Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rubber mat, and more specifically, to a rubber mat that can be used to prevent damage to lawns at golf courses, etc., and to prevent slipping at marine product processing plants, etc.

At the golf course, the golfer's spikes cause
Additionally, mats are placed along the sides of each hole on a golf course to prevent damage to the grass growing on the golf course due to the driving of golf equipment transport vehicles and maintenance vehicles. A rubber sheet is used as such a mat. However, simply laying a sheet-like material can serve as a taxiway, but
Grass cannot grow under it. Further, as pine for the purpose of protecting lawns, there are, for example, those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The figure shows the bottom surface of such a pine, where a large number of circular holes 1, 1...1 are formed and the surroundings of each circular hole 1, 1...1 are measured from a substrate 2 made mainly of synthetic resin. Independent support legs 3, 3...
...3 stands out. If the pine constructed in this way is placed so that the support legs 3, 3...3 are in contact with the grass surface, the grass can grow through the circular holes 1, 1...1 to the top surface of the substrate 2, and the spikes Since the wheels of golf carts and golf carts pass over the top surface of the substrate 2, damage to the lawn can be prevented. However, because these pine trees are lightweight, they are often blown away by strong winds or displaced from their intended positions by passing vehicles, so they often require patrolling. Furthermore, they lack the strength to withstand the shifting loads and impacts of passing cars, so they often break, and they also become brittle during temperature changes, especially in the coldest months, making them difficult to use for long periods of time. In addition, in seafood processing plants, fish and shellfish are often dissected using water on concrete floors, so the floor surface is slippery due to scattering of fish oil and offal and running water, and in winter, the floor surface is slippery. It was extremely difficult to prevent the weather from getting cold. Therefore, even if rubber sheets or regular rubber mats were laid on the floor, it was difficult to prevent slipping and cooling, and the problem was that water drained poorly.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional rubber mats, and to create a versatile mat that has appropriate strength and weight, has excellent durability and water resistance, and can also be used to prevent slipping and cooling. Our goal is to provide rubber mats.

In order to achieve the above object, the rubber mat according to the present invention includes a flat surface and a lattice-shaped body integrally formed on one side of this plane using a material mainly composed of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, and surrounded by the lattice-shaped body. Openings are provided in each plane so that the planes remain as reinforcing edges of the lattice body at each corner where the vertical and horizontal members constituting the lattice body intersect.

The vertical members and horizontal members that constitute the lattice-like body are:
Both can be formed so that wide members and narrow members are alternately located.

The opening may be a circle approximately inscribed in the grid-like body.

The following is a third embodiment of the rubber mat according to the present invention.
This will be explained with reference to FIGS.

The rubber mat according to the present invention is made using natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the main raw material. The overall shape is a lattice-like body 5 having a bottom plate 4, and a rectangular cylindrical void 8 is formed between vertical members 6 and horizontal members 7 forming the lattice. The height (thickness) of this plate is approximately 15 mm. Both the vertical member 6 and the horizontal member 7 are wide members 6a and 7a (approximately 15 mm).
and the narrow members 6b, 7b (approximately 10 mm) are arranged alternately to form a lattice-like structure.
The planar shape of the lattice-like body 5 is a shape in which fields are continuous in the vertical and horizontal directions. A circular hole 9 having the same diameter as one side of the bottom surface of the rectangular tube is punched in the bottom surface of the rectangular tube-shaped gap 8 of the grid plate 5. Therefore, the peripheral edge 10 of the punched circular hole 9 is left attached to the corner where the vertical member 6 and the horizontal member 7 intersect, and serves as a reinforcing member to prevent deformation of the lattice. I am accomplishing it. A lattice plate 5 with circular holes 9 punched out
When viewed from the bottom, as shown in Figure 5, the bottom plate 4
It has a shape in which a large number of circular holes 9, 9...9 are arranged in a row. To form this edge 10, a lattice plate 5
The bottom surface 4 may be punched out after vulcanization, or may be molded integrally at the same time as vulcanization. Further, the punched shape of the bottom plate 4 is not limited to a circular shape, but may be a square shape, a hexagonal shape, etc. In short, the vertical member 6 and the horizontal member 7
An edge may be formed to reinforce the corner where the two intersect.

Note that the thickness of the lattice-like plate 5 and the widths of the vertical members 6 and horizontal members 7 are not limited to the above-mentioned dimensions, and appropriate dimensions can be selected as necessary.

In order to use the rubber mat according to the present invention constructed as described above at a golf course, it must be placed on the path for golfers and the running path for golf carts and maintenance vehicles.
If you lay out the required width of rubber pine mats with the lattice facing up, the weight of the pine mats will blend well with the ground surface, and the grass will grow from the circular holes in the bottom to the top of the lattice boards through the square tubes.

In addition, in order to use this pine at a seafood processing plant, it must be placed so that the bottom plate with rows of circular holes is on the top.
That is, if the required number of mats are laid out on a concrete floor with the planar shape shown in FIG. 5, the lattice-like surfaces of the mats will align with the floor surface due to their own weight and will not shift. When cleaning the floor, just lift the mat.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, reinforcing edges are provided at the corners where the lattices of the lattice-like plate whose main component is rubber intersect. It has good stability and can withstand the running load and impact of spikes, golf carts, work vehicles, etc., and can protect the lawn.

In addition, in workplaces that use water, such as seafood processing plants, using a grid surface as a floor surface allows water to drain well and provides insulation between the concrete floor surface and work vehicles, which is highly effective in preventing slipping and cooling. be.

Furthermore, since the members constituting the lattice-like body are arranged in such a way that wide members and narrow members are arranged alternately, the pattern forms a continuous pattern, which is aesthetically pleasing, saves material costs, and It is possible to maintain sufficient strength without increasing the weight further.

If necessary, it can be colored appropriately to blend well with the surrounding landscape.
