Definitions

  • the invention relates to a grate bar for doormats, which bar has two legs, which form the walls of a U-profile strip, between which cleaning elements in the form of plastic strips, strip brushes or the like can be arranged and which are provided with passages for tensioning elements.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a doormat consisting of cleaning elements equipped with cleaning elements, which are arranged between intermediate spacers on a flexible clamping element, which is designed without impairing its rollability so that even after long use all grate bars are securely on the Floor should be kept on.
  • the projections provided according to the invention on the grate bars between the passages for the tensioning elements and the free ends of the legs, between which the cleaning elements are inserted, achieve in a simple manner that when the doormats joined together using these grate bars, the grate bars lie slightly inclined on the spacers or the spacing struts exert a positioning force on the grate bars, whereby the grate strives to give its active surface a slightly raised curvature and in particular to press the edge bars against its support surface.
  • the space between the grate bars serves to hold the dirt accumulated during the cleaning of the footwear, provided that the doormat is not arranged above a pit.
  • the distance between the individual grate bars is therefore decisive for the size of the dirt collecting space in the case of a doormat lying on the floor and should not be less than a certain amount.
  • the heels of fashionable shoes, e.g. Penny heels jam in the gaps between the grate bars.
  • the grate bar 8 consists of two legs or walls 1 and 2, which are combined via a bottom 10 to form a U-shaped strip.
  • the walls 1 and 2 have passages 7 in the form of bores. Between the passages 7 and the free upper ends of the walls 1 and 2, projections 13 are provided on their outer surface, which can be designed as webs extending over the entire length of the grate bar 8, as shown in FIG. 1 by dashed lines.
  • the doormat illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 consists of a number of grate bars arranged at right angles to the direction of inspection according to arrow a in the form of U-shaped strips 8.
  • a strip or strip brush 3 of the same length used as the grate bars 8, which thus determines the width of the doormat.
  • the strip brushes 3 rest on the bottom 10 of the grate bar and pass through a continuous slot 12 between the walls 1 and 2 of the grate bar 8 with their bristle tips 11 to such an extent that they grip the footwear to be cleaned when entering the doormat can.
  • This structure of the doormat is provided by a continuous cable pull 5, which is guided through the passages 7 in the grate bars 8 and the spacers 4, namely at a height at which he holds the socket 9 of the strip brushes 3 in contact with the floor 10 the grate bars 8 holds.
  • the cable 5 also detects the two edge strips 6 of the doormat and is anchored to them by screws 16 or the like - with continuous guidance only on one of them.
  • the web-shaped projections 13 on the walls 1 and 2 cause the walls 1 and 2 of the grate bars 8 of a doormat in the area of the slot 12 further from the distance Pieces 4 are removed than in the area of the floor 10, so that the doormat is slightly curved in the unloaded state, as shown in FIG. 3, and the edge strips 6 are held securely on the floor at all times.
  • the doormat When the doormat is walked on, it comes to lie flat on the floor and the projections 13 penetrate into the elastic spacers 4, as a result of which the distance between the grate bars 8 is reduced in the upper region of the doormat and the web-shaped projections 13 lie so closely opposite that they form a support surface for narrow heels, e.g. stiletto heels, of women's shoes. These heels can thus not be clamped between the grate bars 8, so that the doormat assembled using the grate bars according to the invention can be walked on safely by people wearing such shoes.
