Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a safe mite attracting sheet that attracts and captures mites and prevents their reproduction from the root, without using any pyrethroid-based insecticidal ingredients. [Background technology]

[0002] Mites are not insects but are related to spiders and scorpions. There are currently approximately 55,000 species of mites living worldwide, with approximately 2,000 species living in Japan. While most mites do not bite humans, 80% of the 2,000 species belong to the Porphyridae family. Porphyridae mites tend to prefer humid places where human dander, dead skin, and food debris easily accumulate. For this reason, they live in futons, pillows, carpets, tatami mats, sofas, cushions, stuffed toys, etc. Mite attractant sheets are used to capture these mites.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2024-067698 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In conventional technologies, mites cannot be captured unless they come into contact with the mite attractant sheet, making it impossible to efficiently capture mites present in a home, and therefore requiring the installation of multiple mite attractant sheets in a home.

[0006] The object of this invention is to efficiently capture mites without placing a large number of mite attracting sheets in a residence. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above objectives, a mite attractant sheet containing components including anti-IgE antibodies, short-chain fatty acids, and sphingolipids is provided, with the aim of suppressing the proliferation of mites and suppressing allergic reaction, and is characterized in that the mite attractant sheet is provided with an attractant for attracting mites. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an attractant to efficiently capture mites without having to install many of them in a home, etc. Furthermore, because the attractant is used, the odor does not evaporate and the mite capture effect does not decrease, making it possible to use the mite attractant sheet for a long period of time. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view showing a dust mite attracting sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the mite attractant sheet shown in FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the mite attractant sheet shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The mite attracting sheet 1 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. For convenience, parts that perform the same functions will be given the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted.

[0011] In this embodiment, the mite attracting sheet 1 of the present invention described above is attached to futon fabric, futon covers, futon filling, blankets, towel blankets, sleepwear, sheets, pillows, pillowcases, towels, handkerchiefs, clothing outer fabric, clothing lining, clothing filling, slippers, carpets, mats, curtains, chair upholstery, wall cloth, floor covering, etc.

[0012] The structure of the mite attractant sheet 1 will now be described. The mite attractant sheet 1 is produced by sewing a sheet 2 to a predetermined size. The sheet is sewn to form a square shape, with each side measuring 90 mm. The length of each side may be changed depending on the installation location, etc. When installing in a narrow space, the size may be appropriately reduced, and when installing in a wide space, the size may be increased.

[0013] Sheet 2 is produced in roll form, and is then cut to a specified size across the width of the roll paper. Since the width of the roll is 1800 mm, it is produced at 90 mm across and 180 mm long in order to minimize material loss due to cutting. In other words, by setting this length, it is possible to produce mite attractant sheet 1 efficiently without loss. Furthermore, by making it this size, it is possible to install mite attractant sheet 1 even in a small installation space.

[0014] The sheet 2 is made of fiber structures such as fibers, threads, filaments, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, paper-like materials, sheet-like materials, laminates, and cotton-like materials (including spherical and lumpy materials), particles, beads, films, coatings, and resin molded products such as injection-molded products. The sheet 2 may also be made of a combination of these materials.

[0015] The fiber structure or resin molded body in the sheet 2 is made of cotton, linen, silk, wool, nylon, rayon, polyester, acrylic fiber, acrylate fiber, etc. The resin constituting the resin molded body is made of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyurethane, acrylic resin, ABS resin, etc.

[0016] Sheet 2 contains the following ingredients to suppress mite proliferation and allergic reactions. Specifically, the ingredients include anti-IgE antibody (omalizumab), short-chain fatty acids (butyric acid, propionic acid, etc.), and sphingolipids. Anti-IgE antibody is a humanized clonal antibody produced through genetic engineering. By binding to IgE in the blood, it prevents IgE from binding to the high-affinity IgE receptor on the surface of inflammatory cells (mast cells, basophils, etc.), thereby suppressing IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Short-chain fatty acids are metabolic products produced by intestinal bacteria and have immunomodulatory properties. They also lower the pH, thereby suppressing the growth of organisms, thereby suppressing the growth of mold and bacteria that serve as food for mites. Butyric acid and propionic acid inhibit mast cell degranulation and reduce allergic reactions caused by anti-IgE antibodies.

[0017] The size of the sheet 2 will be described. The sheet 2 is cut to a width of 90 mm and a width of 180 mm, and then folded horizontally to create a square shape. The three sides are then sewn with a sewing thread 3 to create the mite attractant sheet 1. A storage space in which the attractant 4 can be placed is formed within the sheet 2 during sewing. This structure may prevent the attractant 4 from falling out of the storage space. The sheet 2 has a three-dimensional structure to ensure storage space. This three-dimensional structure is preferably thick enough to prevent discomfort to people due to unevenness when the mite attractant sheet 1 is placed on a futon or carpet, and this structure allows mites to easily enter. Therefore, the three-dimensional structure is preferably formed with a thickness of 10 mm to 30 mm. A thickness of less than 10 mm may result in a small storage space volume, resulting in a reduced capture rate. A thickness of more than 30 mm may cause discomfort when the sheet is placed on a futon, mattress, or other surface due to unevenness. Furthermore, by adopting a three-dimensional structure, it is possible to retain humidity and efficiently capture mites.

[0018] The attractant 4 will now be described. The attractant 4 is placed inside the sheet 2 through the open portion of the sheet 2. The attractant 4 is in the form of a tablet. By making it a tablet, it is easier to place the attractant 4 through the opening of the sheet 2. Note that the attractant is not limited to a tablet, and powder or the like may also be used.

[0019] The attractant 4 is produced as a tablet containing food-derived ingredients such as dried yeast (brewer's yeast) as its main ingredient. This tablet is used for the purposes of improving digestive function and providing nutrition. Its main ingredient is brewer's yeast, and it also contains B vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and dietary fiber. In particular, the tablet contains nitrogen compounds (amino acids), sugars, and components that give off the characteristic fermented odor of yeast, which enhances its attractiveness to mites. Mites tend to be strongly attracted to the odors of decomposition and fermentation of organic matter, and are particularly likely to gather around high-protein food residues and fermentation products, making it a highly attractive tablet.

[0020] Adhesive sections 5 are provided on both the front and back sides of the sheet 2 so that it can be attached to a futon, pillow, carpet, tatami mat, sofa, cushion, stuffed toy, or other suitable location. is provided to allow the mite attracting sheet 1 to be placed in any desired location, and can be securely fixed by attaching double-sided tape or the like to the adhesive part 5.

[0021] The adhesive part 5 can be attached to both the front and back surfaces of the sheet 2, which allows the mite attractant sheet 1 to be fixed in the desired position more reliably than if it were attached to only one surface. Of course, it is also possible to attach it to only one surface.

[0022] The procedure for placing the mite attractant sheet 1 in a predetermined position will be described below.

[0023] Select a location for the futon, pillow, carpet, tatami, sofa, cushion, stuffed animal, etc. This location should preferably be larger than the size of the mite attractant sheet 1. Once the location is decided, the mite attractant sheet 1 can be installed in the desired location by attaching double-sided tape (not shown) to the adhesive portion 5 of the mite attractant sheet 1.

[0024] Even after attaching the mite attractant sheet 1 to the installation location, fine adjustments can be made by peeling off the double-sided tape and attaching it again to another installation location.

[0025] (Effects of this Example) In this embodiment, the purpose is to provide an attractant to efficiently capture mites without having to install a large number of units in a home, etc. Furthermore, because an attractant is used, the odor does not evaporate and the mite capture effect does not decrease, making it possible to use the mite attractant sheet for a long period of time.

[0026] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit and technical concept of the present invention.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above description, when the external dimensions or sizes are described as "same," "equal," or "different," these descriptions are not used in their strict sense. In other words, "same," "equal," and "different" mean "substantially the same," "substantially equal," or "substantially different," allowing for design and manufacturing tolerances and errors.

[0028] In addition to the above, the methods according to the above embodiments and their modifications may be appropriately combined and used. Although not specifically illustrated, the present invention may be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
