Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a table for tableware in a dining room or a general household, and more particularly, to a synthetic resin table mat that replaces a rug sheet used as a holder for food utensils.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The table mat is also called a rancho mat, and is widely used as a rug sheet in a Western table. This sheet is mainly made of a fiber mat, and is repeatedly washed and reused. Also, as can be seen at hotels and inns, as a measure to reduce the cost in the cafeteria, with the spread of self-service, put ordered food or buffet dishes etc. in a container, and the container is called a tray In many cases, they are placed on a flat table mat, transported to a seat, placed on the table, and eat. The table mat at this time also serves as a so-called tray or tray.
[0003]
Since it is sometimes used as a tray or tray, in order to prevent the container from slipping during its transportation, a material with high frictional resistance should be attached to the plate-like surface and back surface, or the lower surface of the container. is there. That is, as a result of an investigation of this conventional technology by an IPDL (patent electronic library), those considered to be relevant to the present invention are listed below.
[0004]
First, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 31-16384 discloses an article mounting table in which a solid edge provided with a fitting groove at the center of the inner periphery with a soft substance such as rubber or vinyl on the outer periphery of a plate-like body is detachably fitted. (Hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 1").
[0005]
In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 50-35569 (hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 2"), an adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of a plate made of synthetic resin or metal, and cork particles are uniformly dispersed and adhered thereto. Disclosed are structures of cups and table trays.
[0006]
Further, a tableware for sick persons having a rising portion on the peripheral edge and made of a foldable thin plastic and having a front and back surface provided with a means for increasing frictional resistance is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 55-16176 ( (Hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 3").
[0007]
On the other hand, a synthetic resin paint film is formed on the entire surface of the main body made of urea resin, ABS resin, melanin resin or wood material, metal, etc., and a soft synthetic resin or rubber is formed on the mounting upper surface or the installation lower surface of the film. A non-slip structure of lacquer ware with a fine projection formed by the method disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 59-145882 (hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 4") is disclosed in FIGS. A tray having a large frictional resistance similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 disclosed in the publication of Reference 3 is shown.
[0008]
Further, non-slip trays in which a polyurethane film is laminated on the surface of a main body made of a thermosetting resin material are disclosed in JP-A-1-16050 (hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 5"). A synthetic resin tray to which a non-slip sheet is joined without applying a non-slip paint on the front and back surfaces of a tray body molded into a shallow container using synthetic resin (including FRP) as a raw material is a special feature. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-206338 (hereinafter simply referred to as "Reference 6") is disclosed.
[0009]
That is, a plate-like tray (for distinguishing from the table mat according to the present invention, the article placing table, the cupbed, the table tray, the tableware tray, the pen tray, the library, the display cabinet, the tray, and the like described in References 1 to 6 above) , Typically referred to as a "tray"), are described in references 3 to 6. References 1 to 6 disclose that the back side of the tray is non-slip. As described above, there are many containers and trays that are designed so that the surfaces of the containers and trays do not slip easily and that there is no danger that the trays may naturally move even if the trays slide on a trolley. However, in order to arrange a large number of favorite foods (side foods), staple foods, and the like arranged on a tray, it is difficult to use the same size as a general tray so that it can be transported and used on a dining table.
[0010]
In the case of a conventional tray, as can be seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 attached to Reference 6, the edges protrude outward, and the edges of the main body also have a depth. Although it can be carried with the protruding outward edge, when trying to remove only the container, there is a depth at the edge of the main body, which may be an obstacle. In Reference 5 in which a polyurethane film is laminated on the back side of the tray, and in Reference 6 in which a sheet is bonded to the back of the bottom plate, a solution such as water is spilled on the upper surface of the table, and the back surface of the tray is soaked. It has been found that the liquid becomes a lubricant and easily slips, or that a piece of paper or the like is sandwiched between the lower surfaces of the trays and the trays slip.
[0011]
Further, if a solid material is formed of a soft material as in Reference 1, there is no gap between the solid material and the table around the material. Is difficult to apply. Similarly, in Reference 2, since there is no gap between the bottom surface of the plate and the top surface of the table, it is difficult to put a finger on the table.
[0012]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A first object of the table mat of the present invention is to provide a tray and a tray for the purpose of use, and to be easy to handle in consideration of washing, drying and storage. A second object is to prevent the table mat from slipping on the table. That is, as the table mat becomes larger, washing, drying and storage are also important from the viewpoint of food hygiene, and the following means are used to achieve the purpose.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A synthetic resin table mat formed of a synthetic resin as a raw material in a flat plate shape and having an outer edge inclined obliquely upward on an outer peripheral edge on a main body surface side, and an inner periphery symmetrical with the outer edge on a rear surface side of the main body. At a nearby position, at least three protrusions having a circular hole are protruded, and the hole is formed in a circular trapezoidal shape with the same resin as the main body, and a granular spacer sprayed and coated with a rubber-based resin paint on the surface side thereof. The spacers are fitted and bonded to form a slip stopper, and the spacer guides the stacked table mats so that the stacked table mats are aligned with the outer shape when the flat table mats are stacked, and the back surface of the main body and the table or the front surface side A gap and a space between the edges.
[0014]
The reason why the spacers are formed of the same resin as the table mat body is that it is easy to select an adhesive to be fitted to and adhered to the projections having holes. This is to complete the drying. And, the height of the spacer is set so as to be located close to the outer peripheral edge in an oblique direction and is slightly higher than the depth of the inclined outer edge, so when stacking a flat table mat, The stacked table mats are positioned via the spacers, and there is no direct contact between the table mats or between the table and the table mat. It is suitable for drying and disinfecting.
[0015]
In addition, it is molded into a flat plate using synthetic resin as a raw material, and forms an outer edge inclined obliquely upward on the outer peripheral edge of the main body surface side, and is continuous or discontinuous inside in parallel with the outer edge on the main body rear side. It is a tray-shaped synthetic resin table mat in which the thread buttocks or protrusions are integrally formed, and a rubber-based resin paint is partially spray-painted on the lower end side of the thread buttocks or protrusions to constitute a slip stopper, When the flat ends of the table mats are stacked, the thread ends or protrusions guide the positioning so that the stacked table mats are aligned with the outer shape, and the outer edge on the front side placed first and the back side placed later. To have a gap or space between the outer edge of the lens.
[0016]
In this table mat, the thread butt (the protrusion is omitted because it is the same as the spacer described above) is formed integrally or continuously and discontinuously inside and parallel to the outer edge. It is spray painted with rubber-based resin paint. That is, as in the case of bonding the spacer described above, the bottom surface on the back side is prevented from directly contacting the table, and a partial anti-slip effect is obtained. I try not to slip. Also, the height of the thread end is slightly higher than the height of the outer edge, and since there is a space or gap between the front surface side of the main body and the back side of the main body stacked above, press the outer shape by hand. It is easy to align them, and even when placed on the table, there is a space between the back surface and the table top, so that it is designed to be easily held with a finger.
[0017]
Further, a feature is provided in which a grain pattern is transferred to the rear surface of the flat main body.
[0018]
On the back surface of the main body, a grain pattern is transferred, so that work such as finishing coating or paint application can be omitted on the back side, and fine irregularities are formed on the pattern, so that the table mat can be easily held.
[0019]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The table mat made of a synthetic resin has a shape such as a half-moon type 1A (FIG. 1), a hook type 1B (FIG. 2), and an oval type 1C (not shown) from its plan view outer shape. 4 is an explanatory view for assembling the spacer S1 and the table mat 1, FIG. 5 is a side view showing another spacer S2, FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view and a side view when the table mat 1 is stacked on the table T, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a partial side view of the case where the projections Q (projections S) are integrally formed on the table mat 1, and FIG. 8 is a partial side view of the case where the low thread ends R and the high thread ends P are integrally formed discontinuously in FIG. explain. In the case where the components, part codes, and names in the table mat have the same function, the description will be given with the same codes and the same names.
[0020]
An outer edge 11 is protruded from the outer peripheral edge of the flat plate-shaped main body 10 to the surface side continuously at a low height like an edge (FIGS. 1, 2 and 4). On the rear surface side, a projection 13 having a hole 12 into which the spacer S1 can be fitted is integrally formed so as to be located slightly inside the rising edge of the outer edge 11. Assuming that the recess 14 (the height of the outer edge) formed by the outer edge 11 is 1 mm, the height of the projection 13 is 0.5 mm, so that there is a difference in height. Further, in the case of the half-moon type 1A, the protrusions 13 are provided at a total of four positions symmetrically to the left and right with respect to the center line XX, but one at the center line XX and one at each corner. May be projected at a total of three places. Furthermore, in the case of the hook type 1B, four positions are installed at each corner of the main body 10. In this corner portion, it is desirable that the projection 13 is provided as close to the corner as possible.
[0021]
The spacer S1 is formed into a circular trapezoidal shape using the same resin as the main body 10 (FIG. 4). The outer diameter of the spacer S1 is a size that can be fitted into the hole 12, but is usually about 10 mm, the height (thickness) is formed to be 2 mm higher than the projection 13, and the surface Sa is sprayed with silicone rubber. Alternatively, a rubber-based resin paint such as urethane rubber is applied by spraying and dried in a hot air oven. That is, since a large number of spacers S1 are spray-coated in parallel with the front surface side Sa on the base plate and dried, no rubber-based resin paint is applied to the back surface Sb to which the adhesive is applied. . Therefore, the spacer S1 which is the same as the main body 10 is bonded with high affinity so that both the bottom surface of the hole 10 and the back surface side Sb are melted by the selected adhesive.
[0022]
The spacer S2 is an example in which the hole 19 is formed on the back surface side Sb of the spacer S2 without the projection 13 having the hole 12 provided in the main body 10. In this case, it is necessary to form a projection having no hole on the main body 10 (S position in FIGS. 1 and 2) so as to fit with the hole 19. The front surface Sa of the spacer S2 is sprayed with a rubber-based resin paint on the front surface Sa in the same manner as the spacer S1. Further, the spacer S2 may be formed in this convex shape instead of the hole 19 like a concave, and a concave hole which fits the convex in the main body 10 may be formed. This is because projections 13 or projections are provided to keep the positions of the spacers S1 and S2 constant, and are bonded without using a jig. The purpose of making the positions of the spacers S1 and S2 as constant as possible is to make the positions of the table mats 1 stable when stacking the table mats 1 in order to stabilize the stacking.
[0023]
Next, the case of the oval die 1C will be described. The outer edge 11 is formed in a bump-like shape on the outer peripheral edge on the front side of the flat main body 10 and is continuously formed at the same height. The thread tail R whose height is lower than the height is continuously and integrally formed (FIGS. 3 and 8). The thread ends P may be continuously provided at the same height on the entire periphery. However, in consideration of design and use, high thread ends P and low thread ends R are alternately and alternately provided. ing. FIG. 7 shows a case where a circular trapezoidal projection Q is integrally formed. Urethane rubber or silicone rubber-based resin paint is sprayed onto the lower end face 18 of the thread end P and the projection Q, and then dried. In this case, it is necessary to use a jig that limits the portion to which the rubber-based resin is sprayed and applied, for example, to prevent the coating film from adhering to the back surface of the main body 10. In the case of this embodiment, the height of the thread end P or the protrusion Q is about 2 mm, and the depression 14 formed by the height of the outer edge 11 is 1 mm.
[0024]
The table mat 1 is made of an ABS resin, an acrylic transparent resin, or the like, which is generally widely used as a resin molding material for food containers or utensils. Surface treatment is performed.
[0025]
The molding die that contacts the back side of the main body 10 of the table mat 1 is subjected to graining, and the grain pattern is transferred and molded. Many grain patterns are originally attached to the surface of a molded product, but in the case of a table mat, eating utensils and containers are arranged on the surface side. However, it is not preferred because dust or dust may adhere to the surface and may be visually observed as residue. However, by forming a grain pattern on the back side, work such as hard coating is not required, but rather the back side With the improvement of the decorative property on the side, there is an effect that the adhesion of the fingerprint or the hand mark is not observed.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 6, the table mat 1 placed on the table T is connected to the back surface of the main body 10 via the spacers S1 and S2 or the protrusions Q (hereinafter collectively referred to as "projections S") or the thread ends P. A space 17 is formed with T. Then, based on the inclination of the outer edge 11, the upper side of the table mat 1 has the protrusions S or the thread ends P on the front side of the main body 10. If you push them so that they are aligned with each other, they can be easily positioned and stacked, so that they can be stacked one after another. That is, it is convenient from the viewpoint of storage management.
[0027]
Further, a gap 16 is formed between the back surface of the main body 10 of the stacked table mats 1 and the outer edge 11 of the previously placed table mat 1, and a space 17 is formed between the gap 16 and the front surface. Since this space 17 is formed, air permeability is good at the time of ventilation drying. For example, the surface side shown in FIG. When placed vertically, the space 17 is formed via the protrusion S or the thread end P, so that the storage system for draining after washing and disinfecting and disinfecting using a chemical reaction disclosed in JP-A-2001-231649 is disclosed. Can be used.
[0028]
In addition, when actually eating, the depression 14 is a place where the spilled water is stored, so that the table T is not stained. Further, since the depression 14 is shallow, the possibility that the outer edge 11 becomes an obstacle when holding the container irrespective of Japanese food or Western food is eliminated. Further, the protrusions S or the thread ends P are partially set at three or more places, and a rubber-based resin paint is applied and adhered to the surface Sa or the lower end surface 18 side. However, even if there is an intermediate member between the table T and the remaining two or more projections S or thread ends P are in direct contact with the table T, they individually have local frictional force. As a result, there is no case where the slip is strongly suppressed and the entire tray is slid by inserting the paper in a part as in the related art.
[0029]
Further, when the table mat 1 is placed on the table T, a space 17 is formed, and when the table mats 1 are stacked, a gap 16 is formed. In any case, the finger can be lifted while being inserted below the outer edge 11. Therefore, it can be handled safely with a grain pattern.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, an outer edge inclined obliquely upward is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the flat main body surface, and a spacer coated with a rubber-based resin paint is provided on the back surface thereof, or a rubber-based resin Since the paint is applied, there is no damage on the table mats to be stacked, not to mention the top surface of the table, as well as the table mats to be stacked. Since there is a gap between the back side of the main body and the table and the table mats to be stacked, there is a gap / space, and it is easy to handle the finger below the outer edge, so that it is easy to handle and has the gap / space. Good air permeability, draining, drying, sterilization / disinfection, etc. can be performed efficiently, and stacking / stacking can be done safely. Therefore, even when several table mats are stacked and transported, they can be safely transported in a stable stacked state. In addition, although it is a simple shape from the viewpoint of the shape, since it is formed of a synthetic resin, it has good washing properties and has excellent effects as a tableware in safety and health.
[0031]
In addition, on the back side of the main body, if you mold the mold so that the grain pattern is transferred, you can add a pattern such as wrinkle pattern, wood grain, cloth pattern, or satin pattern of the processed leather Because the pattern is an uneven pattern, it is safe without sliding the finger that touches the back side of the table mat, and it is not noticeable even if excessive scratches occur on this back side, and the fingerprint of the finger Adhesion and hand mark adhesion are inconspicuous, so that decorativeness on the back side is maintained together with decoration by painting on the front side.
