Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to bedding.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various beddings having a deodorizing effect have been conventionally proposed. As such bedding, in particular, bedding containing activated carbon is widely known.

However, when going to bed, especially when it is necessary to continuously lie down on the bedding for a comparatively long time, such as a sick person, an elderly person, an infant, etc., deodorization is performed within a long time. There was a problem in that the effect was diminished, and the odor peculiar to the pad to be used was generated, and in addition to bed sores, it caused irritation to allergic skin.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bedding having a good heat retaining function and at least a deodorizing and deodorizing function.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Such an object is achieved by the present invention of the following (1) to (3). (1) Bedclothes containing at least one of eubacteria, staphylococci, and algae having a deodorizing effect and a far-infrared ray-generating substance. (2) The bedding according to (1) above, wherein at least one of the eubacteria, the filamentous fungi and the algae is a soil fungus. (3) The bedding according to (1) above, wherein at least one of the eubacteria, the filamentous fungi and the algae is an aerobic bacterium.

In the present invention, bedding refers to all comforters such as comforters, mattresses, sheets, blankets, and top covers used at bedtime. In the present specification, the term "bacterium" may be used as a term that covers all of the above-mentioned eubacteria, staphylococci, and algae.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the bedding of the present invention, far-infrared ray-generating substances bring a very good heat-retaining effect to sleeping persons, and the decomposition action of soil bacteria causes nutrition of microorganisms such as bacteria and bacteria that cause odor. The source substance is decomposed to lose its function as a nutrient source, which suppresses the growth of the microorganisms, thus providing deodorizing and deodorizing effects.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a bedding according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In the following description of the embodiments, a mattress is used as an example, but it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a mattress 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The mattress 1 is obtained by wrapping a batting 2 with a futon skin 3. In the batting 2, a bacteria-carrying sheet 4 and a far-infrared ray-generating substance-carrying sheet 5 extending over almost the entire surface of the futon are embedded. It is arranged in a shape.

As the batting 2, it is possible to preferably use ordinary cotton, wool, genuine cotton, camel, polyester or synthetic fiber such as rayon.

It is preferable that the duvet 3 be made of a normal cloth made of cotton, wool, silk or synthetic fibers such as polyester or rayon.

The bacterium-supporting sheet 4 uses a natural fiber such as cotton or hemp or a chemical fiber such as nylon, polypropylene, polyester or the like and a cloth formed in the form of a non-woven fabric as a base. Bacteria are carried on the cloth.

As bacteria, eubacteria, actinomycetes or algae are preferable. Examples of the eubacteria include genus Ammonia-oxidizing genus, genus Nitrate, genus Pseudomonas, genus Streptomyces, genus Penicillium, and the like. Examples of actinomycetes include Nocardia. Examples of algae include cyanobacteria.

Specific examples of such bacteria include ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (nitrites); nitric acid bacteria; sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (bacteria that utilize hydrogen sulfide as a hydrogen donor, green sulfur bacteria family / examples: Aerobic bacteria such as Beggiatoa and Thiobacillus); cellulolytic bacteria (aerobic and anaerobic bacteria); manganese-oxidizing bacteria (organotrophic bacteria); manganese-reducing bacteria (black mold group-protozoa) ); Nitrifying bacteria; actinomycetes (chitin-degrading bacteria); methane-oxidizing bacteria; spore-forming bacteria; cellulosic filamentous fungi; lignin-degrading bacteria; iron-oxidizing bacteria; iron-reducing bacteria; sulfate-reducing bacteria;

In the present invention, among these, a bacterium belonging to the genus Ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (nitrite bacterium), a nitrite genus, a genus Rhizobacteria (sulfur bacterium), a cellulolytic bacterium, a Pseudomonas genus, etc. Actinomycetes such as Myces spp. And Penicillium spp. And algae such as cyanobacteria are preferably used.

Of these, the former is preferable among aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria.

Actinomycetes have the property of being located between filamentous fungi and bacteria, and both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria exist.

Most of the above-mentioned bacteria are collected as soil fungi.

Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (nitrites) and nitric acid bacteria convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen. This action is called nitrification and is known to be carried out through the following two steps. _{NH 3 + 3O = HNO 2 +} H 2 O HNO 2 + O = HNO 3

The ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (nitrite) contributes to the action of oxidizing ammonia in the former stage into nitrite, and the nitrate bacterium contributes to the action of further converting the generated nitrite in the latter stage into nitric acid.

The principle of preventing the generation of odor by such bacteria is as follows.

That is, the bacterium decomposes, oxidizes or reduces a substance serving as a nutrient source of the microorganism causing the odor (for example, nitrogen system) to lose the function as the nutrient source, and thus the propagation of the above-mentioned microorganism. Is suppressed and generation of odor is prevented.

In addition, bacteria, especially actinomycetes, have a phagocytosis action, which kills the microorganisms causing the odor and coagulates or precipitates the substance serving as the nutrient source. Effectively reduce the amount of nutrients.

In the present invention, one or more of the above bacterial groups can be used.

Particularly, in the present invention, it is preferable to use eubacteria and / or actinomycetes in combination with algae. The reason is that the carbon dioxide assimilation that accompanies the formation of algae supplies oxygen to aerobic bacteria and actinomycetes, and promotes the reproduction of actinomycetes.

In this case, the ratio of the amounts of eubacteria, actinomycetes, and algae used is not limited at times, but when all of the above three species are used, the eubacteria are 0.5 to 3, It is particularly preferable that the amount of algae is 0.8 to 2, and that of algae is about 0.05 to 2, particularly about 0.1 to 0.5.

As a method for supporting the soil bacterium on such a carrier, for example, the soil bacterium (original bacterium) is added to water, well stirred to prepare a treatment liquid, and the carrier in the form of cloth or the like is added to the treatment liquid. There is a method of soaking for a certain period of time, then pulling it up and naturally drying it. Either method may be adopted.

In addition, culture of soil fungi is carried out, for example, by carbon sources such as glucose, sucrose, maltose, dextrin, glycerin and starch, nitrogen sources such as peptone, meat extract, yeast extract, malt extract and casein, NaCl, It can be carried out by aeration and stirring in a neutral liquid medium using an inorganic salt or the like such as K ₂ HPO ₄ , MgSO ₄ , CuSO ₄ .

At this time, the pH of the medium is about 5 to 8, particularly about 6.5 to 7.5, and further 7. About 2 is preferable. The culture temperature is usually about 20 to 35 ° C, and preferably about 30 ° C.

The amount of soil bacterium carried on the carrier depends on the above-mentioned carrying method, particularly the conditions of culture and the components of the culture medium, but the carried amount is 500 to 20 billion per 1 cm ³ , preferably 1 to 100 billion. It should be 100 million.

The details of such soil fungus are described in the following documents.

2) Fungus Picture Book, Volume 1195-, Shunichi Udagawa et al., Kodansha Scientific (1977)

3) Microbiology for Environmental Purification, Ryuichi Sudo, Kodansha (1982)

The far-infrared ray-generating substance supporting sheet 5 is a synthetic fiber such as polyester or rayon, and particles of oxide ceramics having far-infrared radiation characteristics are preferably mixed in the fiber. The far-infrared emitting oxide ceramics used here include clay ceramics to which M metal oxides such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide and tin oxide are added and sintered. Specifically, ZrO ₂ -SiO ₂ ceramics · Al ₂ O ₃ -SiO ₂ based ceramics · TiO ₂ -Cr ₂ O ₃ based ceramics _{· Al 2 O 3 - (Si} , Ti) C 2 ceramics · (Al, Fe, B, Cr) ₂ O ₃ —SiO ₂ — (alkali metal, alkaline earth metal) oxide-based ceramics.

Here, the oxide ceramics has a temperature of 35.5 to 36. When it is heated to 5 ° C., it has a far-infrared emission characteristic that emits an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength peak of 8 to 14 μm, which coincides with the infrared absorption wavelength of the human body.

In the above examples, the bacteria and the far-infrared ray-generating substance are carried on different carrying sheets, but they may be carried on the same carrying sheet. Further, without using the supporting sheet, bacteria and far-infrared ray-generating substance may be directly attached to the batting 2, or may be supported on the futon 3. In this sense, in the present invention, the case where bacteria and far-infrared ray generating substances are carried on the futon 3 is also “built-in”.

Experimental Example First, 1 liter of a culture solution of a bacterium containing an ammonia oxidizing bacterium and a nitric acid bacterium was added to 10 liters of water and mixed well to prepare a treatment liquid. On the other hand, a non-woven fabric (manufactured by Asahi Kasei, product name Estal) was cut into a length of 150 cm and a width of 100 cm to prepare a bacteria-carrying sheet. Then, the bacteria-supporting sheet was immersed in the treatment solution for 3 minutes, then pulled up and dried to prepare a bacteria-supporting sheet supporting bacteria.

Next, as the far-infrared ray-generating material supporting sheet, a commercially available far-infrared ray-generating cloth, Lightace made by Unitika, cut into a length of 150 cm and a width of 100 was used.

Using the wool as the batting and the cotton as the duvet, and further using the above-mentioned bacteria-supporting sheet and far infrared radiation generating substance-supporting sheet, a mattress having the structure shown in FIG. 1 was prepared. When I used it on a bedridden old man and heard the feeling of use, I heard that he could sleep better at any time. In addition, I was asked to use it (without washing) for 5 consecutive days, but no odor was noticeable.
