BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mat used for automobiles, entrances, etc.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 11 is a plan view of a conventional mat, and FIG.
Reference numerals 2 and 13 are longitudinal perspective views of relevant parts.

Most of the conventional mats M are simply made of rubber or soft polyvinyl chloride. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a carpet 2 is attached to the surface of the lower surface sheet 1, or as shown in FIG.
In some cases, the surface of the lower surface sheet 1 is decorated with irregularities 3 as a pattern.

[0004]

However, recent automobiles tend to have a large interior volume, and the drive wheels are changing from two wheels to four wheels 4WD. for that reason,
The unevenness of the floor of a car is becoming very large.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 14, the heater duct 4 projects onto the floor 5, or the projection 6 extends onto the floor 5.
If there is, conventionally, the one end 7 of the mat M is cut off, the other end 8 jumps up, sand enters the place, and the appearance becomes poor. Further, when a conventional soft flat mat M is laid on a car having a large interior volume and a large floor unevenness, the mat M does not have sufficient adaptability to the unevenness as shown in FIGS. Since it moves back and forth, right and left, and rises, there is a drawback that it may be an obstacle for the driver or the like while driving.

In view of the above problems, the present invention is applicable to an automobile having a light weight and low cost structure, a large interior volume, and a large floor unevenness. Therefore, any shape of the automobile floor can be manually operated. The object of the present invention is to provide a mat for an automobile or the like that can be adapted and, once set in the shape, retains the shape and does not return to its original shape unless a special force is applied to the mat.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The problem solving means according to the present invention is to insert a mat body 13, a peripheral body 14 arranged on the outer periphery of the mat body 13, and a central portion of the mat body 13 in plan view. A shape-retaining plate 15 is provided, and metal members that can be plastically deformed by hand are used as the peripheral body 14 and the shape-retaining plate 15, respectively, and the peripheral body 14 and the shape-retaining plate 15 are separated from each other. It has been arranged.

[0008]

In the above problem solving means, even in the case of an automobile having a large interior volume and a large floor irregularity, the peripheral body 14 and the shape-retaining plate 15 are plastically deformed by hand to form an outer periphery of the mat M1. Any of the central portions can be held in an arbitrary shape according to the shape of the floor. Therefore, it is possible to secure the shape retaining property over the entire mat M1.

Here, even if the peripheral body 14 and the shape-retaining plate 15 are arranged apart from each other, the shape-retaining property can be ensured over the entire mat M1 as described above, so that the metal member can be omitted in the separated portion. .

【Example】

(First Embodiment) FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2
FIG. 3 is a partially sectional plan view of this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal perspective view of a main part of this embodiment.

As shown in the figure, a mat for an automobile or the like according to this embodiment has a mat body 13 composed of a bottom sheet 11 of synthetic resin or rubber product and a carpet 12, and a peripheral edge of the mat body 13 sandwiched between the mat body 13. The body 14 and
In the central portion of the mat body 13 in plan view, a metal porous plate 15 (for example, a shape-retaining plate that can be plastically deformed by hand) (for example,
An iron plate having a thickness of 0.3 mm) is inserted.

As the metal perforated plate 15, a punching plate 16 as shown in FIG. 1 or a wire net 17 as shown in FIG. 2 is used. The surface of the punching plate 16 or the wire net 17 is EV
A, DVC, polyurethane, acrylic or other plastic resin is coated, and the coated product is sandwiched between the lower surface sheet 11 and the carpet 12 and bonded with an adhesive or heat-sealed. . The metal perforated plate 15
The reason for making the porous state is to allow the adhesive to enter into the pores and further improve the weldability of the lower surface sheet 11 and the like.

Further, the peripheral shape body 14 has a metallic shape-retaining material 1
8 are included. The metal shape retainer 18 is a perforated metal plate 15.
Similarly, it is made of aluminum, copper, or the like, and is formed into a substantially U-shape that can be plastically deformed by hand over its entire length. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the tip portion 14a of the metal shape retention material 18 is pressed onto the mat body 13 so as not to be pulled out after being fitted onto the outer periphery of the mat body 13.

Here, the shape retaining plate 15 is attached to the mat body 13
If it is installed over the entire surface of the vehicle, the weight of the mat will be increased, which will not meet the demand for weight reduction of the entire vehicle, and the cost of parts will be high. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the peripheral body 14 and the shape-retaining plate 15 are arranged so as to be separated from each other, whereby a metal member is omitted in the separated portion, and the weight and the cost of parts are reduced. .

In the mat M1 having the above structure, even in the case of an automobile having a large interior volume and a large floor irregularity, the peripheral body 14 includes the metal shape retainer 18 which can be plastically deformed by hand. Moreover, by inserting the metal perforated plate 15 that can be plastically deformed by hand into the central portion of the mat body 13 in plan view, the mat M1 can be held in an arbitrary shape. Therefore, as shown in FIGS.
It is possible to conform to the unevenness of 9 and maintain the shape. Also, when washing it with a mat or washing it with a brush,
It can be laid flat so it can be washed as easily as a conventional mat.
