Description

This invention relates to a joint mat that is used as a rug by connecting a large number of rectangular mat units, and particularly relates to a peripheral band that is attached to the periphery of the mat unit located on the outer periphery of the rug.

As disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, this type of joint mat is used as a rug by connecting a plurality of mat units by engaging the unevenness formed along the periphery of each mat unit. Since engagement irregularities appear on the outer periphery of the mat unit and the mat unit lacks smoothness, a band-shaped member with one side formed in a straight line is attached to the mat unit to improve its practicality as a rug.

However, if a human body or an object applies an impact to the joint mat surface, a partial misalignment may occur between the mat and the mat laying surface, causing the joint mat to move or the engagement unevenness between the mat units to come off. Sometimes I put it away. Such accidents are particularly common in the case of elastic synthetic resins, which are often used as materials for joint mats.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to minimize the displacement movement caused by impact between the joint mat and the surface on which it is laid, so that the joint mat can be laid stably.

In order to solve the above problem, in this invention, when connecting a large number of rectangular plate-shaped mat units and further engaging the elongated peripheral band to form a joint mat, a release paper is applied to the peripheral band in advance. A coated adhesive layer was provided.

According to this invention, since the peripheral band that borders the joint mat can be glued to the laying surface, the position of the joint mat can be stably maintained, and the joint mat can be prevented from deforming, lifting, or shifting due to impact etc. etc. can be prevented.

An exploded perspective view showing an example of the joint mat of this invention, Plan view of joint mat, A plan view showing the relationship between the peripheral band used for the joint mat and the mat unit, A plan view showing the relationship between other peripheral zones and the mat unit; Partial cross-section of the peripheral zone, A schematic diagram showing another example of the protruding part of the mat unit, FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view showing another example of the joint mat.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows the constituent members of a joint mat, and FIG. 2 shows an example of a joint mat completed by connecting the above-mentioned constituent members. As shown in the figure, the joint mat M consists of a rectangular mat unit 1 and elongated strip-shaped peripheral bands 10 and 20 attached to the periphery of the mat unit 1.

The rectangular mat unit 1 is a flat plate-shaped body, and engaging protrusions 2 and depressions 3 are provided alternately and continuously on each side of the rectangle. The protrusions 2 and the recesses 3 have the same shape in plan, and by fitting the protrusions 2 and the recesses 3 of one mat unit 1 and another mat unit 1, a plurality of mats can be formed as shown in FIG. Units 1 can be connected. Although various shapes can be selected for the protrusion 2 and the depression 3, a mushroom-shaped one is shown here.

A rug is formed by connecting the mat units 1 as described above, but irregularities due to the protrusions 2 and depressions 3 of the mat units 1 appear on the outer peripheral edge of the rug. These irregularities on the peripheral edge become a catch on the human body or articles, and are unfavorable in terms of appearance. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, elongated peripheral bands 10 and 20 are attached to the outer edge of the mat unit 1 located on the outer periphery. The peripheral bands 10 and 20 have outer surfaces 11 and 21 formed as smooth linear surfaces, and inner surfaces have depressions 12 and projections 13 that fit into the projections 2 and depressions 3 of the mat unit 1. A depression 22 and a protrusion 23 are respectively formed.

The fitting structure between the mat units 1 and the peripheral bands 10 and 20 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 3, one of the protrusions 2a formed at the top (upper end) of the many protrusions 2 formed on one side edge of the mat unit 1 has a triangular bulge 2b. One bulge 3b of the depression 3a formed at the rearmost end (lower end) is formed in the same triangular shape as the bulge. In this way, a row of mating concaves and convexes is formed clockwise on each side of the mat unit 1, with the protrusion 2a at the beginning, followed by regular depressions 3 and regular protrusions 2 alternately, and the depression 3a at the end. has been done. When the opposing sides of a pair of mat units 1 having such fitting unevenness on the entire circumference are brought together and the protrusions 2a, 2... of one mat unit 1 are fitted into the depressions 3a, 3... of the other mat unit 1, A pair of mat units 1, 1 are connected. Through this connecting operation, a joint mat M having a desired shape and size can be formed.

Here, unevenness due to the protrusions 2, 2a and depressions 3, 3a appears around the finished joint mat, so peripheral bands 10, 20 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are attached to border it. The peripheral band 20 is attached only to the periphery of the mat unit 1 located at the corner of the joint mat M, and the peripheral band 10 is attached to the other mat units 1. Recesses 12, 12a and projections 13, 13a corresponding to the projections 2, 2a and recesses 3, 3a of the mat unit 1 are formed on the inner edge of the peripheral band 10, so that they can fit into each other. Further, a trapezoidal protrusion 10a is formed at the tip of the peripheral band 10, and a recess 10b having the same shape as the protrusion 10a is formed at the rear end.

As shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral bands 20 located at the corners of the joint mat M fill the gaps (indicated by diagonal lines) between the protrusions 10a (indicated by chain lines) and the recesses 10b of the peripheral bands 10, so that the corners are Corner portions 20a are provided that are approximately at right angles. The other protrusions 23 and recesses 22 are the same in arrangement and shape as the protrusions 13 and recesses 12 of the peripheral band 10. Further, the shape of the rearmost protrusion 23a is also the same as that of the protrusion 13a. Note that although the opposite sides 11 and 21 of the protrusions 13 and 23 are straight lines, they may be gentle curves.

As shown in FIG. 5, an adhesive layer 15 is provided on the entire back surface (laying surface) of the peripheral bands 10, 20 as described above. The adhesive may be one that has a level of adhesiveness that allows it to be bonded and peeled off by hand in a commonly used manner. This adhesive layer 15 is covered with a release paper 16. The release paper 16 is also made of commonly used paper, synthetic resin film, or a laminate thereof.

The method for laying the joint mat M is to first connect the mat units 1 into a desired shape, and then connect the peripheral bands 10 and 20 around the entire periphery of the mat units 1. At that time, it is preferable to install the previously connected mat units 1 on the installation surface, then fit the peripheral bands 10 and 20 and peel off the release paper 16. Then, the peripheral bands 10 and 20 are brought into close contact with the installation surface using the adhesive layer 15. This fixes the position of the joint mat M and prevents the mat unit 1 from slipping or lifting.

The shapes of the projections 2 and depressions 3 of the mat unit 1 can be selected from various shapes. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it can be formed into an inverted trapezoid, a rectangle, a wave shape, or the like. Further, the shapes do not have to be the same, and may include irregularly shaped protrusions 2c and depressions 3c as shown in FIG. 6(A).

The joint mat M was formed by the mat unit 1 and the peripheral bands 10 and 20, but as shown in FIG. It is also possible to use a filler piece 30 shaped to just fill the gap.

The mat unit 1 and the peripheral bands 10 and 20 may be made of a single material or a laminate of synthetic resin, foamed synthetic resin, woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, knitted fabric, tufted fabric, paper, etc. The thickness is 0.5 mm to 200 mm. Metal foil can also be used for the laminate. Furthermore, an anti-slip agent can be applied to the back surface of the mat unit 1. In addition, it is not necessary to use the same material for the mat unit 1, and it is possible to use a mixture of materials.
