Far infrared ray diffusing mat

A far infrared ray diffusing mat having sequential layers of a first cushion plate with a predetermined thickness for protecting things placed above; a heat reflecting plate and a water vein blocking plate on the first cushion plate; a heating wire of many carbon fibers arranged in a zig-zag shape on the second cushion plate; an insulation coating plate on the heating wire; a plurality of crossed insertion parts sewn with double layers of textile materials at a predetermined lengthwise distance on the insulation coating plate; a far infrared ray diffusing pad positioned on the crossed insertion parts filled with mineral particles; and a third cushion plate on the far infrared ray diffusing pad, all of those layers being sequentially placed between upper and lower sheets, thereby blocking water vein and electronic waves harmful for health, generating out far infrared ray, dissolving toxic gas and forming negative ion, as the heat passes through mineral particles during heating, effective for sickness and fatigue release.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the Invention 
The present invention relates to a mat, and more particularly to a far 
infrared ray diffusing mat which has sequential layers of a water vein 
blocking plate, an electronic wave blocking plate and a mineral particle 
plate on top of a conventional structure of the mat with a heating wire, 
thereby effectively helping a user to sleep soundly, treating illness and 
overcoming fatigue. 
2. Description of the Prior Art 
Due to the concentration of population in cities and restrictions in 
residential area, office-com-hotels and apartments have become more 
popular than private houses. Most office-com-hotels and apartments have 
been built with a centrally controlled and simultaneous (for all rooms) 
heating system for maximum reduction in cost. It is necessary for 
families, especially with children or old people, to keep a separate 
heater for the times when heating is not provided. 
The conventional mat has an internal heating wire which heats when an 
electric switch signals heating. However, there is a problem in the 
conventional mat in that the heating wire is made of nicrome which 
generates electronic waves thereby causing negative influence on health 
and discomfort in sleep. Therefore, the mat has been used as a temporary 
alternative only when the centrally controlled heating is not provided. 
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
The present invention is presented to solve the aforementioned problems and 
it is an object of the present invention to provide a far infrared ray 
diffusing mat having sequential layers of a water vein blocking plate, an 
electronic wave blocking plate and a far infrared ray diffusing plate 
beneficial for sleep, treatment of sickness and release of fatigue. 
In order to achieve the above mentioned object, the present invention 
includes: 
a first cushion plate with a predetermined thickness for protecting things 
placed above; 
a heat reflecting plate and a water vein blocking metal plate on the first 
cushion plate; 
a second cushion plate on the heat reflecting plate; 
a heating wire of many carbon fibers arranged in a zig-zag shape on the 
second cushion plate; 
an insulation coating plate on the heating wire; 
a far infrared ray diffusing pad disposed on the insulation coating plate, 
the pad having a plurality of crossed insertion parts formed by sewing 
double layers of textile materials in vertical and horizontal directions 
at a predetermined distance and filled with mineral particles therein; and 
a third cushion plate on the far infrared ray diffusing pad, all of those 
layers being sequentially placed between upper and lower sheets. 
It is another object of the present invention to make the heat reflecting 
plate and the water vein blocking plate out of aluminum in a singular 
layer. 
It is a still another object of the present invention to fill the crossed 
insertion parts of the far infrared ray diffusing pad with finely ground 
mica.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with 
accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective sectional view for 
illustrating important parts in accordance with the present invention; 
FIG. 2 is a separate perspective view of FIG. 1; and FIG. 3 is a sectional 
view in accordance with the present invention. 
The far infrared ray diffusing mat 10 of the present invention has upper 
and lower sheets 14 and 12 sewn to an external frame of the mat. Between 
the two sheets are sequential layers of the first, second and third 
cushion plates 16, 18 and 20, the heat reflecting plate 22 and the water 
vein blocking metal plate 24, the heating wire 26, the insulation coating 
plate 28 and the far infrared ray diffusing pad 30. 
The first, second and third cushion plates 16, 18 and 20 are made of wide 
textile material with a predetermined thickness. Good candidates for the 
cushion plates are a variety of textile materials with good resilience 
such as cotton fibers, sponge or other foamy materials. The cushion plates 
should have an impact absorbing effect to safely protect the matters 
filled in the mat. 
In other words, the first cushion plate 16, the heat reflecting plate 22 
and the water vein blocking plate 24 are placed on the lower sheet 12 in a 
sequence. The heat reflecting plate 22 is commonly made of thinly 
manufactured aluminum plate for reflecting upward without loss the heat 
generated at the heating wire. Below the heat reflecting plate 22, the 
water vein blocking metal plate 24 is included to effectively restrict 
little vibrations generated by the water vein, underground water flow, 
thereby preventing harmful influence upon a human body. Though the water 
vein blocking plate has been commonly made of pure copper, aluminium can 
also be used for the same purpose in consideration of its scientifically 
recognized effectiveness. 
In the present invention an identical material is used for making the heat 
reflecting plate 22 and the water vein blocking metal plate 24, so as to 
improve flexibility and production of the mat and to make both plates into 
a single layer with a predetermined thickness. 
When the water vein blocking metal plate 24 and the heat reflecting plate 
22 are made into two separate layers, the manufacturing cost will be 
higher than for a single layer but more advantageous in the effectiveness 
of reflecting heat because of air contained between the two plates 24 and 
22, and in portability and storage because of improved flexibility. 
The second cushion plate 18 is positioned on the heat reflecting plate 22. 
The heating wire 26 is arranged on the second cushion plate 18 in a 
zig-zag shape for generating and transmitting heat when a switch (not 
shown) is turned on/off. 
The heating wire 26 is made of a plurality of carbon fibers 32 wrapped with 
an insulation material and used for generating and transmitting heat and 
the switch is turned on/off. The carbon fibers have advantageous 
properties such as high corrosion-resistance, low heat expansion, 
excellent heat conductivity and superior heat resistance, to thereby 
effectively block electronic waves leading to beneficial uses for health 
maintenance and sickness treatment. 
On the heating wire 26 is the thin and flexible insulation coating plate 
28. The far infrared ray diffusing pad 30 is mounted on the insulation 
coating pad 28 where the double layers of textile material 34 and 36 are 
sewn in vertical and horizontal directions on the same plane at a 
predetermined distance to form crossed insertion parts 40 filled with 
finely ground mineral particles. 
At this time, finely ground mica is suitable for the mineral particles 38 
because of heat retention and noise blocking effects. The finely ground 
mica is composed of mainly minerals like quartz and black and white mica 
with a small amount of feldspar, tourmaline, zircon, garnet, apatite and 
with a pretty large quantity of germanium, a non-transparent mineral. 
It is desirable to keep the size of finely ground mica at about 8-30 mm. If 
the particle size is under 8 mm, its heat reflecting and diffusing effect 
is reduced. If the particle size is over 30 m, its heat retention is 
negatively affected due to excessive spaces. Yellow soil can also be 
substituted for the mineral particles 38. 
The reasons for forming the crossed insertion parts 40 in horizontal and 
vertical directions on the far infrared ray diffusing pad 30 are that the 
mat 10 in its open state can be conveniently folded along the sewn line 
and that the mineral particles are restricted in the crossed insertion 
parts 40 without being pushed or collected at one side of the mat in spite 
of the user's body movements like sitting or lying. 
Furthermore, the heating wire 26 is arranged in the zig-zag shape between 
two crossed insertion parts 40 to evenly transmit heat when the switch is 
on. The third cushion plate 20 of a textile material is mounted on the far 
infrared ray diffusing pad 30 to effectively absorb any impact and to 
improve resistance to any shock. 
In order to use the far infrared ray diffusing mat 10, the user spreads the 
mat 10 on the floor and turns on the switch (not shown). The heating wire 
26 generates and transmits heat in accordance with the switch signal. The 
heat is being generated and transmitted upward while electronic waves are 
blocked due to the unique property of the carbon fibers 32. At the same 
time, the heat transmitted downward is also reflected upward by the heat 
reflecting plate 22. Then, the heat passes through the mineral particles 
38 filled at a predetermined distance in the far infrared ray diffusing 
pad 30, thereby expanding to all directions and radiating out the far 
infrared ray. 
In addition, the water vein flowing under ground, partly recognized harmful 
for health in modern science, is blocked by the water vein blocking plate 
24 in the mat 10, so that the user will not be influenced by it at all. 
Therefore, there is an advantage of the present invention in that the far 
infrared ray diffusing mat has sequential layers of a heat reflecting 
plate, a water vein blocking plate, a heating wire, a far infrared ray 
diffusing pad and cushion plates therebetween, thereby blocking water vein 
and electronic waves harmful for health, generating out far infrared ray, 
as the heat passes through mineral particles during heating, (effective 
for sickness and fatigue release.) 
There is another advantage of the present invention in that a plurality of 
crossed insertion parts are sewn in horizontal or vertical direction with 
far infrared ray diffusing pads filled with mineral particles, thereby 
conveniently opening and folding along the sewn line and effectively 
preventing the mineral particles from being collected at one side of the 
mat.
