Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a floor pad having an anti-slip effect. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a floor pad with an anti-slip effect, there is a known pad that includes a top fabric, a back fabric, and batting sandwiched between the top fabric and the back fabric, wherein polyester resins are arranged in a scattered manner on the contact surface of the back fabric with a floor futon or a bed mat, and the ratio of the area occupied by the polyester resins per unit area of the contact surface is set to a predetermined ratio (Patent Document 1).

[0003] To manufacture such a floor pad, a screen printing mold is placed on the back side of the floor pad obtained by a conventional manufacturing method, polyester resin is poured into the mold for application, and the assembly is dried to fix the polyester resin, using a screen printing technique. The top fabric, batting, and back fabric are stacked, and the floor pad is manufactured through a quilting process or the like (the above steps are conventional manufacturing processes), and an anti-slip agent must be further fixed using a screen printing technique. As such, since the screen printing step is required in addition to the quilting step, the manufacturing process becomes complicated, leading to increased costs.

[0004] To solve such a problem, Patent Document 2 discloses a floor pad that can be manufactured without complicating the manufacturing process and has an anti-slip effect, which is formed by sequentially stacking a top fabric, a batting material, a lining, and an anti-slip fabric and performing quilting to integrate them, wherein the anti-slip fabric is provided over the entire surface of the lining, and the anti-slip fabric is a mesh-like friction sheet made of vinyl chloride resin. According to this design, the manufacturing process only involves quilting, thus avoiding complexity. Furthermore, since the anti-slip fabric is provided across the entire backing, the entire mattress pad has an anti-slip effect. If the anti-slip fabric is only provided in a part of the pad, there are limitations on the quilting patterns that can be created due to manufacturing process issues, but by providing it across the entire pad, there are no restrictions on quilting, allowing for free patterns and designs. In addition, if the anti-slip fabric is made of a mesh-like friction sheet made of polyvinyl chloride resin, it can be obtained cheaply, and the cost will not be too high. However, using a mesh-like friction sheet made of polyvinyl chloride resin as the anti-slip fabric has the disadvantage of increasing the weight. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3207473 Gazette [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3224739 Gazette [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mattress pad that is lightweight, has an anti-slip effect across its entire surface, and also has a pleasant feel on the underside. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the above problems, the mattress pad according to claim 1 is characterized in that the outer fabric, the padding material, and the non-slip fabric integrated with the lining are sequentially layered and quilted together, the non-slip fabric is provided over the entire surface of the lining, and fine hooks are formed on the napped surface of the napped fabric. The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the height of the napped surface of the non-slip fabric after the fibers have been hooked is 0.5 to 5.0 mm. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the invention of claim 1, the outer fabric, the padding material, and the anti-slip fabric integrated with the lining are sequentially layered and quilted to form a single unit, the anti-slip fabric is provided over the entire surface of the lining, and fine hooks are formed on the napped surface of the napped fabric, and since heavy polyvinyl chloride resin anti-slip fabric is not used, a lightweight mattress pad can be made. Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 2, since the height of the napped surface of the non-slip fabric after hooking is set to 0.5 to 5.0 mm, the back side can be made soft and comfortable to the touch, resulting in a mattress pad. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This is a bottom view of the fitted sheet according to the example. [Figure 2] This is an exploded perspective view from below showing how the mattress pad materials are stacked according to the example. [Figure 3] This is a magnified view showing the napped surface on the reverse side. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The mattress pad 1 according to the present invention is made by sequentially layering the outer fabric 2, the padding material 3, and the anti-slip fabric 4 integrated with the lining (Figure 2), and then quilting them together to form a single unit. Here, the anti-slip fabric 4 is provided across the entire surface of the lining.

[0011] For the outer fabric 2, polyester or cotton are common, but the material is not limited to these. Fabrics with various patterns and designs created by printing, fabrics with heat retention properties, and fabrics with cooling properties are used as appropriate depending on the application. For the padding material 3, polyester or cotton is used, and materials with appropriate properties depending on the application, such as those that enhance cushioning or heat retention, are used.

[0012] The anti-slip fabric 4 is provided across the entire backing, so the entire mattress pad 1 has an anti-slip effect. Therefore, no matter where you sit or lie on the mattress pad 1, it will not shift. The anti-slip fabric 4 has a hook structure in which fine hooks 5 are formed on the napped surface of the napped fabric. More specifically, the anti-slip fabric 4 is a fabric manufactured using yarn material made of polyester filaments with a yarn count of 50D to 200D and a filament count of 96F or less, through operations such as yarn steaming, shaping, weaving, brushing, and perm bending. Its surface has an irregular fine hook structure that is difficult to distinguish at the level of the human eye and touch, and is soft, comfortable against the skin, and does not irritate the skin.

[0013] The manufacturing process for mattress pad 1 involves layering the outer fabric 2, the padding material 3, and the anti-slip fabric 4 integrated with the lining, and then applying quilting 6. Since this only involves layering each fabric and applying quilting, there is no need for any extra steps, and it can be manufactured using a general quilting machine in the same way as conventional quilting processes. Therefore, there is no need for special processes such as screen printing on the lining, and the manufacturing process does not increase costs. Furthermore, since conventional quilting machines can be used as is, and the non-slip fabric 4 is applied to the entire surface, it is possible to create quilting 6 with any pattern or design without any restrictions on the quilting 6.

[0014] Furthermore, the edges of the mattress pad 1 are covered and sewn with edge fabric 7. The mattress pad 1 according to this invention does not slip because the anti-slip fabric 4 is provided on the entire surface of the backing. For this reason, it is not necessary to attach strips of elastic material (rubber tape) diagonally across two adjacent sides to the four corners of the anti-slip fabric (bottom surface) of the mattress pad, as is commonly done in the past. In this way, there is no need to provide strips, so the appearance is neat and looks good.

[0015] According to the mattress pad of the present invention, since a vinyl chloride resin fabric is not used as the non-slip fabric, the mattress pad can be made lightweight. In addition, since the pile height of the raised surface of the non-slip fabric after the fibers are hooked is set to 0.5 to 5.0 mm, the mattress pad has a soft back side and good touch feel.

[0016] The mattress pad 1 is usually used by being laid on a bed, bedding, mattress, rug, carpet, mat or the like. These surfaces always have irregularities when viewed in an enlarged manner, and with such irregularities, the fine hooks 5 formed on the raised surface of the non-slip fabric are caught on the irregular surfaces, so that no slipping occurs. For this reason, a non-slip effect is exhibited and the pad is less likely to shift. However, in the case of a smooth surface without irregularities such as a flooring surface, the fine hooks 5 cannot be caught, so that slipping occurs. As such, it is not suitable for smooth surfaces without irregularities.

[0017] In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the hook surfaces are shown in a sparse state for easy understanding of the image, but are actually in a very dense state, and the depth and orientation of the hooks 5 are also random. [Description of Reference Signs]
