DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a floor mat for a riding golf cart.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a golf course in Japan, a party has a maximum of four golfers and one caddy in total. Accordingly, a five-seater golf cart having a shape as shown in FIG. 2 is provided, and has a structure in which two people ride on the front seat 6 and three people ride on the rear seat 7. During golf play, a caddy rides in the driver's seat and a golfer in the other seats of the two-seat front seat 6 during golf play, and the three-seat rear seat 7 Has three golfers on board,
It is common to move during golf play.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing an overview of a riding golf cart. In this golf cart, a main frame 1 and a rear frame 2 have a basic structure of a vehicle body, and various components are mounted thereon. Handle 3 during manual operation
Accordingly, the front wheels 4 are steered using an electromagnetic induction method, a wireless method, or the like during automatic driving. On the other hand, rear frame 2 has rear wheels 5
The rear wheel 5 is rotated by a drive motor (not shown) to drive the riding golf cart. A front seat 6 for two people is provided in the center of the vehicle body and slightly in front, and a rear seat 7 for three people is provided in the rear part of the vehicle body.

A front roof support 71 and a rear roof support 72 are attached to the front and rear of the vehicle body, respectively, and the roof 70 is supported on these supports. Front roof support
71 is equipped with a transparent resin windshield (not shown). And, luggage such as golf bags,
After being placed on the, it is fixed with a belt (not shown) for the purpose of drop prevention.

[0005] In the above-mentioned riding golf cart, the front floor 32 and the rear floor 34 are provided with rubber floors for preventing the golfer's spike shoes from scratching or slipping when wet. Mats are laid. These floor mats are generally arranged one by one as a front floor mat 13 and a rear floor mat 14 for the purpose of cost reduction. Because the rear seat step floor 34 is flat, the rear floor mat 14
Has almost no problems such as displacement.

On the other hand, the floor surface of the front seat comprises a horizontal front seat step floor surface 32 and a front seat inclined wall surface 33 formed at an angle of 90 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees with the front seat step floor surface 32. It is configured. Therefore, when a flat rubber floor mat is used in this portion, the rubber is easily lifted due to the elasticity of the rubber. Further, the front floor mat 13 laid on this portion is likely to be displaced such as slipping down. In addition, soil and pebbles easily enter between the floor mat and the step floor surface 32. For these reasons, caddies and golfers who are in the front seats are often uncomfortable.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is difficult for floating or displacement to occur. The purpose is to provide a front floor mat 13 that is difficult to enter.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a horizontal front step floor is formed at an angle of 90 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees with the front step floor. A floor mat made of a material which is laid on the floor of a riding golf cart having a front seat inclined wall surface and which is resilient to pressure changes, and the front seat step floor is provided on the back surface of the floor mat. And a thick ridge along the intersection of the front seat and the inclined wall.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the thick ridge has a ridge at the tip, and a third aspect has a projection on the back surface of the floor mat. And

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a front floor mat 13. As shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the use state of the front floor mat 13 of the present invention as viewed from the front and obliquely above. The front floor mat 13 of the present invention is laid along the shape of the horizontal front seat step floor surface 32 and the front seat inclined wall surface 33 of the riding golf cart, and is made of a flexible material that is resilient to pressure changes. It was produced by molding. EPDM, which is a thermoplastic elastomer, is used as the flexible material.
A rubber containing (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer) as a main component was used.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front floor mat 13 of the present embodiment has a thick ridge 15 along the intersection of a plane 17 parallel to the floor and a plane 18 rising from the floor. It is characterized by having. Then, the tip of the thick ridge 15 forms a ridge line. The distal end of such a thick ridge 15 is laid in a fitted state along the joining surface between the front seat step floor surface 32 and the front seat inclined wall surface 33. Therefore,
When the front floor mat 13 of the present embodiment is used, the adhesion between the front seat step floor surface 32 and the front seat inclined wall surface 33 is improved. The specific size of the thick ridge 15 is not particularly limited, but is specifically as follows. That is, with respect to the front floor mat 13 having a thickness of 7 mm, the maximum thickness of the thick ridge 15 is set to 10 to 20 mm.

A large number of conical projections 19 having a diameter of 3 mm and a height of 3 mm are formed on the back surface of the front floor mat 13. Due to the formation of the projections 19, slippage and displacement can be reduced. With these improvements, there is almost no lifting or displacement, and it is possible to make it difficult for soil and pebbles to enter under the floor mat and the step floor.
Therefore, a driver or a golfer who is in the front seat can be less likely to feel uncomfortable with his / her feet.

[0013]

As described above, the use of the front floor mat 13 according to the present invention makes it difficult for the floor mat to be lifted or displaced, and reduces the entry of dirt and pebbles between the floor mat and the step floor. it can. Therefore, the driver or golfer sitting in the front seat does not feel uncomfortable and is excellent.
