Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a simple bed with a pillow function. [Background technology]

[0002] A cot is a simple bed primarily used outdoors. Its structure consists of a seat stretched inside an outer frame, which is supported by legs. Cots are large and strong enough for an adult to lie down on, and many models can be folded into a shape that is convenient for transport, making them a popular staple for outdoor activities. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3221643 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Although cots are simple beds, there are many requests for pillows, among the issues that need to be resolved to make them even slightly more comfortable to sleep on. As a solution to this, there are cases where the purchaser uses their own pillow, and cases where the manufacturer installs a simple pillow in the cot.

[0005] However, it is a hassle to bring a pillow with you every time you use a cot, and if you simply place the pillow on the seat, it may shift position or fall to the ground when you turn over. On the other hand, these problems can be solved by implementing a simple pillow, but simple pillows are often relatively small and hard, making them less comfortable to sleep on than regular pillows.

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cot that can be easily equipped with a pillow function. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises the following means.

[0008] A cot comprising a seat that supports the body, a frame that supports the seat, and a stand that supports the frame, and a storage body at the end of the frame or the seat in the longitudinal direction, the storage body being displaceable above or below the seat, and when displaced downward it functions as a small item holder hanging down approximately vertically from the end of the seat, and when displaced upward it functions as a pillow cover placed approximately horizontally on the top surface of the end of the seat.

[0009] The container may be a bag-shaped body that is substantially rectangular in plan view, and one of its four sides may be joined to the frame or the sheet.

[0010] The container may have a pair of sides curved inwardly to one side joined to the frame or the sheet.

[0011] The container may be made of mesh fabric. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the cot of this invention, you can add pillow functionality to the cot by simply using a towel or piece of clothing you have on hand as stuffing, without having to bring a pillow with you. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] Diagram showing the appearance of the cot [Figure 2] A diagram showing the appearance of the storage unit [Figure 2] Diagram showing the cot in use DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The structure and method of use of the cot of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows the exterior of the cot, Figure 2 shows the exterior of the storage body, and Figure 3 shows the cot in use.

[0015] [Cot structure] The cot 10 is composed of a frame 12 formed by combining multiple pipes, a seat 14 joined to the inside of the frame 12, a stand 16 that supports the frame 12, and a storage body 18 attached to the frame.

[0016] The storage body 18 is attached to an end of the frame 12 in the longitudinal direction of the cot 10. The attachment method can be adhesive bonding, fusion bonding, sewing, or joining with hook-and-loop fasteners. The storage body 18 is a rectangular bag-like body, and one long side is joined to the frame 12. There are no particular limitations on the fabric of the storage body 18, but mesh fabric is used here.

[0017] The storage body 18 has an opening 20. The opening 20 can be opened and closed with a strip fastener 22. In addition to the strip fastener 20, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a button may also be used for opening and closing. The storage body 18 can be displaced in the vertical direction using the joint with the frame 12 as a fulcrum. When displaced upward, it is placed approximately horizontally on the top surface of the end of the seat 14, and when displaced downward, it is hung approximately vertically from the end of the seat 14.

[0018] [How to use the cot] The cot 10 can be used as a chair or a simple bed. If the storage body 18 is left hanging down, the entire surface of the seat 14 can be used as a seating surface or a bed surface. If drinks, smartphones, and other small items are stored in the storage body 18, they can be easily taken out when needed.

[0019] If you store the cushion in the storage case 18 and place it on the seat 14, it can be used as a simple pillow fixed exactly at the head position. Although it can be used as a simple pillow just by placing the cushion directly on the seat, depending on the material, there may not be enough friction between the cushion and the seat, and the cushion may shift position or fall to the ground when you turn over in your sleep.

[0020] In this regard, if the storage body 18 is used as a pillowcase and stuffed with a cushion or other filling to make a simple pillow, the storage body 18 is fixed to the frame 12, so it is less likely to shift position, and even if it falls off the seat, it will not fall to the ground.

[0021] Although a cushion such as urethane is suitable as a filling for a simple pillow, there is a problem that the pillow becomes bulky when not in use. In that case, clothing or towels can be used as filling.

[0022] If the storage body 18 is made of mesh fabric, the contents can be easily identified when it is used as a small item holder, and the breathability is improved when it is used as a pillow cover, allowing for a comfortable and restful sleep. [Explanation of symbols]
