Description
Alfombra para baño y ducha.Carpet for bath and shower.
La presente invención se refiere a una alfombra para baños y duchas, constituida de al menos una capa principal de un material resistente al agua, al aceite y a disolventes, que por lo menos en una de sus caras está dotada de un revestimiento antideslizante, estando el conjunto adaptado para ser utilizado sobre el fondo de una bañera o en el plato de una ducha.The present invention relates to a carpet for bathrooms and showers, consisting of at least one main layer of a material resistant to water, oil and solvents, which by at least one of its faces is provided with a coating non-slip, the set being adapted to be used on the bottom of a bathtub or on the shower tray.
Es conocido que en los baños y duchas públicos, tales como los de habitaciones de hospitales y clínicas, hoteles, piscinas públicas y gimnasios, existe una posibilidad real de transmisión o contagio de enfermedades o afecciones por vía cutánea, tales como las provocadas por hongos o gérmenes, que se transmiten por contacto a través de las plantas de los pies. El temor a esta transmisión o contagio hace frecuentemente que en los centros hospitalarios, los pacientes y usuarios de las habitaciones se abstengan del uso de la ducha o la bañera y que, en hoteles y residencias, se recurra a cubrir el fondo de la bañera o la ducha con toallas para evitar el contacto con los pies, con el consiguiente perjuicio para el hotelero.It is known that in public toilets and showers, such as those in hospital and clinic rooms, hotels, public pools and gyms, there is a real possibility of transmission or transmission of diseases or conditions via skin, such as those caused by fungi or germs, which transmitted by contact through the soles of the feet. He fear of this transmission or contagion often makes hospital centers, patients and room users refrain from using the shower or bathtub and that, in hotels and residences, resort to cover the bottom of the bath or shower with towels to avoid contact with the feet, with the consequent damage to the hotelier.
Además, es sabido que en las duchas y bañeras existe en mayor o menor medida el peligro de resbalamiento, provocado por la superficie pulida y deslizante de la superficie cerámica del plato de ducha o de la bañera, con el consiguiente peligro de accidente. Para solucionarlo, se suele recurrir a alfombras, normalmente de plástico, dotadas de ventosas o de un efecto adherente, con las cuales están en contacto los pies de la persona que utiliza la bañera o ducha. La necesidad que tienen estas alfombras de hundirse en el agua, así como la de contar con unos medios de adherencia, hacen que sean pesadas y de diseño complicado. Por añadidura, tales alfombras no impiden del todo el contagio de hongos o los contagios en general de otras afecciones cutáneas, cuando son utilizadas por múltiples personas.In addition, it is known that in showers and bathtubs there is a greater or lesser risk of slipping, caused by the polished and sliding surface of the surface Ceramic shower tray or bathtub, with consequent danger of accident To solve it, we usually resort to carpets, usually of plastic, fitted with suction cups or a adherent effect, with which the feet of the person using the bath or shower. The need they have these carpets sink into the water, as well as the one to have a means of adhesion, make them heavy and design complicated. In addition, such carpets do not completely prevent fungal infection or contagions in general of other conditions cutaneous, when used by multiple people.
La presente invención tiene como finalidad principal proporcionar una alfombra higiénica para baños y duchas susceptible de ser empleada una sola vez y/o por un solo usuario, que elimine el riesgo de transmisión de enfermedades o afecciones a través de la piel que, como finalidad adicional, proteja al usuario del resbalamiento, y que al propio tiempo sea simple, ligera y de diseño y manufactura económicos.The present invention aims at Main provide a hygienic carpet for bathrooms and showers liable to be used only once and / or by a single user, that eliminates the risk of transmission of diseases or conditions to through the skin that, as an additional purpose, protects the user of slipping, and at the same time be simple, light and economic design and manufacturing.
A tal finalidad, el objeto de la presente invención es una alfombra para baño y ducha, de novedoso concepto y funcionalidad, que en su esencia se caracteriza porque dicho revestimiento antideslizante comprende un polímero elastómero, preferentemente no vulcanizado.To this end, the purpose of this invention is a carpet for bath and shower, of novel concept and functionality, which in essence is characterized because said non-slip coating comprises an elastomeric polymer, preferably not vulcanized.
Los polímeros elastómeros preferidos son el vinil acetato de etilo (EVA), el etileno propilen dieno de metilo (EPDM) y el caucho sintético.Preferred elastomeric polymers are the vinyl ethyl acetate (EVA), ethylene propylene methyl diene (EPDM) and synthetic rubber.
Según otra característica de la presente invención, el material de la capa principal es un derivado celulósico, de gran "empapabilidad" y muy bajo precio.According to another feature of the present invention, the material of the main layer is a derivative cellulosic, of great "empapabilidad" and very low price.
A continuación se hace la descripción detallada de formas de realización preferidas, aunque no exclusivas, de la alfombra para baño y ducha objeto de la invención, para cuya mejor comprensión se acompaña de unos dibujos en los cuales se ilustra a modo de ejemplo no limitativo, formas de realización de la presente invención.

la Fig. 2 es una vista en detalle y en corte, según II-II, de la alfombra de la Fig. 1.Fig. 2 is a detail and sectional view, according to II-II, of the carpet of Fig. 1.
En dichos dibujos puede apreciarse que la alfombra 1 está formada por una primera capa principal 2 y un revestimiento antideslizante, que constituye una capa antideslizante 3.In these drawings it can be seen that the carpet 1 is formed by a first main layer 2 and a non-slip coating, which constitutes a layer non-slip 3.
En el ejemplo concreto representado en los
dibujos, la alfombra 1 es de una forma esencialmente rectangular de
bordes redondeados y está provista, como detalle no esencial, de
un recorte 4 para adaptarla a un desagüe de la bañera o la ducha de
la instalación de agua. Los cantos pueden ser también en
ángulo
recto.In the specific example shown in the drawings, the carpet 1 is essentially rectangular in shape with rounded edges and is provided, as a non-essential detail, with a cut-out 4 to adapt it to a drain of the bathtub or the shower of the water installation . The songs can also be angled
straight.
La capa principal 1 es de un material resistente al agua, al aceite y a disolyentes, preferiblemente, al menos una vez, sin desintegrarse, preferiblemente un derivado celulósico, un tejido de fibras no tejidas o un material plástico sintético de célula abierta, tal como por ejemplo poli estireno expandido. La capa antideslizante 3 es preferiblemente de resinas sintéticas, preferentemente de un material elastomérico no vulcanizado, por ejemplo EVA, HOPE o un caucho sintético, los cuales gozan de una gran adherencia, aún inmergido en agua. Aunque estos materiales citados son preferidos, deben entenderse como ejemplos posibles de utilización no limitativos del alcance de la invención.The main layer 1 is of a resistant material to water, oil and solvents, preferably at least one instead, without disintegrating, preferably a cellulosic derivative, a nonwoven fiber fabric or a synthetic plastic material of open cell, such as expanded polystyrene. The non-slip layer 3 is preferably of synthetic resins, preferably of a non-vulcanized elastomeric material, by example EVA, HOPE or a synthetic rubber, which enjoy a great adhesion, still immersed in water. Although these materials cited are preferred, should be understood as possible examples of non-limiting use of the scope of the invention.
Con todo ello, la alfombra 1 constituye un conjunto adaptado para ser utilizado una sola vez o varias veces por un único usuario, sobre el fondo de una bañera o en el plato de una ducha, y ser desechado después de su utilización.With all this, carpet 1 constitutes a set adapted to be used only once or several times by a single user, on the bottom of a bathtub or on the plate of a shower, and be discarded after use.
Para ello, el citado material de la capa principal 2 es poroso, con un tamaño de poro tal que la alfombra 1 es susceptible de embeber agua a fin de no flotar, o puede estar alternativamente impregnado de una sustancia tal que la densidad de la alfombra sea superior a la del agua y no flote.To do this, the aforementioned layer material Main 2 is porous, with a pore size such that carpet 1 is susceptible to water so as not to float, or it may be alternatively impregnated with a substance such that the density of the carpet is superior to that of water and does not float.
Como características adicionales y que aportan a la alfombra 1 otras ventajas, se ha previsto que esté íntegramente constituida por materiales ecológicos, recuperables e ignífugos.
