Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the above-described dimension measurement takes time, and thus there is a problem that the time required for the entire tatami mat construction becomes long. The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and an object thereof is to provide a tatami mat and a tatami set that can shorten the construction time.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The first tatami mat according to the present invention includes a rectangular tatami mat floor, a tatami mat surface attached to at least the surface of the tatami mat floor, a tatami mat edge attached along at least one side of the tatami mat floor, and a compression deformable thin plate-shaped deformation member disposed between at least one of the tatami mat edge and the side surface of the tatami mat floor or between the tatami mat surface and the side surface of the tatami mat floor.

[0006] According to this configuration, a compression is provided between the tatami mat edge provided on at least one side of the tatami mat floor and the side surface of the tatami mat floor. Because it is fitted with a flexible component, you don't need to measure the dimensions of the tatami mat edge precisely in advance, but it will be roughly... If the dimensions are known, the tatami mats can be installed properly. For example, if the dimensions were known in advance Even if there is an error in the actual dimensions, this error is absorbed by the compression of the deformable member. This allows the tatami mats to be properly fitted into the tatami mat edging. Therefore, the dimensions of the tatami mat edging are Tatami mats can be installed without precise measurements beforehand, and as a result, the installation time for tatami mats can be reduced. It can be shortened. Also, the frame of the floor to which the tatami should be attached may be deformed, or the inner surface of the tatami mat edging may be affected. Even if there are protrusions, the deformable member will be compressed, so the tatami mat will not be installed correctly. It is possible.

[0007] The second tatami mat according to the present invention comprises a rectangular tatami base and a part attached to at least the surface of the tatami base. A compressible, deformable thin plate-shaped deformable member is placed between the tatami surface and the side surface of the tatami base. It is equipped with the above. With this configuration, the same effect as the first tatami mat can be obtained.

[0008] In the first tatami mat described above, the tatami border is attached to each of the two opposing long sides of the tatami base. The deformable member can be placed between the tatami mat edge and the tatami mat base. ru.

[0009] In each of the above tatami mats, the deformation member is not particularly limited, but for example, a corrugated cardboard sheet may be used. It can be formed more easily. Such corrugated cardboard sheets are inexpensive and easy to process. That's good.

[0010] The tatami set according to the present invention is laid out within a rectangular frame that constitutes the floor of a room, , comprising tatami mats as described above, each tatami mat being formed in a rectangular shape, adjacent to the frame Of the long sides of the tatami mat arranged on two sides to be formed, the deformation member is arranged on the long side facing the frame. It is arranged.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, the construction time can be shortened.

[Figure 3] It is a sectional view of the deformation member. [Figure 4] It is a diagram showing an example of a six-mat room. [Figure 5] It is a diagram showing an example of an eight-mat room. [Figure 6] It is a partial sectional view showing another example of the tatami mat according to the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, a tatami mat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tatami mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 1. It is.

[0014] <1. Structure of Tatami Mat> As shown in FIG. 1, the tatami mat 1 according to the present embodiment includes a tatami floor 11 having a rectangular shape in plan view, a tatami surface 12 attached to one surface of the tatami floor 11, and a tatami edge 13 attached along a pair of long sides 111 of the tatami floor 11. These tatami floor 11, tatami surface 12, and tatami edge 13 can be of known types. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a thin plate-shaped deformation member 14 is attached between the side surface 113 of one long side 111 of the tatami floor 11 and the tatami edge 13. 11, and a tatami edge 13 attached along a pair of long sides 111 of the tatami floor 11. It is provided. Known ones can be used. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, between the side surface 113 of one long side 111 of the tatami floor 11 and the tatami edge 13, a thin plate-shaped deformation member 14 is attached. Attached. This deformable member 14 is made of a material that can be compressed, and the tatami mat base 11 It is formed to extend along the side and across the entire length direction. The deformable member 14 is a tatami mat It has a width smaller than the thickness of the floor 11 and is covered by the tatami border 13 that extends along the side of the tatami base 11. The width is such that it can be split. The thickness of the deformable member 14 can be, for example, 1 to 5 mm. Preferably, it is 2 to 3 mm, and more preferably.

[0015] The material constituting the deformable member 14 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can be compressed. However, for example, corrugated cardboard sheets can be used. As shown in Figure 3, known corrugated cardboard The seat consists of a pair of liners 141 on the seat and positioned between these liners 141. It is equipped with a corrugated core 142. As a result, the corrugated cardboard sheet is compressed As a result of this, the core 142 is crushed, and both liners 141 come into close proximity. In other words, the deformable member 14 according to this embodiment is formed from a corrugated cardboard sheet. When a compressive force is applied, it undergoes plastic deformation so that its thickness decreases. The degree of compression is While not particularly limited, for example, by compression, the thickness of the deformed member 14 may be equal to the thickness before compression. It is preferable that it be about 1 / 10 to 3 / 4. However, from a construction standpoint, the deformation member 1 The deformation of 4 should preferably be small, and it is preferable that it be compressed by about 0 to 1 mm.

[0016] <2. Tatami Mat Manufacturing Method> Next, we will explain the manufacturing method of the tatami mat constructed as described above. First, the short side of the tatami base 11 The tatami surface 12 is sewn to 112 using a known frame stitch or the like. Next, the long side of the tatami base 11 The tatami mat surface 12 and the tatami mat border 13 are sewn to 111 using a known flat stitch or the like. Then, the deformable member 14 described above is placed on the side surface 113 of the tatami mat base 11, and this deformable member 14 The tatami edging 13 is folded along the edge of the surface of the tatami mat base 11 so as to cover it. A deformation member 14 is placed between the raised tatami border 13 and the side surface 113 of the tatami base 11. Then, after securing the corners using a known method, the folded tatami edging 13 is placed against the tatami base 11. Then, it is sewn in place using a known backstitch or similar method. In this way, the tatami mat according to this embodiment is completed. The deformable member 14 is fixed to the side surface 113 of the tatami mat base 11 with double-sided tape or the like, The deformable member 14 can also be covered by the tatami mat border 13.

[0017] <3. Tatami installation method> For example, as shown in Figure 4, in a six-tatami room, within the frame (tatami yose) 2 that makes up the floor Six tatami mats are laid out. Here, frame 2 has sides of 21 on the first side, 22 on the second side, and 23 on the third side. It is composed of the first side 21 and the third side 23 being the longer sides, and the second side 2 Sides 2 and the fourth side 24 are considered the shorter sides. Also, for the sake of explanation, the numbers of the six tatami mats are shown in the circles in Figure 4. As shown in the numbers, it is defined. And in this embodiment, adjacent first sides 2 in frame 2 Of the tatami mats facing sides 1 and 2, i.e., the long sides 111 of the first to third tatami mats, side 2 The deformation member 14 is provided on the long side 111a that is in contact with the first and second sides 22. Therefore, The other long sides 111 do not have deformation members 14, and the 4th to 6th tatami mats do not have deformation members 14. There are absolutely no such facilities.

[0018] The same applies to an eight-tatami-mat room, and as shown in Figure 5, the frame 3 that makes up the floor of the eight-tatami-mat room Our adjacent tatami mats, the first side 31 and the second side 32, and the tatami mats facing them (here, the first to third tatami mats and The deformable member 14 is attached to the 8 tatami mats. That is, of the long sides of these tatami mats, the first side 31 and A deformable member 14 is provided on the long side 111a opposite the second side 32. The multiple tatami mats that make up an eight-mat room correspond to the tatami set of the present invention.

[0019] <4. Features> As described above, according to this embodiment, on one of the long sides 111 of the tatami mat 1, the side of the tatami mat base 11 Because a compressible deformable member 14 is attached between the surface 113 and the tatami edge 13, the dimensions of the frames 2 and 3 Even without precisely measuring the dimensions beforehand, if you know the approximate dimensions, you can properly install the tatami mats. For example, even if there is a discrepancy between the dimensions known in advance and the actual dimensions, this error The deformation member 14 can absorb the force by being compressed, and the tatami mat 1 is properly fitted into the frame 2, 3. It can be fitted in. Therefore, without having to accurately measure the dimensions of frames 2 and 3 in advance, This allows for the construction of tatami mats, and as a result, the construction time for tatami mats can be shortened. The floor frames 2 and 3 to which the mounting should be attached may be deformed, or there may be protrusions on the inner surface of frames 2 and 3. Similarly, if it is being kicked, the deformation member 14 is compressed, so the tatami mat 1 cannot be properly installed. It is possible.

[0020] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 above, the long side 111 of all the tatami mats 1 that are laid out It is not necessary to attach the deformation member 14. In other words, when attaching the tatami mat 1, The dimensions of frames 2 and 3 are measured in advance, and the dimensions of tatami mat 1 are determined based on these measurements, therefore, frames 2 and 3 It is unlikely that the dimensions of the frame and the dimensions of tatami mat 1 will differ significantly. Therefore, at least frame 2 By attaching the deformation member 14 to the long side 111a of the tatami mat 1, which is located opposite two adjacent sides of 3, This allows for the absorption of small deformations such as distortions and protrusions in frames 2 and 3. See Figure 4. Now, the second side 22 of frame 2 is touching the short side 112a of the second tatami mat, but generally the short side of tatami mat 1 Since 112 is more easily deformed than the longer side 111, even if no deformation member is provided, the frame It can absorb distortions and other imperfections. This is also true in Figure 5.

[0021] Furthermore, the deformable member 14 is made of corrugated cardboard sheets, but corrugated cardboard sheets are generally Because it is inexpensive and easy to process, it can reduce the manufacturing cost of tatami mats.

[0022] <5. Variation> The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and without departing from its spirit, it may also be described in the following way. Various modifications are possible. Furthermore, the following variations can be combined as appropriate. .

[0023] In the above embodiment, a corrugated cardboard sheet is used as the deformable member 14, but it is not limited to this. No. In other words, if it is a thin sheet material that can be compressed and deformed, then it is an elastic material such as rubber. That's fine.

[0024] Furthermore, the deformation member 14 does not necessarily have to be provided over the entire length of the long side 111. It is sufficient if it is provided for approximately 2 / 3 or more of the length of the long side 111. Furthermore, the thickness of the tatami mat base 11 It may be provided throughout the entire area, or only in part. However, the tatami mat base 11 is Generally, as it goes downwards, it slopes inward, so the deformable member 14 is on the surface of the tatami mat base 11. It is preferable to provide it near the edge of the surface (the side to which the tatami mat surface 12 is attached).

[0025] Furthermore, the entire deformable member 14 does not necessarily have to be covered by the tatami mat border 13; a part of it may be covered by the tatami mat. It may be exposed from edge 13.

[0026] In the above embodiment, a deformable member 14 is provided on one of the longer sides 111 of the tatami mat 1, but both long It can also be placed on side 111. Furthermore, in the examples in Figures 4 and 5, two adjacent sides of frames 2 and 3 are shown. Although the deformation member 14 is provided only on the long side 111a facing the other side, it may also be provided on other parts. Furthermore, the deformable member 14 can also be provided on other tatami mats. This is determined appropriately depending on the condition of the frame. That's all you need to do. Furthermore, it is possible to install the tatami mats of this invention in rooms other than six-mat or eight-mat rooms. It's not even necessary.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a deformation member 14 is placed between the side surface 113 of the tatami mat base 11 and the tatami edge 13. Although it is placed in this position, it is also possible to place the deformable member 4 between the side surface 113 of the tatami base 11 and the tatami surface 12. It is possible. In other words, tatami mats without borders, or tatami mats with borders, but with borders provided. The aforementioned deformation member 14 can be applied to tatami mats that also have areas where the member is not present. For example, see Figure 6. (a) is an example of a tatami mat without a border, such as a Ryukyu tatami mat, and the tatami surface 12 is a deformable member Extend it to the side 113 of the tatami mat base 11 so that it covers 14, and then sew it to the tatami mat base 11. Furthermore, Figure 6(b) shows a modified member 14 attached to a frame, which is a so-called frame without the usual tatami mat border. This is an example of installation, where the tatami mat surface 12 covers the deformable member 14 and passes over the side surface 113 of the tatami mat base 11. Above, it is extended down to the bottom surface 114 of the tatami mat base 11 and sewn in place.

[0028] Furthermore, tatami mats do not have to be rectangular; they can also be square or polygonal in shape, and the tatami border 13 is also the longest side 1 It can be installed not only on the 11 but also on the shorter side 112, and in the area where the tatami border 13 is provided, A deformable member 14 can be provided as appropriate.
