Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a carpet to be compact, convenient to carry, and ease to use while securing improved seating comfort. SOLUTION: A pair of relatively thick plate bodies 3 and 4 that are rich in elasticity are connected so that they can be folded and piled up via a hinge 5. A first through hole 6 is provided at a side end section that is opposite to the hinge 5 of one plate body 3. A second through hole 7 is provided at a section corresponding to the first through hole 6 of the other plate body 4. At the same time, the carpet mat comprises a cushion body 2 where a slit 8 is formed between the periphery and the second through hole 7, and a locking body 10 that connects both the ends of a rope body 11 that is inserted into the first through hole 6 for inserting and locking from the first through hole 6 of the pair of plate bodies 3 and 4 in the folded and piled-up attitude to the second through hole 7.

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rug that can be used outdoors and that can be easily carried. 2. Description of the Related Art In outdoor leisure activities such as watching sports, hiking, camping, etc., a person sits down on an appropriate place including a bench. It was wet, cold and unhealthy, and the benches in the gymnasium and the dome stadium were hard and painful when sitting for a long time. Accordingly, many types of seat cushions and mats that can be used outdoors have been proposed. [0004] However, this kind of thing is inevitably bulky and inconvenient to carry when it is comfortable to sit. There is also a form in which a large one is folded and carried, for example, but it is bulky and difficult to handle. [0005] Accordingly, the present invention is a rug mat invented to solve the conventional dissatisfaction points and to meet the demand, and it is an object of the present invention to make it compact, portable and easy to handle while ensuring good sitting comfort. And SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is to connect a pair of resilient and relatively thick plate members via a hinge so as to be freely foldable. A first through-hole is provided at an end of the plate body opposite to the hinge, a second through-hole is opened at a position corresponding to the first through-hole of the other plate body, and a peripheral edge and the second The cushion body having a slit formed between the first through-hole and the both ends of the string body inserted into the first through-hole are connected in a ring shape. And a locking member that fits and locks over the second through hole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In a mat mat 1 of the present invention, a cushion member 2 having a substantially gourd shape is formed of a synthetic resin such as EVA foam. And a pair of relatively thick plate bodies 3 and 4 which are rich in elasticity and are connected via a hinge 5 so as to be freely foldable. [0008] A circular first through-hole 6 is provided at one end of the plate 3 opposite to the hinge 5, and corresponds to the first through-hole 6 of the other plate 4. A circular second through-hole 7 is opened at the location, and a slit 8 is provided between the second through-hole 7 and the peripheral edge of the other plate body 4.
Is formed, and one plate body 3 is sandwiched between the hinges 5.
A substantially gourd-shaped third through hole 9 is provided between the first plate member 4 and the other plate member 4 for decoration. Next, the locking body 10 formed of the same synthetic resin as the cushion body 2 has a cylindrical shape, and is provided with a pair of plate bodies 3 and 4 in a posture folded over the hinge 5. The first through hole 6 and the second through hole 7 are fitted and locked, and a string 11 is inserted through the axis thereof, and the string 11 is inserted into the first through hole 6, Both ends are tied into a ring. 1 and 3 show a pair of plate members 3,
Numeral 4 indicates an open posture, which is set to be large enough to be seated. By increasing the wall thickness, cushioning is enhanced, and the seating is comfortable. When not in use or carried, the pair of plate members 3 and 4 are folded at the hinge 5 and overlapped.
The locking body 10 is fitted and locked from the opposing first through hole 6 to the second through hole 7. This locking body 10
, The pair of plate bodies 3 and 4 are maintained in the folded and overlapped position, and can be handled with half the size of the cushion body 2 (for one plate body). Since the locking body 10 is inserted into the first through hole 6 and is attached to the string body 11 having both ends tied into a ring shape, the first through hole 6 and the second Even if it is removed from the through-hole 7, no loss occurs. As shown in FIG. 4, when the locking body 10 is locked in the first through hole 6, a part of the locking body 10 is fitted as it is, and then the locking body 10 is locked in the second through hole 7. Is inserted after the cord 11 is passed through the slit 8. As described above, according to the rug of the present invention, the rug is lightweight and compact, so that it is easy to carry and can maintain the folded posture as it is. It has many excellent effects, such as not cooling when laid on stones.
