Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a shoe wiping mat to be smoothly laid in a state that the edge sections of a rear layer are properly jointed to a floor surface by arranging a foundation, flock formed on the surface of the foundation, a rear layer made of flexible material jointed to the rear side surface of the foundation, and a plurality of ball-shaped weights embedded at the edge sections of the rear layer. CONSTITUTION:A mat member 9 is composed of a foundation 1, shoe wiping flock 2 formed on the surface of the foundation 1, a rear layer 3 made of flexible material jointed to the rear side surface of the foundation 1, and a plurality of ball-shaped Weights 6 embedded at both side edge sections at the front and rear of the rear layer 3. At the time of laying, with the weight of the respective weights 6, both the side edges at the front and rear of the rear layer 3 are properly jointed to a floor surface. Accordingly, even if the rear layer 3 is deformed at the time of recovery and in a cleaning process, its deformation is cancelled quickly along with the laying, and so the mat member 9 can be smoothly laid in a non-curved state, and pedestrians can be previously prevented from making a wrong step.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a shoe-wiping mat that is placed at entrances and exits such as entrances to remove mud and dust from shoes.

[Prior Art] A shoe-wiping mat of this type as shown in FIG. 9 has been known in the past.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a conventional shoe-wiping mat.

In the figure, (1) is a rectangular base fabric, and (2) is a base fabric (
(1) is a flock made of cotton or synthetic fiber formed on the surface of the base fabric (1), and (3) is a backing layer made of a flexible material such as rubber or synthetic resin bonded to the back side of the base fabric (1).

The conventional shoe-wiping mat configured as described above is laid on the floor of an entrance such as an entrance with the backing layer (3) facing down. When a visitor passes through the second shoe-wiping mat, the mud or dust adhering to the visitor's shoes is wiped away by the flocked mats (2). Dirty shoe-wiping mats are collected regularly, cleaned and reused.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional shoe-wiping mat configured as described above, the lining layer (3) has creases during collection, or the lining layer (3) When the lining layer (3) is subjected to hysteresis due to the heat of the cleaning process, a curved portion (4) is generated at the side edge of the lining layer (3). If you lay out the shoe-wiping mat in this state as it is,
Since there is a risk that a passerby may trip over the curved section (4) by tripping over it, it is necessary to take the troublesome process of straightening the curved section (4) prior to installation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a shoe-wiping mat that can be laid smoothly without any curvature without any troublesome straightening process. Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoe-wiping mat that can maintain the smooth laid state for a long period of time and also reliably prevent the shoe-wiping mat from lifting up during use.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve the second problem, the shoe cleaning mat of claim 1
- consists of a base fabric, shoe-wiping flocks formed on the surface of the base fabric, a lining layer made of a flexible material bonded to the back of the base fabric, and an edge of the lining layer. It is equipped with a large number of spherical weights arranged.

The shoe-wiping mat of claim 2 comprises a mat member and a base member, and the mat member includes a base fabric, a shoe-wiping flock formed on the surface of the base fabric, and a shoe-wiping mat formed on the surface of the base fabric. The base member is composed of a backing layer made of a flexible material bonded to the back surface of the mat, and a spherical weight made of a large number of magnetic materials arranged at the edge of the backing layer. It is composed of a support surface that supports the backing layer of the member and a magnet that attracts the weight of the mat member.

[Function] In the shoe cleaning mat according to the first aspect, a large number of spherical weights are arranged at the edge of the lining layer.

Therefore, during laying, the weight of the weights straightens the edge of the backing layer and properly joins it to the Song surface. Therefore, even if the backing layer is deformed during collection or during the cleaning process, the deformation is quickly resolved during installation. Therefore,
The shoe-wiping mat can be laid smoothly without any curvature without performing the conventional straightening process, thereby preventing passersby from tripping over it. In addition, since the weight is formed into a spherical shape, the flexibility of the lining layer is not impaired.
There is no risk of interfering with cleaning.

In the shoe cleaning mat according to claim 2, a plurality of spherical weights made of magnetic material are disposed at the edge of the backing layer of the mat member, and a magnet for attracting the weights is disposed on the base member. Therefore, when the mat member is laid on the base member, the weights are attracted to the magnets, and the edges of the backing layer are correctly and strongly joined to the support surface of the base member.

Therefore, it is not only possible to eliminate deformation of the backing layer and maintain a smooth laid state for a long period of time, but also to reliably suppress lifting up during use, thereby preventing passersby from tripping. I can do it.

[Example] Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a shoe cleaning mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line X-X of Fig. 1, and Fig.
2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the Y-Y line in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of a mat member showing a method of arranging weights in the shoe cleaning mat of FIG. 2.

A support surface (13) for supporting the backing layer (3) of the mat member (9) is formed smoothly at the bottom of the recess (11). In addition, mat members (9) are attached to the front and back edges of the four locations (11).
A magnet (14) that attracts the weight (6) is buried with its surface exposed on the support surface (13). (15) is a holding plate that holds the magnet (14) so that it does not come off.

In the shoe cleaning mat of this embodiment constructed as in Section 12, the mat member (9) can be used alone depending on the conditions of the installation site, or the mat member (9) can be used as a base member. (10) It can also be used in a state where it is assembled.

When using the mat member (9) alone, the backing layer (3)
) side down, lay the mat member (9) on the floor of an entrance such as an entrance. Then, the weight of the many spherical weights (6) embedded in the front and rear edges of the lining layer (3) brings the front and rear edges of the lining layer (3) into tight contact with the floor surface. When a visitor passes over this mat member (9), the mud or dust adhering to the visitor's shoes is wiped away by the flocking (2). In this case, since the front and rear edges of the mat member (9) are properly joined to the floor surface, there is no risk of passersby falling on the mat member (9).

On the other hand, when using the mat member (9) together with the base member (10), place the mat member (9) on the base member (10) with the backing layer (3) of the mat member (9) facing down. It is accommodated in the recess (11).

Then, the entire backing layer (3) of the mat member (9) is smoothly supported by the support surface (13) of the base member (10). At the same time, a large number of spherical weights (6) made of magnetic material embedded in the front and back edges of the backing layer (3) are attracted to the magnets (14) of the base member (10), and the backing layer The front and rear edges of (3) are brought into close contact with the support surface (13). Therefore, if used in this state, the mat member (9) will be attracted to the base member (10) through the strong adsorption force of the magnet (14).
) on the mat member (
9) There is no risk of harm. Furthermore, the attraction force of the magnet (14) prevents the mat member (9) from floating during use. Note that the mat member (9) is attached to the base member (1

It is composed of.

Therefore, according to the shoe-wiping mat having the above structure, since a large number of spherical weights (6) are embedded in the front and back edges of the backing layer (3), when laying the mat, the weight of each weight (6) is Both front and rear edges of the lining layer (3) are properly joined to the floor surface. Therefore, even if the backing layer (3) is deformed at the time of recovery or during the cleaning process, the deformation is quickly eliminated as the liner is laid down. Therefore, the mat member (9) can be laid smoothly without any curvature without performing the conventional straightening treatment, thereby preventing passersby from tripping over it. Moreover, since the weight (6) is formed into a spherical shape, the flexibility of the lining layer (3) is not impaired, and there is no risk of interfering with washing with water in the cleaning process.

Further, in the shoe cleaning mat of this embodiment in which the mat member (9) is used in combination with the base member (10), the mat member (9) has a base fabric (1) and a base fabric (1). a shoe-wiping flock (2) formed on the surface of the base fabric (1); a lining layer (3) made of a flexible material bonded to the back surface of the base fabric (1);
