Description

  The present invention relates to a floor mat provided in a vehicle and a laying method thereof.

  In general, a floor mat is laid in the vehicle cabinet to prevent the floor from being soiled.

  There are various types of floor mats. For example, a tray-like floor mat with a raised peripheral edge is known.

  However, since the conventional tray-like floor mat is formed for each model, it has poor versatility.

  On the other hand, at the left and right edge portions of the two mat bodies, one or two or more kerfs are provided in the front-rear direction, an engagement means is provided at one end, and the engagement means is provided at the other end. There has been proposed an automobile mat (for example, Patent Document 1) provided with mating engagement means.

  However, in the above-mentioned automobile mat, the width of the two mat bodies can be adjusted by cutting the edge portion along the cut groove, but the dimensions of the flat portions of the mat bodies cannot be changed, and the versatility is improved. Inferior to that.

  By the way, in the case of this type of tray-like floor mat, there is a problem that the rising portion of the peripheral portion is easily deformed, and in consideration of such a problem, the flat portion and at least a part of the peripheral portion of the flat portion are included. Is a floor mat having a rising portion formed by rising from the flat portion, and is provided with a reinforcing projection extending from the flat portion to the rising portion on the laying surface side of the floor mat, and is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. A thing (for example, patent document 2) is proposed.

  In the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, deformation of the rising part can be suppressed by the reinforcing protrusion, but when the rising part of the peripheral part is stepped on, the rising part falls and the peripheral part is deformed so that the peripheral part falls due to repetition or aging. However, if the peripheral edge falls down in this way, there arises a problem that water, dust, and gravel accumulated inside contaminate the floor.

  Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the floor mat 1 is formed by a flat portion 2 laid on a floor 11 of a vehicle such as an automobile, and a peripheral portion of the flat portion 2 rising so as to conform to the shape of the floor 11. A raised portion 3, an upper edge portion 4 formed substantially horizontally outward from the upper end of the raised portion 3, and a longitudinally extending portion 5 formed so as to face downward outside the upper edge portion 4. The lower end 5T, which is the tip of the longitudinally extending portion 5, is formed to extend to the vicinity of the flat portion 2. In this example, the lower end 5T is substantially the same as the lower surface of the flat portion 2 adjacent to the rising portion 3. It extends to the same position. Further, the rising portion 3 is formed on the peripheral portion of the flat portion 2 without forming a thin portion.

  In addition, since the said flat part 2 is used in a substantially horizontal state, the outer surface 5G of the said vertical extension part 5 becomes substantially vertical in the use state. Further, a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 8 are provided on the upper surface of the flat portion 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the flat portion 2 includes a rectangular portion 2A having a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction, and a pair of protruding portions protruding at left and right sides at one side edge of the front and rear of the rectangular portion 2A. 2B and 2B are integrally formed, and the rising portion 3, the upper edge portion 4 and the longitudinally extending portion 5 are provided on the entire circumference of the flat portion 2.

  Continuously extending from the left and right edges of the flat portion 2 and the other edge in the front-rear direction are provided with a substantially flat lateral extension portion 21 by integral molding, and the left and right lateral extension portions 21 and 21 are substantially planar. It is L-shaped. Further, the lower surface of the flat portion 2 and the laterally extending portion 21 are located on substantially the same plane.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the laterally extending portion 21 is connected to the lower end 5T of the longitudinally extending portion 5 by a bent portion 22, and a groove 23 serving as a separating recess is formed on the upper surface of the bent portion 22. Then, the groove 23 is formed in substantially the entire length of the bent portion 22. Further, a ridge 24 higher than the central portion 21S of the lateral extension 21 is formed around the upper surface of the lateral extension 21. Compared with the central portion 21S, the upper surface of the ridge 24 is used as a reference. Thus, the groove 23 is formed deep.

  The vertical extension 5 is formed downward from the outer edge of the upper edge 4, and the height of the vertical extension 5 is 3 from the upper surface of the flat part 2 to the upper end of the rising part 3. It is preferable that the lower end 5T of the longitudinally extending portion 5 is equal to or lower than the upper surface position of the flat portion 2. That is, if the height is two-thirds or more, even if the rising portion 3 falls slightly, the lower end 5T comes into contact with the floor 11 and can be prevented from falling. Further, the width of the upper edge portion 4 is not more than one half of the height of the rising portion.

  The rising portion 3 is inclined with respect to the flat portion 2 so that the upper portion is on the outer side, and the vertical extension portion 5 is inclined with respect to the flat portion 2 so that the lower portion is on the outer side. The angle θt of the outer surface 5G of the portion 5 with respect to the flat portion 2 is an obtuse angle and is larger than the angle θe of the outer surface of the longitudinal extension portion 5 with respect to the lateral extension portion 21, and the angle θt is about 140 to 160 degrees, in this example It is about 150 degrees.

  An angle θe of the outer surface 5G of the longitudinal extension 5 with respect to the flat portion 2 is substantially vertical, and is 92 to 98 degrees, and in this example, approximately 95 degrees. When the groove 23 is cut by a cutter or the like, the angle θe slightly larger than 90 degrees is easy to cut the bent portion 22 from the groove 23 substantially vertically or continuously to the outer surface G. If it exceeds 98 degrees, it becomes difficult to become a vertical reference, and 98 degrees or less is preferable from the viewpoint of the deformation preventing effect when stepped on. As described above, since the lower surface of the flat portion 2 and the laterally extending portion 21 are substantially in the same plane, the angle θe is an angle formed by the outer surface 5G of the longitudinally extending portion 5 and the laterally extending portion 21. Are the same. In this example, the outer surface 5G is formed at the same angle as the bottom surface of the groove 23.

  The floor mat 1 includes a flat portion 2, a rising portion 3, an upper edge portion 4, a vertical extension portion 5, and a horizontal extension portion 21 made of the same material such as a resin material except for a connecting member described later. It is an integral molding.

  Examples of the constituent material of the floor mat 1 include thermoplastic resins (for example, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene, etc.), thermoplastic elastomers (for example, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefin-based materials). Thermoplastic elastomer, polyvinyl chloride elastomer, etc.), thermosetting resin (eg, phenol resin, polyurethane, unsaturated polyester resin, etc.), or natural or synthetic rubber (eg, styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, Nitrile-butadiene rubber, etc.). Among these, it is preferable to be made of a thermoplastic elastomer that is lightweight and easy to recycle, and more preferably has elasticity. Further, the hardness (Shore A hardness) of the constituent material of the floor mat 1 is preferably about 50 to 90, and more preferably about 65 to 75.

  Next, an example of laying the floor mat 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the floor mat 1 is laid, the vertical extension portion 5 is formed outside the rising portion 3, so that the rising portion 3 is prevented from falling. In particular, since the laterally extending portions 21 and 21 are formed on the left and right sides of the floor mat 1, it is possible to effectively prevent the rising portion from collapsing at the peripheral portion provided with the left and right laterally extending portions 21 and 21. In particular, since the left and right rising portions 3 of the floor mat 1 are easy to step on when passengers get on and off, deformation of the rising portions 3 can be prevented. Further, since the flat portion 2 is in the position of the foot in the sitting posture, even if the lateral extension portion 21 that covers other portions is provided, the effect of preventing the floor mat 1 from being soiled is not impaired, and corresponds to the shape of the floor 11. By providing the lateral extension 21, the floor mat 1 fitted to the floor 11 is obtained.

  On the other hand, when using it for the floor 11 of the vehicle corresponding to the magnitude | size of the flat part 2, the horizontal extension part 21 is cut off from the groove | channel 23 using a cutter. In this case, since the outer surface 5G of the longitudinal extension 5 is disposed substantially perpendicular to the lateral extension 21, the separation work can be easily performed as a reference.

  In FIG. 5, after separating the lateral extension portion 21, the outer surface 5G of the vertical extension portion 5 is in contact with the outer surface of the side shell 12 of the vehicle, and the floor mat 1 is laid on the floor 11. An opening / closing door 13 is provided at the top. Further, when the cut portion of the groove 23 remains, the cut portion may be brought into contact with the side shell 12. The side shell 12 is an interior part of the vehicle and is provided so as to protrude from the floor 11.

  Thus, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 1, the flat portion 2 and the rising portion 3 formed by raising at least a part of the peripheral edge of the flat portion 2 from the flat portion 2 are provided. In the floor mat, a vertically extending portion 5 that extends downward is formed outside the rising portion 3, and a laterally extending portion 21 that extends outward is formed below the vertically extending portion 5. A groove 23 serving as a separation recess is formed between the portion 21 and the outer surface 5G of the longitudinal extension 5 is substantially perpendicular to the flat portion 2. Therefore, by combining the rising portion 3 and the longitudinal extension 5, The rising edge 3 of the peripheral edge of the floor mat is prevented from falling, so that water, dust, sand, etc., collected in the floor mat 1 can be prevented from flowing out to the outside. Since the size can be changed by separating, general purpose Increases nature. Moreover, since the outer surface 5G of the longitudinally extending portion 5 that is substantially perpendicular to the flat portion 2 can be separated from the groove 23, the separation operation is facilitated.

  Thus, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 2, the rising portion 3 is inclined so that the upper portion is on the outer side with respect to the flat portion 2, and the angle θt of the rising portion 3 with respect to the flat portion 2 is Since the obtuse angle is larger than the angle θe of the longitudinally extending portion 5 with respect to the flat portion 2, the occupant's feet move smoothly when riding and the rigidity of the peripheral portion of the floor mat is improved.

  As described above, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 4, in the floor mat laying method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, lateral extension along the groove 23 serving as a recess for separation is performed. After separating the part 21, the vertical extension part 5 is laid so as to be in contact with the side shell 12 which is an interior part of the vehicle, so that the rising part 3 can be prevented from falling down and the floor mat 1 can be made compact in the vehicle. Can be installed.

  Furthermore, as an effect of the embodiment, since the lower end 5T of the longitudinally extending portion 5 is close to or in contact with the floor 11 when the floor mat 1 is laid, the lower end 5T is moved to the floor 11 when a force for tilting the rising portion 3 is applied. It is possible to prevent the rising portion 3 from falling by contacting the above-described force against the above-mentioned force. Note that the portion in contact with the interior product may be a cut end obtained by cutting the groove 23.

  Further, since the vertical extension portion 5 is substantially perpendicular to the flat portion 2, the space efficiency of the floor mat 1 after cutting the horizontal extension portion 21 is improved and can be compactly mounted in the vehicle.

  Furthermore, since a ridge 24 that is higher than the central portion 21S of the lateral extension 21 is formed around the upper surface of the lateral extension 21, the water and debris in the central portion 21S are externally attached to the ridge 24. It becomes difficult to leak.

  FIGS. 6-7 shows Example 2 of this invention, attaches | subjects the same code | symbol to the same part as the said Example 1, and abbreviate | omits the detailed description.

  In this example, the depth of the groove 23 is partially changed, and a deep portion 23A of the groove 23 is formed in the groove 23 at a substantially constant interval, and the bent portion 22 is formed in the deep portion 23A. Thinly formed.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, since the groove 23 is visually recognized as a broken line, it is easy to align the position of the cutter or the like as a mark, and the deep portion 23A is thin, so that it is easy to cut off. It will be a thing.

  As described above, the present embodiment provides the same operations and effects as the above embodiment.
