Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a tile carpet, and more specifically, it relates to a tile carpet that has directionality and whose directionality can be visually identified. It's about pets.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, tiles made of plastic material, so-called vinyl tiles, have been widely used as floor covering materials for offices and homes. This vinyl tile has problems such as hardness, coldness, an unsatisfactory feeling when stepping on it, and is easily tiring, as well as an unsatisfactory aesthetic appearance. For this reason, long carpets having an upper surface layer made of fibrous material have come to be used instead of vinyl tiles. However, this long carpet is troublesome to transport, bring in, and install, and if it becomes locally soiled, it is impossible to replace it locally, and local repairs spoil the aesthetics of the whole. There were other problems.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of conventional floor covering materials, carpet tiles having an upper surface layer made of a fibrous material have recently come into wide use. Carpet tiles are available in various sizes and shapes, such as square, rectangular, diamond, etc.
There are things like. Such tile carpets are easy to transport, carry in, and install, and have the advantage of being locally replaceable in case of local stains. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a desired pattern on the floor using carpet tiles of various colors.

Such tile carpets often have a certain directionality, and it may be necessary to arrange a large number of tile carpets so that their directionality matches. If the directionality of such a tile carpet is based, for example, on the inclination direction of the fiber pile in the upper surface layer, the direction may not be easily discerned by observing the upper surface.

In such a case, for example, in a tile carpet consisting of a fiber surface layer 1 and a backing layer 2 and having the directionality of arrow A, as shown in FIG. It is common practice to attach a sensitive identification mark, for example, an arrow B as shown in the figure. However, in order to check such identification marks, it is necessary to turn over a large number of tile carpets one by one, and this operation significantly reduces the efficiency of installing tile carpet flooring.

Problems to be solved by the invention This invention aims to make it possible to easily confirm the direction of directional carpet tiles, thereby providing carpet tiles with high construction efficiency. It is.

Means for Solving the Problems The tile carpet of the present invention that solves the above problems has a fiber upper surface layer formed using a fiber material, and a rubber elastic polymer and/or synthetic resin material on the back side. and a backing layer formed by
and a tile carpet having directionality in one direction, characterized by having a visual identification display of the directionality on at least one side of the backing layer that has a certain relationship with the direction. It is something to do.

Effects and Examples The tile carpet of the present invention is composed of a fiber surface layer 1 and a backing layer 2, as shown in FIG.
It has directionality in one direction indicated by arrow A.

The fiber surface layer 1 generally has a cut pile layer or a loop pile layer, and when this pile is inclined in a certain direction, the tile carpet has directionality in the direction of the pile inclination (one direction). become.

There is no particular limitation on the fibers forming the fiber surface layer 1, and generally polypropylene fibers, nylon 6
Alternatively, nylon 66 fiber, polyacrylonitrile fiber, polyester fiber, wool, rayon, linen, cotton, or a mixture thereof can be used.

The backing layer 2 is made of a rubber elastic polymer and/or a synthetic resin material. There are no particular limitations on the rubber elastic polymer and/or synthetic resin material, and natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polypropylene resin, bitumen, etc. can be used. Moreover, the fiber upper surface layer may be adhered to the backing layer via an adhesive layer. Alternatively, a fibrous intermediate layer made of a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, and/or a nonwoven fabric may be formed between the fibrous surface layer and the backing layer, or on the back surface of the lining layer. Alternatively, the backing layer may have a triple structure with the above-mentioned fiber intermediate layer in the middle.

The backing layer of the directional carpet tile of the present invention has a visual identification mark of the directional property on at least one side having a certain relationship with respect to a predetermined direction indicated by the tile carpet. .

In FIG. 1, the backing layer 2 is colored only on the side surface on the upper side in one direction indicated by arrow A with respect to the directionality of the tile carpet, forming a colored side surface 3. There is. Of course, side 3
The color of the side is different from the color of the other sides, making visual identification easier.

Even when a large number of tile carpets having a visual identification display as described above are piled up arbitrarily as shown in Fig. 5, their direction can be easily determined just by looking at the side. This makes it extremely easy to align the orientation of individual carpet tiles during floor construction.

Although the entire side surface 3 is colored in FIG. 1, the coloring may be applied only to a portion thereof or to form a predetermined pattern. Further, this colored display may be provided on the lower side in the direction of arrow A. In other words, if you define sides that have a certain relationship (for example, upper, lower, left, right, etc. in the direction of the arrow) with respect to a predetermined direction of the tile carpet, and put identification marks on the relevant sides of all tile carpets. good.

The identification mark may be applied from the backing layer to the upper surface of the fiber.

The identification display is not particularly limited as long as it can be visually identified. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it may be a carved marking 4 formed on the upper side surface 3A of the arrow A, that is, a concave marking.

Further, the identification display may be a protrusion display 5 formed on the upper side surface 3B of the arrow A as illustrated in FIG. 3, that is, a convex display. The markings and protrusions may be colored. In addition, there are protrusions (convex) and markings (concave) on the top and bottom of the arrow, respectively, so that they fit or engage with each other.
A display may also be formed.

The above-mentioned colored identification markings may be made by any method, and may be applied by spraying, brushing, or rollers using paint, ink, etc., or by pasting a film or label with colored identification markings. good. Furthermore, the identification display of the present invention may be used in combination with a conventional back layer display.

As mentioned above, the identification may be provided on only one side, or on two or more sides. For example, when providing identification marks on two or more sides of a rectangular carpet, the four circumferential sides and
The relationship between a given direction is different from each other. Therefore, each of the markings provided on the four circumferential sides must be distinguishable from the others.

Effects of the invention The present invention makes it easier to align the orientation when installing a large number of tile carpets as flooring by providing a visual identification display on the side of the tile carpet to indicate the direction of the tile carpet. The work efficiency can be significantly improved.
