FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the pile region 2 is thermocompression bonded to the lower surface of the mat 1 using a hot press machine (not shown). As shown in FIG. 4 (a), a plurality of mats 1 and pile regions 2 are formed between the upper press plate 5a and the lower press plate 5b of the heat press so that the lower rubber sheet side faces upward. A sheet material 6 having a pile surface knitted in a hook shape or a ring shape is disposed with the sheet material 6 facing upward, and the sheet material 6 is disposed between the mat 1 and the sheet material 6 on the rubber sheet side of the mat 1. A hot melt sheet material 7 such as unvulcanized rubber is sandwiched as a connecting material for forming the pile region 2 by welding. Further, a heat resistant sheet material 8 is disposed between the upper press plate 5 a and the sheet material 6 and between the lower press plate 5 b and the mat 1.

  And after mounting said mat | matte 1 and sheet | seat material 6 grade | etc., On the lower press board 5b, as shown in FIG.4 (b), when it heats and pressurizes with the upper press board 5a and the lower press board 5b, When unvulcanized rubber is used as the heat-meltable sheet material 7, the rubber sheet surface of the mat 1 and the sheet material 6 are welded together by vulcanization / crosslinking for 5 minutes to 10 minutes, The pile region 2 thus formed can be formed on the rubber sheet side of the lower surface of the mat 1.

  The mat 1 shown in FIG. 5 in which the pile region 2 is formed by welding as described above is superior in strength in heat resistance and water resistance as compared with the sticking of the fixing piece 3 with an adhesive, and is also in use on the market. The pile region 2 can also be provided integrally with the doormat or the like by retrofitting.

  In the above embodiment, the pile region 2 and the fixed piece 3 are configured with the same width size, but the width size of the fixed piece 3 may be configured to be slightly wider. As a result, when the mat 1 and the fixed piece 3 are overlapped, the pile region 2 and the fixed piece 3 can be engaged with each other without any problem even if there is a slight deviation, and the periphery of the fixed piece 3 is the pile region 2. Since a pile-shaped step is formed between the pile region 2 and the fixed piece 3, the surface of the mat 1 where the pile region 2 is formed is loose when the mat 1 is placed on the floor surface 4. The ridges are less noticeable than when the pile region 2 and the fixed piece 3 have the same width size. However, since the fixed piece 3 is composed of a thin piece having a thickness of 0.1 cm to 0.2 cm as described above, the bulge caused by the pile region 2 and the fixed piece 3 is not noticeable anyway.

  In the above embodiment, the pile regions 2 are formed at the four corners of the lower surface of the mat 1. However, the pile regions 2 may be formed near the center of the four sides of the lower surface of the mat 1 or near the center of the lower surface of the mat 1. Moreover, the shape of the pile area | region 2 and the fixed piece 3 is not limited to the square mentioned above, Various shapes, such as circular, a polygon, and other star shapes, may be sufficient.

  The mat 1 with the fixing piece 3 of the present invention is not limited to the entrance mat as described above, and any mat can be used as long as the lower surface is formed of a synthetic resin sheet such as a rubber sheet or vinyl chloride. is there.
