Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a health mat that can be used not only as bedding but also to effectively warp and stretch the body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 2. Description of the Related Art It has been proposed that it is effective to bend and stretch the body in order to improve health, and many instruments and devices for this purpose have recently been proposed. However, since these devices are specialized for warping and straightening, they are not only not suitable for easy use at home, but also require a dedicated space.

The present invention solves these conventional problems and can be used not only as a regular bedding but also to effectively warp and stretch the body, and can be stored compactly, making it easy to use at home. The aim is to provide healthy pine trees suitable for various uses.

Means for Solving the Problems The object of the present invention is to provide a mat portion which has a rectangular shape in plan view when unfolded and is foldable in the longitudinal direction from approximately the center, a columnar pillow extending in the width direction of the mat portion;
a pair of arms whose base ends are rotatably connected to both sides of the mat part in a plane along the longitudinal direction of the mat part and whose distal ends support both ends of the columnar pillow; When the mat section is in the folded state, the pillow is located at a position facing the end surface of the folded section, and when the mat section is folded and unfolded, the pillow is positioned near the end of the mat opposite to the folded section. This is achieved by a health mat characterized in that the position and length of the center of rotation are determined so that the position can be adjusted.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The health mat shown in FIG. 1 includes a mat part 1 that is rectangular in plan view, a cylindrical pillow 2, and a pair of arms 3 that connect the pillow to the mat part 1. It is made of a mat part 1 and a normal mat material having appropriate cushioning properties, and is foldable as shown by arrow A in the longitudinal direction from approximately the center. The collapsible structure may be any of a variety of conventional folding mat structures, such as a spongy mat material covered at the fold with a continuous fabric cover. In this example, a bent portion 10 is formed on the upper surface of the central portion of the mat portion 1. Cylindrical pillow 2
has a length corresponding to the width of the mat portion 1, and its cushioning properties may be the same as the mat portion 1, but as will be described later, it is harder than the mat portion 1 in order to support the human body. desirable. The arm 3 has its base end rotatably supported by shafts 30 on both sides of the mat section 1 within a plane along the longitudinal direction of the mat section 1, and a shaft 31 at its distal end that allows the pillow 2 to be rotated around the shaft 31. It is rotatably supported.

A pair of arms 3 are attached to one half part 1 of the mat section 1.
1, and its mounting position and length are determined as follows. First, in the unfolded state shown in FIG.
It can be located near the end opposite to 0. Next, even when the mat part 1 is in the folded state as shown in FIG. . This folding is done by lifting the pillow 2 slightly and folding the end of the half part 12 into the arrow B shown in FIG.
This can be done by inserting it under the pillow 2 as shown in FIG. At least one half 12 can be inserted under the pillow 2 in this way.
2 is assumed to have flexibility. When the arm 3 is further rotated from this folded state toward the folded part 10, the pillow 2 reaches a position facing the end faces of the two half parts 11 and 12 on the folded part 10 side, as shown in FIG. be made into Also, as can be understood from these relationships, if the arm 3 is rotated toward the bent portion 10 in the expanded state of the mat, the second
As shown in the figure, the pillow 2 is located approximately at the center of the mat portion 1.

Function: Therefore, when the mat section 1 is in the unfolded state and the pillow 2 is positioned near the end of the mat section 1, it can be used as normal bedding as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, if the diameter of the pillow 2 is made large as in this example, it can be used as a backrest, and the entire mat can be used as a seat. Next, when the arm 3 is rotated from this unfolded state and the pillow 2 is positioned at the center of the mat 1, by lying on the pillow 2, the body can be warped and stretched as shown in Fig. 5. can be carried out effectively. For this purpose, the height of the pillow 2 is set so that the pillow 2 will not be buried in the mat portion 1 due to the weight of the body, but if it is too high, the posture will become unstable and it will be difficult to use. Therefore, it is usually desirable that the height after being loaded by the body is approximately 10 cm to 45 cm from the surface of the mat portion 1. Next, the mat part 1 is folded, and the pillow 2 is folded into the folded part 1.
When placed near the end of the mat on the opposite side from 0, the mat can be used as a chair, and by leaning back with the pillow 2 supporting the waist or back, only in this case, as shown in Figure 6, the mat can be used as a chair. You can effectively bend and stretch your body. At this time, the pillow 2 is firmly held by the arm 3. Next, in this folded state, when the arm 3 is rotated toward the folded part 10, the pillow 2 reaches a position facing the folded part side end surfaces of the mat parts 11 and 12, and the whole becomes extremely compact, making it easy to store or transport. It becomes convenient. (See Figure 4).

From this state, fold the matte part 12 into the part 10.
When the mat portion 12 is raised up toward the pillow 2 side, the lower end of the mat portion 12 is supported by the pillow 2 and is maintained in the upright state as shown in FIG. 7, so that the mat can be used as a seat. Furthermore, when the seated person leans back in the direction of arrow C from the illustrated state, the seated person can lean back while having his or her back supported based on the elasticity of the mat portion 12 and the pillow 2. In this case, if the degree of backward inclination is increased, the seater can take an arched posture in which the lower back or waist is lifted based on the pillow 2, and the effect of stretching the body can be obtained.

In the above example, the pillow 2 has a cylindrical shape, but in addition to this, a polygonal prism such as a triangular prism or a quadrangular prism, or one having an elliptical cross section may be adopted as appropriate. Matsuto part 1
The bent portion may be provided on the lower surface of the mat instead of on the upper surface of the mat, and in this case, one half of the mat is folded downward from the unfolded state. Furthermore, a large number of microprotrusions can be distributed around the pillow 2 to provide an acupressure-like effect when supporting the body.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a healthy pine tree with the following effects. That is, in the unfolded state of the mat, it can be used as bedclothes or a seat, and
By rotating the arm and changing the position of the pillow, you can effectively bend and stretch your body. Even when the mat section is folded, it can be used as a chair, and the pillow can be used as support by the arm. It is possible to effectively warp and stretch the body, and therefore, the same mat can be used for daily use and for health promotion, and in the form as required. Furthermore, by placing the pillow in a position facing the end face of the folded mat portion in the folded state, the whole can be made compact, which is convenient for storage and transportation. As a result, the health pine according to the present invention is particularly suitable for easy use at home.
