Definitions

  • the invention relates to a doormat with a base made of plastic or rubber with a plurality of deep, honeycomb-like, upwardly open chambers, at least some of which have a bottom on the underside and the partitions of which form wiping edges on the upper edge, and with bristles as other cleaning elements.
  • Floor mats with rigid scraper edges on the one hand and flexible bristles on the other have the advantage that the footwear can be cleaned in a variety of ways from coarse and fine dirt, as well as from firmly adhering and greasy dirt.
  • These combined floor mats are known in a large number of embodiments, the first being composite structures (e.g. DE-OS 25 55 125, 25 30 974, DE-GM 1 961 648), the materials used for the base body Wood or metal profiles are used, which are connected to frame-like structures.
  • the bristles are - if the body is made of wood - in a conventional manner by plugging in holes or - mainly Metal structures - fastened in box-shaped profiles by means of clamps or the like.
  • the attachment can in particular be designed so that the bristles perform their function satisfactorily, that is, on the one hand, they are flexible enough to exert a brushing effect on the sole of the footwear, and on the other hand they can be compressed to such an extent that the sole has sharp edges Scraper edges on the base body can be reached.
  • These composite structures are complex to manufacture and assemble, consequently very expensive, and secondly, their appearance suffers when used outdoors because of the weather-sensitive materials used for the base body.
  • the pins must be correspondingly close and have sufficient surface storage at the bottom of the mat, with the result that the mat does not run out with recesses for dirt to fall through can be provided by water or the like.
  • Such a mat is therefore completely unsuitable for use outdoors, especially since injectable and sufficiently elastic plastics change their elastic properties considerably as a function of the temperature.
  • floor mats made of flexible material are known (DE-GM 74 43 282), in which the base body consists of a continuous closed sole and ridges arranged thereon, which at the same time form lateral boundaries of chambers. Plastic fibers are flocked on the upper edge of the ridges.
  • the base body consists of a continuous closed sole and ridges arranged thereon, which at the same time form lateral boundaries of chambers.
  • Plastic fibers are flocked on the upper edge of the ridges.
  • the known floor mat mentioned at the beginning (DE-GM 75 20 999) is cheaper, at least in terms of use. It consists of a base body with a honeycomb structure with chambers open at the top, the partitions of which form rigid scraping edges. Block-shaped bristle carriers are used in the chambers, which approximately fill the cross-section of the chambers and are covered with bristles on their upper side. These bristles protrude slightly beyond the scraper edges. The block-shaped bristle carriers are held in these by corresponding projections on the partitions of the chambers. Furthermore, the floor each chamber with a lower opening and the block-shaped bristle carrier with a central hole so that dirt can fall through and water can run off.
  • the block-shaped bristle carriers require a considerable amount of material and, moreover, can only be mechanically injected. This is only possible in succession for each chamber, so that the production of such a doormat is very time-consuming and therefore costly.
  • the production costs of such floor mats are correspondingly high.
  • the mat has the disadvantage that the bristles are fastened to the bristle carriers near the top of the base body, so that they have only a small length in addition to the protrusion over the scraper edges. Otherwise, they should also be arranged at an angle.
  • Such short bristles have poor flexibility and also come down in a relatively short time. This applies in particular to the intentionally oblique arrangement of the bristles.
  • the invention has for its object to simplify the floor mat of the aforementioned construction in terms of production technology and to improve in terms of use.
  • the bristles in the chambers of the base body are plastic Deformation attached to at least the welded bristle ends by this soft plastic foot adapts to the outline of the partitions of the chambers, unless this alone provides sufficient anchoring, the partitions may have small undercuts in the area of the bottom of the chambers or the chambers may follow slightly taper at the top.
  • the bristles can be inserted in a single operation using appropriate multiple holders for the individual bristle bundles. Due to the deep chambers and the fact that the plastic bristles are attached to the bottom, they have a large guide length within the chambers with only a small protrusion above the upper edges of the partitions.
  • the flexibility and the straightening ability as well as the compressibility of the bristles can be optimally used, so that on the one hand they can completely dispense with their stripping effect, but on the other hand are also flexible enough to reach the stripping edges with greater pressure with the footwear.
  • the stability of the attachment of the bristles to the bottom of the chambers can possibly be further improved in that the bristles are inserted with their welded ends into the chambers of the base body, which is still hot-deformable.
  • the base body and thus primarily the bottom of the chambers can be heated from below, while at the same time the bristles with their welded ends are inserted from above and pressed into the soft plastic base.
  • the bristles are preferably arranged within the chambers in such a way that at least the outer bristles abut the partition walls of the chambers.
  • This design provides the bristles or bristle bundles arranged in a chamber with sufficient lateral support so that they do not buckle. On the other hand, they can yield to the center to a sufficient extent.
  • the bristles can either fill the chambers or can be arranged in the form of a ring within the chambers while leaving a central free space.
  • the latter embodiment has the particular advantage that, on the one hand, the resilience of the bristles to the inside is possible to an even greater extent, on the other hand dirt or water can be drained downwards in the center of the bristles, the bottom of the chambers preferably having at least one smaller opening .
  • the ratio between the bristle length projecting beyond the upper edge of the partition walls of the chambers and the bristle length located within the chambers is between 1: 2 and 1: 4.
  • the smaller aspect ratio is preferred.
  • the bristles are only inserted into individual ones of the chambers arranged in a honeycomb manner, so that the doormat has exposed wiping edges in between and a better downward dirt removal is possible.
  • the bristles used in only individual chambers are advantageously arranged distributed symmetrically on the surface of the base body, any symmetries being possible.
  • the bristles can be set closer in the middle area of the doormat than in the outer area.
  • the bristles at least partially in a flat or striped manner on the base body, so that different wiping effects can be achieved on the surface of the doormat.
  • the floor mat 1 according to FIG. 1 has a base body 2 made of plastic or rubber. This base body is delimited on all sides by smooth strips 3, which form the outline of the doormat 1. These edge strips 3 run flatly rising from the underside 4 of the base body to the top side 5 thereof.
  • the base body also has a multiplicity of chambers 6 and 7, which have different outline shapes in the exemplary embodiment shown and have a depth which corresponds approximately to the height of the doormat 1 . In some of the chambers 7 bristles 8 are used in bundle or package form.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section through a doormat in a modified honeycomb structure. It is first recognizable that the chambers 7 are relatively deep and are delimited by partition walls 10 from adjacent chambers 9. Furthermore, each chamber 7 has a bottom 12 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is provided with an opening 13 in its center. The partitions 10 form on their upper edge 11 relatively rigid scraper edges which are arranged over the entire top 5 of the floor mat.
  • the bristles 8 inserted into the chambers 7 or individual ones of these chambers are combined into individual bundles 14 and these bundles are filled into the chambers 7.
  • the bristle bundles 14 have a relatively small projection 15 relative to the scraping edges 11 of the honeycomb-like structure of the base body, whereas the length of the bristle bundles 14 located within the chambers 7 is considerably larger and can be up to four times as large.
  • the bristles are inserted into the chambers 7 in such a way that at least the outer bristle bundles 14 are laterally supported on the partitions 10.
  • the ends 16 of the bristle bundles are welded together. If necessary, this can be done so far that the bristle bundles 14 are welded to one another. In the still molten or soft plastic state, the bristle bundles with the welded bristle ends are pressed into the chamber 7 in advance. If necessary, the partition walls 10 can have small undercuts in the region of the base, into which the melt penetrates. Instead, it is also possible to close the bottom 12 itself from the bottom until it melts heat so that the welded end 16 of the bristle bundle 14 penetrates into the melt of the bottom 12 and a solid connection is obtained after solidification. If the base body 2 and the bristle bundles 14 are made of plastics that have an affinity for one another, a materially welded connection can also be formed between the bristle bundles 14 and the base 12.
