Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is mainly applied to entrances of buildings where many people come and go, such as restaurants, beauty salons, hospitals, etc., where it is preferable to avoid introducing mud, dust, etc. as much as possible. This relates to a mat that is placed in a building and removes and collects mud, dust, etc. stuck to the shoes of people coming in from outside.

[Conventional technology]

In addition to the above-mentioned buildings, mats are placed at the entrances of companies, offices, and households to remove mud, dust, etc. that adhere to footwear and are brought in from the outside. Conventional mats of this type include, for example, mats made from palm fibers, and mats made from bundles of palm fibers wrapped in wire.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

With the conventional mats mentioned above, mud, dust, etc. that have fallen from footwear remain and accumulate on the surface, so they must be replaced and cleaned frequently, especially on rural roads and undeveloped areas. In some cases, the degree of dirt is so great that cleaning must be done more frequently, which is very troublesome.

The present invention was made to solve such problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has a two-layer structure with a gap in the middle, which allows the upper layer pine and the lower layer pine to be separated, and the upper layer pine is provided with a wiping surface over the entire surface, and has a number of drop holes leading to the gap. , and also install a suction pipe directed outward from the void,
The above-mentioned problem was solved with a mat whose suction pipe is equipped with a vacuum cleaner that operates as the automatic door opens and closes.

[Effect]

In the above configuration, the mud, etc. that is removed from the footwear by the wiping surface falls into the gap from the drop hole due to its own weight or is suctioned, and is sucked and collected from the suction pipe by a vacuum cleaner operated by tread pressure. be done.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 in the figure is the upper layer of pine, and over the entire surface area,
A brush surface or other wiping surface 2 is formed with bristles or other brush materials made of natural fibers or artificial fibers. In addition, numerous drop holes 3 are provided throughout the entire surface of the upper pine 1. 4 is the lower pine, upper pine 1
Similarly, it is made of a material with appropriate cushioning properties.
The lower pine 4 is fixed to the back side of the upper pine 1 while maintaining a sealed gap 5. To do this, for example, the peripheries of the upper pine 1 and the lower pine 4 are made to stand up, and a Combine unevenness.
The upper mat 1 and the lower mat 4 are thus made separable. In order to reliably form the void 5, a spacer 6 may be provided protruding from one or both of the upper mat 1 and the lower mat 4.
7 is a suction pipe installed outward from the gap 5;
A general vacuum cleaner can be connected there. Alternatively, a dedicated small vacuum cleaner 8 may be installed. In that case, the small vacuum cleaner 8 is operated when the automatic door is opened and closed. By doing so, mud and the like will be collected every time a person enters and exits, and mud and the like will not accumulate in the void 5. Cleaning inside the gap 5 is done using the upper layer pine 1.
This is done by removing it from the lower matte 4.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is as described above, by placing it at the entrance of a building, mud etc. that have fallen from footwear can be collected without leaving it on the wiping surface, and the mat surface does not need to be cleaned frequently and can be used indoors. Since the mat can be kept in a clean state, it is possible to obtain mats that are ideal for restaurants, beauty salons, hospitals, etc.
