DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, a table cushion 50A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. As shown in Figure 1, the table cushion 50A has, for example, a so-called mattress structure and can be changed between an unfolded state (see Figures 1 and 2) in which the first to third cushion bodies 10A to 10C are arranged on the same plane, and a folded state (see Figure 3) in which the cushion is folded in three.

[0009] In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the table cushion 50A is in an unfolded state, and the direction in which the first to third cushion bodies 10A to 10C are arranged in the unfolded state is referred to as the "vertical direction H1", the thickness direction of the table cushion 50A is referred to as the "vertical direction H3", and the direction perpendicular to the "vertical direction H1" and the "vertical direction H3" is referred to as the "horizontal direction H2". In addition, when the "first to third cushion bodies 10A to 10C" are not to be distinguished from one another, they are simply referred to as the "cushion bodies 10A to 10C".

[0010] 1, the cushion bodies 10A-10C are each substantially the same size and have a rectangular plate shape (more specifically, a rectangular parallelepiped shape flattened in the up-down direction H3). The planar shape of each of the cushion bodies 10A-10C is, for example, a rectangle in which the horizontal direction H2 is longer than the vertical direction H1, and the overall planar shape of the table cushion 50A in which they are lined up is also a rectangle in which the horizontal direction H2 is shorter than the vertical direction H1.

[0011] The overall size of the table cushion 50A is large enough to be laid on a desk or table. Specifically, the size of the table cushion 50A in the vertical direction H1 in the unfolded state is, for example, 210 to 420 [mm], the size of the horizontal direction H2 is, for example, 150 to 300 [mm], the size of the vertical direction H3 is, for example, 30 to 60 [mm], and the planar shape is, for example, about B5 size. In addition, the size of the table cushion 50A in the vertical direction H1 in the folded state is, for example, 70 to 140 [mm], the size of the horizontal direction H2 is, for example, 150 to 300 [mm], and the size of the vertical direction H3 is, for example, 90 to 180 [mm]. More preferably, in the unfolded state of the table cushion 50A, the size in the vertical direction H1 is 250 to 300 mm, the size in the horizontal direction H2 is 180 to 210 mm, and the size in the up-down direction H3 is 30 to 50 mm; and in the folded state of the table cushion 50A, the size in the vertical direction H1 is 80 to 100 mm, the size in the horizontal direction H2 is 180 to 210 mm, and the size in the up-down direction H3 is 90 to 150 mm.

[0012] The table cushion 50A is not limited to the above specific dimensions as long as it is large enough to be laid on a desk or table. The number of cushion bodies 10A to 10C in the table cushion 50A of this embodiment is three, but it may be two, or four or more. The planar shape of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C in this embodiment is a horizontally long rectangle, but it may be a vertically long rectangle or even a square. Similarly, the planar shape of the entire table cushion 50A is a vertically long rectangle in this embodiment, but it may be a horizontally long rectangle or even a square.

[0013] 2, the first to third cushion bodies 10A to 10C have their entire outer surfaces covered with first to third cover parts 20A to 20C made of cloth, respectively, and are provided with an anti-slip member 30 on their undersides. The anti-slip member 30 is, for example, a rectangular soft resin sheet that is slightly smaller than the planar shape of each of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C. The entire underside of each of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C is covered with the anti-slip member 30, except for the outer edge parts.

[0014] The anti-slip member 30 may cover the entire lower surface of each of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C, or may be distributed at multiple locations on the lower surface of each of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C to cover a portion of the lower surface. Furthermore, the lower surface of the anti-slip member 30 may be uneven or flat. The anti-slip member 30 may be configured to slightly protrude laterally from each of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C. Furthermore, the anti-slip member 30 may be provided so as to straddle the third cushion body 10C located at one end in the vertical direction H1 and the second cushion body 10B in the center.

[0015] Considering that a computer mouse is operated on the top surfaces of the first cushion body 10A located at the other end of the table cushion 50A in the vertical direction H1 and the second cushion body 10B in the center, the first and second cover parts 20A, 20B are formed of a synthetic resin woven fabric that has small irregularities and is not prone to fluffing. The top surfaces of the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B correspond to the "pair of mouse operation surfaces" in the claims.

[0016] The third cover part 20C is made of a mesh or a cool fabric having a cool-to-the-touch functionality, or a raised material or a warm fabric having a warm-to-the-touch functionality. The third cover part 20C may have a water-absorbing and quick-drying functionality.

[0017] Among the first to third cushion bodies 10A to 10C, the first to third cushion main bodies 11A to 11C, which are contents covered with the first to third cover portions 20A to 20C, are configured as follows.

[0018] The first to third cushion bodies 11A to 11C are urethane chip molded products. The third cushion body 11C has lower elasticity than the first and second cushion bodies 11A, 11B. Specifically, the third cushion body 11C has a smaller degree of compression during molding than the first and second cushion bodies 11A, 11B. The urethane foam used in this embodiment is, for example, soft urethane, and the density after molding of the first and second cushion bodies 11A, 11B is 100 to 130 [kg / m 3 ], and the third cushion body 11C is 60 to 100 [kg / m 3 More preferably, the first and second cushion bodies 11A and 11B have a compressive strength of 110 to 120 [kg / m 3 ], and the third cushion body 11C is 70 to 90 [kg / m 3 The urethane foam may be new or recycled.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the cushion bodies 10A to 10C are connected to each other, for example, by hinge parts 20P and 20Q extended from the cover parts 20A to 20C. Specifically, the hinge part 20P is formed over the entire outer edge part of the upper surface side of the first cushion body 10A and the second cushion body 10B that overlap each other in the unfolded state (see FIG. 1). On the other hand, the hinge part 20Q is formed over the entire outer edge part of the lower surface side of the side surface of the third cushion body 10C and the second cushion body 10B that overlap each other in the unfolded state. As a result, the table cushion 50A can be folded so that the upper surfaces (i.e., the upper main planes) of the first and second cushion bodies 10A and 10B overlap each other, and the lower surfaces (i.e., the upper main planes) of the second and third cushion bodies 10B and 10C overlap each other, as shown in FIG. 3, to put the entire table cushion 50A into the folded state described above.

[0020] The hinge parts 20P, 20Q are extended from the cover parts 20A to 20C, but may be externally attached to the cover parts 20A to 20C. The hinge parts 20P, 20Q in this embodiment are formed over the entire lateral direction H2 of the table cushion 50A, but may be provided only in a part of the lateral direction H2 of the table cushion 50A.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 2, the second and third cushion bodies 10B, 10C are provided with a male member 41 and a female member 40B of a hook-and-loop fastener, which engage with each other, on the side surfaces 25B, 25C of the second and third cover parts 20B, 20C that overlap each other in the unfolded state. The male member 41 and the female member 40B of the hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the entire side surfaces 25B, 25C of each cushion body 10B, 10C, or may be provided on only a part of the side surfaces 25B, 25C. The male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener corresponds to the "second hook-and-loop fastener" in the claims, and the female member 40B of the hook-and-loop fastener corresponds to the "third hook-and-loop fastener" in the claims.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first cushion body 10A is provided with a connecting piece 24 that protrudes outward from a side surface 25A that is disposed at the other end of the first cover portion 20A in the vertical direction H1. The connecting piece 24 is in the form of a foldable strip and protrudes from the center of the outer edge of the upper surface side of the side surface 25A. The connecting piece 24 is provided with a female member 40A of a hook-and-loop fastener at the tip portion of the surface that faces outward when placed on the side surface 25A, and as shown in Fig. 3, when placed on the side surface 25B of the cover portion 20B of the second cushion body 10B in the folded state, it can be engaged with a male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener. The female member 40A of the hook-and-loop fastener corresponds to the "first hook-and-loop fastener" in the claims.

[0023] Further, the side surface 25A is formed with a storage portion 26 into which the tip end of the connecting piece 24 is inserted. The storage portion 26 is in the shape of a strip extending in the horizontal direction H2, and both ends are connected to the side surface 25A. When the connecting piece 24 is placed on the side surface 25A, the tip end of the connecting piece 24 can be stored between the storage portion 26 and the side surface 25A. The connecting piece 24 and the storage portion 26 may be made of the same fabric as the cover part 20A, or may be made of a different fabric.

[0024] An opening (not shown) is provided on the side of each of the cover parts 20A-20C along the circumferential direction, which can be opened and closed by opening and closing means such as a slide fastener. When each of the cover parts 20A-20C becomes dirty or damaged, each of the cushion bodies 11A-11C can be removed from the opening, and each of the cover parts 20A-20C can be washed or repaired. Alternatively, the opening may not be provided with an opening and closing means, and after each of the cushion bodies 11A-11C is stored, the opening may be closed by sewing to prevent insertion and removal.

[0025] The configuration of the table cushion 50A of this embodiment has been described above. Next, the effects of the table cushion 50A will be described.

[0026] The table cushion 50A of this embodiment has a so-called mattress structure in which the rectangular flat cushion bodies 10A-10C of approximately the same size are hinged via the hinge parts 20P, 20Q, so that it is less likely to lose its shape and easier to fold than a conventional mattress structure. In this way, since it is less likely to lose its shape and the top surface is kept flat, it can be used not only as a pillow for napping, but also as a mouse pad for a computer, for example.

[0027] Furthermore, since the underside of each of the cushion bodies 10A-10C in the unfolded state is provided with an anti-slip member 30, the table cushion 50A in the unfolded state is stable on a desk or table and can be used comfortably whether it is used as a pillow or a mouse pad, as shown in FIG.

[0028] Furthermore, when used as a mouse pad in the unfolded state, the upper surfaces of the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B, which have hinge portions 20P formed on their upper surfaces in the unfolded state and form a continuous flat surface, are used as the mouse operating surface, and the third cushion body 10C, which has lower elasticity than the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B, is used as a wrist rest for supporting the wrist when using the mouse, thereby providing soft support for the wrist and enabling more comfortable mouse operation.

[0029] Moreover, the cover 20C of the third cushion body 10C on which the wrist is placed is made of a cool or warm fabric, allowing for more comfortable mouse operation.

[0030] In addition, in the unfolded state, as described above, the upper surface between the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B is formed into a continuous flat surface by the hinge portion 20P, thereby preventing a gap from being created between the cushion bodies 10A, 10B when a load is applied from above.

[0031] On the other hand, the second and third cushion bodies 10B, 10C are connected at the bottom by the hinge portion 20Q in the unfolded state, so that a gap is likely to occur between the cushion bodies 10B, 10C when a load is applied from above. In contrast, in this embodiment, the side surfaces of the cushion bodies 10B, 10C that overlap each other in the unfolded state are provided with male and female hook-and-loop fastener members 41 and 40B that engage with each other, so that the gap between the cushion bodies 10B, 10C in the unfolded state is less likely to widen, and the shape of the table cushion 50A can be stabilized. This allows the table cushion 50A to be used comfortably as both a pillow and a mouse pad.

[0032] In addition, when the table cushion 50A is folded and used as a pillow, as shown in Fig. 3, by folding the first cushion body 10A with the surface with the anti-slip member 30 facing downward, the low-elastic third cushion body 10C is placed on the top of the table cushion 50A, and the higher-elastic first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B are placed below it. As a result, the resilience of the third cushion body 10C on which the head is placed is low, and the resilience of the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B below it is high, so that as a pillow, the feeling of hitting the bottom can be suppressed while maintaining a soft feel, and it can be used comfortably.

[0033] Moreover, the upper surface of the third cushion body 10C on which the head is placed is made of a cool or warm fabric, so that the user can use the third cushion body 10C more comfortably.

[0034] In addition, in the folded state, the anti-slip members 30 between the second and third cushion bodies 10B, 10C come into contact with each other, preventing lateral displacement due to a load applied in a planar direction or obliquely from above.

[0035] On the other hand, the slippery cover parts 20A, 20B of the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B abut against each other in the folded state, so that lateral displacement due to loads from a planar direction and diagonally upward is not prevented. In contrast, in this embodiment, the female member 40A of the hook-and-loop fastener of the connecting piece 24 of the first cushion body 10A is engaged with the male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener on the side surface 25B of the second cushion body 10B, thereby restricting the displacement of the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B from each other and stabilizing the shape of the table cushion 50A in the folded state. This allows it to be used comfortably as a pillow.

[0036] In other words, in the table cushion 50A of this embodiment, the male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener of the second cushion body 10B engages with the female member 40B of the hook-and-loop fastener of the third cushion body 10C in the unfolded state, and engages with the female member 40A of the hook-and-loop fastener of the first cushion body 10A in the folded state.By using the male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener of the second cushion body 10B for both purposes, the shape of the table cushion 50A can be stabilized in both the folded and unfolded states.

[0037] In addition, the connecting piece 24 having the female member 40A of the hook-and-loop fastener used in the folded state can be stored in the storage section 26 provided on the side surface 25A of the first cushion body 10A in the unfolded state, and fixed so as not to get in the way.

[0038] [Other embodiments] In the table cushion 50A of the embodiment, the cushion bodies 10A to 10C have the same size, but one or both of the sizes in the up-down direction H3 and the length direction H1 of some or all of the cushion bodies 10A to 10C may be different. For example, as in the table cushion 50B shown in FIG. 4A, the first and second cushion bodies 10A and 10B may have the same size, and the third cushion body 10C may be larger in the up-down direction H3 than the first and second cushion bodies 10A and 10B. With this configuration, when the table cushion 50B in the unfolded state is used as a mouse pad, the position of the wrist is higher than the surface on which the mouse is placed, and the strain on the wrist during mouse operation can be reduced.

[0039] Also, like a table cushion 50C shown in FIG. 4B, the top surface of the third cushion body 10C in the unfolded state may be inclined so as to gradually increase in the vertical direction H3 toward the second cushion body 10B.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the entire third cover part 20C is made of a cool-sensing fabric or a warm-sensing fabric, but the third cover part 20C may be made of the same fabric as the first and second cover parts 20A and 20B, and may have a surface layer made of a cool-sensing fabric or a warm-sensing fabric on the upper surface of the third cover part 20C. In this case, if the surface layer is removable, the cool-sensing fabric, the warm-sensing fabric, or a preferred fabric can be appropriately attached to the upper surface of the third cushion body 10C according to the season or the environment during use.

[0041] In addition, the entire upper surface of the first and second cushion bodies 10A and 10B that can be used as a mouse operation surface in the unfolded state may be provided with a surface layer made of a material that improves operability as a mouse operation surface. Also, the surface layer may be removable.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the cushion bodies 10A to 10C are hinged to each other, but only the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B may be hinged to each other, and the third cushion body 10C may not be connected. With this configuration, it is possible to use only the first and second cushion bodies 10A, 10B, or to use three cushions 10A to 10C. When using three cushions 10A to 10C, in the unfolded state, the female member 40B of the hook-and-loop fastener of the third cushion body 10C may be engaged with the male member 41 of the hook-and-loop fastener of the second cushion body 10B, and in the folded state, the anti-slip members 30 of the second and third cushion bodies 10B, 10C may be overlapped with each other. Furthermore, according to this configuration, the third cushion body 10C can be selected according to the season and the environment at the time of use, for example, by using the third cushion body 10C covered with the cover 20C made of a cooling fabric in summer and using the third cushion body 10C covered with the cover 20C made of a warming fabric in winter.

[0043] Furthermore, a separate auxiliary cushion body may be added to the cushion bodies 10A to 10C of the above-described embodiment so that they can be used in the unfolded or folded state.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the shape of the table cushion 50A in the unfolded state and the folded state is stabilized by engaging the hook-and-loop fasteners provided on the cushion bodies 10A to 10C with each other, but a configuration in which magnets or snap buttons are provided instead of the hook-and-loop fasteners and the cushion bodies are engaged with each other may be used. Also, the connecting piece 24 is configured to be accommodated in the accommodation portion 26 of the side surface 25A of the first cushion body 10A, but the connecting piece 24 may be configured to be fixed to the side surface 25A with a magnet, a snap button, or the like.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the cushion bodies 11A to 11C are urethane chip molded products, but they may be molded products of urethane foam. They may also be molded felt, resin molded products, or products made by combining recycled waste materials, etc.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the cushion bodies 10A to 10C are configured so that one cushion main body 11A to 11C is stored in each of the cover portions 20A to 20C, but each cover portion may be configured so that multiple cushion main bodies are stored in a line in a planar direction, or stacked in the thickness direction.

[0047] In addition, each of the cushion main bodies 11A to 11C may not be molded into a flat plate shape, but may be made of cotton or urethane chips, which are filled into each of the cover portions 20A to 20C to form the rectangular, flat cushion bodies 10A to 10C.

[0048] In the above embodiment, each cushion body 10A to 10C is configured such that cover portions 20A to 20C housing cushion main bodies 11A to 11C are hingedly connected to each other. However, the cushion bodies 11A to 11C may be directly hingedly connected to each other without including cover portions 20A to 20C.

[0062] [Feature 13] The table cushion (50B) is described in any one of features 7 to 12, wherein the first and second cushion bodies (10A, 10B) have the same thickness, and the third cushion body (10C) is thicker than the first and second cushion bodies (10A, 10B).

[0063] The table cushion (50A, 50B, 50C) of Feature 1 has a so-called mattress structure in which a plurality of rectangular flat cushion bodies (10A, 10B, 10C) are hinged, so that it is less likely to lose its shape and is easier to fold than a conventional mattress structure. In addition, the table cushion (50A, 50B, 50C) of Feature 1 is less likely to lose its shape and the top surface is kept flat, so it can be used as a mouse pad, for example, in addition to a pillow for napping.

[0064] In the tabletop cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of features 2 and 8, the cushion body (10C) at one end in the unfolded state has lower elasticity than the other cushion bodies (10A, 10B), so that when the tabletop cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) are used as mouse pads, when the wrist to operate a mouse is placed on the cushion body (10C) at one end, the wrist is supported softly, allowing comfortable mouse operation. Also, in the tabletop cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of feature 9, the upper surface or the entirety of the cushion body (10C) at one end in the unfolded state is covered with a cool-sensing fabric or a warm-sensing fabric, allowing for more comfortable mouse operation.

[0065] The table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of features 3 and 7 are provided with an anti-slip member (30) on one of the front and back sides to prevent slipping on a desk or table, so that whether used as a pillow or a mouse pad, the table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) are stable on a desk or table and can be used comfortably.

[0066] The table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of features 4 and 7 have at least a part of the other surface of the front and back that is a mouse operation surface on which a computer mouse can be slid and operated, so that the mouse can be operated comfortably. Here, in the table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) in the folded state, if the mouse operation surfaces overlap each other, the mouse operation surfaces may slide when the table cushions are used as a pillow in the folded state, and the shape of the pillow in the folded state may become unstable. However, in the table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of features 5 and 11, the pair of mouse operation surface cushion bodies (10A, 10B) are provided with a pair of slippage prevention parts (40A, 41) that engage with each other in the folded state and prevent the pair of mouse operation surface cushion bodies (10A, 10B) from slipping, so that the shape of the pillow in the folded state is stable.

[0067] In the table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) of features 6 and 10, hook-and-loop fasteners (41, 40B) that can be engaged with each other are provided on the sides of the cushion bodies (10B, 10C) that overlap in the unfolded state, so that the shape of the table cushions (50A, 50B, 50C) in the unfolded state is stable.

[0068] In the table cushion (50A, 50B, 50C) of feature 12, the hook-and-loop fasteners (41, 40B) that connect the cushion bodies (10B, 10C) to each other in the unfolded state and part of the hook-and-loop fasteners (40A, 41) that connect the cushion bodies (10A, 10B) to each other in the folded state can be combined.

[0069] In the table cushion (50B) of feature 13, when it is used as a mouse pad, the position of the wrist is higher than the surface on which the mouse is placed, reducing the strain on the wrist when using the mouse.

[0070] In addition, although this specification and drawings disclose specific examples of the technology included in the scope of the claims, the technology described in the claims is not limited to these specific examples, but includes various modifications and variations of the specific examples, as well as parts of the specific examples taken alone.
