Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shoe-wiping rug that is placed in entrances, hallways, room entrances, etc.

Conventionally, this type of rug has been used by cutting appropriate pieces of carpet, etc., by pasting the carpet onto a base plate made of synthetic resin, or by using a frame-shaped rug as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1606/1983. A thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet with a protruding edge and a removably fitted rug is used. However, such conventional rugs are still better when placed at the entrance of a room as a door mat, but when used in an entrance, etc., dirt, dust, etc. from shoes when outdoors will adhere directly to the carpet. The rug gets muddy quickly and must therefore be cleaned frequently. Moreover, the damage to the carpet was severe.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of conventional rugs as described above, and provides a shoe-wiping rug that is suitable for both entrance mats and door mats, is easy to care for, and is aesthetically superior. That's true.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the rug consists of a rug such as a carpet and a substrate on which the rug is placed, and a part of the substrate has a mud trap having a large number of independent protrusions. has been established.

It is preferable that the independent protrusions of the mud-shedding part become gradually higher from the periphery toward the center of the rug.

Preferably, the rug is removably secured to the substrate by suitable securing means such as velvet fasteners.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the rug of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line - in FIG. The rug of the present invention consists of a suitable rug material 1 such as a carpet and a substrate 2. The substrate 2 includes a rug placement part 3 on which the rug 1 is placed and a mud removal part 4. A large number of independent protrusions 5 are provided in the mud removal part 4.
is provided. As shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the height of the protrusion 5 gradually increases from the periphery of the rug inward. This will prevent you from tripping over the edge of the rug.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mud-removing parts 4 are formed on all four sides of the square rug. A flat part other than the mud removal part 4 becomes the rug placement part 3.
The dimensions of the rug 1 are the same as or slightly smaller than the above-mentioned placement part 3. Since the contour of the rug placement part 3 is defined by the protrusion 5 of the mud removal part 4, the rug 1
By simply placing the rug on the placing portion 3, the rug 1 can be prevented from shifting. However, suitable fixing means 6 may preferably be provided for removably fixing the rug 1 to the substrate 2. An example of a fixing means is a velvet fastener (so-called magic fastener).
Tape), snap buttons, etc. can be used. In these cases, one half of the fastener or button is attached to the substrate 2, and the other half is attached to the upholstery 1. As another fixing means, hooks or pins may be provided on the base plate to hook and fix the rug.

The substrate 2 and the projections 5 are preferably made of elastic rubber, but they may also be made of synthetic resin, metal, or the like. Further, the protrusion 5 may be formed of a material different from that of the substrate 2, or may be formed integrally with the substrate 2.
The shape of the protrusion may be any structure as long as it can easily remove mud and dust from the sole of the shoe, and may be cylindrical, conical, prismatic, pyramidal, or the like. Furthermore, the density of the protrusions in the mud-shedding portion is appropriately selected so as to be convenient for mud-shedding. As mentioned above, it is preferable that the height of the protrusion increases from the periphery toward the center, but it is even more convenient if the height of the innermost protrusion is approximately equal to the height of the rug 1. .

FIG. 3 is a plan view of another embodiment of the rug of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line -- in FIG. In this embodiment, the mud-removing parts 4 are only provided on two sides of the square rug. In this case, the rug is arranged in such a way that a person passes over the rug in the direction of passing through the two mud removers 4, that is, in the longitudinal direction in FIG. Projections 7 are provided on the remaining two sides. When the fixing means 6 is provided, the projecting edge 7 may not be provided. The embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 is otherwise the same as the first embodiment.

A rug is always provided with a mud-removing part consisting of a large number of independent protrusions in the direction of passage of people passing on it, so mud, dust, etc. attached to shoes can be removed by the many independent protrusions of the mud-removing part. It can be rubbed off. Therefore, the dirt on the rug can be reduced and the number of times the rug must be cleaned can be reduced. Further, mud, dust, etc. left in the mud-dropping section can be easily removed with sweepers, brushes, etc., making cleaning easy. In addition, only the board can be washed with water, and since the periphery of the board is not surrounded by a protruding edge (the second embodiment also has only a part of the protruding edge), water drains easily and dries quickly. .

Since the rug is removable from the substrate, it can be easily replaced if it becomes heavily soiled or damaged.

When the substrate of the rug of the present invention is made of rubber, it adheres closely to the floor surface, so even when the rug is kicked by a foot, it does not move easily and has good stability.
