Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a seat cover. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, automobile drivers, particularly truck drivers who drive long distances, can accumulate fatigue from long hours of driving and develop stiffness from maintaining a seated position, and it is important for them to recover from this fatigue and relieve stiffness.

[0003] One of the methods that is considered to be effective in recovering from fatigue and relieving stiffness is bathing in hot springs such as radon hot springs and thoron hot springs. Radon hot springs are hot springs that shield the beta and gamma rays that are harmful to the human body from the radiation emitted by radium, extracting only the alpha rays that are effective for treatment, and send the radon produced from this in gas form into the bathtub. Thoron hot springs are hot springs where groundwater passes through ores that emit thoron, the energy released by the element thorium, and is heated by magma underground, causing the groundwater containing thoron to spring up above ground. Note that the amount of radiation emitted from radium and thorium elements is very small, and has almost no adverse effects on the human body, but it is thought to have the effect of activating tissues and cells and to have a health-promoting effect.

[0004] However, in order to use radon hot springs or thoron hot springs, one must go to the respective facilities, making them difficult to use on a daily basis.

[0005] In response to this, a bath mat has been known that is made by incorporating monazite into a raw material that is mainly made of a cushioning material having gas permeability and elasticity and forming it into a sheet shape (see Patent Document 1). It is believed that by laying such a conventional bath mat in the bathtub and taking a bath, it is possible to obtain the same effects (health promotion effects) as bathing in a thoron hot spring on a daily basis.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3176844 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, since a person still needs to take a bath when using a conventional bath mat, there was a demand for a product that would provide health benefits without time restrictions.In addition, it is unavoidable that fatigue and stiffness accumulate when driving, so there was a demand for a product that could reduce fatigue accumulation and prevent stiffness on a daily basis.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a seat cover that can provide health promotion effects without time constraints, and can reduce the accumulation of fatigue and prevent stiffness on a daily basis. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The first seat cover of the present invention is a seat cover for an automobile that is removably attached to an automobile seat having a backrest portion and a sitting portion, the seat cover comprising: a backrest covering portion having a first outer fabric and a first inner fabric, and covering the front surface of the backrest portion; a seat covering portion connected to the backrest covering portion, having a second outer fabric and a second inner fabric, and covering at least the upper surface of the sitting portion; and a seat cover formed into a sheet shape by incorporating monazite into a raw material mainly made of a cushioning material, the seat cover being formed into a sheet shape by inserting a ... and a mat portion that is disposed between the second front fabric and the second back fabric in the seat covering portion, the mat portion having a plurality of small holes at predetermined intervals, and fastening strings being provided at predetermined positions along the outer edge of the position of the mat portion on the inside of the backrest covering portion and the inside of the seat covering portion, respectively, and the mat portion is fixed at a predetermined position within the backrest covering portion and a predetermined position within the seat covering portion by passing the fastening strings through the small holes and fastening them.

[0010] The second seat cover of the present invention is a seat cover for an automobile that can be removably attached to an automobile seat having a backrest portion and a sitting portion, and that can accommodate a mat inside, the mat being made of a raw material mainly made of a cushioning material that contains monazite and is formed into a sheet shape with a plurality of small holes at predetermined intervals, the seat cover comprising: a backrest covering portion that has a first outer fabric and a first inner fabric and covers the front surface of the backrest portion; and a seat covering portion that is connected to the backrest covering portion, has a second outer fabric and a second inner fabric, and covers at least the upper surface of the sitting portion. The mat can be placed between the first outer fabric and the first inner fabric in the backrest covering portion, and between the second outer fabric and the second inner fabric in the seat covering portion, and fastening strings are provided on the inside of the backrest covering portion and the inside of the seat covering portion at predetermined positions along the outer edge of the position where the mat is to be placed, and the mat is fixed to a predetermined position in the backrest covering portion and a predetermined position in the seat covering portion by passing the fastening strings through the small holes and fastening them. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the first and second seat covers of the present invention, they are provided with (contain) a mat portion (mat) formed into a sheet-like shape by incorporating monazite into raw materials mainly made of cushioning material, so that even without actually taking a bath, by simply attaching the seat cover to the car seat, it is possible to obtain health promotion effects without time constraints, and furthermore, it becomes possible to reduce the accumulation of fatigue and prevent stiffness on a daily basis.

[0012] Incidentally, even if one attempts to fix the "mat portion made of raw materials mainly composed of cushioning material molded into a sheet shape" within the backrest covering portion and the seat covering portion, the mat portion may shift or slip down due to its own weight or the driver's movements. However, according to the first and second seat covers of the present invention, the mat portion is fixed at a designated position within the backrest covering portion and a designated position within the seat covering portion by passing a fastening string through the small holes and fastening it, thereby preventing the mat portion from shifting or slipping down.

[0013] The mat part can also be used as a bath mat. In this case, the small holes of the mat part can be used as hot water flow holes. That is, when used as a bath mat, the small holes of the mat part can be used as hot water flow holes, and when used as a seat cover, they can be used as fixing holes for passing fastening strings through.

The first front side fabric 10a and the first back side fabric 10b are detachably attached by fasteners (not shown) provided along the outer periphery of each. The first front side fabric 10a and the first back side fabric 10b have cushioning properties and breathability, and prevent the mat part 30 from directly hitting the back of the driver even when the driver leans against the backrest part 101.

[0020] The seat covering part 20 is connected to the backrest covering part 10, has a second front side fabric 20a and a second back side fabric 20b, and is configured to cover at least the upper surface of the seating part 102. The second front side fabric 20a and the second back side fabric 20b are detachably provided by fasteners (not shown) provided along the outer periphery of each. The second front side fabric 20a and the second back side fabric 20b have cushioning properties and breathability, and prevent the mat part 30 from directly hitting the driver's buttocks or legs even when the driver sits on the seating part 102. The seat covering part 20 may or may not be provided with a seating part front surface covering part 21 that covers the front surface of the seating part 102 on the side opposite to the side to which the backrest covering part 10 is connected.

[0021] The mat part 30 is formed into a substantially rectangular sheet shape by adding monazite to a raw material mainly made of a cushioning material, and has gas permeability and elasticity. Synthetic rubber such as silicone rubber or ethylene propylene rubber can be used as the cushioning material. Monazite contains a small amount of thorium, uranium, etc. The mat part 30 may be one that is already provided in the seat cover, or a mat (for example, a bath mat) obtained separately may be used.

[0022] As shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(c), the front surface 30a of the mat portion 30 has linear recesses 32 arranged in a lattice pattern when viewed overall, and substantially square-shaped protrusions 31 arranged side by side. A small hole 33 is formed in the center of the square-shaped protrusion 31. Thus, the mat portion 30 has a plurality of small holes 33 at predetermined intervals. The small holes 33 are formed evenly throughout the mat portion 30, but it is sufficient that they are provided at least at predetermined intervals near the outer edge. The small holes 33 penetrate from the front surface 30a to the back surface 30b.

[0023] 2(b) and 2(c), the back surface 30b of the mat part 30 has linear protrusions 31 arranged in a lattice pattern as viewed overall, and substantially diamond-shaped recesses 32 arranged side by side. A small hole 33 is formed in the center of the diamond shape, penetrating from the front surface 30a.

[0024] The attachment string 40 is provided on the side of the backrest covering part 10 opposite to the side to which the seat covering part 20 is connected. Although an attachment string is used in the embodiment, it may be attached to the car seat 100 by any other suitable means such as a buckle or a plastic fastener.

[0025] Fastening strings are provided at predetermined positions along the outer edge of the position where the mat 30 is arranged inside the backrest covering part 10 and the seat covering part 20, respectively. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, fastening strings 12, 22 (fastening string 22 is not shown) are provided on the inside of the backrest covering part 10 and the seat covering part 20 of the first back side fabric 10b and the second back side fabric 20b along the outer edge of the position where the mat 30 is arranged, three on each short side and one near the center in the longitudinal direction. The fastening strings 12, 22 may be provided directly on the first back side fabric 10b and the second back side fabric 20b, or a base cloth with fastening strings 12, 22 may be placed between the first back side fabric 10b and the second back side fabric 20b and the mat 30. The base cloth may be fixed, or may not be fixed as long as it does not roll or shift during use.

[0026] The fastening string 12 has an end fixed to the first back fabric 10b. When attaching the mat 30, the fastening string 12 is passed through the nearest small hole 33 and wrapped around the small hole 33 and the outer edge of the mat 30, and fastened with the fastener 13. For this reason, the fastening string 12 is made of a material such as cloth or nylon that can be deformed to pass through the small hole 33 and can be fastened. Although a fastening metal fitting is used as the fastener 13, a buckle or a plastic fastener may also be used. The mat 30 is fixed to a predetermined position within the backrest covering part 10 by fastening each point of the mat 30 with the fastening string 12.

[0027] Although not shown, the mat part 30 is fixed at a predetermined position in the seat covering part 20 by passing a fastening string through a small hole 33 in the seat covering part 20 as well. Also, in Fig. 3, all the fastening devices 13 are used for fastening, but it is also possible to fasten only some of them. For example, in the backrest covering part 10, it is only necessary that the mat part 30 does not slide downward, so it is also possible to fasten only the upper part with the fastening devices 13.

[0028] 2. Effects of the seat cover 1 according to the embodiment The seat cover 1 according to the embodiment is provided with (contains) a mat portion (mat) formed into a sheet-like shape by incorporating monazite into raw materials mainly made of cushioning material. Therefore, by simply attaching it to the car seat, health promotion effects can be obtained without time constraints, even without actually taking a bath, and it becomes possible to reduce the accumulation of fatigue and prevent stiffness on a daily basis.

[0029] Incidentally, even if one attempts to fix the mat portion 30, which is made by molding raw materials mainly consisting of cushioning material into a sheet shape, within the backrest covering portion 10 and the seat covering portion 20, the mat portion 30 may become misaligned or slip down due to its own weight or the driver's movements. However, according to the seat cover 1 of the embodiment, the mat portion 30 is fixed at a predetermined position within the backrest covering portion 10 and the seat covering portion 20 by passing the fastening string 12 through the small holes 33 and fastening it, so that it is possible to prevent the mat portion 30 from becoming misaligned or slipping down.

[0030] The mat part 30 can also be used as a bath mat. In this case, the small holes 33 of the mat part 30 can be used as holes through which hot water can flow. That is, the small holes 33 of the mat part 30 can be used as holes through which hot water can flow when used as a bath mat, and as fixing holes through which the fastening strings 12 can pass when used as a seat cover.
