Description

 The invention relates to a device for cleaning shoes, namely, floor mats, rugs and grilles with brushes.

 Known are foot mats assembled from wooden planks with brushes by means of nails, screws or screw connections (see the advertising booklet of the Nizhny Novgorod brush-brush enterprise “Traditional quality of 80 years.” - Nizhny Novgorod .: Publishing House Dekom. - 2000).

 Known rugs have constant dimensions and shape, which cannot be changed at the request of the consumer in accordance with the shape and size of the doorways and entrance rooms. This discrepancy allows visitors to bypass the rug, which reduces its effectiveness and creates a dangerous inconvenience, as there is an opportunity to stumble. The constant movement through the mat and the moisture collected from the shoes weaken the fasteners, which, acting on the outer surface, damage the shoes. The known design is massive, prone to moisture accumulation, which makes it difficult to clean the room, cleaning and washing the mat itself. The mat has a high complexity of assembly.

 Closest to the proposed solution is the front brush adopted for the prototype (see Faleev E.V., Shabadash L.Z. Production of brushes. M: All-Union Cooperative Publishing House. - 1948. - P.77, Fig. 64).

 The front brush according to this decision is assembled from three brushes and is equipped with a structural element for collecting dirt, made in the form of a horizontally mounted plate. If necessary, several ceremonial brushes can be assembled into a block by mounting brackets to a common frame or floor. The product is characterized by the above disadvantages of the analogue.

 The problem solved by the invention is to make the running mat universal, increase the efficiency of shoe cleaning and dirt collection, facilitate washing and increase the safety of the carpet, reduce its weight and the complexity of production.

 The technical result from the use of the invention consists in the ability to assemble or change the shape (transform) and dimensions of the rug in accordance with the size and shape of the entrance rooms and doorways, the exclusion of dangerous structural elements, reducing the weight and complexity of the assembly and washing of the kit brushes.

 This result is achieved by the fact that in a collapsible mat made of a set of brushes with structural elements and holes for collecting dirt, plastic brushes are connected in the sizes and configurations necessary for the consumer by means of pin joints, and the pins and holes for them are cast in brush blocks with the possibility of alignment with the corresponding holes and pins of the mating brushes. In addition, structural elements for collecting dirt are cast in brush pads in the form of spikes located next to the holes.

 In FIG. 1 shows a preferred brush design from the kit of the proposed transformer mat; figure 2 - connection of several brushes of the kit; figure 3 is a variant of the assembly of the mat.

 The brush of the transformer mat contains a plastic block 1, equipped with bristle bushes 2, conical spikes 3, holes for collecting dirt 4, connecting pins 5 and holes for pins 6. The pins 5 and holes 6 are located on the contour of the block.

 The transforming mat is applied and operates as follows.

 The number of brushes in the kit and the configuration of the mat are selected by the consumer in accordance with the size and shape of the doorways and entrance rooms. The brushes are assembled into the mat of the desired configuration by means of pins 5 and holes 6. When people move through the mat, the shoes are cleaned with bristles 2 and spikes 6. Dust and dirt removed from the shoes are poured into the holes 4. If necessary, the mat is easily disassembled, its brushes are easy to clean and assembled in a different configuration.

 The industrial applicability of the invention is confirmed by the production and use of full-scale samples in the Nizhny Novgorod Brush-Brush Enterprise LLC. The proposed technical solution has shown its consumer appeal and competitiveness.
