DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To improve health, functional beds use the Korean under-floor heating system manufactured by various materials such as yellow earth and oriental herbs with natural flooring on top. Also, its composition includes the frame where the above Korean under-floor heating system and the natural flooring are placed.

Such functional beds use herbal medicines such as oriental herbal medicines, but the existing technology attaches the natural flooring to the top of the Korean under-floor heating system that has been manufactured with herbal medicines, hindering the ventilation of the Korean under-floor heating system, possibly gathering mold or causing corrosion.

Also, mat is installed on the upper part of the bed, but the mat is the same width as the bed, making the moving very inconvenient. Especially when delivering, its massive volume causes problems such as increase in shipping fees or difficulties in re-installations.

This present invention, in order to prevent the Korean under-floor heating system from corroding, the natural flooring that has been hindering ventilation is no longer used, instead providing a structure that secures the cover by the securing wood against the frame, allowing easier installation and disassembly of the cover.

As mentioned above, simply securing the edges of the cover using securing woods allows convenient change of the cover, and since only the cover is installed on top of the Korean under-floor heating system, this prevents molds and corrosion.

A functional bed according to this present invention is composed of a frame (1) that is installed along the outer edge, a floor (2) that is installed in parallel to the inner space of the above frame (1), with characteristics such as forming a groove (3) inside the above frame (1); inserting the inserting woods (4) into the mentioned groove (3); while placing the cover (5) on top of the mentioned floor (2) and the frame (1), the edge of the cover (5) is inserted into the groove (3) by the inserting woods (4), allowing secure placement.

The basic composition of the bed is depicted as a principle perspective view in FIG. 1, detailed perspective view is depicted in FIG. 2, and detailed sectional diagrams are depicted in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

The floor (2) of the mentioned composition can be formed in multiple stratums as depicted in FIG. 2, or it can only be formed by the Korean under-floor heating system (12) at the very top. This can change by various methods in constructing the bed, and since what kind of layers form the floor (2) is not the main point of this present invention, detailed explanation is omitted.

The layered composition of the floor (2) as depicted in FIG. 2 includes plywood (6) at the very bottom, a water vein prevention (7), a heat insulator (8), a heating element (9), a Korean under-floor heating system (12), respectively. Of course, the mentioned order could change.

Since the present invention is a functional bed, it is special in having a Korean under-floor heating system (12) at the very top of the floor (2) composition. Also, the placement of the cover (5) directly on top of the Korean under-floor heating system (12) without any other structure such as natural flooring is another of its characteristic. Thus, the existing technology placed natural flooring or vinyl on top of the layered structure and possibly caused molds or corrosion of the Korean under-floor heating system. This is because the various natural herbal medicines inside the Korean under-floor heating system (12) include fixed humidity.

Although the flooring (2) of this invention can only be composed of the Korean under-floor heating system (12) or have other layered structure with the Korean under-floor heating system (12) at the very top. Therefore, the Korean under-floor heating system (12) mentioned in the following mean both cases.

The biggest characteristic of this invention is the structure of securing the cover (5) by inserting woods (4). In this structure, the replacement of the cover (5) is easy and the disassembly of the bed is easy as well, making the shipping process more convenient. This function becomes even easier if the Korean under-floor heating system (12) is not the same size as the bed but is composed of two or more boards and is installed.

The mentioned inserting woods (4) are formed as a material and multiple ventilating holes (10) are formed at the upper lid. Also, functional materials (11) such as oriental herbal medicines or hardwood charcoals are filled inside. Thus, functional materials (11) can vary as much as oriental herbal medicines, aromatic plants, aromatic materials or far infrared ray radiating materials that can cure the user's illness or prevent certain illness, or it could be charcoals that can control humidity, eliminate odor or radiate far infrared ray. Like this, since materials that fill inside the inserting woods (4) are dependent on the user's state of illness or taste, this present invention does not specify any.

Also, there are multiple ventilating holes (10) formed at the top of the inserting woods (4), allowing smooth operation of the functional materials (11) that are stored inside. Thus, if they are aromatic materials (10), they are emitted through the ventilating holes (10), and if charcoal, its ability to control humidity and eliminate odor is improved.

The above inserting woods (4) are covered with inserting woods cover (13), thus not exposing the ventilating holes (10) to outside, and the inserting woods cover (13) can be made of same material as the bed cover (5) or use other materials for better aesthetic taste. Thus the upper part of the bed can have identical shapes by the inserting woods cover (13), or have distinct shape by placing the inserting woods cover (13) made of other material than the cover (5) to the inserting woods (4) that are inserted along the frame (1).

Also, another ability of the inserting woods (4) is the ability to ease the replacement of the cover (5) and securing the cover (5). The groove (3) of the frame (1) and the inserting woods (4) needs to be shrink fit, enough to press and secure the cover (5).

Therefore the edge of the cover (5) is secured to the groove (3) by the inserting woods (4), and when the groove (3) is taken off, the cover (5) can easily be removed, allowing effortless replacement of the cover (5) that can get dirty easily.

The floor (2) that forms the top of the bed is composed of yellow earth balls or Korean under-floor heating system (12), since along with the cover (5), it contacts the user directly, it is very important part of the functional bed.

First of all, the Korean under-floor heating system (12) is the board-shaped floor that is formed by the yellow earth cloth from the top and the bottom of the mixed rock attaching to the binder. The above rock is formed by 55˜64% Volcanic Scoria, 35˜44% yellow earth, 0.5˜1.5% oriental herb powder, and 0.1˜0.2% sulfur. Instead of the above Volcanic Scoria, a shell can be used in the same amount, or other charcoal, germanium, tourmaline can be added as well.

The above volcanic scoria is a weak alkaline that forms minute bubbles with excellent insulation effect and titanium dioxide exists as a natural state, semi-permanently having antibacterial effect, sterilizing effect and deodorant effect, and emitting plenty of far infrared rays.

Also, as widely known, harmful microorganisms live inside the above yellow earth in multiple porous layers, providing excellent detoxification effect and multiple kinds of enzymes are included, emitting plenty of far infrared rays.

The above oriental herbal medicine is a powdered product of angelica root, creeping lady sorrel, motherwort, after drying them, and other than basic medicines listed above, various herbal medicines depending on the user's condition can be used as well, and the specification of detailed content ratio is irrelevant in this invention since the content rate depends on the user's illness or taste.

The mentioned Korean under-floor heating system (12) is manufacture by heat-pressing the yellow cloth that is laminated to the top and the bottom of the mixed rock at 100˜150° C. in pressed mold.

The above mixed stone stirs the volcanic scoria, yellow stone, oriental herbal medicine power and sulfur according to the mentioned recipe in 1:1 ratio with the water and binder. The above binder is widely used as soluble acrylic binder.

Also, the above binder can be made as natural materials to be used. Meaning, making and using a paste out of starch or rice powder, mixing 60˜80% rice powders or starch with 20˜40% oriental herbal medicine power, and adding water to create sufficient viscosity.

Since the oriental herbal medicine is chosen to the taste or the illness of the user, its varieties and specification of ratio is not needed. Also the amount of needed water is same as the amount needed from normal experiences, thus limiting the amount of water is unnecessary as well.

After molding the above mixed ingredients to the shape of the board, yellow cloth is attached to the top and the bottom to be heat-pressed. To stick yellow cloths to the top and the bottom of the mixed stone, it is desirable to laminate it after depositing it to the mentioned mixture of water and binder.

Also, after heat-pressing the laminated structure in order of yellow cloth, mixed stone and yellow cloth, oil can be applied to the press mold in order to strip the product off of the press mold more easily.

Therefore the yellow earth and the volcanic scoria of the mixed stone is solidified by the evaporation of the water and hardening of the binder through the heat-pressing of the press mold, and the yellow cloth is stuck to the mixed stone in unison by the hardening of the binder.

The Korean under-floor heating system (12) formed like the above can be used as the flooring of the bed or yellow earth balls can be used instead of the Korean under-floor heating system (12).

When the Korean under-floor heating system (12) is formed by the yellow earth balls, then the yellow earth mat is formed by containing large numbers of yellow earth balls.

Yellow earth, used as the original ingredient of the yellow balls, is a yellow colored clay distributed across Korea and only the pure yellow earth that has not been directly affected by the air pollution and rain falls and which have been extracted from the 2 m or more underground are selected to be used. The above yellow earth is put through the 100 mesh net and the yellow earth with regular density is thrown into the storing tank. On the bottom of the storing tank, multiple anion water filter that retrieves electromagnets and heavy metals are installed, and when certain amounts of the underground water and yellow earth are thrown into the tank, are deposited and fused for more than 24 hours, in which the motored blade rotates to separate the heavy metal by the anion water filter and electromagnets.

Filtered pure yellow earth if put through the 1000 mesh net, stored in second storing tank, deposited for certain time and loess water is retrieved, earning yellow earth with 35˜45% hygroscopic moisture. The above yellow earth, oriental herbal medicine, sulfur are mixed to manufacture yellow earth balls with diameters less than 20 mm. Of course, the minimum diameter of the yellow earth ball is bigger than 0.

Since the manufacturing method of yellow balls are not characteristics of this invention and widely known, the explanation on the ratio of mixing yellow earth, oriental herbal medicine with sulfur is omitted.

Of course, to improve the function of the functional bed, the above oriental herbal medicine uses powdered angelica root, creeping lady sorrel, motherwort after drying them and powdering them to the size less than 0.2 mm, and besides above basic medicines, other various herbal medicines can be used depending on the user's illness and their mixture rate can also differ depending on the user's illness and taste.

The reason why the yellow earth balls are manufactured by above method of refining the yellow earth by electromagnets and anion water filter is to reduce iron ingredients inside the yellow earth to prevent the creation of the oxidizing material, which are harmful to human bodies, and to increase medical effects of the oriental herbal medicines, which are mixed together to be created into yellow earth balls.

The above yellow earth balls are dried at the drying room to contain less than 10% hygroscopic moisture and coating materials that are extracted from the natural fruits are deposited and dried at the drying room again.
