  Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle floor mat and a floor mat auxiliary member used for the vehicle floor mat according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, an embodiment of a vehicle floor mat will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  1 and 2, the illustrated vehicle floor mat 2 includes a substantially rectangular mat body 4 and is formed in a shape corresponding to the floor shape of the driver's seat. Correspondingly, a cutout 8 is provided. Such a mat body 4 is made of, for example, an appropriate material such as flexible rubber, synthetic resin, woven fabric using natural fibers or synthetic fibers, or a combination of these materials.

  On this floor mat 2, a footrest projection 12 is provided on the right front part of the mat body 4 corresponding to the accelerator pedal 10 on the vehicle body side. The footrest projection 12 is arranged on the driver's seat side of the accelerator pedal 10, and a part of the right foot of the driver sitting in the driver's seat (that is, the foot on which the accelerator pedal 10 is depressed) is placed ( See FIG. 2). Such a footrest projection 12 can be formed of synthetic resin, wood, rubber or the like, and is firmly fixed to the mat body 4 by an adhesive, a double-sided tape, a fixing screw, a combination of a bolt and a nut, or the like. To be done.

  The footrest projection 12 is formed, for example, so that the cross-section has a substantially isosceles triangular shape and a central portion in the width direction projects. The footrest projection 12 is formed, for example, to have a length L of 100 to 150 mm, a width W of 30 to 50 mm, and a height H of 30 to 50 mm. It is possible to step on the accelerator pedal 10 without a burden with a part of the right foot resting on the portion 12 (and, since the burden on the step is small, the state where the accelerator pedal 10 is stepped on can be maintained without a burden). It is possible to reduce the fatigue of the legs during time driving.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the footrest projection 12 is, for example, 20 to 90 degrees (20 degrees ≦ α) toward the accelerator pedal 10 side with reference to the lateral direction of the driver's floor (reference line Q extending in the lateral direction). The inclination angle α is preferably, for example, 40 to 80 degrees (40 degrees ≦ α ≦ 80 degrees). By setting the inclination angle α of the footrest projection 12 in such an angle range, the accelerator pedal 10 can be easily depressed, and by moving the foot F along the footrest projection 12, the accelerator pedal 10 can be moved. The stepping amount of 10 can be adjusted. Further, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the brake pedal 14 without erroneously pressing the brake pedal 14 when the accelerator pedal 10 is pressed.

  With such a configuration, when the vehicle is stopped or decelerated, the brake pedal 14 is stepped off by removing it from the footrest projection 12, and thus when the brake pedal 14 is operated, the accelerator pedal 10 is accidentally pressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the accelerator pedal 10.

  This vehicle floor mat 2 is laid so as to cover a driver's seat floor (floor carpet installed on this driver's seat floor) (not shown) on the driver's seat side of the vehicle body. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front end of the mat body 4 is laid so as to be inserted, for example, below the accelerator pedal 10 and the brake pedal 14, and the footrest projection 12 is provided on the driver side of the accelerator pedal 10. Located in. That is, the footrest projection 12 is located in the region between the accelerator pedal 10 and the driver's seat (not shown), but is not located between the brake pedal 14 and the driver's seat.

  When using the floor mat 2 for a vehicle, as shown in FIG. 2, the driver sits in the driver's seat and places a part of his right foot (that is, the shoe F worn on his right foot) on the footrest projection 12. The accelerator pedal 10 is depressed at the tip of the foot (that is, the tip of the shoe worn on the right foot). When operating the accelerator pedal, the right foot is placed on the footrest projection 12 and the accelerator pedal 10 is depressed, so that the load on the foot is light and the fatigue of the foot is reduced even during long-time driving. You can

  Further, when the vehicle is decelerated or stopped in this driving state, the right foot is moved toward the accelerator pedal 14 side around the heel of the right foot (that is, the shoe F worn on the right foot) and is removed from the footrest projection 12 to release the accelerator. Since the pedal 10 is operated by depressing the pedal, the brake can be operated safely by removing the footrest projection 12 in this manner, and the pedal can be operated strongly and deeply, which is suitable for sudden braking operation.
