Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To eliminate passenger discomfort caused by water pools inside cars on rainy days or snow days. [Structure] A large number of pores (4) and (4) are formed in a base fabric (3) of a mat body (2) in which a hydrophobic pile (1) is erected and planted, and water on the mat body (2) is formed. So that it can be discharged to the back side of the mat, and the flat water-absorbent core material (8) on the back surface of the mat body (2) and the leak-proof film (10) arranged on the periphery and the lower surface of this absorbent core material. The water storage mat (5) consisting of and was detachably joined so that the water dropped on the mat body (2) was absorbed by the water storage mat (5). [Effect] Even if water drops fall on the mat, water does not accumulate on the main body of the mat, and the absorbed water storage mat can be easily replaced.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle floor mat, and more particularly to a vehicle floor mat having a water storage function on its lower surface.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As is well known, pile fabrics and rubber mats are commonly used as the floor mats of conventional automobiles.Most private cars use carpet-like pile fabrics, and rubber mats are preferred for taxis where many people get on and off on a daily basis. It is used in

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in a taxi where many people get on and off on a daily basis, in case of rain, water adhering to footwear or raindrops dripping from an umbrella will accumulate on the floor mat, which will cause discomfort to the next passenger. .. To eliminate this discomfort, the crew must wipe off the water on the floor mat each time. Especially when it snows, the amount of water that accumulates on the floor mats is large because the snow that has adhered to footwear and umbrellas melts inside the vehicle, and taxi crews operating in snowy areas have difficulty handling the water that accumulates on the floor mats. It is the actual situation. The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by absorbing water that has been dripped onto the floor mat of an automobile through the mat and storing it. That is, the automobile floor mat of the present invention has a large number of pores formed in the base fabric of the mat body on which hydrophobic piles are erected and planted so that water on the mat body can be discharged to the back side of the mat. On the back surface of the mat body, a water storage mat consisting of a flat water-absorbent core material and a leak-proof film arranged on the peripheral and lower surfaces of this absorbent core material is detachably arranged, and water dripping on the mat It was configured to be absorbed by this water storage mat.

In the mat body applied to the present invention, at least the pile of the surface is made of a hydrophobic material such as synthetic resin yarn, tape-shaped film yarn, slit yarn, and a non-water-absorbing backing layer on the back side. Those provided are preferable, and it is economical to use a commercially available artificial grass-like mat. The size of the pores does not need to be specified, but the diameter is about 3 to 8 mm, and 5 to 20 pores may be present in 10 cm ² . The size and shape of the mat body may be appropriately determined, and a square one having a size of 40 to 60 cm × 40 to 60 cm can be preferably applied.

As a water storage mat, the same as a disposable diaper (paper diaper) in which a lower surface and a peripheral edge of an absorbent core material are covered with a leak-proof film and a water-permeable thin surface material sheet is stretched on the upper surface. Those having different structures are preferable, and the surface material sheet is not always necessary. As the water-absorbent core material, for example, crushed pulp, or a mat-like molded product of a mixture of crushed pulp and water-absorbent polymer powder, as used in the above-mentioned paper diaper, is preferable. The apparent thickness of the water storage mat is preferably about 5 to 10 mm, and the size of the water storage mat is approximately the same as that of the mat body described above. The periphery and the lower surface are covered with a leakproof film, and detachably joined to the back surface of the mat body. Good to do. The joining means between the main body of the mat and the water storage mat is not particularly limited, and a double-sided adhesive tape may be attached to the top edge of the leak-proof film of the water storage mat to join them together. It is also possible to apply an adhesive to the peripheral edge of the upper surface and then cover it with a release paper, and remove the release paper at the time of joining so that it can be pressure bonded to the back surface of the mat body.

[0007]

[Action]

 Water drops that have fallen from the footwear or umbrella on the mat body inside the automobile flow between the piles of the mat body and pass through the pores to be guided into the water storage mat. Then, the water droplets are sequentially absorbed by the water-absorbent core material of the water-storable mat and stored without leaking into the vehicle, eliminating the situation where water accumulates on the surface side of the mat body.

【Example】

 Referring to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention, an automobile turf of the present invention has an artificial turf in which hydrophobic piles (1) are erected and planted as shown in FIGS. A large number of pores (4) and (4) are formed in the base cloth (3) of the mat-shaped main body (2) so that the water dropped on the pile (1) and the base cloth (3) flows out to the back side. Nonetheless, the water storage mat (5) is detachably joined to the back surface of the base fabric (3) with an adhesive (6). In this embodiment, a narrow film yarn made of synthetic resin is used for the hydrophobic pile (1), and an open pile having a height of about 15 mm is formed by implanting it on the base cloth (3) by a tufting device. The backing layer (7) is provided on the back surface of the base fabric (3).

The water storage mat (5) has substantially the same size as the mat body (2), and an absorbent core material (8) in which a mixture of crushed pulp and water absorbent polymer powder is formed into a flat shape. , A water-permeable surface material sheet (9) and a lower surface and a leakproof film (10) covering the peripheral edge, and as shown in FIG. 4, on the upper surface of the film (10) covering the peripheral edge. The adhesive (6) is applied, the release paper (11) is superposed on the adhesive (6), and the release paper (11) is released to bond it to the back surface of the mat body (2) as shown in FIG. You can do it.

Then, a water storage mat (5) having an absorbent core material (7) having an apparent thickness of 6 mm is joined to the back surface of the 50 × 50 cm mat body (2) to bond the hydrophobic pile (1). When the water storage capacity was tested by dropping water drops from the side, it was possible to absorb about 2000 cc of water.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the automobile floor mat of the present invention, a large number of pores (4) are formed in the base fabric (3) of the mat body (2) in which the hydrophobic piles (1) are erected and planted. A water storage mat (5) comprising, on the back surface of (3), a flat water-absorbent core material (8) and a leak-proof film (10) arranged on the peripheral edge and the lower surface of the absorbent core material (8). Since it is detachably joined, if it is used by laying it on a conventional rug that is laid inside a taxi car, for example, in the case of rain or snow, water dripping from the footwear or umbrella of passengers Can be discharged from the large number of pores (4) (4) of the mat body (2) and quickly absorbed by the absorbent core material (8) of the water storage mat (5). Moreover, because of its excellent water absorption and storage capacity, water does not accumulate on the surface of the mat body (2) even if it is used for a long time on a rainy or snowy day, and it does not bleed up from the bottom depending on the weight of passengers. .. Therefore, the discomfort of passengers' feet can be eliminated, and since the water storage mat (5) itself is inexpensive and easy to replace, it is particularly effective for taxies in areas with many snowfall days in winter. Demonstrate.
