Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to lobby equipment for public facilities, and particularly to lobby equipment that improves the service function for guests during rainy weather.

[Conventional technology]

Lobbies of public facilities such as public government buildings, hospitals, hotels, banks, and large stores are equipped with a variety of equipment and supplies to serve guests.

For example, in a bank, the lobby is directly connected to the entrance and exit from the outside, doubles as a waiting room, and is connected to the teller counter. For this reason, the lobby is equipped with equipment necessary for counter operations, a stand for paper, a writing table, etc., as well as chairs and magazines for customer service.

In public facilities where television receivers, exhibits, potted plants, etc. are provided, large numbers of people come and go even on rainy days, so in order to prevent the floor from getting wet and making it difficult to walk on rainy days. Mats have been placed at important points such as the nine entrances and exits from the outside, and the waiting room. As such mats, mats in which pile-like synthetic fibers are flocked onto a base material made of synthetic rubber are often used.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, conventional mats are made by flocking synthetic fibers onto a flat synthetic rubber base material, so when many people pass by on the mat during rainy days, the water that falls on the mat is absorbed. Although some of the water remains between the base material and the synthetic fibers, most of the water flows out of the mat and wets the floor.

Also, when it rains, guests may get their clothes and shoes wet,
It is contaminated with droplets. However, in general facilities, not just banks, there are no separate devices for wiping wet clothes or dirty shoes, so visitors should use their own handkerchiefs or tissues to wipe wet clothes and shoes. However, there were problems in that guests could not wipe them thoroughly and had trouble disposing of them after using them, leaving guests feeling uncomfortable.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the service function for guests by equipping a lobby with a water-retaining mat and a water-absorbing cleaning tool.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the purpose, the lobby equipment of the public facility of the present invention has the following features:
In addition to placing a water-retaining bedding mat on the floor,
It is characterized by being equipped with a water-absorbing cleaning tool.

Here, the water-retaining bedding mat is a bedding mat in which synthetic fibers are flocked to a base material made of synthetic rubber, and a large number of depressions are formed on the upper surface of the base material, and the synthetic #
Filling the roots of the a-fibers with a water-absorbing polymer, or forming a recess on the lower surface of the base material, and providing a hole for draining water that penetrates from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base material in the recess formation area. A floor mat can have a structure of one or a combination of two or more. Further, the water-absorbing cleaning tool is formed into a dome shape by covering one side of the foamed resin body with a woven fabric or a water-absorbing nonwoven fabric, and the foamed resin body is attached to a disk-shaped base with the covered side as the outside. The two purifier bodies glued to the
The cleaning tool may have a structure in which the disk-shaped base materials are opposed to each other and connected via a cylindrical connecting portion. Furthermore, a large number of the water-absorbing cleaning tools can be hung and installed on a decorative structure.

[Effect]

In the lobby equipment according to the present invention, a floor mat having water-retaining properties is arranged, so that water that falls on the mat does not flow out onto the floor outside the mat. This mat
When a large number of depressions are formed on the upper surface of a synthetic rubber base material on which synthetic fibers are flocked, water that falls onto the mat collects in the depressions. Furthermore, when the roots of the synthetic fibers are filled with a water-absorbing polymer, water that falls onto the mat is absorbed by the water-absorbing polymer. In this case, when the water absorption of the water-absorbing polymer becomes saturated, the water-absorbing polymer can be replaced. In addition, when a recess is formed on the bottom surface of the base material to provide a drainage hole, some of the water that falls onto the mat flows out from the hole to the bottom surface of the base material and accumulates in the hollow space of the bottom recess. . In either case, there is not so much water that accumulates in the depressions on the top surface of the base material or the hollow spaces in the concave portions on the bottom surface, and natural evaporation occurs, so the accumulated water does not overflow from the mat. Furthermore, a large number of depressions are formed on the upper surface of the base material, a water-absorbing polymer is filled in the base of the synthetic fiber, and a recess is formed on the lower surface of the base material, and the recess formation portion is filled with water from the upper surface of the base material. When two or more of the above-mentioned functions are combined, the above-mentioned effects are superimposed.

In addition, the cleaning equipment is mainly made of foamed resin with excellent water absorption, so it is suitable for wiping wet clothes and removing dirt from shoes, and if it is provided in the lobby, guests will be careful about cleaning up after themselves. It can be used to change the mood without changing it.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically explained using examples with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are plan views showing an example of the arrangement of a floor mat and a cleaning tool according to the present invention.

The arrangement example shown in Fig. 1 is an example in which the present invention is applied to a bank lobby, and as shown in the figure, pine trees (A, B, and C) of appropriate sizes and shapes are placed at important points in the lobby. Along with this, a decorative tree has been installed with hanging cleaning tools (described later).

Mats A, B, and C are water-retaining mats, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, which will be described later. These mats A, B, and C are used as entrances and exits of the lobby.

They are located in the aisle and near the counter. The size, shape, number, and position of these mats A, B, and C may be determined depending on the size of the lobby and the arrangement of other equipment such as chairs, tables, and potted plants. In this example,
A relatively large semicircular pine (A) is placed at the entrance, a medium-sized oval pine (B) is placed in the passageway, and a relatively small oval mat (C) is placed in front of the counter. are doing.

As shown in FIG. 13, the decorative tree on which the purifier is suspended is made by artificially attaching a large number of branches 31 to the trunk of a tree 30.
In this branch tree 31, as shown in examples in FIGS. 7 to 12,
A large number of water-absorbing cleaning tools 11 are suspended. Note that the reference number E shown in FIG. 1 is a collection box for the cleaning tool 11 after use.

Figure 2 shows an example in which pine trees A and B and a collection box E for one decorative tree are placed in a relatively narrow lobby.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing an example of the structure of the mat used in the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a partial plan view of the base material of the mat.

The mat of this example is a mat in which a large number of depressions are formed on the upper surface of a base material made of synthetic rubber, and the roots of synthetic fibers flocked to the base material are filled with a water-absorbing polymer.

The mat 1 has a large number of depressions 2 on the top surface of a base material 2 made of synthetic rubber.
a, pile-shaped synthetic fibers 3 (polypropylene fibers in this example) are flocked into the depressions 2a, and water-absorbing polymers 4 are filled on the base material 2 to about half the height of the synthetic fibers 3. ing. The periphery of the mat 1 is surrounded by a decorative plate 5 made of a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate.

The overall planar area and shape of the mat 1 are not particularly limited;
It can be circular, oval, semicircular, etc.

The depression 2a provided on the upper surface of the base material 2 has a circular or square planar shape, a diameter or side of about 10 mm, and a depth of 3 to 3 mm.
The diameter of the recesses 2a is approximately 5 mm, and the interval between the recesses 2a is made as small as possible, and the bottom shape is formed integrally when the substrate 2 is manufactured. The fibers 13 are implanted into the depressions 2a by adhesive.

The synthetic fiber m3 is similar to that used in conventional mats. However, in this example, about half of the roots of the synthetic fibers 3 are within the layer of the water-absorbing polymer 4.

In other words, in the conventional mat, synthetic fibers were simply flocked to the base material, but in the mat 1 of this example, the roots of the synthetic fibers 3 adhered to the depressions 2a of the base material 2. is filled with water-absorbing polymer 4. This water-absorbing polymer 4 is in the form of a bead before absorbing water,
It becomes a jelly-like substance when it absorbs water up to its saturation point, and is the same as that commonly used as a desiccant.

In this way, in the mat 1 of this example, the roots of the synthetic fibers 3 are filled with the water-absorbing polymer 4, so when water falls onto the mat 1, the water is absorbed by the water-absorbing polymer 4. Therefore, water will not flow out of the mat 1. When the water absorption of the water-absorbing polymer 4 is saturated, the pine) 1 itself is replaced, the jelly-like water-absorbing polymer 4 is taken out, and the water-absorbing polymer 4 is refilled with granular water-absorbing polymer 4 to prepare for the next use.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing another example of the structure of the mat used in the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a partial plan view of the base material of the mat.

In this example, a large number of depressions are formed on the upper surface of a base material made of synthetic rubber, and concave portions are formed on the lower surface of the base material, and holes for draining water that penetrate from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base material are formed in the concave portions. This is an example of a mat provided.

In the maturo of this example, a recess 2b is formed on the lower surface side corresponding to the recess 2a of the base material 2, and a hole 2c for draining water is provided in the recess 2b, penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base material 2. In this maturo, water accumulates in the depression 2a on the upper surface of the base material 2 and the recess 2b on the lower surface, and water does not flow out onto the floor outside the maturo. Further, the unevenness on the lower surface of the base material 2 has an effect of preventing slipping on the floor.

The above example is an example of a mat in which a large number of depressions are formed on the top surface of a synthetic rubber base material, and a water-absorbing polymer is filled at the base of synthetic fibers flocked to the base material, and a mat made of synthetic rubber. While forming a large number of depressions on the top surface of the base material,
This is an example of a mat structure in which a recess is formed on the lower surface of the base material, and a hole for draining water is provided in the recess forming part that penetrates from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base material.The structure of the mat used in the present invention is as follows. Forming a large number of depressions on the upper surface of the base material, filling the roots of the synthetic fibers with a water-absorbing polymer, and forming recesses on the lower surface of the base material, and forming a recess from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base material in the recessed portion. Needless to say, it is possible to adopt any of the methods of providing a drainage hole penetrating through the drain hole, or to adopt a combination other than the above example.

Figures 7 to 12 are diagrams showing examples of the structure of the cleaning tool used in the present invention, with Figure 7 showing a front view and Figure 8 showing a state in which the two cleaning tool bodies are disconnected. 9 is a partially enlarged vertical cross-sectional view showing the shape of the connecting portion, FIG. 10 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the base material, FIG. 11 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the wiping portion, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the previous state.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cleaning tool 11 of this example is
A pair of left and right cleaning tool bodies 12 and 13 are connected. The cleaning tool main body 12.13 consists of a base material 14.15 and a wiping part 16.17, respectively, and the cleaning tool main body 12 has a base material 14 and a wiping part 16.17.

The tip 21 of the cylindrical portion of the connecting portion 19 is inserted into the ring-shaped recess 22 provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 20 of the connecting portion 18, and the ring-shaped convex portion 23 provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical portion tip 21 of the connecting portion 19 is elastically inserted. By fitting the cleaning tool bodies 12 and 13 together.

Note that the hole 24 in FIG. 9 is a hole through which a string (not shown) is passed.

The base material 14.15 and the wiping part 16.17 will be explained below by taking up the base material 15 and the wiping part 17 of the cleaning tool main body 13. The base material 15 has a nine-sided shape in which an edge is formed on the outer periphery of a slightly curved disk, and a connecting portion 19 is provided at a portion corresponding to the bottom of the dish, and a wiping member 17 is fitted inside. The base material 15 is an injection molded product of synthetic resin, for example, ABS resin, and has appropriate elasticity, so that the connection tl18
．． Fitting of the parts 19 and fitting of the wiping part 17 is also easy. The wiping part 17 has an outer layer 25 degrees and an inner layer 26 degrees. The inner layer 27 has a three-layer structure, the outer layer 25 is a nonwoven fabric with high water absorption (polyamide resin in this example), the middle layer 26 is a relatively highly foamed plastic foam (polyethylene foam in this example), and the inner layer 2
Reference numeral 7 uses a low-expansion plastic foam (polyethylene foam in this example).

Before being fitted into the base material 15, the wiping part 17 is disc-shaped as shown in FIG. 12, and the peripheral edge of the disc-shaped wiping part 17 is compressed and thermally welded as shown in FIG. to form the whole into a dome shape. Then, the dome-shaped wiping part 17 is fitted into the dish-shaped edge of the base material 15, and the inner layer 27 of the wiping part 17 and the base material 15 are bonded at appropriate locations.

It is preferable that the adhesion is made removable using double-sided tape or a hook-and-loop fastener.

The cleaning tool 11 of this example has wipers R16 and 17 mainly made of plastic foam with good water absorption as described above, so this cleaning tool 11 can be used to wipe water droplets and dirt on clothes etc. be able to. Further, if one wiping part 16 of the cleaning tool 11 is used to wipe water droplets and dirt from shoes, and the other wiping part 17 is used to polish the shoes, the cleaning tool 11 can also be used for shoe polishing.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a state in which a large number of cleaning tools of this example are hung on a decorative tree.

A decorative tree is one in which a large number of branches 31 are artificially attached to a trunk 30 of a tree, and a cleaning tool 11 is suspended from the branches 31. To hang the cleaning tool 11, pass the string 28 through the hole 24 (see FIG. 9) in the connection part 19 of the cleaning tool 11, and
A hook (not shown) is attached to the upper end of the branch 31, and the ingredient is hung on the branch 31. By hanging the cleaning tool 11 from the branch 31 in this manner, a visitor can remove the cleaning tool 11 from the branch 31 and wipe wet clothes or dirty shoes. After wiping clothes, etc., the cleaning tool 11 can be simply put into the provided collection box E (see Figure 1), so guests can easily use it without having to think about what to do with the cleaning tool 11 after wiping it. , your guests will be pleased.

On the other hand, for the bank side, by preparing a decorative tree with the cleaning device 11 hanging near the entrance of the lobby in case of rain, it is possible to improve the service and also to create a decorative tree that looks good. The atmosphere inside the lobby is also good.

Furthermore, when the string 28 is passed through the connecting part 19, the cleaning tool 11 takes on the shape of a toy commonly known as a "yo-yo," and in addition to its original function as a cleaning tool, it also functions as a toy. Because of this, children can easily use it as play equipment.

In the above example, a water-absorbing nonwoven fabric was used as the covering material for the wiping part, but a woven fabric such as cotton may also be used.

Further, the foamed resin of the wiping part may be impregnated with perfume or deodorizing liquid to emit a fragrance.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, water-retaining floor mats are placed on the floor around the lobby entrances and reception desks of public facilities and in waiting rooms, so that when visitors come in and out on rainy days, Water that falls on the mat does not flow onto the floor outside the mat, and water does not collect on the floor of the lobby or make it difficult to walk on. In addition, since it is equipped with a water-absorbing cleaning device, guests can easily use it to wipe wet clothes or remove dirt from their shoes without having to worry about cleaning up after themselves. It can relieve unpleasant feelings. In this way, even in rainy weather, the environment of the lobby can be maintained in a good condition, allowing guests to relieve themselves in a comfortable manner, thereby improving the service provided to guests.
