Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile mat placed on the floor of a vehicle interior.

2. Description of the Related Art Mats of this type have been developed that are equipped with drainage holes that introduce moisture such as rainwater and snow that has dripped onto the top surface of the mat into drainage holes in the vehicle body (for example, Utility Model Publication No. 59-113231).
(see publication). In addition to providing a drain port, mats have also been devised in which the top surface of the mat is sloped so that dripping water can easily collect at the drain port (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 55-157035). .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional car mats, the drainage holes simply penetrate vertically through the top and bottom surfaces of the mat, so water such as rainwater that flows back forcefully from the car body drainage holes can be removed. could have flowed into the passenger compartment through the drain. Moreover, in order to prevent this, it is necessary to attach a complicated drainage device equipped with a check valve to the vehicle body drainage hole.

Furthermore, in the case of conventional car mats, the placement of the drain port is determined by the position of the drain hole on the car body side, and there is no flexibility in installing the drain port, so it is difficult to improve the water side in the passenger compartment as desired. There were inconveniences such as not being able to do so and spoiling the aesthetics of the interior.

Therefore, the present invention has an extremely simple structure that prevents the water that has flowed back forcefully from the drainage hole of the car body from flowing into the upper surface of the mat, and also has excellent water drainage inside the car without impairing the interior aesthetics. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mat for automobiles with a high quality.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a mat for an automobile equipped with a drain port for introducing dripped moisture into a drain hole in a vehicle body, and a hollow portion communicating with the drain port. At the same time, a water inlet that communicates the upper surface with the hollow portion was formed at a position offset from the drain port.

Moisture dripping onto the upper surface is once introduced into the hollow part through the water inlet, and then flows out from the hollow part to the drain port and drain hole in the vehicle body. The water that flows back into the drain from the drain hole on the car body is offset from the water inlet, so it does not flow directly to the top of the mat, but temporarily stays in the hollow part and is discharged again from the drain. .

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 9.

First, a first example will be described.

In FIG. 1.2, I is an automobile mat according to the present invention integrally formed of a resin material, and this automobile mat 1 is laid on top of a carpet 3 laid on the upper surface of a floor panel 2. This prevents moisture A such as rainwater and snow adhering to the shoes of the occupant from directly dripping onto the carpet 3.

A hollow part 4 is provided inside the automobile mat l, and the hollow part 4 and the lower surface thereof are communicated through a drain port 5. The drain port 5 is provided to protrude from the lower surface side of the car mat L, and when it is laid on the carpet 3, it is inserted into the drain hole 6 provided in the floor panel 2, and the water A that has flowed into the hollow part 4 is drained. It is designed to be led out from the opening 5 to a drainage hole 6 of the floor panel 2. Further, the hollow part 4 and the upper surface of the automobile mat l are communicated with each other by a plurality of water introduction lowers, so that the water A dripping onto the upper surface is introduced into the hollow part 4 through the water introduction lowers. .

Although a plurality of water introduction lowers are formed on the upper part of the automobile mat 1, they are not formed directly above the drain port 5, but are all provided at positions offset from the drain port 5.

In the above configuration, when moisture A such as rainwater or snow drips onto the upper surface of the car mat 1, the moisture A passes through the water introduction lower, flows into the hollow part 4, and then passes through the drain port 5 from the hollow part 4. The water is then led out to a drainage hole 6 provided in the floor panel 2.

In the case of this embodiment, since a plurality of water introduction lowers communicating with the hollow part 4 are formed on the upper surface, the moisture A dropped on the upper surface of the automobile mat l immediately flows into the hollow part 4, and the water on the upper surface is Handling improves sex.

In addition, when the vehicle is running, the drain hole 6 of the floor panel 2
Moisture A such as rainwater may flow back forcefully,
In the case of this car mat 1, since the drain port 5 and all the water introduction lowers are arranged at offset positions, even if moisture A flows forcefully into the drain port 5 from the drain hole 6, it will not flow. Moisture A only hits the upper wall 4a of the hollow part 4 and does not flow out from the water introduction lower into the vehicle interior. After temporarily staying in the hollow part 4, it flows out of the vehicle again through the drain port 5 and the drain hole 6. It is discharged. In addition, 13 in the figure is a reinforcing member that holds the hollow part 4.

Next, second to fourth embodiments will be described. In addition, 1st.
The same parts as in Example 2 shown in Fig. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.
Some duplicate explanations will be omitted.

In the case of the second embodiment shown in Figure 3.4, the car mat 1
01 is equipped with a hollow part 4, a drain port 5 communicating the hollow part 4 with the lower surface, and a plurality of water introduction lowers communicating the hollow part 4 with the upper surface, similar to those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. There is. All of the water introduction lowers are arranged at offset positions with respect to the drain port 5, similar to the one shown in FIG. 1.2, but the difference is that a slope 8 is formed on the peripheral edge thereof.

This automobile mat 101 basically functions in the same way as the one shown in FIGS. Become good.

In addition, in the case of the third embodiment shown in Fig. 5.6, the automobile mat 201 has a hollow part 4 similar to that shown in Fig. 1.2.
．． Drain port 5. It is equipped with a water introduction lower, but there are 9 protrusions on the bottom surface.
By providing an inclined IO on the bottom wall surface of the hollow part 4, the water introduction lower is formed in the shape of a long hole, and the water AJ (the entire dripping upper surface is tilted toward the water introduction lower direction). The difference is in how they are made.

In the case of this automobile mat 201, the water introduction lower is formed in the shape of a long hole, and the entire upper surface on which the moisture A drips is inclined toward the water introduction lower, so that the water can be drained well on the upper surface. Since the bottom wall of the hollow portion 4 is sloped, drainage performance within the hollow portion 4 is also improved.

Furthermore, in the case of the fourth embodiment shown in Figs. 7 to 9, the car mat 301 has almost the same basic configuration as that shown in Fig. 5.6, but two water introduction lowers are provided and the upper surface To,
The difference is that an ill for guiding water and a slope 12 for collecting the dropped water A into the water introduction lower part are formed.

In the case of this automobile mat 301, since the number of water introduction lowers is not large, it takes time for the moisture A dripping on the top surface to be introduced into the hollow part 4, but the moisture dripping on the top surface immediately flows into the grooves. 11, so that the area where the shoes of the occupants and their luggage come into contact with water will have good drainage. Further, the unevenness on the upper surface formed by the grooves 11 also functions to remove mud, snow, etc. from the shoes of the occupant.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention forms a hollow part that communicates with the drainage port, and also forms a water inlet that communicates the upper surface and the hollow part at a position offset from the drainage port, thereby improving the drainage hole of the vehicle body. Since the water that has flowed back forcefully is temporarily retained in the hollow part, it is possible to reliably prevent the water that has flowed back from flowing to the upper surface of the mat, although it has an extremely simple structure. In addition, the structure is such that the water on the top surface of the mat that has flowed into the water inlet is first guided into the hollow part and then drained from there to the drain port, so the water inlet is designed with consideration to the aesthetics of the interior and the nature of the water side in the passenger compartment. It becomes possible to form the required number of layers at desired positions.
