DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an effective microorganism group (EM fungi) for a garment material and a fibrous body used as a material for a futon or a cushion.
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fibrous body impregnated with an effective microorganism group, which prevents the propagation of various bacteria by impregnating the same, and a method for producing the fibrous body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Clothes such as clothes and futons are usually exposed to an environment where bacteria harmful to humans grow due to the sweating action of the humans in contact with them. In particular, humans are said to have a large amount of sweat during sleep, and most of this sweat is absorbed by the futon. If the futon absorbs such a large amount of perspiration, the futon itself is always placed under high humidity conditions, so that harmful germs and pests are easily propagated, which is not preferable for hygiene.

In recent years, there has been a tendency to effectively utilize photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes, filamentous fungi and the like for environmental purification. There is also an effective microorganism group (EM fungus) composed of a plurality of microorganisms that have been used to promote purification of rivers, improve soil, and prevent fermentation odor in pig houses and the like using these effective microorganism groups. Various utilization methods have been adopted, and effects exceeding expectations have been recognized.

[0004] Among microorganisms existing in nature, there are microorganisms that have not yet been discovered, but this group of effective microorganisms is a microorganism that is harmless to the human body among microorganisms existing in nature and is effective for removing harmful bacteria and the like and for purifying the environment. It is called a group of microorganisms, EM
Bacteria, EM2, EM3, EM4 or EM103 are already sold under the trade name, and some municipalities use this to treat sewage.

This group of effective microorganisms is a mixture of only microorganisms harmless to the human body among microorganisms classified into five families, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, and filamentous fungi.

[0006]

Since the futon is always exposed to the above conditions under which the harmful germs and pests can easily propagate, conventionally, the futon is dried in the sun or dried with a drier to prevent this. Although the humidity is lowered or sterilized by hot air or the like, such a processing operation is very troublesome for a futon used every day.

[0007] In addition, when futons and the like contain such harmful bacteria and pests, they become cultivation soil for harmful bacteria and pests.
The fibrous material of a fibrous body such as a futon may be decomposed, yellowed or deteriorated, which is a major factor in shortening the life of the futon or the like. As described above, some effective microorganisms decompose ammonia to render it harmless, and are said to have the effect of rendering harmful bacteria and pests harmless.

[0008] The technical problem of the present invention is to focus on the effective function of the above-mentioned effective microorganisms and to impregnate the fiber into the fiber, thereby realizing a fiber having excellent antibacterial and insect resistance. Is to do.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the effective functions of the effective microorganism group and has the following structure.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, the fibrous body is immersed in a culture solution of an effective microorganism group (EM fungi), and fermented in a hermetically treated room at 30 ° to 40 ° C. for 7 to 10 days. After that, it is further exposed to steam mixed with effective microorganisms,
Thereafter, this is a fibrous body impregnated with effective microorganisms, which is subjected to steam cleaning for 20 to 40 minutes and then dried in an atmosphere at 70 to 90 degrees. Examples of the fibrous body include bedding, clothing, and interior goods.

A second aspect of the present invention is a fibrous body impregnated with effective microorganisms, wherein the fibrous body according to the first aspect is futon cotton. As the futon cotton, cotton, wool, feather, chemical fiber, or the like is used.

The fibrous body is immersed in a culture solution of an effective microorganism group, fermented in a hermetically treated 30 ° to 40 ° hermetically sealed treatment room for 7 to 10 days, and then further fermented. A fibrous body impregnated with an effective microorganism group, which is exposed to steam mixed with an effective microorganism group, and then steam-washed for 20 to 40 minutes, and then dried in an atmosphere at 70 to 90 degrees. It is.

[0013]

The fibrous body is immersed in a culture solution of an effective microorganism group and fermented in a hermetically treated 30 ° to 40 ° C. treatment room for 7 to 10 days. Further, this is exposed to steam mixed with effective microorganisms, and then steam-washed for 20 to 40 minutes.
When the effective microorganism group is impregnated into the fibrous body by a method of drying in an atmosphere of a certain degree, the antibacterial resistance and insect repellency of the cloth around the product manufactured by the fibrous body can be improved, and the fiber By the action of the effective microorganisms impregnated in the body, it is possible to remove harmful germs and pests in the fibrous body or to realize an environment where harmful microorganisms and pests are hardly attached to the fibrous body.

By using cotton of a futon as the fibrous body, the futon can be used in a state where the effective microorganism group is impregnated, and for example, ammonia absorbed by the futon is decomposed by the effective microorganism. It can be decomposed by action to prevent an unpleasant odor emanating from ammonia, or prevent invasion of harmful germs and pests by effective microorganisms.

As described in claim 3, the effective microorganism group (EM
The fibrous body 2 is immersed in the culture solution of the fungus), stirred, fermented in the fermentation chamber 3, and then dried to obtain colonies of effective microorganisms as shown in the test results in FIG. These effective microorganisms could be effectively impregnated into the fibrous body 2.

[0016]

FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a basic production process of a fibrous body impregnated with an effective microorganism group according to the present invention. 1 is a container filled with a liquid obtained by culturing effective microorganisms, 2 is a fibrous body to be impregnated with effective microorganisms,
In this example, wool is shown. About 3 cultures of effective microorganisms
00 cc is diluted with about 5000 cc of water, and about 50 kg of wool is added to the diluted solution. Since the wool 2 is generally in a degassed state, it is better to blow air into the wool 2 to open it, and then to put it in the diluent in this opened state. By doing so,
The effective microorganisms can be impregnated into the wool fiber in a short time and reliably.

The method of impregnating the effective microorganisms is not limited to the method of immersion in the diluting solution, but the diluting solution is sprayed on the wool and then stirred in the stirring chamber 3 to impregnate the effective wools with the effective microorganisms. Needless to say, the wool may be impregnated with the effective microorganism group.

As the above-mentioned diluent, distilled water or water having fine water molecules, for example, water close to living body water, is effective because effective microorganisms can be efficiently propagated.
Incidentally, π water (trade name) is effective as the diluent. The wool impregnated with the effective microorganisms is charged into the fermentation chamber 4, where the effective microorganisms impregnated in the wool are fermented for about 7 to 10 days.

In the fermentation chamber 4, the air is shut off and a room temperature of 30 to 40 degrees is maintained, and the fermentation is performed in this atmosphere. In the fermentation chamber 4, the effective microorganism group propagates while interfering with each other, detoxifies the harmful microorganisms that existed in the wool 2 during the propagation process, and creates a state in which the harmful microorganisms are hardly propagated on the wool.

Next, wool obtained by fermenting effective microorganisms is
After being exposed to the vapor mixed with the diluent, the diluted liquid
And dry. The drying chamber 5 is kept in a temperature range of 70 to 90 degrees, and is dried in this atmosphere for 20 to 40 minutes. The wool thus dried is dried in a state of being impregnated with the effective microorganism group, and is processed into cotton to process a futon.

Thus, wool impregnated with the effective microorganism group can be obtained. By the above-mentioned method, other fibrous bodies such as cotton, feathers, chemical fibers, or fibrous bodies for clothes can be impregnated with the effective microorganism group. By the way, as a result of inspecting the wool impregnated with the effective microorganism group by the above-mentioned means, the inspection result as shown in FIG. 2 was obtained. The inspection organization and inspection method are as follows.

The sample subjected to this test was identified as the effective microorganism group described above, with 250 kg of Salvage EM1 and 250 kg of EM103.

(Representative, Governor of Okinawa Prefecture) (2) Sample 1 g of wool impregnated with effective microorganisms (3) Inspection method The sample is suspended in 9 ml of sterilized physiological saline. The suspension is diluted (10-fold dilution), the suspension is diluted to 1,000,000-fold (10 7), and the diluted solution is diluted with each selective medium of each bacterium (aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, filamentous fungi, actinomycetes). After culturing, colonies were observed.

In FIG. 2, the EM treated section is wool impregnated with the above-mentioned effective microorganism group, and the EM untreated section is ordinary wool not impregnated with the effective microorganism group. As shown in the above results, it was confirmed that the EM-treated wool had more aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and filamentous fungi than the EM-untreated section, and the EM-treated wool had much more It was confirmed that effective microorganisms exist, and in particular, a remarkable difference was confirmed between aerobic bacteria and filamentous fungi.

[0025]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the fibrous body is impregnated with the effective microorganism group, so that aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and filamentous fungi can be contained in the fibrous body. Can prevent the invasion of harmful microorganisms and the invasion of pests and the like, and can prevent the fibrous body from these, and can prevent yellowing and insect erosion due to harmful bacteria and the like.

When the effective microorganisms are impregnated into the futon cotton as described in claim 2, it is difficult for harmful bacteria and pests to enter the futon cotton. Even if an unpleasant odor such as ammonia is generated due to absorption of such a substance, the odor can be eliminated by the action of the effective microorganism group, and propagation of harmful bacteria and invasion of pests can be prevented.

As described in claim 3, the fibrous body is immersed in the culture solution of the effective microorganism group, the fibrous body is impregnated with the effective microorganism by stirring, and the fermented product is dried after fermentation. The fibrous body can be impregnated, and the effective microorganism group as shown in the test results can be surely impregnated in the fibrous body.
