  By the way, since the floor carpet for vehicles has a large area, when mounting the floor carpet for vehicles on a vehicle, it cannot pass through the door opening part of a vehicle in the state which expanded the floor carpet for vehicles. Therefore, the floor carpet for vehicles was folded by bending the easy-to-bend part where the insulator is not attached, and the door opening was passed through.

However, according to the conventional vehicle floor carpet in which the insulator is integrally provided on the back surface of the skin, the insulator is not provided on the entire back surface of the skin. For this reason, noise outside the vehicle propagates through the portion where the insulator is not provided, and the quietness inside the vehicle is impaired.
On the other hand, in order to achieve quietness in the vehicle, it is conceivable to provide an insulator on the entire back surface of the skin. There was a risk that the mounting work would be complicated.

  Therefore, the present invention is an invention that has been devised in view of the above-described background, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle floor carpet capable of achieving both improvement in quietness and ease of mounting work.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a vehicle floor carpet according to the present invention is a vehicle floor carpet that covers a vehicle floor and has an insulator integrally provided on the entire back surface of the skin, and the insulator includes a bead. Is formed.

According to the present invention, since the noise propagating into the vehicle is surely attenuated by the insulator provided on the entire back surface of the skin, the quietness in the vehicle can be improved as compared with the conventional vehicle floor carpet.
In addition, according to the present invention, the thickness of the portion where the bead of the insulator is formed is relatively thin and easy to bend. Therefore, the floor carpet for vehicles can be easily folded by bending along a bead, and the mounting work in a vehicle can be made easy.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the said bead is formed so that it may become under a sheet | seat, when the said floor carpet for vehicles is stuck on the said floor.

  According to the configuration described above, since the skin wrinkles generated when the vehicle floor carpet is folded along the bead is under the seat which is difficult to visually recognize, the possibility of impairing the design (aesthetics) of the floor can be avoided.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicle floor carpet capable of achieving both improvement in quietness and ease of mounting work.

It is the perspective view which looked at the floor carpet for vehicles concerning an embodiment from the left front upper part. FIG. 2 is an AA end view of FIG. 1. It is an end view of the floor carpet for vehicles concerning a modification.

  Next, a vehicle floor carpet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. Further, in the description of the vehicle floor carpet of the embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the technically same elements.

As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle floor carpet 1 is a sheet-like member formed in a size substantially equal to a floor panel 7 (see FIG. 2) that forms a floor of a vehicle (not shown). 7 is affixed to cover the floor panel 7.
Moreover, the floor carpet 1 for vehicles of embodiment is press-processed, heating the thing which stuck the sheet-like insulator 3 on the back surface (lower surface) of the sheet-like skin 2 at the time of original fabric, and the skin 2 and the insulator 3 is one. At the time of this pressing, the vehicle floor carpet 1 is formed into a predetermined shape along the floor panel 7.

The skin 2 is a carpet member such as a tuft carpet or a needle punch carpet, for example, and forms the upper layer of the vehicle floor carpet 1 (see FIG. 2). And the floor carpet 1 for vehicles is affixed on the floor panel 7, and the skin 2 decorates the floor surface in a vehicle interior, and is improving the design property in a vehicle.
Further, a seat hole 4 is formed in the vicinity of the center portion in the front-rear direction of the skin 2 to allow the leg portion of the front seat 6 (see FIG. 2) fixed to the floor panel 7 to pass through. The seat hole 4 includes a front hole 4a through which the front leg portion of the front seat 6 passes and a rear hole 4b through which the rear leg portion of the front seat 6 passes.

The insulator 3 is a sound-absorbing material made of a thermoplastic resin that can be deformed by heating during press working, such as polyester or polyethylene.
The insulator 3 forms the lower layer of the vehicle floor carpet 1 (see FIG. 2). The vehicle floor carpet 1 is affixed to the floor panel 7 so that the insulator 3 interposed between the floor panel 7 and the skin 2 absorbs noise outside the vehicle and attenuates noise propagating into the vehicle. ing.
Further, the insulator 3 covers the entire back surface of the skin 2 except for the sheet hole 4. Therefore, noise outside the vehicle does not propagate through the portion where the insulator 3 is not provided, and the noise propagated into the vehicle can be reliably attenuated.

  A bead 5 that is continuous in the left-right direction is formed on the lower surface of the vehicle floor carpet 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bead 5 is a substantially inverted V-shaped recess formed on the back surface of the vehicle floor carpet 1, that is, on the lower surface of the insulator 3, and formed at the time of pressing. Is. Therefore, the part in which the bead 5 of the insulator 3 is formed is thinner than the other part.
In addition, although the bead 5 in the embodiment is formed to have a substantially inverted V shape, the present invention is not limited to this, and if a relatively thin portion can be formed in the insulator 3, The size, shape, etc. are not particularly limited.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bead 5 is formed between the front hole 4 a and the rear hole 4 b in the front-rear direction of the vehicle floor carpet 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the vehicle floor carpet 1 is attached to the floor panel 7, the bead 5 is arranged below the front seat 6.

  As described above, according to the vehicle floor carpet 1 according to the embodiment, the noise propagated into the vehicle can be surely attenuated by the insulator 3 provided on the entire back surface of the skin 2. Compared with this, the quietness in the vehicle can be improved.

Moreover, according to the floor carpet 1 for vehicles which concerns on embodiment, the part in which the bead 5 of the insulator 3 was formed becomes comparatively thin, and it is easy to bend | fold compared with another part.
Then, by folding the vehicle floor carpet 1 along the bead 5, the vehicle floor carpet 1 can be easily folded and can be easily carried into the vehicle compartment from the door opening of the vehicle. Simplification can be achieved.

In addition, when the vehicle floor carpet is bent, wrinkles are generated in the skin along the folding line. Similarly, the vehicle floor carpet 1 according to the embodiment also has a wrinkle extending in the left-right direction along the bead 5. It is easy to occur.
However, according to the vehicle floor carpet 1 of the embodiment, even if wrinkles occur in the skin 2, the position of the wrinkles is below the front seat 6 that is difficult for the occupant to visually recognize. Therefore, even if the vehicle floor carpet 1 is bent, it is possible to avoid impairing the design in the vehicle.

As mentioned above, although the floor carpet 1 for vehicles which concerns on embodiment was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to the example demonstrated by embodiment.
The bead 5 of the embodiment is formed on the lower surface of the insulator 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle floor carpet 1 may have a bead 5 a formed on the upper surface of the insulator 3.

Moreover, although the bead 5 of embodiment was one with respect to the floor carpet 1 for vehicles, this invention is not limited to this, For example, it is good also considering the bead 5 as multiple.
According to this, although the number of times of bending increases when bent along the bead 5, the amount of bending with respect to one bead 5 decreases, so that the burden on the insulator 3 when bent is reduced. it can.
Furthermore, although the bead 5 is continuing toward the left-right direction, this invention is not limited to this, You may form intermittently toward the left-right direction.
