Description

  The present invention relates to rug products such as mats, carpets, and rugs, and more particularly, to a rug product that is light, thin, and inexpensive, in which dirt is not noticeable.

  In recent years, there is an increasing demand for rental mats for renting mats in stores, offices, and homes. Such rental mats are periodically cleaned and reused, but dirt and stains adhering to the mat remain unwashed after washing, and the mat is often discarded due to this. This leads to a shortened life of the rental mat and puts pressure on the business profits of the rental mat industry.

  Therefore, there is a demand for a mat that is difficult to be stained and stained and that can be easily removed by washing. Moreover, even if dirt and a stain are attached, the mat which is camouflaged and is not conspicuous is desired.

  In order to make dirt and stains inconspicuous, it is conceivable to make the color of the mat darker. However, in such a case, there is a drawback that the entire mat becomes dark and the commercial value is lowered.

In addition, as an inexpensive mat, there is a mat with a low pile height. However, such a mat loses a three-dimensional effect as a whole, and is poor in appearance or has a low dust and dirt collecting effect. There's a problem. Furthermore, the collected dust and dirt enter the interior of the pile, and there is an aspect that it takes considerable time and energy cost when washing.

  On the other hand, when the rental mat is washed or transported, if the mat is heavy, the washing cost and the transportation cost increase, and the burden on the person's work increases. Therefore, it is desired to reduce the weight of the mat.

  The present invention is made under the circumstances as described above, and provides a lightweight, thin and inexpensive mat that can make dirt and stains inconspicuous, and has both a high-class feeling and an excellent dirt collecting effect. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above problems, one embodiment of the present invention is a base fabric, a first pile group extending from one surface of the base fabric, and one of the base fabrics sandwiched between the first pile groups. A filament group extending from the surface of the first monofilament group or a multifilament group having a color darker than that of the first pile group and adjacent to at least one side of the filament group Or a dust collecting area comprising a second pile group or a second monofilament group having a weight lower than that of the first pile group or filament group. Providing products.

  In the rug product according to one aspect of the present invention configured as described above, a void or a low-weight pile or monofilament is provided adjacent to the filament group and has a three-dimensional structure. Compared to flat rug products without voids, it can give customers a sense of quality and value.

  In addition, since the rug product according to one aspect of the present invention looks three-dimensional in this way, even if a pile group having a low height is used, it does not look so low in appearance, and there is no pile group. Or since it has the space | gap part on a low pile group, or a low weight pile or a monofilament is used, cost reduction is possible and the purchase cost of a rug product can be held down. Further, for the same reason, the weight of the entire rug product can be reduced, the cost of cleaning and transportation can be reduced, and the work burden on the person can be reduced. In addition, since it can be made thinner, it can contribute to the expansion of sales as a rug product that can be installed under the door.

  Furthermore, the rug product according to one embodiment of the present invention has a dust collection region including a gap adjacent to the filament group, so that dust and dirt scraped by the filament group can be found in the adjacent gap. Captured effectively. In particular, by arranging the filament groups in a row, it is possible to exert a very strong brushing effect, and it is possible to effectively scrape dust and dirt from the back of the shoe. Note that dust and dirt trapped in the gap can be easily removed by cleaning, and the cleaning process can be simplified.

  In the present invention, the dust collection region refers to a region that collects not only dust such as dust, earth, and sand but also various kinds of dirt.

  Furthermore, in the rug product according to one aspect of the present invention, the filament group has a darker color than the color of the black or pile group, and a dark shade is formed in the gap. That is, the color tone is dark in the filament group and the vicinity thereof, and the contrast effect is exhibited in other areas, so that the entire rug is visually recognized as relatively bright. For this reason, a relatively dark color can be used for the pile group while maintaining the same level of brightness as a flat rug product as a whole, so that dirt and stains can be camouflaged. As a result, it is possible to extend the life of the rug product.

  In general, rug products, especially rental mats, are discarded after being washed several times. One of the causes of disposal is a stain or dirt, such as coffee, tea, oil, or dirt, which adheres to the mat fabric. This is because once these stains and dirt adhere to the mat, it is difficult to wash them off by washing. In this respect, the ability to camouflage dirt and stains is effective in extending the life of rug products.

  By printing a pattern on the rug, it is possible to further enhance the camouflage effect as a synergistic effect. Furthermore, the above-described contrast effect makes it possible to print with a particularly high concentration of dye, thereby enhancing the light fastness.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a lightweight, thin and inexpensive mat that can make dirt and stains inconspicuous and has both a high-class feeling and an excellent dirt collecting effect.

  Hereinafter, mats in which pile groups, monofilament groups, and the like are arranged in rows according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mat shown in FIG. 1 is configured by providing a pile row 2 and a black monofilament row 3 on the upper surface of the base fabric 1 with a gap 4 therebetween, and a rubber layer 5 attached to the back surface of the base fabric 1. Has been. That is, in the mat shown in FIG. 1, gaps 4 as dust collection regions are provided on both sides of the monofilament row 3.

  In such a mat, a brushing effect is exerted by the monofilament array 3, and as a result, dust and dirt are effectively scraped off from the back of the shoe and collected in the gaps 4 on both sides. In the figure, reference numeral 6 indicates dust and dirt.

  As described above, the mat according to the present embodiment has a three-dimensional structure in which the gaps 4 are provided on both sides of the monofilament row 3, so that it looks three-dimensional, and even if a low pile is used, it has a high-class feeling. Can be obtained.

Further, the dust and dirt 5 collected in the gap 4 can be easily removed by washing.
Further, the black monofilament array 3 and the shade formed by the gaps 4 exert a contrast effect on the relatively dark pile array 2 and camouflage dirt and stain. As a result, it is possible to extend the life of the rug product.

Embodiment 2
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the mat shown in FIG. 1 except that a gap 4 as a dust collection region is provided on one side of the monofilament array 3. It has the same configuration as.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a mat according to still another embodiment of the present invention. On one side of the monofilament row 3, a pile row or a monofilament row 7 having a low height is provided, and a dust collecting unit is provided thereon. A space 8 is provided as a region.

  The mat according to the present embodiment also exhibits an excellent stereoscopic effect, a dirt camouflage effect, and a dirt collecting effect, similarly to the mat shown in FIG.

Embodiment 4
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a mat according to still another embodiment of the present invention. On one side of the monofilament row 3, a thin pile row or monofilament row 9 having the same height but low weight is provided. It has been. In this mat, the pile row or monofilament row 9 has a function as a dust collecting region. The pile row or monofilament row 9 is thin and spaced, and dust is collected at the gap.

  The mat according to the present embodiment also exhibits an excellent stereoscopic effect, a dirt camouflage effect, and a dirt collecting effect, similarly to the mat shown in FIG. Moreover, since the thin pile row | line | column or monofilament row | line 9 of low weight is used, there exists an advantage that a mat can be reduced in weight.

  As described above, various examples of the arrangement of the monofilament array and the gaps have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and various combinations may be used. For example, a black or dark-colored multifilament array may be provided instead of a black or dark-colored monofilament array, and a low pile pile or monofilament array is provided on both sides of the monofilament array. It may be provided. Or you may provide the space | gap part which a base fabric exposes to one side of a monofilament row | line | column, and the pile row | line | column or monofilament row | line | column with a low height on the other side.

  Moreover, the number of rows of pile rows, black or dark monofilament rows or multifilament rows, voids, low weight pile rows or monofilament rows is not particularly limited, and a combination of any number of rows can be used.

  The base fabric used for the mat according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used regardless of whether it is a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric, and its material is nylon, polyester, polypropylene, cotton, acrylic, glass, or a combination thereof. Anything can be used. The surface of the base fabric 1 exposed in the gap 4 may feel as if it was washed. In this case, the base fabric 1 is made thin or porous, and the rubber layer 5 on the back surface is used as the base fabric. Such a phenomenon can be prevented by penetrating the surface.

  As the fibers constituting the pile row 2 and the monofilament 3, for example, a multifilament yarn of 0.1-100 dpf, particularly 1-50 dpf, and a monofilament of 100-5000 dpf, particularly 100-2000 dpf can be preferably used. However, it is not limited to these.

  The material of the fiber can be any material such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene, cotton, acrylic, rayon, or a combination thereof, regardless of natural fiber or synthetic fiber. It can be applied not only to the original yarn, but also to white yarn, various dyed yarns, or a combination thereof.
