Description

  The present invention relates to a mat holder for storing a mat having water absorption and deodorizing properties.

When a man urinates into a urinal, the urine that has rebounded from the urinal tends to scatter to the near side. If this is left unattended, urine will accumulate on the floor, and it will be filthy, and if it dries and sticks to the floor, it will give off a foul odor.
Therefore, it is conceivable to place a mat having water absorption and deodorizing properties on the front side of the urinal and absorb the urine scattered from the urinal with this mat.
Thus, when using a mat having water absorption and deodorant properties, it is not hygienic to step on the mat with shoes, and it is dangerous if the foot slips. Therefore, it is preferable to store the mat in the mat holder and place it on the floor so that it does not touch the feet directly.

  As such a mat holder, there is devised a mat holder comprising a flat box-shaped base 20 on which the water-absorbing and deodorizing mat M is placed, and a cover 10 that covers the base 20 and closes its opening. (See Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Since a large number of through holes are formed in almost the entire surface of the cover 10 of this type of mat holder 2, the scattered urine adheres to the surface of the mat M in the holder and is absorbed through the through holes. Become.
The mat M that has absorbed urine is periodically removed from the mat holder 2 and replaced with a new mat M, or is used again after cleaning, thereby keeping the toilet clean.

  By the way, in such a conventional mat holder 2, the cover 10 is opened without permission and the opening of the base 20 is closed so that the mat M does not protrude from the inside, as shown in FIG. The cover 10 is attached to the base 20 by fitting a U-shaped clip 30 from the side.

Certainly, if the clip 30 is used in this way, the cover 10 will not be opened without permission, so that it is convenient as long as it is used.
However, it is troublesome and inconvenient to attach and detach the clip 30 to and from the mat holder 2 every time the cover 10 is opened and closed. Further, the number of parts is increased by the amount of the clip 30, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost.

  Further, in this type of mat holder 2, both the cover 10 and the base 20 are made of stainless steel in consideration of corrosion resistance and the like, and the mat 20 is further attached to the base 20 as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and (b). In order to prevent M from slipping, an upward U-shaped channel member 24 is attached, so that it is heavy and inconvenient to carry.

  Therefore, the first problem to be solved by the present invention is that the mat holder comprising the base and the cover for holding the mat having the water absorption and deodorizing property can be easily attached to and detached from the cover of the base and the parts. It is to reduce the score.

  The second problem to be solved by the present invention is to further reduce the weight of the mat holder after solving the first problem described above.

In order to solve the first problem described above, a mat holder for storing a mat having water absorption and deodorization has a base that is placed on the floor and a cover that is attached to the base and has the following configuration. is there.
That is, the base has a rectangular bottom panel for placing the mat on the upper surface, and front and rear flanges connected to the front and rear edges of the bottom panel and projecting outward.
Further, the cover faces the bottom panel of the base and has a rectangular top panel having a large number of through holes, front and rear side panels hanging from four sides of the top panel, and lower edges of the front and rear side panels. The front and rear retaining pieces respectively extend inward and engage the front and rear flange lower surfaces of the base, respectively.
When the cover is slid in the front direction, the engagement of the front retaining piece with the front flange is released, so that the cover can be rotated upward about the rear portion and can be detached from the base. It was configured as follows.

As described above, from the state where the cover is attached to the base, it can be removed simply by sliding and rotating, and when the reverse operation is performed, it can be attached again. Therefore, attachment / detachment of the cover to / from the base can be performed with one touch.
Further, since the clip is unnecessary, the number of parts can be reduced, and as a result, the cost can be reduced.
The mat here includes not only a sheet having a relatively large thickness to which the pile is tufted but also a sheet-like material such as a sheet having a relatively small thickness such as a nonwoven fabric sheet.

Furthermore, in order to solve the second problem described above, the bottom panel of the base is made of foamed vinyl chloride.
Thereby, compared with the mat holder whose conventional base is stainless steel, weight reduction is achieved, and as a result, carrying etc. become easy. In addition, foamed vinyl chloride is inexpensive and has good impact resistance, flexibility and processability.

  Since the mat holder according to the invention is configured as described above, the cover can be easily attached to and detached from the base, and the clip is unnecessary, so that the cost can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mat holder 1 according to the embodiment accommodates a mat having water absorption and deodorization properties, and is placed on the floor on the near side of the urinal T, and the urine bounced from the urinal T is matted. Used to absorb in and prevent the floor from getting dirty with urine.
As shown in FIG. 2, the mat holder 1 includes a base 20 that is placed on the floor and a cover 10 that is attached to the base 20.
As will be described later, the cover 10 can be detached from the base 20 when it is slid in the forward direction and rotated around the rear part. It can be attached.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the base 20 includes a bottom panel 21 on which the mat M is placed on an upper surface, a pair of front and rear flanges 22 connected to the upper surface of the bottom panel 21, and a pair of left and right sides. And a stopper 23.

The bottom panel 21 is substantially rectangular, and its rear edge is recessed in a substantially triangular shape to form a recess 21a.
A pair of strip-shaped flanges 22 are respectively fixed to the front and rear edges of the top surface of the bottom panel 21, and portions corresponding to the recesses 21 a of the bottom panel 21 are cut out.
Since each flange 22 protrudes outside the bottom panel 21, a gap is formed between the lower surface of the flange 22 and the floor in a state where the base 20 is placed on the floor.
In this embodiment, as illustrated, the protruding amount of the rear flange 22 from the bottom panel 21 is larger than the protruding amount of the front flange 22 from the bottom panel 21.

A pair of strip-shaped stoppers 23 are respectively fixed to the left and right edges of the upper surface of the bottom panel 21, and unlike the flange 22, do not protrude from the bottom panel 21.
Since the mat M placed on the upper surface of the bottom panel 21 is surrounded by the flange 22 and the stopper 23 from four sides, the shift movement is prevented and the mat M does not protrude from the base 20.

The bottom panel 21, the flange 22, and the stopper 23 are each formed by appropriately cutting a synthetic resin plate, and both are fixed by adhesion or the like.
Examples of the synthetic resin plate include a foamed vinyl chloride plate, a foamed ABS plate, and a vinyl chloride plate (solid plate), but the foamed vinyl chloride plate is lightweight, has high impact resistance, and has good adhesion. preferable. The expansion ratio of the foamed vinyl chloride plate is not particularly limited, but is preferably 150% to 200%, and particularly preferably about 200%.

Here, the thickness of the bottom panel 21 and the flange 22 is not particularly limited as long as it does not contradict the requirements for weight reduction and impact resistance. For example, 2 mm to 5 mm, the bottom panel 21 is about 2 mm, and the flange 22 and the stopper 23 are about 5 mm. Can be illustrated.
The length of the bottom panel 21 and the flange 22 is not particularly limited, but the length of the bottom panel 21 in the front-rear direction is about 430 mm, the width of the front flange 22 is about 10 mm, and the width of the rear flange 22 is about 15 mm. It can be illustrated.
Furthermore, although the protrusion amount from the bottom panel 21 of each flange 22 is not particularly limited, the rear flange 22 is about 10 mm and the front flange 22 is about 5 mm.
The weight of the base 20 as a whole is also not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 kg to 2 kg, more preferably about 1 kg from the convenience of carrying.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the cover 10 includes a substantially rectangular top panel 11, front and rear side panels 12 hanging from four sides of the top panel 11, and inward from the lower edges of the front and rear side panels 12. Each of the retaining pieces 13 extends.
As shown in FIG. 4, with the cover 10 attached to the base 20, the top panel 11 faces the top surface of the bottom panel 21 of the base 20 almost in parallel. The base 20 is engaged with the lower surface of the flange 22.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the top panel 11 has a large number of circular through holes 11 a formed on almost the entire surface thereof, so that water can pass therethrough. Further, the rear edge is recessed in a substantially triangular shape like the bottom panel 21 to form a recess 11b.

Further, as shown in the drawing, among the front, rear, left and right side panels 12, the rear side panel 12 hangs substantially perpendicular to the top panel 11, but the front and left and right side panels 12 are perpendicular to the top panel 11. Inclined and drooping.
Due to this inclination, it is difficult for a person who urinates the urinal T to go to the mat holder 1.
Here, the inclination angles of the front and left and right side panels 12 are not particularly limited, but 135 degrees with respect to the top panel 11 can be exemplified.
Further, the rear side panel 12 is cut at a portion corresponding to the recess 11 b of the top panel 11.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the retaining pieces 13 extend inwardly from the front and rear side panels 12 two by two.
Since the front and rear retaining pieces 13 corresponding to the front and rear side panels 12 correspond to each other, the front retaining pieces 13 and the rear retaining pieces 13 are opposed to each other to form two pairs.
In this embodiment, the front retaining piece 13 is formed longer than the rear retaining piece 13 as shown in FIGS.

Here, the material of the cover 10 is not particularly limited, but is preferably made of stainless steel in consideration of corrosion resistance, durability, and the like.
In the case of being made of stainless steel, the top panel 11, the side panel 12, and the retaining piece 13 are easily manufactured by punching a stainless plate into a suitable shape and bending it to form a single body. Therefore, it is preferable.
The thickness of the cover 10 is not particularly limited, but when a stainless steel plate is used, it is preferable that the thickness is about 1 mm because it is lightweight and has sufficient strength.

Since the top panel 11 and the side panel 12 completely cover the base 20 as shown in FIG. 4, the distance between the lower edges of the left and right side panels 12 is larger than the left and right lengths of the bottom panel 21 of the base 20. The distance between the lower edges of the front and rear side panels 12 is larger than the distance between the tips of the front and rear flanges 22 of the base 20.
The length dimension of the side panel 12 in the front-rear direction is not particularly limited, but the length of the bottom panel 21 in the front-rear direction is about 430 mm exemplified above, and the length of the front and rear flange 22 is adjusted to about 445 mm. About 450 mm, which is larger than any of the above, can be exemplified.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the bottom panel 21 of the base 20 is disposed between the front ends of the front and rear retaining pieces 13 in a state where the mat holder 1 is assembled. However, it is larger than the length of the bottom panel 21 in the front-rear direction.
The distance between the front and rear ends of the front and rear retaining pieces 13 is not particularly limited, and can be exemplified by about 435 mm, which is larger than about 430 mm exemplified above in the longitudinal direction of the bottom panel 21.
Examples of the length of the retaining piece 13 include a front retaining piece 13 of about 15 mm and a rear retaining piece 13 of about 10 mm. In this case, the maximum engagement length with the flange 22 is about 15 mm. About 10 mm.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since there is a gap between the retaining pieces 13 and the bottom panel 21 of the base 20, the cover 10 can slide a predetermined distance forward and backward with respect to the base 20.
When the cover 10 is slid to the maximum in the forward direction, the engagement between the front retaining piece 13 and the front flange 22 can be released. That is, the slidable amount of the cover 10 is equal to or greater than the maximum engagement length between the front retaining piece 13 and the front flange 22.
In the case of the dimensions exemplified above, the bottom panel 21 is allowed to slide about 5 mm in the front-rear direction between the retaining pieces 13, and the maximum engagement length between the front flange 22 and the front retaining piece 13 is about 5 mm. Therefore, when the cover 10 is slid maximally in the forward direction, the engagement between the front flange 22 and the retaining piece 13 is just released.

Here, the type of the mat M having water absorption and deodorizing properties stored in the mat holder 1 is not particularly limited, but is preferably made of functional fibers that decompose or deodorize odors of urine.
As such a functional fiber, Toyobo Co., Ltd.'s Dismel (registered trademark), and a deodorizing fiber using the radiation graft polymerization technology of Environmental Research Laboratory Co., Ltd. are preferable.
Moreover, you may use the toilet mat containing activated carbon like the past.

The configuration of the mat holder 1 according to the embodiment is as described above. Next, the use thereof will be described.
After the mat M is placed on the bottom panel 21 of the base 20, the cover 10 is covered from above the base 20, the front retaining piece 13 is engaged with the lower surface of the front flange 22, and the rear surface of the rear flange 22 is engaged with the rear surface. The mat holder 1 is assembled by attaching the side retaining pieces 13 to the engaged state.
As shown in FIG. 1, this is placed close to the front side of the urinal T, and is installed so that the front lower part of the urinal T fits into the recesses 11b and 21a.
Here, the mat holder 1 is light in weight because the base 20 is formed of a foamed vinyl chloride plate, etc., so that it is easy to carry when installed.

When urinating into the urinal T, the urine that has bounced back from the urinal T enters the mat holder 1 through the through hole 11a of the top panel 11 and adheres to the mat M. The urine adhering to the mat M is quickly absorbed, and the amount of the urine is appropriately eliminated depending on the type of the mat M. As a result, the floor is not soiled with urine and the toilet is kept clean.
Here, since there are the concave portions 11b and 21a corresponding to the front lower part of the urinal T as described above, the mat holder 1 can be brought closer to the urinal T, and the urine that has rebounded is efficiently absorbed into the mat M. It can be deodorized.

When the mat holder 1 is thus installed and a certain period of time has passed and the mat M needs to be replaced or washed, the cover 10 is slid forward to prevent the retaining piece 13 on the front side and the flange 22 on the front side. Release the engagement.
Next, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 4, when the cover 10 is rotated upward about the rear portion, the engagement between the rear retaining piece 13 and the rear flange 22 can be released, so that the base 20 can be removed.

  After replacing or reinserting the mat M, the rear retaining piece 13 is engaged with the lower surface of the rear flange 22 in a state where the cover 10 is inclined with respect to the base 20, and then the cover 10 is centered on the rear portion. Rotate downward until parallel to the base 20. Further, when the cover 10 is slid rearward, the front retaining piece 13 engages with the lower surface of the front flange 22, so that the cover 10 cannot be rotated and is attached to the base 20.

  As described above, the attachment / detachment of the cover 10 to / from the base 20 can be easily performed with almost one touch only by sliding the cover 10 back and forth and rotating up and down. Further, when attaching the cover 10 to the base 20, no separate parts such as a clip are required, so the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Here, the recesses 11b and 21a of the mat holder 1 can be omitted as shown in FIG.
Further, the side panel 12 of the cover 10 does not have to be inclined as in the embodiment, and all of the front, rear, left and right may be suspended substantially perpendicular to the top panel 11.
Furthermore, the retaining pieces 13 of the cover 10 do not have to be two pairs as in the embodiment, and at least a pair may be sufficient. Further, the stopper 23 of the base 20 can be omitted as appropriate.
Needless to say, the mat holder 1 can be used not only in a toilet but also in a kitchen, such as a kitchen sink. The mat holder 1 absorbs water splashed from the sink and scattered on the floor, and prevents the floor from getting wet. be able to.
