Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a stair mat adapted to be installed on stairs, especially stairs arranged to the inside of the building.
- In general, stair nosings are installed on the edge of steps for the purpose of preventing a person from missing his footing on the stairs and of obviating the danger of the missed footing, and carpeting is applied to the stairs for the purpose of giving an ornamentality, further of giving a sound absorption, a buffer action, a thermal insulation and a flexibility, conventionally the carpeting is fixed by stair rods.
- However, with stair nosings, the sound absorption, the thermal insulation and the flexibility are lacking on the steps and the buffer action is insufficient, and with continuous stair carpets, the carpets are worn away at the edge of the steps. Such carpets should be changed when dirty, which is uneconomical. There is a tendency to connect the stair nosing and the narrow carpet in one united body, or to combine stair nosing and the narrow carpet separately installed on the steps. However, the former must be uneconomically changed when the stair nosing or the carpet is morn away or damaged and changing work is difficult, the latter is not fixed firmly and its installing work is difficult; furthermore it brings into existence undesirable dispersion, for it may be installed in a manner that the stair nosing and the carpet are put side by side or one above the other by driving in of nails or screwing.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a stair mat which can alleviate the problem of missed footing on the stairs and to obviate the danger of missed footing, by covering the edge of the stair, and which gives effects of nonski.d and cushioning, and further gives sound absorption, thermal insulation, flexibility and ornamentality.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a stair mat which can be easily installed on each of the steps, and being free of undesirable dispersion.
- According to the invention there is provided a stair mat comprising: a tread base sheet member adapted to be fixed on a tread having at its front edge an edge covering bead adapted to cover the forward edge of the stairs; and a tread mat adapted to be fixed on the tread base sheet member so as to be adjacent to the edge covering bead. The tread mat can be easily and firmly fixed on each step, is free of undesirable dispersion, and can be easily changed according to the extent to which it is worn out, damaged, dirty, and the detached tread mat can be washed. The stair mat protects the forward edge of the step, and gives effects of non-skid and cushioning, further gives sound absorption, thermal insulation, flexibility and ornamentality. The stair mat can alleviate the problem of missed footing on the stairs and obviate the danger of missed forrting. The stair mat is economical and suitable for the stairs, and can diminish the quantity of carpet required.
- A stair mat of the present invention may include a framing bead at the rear edge so as to form a tread mat securing area between the edge covering bead and the framing bead, the tread mat being installed on the securing area. The edge covering bead and the framing bead may each be provided with an inclined abutment surface or a securing groove, so as to cover the front and rear edges of the tread mat. This arrangement can prevent fraying out or falling out at the front and rear edges of the tread mat.
- Furthermore a stair mat comprised as above-mentioned of the present invention may be provided with a fluorescent strip on the upper surface of the front edge of the tread mat or the edge covering bead. Thus the forward edge of the step can be visible in the dark at the night so as to maintain the safety of those going up and down the stairs.

base sheet member 61 is integrally provided with theedge covering bead 23 having the skirt, covering theforward edge 83 of thestep 80, at the front edge, and is integrally provided with the framingbead 24 at the rear edge, so as to form the securingarea 25 between theedge covering bead 23 and the framingbead 24. In order to strengthen the installation on the securingarea 25 of the treadbase sheet member 61, theedge covering bead 23 and the framingbead 24 are provided with inclined abutment surfaces 63, 64, respectively. - Therefore, if the
tread mat 62 is secured in the securingarea 25, abutting the front andrear edges rear edges tread mat 62 are covered with the inclined abutment surfaces 63, 64. Thus thetread mat 62 is fixed on the securingarea 25. Since the front andrear edges 65, bb of thetread mat 62 are covered with the inclined abutment surfaces 63, 64 respectively, falling out and fraying at the front and rear edges b5, 66 of thetread mat 62 can be prevented. - Further, if the base cloth of the
tread mat 62 is dipped in dissolved rubber, thetread mat 62 can be firmly secured on the securingarea 25. - The
stair mat 70 as shown in Figure 8, has securinggrooves 72, 73 which may be substituted for the inclined abutment surfaces b3, 64 in thestair mat 60 as above-mentioned. - The
stair mat 70 includes a treadbase sheet member 71 adhered on thetread 81 of thestep 80 and thetread mat 62 secured on the securingarea 25 of thebase sheet member 71. Theedge covering bead 23 and the framingbead 24 are provided with the securinggrooves 72, 73 formed integrally with the front and the rear edges of thebase sheet member 71 respectively. - Thus, the securing
grooves 72, 73 are formed at theedge covering bead 23 and the framingbead 24, respectively, so thetread mat 62 is fixed on the securingarea 25, with the front and therear edges tread mat 62 inserted into the securinggrooves 72, 73 respectively. - Therefore the
tread mat 62 can be more firmly fixed on the securingarea 25 in comparison with thestair mat 60 as shown in Figure 7, and falling out and fraying at the front andrear edges tread mat 62 can be prevented. - As above-mentioned, the
tread mat 62 of thestair mat base sheet member stair mats tread mat 62 can be easily changed. Further, it is easy to clean the stairs and thetread mat 62 can be washed if thetread mat 62 is detached. - As mentioned above the described stair mats of the present invention are suitable for a mat installed en the stairs of the building, especially where deadening of the sound of foorsteps is required.
