Definitions

  • Conventional door stops such as the one known from US-A-2 798 755 are mainly made of metal items and not from natural products and cannot be used for a dual purpose also as a Bootwiper/Boot Scraper/Boot Mat which is a necessity near a door in certain parts of the world. In such parts of the world where the climate is cold or dusty it is necessary to have a Door Closer/Stopper for the door to be kept closed most of the time to keep away the cold air/dust from entering the buildings.
  • DE-A-10 03 930 discloses a door mat comprising a metallic filament grid with brushing material associated therewith.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the above disadvantages and hardships encountered while using the conventional Bootwipers and the Door Closers/Stoppers.
  • the invention foresees a combined door stop and boot mat as defined in independent claim 1.
  • a method of manufacturing such an item is specified in independent claim 2.
  • the dual purpose item to be used as a Door Closer/Stoppers and a Bootwiper/Boot Mat/Boot Scraper is manufactured in the shape of a Turtle using mainly coconut fibre
  • twisted in coconut fibre rods are in turn cut and shaped to make the shell 100, belly 102, head 104, legs 106 and tail 108 of the Turtle.
  • the anti-skid rubber pads are pasted on the non-skid rubber pads with a suitable adhesive to resist movement and take part of the load (Refer Figs 11 and 18).
  • Initially different parts are prepared using the twisted in coconut fibre rods. These rods are cut to required lengths and shaped to obtain the different required components for assembly.
  • Main items are the shell 100 and the belly 102 and these are woven similar to weaving of a cadjan or a rush mat (See Figs. 2 & 3).
  • Fig. 1 where the rods 150 for making the head 104, legs 106 and tail 108 are displayed.
  • Fig. 6 shows the shell 100 and Fig 7 the attachments head 104, legs 1 to 6 and the tail 108 tied to the shell using the binding wire.
  • Edge rods are tied to the shell along the periphery and the edge rod is a combination of two or more twisted in fibre rods (Refer Figs. 8 & 9). This assembly thus becomes the top part of the Turtle. The assembly of the belly with the non-skid rubber pads 110 becomes the bottom part of the Turtle. Finally the shell and the belly assemblies are combined by tying them together with binding wire followed by the final finishing process, as shown in Figure 8
  • Fig 18 shows the anti-skid rubber pads 110 most clearly.
  • the coconut fibre used to manufacture this Turtle shaped Bootwiper/Boot Scraper/Boot Mat and the Doorcloser/Stopper can be dyed in any colour prior to the manufacturing process to give a cosmetic or matching effect to the finished product.
  • Different components such as the shell and the belly etc., could be made in different colours to obtain an attractive product.
  • Even the size and shape of the end product could be chosen by varying the sizes and shapes of the components.
  • the raw materials other than the coconut fibre used can be changed to alternate suitable products such as aluminium wire or steel wire or any other metallic wire to make the fibre rods.
  • the binding wire may be substituted with nylon/coir yarn/jut twine and the rubber pads may be replaced with any other anti-skid plastic or nylon material.
  • the belly component of the Turtle may be made by a material such as jute hessin or similar materials.
  • component made out of coconut fibre may be made with dyed of different colours:
