Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a flexible bath lid material, and particularly to a flexible bath lid material that can be folded.

(Prior Art) Conventional bath lids, which form the background of this invention, are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-49056 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 52-6666) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-5619.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The bath lid disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 50-49056 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-6666) is entirely made of polypropylene foam sheet, so it is difficult to use wooden materials. It does not have the woody texture that bath lids made of wood have.

On the other hand, the bath lid disclosed in JP-A No. 56-5619 has a plurality of ribs made of a wood material attached to the surface of the sheet, so it has a wood texture, but one main surface of the sheet Since ribs are attached only to the chisel, it does not have a woody texture when turned over. Furthermore, this bath lid can seal the bath tub, but the ribs are spaced apart, and only the sheet is present between the ribs, so the lid can be used to seal the inside of the bath tub. The heat is transferred to the outside and easily escapes, causing the inside of the bathtub to cool down quickly.

Therefore, the main purpose of this invention was to create a wood that retains a woody texture even when turned inside out, and has good heat retention.
An object of the present invention is to provide a flexible bath cover material.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention consists of a strong yet highly flexible sheet and a first groove that is laminated and adhered to one main surface of the sheet and extends from one end of the sheet to the other end. Therefore, the first board of the wood material divided into a plurality of first pieces is laminated and bonded to the other main surface of the sheet, and the first
This flexible bath cover material includes a second board made of a wood material that is divided into a plurality of second pieces by a second groove formed corresponding to the groove of the bath cover.

(Function) The whole can be bent at the first and second groove parts.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, since wooden material plates are laminated and bonded to both main surfaces of the sheet, the sheet has a woody texture even when turned over. Moreover, since the wooden material plate is present on the entire main surface of the sheet, heat retention is improved.

The above-mentioned objects, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 1 and 2 each show an embodiment of this invention, with FIG. 1 being a sectional view of a portion thereof, and FIG. 2 being a partially cutaway perspective view thereof. This flexible bath lid material 1 includes a strong and highly flexible sheet 2 made of cloth, nonwoven fabric, etc., and one main surface and the other main surface of this sheet 2 are made of, for example, cedar,
A first board 3 and a second board 3 made of wood such as Japanese cypress or parallel plywood are laminated and bonded, respectively.

Furthermore, the first plate material 3 and the second plate material 3 are provided with
For example, a plurality of first grooves 4 and second grooves 4 each having a V-shaped cross section are provided in parallel at equal intervals in the fiber direction of the plate material 3. These grooves 4 are formed to such an extent that they reach the sheet 2 but do not damage it, and the groove bottoms 5 of the grooves 4 are formed so that the sheet 2 is not exposed to the outside. That is, by the first groove 4 and the second groove 4,
The first plate material 4 and the second plate material 4 are
It is divided into a piece member and a plurality of second piece members, respectively. Therefore, this flexible bath lid material 1
The first and second grooves are connected only by the sheet 2, and as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is possible.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate folding of the whole into three, two groups of left and right grooves 4a, 4a are provided, as shown in FIGS.
. . . are formed so that the distance between adjacent grooves 4a is narrower than the distance between grooves 4b and 4b in other parts. Furthermore, the groove 4a is formed so that the angle of its valley is, for example, 60°, and the groove 4a in other parts
b is formed so that the angle of the valley is, for example, 30°,
The groove 4a portion is formed to be bent at a larger angle than the groove 4b portion.

Note that the shapes of the first and second grooves 4 should take into consideration the aesthetic sense given to the person viewing the grooves, and should also consider closing the grooves when bending and bending the flexible bath lid material. , for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 5, it may be changed into various shapes.

Furthermore, the number and position of the first and second grooves, and the spacing between the grooves may also be varied, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 16, for example. In addition, in the figure, 4', 4a', 4b', 4c, 4'' are grooves opened in the first and second plate members.

In addition, FIGS. 6 and 7 each show a flexible bath lid material that can be folded alternately, and FIGS. 11 and 12~ respectively show grooves in the longitudinal direction. 4c is formed,
A flexible bath cover material that can be folded in both the width direction and the length direction is shown. In addition, in FIGS. 13 and 16, two grooves 4'' are formed in parallel, and the angle θ formed by the valley of the grooves 4'' is 90 degrees or more. A flexible bath cover material that can be folded alternately at the 4'' portion is shown.

Further, the plate material is not limited to the above example, and wood materials such as laminated wood can be used. However, it is necessary to make the wood grain appear beautifully in the groove area, and since warping and twisting, which are unique defects of wood, occur, it is better to remove these defects. . For example, in the case of ordinary plywood in which the fiber directions of adjacent veneers are perpendicular to each other, if grooves are formed, the fiber directions will appear in different directions, which tends to impair the aesthetic appearance. On the other hand, parallel plywood is convenient because the fibers of the laminated and bonded veneers are in the same direction, so the grooves are beautiful, and the defects peculiar to natural wood are eliminated.

However, as shown in FIG.
A first plate material 3a and a second plate material 3 are provided on both main surfaces of the
b may be attached so that their fiber directions are perpendicular to each other, or as shown in FIG. It is constructed by laminating and pasting on one main surface of 2″,
The second plate material 3b' may be attached to the other surface of the sheet 2'' of the plate material 3a' so as to be perpendicular to the fiber direction of the veneer on the sheet 2'' side. Incidentally, first and second grooves 4'' are formed in these plates 3a, 3b and 3a', 3b', respectively, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 16.

In each of the above-mentioned examples, after the first and second plate materials were laminated and bonded to both main surfaces of the sheet 2, the first and second grooves were formed in the first and second plate materials, respectively. , the first and second grooves are
It may also be formed by arranging a plurality of plate materials, for example trapezoidal in cross section, and laminating and adhering them to both main surfaces of the sheet.

As mentioned above, the flexible bath lid material according to this invention can be easily bent and bent at its groove portion, and can be folded into a small and compact size when not needed or when stored. Moreover, with this flexible bath lid material, wooden material plates are laminated and bonded on both main surfaces of the sheet, so even if it is turned over, it retains the wood texture, and the sheet material is present on the entire main surface of the sheet. Therefore, its heat retention properties are good.

In addition, in this flexible bath lid material, the first and second plate materials are laminated and bonded on both main surfaces of the sheet, and then the first and second grooves are formed in the first and second plate materials, respectively. For example, it is not necessary to individually bond a plurality of plate materials each having a trapezoidal cross section to the sheet, and therefore manufacturing is easy. Furthermore, from an aesthetic point of view, for example, V-shaped grooves are formed, which accentuate and give a rich three-dimensional effect.Furthermore, the wood grain etc. are beautifully expressed in the grooves, which is excellent in terms of design and manufacturing. Since wood materials such as wood boards and parallel plywood are used, which are easy to process as board materials, manufacturing is easy and there are fewer manufacturing errors.In addition, if thinned wood is used, the product cost is low and it can be produced in large quantities. Moreover, it will also contribute to the effective use of thinned wood, etc.
