front side, the handle 8 is hidden. Thus, it is preferable that the handle 8 does not pop out at the side of the mat 1A. As a result, it is possible to prevent injuries and damages caused by a human body or an article getting caught on the handle 8. Moreover, when the handle 8 is hidden, the design of the mat 1A is enhanced. The handle 8 can be pulled out and placed on the side of the mat 1A when the handle 8 is used. In FIG. 1C, the handle 8p which is pulled out and is in use in the handle 8 at the lower right of the drawing is indicated by a broken line.

  In the mat 1A of FIG. 1, the handle 8 is composed of a band material 8a. The strip 8a may be made of resin, cloth, or the like. For example, a strong handle 8 is formed in the belt-shaped band member 8a knitted with resin fibers. The handle 8 is fixed to the cover 5. The handle 8 may be sewn to the cover 5. The material of the strip 8a is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyamide resin, polyester resin, polyolefin resin, and polyurethane resin. The strip 8a can be made of polypropylene, for example. The handle 8 can be formed by a portion of the band material 8a that is not sewn to the cover 5.

  As shown in FIG. 1C, the strip 8a constituting the handle 8 is connected to the two handles 8 arranged at both ends of the mat 1A on the back surface of the mat 1A. In this way, the fixing strength of the handle 8 is increased by arranging the band members 8 a constituting the plurality of handles 8. Therefore, the rescueability by the handle 8 is improved. In FIG. 1, the band material 8 a constituting the handle 8 is arranged in a loop shape. Therefore, the fixing strength of the handle 8 is increased.

  The handle 8 is also effective for use as a normal bedding. When the handle 8 is provided, the mat 1A can be easily moved. Furthermore, the handle 8 is also effective in emergency rescue operations including disasters other than floods. The mat 1A having the handle 8 can be used as a stretcher. The person who performs the rescue can lift and move a person (injured person, sick person, etc.) on the mat 1A by holding the handle 8. In order to use as a stretcher, it is preferable that the handle 8 is provided in the both ends of a transversal direction like FIG. Thereby, it becomes possible to lift left and right. Moreover, it is preferable that the strip | belt material 8a which comprises the handle 8 has crossed the mat 1A in the back surface. Thereby, the weight of the person on the mat 1A can be received by the band material 8a, and the person can be easily transported.

  The mat 1 </ b> A that is the disaster prevention combined bedding 1 can float on water. Therefore, when a flood damage such as flood or tsunami occurs, human life is saved by the mat 1A floating in the water. The water floating action of the mat 1 </ b> A is generated by the bubbles of the resin foam particles 2. High buoyancy can be obtained with closed cells. The mat 1A preferably floats an object of 200 kg or more placed on the mat 1A in fresh water. Thereby, a person can be rescued easily at the time of flood. The mat 1A preferably floats an object of 300 kg or more placed on the mat 1A in fresh water, preferably floats an object of 500 kg or more, and preferably floats an object of 1000 kg or more. The object to be floated may be a weight, or a person or a human model may be used.

  The mat 1A can be formed of a material resistant to water. The mat 1A is preferably washable with water. If the mat 1A can be washed with water, it can be washed when the mat 1A becomes dirty, so that the cleanliness of the mat 1A can be maintained. The mat 1A can be drained after washing with water or after use with water. Even if water enters inside, the mat 1A can be used as a mat 1A for sleeping again by drying.

  The size of the mat 1A is not particularly limited, but is preferably a size that allows a person to lie down. The mat 1A may have, for example, a longitudinal length (vertical) in the range of 100 to 300 cm and a lateral length (horizontal) in the range of 50 to 200 cm. For example, the size (210 cm long and 100 cm wide) commonly used for futons and mats can be employed. In the mat 1A, the size can be easily changed at the time of manufacture. Therefore, for example, the lateral length can be reduced. For example, it may be preferable that the lateral length is shorter in order to use in a limited space exemplified by a vehicle such as a ship. Therefore, the length (lateral) in the short direction of the mat 1A may be 100 cm or less.

  The disaster / combination bedding 1 is normally usable as bedding. The mat 1A can be used as a mat when a person lies at bedtime. The mat 1A can be used in a house, a condominium or a building. Since the mat 1A includes the core material 10 filled with the resin foam particles 2, the mat 1A is excellent in elasticity and can give a comfortable feeling to the user. Further, the mat 1A has high durability against repeated compression, and the occurrence of settling due to body weight is suppressed. The mat 1A can be used comfortably and comfortably with a soft feel over a long period of time. Since the mat 1A includes the resin foam particles 2, the mat 1A is lightweight and has excellent handleability. Furthermore, since the core material 10 is an aggregate of the resin foam particles 2, air easily flows through the gaps between the resin foam particles 2. Therefore, the mat 1A is excellent in air permeability and can give a comfortable feeling of use.

  And when a flood damage generate | occur | produces, the bedding 1 for disaster prevention functions as a rescue tool which floats on water. The disaster prevention combined bedding 1 is a buoyancy body. Since the disaster / combination bedding 1 is usually used as a bedding, it is effective in unexpected floods at night. Even if a user who is sleeping using the disaster prevention combined bedding 1 experiences water damage while sleeping, he / she can use the bedding used by himself / herself as a rescue tool and float on the water. Therefore, a disaster prevention tool with excellent rescue performance is provided. In this way, the disaster prevention and bedding 1 is excellent both as a normal bedding and as a rescue tool.

  The mat 1A is effective as a vehicle mat or futon. Vehicles include cars, trains, ships, airplanes and the like. In particular, the mat 1A is effective as a marine mat or a futon. A ship always floats on water, and when the ship is wrecked, it is possible to save lives by using the mat 1A. As a ship, the ship which sails on the sea is preferable. Ships require people to sleep in the ship. In particular, the above-described mat 1A can be used as a rescue tool that floats on water in an emergency while usually being used as a mat or a futon. The ship may be a large ship such as a ferry or a small ship such as a yacht. In the mat 1A, it is possible to reduce the space as a rescue tool. In the mat 1A, a comfortable sleeping feeling can be imparted in the ship. Since the mat 1A is light, the loading weight of the ship can be reduced.

  The mat 1A may be used as an outdoor product. For example, the mat 1A can be used in a tent or the like. Even if water damage occurs during camping, people can be rescued with the mat 1A.

  FIG. 3 shows another example of the bedding for disaster prevention. FIG. 3 is composed of FIGS. 3A to 3D. In FIG. 3B, the inside of the cover 5 is drawn so that the inside of the cover 5 can be easily understood. The bedding for disaster prevention in FIG. 3 is a pillow 1B. This bedding includes resin foam particles 2, a bag 3, and a cover 5. The disaster prevention combined bedding 1 has a cushioning function that functions as a bedding. A person can put his head on the pillow 1B. Of course, a part other than the head may be held. A person can lie down with his head on the pillow 1B. Hereinafter, although the pillow 1B of FIG. 3 is demonstrated, about the same structure as the mat | matte 1A of FIG. 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The pillow 1 </ b> B has a core material 10. The core material 10 includes resin foam particles 2 and a bag 3. The resin foam particles 2 may be the same as those described for the mat 1A. The bag 3 containing the resin foam particles 2 constitutes the core material 10 of the pillow 1B. A bag chamber 11 is provided inside the core member 10. The bag chamber 11 is filled with resin foam particles 2. The resin foam particles 2 are preferably filled to such an extent that the core material 10 expands and the shape is maintained. In the pillow 1B of FIG. 3, the number of the core members 10 is one. The number of the core material 10 is not limited to this, A plurality may be sufficient. Manufacture becomes easy as the core material 10 is one. The bag 3 may be formed of the same material as that described for the mat 1A.

  Also in the pillow 1 </ b> B, the bag 3 preferably has a fastener 4. The reason is the same as above. In FIG. 3, the fastener 4 is disposed at the end in the longitudinal direction. The bag 3 may have water repellency.

  The pillow 1 </ b> B of FIG. 3 includes a cover 5 that houses the core material 10. In the disaster prevention combined bedding 1, the presence of the cover 5 increases the handleability and elasticity. Further, the presence of the cover 5 improves the feeling of contact when touched by a person. In addition, since the cover 5 is provided, the cover 5 can be easily decorated with a pattern or the like, so that the design is easily improved. An accommodation space 6 is provided inside the cover 5. The cover 5 preferably has water repellency. The cover 5 may have the light emitting unit 7 described above. The cover 5 may have the handle 8 described above. The cover 5 may have the pocket 12 and the fastener 9 described above. The cover 5 may be formed of the same material as that described for the mat 1A.

  The pillow 1B preferably has a through hole 15. When the pillow 1 </ b> B has the through hole 15, the pillow 1 </ b> B can be used through the through hole 15 through an arm or a leg when floating. Therefore, the rescueability is enhanced.

  In the pillow 1 </ b> B, the core member 10 has a through hole 15. The bag 3 has a shape having a through-hole 15 and is formed by joining a plurality of fabrics. Although the through-hole 15 is closed by the deformability of the cloth of the bag 3 in a normal state, the through-hole 15 is configured to open when passing an object. In FIG. 3D, the direction in which an object such as an arm or a leg passes through the through hole 15 is indicated by an arrow. The size of the through-hole 15 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a size that allows an arm or a leg to pass through. Therefore, for example, the length of the periphery of the through hole 15 may be 20 cm or more, for example. If the through hole 15 is too large, the pillow 1B may be easily detached from the body when the pillow 1B is mounted on the body. Therefore, for example, the circumference of the through hole 15 may be 150 cm or less, for example. The size of the through hole 15 may be a size that can be worn near the shoulder when the pillow 1B is worn on the arm. Thereby, the convenience as a rescue tool improves.

  In the pillow 1B of FIG. 3, the cover 5 has a lid 5a. In the lid portion 5a, the fabrics constituting the cover 5 are overlapped, and the interior of the lid portion 5a communicates with the accommodating space 6 in which the core material 10 is disposed. When the cover 5 has the lid portion 5a, the through-hole 15 can be covered and used during use as a normal pillow 1B, and usability is improved. Further, when floating on water due to water damage or the like, a hand can be inserted from between the lid portions 5a and the arm can be passed through the through-hole 15 to improve usability (see FIG. 3D).

  The pillow 1B which is the disaster prevention combined bedding 1 can float on water. Therefore, when flood damage such as flood or tsunami occurs, human life is saved by the pillow 1B floating in the water. The water floating action of the pillow 1 </ b> B is generated by the bubbles of the resin foam particles 2. The pillow 1B preferably floats an object of 200 kg or more held on the pillow 1B in fresh water. Thereby, a person can be rescued easily at the time of flood. The pillow 1B preferably floats an object of 300 kg or more held on the pillow 1B in fresh water, preferably floats an object of 500 kg or more, and preferably floats an object of 1000 kg or more. The object to be floated may be a weight, or a person or a human model may be used.

  The disaster / combination bedding 1 is normally usable as bedding. The pillow 1B can be used as a pillow when a person lies at bedtime. Since the pillow 1B has the core material 10 filled with the resin foam particles 2, it is excellent in elasticity and can give a comfortable feeling to the user. Moreover, the pillow 1B has high durability against repeated compression, and the occurrence of settling due to body weight is suppressed. The pillow 1B can be used comfortably and comfortably with a soft feel over a long period of time. Since the pillow 1B includes the resin foam particles 2, the pillow 1B is lightweight and has excellent handleability. Furthermore, since the core material 10 is an aggregate of the resin foam particles 2, air easily flows through the gaps between the resin foam particles 2. Therefore, the pillow 1B is excellent in air permeability and can provide a comfortable feeling of use. And when a flood damage generate | occur | produces, the bedding 1 for disaster prevention functions as a rescue tool which floats on water. The disaster prevention combined bedding 1 is excellent as both a normal bedding and a rescue tool. In particular, it is preferable to use two or more pillows 1B. When there are two pillows 1B, the pillow 1B can be attached to both the left and right arms.

  FIG. 4 shows another example of the disaster prevention / bedding 1. FIG. 4 is composed of FIGS. 4A to 4C. 4 is a mat 1T (a second example of a mat). This bedding includes resin foam particles 2 and a bag 3.

  The mat 1T shown in FIG. 4 has the same configuration as that of the core material 10 of the first example of the mat described above (see the mat 1A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). The mat 1T has a rectangular shape. In the mat 1T, the bag 3 functions as a cover (ie, outer fabric). For this reason, the matter described in the mat 1A is applicable to the mat 1T as it is, assuming that the bag 3 also serves as a cover. The same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  In the mat 1T, the bag 3 filled with the resin foam particles 2 becomes the mat 1T as it is. A plurality of bag chambers 11 for accommodating the resin foam particles 2 are provided. In the mat 1T, the bag chamber 11 is connected over the longitudinal direction of the mat 1T. The number of bag chambers 11 may be in the range of 20-50, for example. In FIG. 4, 37 bag chambers 11 are provided.

  In the mat 1 </ b> T, some of the bag chambers 11 among the plurality of bag chambers 11 are larger than the other bag chambers 11. In FIG. 4B, the size of the second to fourth bag chambers 11 from the right is larger than the other bag chambers 11. The large bag chamber 11 is provided in the vicinity of the end of the mat 1T in the longitudinal direction. The large-sized bag chamber 11 becomes a place where the head is placed when a person sleeps and can function as a pillow. By increasing the size of some of the bag chambers 11, it becomes unnecessary to use a pillow separately, and usability is improved.

  The mat 1T includes handles 8 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the mat 1T. The handle 8 is provided on the bag 3. The handle 8 may be sewn to the bag 3. By providing the handle 8, carrying becomes easy.

  The mat 1T includes a fastener 4 at an end in the short direction. The fastener 4 is provided in the bag 3. However, unlike the fastener 4 of the mat 1A of the first example, the fastener 4 does not extend over the entire length in the longitudinal direction but is provided halfway in the longitudinal direction. The fastener 4 can be opened and closed. A mesh fabric is provided inside the fastener 4 so that the resin foam particles 2 do not jump out.

  The mat 1T is configured such that the resin foam particles 2 do not jump out of the fastener 4. If the resin foam particles 2 pop out, the resin foam particles 2 may scatter and contaminate the surroundings, or the amount of the resin foam particles 2 may decrease. However, if the resin foam particles 2 do not jump out, the resin foam particles 2 are prevented from being accidentally scattered.

  The fastener 4 of the mat 1T functions as a drain. The mat 1T used with water is required to drain water when it comes out of the water because the water enters the bag 3. If the bag 3 does not have a hole through which water passes, it takes a long time to drain the water. However, if the fastener 4 is present, the fastener 4 can be opened and water in the bag 3 can be drained, so that water can be drained easily.

  The mat 1T includes a light emitting unit 7. The light emitting unit 7 is provided in the bag 3. In the mat 1T of the second example, the light emitting unit 7 is provided at least at the end in the longitudinal direction. The light emitting unit 7 may be provided around the mat 1T. The specific mode of the light emitting unit 7 is as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the mat 1T can be rolled up for carrying and storage. The rolled up mat 1T becomes compact. Since the mat 1T is lightweight, it can be easily carried. In FIG. 4C, the rolled up mat 1 </ b> T is stored in the storage band 31. The storage band 31 can be disposed around the mat 1T so that the mat 1T does not spread. The storage band 31 is provided with a handle 32. The handle 32 makes it easy to carry.

  The mat 1T is normally usable as bedding and can be used as a mat when a person lies at bedtime. The mat 1T is also useful as an in-vehicle, marine, or leisure mat. Since the mat 1T has the bag 3 filled with the resin foam particles 2, it is excellent in elasticity and can give a comfortable feeling to the user. When a flood occurs, the mat 1T functions as a rescue tool that floats on water. Since the mat 1T is usually used as a bedding, it is effective in unexpected water damage at the time of going to bed. Even if a user who is sleeping using the disaster prevention combined bedding 1 experiences water damage while sleeping, he / she can use the bedding used by himself / herself as a rescue tool and float on the water. Therefore, a disaster prevention tool with excellent rescue performance is provided. Thus, the mat 1T is excellent as both a normal bedding and a rescue tool.

The bag 3 is provided with a plurality of bag chambers 11. When there are a plurality of bag chambers 11, stable buoyancy can be obtained. In the case where there are a plurality of bag chambers 11, even if they are broken, they can be stopped by partial breakage. The bag chamber 11 is filled with the resin foam particles 2. In the mat 1S, the number of the bag chambers 11 may be in the range of 20 to 50, for example. In FIG. 6, 31 bag chambers 11 are provided.

  The mat 1S includes a pocket 12. The pocket 12 is provided in the cover 5. The pocket 12 can store an object. The cover 5 is provided with a fastener 9, and the pocket 12 can be opened and closed by opening and closing the fastener 9. In the mat 1S, the pocket 12 is provided at the end of the mat 1S in the longitudinal direction. Since the pocket 12 is provided at the end in the longitudinal direction, the object can be stored at a position close to the user's head, so that convenience is improved.

  The pocket 12 is provided between the outer surface 51 of the cover 5 and the core material 10 (see FIGS. 6B and 6C). The pocket 12 is formed by sewing the fabric 53. The fabric 53 includes a fabric 53 a close to the outer surface 51 of the cover 5 and a fabric 53 b close to the core material 10. The pocket 12 preferably has a mesh fabric. For example, the fabric 53b is formed of a mesh fabric. The pocket 12 preferably has a water draining function.

  The mat 1S has a light emitting unit 7 as shown in FIG. The light emitting unit 7 is provided on the cover 5. The specific mode of the light emitting unit 7 may be the same as the mat 1A of the first example.

  The mat 1S includes a tag 22. The tag 22 is formed by protruding a part of the material forming the light emitting unit 7. The tag 22 is provided on the surface of the mat 1S. The tag 22 is provided with columns in which the name, age, sex, and blood type of the user can be described. By describing user information in the tag 22, information required for rescue in the event of a disaster can be quickly obtained. The tag 22 may be provided separately from a material different from the material of the light emitting unit 7.

  The mat 1S includes a handle 8. The handle 8 is provided on the cover 5. In the mat 1S, as the handle 8, a handle 8A (first handle) exposed to the outside and a handle 8B (second handle) not exposed to the outside are provided.

The mat 1S is provided with a bag portion 20 that opens on the outer surface. The bag part 20 is opened on the surface of the mat 1S. The bag portion 20 is provided on the cover 5. The bag portion 20 is formed by sewing the fabric 21 on the outer surface 51 of the cover 5. The bag part 20 has a pocket shape. The fabric 21 is arranged over the short direction of the mat 1S. The fabric 21 is overlaid on the main body of the cover 5 up to the middle of the mat 1S in the longitudinal direction, and the opening of the bag portion 20 is provided at the center of the mat 1S. The bag part 20 is open toward the longitudinal direction. The handle 8B is provided inside the bag portion 20, and does not appear on the outer surface during normal use. The handle 8 </ b> B is provided in the back part of the bag part 20. The handle 8 </ b> B is sewn to the outer material 51 of the cover 5.

  The handle 8B provided in the bag part 20 is used when holding the mat 1S in an emergency. In an emergency, the user can put the hand in the bag portion 20 and hold the mat 1S with the handle 8B. Two handles 8B are provided in the bag portion 20. Although the number of the handles 8B may be one, if the two handles 8B are provided, the mat 1S can be held with both hands, so that the mat 1S can be strongly held. Note that three or more handles 8B may be provided. The handles 8B are preferably provided at both ends of the mat 1S in the short direction. Thereby, since the mat 1S can be held at both ends of the mat 1S, the holding force is increased.

  Since the handle 8B is stored in the bag portion 20, the handle 8B is not exposed to the outside in normal use. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the handle 8B from interfering with use.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of use of the mat 1S. FIG. 7 is composed of FIGS. 7A to 7D. As shown in FIG. 7A, the mat 1S can normally be used as bedding (for example, a mattress). It can also be used as bedding in evacuation shelters during disasters. In FIG. 7A, the laying pad 30 is disposed on the mat 1 </ b> S, and the user 40 lies on the laying pad 30. The laying pad 30 is sized to cover one side of the mat 1S, and is attached to the mat 1S with rubber bands 33 provided at four corners. The feeling of use is improved by using the pad 30. Further, the mat 1S has the opening of the bag portion 20 and the handle 8A appearing on the surface, but the mat pad 1 can conceal them, and the mat 1S can be used safely and comfortably. However, the spread pad 30 may not be provided. Further, the mat 1S may be used with the side with the handle 8A facing down and upside down.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when a fallen object falls from above due to an earthquake or the like, the user 40 can protect himself / herself from the fallen object by wearing the mat 1S. At this time, in the mat 1S, the user 40 can hold the mat 1S by holding the handle 8B in the bag portion 20, and thus can reliably hold the mat 1S. Further, the hand holding the handle 8B can be protected by the bag portion 20. The handle 8B can function as a hand grip.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, when carrying the mat 1S, the mat 1S can be rolled. The mat 1S becomes compact by winding. Since the mat 1S is lightweight, it can be held by the user 40 with one hand and can be easily carried over the shoulder as shown in FIG. 7C. In the mat 1S, the wound mat 1S may be stored in the storage band 31 as shown in the usage example of the mat 1T in FIG. 4C. This facilitates the movement and storage of the mat 1S.

  As shown in FIG. 7D, when a flood is imminent, for example, when a tsunami is imminent or when the water of an increased river is imminent, the user 40 gets on the mat 1 </ b> S and takes the bag portion 20. Both hands can be put in and the handle 8B can be held with both hands. Thereby, the user 40 can get on the mat 1S stably, and can float on the water and protect himself from water damage. Moreover, the bag part 20 is arrange | positioned in front of a face, and can have a function as a water shield. The hand holding the handle 8B is protected by the bag portion 20. The bag portion 20 can suppress physical harm to the hand or cooling of the hand.

  As described above, the mat 1S can normally be used as a bedding and can be used as a mat when a person lies at bedtime. Since the mat 1S has the bag 3 filled with the resin foam particles 2, it is excellent in elasticity and can give a comfortable feeling to the user. When a flood occurs, the mat 1S functions as a rescue tool that floats on water. The mat 1S can float with a person on it. Since the mat 1S is usually used as bedding, it is effective in unexpected water damage at the time of going to bed. Even if a user who is sleeping using the disaster prevention combined bedding 1 experiences water damage while sleeping, he / she can use the bedding used by himself / herself as a rescue tool and float on the water. Therefore, a disaster prevention tool with excellent rescue performance is provided. Thus, the mat 1S is excellent both as a normal bedding and as a rescue tool.

  The mat shown in FIG. 1 was prototyped. The resin foam particles are made of foamed polyethylene. The core bag is made of polyester fiber. The cover is made of a nylon fiber cloth.

  A comfortable feeling of use was obtained when a person lay down using the mat. Therefore, it was confirmed that it is excellent as a bedding.

  Next, when the mat was released to the lake (freshwater lake), the mat floated on the water. When a person placed on the mat that floated in the water, the mat could float on the water without sinking. FIG. 8 is a photograph showing a use state of the mat when the water is floating. As shown in FIG. 8, the mat can make a person float. Also, with this mat, a person lying on the mat on land can be moved with a handle and can be used as a stretcher.

  Furthermore, as an experiment assuming use in the sea, in a wave experimental facility, a 100 kg weight was placed on the mat and left for 72 hours, and a wave with a cycle of 1.0 s and a wave height of 5 cm was operated for 24 hours. As a result, it was found that the mat does not capsize or sink, and can be used as a substitute for an emergency bag.

  As described above, the disaster-prevention bedding satisfies the function as a bedding and is excellent as a disaster-prevention tool and a rescue tool.
