Description

  The present invention provides a foot wipe provided with a frame having a hole and a support base having a back plate that defines the bottom of the hole, and a draining plate fitted in the hole and supported by the back plate. More particularly, the present invention relates to a foot wiping board in which the draining plate material contains diatomaceous earth and a through hole for ventilation is provided in the back plate portion.

  As a foot wiping mat for absorbing moisture adhering to a foot when taking a bath or the like, there is a cloth foot wiping mat such as a pile fabric.

  However, there is a limit to the moisture absorption / moisture release ability of cloth mats such as piles. Therefore, when the use is repeated, the amount of moisture absorbed by the cloth material exceeds its moisture releasing ability, and the moisture that has not been released accumulates on the foot wipe mat. Then, there is a problem that not only the function as a foot wipe is deteriorated but also mold is generated in the foot wipe mat.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems of cloth-made foot wiping mats, and an object thereof is to provide a foot wiping board with improved moisture absorption efficiency and moisture release efficiency.
[Means for solving problems and effects of device]
1. The foot wipe board of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a frame having a hole and a support base having a back plate part that defines the bottom of the hole, and is fitted into the hole and supported by the back plate part. The draining plate material is characterized in that the draining plate material contains diatomaceous earth and a through hole for ventilation is provided in the back plate portion.

Thereby, the water | moisture content absorbed by the said draining board material is discharge | released via the through-hole for ventilation | gas_flowing of the said back-plate part, and there exists an effect which the moisture absorption efficiency and the water | moisture-content discharge | release efficiency of the said foot wipe board improve. Further, since the draining plate material contains diatomaceous earth, the moisture absorption / moisture release efficiency, deodorization and air purification characteristics are improved as compared with a conventional foot-wiping mat such as a pile fabric. Further, even when the foot wiping board is not used, the draining plate material containing the diatomaceous earth decomposes moisture, deodorizes, purifies air, and decomposes chemical substances in a dressing room where the foot wiping board is installed. Has an effect. Moreover, the draining board | plate material containing the said diatomaceous earth has the effect which requires little care compared with the cloth foot-wiping mats, such as the conventional pile fabric.
2. Preferably, an elastic leg portion that forms a ventilation space between the back surface and the floor surface on which the foot wiping board is installed is provided on the back surface of the foot wiping board.

As a result, when a load is applied to the foot wiping board, the elastic leg portion contracts, and when the load is removed, the elastic leg portion expands, so that the ventilation through hole and the ventilation space of the back plate portion are expanded. Ventilation to the draining plate material that has passed through is promoted, and the moisture absorption efficiency of the draining plate material and the moisture release efficiency from the draining plate material are improved.
3. Preferably, a water-absorbing paint containing charcoal is applied to the surface of the draining plate. Moisture adhering to the user's feet is also absorbed and released by the water-absorbing paint containing charcoal, so that the moisture absorption and moisture releasing efficiency of the foot wipe board is further improved.
4). Preferably, the foot wipe board includes at least one of a weight scale and a body fat scale. Thereby, there exists an effect which can measure a body weight and a body fat, wiping a leg | foot.
5. Preferably, the draining plate is detachable from the support base. Thereby, there exists an effect which can replace | exchange easily the said board | substrate for draining which was damaged.
6). Preferably, each of the frame portion and the back plate portion is made of paulownia. Due to the excellent moisture absorption and moisture release capability of the light paulownia wood, the moisture absorption efficiency and moisture release efficiency of the foot wipe board are further improved.

A foot wiping board according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the foot wiping board 1 is roughly a substantially rectangular frame portion 2 having a hole 2c and a back plate portion 3 that defines the bottom surface of the hole 2c (the surface 3a defines the bottom surface of the hole 2c; see FIG. 4). ), A leg 6 provided on the back surface of the support 4, and a diatom board 5 as a draining plate supported by the back plate 3. In this embodiment, the frame portion 2 and the back plate portion 3 are separate bodies, but the frame 2 and the back plate portion 3 may be integrally formed to form the support base 4. Moreover, in this application, a diatom board means the board | plate material containing diatomaceous earth.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the frame portion 2 includes a pair of frame parts 2 a made of elongated materials with corners at both ends and a pair of frame parts 2 b made of elongated materials with the same corners. Are formed in a substantially rectangular shape so as to form a hole 2c in the surface of the frame portion 2 (a pair of frame components 2a face each other with a predetermined distance apart, and a pair of frame components 2b face each other with a predetermined distance apart). Each of them is assembled and joined by a fastener (not shown. For example, other joining means such as an adhesive may be used). Of course, the frame 2 may have a shape other than a substantially rectangular shape (for example, a circle). Note that the frame portion 2 may be integrally formed. The frame parts 2a and 2b are preferably made of a paulownia material excellent in hygroscopicity, but may be made of wood other than the paulownia material or other materials such as plastic.

  In FIG. 2, a hole 2 e is formed on the back surface of the frame portion 2, and the back plate portion 3 is fitted into the hole 2 e (the relationship between the hole 2 e and the above-described hole 2 c and the frame portion of the back plate portion 3. The fixing method for 2 will be described later). Four leg portions 6 are provided at each of the four corners of the back surface of the foot wiping board 1, and one leg portion 6 is provided substantially at the center. The leg part 6 has elasticity and can be extended and contracted. A sheet of rubber or the like for preventing slipping may be attached to the back surface of the leg portion 6. The back plate portion 3 is preferably made of paulownia, but may be made of other wood such as china plywood other than paulownia, or may be made of other materials such as plastic. Further, the total number of the leg portions 6 is not limited to five. For example, only four legs may be provided at each of the four corners, or the leg portions 6 may not be provided. Moreover, the leg part 6 does not have elasticity and does not need to be telescopic.

  In FIG. 3, the weight scale 7 includes two main bodies 7a, a display unit 7d, and two cords 7c that connect between the main body 7a and the display unit 7d. A sensor portion 7b that senses a load is provided on the surface of each main body 7a, and the main body 7a measures the weight of the user by calculating based on the sensed load information. A liquid crystal display portion 7e for displaying the measured weight is provided on the surface of the display portion 7d.

  In FIG. 4, the back plate portion 3 is provided with ventilation through holes 3b (in the figure, there are 18 but the number is not particularly limited) at a predetermined position. A counterbore 3c for fitting the main body 7a of the weight scale 7, an accommodation hole 3d for accommodating the cord 7c, and a seat for fitting the display portion 7d at predetermined positions on the surface 3a of the back plate part 3. A counterbore 3e is provided.

  Subsequently, referring again to FIG. 1, a diatom board 5 as a draining plate is disposed on the back plate portion 3 on which the weight scale 7 is disposed, and is supported by the back plate portion 3. The diatom board 5 is temporarily fixed on the back plate part 3 by temporary fixing means such as a double-sided tape, and is detachable. The diatom board 5 may be fixed to the back plate portion 3. Further, the diatom board 5 may be simply disposed (not fixed) on the back plate portion 3.

  The diatom board 5 is composed of two board parts 5a and 5c, one board part 5e and 5j, respectively (total of six board parts). The board parts 5a and 5c are provided with through holes 5b for the sensor 7b (see FIG. 3) of the weight scale 7 at predetermined locations, and the board parts 5e are through holes for the display section 7d (see FIG. 3) of the weight scale 7. 5f is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the two board components 5a and 5c is fitted so as to be in contact with the opposing frame components 2b, and the board component 5e is fitted between the opposing board components 5a, and between the opposing board components 5c. The board part 5j is fitted in the board. The six board parts 5a-5j may be appropriately colored differently, and the diatom board 5 combining the board parts 5a-5j may form a pattern as a whole. Of course, the number of board parts constituting the diatom board 5 is not limited to six. That is, an appropriate number of one or more board components is determined according to the relationship between the size of the foot wipe board 1 and the size of the board components. Further, a spacer (not shown) may be appropriately disposed between the diatom board 5 and the fitting hole 2c. Furthermore, a water-absorbing paint (not shown) containing charcoal such as bamboo may be applied to the surface of the diatom board 5. Of course, a pattern may be given to the surface of the diatom board 5 by this water-absorbing paint.

  FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the foot wiping board 1 taken along the line A-A ′ in FIG. 1. The hole 2c on the front surface of the frame portion 2 communicates with the hole 2e on the back surface, and since the diameter of the hole 2e is larger than the diameter of the hole 2c, a shoulder portion 2d is formed between the hole 2e and the hole 2c. The back plate portion 3 is fixed to the peripheral surface of the hole 2e and the shoulder portion 2d with an adhesive. Of course, the back plate portion 3 may be fixed to the frame portion 2 by other fixing means such as a nail. The user's foot 8 is positioned on the sensor unit 7 b of the weight scale 7.

Next, the usage method of the foot wipe board 1 is demonstrated, referring FIG.
In the figure, a ventilation space 10 is formed between the back surface of the foot wiping board 1 (particularly, the frame portion 2 and the back plate portion 3) and the floor surface 9 on which the foot wiping board 1 is installed. When the user places the foot 8 on the foot wiping board 1, the water adhering to the foot 8 flows down onto the diatom board 5 as indicated by an arrow W in the figure and is absorbed and released by the diatom board 5.

  Here, when the leg part 6 is elastic (for example, when the leg part 6 is made of an elastic material such as urethane or rubber), the user puts the foot 8 on the foot wipe board 1 and the foot wipe board. When a load is applied to 1 downward, the leg 6 contracts and the foot wiping board 1 sinks in the direction of arrow P in the figure. If it does so, the air wetted with the water | moisture content discharge | released from the diatom board 5 will be discharged | emitted by the arrow L direction in the figure through the ventilation through-hole 3b and the ventilation space 10 of the backplate part 3. FIG. Furthermore, a part of the air may flow into the diatom board 5 through the vent hole 3b. On the other hand, when the user lowers the foot 8 from above the foot wipe board 1 and the load on the foot wipe board 1 is removed, the leg portion 6 extends and the foot wipe board 1 rises in the direction of arrow Q in the figure. . Then, as shown by the arrow M direction in the drawing, the relatively dry outside air is supplied to the ventilation space 10. Furthermore, a part of the outside air may be supplied to the diatom board 5 through the vent hole 3b. By this series of actions, ventilation to the diatom board 5 is promoted, and the moisture absorption efficiency of the diatom board 5 and the moisture release efficiency from the board are improved. In addition, when a user after taking a bath wipes a wet body on the foot wiping board 1, since the user generally moves up and down on the foot wiping board 1 multiple times, the above-described improvement in moisture absorption efficiency and moisture release efficiency The effect is more remarkable.

  Of course, even if the leg portion 6 does not expand and contract, the presence of the ventilation space 10 promotes ventilation to the diatom board 5 and improves moisture absorption efficiency of the diatom board 5 and moisture release efficiency from the board. Needless to say.

  In the above embodiment, the structure provided with the weight scale is illustrated, but the weight scale may not be provided, or other measurement equipment such as a body fat scale may be used instead of the weight scale 7, A hybrid device of a weight scale and a body fat scale may be used.
