Description

  The present invention relates to a water-absorbing mat used for absorbing water drops placed on the floor of a dressing room in a kitchen or bathroom. Even if it is a thin water-absorbing body, it can maintain a stable shape, and the water-absorbing body can be quickly dried and the water-absorbing body can be easily attached or replaced. The present invention relates to a water absorbent mat formed by coating the water absorbent mat substrate with a water absorbent.

  Conventionally, a thick woven fabric or the like has been used for a water absorbing mat placed in a dressing room in a kitchen or bathroom in order to obtain a high water absorbing power. Due to its structure, it was thick and hard, so washing with a washing machine was impossible. Thick towels are also commercially available for mats for ease of washing and for economic reasons, but when used as kitchen foot mats, they are not thick enough to be kicked and bent during work. It was difficult to keep constant. On the other hand, a flocking pallet or cloth pallet based on a rubber material or the like is commercially available as a kitchen foot mat, but its water absorption is low and cleaning is troublesome.

The invention described in Japanese Patent No. 3481932 has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is effective. However, the “base that people can ride on with elasticity” used here has a wide range of materials, and recycled rubber from old tires assumed as an example is heavy and difficult to use depending on the situation Therefore, in the present invention, the “base having elasticity and on which a person can ride” is limited to the “flexible foamed elastic body” and further improved.

In the invention described in Japanese Patent No. 3481932, the basic character of the water-absorbing mat substrate is “having ventilation means”, but it is vague. Therefore, in the present invention, the ventilation means is “floating the board from the floor”. And a vent hole that connects the upper surface and the lower surface is provided. "
Further, in the invention described in Japanese Patent No. 3481932, the method of hooking the water absorbent on the “base on which a person can ride on with elasticity” is described as “providing protrusions on the inner wall of the hole, Although it can be latched with a "narrow width", there are various latching methods. Therefore, in the present invention, a notch similar to a hole, a presser, and a spike-like projection are added.

In the device described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-65436, a foamed synthetic plate having a closed cell structure is encased in an openable and closable manner with a water absorbent fabric. In the present invention, “the plate is suspended from the floor by disposing a protrusion on the lower surface of the plate”, and “the surface of the base is detachably covered and fixed by the water absorbent”. Different. Further, the present invention provides a ventilation means by providing "a ventilation hole that connects the upper surface and the lower surface", but in the above device, the ventilation means is provided between the floor surface and the mat, such as a board floating from the floor. Since it does not have a hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface, there is a difference in drying speed between the present invention and the device described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-65436.

Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-147361 In Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-147361, “a vent hole communicating from the dent to the outer periphery of the plate material is formed on the bank edge of the plate material”. Therefore, there is a difference in the drying speed of the water absorbent between the present invention and the device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-147361.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-74884 Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-74884 describes "undercushion for carpets made by laminating hemp felt on an elastic synthetic resin cushion material having a large number of ventilation holes." Although the idea is shown, by levitation from the floor as in the present invention, air permeability is increased and drying of the wet water absorbing body is accelerated, or a virtual small area shape that can be formed on the table or the table. It is possible to easily replace the water absorbent by providing a latching means for latching the end of the water absorbent at the end, and even if the water absorbent is thin, the water absorbent is deformed with use. The purpose of the present invention is different from that of the present invention, which can prevent disturbance, and the structure, action, and effect are different.

  Embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall shape of the first embodiment. By disposing the protrusions 2 on the lower surface of the flexible foamed elastic plate 1, the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 is suspended from the floor, and the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 is suspended from the floor. A board on which a person can ride, using the ventilation hole 3 that connects the upper surface 11 (1) and the lower surface 12 (1) of the plate 1 as a ventilation means. A hooking means 5 for hooking the end 41 of the water absorber is provided at the end of the possible virtual small area shape to hook the end 41 of the water absorber 4, and the water absorber 4 is attached to and detached from the table. By covering and fixing as possible, even if the coated water absorbent 4 is thin, the water absorbent 4 is deformed as a person sits on the top and works or wipes his feet. This is a water-absorbing mat substrate that can be prevented from being disturbed.

  FIG. 2A is a partially enlarged view including a section on the line XX in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment, and the hooking means 5 is a locking hole 51 or a locking notch 52. It is an example. By arranging the protrusions 2 on the flexible foamed elastic plate 1, the plate 1 is lifted from the floor so that moisture is not trapped between the plate 1 and the floor. Further, the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 of the plate 1 are connected to pass through the vent hole 3 so as to provide air permeability and to speed up drying of the water absorbent body 4. Since the material of the plate 1 is limited to the flexible foamed elastic body, features such as light weight and soft touch are exhibited, and the coldness is not felt even when it is cold. It is lightweight and easy to handle, can be molded into various shapes, and can be manufactured at low cost. It is easy to obtain an appropriate elasticity and can be easily hooked by pushing the water absorbent 4 into the locking hole 51 or the locking notch 52.

  FIG. B in FIG. 2 is a perspective view including a partial cross section of the second embodiment, and the latching means 5 is provided for locking in parallel with the side end portion of the plate 1 of the flexible foam elastic body. This is an example of the groove-like body 53. The groove-like body 53 can be formed in various ways other than forming a groove by cutting out the side end portion of the flexible foam elastic body plate 1. In this figure, as shown in FIG. A part of the side end is cut out, and a groove-forming plate 531 is pasted on the flat portion of the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 to substantially form the groove-like body 53. FIG. C is a cross-sectional view of a groove-shaped fixture formed in a U-shape. The notches for locking in the present invention include those in which the groove-like attachment 532 is attached to the side surface of the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 so that the water absorbing body can be hooked.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view including a partial cross section of the third embodiment. By arranging a large number of protrusions 2 on each of the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 of the flexible foamed elastic plate 1, the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 is floated in a hollow state between the plate 1 and the floor. In addition, the upper surface 11 of the plate 1 is placed at a position where the water absorbing body 4 is floated from the plate 1 and the projections 2 between the projections 2 of the plate 1 are not disposed. By arranging a large number of vent holes 3 that connect the lower surface 12 and the bottom surface 12, the air permeability around the water absorbent body 4 is improved and the drying of the water absorbent body 4 is accelerated.

  Moreover, it is also possible to make the shape of an upper surface and a lower surface the same, In that case, it becomes unnecessary to care about the front and back of a base when attaching a water absorption body, and the handling at the time of attachment becomes easy. Further, since the material is a flexible foamed elastic body, the durability is inferior to that of a material that does not include bubbles, and only a part of the plate 1 is deteriorated in the work standing at the same place. Since the back and front can be interchanged, it is possible to extend the life nearly twice by using them alternately. Since the material is a flexible foamed elastic body, every time someone moves on the foot, the part that is placed indents and the surrounding air is pushed out, and the surrounding air is restored. It accelerates the air flow and accelerates the drying of the water absorbent body 4.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view including a partial cross section of the fourth embodiment, and shows an example in which a mountain-shaped body 6 is formed by raising a part of the upper surface 11 of the flexible foamed elastic plate 1 in the second embodiment. is there. Since the mountain-like body 6 is formed, the sole, particularly the arch, is stimulated every time the foot is moved when working on the mountain, and blood circulation is promoted. Since the material of the plate 1 is a flexible foamed elastic body, even if it is used for a relatively long period of time with a soft and comfortable touch, there will be no health problems. In manufacturing, the manufacturing process, cost, and the like do not appear to be significantly different from those of the second embodiment, and a product can be provided at a relatively low price.

  FIG. 5A in FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the fifth embodiment, which is an example in which barbed protrusions are used as the hooking means. The basic structure of the water-absorbing mat substrate is the same as that described in the first to third embodiments. However, the base has a size corresponding to the water-absorbing body or an end of a virtual small area that can be formed on the base. The barbed hooking means 54 having barbed protrusions 541 as the hooking means is provided on the part. The effect is the same even if the thorn-shaped protrusion 541 is a hook-shaped protrusion, and the hook-shaped protrusion including a kind of velcro as a trade name also corresponds to this. Moreover, what attached the said bowl-shaped body to the water absorption body side, and was able to be latched to the board 1 of a foaming elastic body shall be included.

  FIG. 5B in FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the thorn-shaped hooking means 54, and an elastic plate 542 is formed in a U-shape so that the foamed elastic plate 1 can be sandwiched between them. Is. The thorn-shaped protrusions 541 are formed at positions corresponding to the side surfaces or the lower surface of the state where the thorn-shaped hooking means 54 is bonded to the foamed elastic plate 1. The means of joining shall include all possible methods such as bonding, fitting, making cuts and inserting. The material includes all possible materials such as metal, synthetic resin, and hard fiber as long as the water absorbing body 4 can be hooked.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the sixth embodiment, which is an example of a holding tool 55 that holds and holds the end of the water absorbent body 4 as the hooking means 5. The presser 55 can have any shape as long as it can press and fix the water absorbent 4 to the foamed elastic plate 1. This figure shows the example which bent the front-end | tip of the U-shaped rod-shaped body 551 inside, and digged into the board 1 of the said foaming elastic body. Since the foamed elastic plate 1 has elasticity, the end of the water absorbing body 4 is pressed without using any other elastic means, and the water absorbing body 4 can be prevented from moving and deforming with use. A reinforcing material 552 such as a pipe made of a hard material can be disposed at a position where the rod-like body 551 of the foamed elastic plate 1 bites. In this case, durability can be improved.

  7A is a perspective view of the seventh embodiment, and FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of the pressing tool. In the present embodiment, a pressing plate 553 is used as the pressing member 55, and the pressing plate 553 is connected so that one side end portion is fitted to a joint portion 554 having a spring function so that the opposite side end portion can vibrate. Then, it is fixed to the foamed elastic plate 1 by the attachment portion 555. When the vibrating side end of the pressing plate 553 is raised upward, the lower hump-like projection 5532 provided at the end of the holding plate 553 fitted to the joint 554 is the upper hump-like projection. Using 5531 as a fulcrum, the first concave portion 5541 provided at the lower end of the joint portion 554 moves from the first concave portion 5541 to the second concave portion 5542 and is fixed by the spring force. When the water absorbing body 4 is placed on the foamed elastic plate 1 and the unconnected side end of the pressing plate 553 is lowered, the lower hump-like projection 5532 is moved from the second recess 5542 to the first. At the same time, the end of the water absorbent 4 is pressed against the foamed elastic plate 1 and fixed by the spring force.
