Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rug for evacuees. [Background technology]

[0002] In the event of a disaster such as an earthquake or typhoon, residents will evacuate to a shelter. Each local government has secured several locations to serve as shelters in preparation for disasters. In most cases, these shelters are public gymnasiums, meaning gymnasiums at elementary, junior high, high schools, and universities, as well as gymnasiums attached to public sports facilities. Of course, halls at community centers and other facilities are also sometimes used as shelters.

[0003] The floors of gymnasiums and community center halls are generally made of wood, linoleum, or stone slabs. Gymnasiums and community centers are not originally designed for people to sit or lie down directly on the floor. Therefore, when residents evacuate to gymnasiums or community centers in the event of a disaster, some kind of mat must be laid out so that they can sit or lie down comfortably. Currently, the mats used in evacuation centers range from simple materials such as plastic sheets and cardboard to more solid materials for people to rest on, such as cardboard beds and tents.

[0005] Plastic sheets and cardboard boxes are not designed for people to sit or lie down on for long periods of time, which can make people tired and, in severe cases, sick. Cardboard beds and tents may be good for evacuees to rest on, but not all evacuation centers can stock them, and people have no choice but to survive on plastic sheets and cardboard boxes for the days or weeks until the new equipment arrives. (In the worst case scenario, they may never reach the evacuation center.)

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a rug for evacuees that can be kept in sufficient stock at evacuation shelters at all times, can be easily used by anyone, and can be prepared at low cost. [Means for solving the problem]

[0020] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated and described with reference to the reference numerals attached to the various elements in the drawings. (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of a rug for evacuees according to this embodiment. The refuge mat of this embodiment is stored in a storage facility in a gymnasium or community center during normal times, and in the event of a disaster, it is quickly taken out and spread out over the entire floor, serving as both a refuge mat and a sleeping bag. 2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating the prototype of the refuge mat when it is unfolded.

[0021] In this embodiment, a 12-person mat is shown as an example, where one mat is shared by 12 people, but it is advisable to prepare various sizes such as for 2, 4, 6, and 8 people.

[0022] The evacuation mat 100 is made up of four layers. FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the evacuation mat 100. The refuge mat 100 has, in order from the top, a front sheet body 210, a front cushion sheet body 220, a back cushion sheet body 230, and a back sheet body 240.

[0023] These four sheets (front sheet body 210, front cushion sheet body 220, back cushion sheet body 230, back sheet body 240) are stacked to form a single rug 100 for evacuees, and therefore have approximately the same rectangular (oblong) shape. For convenience of explanation, in FIG. 1, one long side is referred to as one side 101 and the side opposite to the one side 101 is referred to as the other side 102. One of the short sides connecting the one side 101 and the other side 102 is defined as one edge 103 , and the side opposite to the one edge 103 is defined as the other edge 104 .

[0024] The front sheet body 210 and the back sheet body 240 are preferably fabrics woven with filaments of resin (for example, polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride). However, they may be sheets made by stretching or rolling resin instead of weaving. Alternatively, they may be colored sheets or aluminum foil.

[0025] The front cushion sheet body 220 and the back cushion sheet body 230 are, for example, sheets of foamable resin (e.g., foamed polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin). Alternatively, the cushion sheet body may be a bubble cushioning material such as so-called Buchi-Puchi (registered trademark), Air Cap (registered trademark), or air cell mat. Bubble cushioning material can be expected to have a heat insulating and heat retaining effect. The cushion sheet bodies 220 and 230 may be configured with a plurality of layers, or the cushion sheet bodies 220 and 230 may be provided with a surface material. The surface material may have one or more of the following properties: flame retardant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-static. The surface material should also be slippery. (It is desirable that the inside surface of the sleeping bag be slippery. This makes it easier to get in and out, and easier to turn over in.) The surface material may be, for example, aluminum foil, which is expected to radiate heat.

[0026] Finally, the front sheet body 210 and the back sheet body 240 are partially joined together to form a bag-like shape (divided into compartments). The surface opposite to the front surface 211 of the front sheet body 210 is located inside the bag, and is therefore referred to as the inner surface 212 of the front sheet body 210. The surface opposite to the back surface of the back sheet body 240 is located inside the bag, and is therefore referred to as the inner surface 242 of the back sheet body 240 .

[0027] The front cushion sheet body 220 is provided on the inner surface 212 of the front sheet body 210 . The front cushion sheet body 220 and the front sheet body 210 are preferably bonded together. The rear cushion sheet body 230 is provided on the inner surface 242 of the rear sheet body 240 . It is preferable that the rear cushion sheet body 230 and the rear sheet body 240 are bonded together.

[0028] The front surface of the front sheet body 210 is provided with a division line 105 and a number label 108. The division lines 105 include a central division line 106 and sub-division lines 107. The central division line 106 is provided in a direction parallel to the one side 101 and the other side 102 so as to separate the middle between the one side 101 and the other side 102. Five sub-division lines 107 are provided in a direction parallel to the one edge 103 and the other edge 104 so as to divide the space between the one edge 103 and the other edge 104 into approximately six equal parts.

[0029] The division lines 105 are preferably made of paint or tape containing a fluorescent material (fluorescent pigment) or a phosphorescent material (phosphorescent pigment) so that they are easily visible at night. (The division lines 105 may be printed or tape may be sewn on.)

[0030] In the example of Figure 1, the rug is divided into 12 sections by the division lines 105. The 12 sections are assigned section numbers from 1 to 12. Each section is then given a number label 108 so that it can be identified.

[0031] Here, since there are many refuge mats 100 to be provided at the evacuation shelter, first, each refuge mat 100 is assigned a serial number in order, such as 1, 2, 3, . . . The example in FIG. 1 is the first evacuation mat 100. When labeling each section of the first evacuation mat 100 with a section number from 1 to 12, the "mat number" and the "section number" are connected with a hyphen "-". The combination of the "mat number" and the "section number" is used as the section identification number. The section identification number uniquely identifies which section of which mat it is.

[0032] When dividing the evacuation mat 100 into sections, it is preferable that each section be large enough for one person (adult) to lie down. For example, each section is approximately 2000mm to 2400mm x 1200mm. This is in consideration of space for placing a cardboard bed (approximately 800mm) and personal belongings and supplies in this section.

[0033] Furthermore, a tatami pattern may be printed on the front surface 211 of the front sheet body 210. Furthermore, a tatami edge may be used to draw the division line 105. In this case, a narrow fabric woven as an existing tatami edge may be attached to the front surface 211 of the front sheet body 210 as the division line 105. Alternatively, a pattern well known as a tatami edge (for example, a repeating geometric pattern) may be printed at a position on the front surface 211 of the front sheet body 210 corresponding to the division line 105. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example in which tatami edge is used as the dividing line 105 or edge stopper.

[0034] It is desirable to prepare and reserve areas in advance for women, the elderly, and people with disabilities by color-coding each area, dividing the areas with different colors, or by attaching colored stickers. Even if these people arrive at the shelter late, it is desirable that areas for vulnerable people be secured in appropriate locations (near the entrance / exit of the shelter, on the wall side).

[0035] Next, the evacuation mat 100 also functions as a sleeping bag for each compartment, and this point will be explained. First, the four sheets (front sheet body 210, front cushion sheet body 220, rear cushion sheet body 230, and rear sheet body 240) are joined at one edge 103 and the other edge 104. Furthermore, the four sheets (front sheet body 210, front cushion sheet body 220, rear cushion sheet body 230, and rear sheet body 240) are joined at division lines 105 (center division line 106 and sub-division lines 107).

[0036] When joining the four sheets (front sheet body 210, front cushion sheet body 220, back cushion sheet body 230, back sheet body 240) in the front-to-back direction, they may be sewn together with thread (filament, fiber) in the front-to-back direction. Alternatively, they may be heat-sealed. Of course, the four sheets may also be joined using adhesive or adhesive tape.

[0037] In this state, each compartment becomes a sleeping bag for one person, with one side 101 or the other side 102 as the opening for entry and exit.

[0038] It is preferable that one evacuation mat 100 can be connected to an adjacent evacuation mat 100. For example, hook-and-loop fasteners may be provided on one edge 103 and the other edge 104 of the evacuation rug 100. For example, a male hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on one edge 103, and a female hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the other edge 104. When multiple evacuation rugs 100 are laid on the floor, connecting adjacent evacuation rugs 100 with hook-and-loop fasteners makes them less likely to slip off as a whole. Other methods of connection include holes and strings, holes and rings, buttons and buttonholes, hooks and clips, and if the rugs are disposable, they may be fastened with gummed tape or double-sided tape.

[0039] (How to use) In normal times, the evacuation mat 100 is stored in a warehouse in a gymnasium or community center that serves as an evacuation shelter. Because the evacuation mat 100 is a sheet, it can be folded and stacked for storage, so it does not take up much storage space. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the state in which the evacuation mat 100 is folded.

[0040] In the event of a disaster or other event, an attendant will take the evacuation rugs 100 out of the warehouse, unfold them, and lay them on the floor of the evacuation shelter. If the rug numbers of the evacuation rugs 100 are assigned in order starting from 1, it is advisable to arrange them in numerical order, such as 1, 2, 3, etc. It is also advisable to connect adjacent evacuation rugs 100 together. When an evacuee arrives at the evacuation shelter, an attendant will take note of the evacuee's name and assign a vacant section with an available section identification number as a section that the evacuee can occupy.

[0041] The official does not have to be an administrative official. Whoever arrives at the evacuation shelter can set it up. The evacuation mat 100 of this embodiment can be easily set up by anyone, as it can be simply taken out of storage, spread out, and laid out; there is no need to wait for the arrival of government officials. By spreading it out and arranging it in numerical order, anyone can quickly set up an orderly evacuation shelter. Furthermore, since the list of section numbers and names on the mats can be created later, in the worst case scenario, reception can be postponed and evacuees can simply settle down on the mats.

[0042] Evacuees can move to their own sections and sit down to relax. The evacuation mat 100 is a mat that allows evacuees to sit or lie down in each compartment. It consists of four overlapping sheets, the inner two of which are cushion sheets 220, 230, which act as a buffer to absorb the weight of evacuees and as a heat insulator to protect against low temperatures from the floor. Generally speaking, in the early stages of a disaster, there is a shortage of manpower, making it difficult to respond to emergencies. This can lead to an increase in disaster-related deaths if people become ill at evacuation centers. In this regard, the present invention can minimize the occurrence of situations that lead to disaster-related deaths, such as when people are unable to sleep due to the cold and pain caused by the cold and hard floor, which can lead to illness and the aggravation of chronic illnesses.

[0043] When an evacuee wants to lie down, they enter between the front sheet body 210 and the back sheet body 240, and each section of the evacuation rug 100 becomes a sleeping bag. Even though it is simple, the rug is divided into bags (sleeping bags), so once inside the bag, a considerable heat retention effect can be expected. Also, once inside the bag (sleeping bag), the evacuee can block the view of those around them, ensuring a great deal of privacy and allowing them to sleep in peace. In some cases, a mother and child may even be able to breastfeed inside the bag. Also, if personal belongings are stored deep inside the bag, they will not be visible from the outside and will help to prevent theft to some extent.

[0044] Furthermore, when cardboard beds or relief supplies arrive after this, it is possible to respond individually according to wishes, such as not removing the evacuation mat 100 but placing the cardboard beds or relief supplies in one's own section of the evacuation mat 100. There is also a way to stockpile cardboard beds for the number of people absolutely needed at the initial stage (such as the elderly or disabled), which will allow for even more individualized support.

[0045] The problems to be solved by the present invention and the effects of the present invention will be further explained below. (1) This invention solves a problem that has been repeated for a century every time a major disaster occurs. (2) This invention is a mat designed specifically for use from 30 minutes to three days (72 hours) after a disaster. (It can be used to create an even better environment once supplies arrive.) (3) Immediately after the disaster, create a people-friendly environment to prevent deterioration of health and reduce related deaths until relief supplies arrive. (4) Anyone can set it up before victims enter the facility, even without administrative staff or people knowledgeable about disaster prevention.

[0046] There is a blind spot that has gone unnoticed for 100 years. Even experts, scholars, and journalists gave up immediately after the disaster. Because no products existed that could solve the problem immediately after the disaster, no solution was conceived for 100 years. The preconceived notion that "bunk beds" are bad led to the idea of providing beds. However, focusing solely on providing beds will result in repeating the same old mistakes. In fact, providing beds poses numerous challenges, and it has become clear that nothing can be solved immediately after a disaster. To resolve this blind spot that has gone unnoticed for 100 years, rather than eliminating "bunk beds," we must first address the cold, hard floors where nothing is laid. We must then quickly create "places for people to stay" (zoning). Stockpiling "rugs" is considered a low priority. However, for example, in a disaster during the dead of winter, when there are not enough blankets, people freeze in the cold, are unable to sleep, and their health deteriorates, worsening their chronic illnesses. Many lives that were once saved are lost. (Data shows that most related deaths occur within one week of the disaster. There are also reports that many pre-existing conditions worsen within three days.) This means that, like water and food, "mats" are "an important issue that concerns life," and in order to protect lives that could be saved, they are an issue that must be resolved first and foremost, and stockpiling them is a high priority.

[0047] The "blind spot" is that once the "influx" of disaster victims has entered the shelter, it is too late to try to do anything later. Once disaster victims have entered, in order to do anything, they must be told to "please move away for a moment, taking their belongings." At that point, they start reserving space, making rearrangement difficult. All of the products that have been distributed so far have arrived after the disaster victims have "entered" the shelter, rather than immediately after it opens. In a situation where there is an "overflow of evacuees," it is difficult to set up items (cardboard beds, partitions, tents, tatami mats, etc.). This is because there is no space to set them up. Also, even if they are distributed only to those who request them, people are reluctant to do so, fearing that they will be taking up a large amount of space by themselves.

[0048] The current method for quickly delivering supplies is to conclude agreements with local governments and deliver them only after receiving a request. However, the local government's stockpiles are located far away. Even the in-house stockpiles do not have sufficient quantities. Setting up the stockpiles requires manpower and time, which creates problems.

[0049] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mat (evacuee mat) that can be quickly laid out before disaster victims enter a shelter. The floor (place to stay) of the shelter must be "prepared first," otherwise people will end up sleeping in a pile. According to the present invention, even if disaster victims rush into a shelter with only the clothes on their backs, it has the minimum function of "ensuring that no one dies" until relief supplies arrive. Even if it takes several days for supplies to arrive, it has the function of preventing an increase in related deaths due to illnesses that worsen during that time, such as chronic illnesses.

[0050] To overcome blind spots and protect people's lives, it is necessary to "overcome multiple challenges at the same time as laying down the materials." No matter how much the performance of a single item (such as a mat or blanket) is improved, there are some issues that cannot be resolved (such as zoning and storage locations). Therefore, the present invention provides a mat for evacuees that can be stored in sufficient quantities at evacuation shelters, can be easily used by anyone, and can be prepared at low cost.

[0051] Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, the rug 100 for evacuees is made by stacking four sheets. In a second embodiment, a two-layer mat may be formed by stacking the front sheet body 210 and the back sheet body 240, forming a bag for each compartment, and then inserting a bag 250 made of a cushion sheet into each compartment. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a separate cushion sheet bag 250 for a person to fit into may be made, and after the evacuation mat 100 is unfolded and laid on the floor, each person inserts the cushion sheet bag 250 into their compartment. This results in a four-layer evacuation mat 100 that cushions the weight of the evacuees and also serves as a sleeping bag. The cushion sheet bag 250 may be replaced as needed as a consumable item.

[0052] Alternatively, instead of the bags 250, a single cushioning sheet may be inserted into the bag for each compartment, as illustrated in Figures 8, 9, and 10. (For example, the front cushion sheet body 220 and the back cushion sheet body 230 described above may not be joined together and may be used as a single cushioning sheet.) Note that Figures 8 to 10 show a small prototype model, and the size of the actual product is, for example, about 2000 mm to 2400 mm x 1200 mm per compartment, as illustrated above.

[0053] (Third embodiment) By joining two or four layers of the evacuation mat 100 partially in the front and back directions, it is possible to create a bag (sleeping bag) for each compartment, and the entrances and exits may not only be located on the peripheral side, but may also be located on the side of the center dividing line 106, as shown in Figure 11. Furthermore, when two or four layers of the evacuation mat 100 are partially joined together in the front and back directions to form a sleeping bag for each compartment, it is advisable not to join all the way to the edge, but to leave a few centimeters from the edge unjoined so that the opening can be folded back slightly, as shown in Figure 11. This allows the entrance to be opened wide, and by folding back the edge, it is possible to expose a wider area for the face. Partitions 300 may also be erected to separate each compartment. The partitions 300 may be erected to separate each compartment individually, or if two or more compartments form one family unit, they may be used to separate each unit.

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the invention. In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which a single refuge mat 100 is divided into sections so that it can be shared by multiple people, but one mat may also be for one person. For example, a mat (bag) of about 2000 mm to 2400 mm x 1200 mm may be used as the evacuation mat 100. Even in this case, it is advisable to provide a dividing line 105 on the periphery of each mat (bag) so that it is easy to distinguish between the mats (bags) when they are connected together.

[0055] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 12, it is even better to provide a gusset at the joint between the front sheet body and the back sheet body so that when a person gets between the front sheet body and the back sheet body as a sleeping bag, the bag can easily expand in the thickness direction. In Fig. 12, gussets are provided on the two sides adjacent to the unconnected side that will become the opening, but gussets may also be provided on the side opposite the unconnected side that will become the opening.
