Description

Opfindelsen angår en måtte som underlag for personer ved stående arbejde og omfattende et bærelag med et mønster af opragende partier på oversiden samt et mønster på undersiden af nedragende partier, hvormed måtten hviler 5 på et underlag, og hvor de to mønstre sidder forskudt for hinanden.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a mat for persons in standing work and comprising a support layer having a pattern of projecting portions on the upper side as well as a pattern on the underside of projecting portions, by which the mat rests on a substrate and the two patterns are staggered to each other.

Elastisk eftergivende måtter som underlag for personer ved stående arbejde for at modvirke træthed og skader i 10 ben og rygsøjler er kendte. En måtte af den i indledningen angivne art er omhandlet i dansk patentansøgning nr. 348/93, hvor de to mønstre udgøres af ribber på måttens over- og underside. Ribberne på oversiden er anbragt i mellemrummene mellem ribberne på 15 undersiden og er smallere end mellemrummene, således at der opstår træk i det frie stykke bærelag på hver side af ribberne, når disse trædes ned.Elastic resilient mats as a support for people in standing work to counteract fatigue and damage in 10 legs and spines are known. A mat of the kind specified in the introduction is disclosed in Danish Patent Application No. 348/93, where the two patterns are made of ribs on the top and bottom of the mat. The ribs on the upper side are arranged in the spaces between the ribs on the underside and are narrower than the spaces, so that there are features in the free piece of support layer on each side of the ribs when they are pulled down.

Med opfindelsen er der frembragt en måtte af den i 20 indledningen angivne art med et punktformet mønster på over- og underside. Denne udformning viser sig at medføre større komfortmæssige ståegenskaber, da den giver fjedrende efter i punktformede områder og ikke i linieformede områder bestemt af et ribbemønster, dvs.The invention provides a mat of the kind set forth in the preamble with a dot-shaped pattern on the upper and lower sides. This design is found to result in greater comfort standing properties, as it provides resilient in point-shaped areas and not in linear areas determined by a rib pattern, ie.

25 måtten har bedre tilpasningsegenskaber til fodtrykket herpå. Egenskaberne er desuden ensartet, uanset i hvilken retning fødderne vender på måtten, mens dette ikke er tilfældet ved et ribbemønster, hvor egenskaberne er mærkbart anderledes i ribbernes længderetning og ' 30 tværretning. Yderligere har måtten bedre drænegenskaber som følge af de punktformede støttepartier og kan lægges vilkårligt i forhold til en given strømning på gulvet, hvor et ribbemønster skal orienteres i strømningsretningen for overhovedet at lade vandet 35 passere ind under måtten. Af hensyn til smudsansamlinger og vækststeder for bakterier, svampe samt mikroorganismer 2 DK 171549 B1 i almindelighed er det afgørende, at kontakten med gulvet er så minimal som muligt. Bortset fra at måtten i sig selv skal være rengøringsvenlig, letter de punktformede støttepartier også rengøringen af gulvet under denne.The 25 mat has better adaptation properties to the foot print thereof. Furthermore, the properties are uniform, regardless of the direction in which the feet are facing the mat, whereas this is not the case with a rib pattern where the properties are noticeably different in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the ribs. Further, the mat has better drainage properties due to the dot-shaped support portions and can be laid arbitrarily with respect to a given flow on the floor, where a rib pattern must be oriented in the flow direction to allow the water to pass under the mat at all. For the sake of dirt accumulation and growth sites for bacteria, fungi and microorganisms in general, it is essential that contact with the floor is as minimal as possible. Apart from the fact that the mat itself must be easy to clean, the dot-shaped support sections also facilitate the cleaning of the floor beneath it.

Geometrien af de punktformede partier kan spænde vidt og behøver ikke at være ens på over- og underside. Blot for at nævne nogle geometriske former kan peges på firkanter, trapezer, trekanter, kuglekalotter, polygoner og kegler.The geometry of the dot-shaped portions can range widely and does not have to be the same on the upper and lower sides. Just to name a few geometric shapes can be pointed to squares, trapezes, triangles, bullets, polygons and cones.

En udførelsesform for opfindelsen skal i det følgende beskrives nærmere under henvisning til medfølgende tegning, hvorpå: 15 fig. 1 viser et udsnit af måtten set direkte ovenfra, fig. 2 viser et udsnit af måtte set direkte nedefra, fig. 3 viser et forstørret udsnit af måttens mønster på 20 overside og underside, hvor mønstret på undersiden er vist med stiplet linie, og fig. 4 viser udsnittet af måtte set direkte fra siden.An embodiment of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a top view of the mat; FIG. 2 shows a section of mat seen directly from below; FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the mat pattern of 20 upper and lower sides, the pattern of the underside being shown in dotted line; and FIG. 4 shows the section of the mat seen directly from the side.

25 På tegningens fig. 1 er der i naturlig størrelse vist et udsnit af måtten set direkte fra oven. Som det fremgår, har oversiden et mønster af tætsiddende kegler 2 eller rettere keglestubbe, da den yderste spids mangler. Placeret mellem disse kegler 2 har måtten et mønster på 30 undersiden bestående af et andet sæt spredt placerede kegler som vist i naturlig størrelse i fig. 2. Keglernes form er identisk, blot er keglerne på måttens underside ikke så høje som på oversiden. Størrelsesforholdet fremgår af tegningens fig. 4, der i forstørret målestok 35 viser et udsnit af måtten set direkte fra siden, og hvor 6 angiver bærelaget.25 In the drawing FIG. 1, a natural view of a mat is shown directly from above. As can be seen, the upper side has a pattern of tight-fitting cones 2 or rather cone stumps, as the outermost tip is missing. Located between these cones 2, the mat has a pattern on the underside consisting of another set of spaced apart cones as shown in natural size in FIG. 2. The shape of the cones is identical, but the cones on the underside of the mat are not as high as on the upper side. The aspect ratio is shown in FIG. 4, which shows, on an enlarged scale 35, a section of the mat seen directly from the side, and 6 indicates the support layer.

3 DK 171549 B1 På tegningens fig. 3 er der i ca. fire gange forstørrelse vist et udsnit af måtten set direkte fra oven, og hvor keglerne på måttens underside er vist med stiplet linie.3 DK 171549 B1 In the drawing FIG. 3 there are for approx. four magnification shows a section of the mat seen directly from above, and the cones on the underside of the mat are shown in dotted line.

5 Som det fremgår af billedet, er hver kegle 2 på måttens overside understøttet af fire kegler 4 på måttens underside. Som det fremgår, tangerer keglerne på måttens underside billedligt talt keglerne på oversiden, idet de er adskilt af bærelaget 6. Der findes således ingen 10 direkte understøtninger under trædekeglerne 2 på måttens underside, dvs. de svæver mellem støttekeglerne 4 på måttens underside. Et fodtryk på trædekeglerne 2 vil trykke disse elastisk ned mellem støttekeglerne 4 under opståen af elastiske trækspændinger i bærelaget 6. Det 15 punktformede mønster bevirker en god tilpasning til fodaftrykket på måtten, idet måttens form indstiller sig i punkter efter aftrykket. Det, at keglerne på måttens underside med spidsen hviler på underlaget, bidrager også til højnelse af måttens gode elastiske egenskaber.5 As can be seen in the picture, each cone 2 on the top of the mat is supported by four cones 4 on the underside of the mat. As can be seen, the cones on the underside of the mat are pictorially tangent to the cones on the upper side, separated by the support layer 6. There are thus no 10 direct supports under the trusses 2 on the underside of the mat, ie. they hover between the support cones 4 on the underside of the mat. A footprint on the tread cones 2 will press them elastically between the support cones 4 during elastic tensioning in the support layer 6. The 15-point pattern provides a good fit to the footprint of the mat, with the shape of the mat adjusting to points after the print. The fact that the cones on the bottom of the mat with the tip resting on the substrate also contribute to enhancing the good elastic properties of the mat.

20 Samtidig medfører det mindst mulig kontaktflade med gulvet, og derved mindskes grosteder for bakteriesvampe og mikroorganismer i almindelighed, ligesom smulder, der med en vandstrøm føres ind under måtten, ikke så let hænger fast på de nedadvendende kegler. Keglemønstret 25 bevirker tillige stort set fri strømning under måtten.20 At the same time, the least possible contact surface with the floor, thereby reducing the germs of bacterial fungi and microorganisms in general, as well as crumbs introduced with a stream of water under the mat, do not so easily adhere to the downward cones. The cone pattern 25 also causes substantially free flow under the mat.

Med opfindelsen er der således frembragt en måtte med fortræffelige komfortegenskaber for stående personer, og som er særdeles velegnet til brug indenfor 30 fødevareindustrien og medicinalindustrien, hvor der stilles meget strenge krav til hygiejnen, men måtten kan naturligvis også anvendes andre steder.The invention thus provides a mat with excellent comfort properties for standing persons, and which is particularly suitable for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where very strict hygiene requirements are imposed, but the mat can of course also be used elsewhere.
