Description

  The present invention relates to a mat having a shape stabilizing function.

  Conventional mats have been made of materials such as soft towels, which are woven tightly to prevent loss of shape. Some of them had a resin treatment on the back to prevent slipping.

These have the following drawbacks.
(1) The mat made of a soft material was easy to bend and wrinkle during use, and it was bad in appearance.
(2) Even a hard mat with a tightly woven yarn or a resin finish on the back surface is better shaped than a mat made of a soft material, but it is still often bent or bumpy. Oops. Such a hard mat cannot be washed with other soft clothes in a washing machine, and needs to be individually hand-washed. Even if it was stated that it could be washed in a washing machine, it was necessary to wash with a lot of water using only mats, and both water and detergent were required.
The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks.

  In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention is mounted in the bag portion of the mat body (1) such as a bath or kitchen having a bag portion, with the wire (2) made of elastic wire or plastic as a ring. Is.

(1) Keep the mat always stretched.
(2) When you want to wash the mat, you can remove the wire and put it together with other laundry, saving detergent and water. You can easily wash and keep clean.
(3) Since the mat material can be made sufficiently comfortable with a thinner or cheaper material than the conventional mat, there is a possibility that a comfortable mat can be produced at a low cost.
The present invention is a bath or kitchen mat or other mat as described above.

As shown in FIG. 1, two towel cloths of the same size are stacked (1), the three sides are sewn (4), and the remaining one side is not partly stitched near the corner, and the wire entry / exit port (3) Leave as. Towel cloths of the same size can be created with one side upside and the other side back, or can be used reversibly. The front and back sides are not the same size, but one side may be smaller. Moreover, not only a square mat but also a polygon, a round thing, and other shapes are good.
Concerning the wire, the wire (2) made of elastic wire or elastic plastic is connected to one end to form a ring, and the ring is transformed into an ellipse from the wire entry / exit (3). And insert it (see FIG. 2). The elastic wire ring tries to keep the tension tight, so the mat can always stay tight. Since the wire entrance / exit (3) is provided avoiding the center of the side, the wire ring does not jump out.
The size of the circumference of the ring is preferably slightly smaller than the size around the mat. As for the wire, the cut end may be either rectangular FIG. 3 (a) or circular FIG. 3 (b). In actual use, when a rectangular cut (that is, a plate-shaped wire) is attached, the cut is more stable than a circular wire. When fixing a single wire in a ring shape, it is dangerous if the joints come off and the end of the wire jumps out of the mat. The thickness of the wire is about 1.5 to 2.5 mm in width when the cut is rectangular, and about 1 mm in diameter when the cut is round. Sometimes the size of is good.
When the mat size is large, two rings can be used by sewing the center of the bag portion as shown in FIG. In this case, two wire outlets are provided. When storing or carrying, pull out the wire ring, fold the mat cloth part small, and make the ring part double or triple.
