Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a rug. The rug is used by being laid between boards such as flooring or on a concrete surface, a carpet or a floor sheet, a tatami mat, a decorative flooring material, etc., and does not adhere to the surface to be laid or be fixed by nailing or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, tatami rooms have been reduced in dwellings, and some houses have no tatami mats. However, for old people etc., it is necessary to use a tatami room, or for a large number of people such as banquets, the tatami room will have a larger number of people. It has been desired to lay tatami mats.

A rug using a tatami mat (hereinafter referred to as a tatami mat rug) makes this possible, and is usually stored and simply laid between the boards when necessary. In this case, since it is thin, it does not take up a storage place, and it becomes a tatami room just by laying, and when it is completed, it can be stored again. In addition to such extraordinary use, these are always laid in a part between the boards,
In some cases, the room may be partially tatami-sized to meet the needs of elderly people living together.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These tatami mats are
Unlike the case of laying in a normal room, depending on the size and purpose of the room, the floor is laid all over the floor, and it is laid without fixing the periphery in the center or part of the room, so one by one as it is May move away. For this reason, it is necessary to connect the side surfaces of a plurality of tatami mat coverings.

Conventionally, tatami mats have been connected by sewing with a thread, connecting by a slide fastener, and a hook-and-loop fastener (hereinafter referred to as "hook / hook") having different engaging elements, that is, hook-shaped engaging elements and loop-shaped engaging elements. Loop-type surface fasteners). However, in sewing with a thread, sewing work is troublesome, and once connected tatami mat rugs cannot be separated, they are apparently large tatami mat rugs, so that handling thereof is often inconvenient. The connection by the slide fastener makes it possible to connect and separate the tatami mat rug, but it is difficult to use a large member such as the tatami mat rug because it is difficult to maintain the linearity. The hook / loop separate surface hook-and-loop connection is a method for solving the above-mentioned problem. However, since the engaging elements of the hook-and-loop fastener are different, the tatami mat must be arranged so as to be a correct combination. There are inconvenient points to use.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has completed the present tatami mat rug as a result of diligent research and is characterized by a tatami mat and a base material fixed to the back surface thereof. The rug is provided with a hook-and-loop engaging element and a loop-shaped engaging element on at least one side surface, and has a total thickness of 25 mm or less.

In the present invention, the tatami mat rug is a tatami mat whose surface is woven with rush.
It refers to one that is fixed to a substrate such as a flexible sheet. The rush may be a natural rush or an artificial or synthetic imitation rush. The imitation rush may be made of plastic, paper, or pulp. Above all, by passing a tape-shaped body made of a thermoplastic resin stretched in the longitudinal direction through a heating member forming a narrow gap, irregularly convergently formed,
Further, those having a fused film formed on the surface are preferable.

[0008] The substrate may be any member as long as it supports and fixes the tatami mat. For example, wood board, plywood,
Examples of the sheet include a plastic sheet, a plastic foam sheet, a metal plate, an insulation board, and a fiber sheet (woven cloth or nonwoven cloth). In short, the overall thickness is 25mm
In the following, it is sufficient that the tatami mat can be fixed and supported. A flexible material that can be wound can be stored in a roll, so that it can be made into a long shape. For example, a product larger or longer than a normal tatami mat can be freely manufactured.
Make the width the same (80-100cm) and only length 2m
The above may be used. In addition, a roll that cannot be wound cannot be stored in a roll. However, since it is thin, it can be stored several times as much as a normal tatami.

The reason why the overall thickness is set to 25 mm or less is because it does not trip and is easy to store. Therefore, in order to further enhance this effect, 15 mm or less,
In particular, it is preferable to set it to about 10 mm. If it is 15 mm or less, it hardly trips even if it is laid in a part of the room. The shape is not limited to the long shape described above, but may be a normal tatami size or any shape such as a square or a polygon.

[0010] The tatami mat and the base material may be fixed by any means such as adhesion and sewing. Another sheet may be provided between the base material and the tatami mat or on the back surface of the base material. For example, it is a cushioning material, a moisture absorbing material, a heat insulating material, a fungicide, or the like.

[0011] The tatami mat rug of the present invention may be provided with an edge similar to a normal tatami mat on a specific side. In particular, in order to lay freely at random, if the shape is square and four edges are provided, there is no need to consider the direction and order at all when laying.

A hook-and-loop fastener (hereinafter referred to as "hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook / hook") having a mixture of a hook-shaped engaging element and a loop-shaped engaging element is used.
The loop-mixed surface fastener is referred to as “a hook-type engaging element and a loop-shaped engaging element are provided on one surface (the same surface) at a predetermined ratio. The mixed ratio is 7/3 ~
About 3/7 is preferable. Further, a structure in which the loop-shaped engaging element is slightly higher than the hook-shaped engaging element is more preferable. This is because the loop-shaped engagement element has a loop and is flexible, so that it has a good touch and is excellent in preventing damage when it comes into contact with textiles such as socks. In the present invention, several tatami mat rugs are used in combination, but a frame around the tatami mat is basically not used. Therefore, the hook / loop mixed surface fastener on the side surface may be exposed on the peripheral side surface. In such a case, human socks and clothes will come into contact with the hook-and-loop fastener. However, when the loop-shaped engagement element is configured high, there is almost no catch. Of course, it is not excluded that the hook-shaped engaging element and the loop-shaped engaging element have substantially the same height, but the influence on the textile product must be considered. As surface fasteners that have no distinction between male and female, there is a surface fastener having a small mushroom-shaped engaging element, which is not suitable for engaging in a large area and has large damage to textiles. Not suitable for the purpose of the invention.

In the present invention, the hook / loop mixed surface fastener may be provided on one side, two sides, three sides, or all four sides. Also, it is free to be provided on the edge or on the side without the edge. Although it is provided on the side surface, it may extend to the back surface. When the hook / loop mixed surface fastener is applied to the back surface, if the surface to be laid is a carpet or upholstered, engagement with the carpet or cloth upholstery occurs, so that the tatami mat rug is prevented from slipping. How to fix hook / loop mixed surface fastener
Any method such as bonding and sewing may be used. Further, the edge may be fixed in advance to the edge, and the edge may be attached.

The hook / loop mixed type surface fastener may be provided in a long shape over the entire length of the side, or may be provided in several small places. When small things are provided in several places, it is necessary to provide so that the position may correspond. When the rug is rectangular, it is preferable that the rug be fitted even when rotated 90 degrees vertically and horizontally.
