[Industrial applications]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is a rug used for vehicles such as passenger planes and train cars, or for toilets and washrooms (hereinafter collectively referred to as “toilet”) used by an unspecified number of people such as stations, meeting places, restaurants, etc. The present invention relates to a rug made of a disposable non-woven mat that can be detachably mounted on a mat base.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, passengers, trains such as the Shinkansen, etc., or toilets at stations, meeting places, restaurants, etc., are used by an unspecified number of people, so they are frequently used, and due to poor manners, the floor surface is also helped. It is often polluted and has a bad odor. For this reason, ventilation fans are installed at these locations to improve ventilation, and containers that are filled with deodorants such as activated carbon and various fragrances are attached to the wall surface to eliminate odors. The floor is cleaned with water.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, even with the above-mentioned toilets, which have many users, this is not enough and gives off a bad odor, which gives users a discomfort.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, in order to reduce and remove the bad smell and uncleanness of such a frequently used toilet, the male member of the surface fastener is provided at an appropriate position on the surface of the mat base laid on the floor of these places. A non-woven mat to be fixed is placed on top of it, and the fluff or loop on the bottom of the mat is engaged with the male member to fix the mat to the mat base surface, and the user has soiled the mat. If this is the case, the solution is to remove the mat from the mat base at any time, discard it, and replace it with a new mat.

The male member of the hook-and-loop fastener fixed to the surface of the mat base used in the present invention is a "comparatively thick thermoplastic composite" as used in the rug described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-15645. "A tape-shaped material having a large number of fiber hooks on its surface" or "Melting the tip of a pile of relatively thick thermoplastic synthetic fiber as shown in FIG. 3 of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-20605. It is a tape-like object with a large number of expanded mushroom-shaped locking materials densely planted. "

These male members are fixed in place on the surface of a rubber mat base such as those used in shoe-wiping mats. The fixing means may be embedded in the mat base, or may be fixed by an appropriate means such as adhesion with an adhesive or fusion with a hot melt adhesive.

Disposable mats used in the present invention include at least the mat base side (bottom surface) of cotton, natural fibers such as pulp, regenerated fiber fibers such as rayon staple, polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene. It is a nonwoven fabric manufactured by a wet or dry method using synthetic fibers such as. If the fibers forming the mat are thinner than the “relatively thick synthetic fibers” forming the male member, the engagement with the male member will be good.

As for the mat, a relatively bulky nonwoven fabric has better engagement with the male member. In order to manufacture such a mat, it is preferable that the crimped fibers are entangled by a needle punching method or the like and, if necessary, firmly bonded to each other with a synthetic resin binder. It is also possible to lightly needle punch and entangle the fibers forming the mat. Furthermore, for non-woven fabrics manufactured by the wet method that do not have fluffs or loops that engage with male members, there are many non-woven fabrics with excellent male member engaging properties, such as knitted fabrics and Russell weaves. The loop fastener may be laminated, or the female member of the hook-and-loop fastener may be attached to the bottom surface of the nonwoven fabric at a position where it engages with the male member of the hook-and-loop fastener.

In order to improve the sterilization and deodorizing effects in the toilet, it is necessary to pretreat the fiber or mat with a bactericidal agent, a deodorant or a fragrance, or a microencapsulating agent. Those fixed with a synthetic resin binder can also be used (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-43243 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-21665). It is also possible to carry a deodorant and the like on the mat when performing light needle punching to give the mat a deodorizing effect (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-21664). Furthermore, mats used for passenger aircraft toilets should be treated with a flame retardant. However, since this mat is used after being discarded, it does not slip off the nonwoven fabric due to strong engagement with the male member of the hook-and-loop fastener, and it is practical enough to be used practically. Nonwoven fabric is preferably used.

As for the size of the mat, if the floor surface of the toilet is small, one mat may cover the floor surface, but from the viewpoint of easy replacement work and handling, it is described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-15645. It is used as a piece with an appropriate size and shape like the non-woven fabric used for rugs. When cleaning and maintenance are required in a short time, such as passenger planes and Shinkansen toilets, it is easier to handle and work more efficiently when the mat is a piece of appropriate size.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the present invention. A rubber mat base is laid on the floor surface of a toilet, and a male member of a surface fastener is embedded in the surface of the mat base. Further, a disposable non-woven mat is placed on the mat base, and the fibers (fluffs and loops) on the bottom surface of the mat are engaged with the male member of the surface fastener on the mat base. Reference numeral 1 is a disposable mat, 2 is a mat base, 3 and 3'are male members of a surface fastener embedded in the mat base, and 4 is a floor surface.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As explained above, the rug of the present invention is laid on the floor surface of a toilet used by an unspecified number of people such as vehicles or restaurants, and the mat is quickly replaced depending on how dirty it is. It can be kept clean and can be comfortably used by users. Moreover, since the mats are discarded, cleaning work such as toilets can be done easily and in a short time, which is useful for labor saving.
