Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor mat formed by integrally adhering a base cloth and a base sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a floor mat in which a base cloth having pile yarns is bonded to the upper surface of a base sheet which has a cushioning property and is hard to slip on the floor surface.
Such floor mats have a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and thus are widely used. Rubber sheets and foamed plastics are widely used as the base sheet.

[0003]

The above floor mat has the following problems. The base cloth that is the upper surface of the floor mat is used in a very dirty state, but the floor mat has a base sheet on the lower surface of the base cloth, which makes it very difficult to wash with a washing machine. It had to be done in, and it dried very slowly, even if it was washed. If it didn't stain after washing, I had to replace it with a new floor mat. Further, when the base sheet is a rubber sheet, the floor mat can be rolled, but cannot be neatly folded, and when the base sheet is hard, it cannot be rolled. Therefore, a floor mat having a particularly large area is inconvenient to store.

Therefore, the present invention is easy to wash and
The purpose is to provide a floor mat that is convenient for storage.

[0005]

A floor mat according to the present invention is characterized in that a base cloth is detachably attached to a base sheet.

Here, the "floor mats" include those which are laid on the floor of the flooring, those which are laid on the floor of the kitchen or the toilet, and the like corresponding to various floors.

The "base sheet" is a sheet having a required anti-slip function and cushion function as a floor mat, and the "base sheet" is, for example, "foamed plastic sheet", "rubber sheet" or "rubber sheet". A resin sheet having a non-slip function "is included. Examples of the "means for removably attaching the base fabric to the base sheet" include, for example, attaching the base fabric to the base sheet with a removable adhesive provided on the upper surface of the base sheet, or An example is one in which surface fasteners are provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the base cloth, and the base cloth is attached to the base sheet by the surface fasteners. When locating the surface fasteners on the upper surface of the base sheet and the lower surface of the base cloth, if the base cloth is a non-woven felt, the base of the base cloth has the same function as the component on the loop (female) side of the surface fastener. Therefore, it includes a base sheet with the hook (male) side component of the hook-and-loop fastener attached only to the base sheet. Note that the surface fastener has a type in which the loop-side component member and the hook-side component member are paired, and the pair of component members each include a hook and a loop, and there is no distinction between the hook side and the loop side. There are types.

According to this floor mat, only the base cloth can be washed by removing the base cloth from the base sheet.
Also, when storing, the base cloth removed from the base sheet can be folded cleanly. In this case, if the base sheet can be divided, the base sheet can be stored compactly, which is preferable.

In addition, the base sheet adhered to the base sheet by the removable adhesive is less likely to cause wrinkles or floating when the base sheet is stretched, and even if wrinkles are formed, it can be easily corrected. It's easier to stretch neatly than with fasteners. Further, since the dust inside the base cloth is retained by the removable adhesive, it is preferable that dust is unlikely to be generated. In particular, when the removable pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to the entire surface of the base sheet, dust is not generated on the entire surface of the base cloth, which is more preferable.

A position deviation prevention means may be provided on the lower surface of the base sheet. Examples of the positional deviation prevention means include those in which a removable adhesive or a non-slippery material is attached to the lower surface of the base sheet.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the floor mat according to the present invention will be described below.

The floor mat 1 according to the first embodiment is
As shown in FIG. 1, the base sheet 2, the removable adhesive 3 disposed on the upper surface of the base sheet 2, and the removable adhesive 3
The base sheet 4 is attached to the base sheet and is laid on the base sheet 2 in a detachable manner.

The base sheet 2 is not slippery in relation to the floor on which it is laid and has a required cushioning property as a floor mat. As the base sheet 2, a foamed plastic, a rubber sheet, or a non-slip resin sheet having a non-slip function can be used. The removable pressure-sensitive adhesive 3 does not lose its adhesiveness no matter how many times the base cloth 4 is attached and detached. As such a re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive 3, a known re-peelable double-sided tape or a re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive having particularly excellent re-peelability can be used. Urethane-based removable adhesives that are easily available include (trade name) "Takelac and Takenate" by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. The base cloth 4 forms the surface of the floor mat,
There are piled yarns and felt-like ones.

Since the base sheet 2 and the base cloth 4 can be removed from the floor mat 1, only the base cloth 4 can be washed with a washing machine. Further, since only the base cloth 4 can be freely replaced, if the base cloth 4 is contaminated so as not to be removed even when washed, only the base cloth 4 can be replaced with a new one. Further, the base cloth 4 can be replaced depending on the season and time. When storing the floor mat 1, remove the base cloth 4 from the base sheet 2,
The base cloth 4 can be folded and stored compactly. In addition, since the base fabric 4 is attached to the base sheet 2 with the removable adhesive 3, the base fabric 4 may be wrinkled or the base fabric 4 may be stuck when the base fabric 4 is attached or used. It hardly floats from the base sheet 2.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, if the base sheet 2 is divisible, the base sheet 2 can also be compactly stored. Particularly, a floor mat having a large area such as for 3 tatami mats is convenient because the storage space for the base sheet 2 can be made compact.

Next, the floor mat 6 according to the second embodiment.
In the above, the surface fastener 7 is attached in place of the removable adhesive 3 of the floor mat 1. As the surface fastener 7, a known surface fastener can be used. One component member 7a of the surface fastener is attached to the upper surface of the base sheet 2, and the other component member 7b is attached to the lower surface 4 of the base cloth 4. In this embodiment, the surface fasteners 7 are arranged along the four sides of the floor mat 6. Since the floor mat 6 uses the hook-and-loop fastener 7, the floor mat 6 is not easily peeled off in the surface direction, and the adhesive force does not decrease.

If the base cloth 4 is a non-woven felt, the base of the base cloth 4 is a loop (female) side constituent member of the surface fastener, so that the hook (male) of the surface fastener is attached only to the base sheet. ) Side component member may be attached. It is preferable that the hook-and-loop fastener 7 has little adverse effect when the base cloth 4 is folded.

Although the embodiment of the floor mat according to the present invention has been described above, the floor mat according to the present invention is not limited to the above.

For example, the position at which the removable adhesive 3 and the surface fastener 7 are arranged is not limited to the position shown in the figure, and in the situation where the floor mat 1 is used, the base cloth can be easily rolled up from the base sheet. All you have to do is not to go up. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a removable adhesive 8 or a slip resistant material may be attached to the lower surface of the base sheet 2 as a means for preventing displacement of the floor mat.

[0020]

In the floor mat according to the present invention, since the base cloth laid on the base sheet is removably attached to the base sheet, the base cloth can be removed from the base sheet. You can wash only the cloth, replace the base cloth freely, or remove the base cloth from the base sheet and fold it for storage. In this case, if the base sheet can be divided, the base sheet can be stored compactly, which is preferable. The one using the removable adhesive as a means for removably attaching the base fabric to the base sheet is suitable because the base fabric can be easily attached and removed and dust is unlikely to occur.
