[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] As shown in Figure 1, the mattress with handles 1 comprises a mattress body 10, an annular belt 20, and a bag-shaped cover 30. The mattress with handles 1 is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be used for transfer, transport, or rescue. The mattress with handles 1 is applied in medical, rescue, or care settings for transporting patients, injured persons, or users.

[0010] The mattress body 10 has dimensions that allow a person to lie down on it. The mattress body 10 is not particularly limited, but for example, it has a length of 1800 mm, a width of 600 mm, and a height of 50 mm. The mattress body 10 includes cushioning material. The cushioning material may include, for example, polyurethane foam, chip urethane, or a combination thereof. The polyurethane foam has, for example, a hardness of 200 N or more and an air permeability of 120 L / min or more.

[0011] The bag-shaped cover 30 accommodates the mattress body 10. The bag-shaped cover 30 has a top surface 30a, a bottom surface 30b, a front surface 30c, a back surface 30d, a left side surface 30e, and a right side surface 30f. The top surface 30a is the surface that receives a person. A person can lie on the top surface 30a along the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped cover 30. The bottom surface 30b is located on the opposite side of the top surface 30a. The front surface 30c is connected between the top surface 30a and the bottom surface 30b. The back surface 30d is located on the opposite side of the front surface 30c and is connected between the top surface 30a and the bottom surface 30b. The left side surface 30e is connected between the top surface 30a and the bottom surface 30b, and also between the front surface 30c and the back surface 30d. The right side surface 30f is connected between the top surface 30a and the bottom surface 30b, and also between the front surface 30c and the rear surface 30d, and is located on the opposite side of the left side surface 30e.

[0012] The bag-shaped cover 30 may include any material suitable as a mattress cover. The material of the bag-shaped cover 30 may include, for example, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and other resins. Furthermore, the material of the bag-shaped cover 30 may include, for example, cotton and other natural materials.

[0013] The bag-shaped cover 30 may have an opening to allow the mattress body 10 to be inserted and removed. The bag-shaped cover 30 may further have a zipper at the opening to allow for easy opening and closing. For example, the opening and zipper may be provided on the left side 30e of the bag-shaped cover 30.

[0014] In this embodiment, the annular belt 20 includes three annular belts 20a, 20b, and 20c arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped cover 30. However, the number of annular belts 20 is not limited to this and may be 2 or less, or 4 or more.

[0015] The annular belt 20 includes a first handle portion 21, a second handle portion 22, and an intermediate portion 23 connecting the first handle portion 21 and the second handle portion 22. The intermediate portion 23 has two strip portions 23a and 23b. The first handle portion 21 protrudes from one side of the bag-shaped cover to form a first handle. The second handle portion 22 protrudes from the other side of the bag-shaped cover to form a second handle. In this embodiment, the first handle portion 21 and the second handle portion 22 each protrude in the short direction of the bag-shaped cover 30. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and the first handle portion 21 and the second handle portion 22 may also protrude in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped cover 30.

[0016] The annular belt 20 is attached to the bag-shaped cover 30. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the band portions 23a and 23b are attached to the bag-shaped cover 30 at the attachment region 27. The annular belt 20 is attached to the bag-shaped cover 30 by, for example, sewing, rivets, eyelets, adhesive, or other attachment methods.

[0017] The annular belt 20 may include any material suitable for a handle. The material of the annular belt 20 may include, for example, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and other resins. Furthermore, the material of the annular belt 20 may include, for example, cotton and other natural materials.

[0018] The annular belt 20 can have dimensions suitable for use as a handle. For example, the annular belt 20 may have a thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm and a width of 50 mm.

[0019] The belt portions 23a and 23b of the annular belt 20 are arranged parallel or non-parallel on the bottom surface 30b of the bag-shaped cover 30. In the present embodiment, the belt portions 23a and 23b are arranged parallel. The interval 23c between the belt portions 23a and 23b is, for example, 50 mm to 200 mm, preferably 70 mm to 150 mm, and more preferably 90 mm to 120 mm. The interval 23c between the belt portions 23a and 23b affects the size of the rings of the first handle portion 21 and the second handle portion 22. The range of 70 mm to 150 mm is exactly the size of a human fist, and can improve the ease of gripping of the first handle portion 21 and the second handle portion 22. In the present embodiment, the interval 23c is 120 mm.

[0020] As described above, in the present embodiment, the first handle and the second handle are formed by the annular belt 20. During the conveyance of a person, the weight of the person is supported by the annular belt 20. The coupling region 27 between the annular belt 20 and the bag-shaped cover 30 receives a compressive load rather than a tensile load. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the breakage of the coupling portion due to a tensile load being applied to the coupling portion between the handle and the mattress. Further, even if the coupling region 27 breaks during the conveyance of a person, since the annular belt 20 supports the person, it is possible to prevent the person from falling from the mattress body 10.

[0021] The annular belt 20 may be a seamless annular belt, or may be an annular belt formed by connecting the end portions on both sides of a belt-shaped belt. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the annular belt 20 has a connecting portion 26 in which the end portions 24 and 25 of the belt-shaped belt are connected to each other. The connection between the end portions 24 and 25 is by, for example, sewing, riveting, eyeleting, an adhesive, or other connecting methods.

[0022] The connecting portion 26 may be located anywhere in the first handle portion 21, the second handle portion 22, or the intermediate portion 23. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 26 is located in the intermediate portion 23. Because the connecting portion 26 is located in the intermediate portion 23, even if the connection between the ends 24 and 25 breaks, it will not cause the first handle and the second handle to break.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, the connecting portion 26 may overlap the joining region 27. The connection of the ends 24 and 25 of the connecting portion 26 may be separate from or common to the connection of the annular belt 20 and the bag-shaped cover 30 of the joining region 27. For example, the ends 24 and 25 of the connecting portion 26 may be sewn together, and separately, the annular belt 20 and the bag-shaped cover 30 of the joining region 27 may be sewn together. In this example, the connecting portion 26 is double-sewn, which improves the strength of the connecting portion 26. Alternatively, the ends 24 and 25 of the connecting portion 26 may be sewn together by sewing the annular belt 20 and the bag-shaped cover 30 in the joining region 27. In this example, the sewing of the connecting portion 26 and the sewing of the joining region 27 are performed in one process, which improves the productivity of the mattress with handles.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the bag-shaped cover 30 has an outer circumferential surface 31 and an inner circumferential surface 32. The annular belt 20 may be coupled to the outer circumferential surface 31 of the bag-shaped cover 30. In this embodiment, the annular belt 20 is coupled to the outer circumferential surface 31 of the bag-shaped cover 30. Since the annular belt 20 supports both the bottom surface 30b and the top surface 30a of the bag-shaped cover 30, the strength of the mattress with handle 1 can be increased. However, the annular belt 20 may also be passed through the bag-shaped cover 30 and coupled to the inner circumferential surface 32 of the bag-shaped cover 30. Since the middle portion 23 of the annular belt 20 is hidden inside the bag-shaped cover 30, the aesthetic design of the mattress with handle 1 can be improved.

Figure 4(c) is a front view of the mattress with a handle according to the embodiment. Figure 4(d) is a left side view of the mattress with a handle according to the embodiment. In Figure 4, the rear view is the same as the front view and is therefore omitted. Similarly, the right side view is the same as the left side view and is therefore omitted.
