Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a bath mat, and more particularly to a bath mat to be used in a bathroom washroom.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a general bath mat, there is one disclosed in Design Registration No. 945793. In this product, a rectangular mat main body (1) made of foam resin and a plurality of parallel leg bars (2) provided on the back surface of the mat are provided.By providing the leg bars (2), the mat main body (1) Since 1) is reinforced, it is possible to prevent the main body of the mat (1) from being damaged by an external impact. In addition, the mat main body (1) is lifted from the washing scene by the height of the leg rail (2), so the water flowing out to the washing place is drained from between the leg rail (2) and the leg rail (2). As it flows to the mouth, even if the mat main body (1) is laid, the drainage of the washing area is good.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional bath mat as described above, when the mat main body (1) is laid in the washing room and the direction of water flowing to the drainage port of the bathroom and the longitudinal direction of the leg bars (2) match, As described above, the water flowing out to the washing place does not pose a problem because it flows smoothly between the leg bars (2) and the leg bars (2) to the drain port, but depending on the location of the drain port, In some cases, the direction in which water flows to the drain of the bath room does not match the longitudinal direction of the leg bars (2). In this case, the water that has flowed out to the washroom will be blocked by the leg rails (2), and the drainage in the washroom will become worse.

The invention according to claim 1 is a bath mat which is provided with a plurality of leg rails which are parallel to each other on the back surface of a foam resin mat main body, and which is used in a bathroom washroom. An object of the present invention is to provide a bath mat in which the drainage of the mat is improved regardless of the direction of the arrangement of the mat or the position of the drainage port of the washing room when the mat is laid.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is such that "a drainage groove is formed on each back surface of each leg rail that is open to both side surfaces parallel to the longitudinal direction of the leg rail. It's a feature. If the direction of water flowing to the drain port and the longitudinal direction of the leg rail are the same, as in the conventional case, water should flow to the drain port from between the adjacent leg rails. Becomes

When the direction of water flowing to the drainage port does not match the longitudinal direction of the leg rail, the water is temporarily blocked by the side surface parallel to the longitudinal direction of the leg rail. Since the drainage groove is formed on the back surface of the leg rail so as to open to both side surfaces of the leg rail, the water flows through the drainage groove to the drainage outlet in sequence. Becomes

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, "a plurality of the drainage grooves are formed in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the leg rail, and the adjacent leg rails are adjacent to each other. The drainage grooves formed in each of the above are arranged so as to be continuous with each other in a straight line ”. With this, the length of the drainage groove can be set to be the shortest. When the leg rails are provided on the mat main body, the drainage grooves formed on the adjacent leg rails are configured to be continuous in a straight line, so that they are formed on the leg rails farthest from the drain port. Further, the water continuously flows from the drainage groove to the drainage groove formed on the leg rail located closest to the drainage port.

Further, all of the plurality of leg rails can be molded into a common shape in which the drainage groove is provided at the same position. The invention according to claim 3 is the structure of the invention according to claim 1 or 2, wherein "a plurality of convex portions are mutually predetermined in the non-formation area of the drainage groove on the back surface of the leg rail. It is characterized in that it was formed with a gap ".

By providing a plurality of convex portions on the back surface of the leg rail, the water film formed between the back surface of the leg rail and the washing scene is divided. Further, the mat main body is lifted from the washing scene by a height obtained by adding the wall thickness of the convex portion to the height of the leg rail. Since the convex portions are formed at a predetermined distance from each other, water flows not only between the drainage grooves but also between the convex portions and the convex portions.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, “the convex portion is a rib extending over the entire width of each leg rail, and the rib is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the leg rail. In the case of “provided”, the water film formed between the leg rail and the washing scene is surely divided by the convex portion. Further, the forming directions of the convex portion and the drainage groove are the same. Further, since the legs are arranged over the entire width of each leg, it is difficult for gas to accumulate in the ribs during foam molding.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is the washing water flowing out to the washing place regardless of the direction of the bath mat laid in the washing scene and the position of the drain outlet in the bathroom. Water and hot water such as these will flow smoothly to the drain outlet without being blocked by the leg rails, so that the drainage of the washing area will be improved. In other words, since the dirty water after washing does not collect in the washing area, you can comfortably take a bath.

According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, drainage from the drainage groove can be smoothly performed, and smoother drainage can be expected. According to the invention of claim 3, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1 or 2, the water film formed between the leg rail and the washing scene is divided by the convex portion. The convex portion will function as a slip stopper for the bath mat. Further, the water collected in the washing scene flows not only from the drainage groove but also between the convex portions and the convex portions, so that the drainage in the washing scene becomes smoother. Furthermore, since the legs can be shared, the productivity of the legs is improved.

According to the invention of claim 4, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 3, a more reliable anti-slip effect can be obtained, and the flow of water to the drain port is smoother. Become . In addition, gas accumulation is unlikely to occur, resulting in a clean finish.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The bath mat according to the embodiment of the present invention is made by foaming ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) at a predetermined foaming rate, and has a substantially rectangular mat main body (600 mm long, 850 mm wide, 18 mm thick). ) And eight leg bars (2) formed slightly shorter than the long sides of the mat main body (1), and the leg bars (2) are attached to the back surface of the mat main body (1) with an adhesive. Etc. are integrally joined with each other.

FIG. 1 shows a bottom view of the bath mat, and FIG. 2 shows a shape of the bath mat viewed from a side surface on a short side thereof. The corner portion of the mat main body (1) is formed in an arc shape with a radius of 50 to 100 mm. The height of the leg bars (2) is 10 mm, and the leg bars (2) are arranged at regular intervals so as to be positioned parallel to the long side of the mat main body (1).

At a position symmetrical with respect to the center of each leg (2), as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of semicircular drainage grooves (20) having a depth of 5 mm are formed in the longitudinal direction of the leg (2). It is formed so as to open on both side surfaces (22) parallel to the direction. As a result, the drainage grooves (20) formed on the leg bars (2) are configured to continue in a straight line as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a plurality of protrusions (21) having an oval cross section are slightly raised on the back surface of the leg bar (2) other than the area where the drainage groove (20) is formed. The major axis length is set to be slightly shorter than the length between the both side surfaces (22) of the leg bars (2), and the major axes are parallel to each other and in the longitudinal direction of the leg bars (2). They are arranged at regular intervals so that they are positioned diagonally.

When the bath mat of this embodiment can be installed so that the drainage direction to the drainage port (3a) formed in the bathroom washroom and the longitudinal direction of the leg rail (2) are aligned with each other, As shown by the solid arrow in Fig. 1, the washing water and hot water that has flowed to the washroom pass between the leg bars (2) and the drain port (3a ). If it cannot be installed so that the drainage direction to the drainage port (3b) and the longitudinal direction of the leg bars (2) match, it will be washed into the washing area as indicated by the double-dashed line arrow in the figure. The water or hot water will flow to the drain port (3b) through the drainage groove (20) and between the convex portions (21).

In this embodiment, the convex portion (21) is arranged obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the leg rail (2). However, as shown in FIGS. The configuration may be provided perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of (2). In this case, since the convex portion (21) is formed over the entire width direction of the leg rail (2), gas is not likely to be generated in the convex portion (21) during foam molding, and the leg rail is not formed. (2) can be beautifully finished.

Further, the mat main body (1) and the leg bars (2) may be joined by welding, or may be integrally molded. Further, the shape of the drainage groove (20) is not limited to the semicircular shape as long as it is open to the both side convex portions (21) of the leg rail (2).
