Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) This invention relates to rugs such as carpets, rugs, and tile carpets.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when carpets and other rugs are used in offices, cords of electrical appliances, telephone lines, etc.
The TV antenna wire was placed under the rug and ran under the floor, a hole was cut through the rug, and a ring-shaped metal fitting was used to secure the wire around the hole, leading it out of the rug through the hole. However, it was time-consuming work to replace the wiring under the floor, and it was extremely troublesome to replace the wiring as needed. Therefore, it has been difficult to change the wiring such as cords when redecorating a room or the like. Furthermore, the holes in the rug impair the aesthetic appearance of the carpet, and the thickness of the cords causes the surface of the rug to bulge, making it difficult to feel comfortable in use.

In addition, a method of running cords, etc. over the rugs has been adopted, but in the same way as above, the aesthetic appearance of the rugs is spoiled, and pedestrians can get their feet caught on the cords, making it difficult to walk, resulting in poor usability. There was a defect.

In order to solve the above-mentioned defects, there is a tile carpet disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-6045. This tile carpet has a groove for wiring formed in the backing layer, and a cord or the like is passed through the groove. However, it is extremely troublesome to lay a large number of tile carpets throughout a room so that the grooves communicate with each other, and it is also troublesome to pass a cord or the like through the grooves after the carpet has been laid.

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) As mentioned above, this invention solves the problems that not only the aesthetic appearance is impaired, but the usability is poor, and furthermore, it is difficult to install and the wiring of cords etc. is troublesome. This is what I am trying to do.

Structure of the invention (means to solve the problem) In order to solve the above problems, this invention
A backing layer having guide grooves extending in multiple directions for guiding electrical cords and the like is provided on the soft back surface, and the backing layer is made of a hard resin material such as vinyl chloride, polypropylene, asphalt, etc.

(Function) This invention adopts the above-described means, so that the backing material exerts a buffering effect between the backing layer and the base fabric, so that the hardness of the backing layer is not transmitted to the foot.

Moreover, a single rug can be turned over and the rug can be laid over the entire floor after electrical cords and the like are fixed in the guide groove in a desired wiring state.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In Fig. 1, 1 indicates the entire carpet;
2 is the base fabric 2 of the carpet 1. 3 is the same base fabric 2
The pile 4 is a backing material made of resin or rubber that is backed on the back surface of the base fabric 2.

A backing layer 5 is attached to the back surface of the backing material 4 and is made of a hard resin material such as polypropylene, asphalt, or vinyl chloride. Reference numeral 6 denotes a guide groove cut in the back surface of the backing layer 5 so as to extend in multiple directions, and is for passing the electric cord C and the like.

Now, the operation of the carpet 1 constructed as described above will be explained below.

FIG. 2 shows the carpet 1 installed indoors. In this state, an electric cord C or the like of an electric appliance such as a desk D placed arbitrarily in the room extends from the back side edge of the carpet 1 through the guide groove 6 to the power source S.

Therefore, there is no need to make a hole in this carpet 1, and the electrical cord C is inserted into the guide groove 6 of the backing layer 5.
Unlike conventional products, the surface of the carpet 1 does not bulge due to the thickness of the electrical cord C. Therefore, pedestrians can walk on the carpet 1 without tripping over it. Also,
The backing material 4 provided between the backing layer 5 and the base fabric 2 exhibits an excellent cushioning effect, and the hardness of the backing layer 5 is not transmitted to the feet of pedestrians. Therefore, an excellent feeling of use can be obtained.

Furthermore, since the backing layer 5 is made of hard resin, even if a heavy object is placed on the carpet 1, the backing layer 5 will not be crushed and the guide groove 6 will not be blocked.

In addition, since the guide grooves 6 of the backing layer 5 can be formed in any number, shape, and direction when molding the backing layer 5, manufacturing is easy.

To pass the electrical cord C through the guide groove 6 of the carpet 1 described above, turn the carpet 1 inside out.
After the electrical cord C is held and fixed in the desired wiring state within the guide groove 6, the carpet 1 is laid. Therefore, the wiring of the electrical cord C is very easy. Since the guide groove 6 extends in multiple directions,
Wiring can be set freely, and the wiring of electrical cord C can be freely changed when redecorating the room.

Effects of the invention As detailed above, this invention provides a backing layer with guide grooves extending in multiple directions for guiding electrical cords, etc. to the back surface of the backing material, and the backing layer is made of vinyl chloride, polypropylene, asphalt, etc. By being made of hard resin materials such as
It is possible to maintain an excellent appearance and a comfortable feeling of use, and furthermore, it exhibits excellent effects such as easy installation and wiring of cords and the like.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is an enlarged sectional view showing this invention embodied in a carpet, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the carpet in use. Base fabric 2, pile 3, backing material 4, guide groove 6, electrical cord C.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In one carpet formed by planting a pile 3 on a base fabric 2 and backing a soft backing material 4 on the back side of the base fabric 2, an electrical cord C etc. is connected to the back side of the soft backing material 4. A rug such as a carpet, characterized in that a backing layer 5 having guide grooves 6 extending in multiple directions for guiding the carpet is provided, and the backing layer 5 is made of a hard resin material such as vinyl chloride, polypropylene, asphalt or the like.
