Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tatami carpet. More specifically, by strongly bonding the edges of the tatami mat to the edges of the base, and by strongly bonding the components at the edges of the tatami mat (for example, grass equivalent members and cotton threads), the Tatami carpet It relates to a tatami carpet that does not have to worry about the edges being released.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional tatami mats, tatami mats made of woven grass with cotton thread are sewn on the tatami floor where rice straw is sewn with hemp thread, using hemp thread at the edges thereof.
The edge seam is covered with a cloth edge.

On the other hand, with the recent westernization of houses, rooms between boards have become preferred. In many cases, tatami mats are laid on the entire surface or in an appropriate range even between the boards to make it easy to relax. In this case, the conventional Japanese-style tatami mats are too large or expensive.
In addition, the dark-colored fabric edges are sewn, which makes the Western-style rooms unbalanced and often disliked. However, simply cutting conventional tatami mats into small dimensions is inconvenient because grass and cotton thread are unwound from the edges, especially from the tatami mat edges.

Recently, in order to solve such a problem, a small-sized tatami mat is not used with a cloth edge, but as shown in FIG. It is manufactured by sewing around.

[0005] However, such tatami mats are expensive because of the need for human manual work like conventional tatami mats.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tatami carpet which is inexpensive, easy to use, and in which the edges of the tatami mat surface are not unraveled.

[0007]

The tatami carpet of the present invention comprises a base, a tatami mat superimposed on the surface of the base,
It is made up of components of the tatami table, which penetrate into the vicinity of the periphery of the tatami table superposed on the surface of the base, and an adhesive bonding the tatami table and the base.

Accordingly, the tatami carpet of the present invention
Not only is the edge of the tatami mat firmly adhered to the edge of the base, but also the components at the edges of the tatami mat (eg, grass equivalent members and cotton threads) are firmly adhered to each other. As a result, there is no fear that the edge of the tatami carpet will come off. It should be noted that rush equivalent members include rush and synthetic resin tubes.

In the case of a tatami carpet in which the base is formed of a foamed resin, the adhesion between the tatami mat and the base at the edge is improved, and the entire tatami carpet is lightweight and flexible, so that it is easy to handle. preferable.
As the foamed resin, polyethylene or the like is preferably used.

[0010] Further, in a tatami carpet in which the grass equivalent member of the tatami mat is formed of a tube made of a soft synthetic resin, the adhesion between the tubes is improved and the life of the tatami mat is extended, which is preferable. .

In the case of a tatami carpet in which the adhesive is mainly composed of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based resin, the adhesive after drying is moderately flexible and adapts to the flexibility of the tatami mat. Is preferred.

In addition, in the case of a tatami carpet in which the tatami mat is adhered to the surface of the base with an adhesive, the tatami mat does not float from the surface of the base, and furthermore, the tatami mat is affixed to a certain extent by the adhesive. The relative displacement between the tatami mat and the base is possible. Therefore, wrinkles of the tatami mat can be prevented from being generated even when the tatami mat is heated in a drying step or the like in a manufacturing stage.

The tatami carpet in which the tatami mat is superimposed on both sides of the base in the same manner as described above has a so-called reversible configuration, so that when one side is roughened by use, the other side is used. If the front and back surfaces are made different colors, the interior of the room can be provided with various colors by a plurality of small-sized tatami carpets.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a tatami carpet of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the tatami carpet of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing a state in a manufacturing process of the tatami carpet of FIG.

A tatami carpet 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a tatami mat 3 adhered to the entire upper surface of a base 2 with an adhesive. Further, a transparent adhesive B is penetrated into the periphery of the attached tatami mat 3 and the base 2, so that the grass or synthetic resin tube, which is a component of the tatami mat 3, and the cotton thread are strongly adhered. At the same time, the tatami table 3 and the base 2 are also strongly bonded. As a result, Tatami carpet 1
Of the tatami table 3 is prevented from being unraveled at the periphery of the tatami mat. FIG. 1 exemplifies a square tatami carpet 1 having a side of 45 cm, and a plurality of the tatami carpets 1 are spread over a predetermined area for use.

The base 2 is formed from a polyethylene foam into a plate having a thickness of about 5 to 10 mm. The thickness and the material of the base are not limited to those described above, and may be further increased, or the material may be harder. However, the use of the polyethylene foam having the above-mentioned thickness is convenient because it is lightweight and can maintain the tatami table 1 well, and a larger area tatami carpet can be wound around a roll in the production stage.

The tatami mat 3 is obtained by forming a polypropylene into a tube shape to resemble grass and knitting it with a cotton thread in the same manner as a conventional tatami mat. Therefore, since various colorings are possible, a tatami mat that matches a Western-style room can be easily obtained.

In the present embodiment, the width of the adhesive B applied is about 10 mm from the edge of the tatami carpet 1, but is not limited to this width. However, when the thickness is 5 mm or less, the bonding performance is low.

As the adhesive B, an ethylene vinyl alcohol resin is used. If this is applied and permeated from the surface side near the periphery of the tatami table 3 and dried, the tatami table 3 and the base 2 can be strongly adhered without becoming impaired by the aesthetic appearance of the tatami carpet 1.

Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the tatami carpet 1 will be described.

First, a base having a release paper having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side adhered thereto and a tatami mat having substantially the same dimensions as the base are prepared. In general, the tatami mat and the base are each long and are wound on rolls. While peeling off the release paper, the base is pressed against and adhered to the tatami mat with rollers.
The tatami carpet material having the tatami mat adhered to the base is dried in a drying oven or naturally.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the molten adhesive B is flowed out from the nozzle N, and is applied in a range of about 20 mm in width along the periphery of the tatami carpet material 11. The adhesive then penetrates into the tatami mat itself and between the tatami mat and the base. This adhesive may be dried in a drying oven, or may be naturally dried. Normally, the tatami mat in this state is wound around a roll and stored. The application of the adhesive is not limited to being performed by automatically flowing out from the nozzle, but may be performed by brush coating.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the molten adhesive B is poured out of the nozzle N in the same manner as described above, and the adhesive is linearly applied to the tatami carpet material 11 with a pitch of about 20 mm at a pitch specified by the user. Apply from the tatami table 3 side and dry. Then, the center of the adhesive applied portion is cut by a roll cutter or a press cutter. At this time, the unnecessary portion 11a on the periphery of the tatami carpet material 11 is also removed.
That is, trimming is performed simultaneously.

As described above, the tatami carpet 1 shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured.

The tatami carpet material 11 does not need to be stored in the state shown in FIG. 2, but may be stored, for example, after applying an adhesive at a predetermined pitch in advance. For example, 45 cm for a 180 cm wide tatami carpet material 11
Apply adhesive at pitch, 45cm according to order
It may be cut to an integral multiple of the size and sold and used. Moreover, you may sell as a carpet with a large area.

As described above, since the base 2 and the tatami table 3 are previously adhered by the adhesive layer, the tatami table 3 does not float off the base 2, so that wrinkling is prevented.

In the present embodiment, the tatami carpet 1 in which the tatami mat 3 is adhered to only one surface of the base 2 is exemplified.
The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, a tatami mat may be attached to both sides of the base 2 by the same method.

In this embodiment, the adhesive is applied on the surface of the tatami carpet material 11 in a grid pattern and cut along the applied portion. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, various shapes such as a polygonal shape such as a regular hexagon or a regular triangle, or a circular shape are possible. For example, the shape may resemble a jigsaw puzzle.

Further, the tatami mat 3 may be attached to both sides of the base 2 by the above-described method. Then, it becomes a reversible type tatami carpet.

In the case where the tatami mat is adhered to only one surface of the base 2, if an adhesive is applied to the other surface and the release paper is adhered, the surface is stably maintained on a flooring or the like. Can be laid.

[0032]

According to the present invention, a cloth edge around the tatami mat is not required, and a process of winding the tatami mat to the back of the tatami floor and sewing the tatami mat is not required. Prevented but realized. Moreover, this tatami carpet is lightweight and easy to use.
