Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to improvement of bath mats.

Conventional bathmats are made entirely of a single piece of thickly woven cloth, such as toweling.
If the first person to take a bath uses this after taking a bath, the water on the soles of their feet will be absorbed by the thick woven cloth and cause dampness, and the second and subsequent people will use the bath mat. There are drawbacks that can sometimes cause discomfort.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the discomfort of the second and subsequent bathers, it is necessary to prepare a new bathmat for each person taking a bath, which is an inconvenience for the workers who prepare the bathmats. be.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bath mat that can eliminate discomfort by simply providing a substantially new bath mat that does not cause dampness to the second and subsequent people after taking a bath.

According to the present invention, the object is to provide a plurality of thick woven members formed only of towel fabric having a predetermined thickness and arranged side by side, and having a thickness thinner than the thick woven members,
and a thin woven member integrally connected to an intermediate position relative to the thickness of the thick woven member in order to integrate the adjacent thick woven members, and the thin woven member brings the adjacent thick woven members into surface contact with each other. This is achieved by a bath mat which has a width such that it can be folded in one state and is also disposed on the entire outer peripheral edge of the thick woven member.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on specific examples shown in the drawings.

1, 2, and 3 each show one specific example of the bath mat according to the present invention.

The bath mat according to the present invention has thick woven parts 1, 1...1 as a plurality of thick woven members that are intermittently connected.
and foldable parts 2, 2, . . . 2 as thin woven members that connect adjacent thick woven parts 1, 1.

In the example shown in the drawings, the foldable parts 2, 2 are formed of a thin weave, so that the bath mat according to the present invention can be folded in multiple layers along the thin weave.

Further, the thick weave portions 1, 1...1 are made of a material similar to the material of conventional bath mats, such as toweling.

That is, the bath mat of the present invention has a plurality of thick weave portions 1, 1...1 which are formed only from towel fabric having a predetermined thickness 3 and are arranged side by side, and a thickness 4 which is thinner than the thick weave portions 1, 1...1. and has foldable parts 2, 2...2 integrally connected to the intermediate position 7 of the thick weave parts 1, 1...1 with respect to the thickness 3 in order to integrate the adjacent thick weave parts 1, 1. , foldable part 2
has a width 6 such that the adjacent thick weave parts 1, 1 can be folded in surface contact with each other, and is also provided on each of the entire outer peripheral edge 5 of the thick weave parts 1, 1...1. There is.

In addition, the thickness 4 of the foldable parts 2, 2...2 is compared to the thickness 3 of the thick woven parts 1, 1...1 so that when a person wipes their feet after taking a bath, it is difficult to put their feet on them and it is difficult for them to get wet. Form it sufficiently thinly.

When using the bathmat of the present invention having the above configuration, it is possible to fold the bathmat by overlapping the thick woven members, so that, for example, the thick woven portion of the bathmat that was first used by the person taking a bath for the first time can be folded. If the surface of the material is folded back to expose the surface of the next new thick woven material, the next person who takes a bath will be able to use the new surface of the thick woven material that does not get damp. This makes it possible to reduce the discomfort experienced by people who have experienced this, and it is also easy to use.

Furthermore, in the bath mat of the present invention, since the thick woven member is made only of towel fabric with a predetermined thickness, it has excellent moisture absorption properties, and can efficiently absorb moisture from the soles of the feet. Since the woven members can be folded in multiple layers, the overall thickness of the bath mat can be increased and therefore better cushioning properties can be obtained when the bath mat is used by a bather.

In addition, in the bath mat of the present invention, the thin woven member is arranged all around the outer edge of the thick woven member, so when a person wants to use this bath mat after taking a bath, the thin woven member In other words, the bathmat of the present invention is constructed so that most of the moisture from the soles of the feet and the like easily adheres to the thick woven material, and therefore, the thick woven material is easily stepped on by the first person taking a bath. Even if a person wets one of the folded thick woven members of this bath mat after taking a bath, the thin woven member is less likely to become damp than the thick woven member.

In addition, in order for the second and subsequent people to use the bath mat comfortably after taking a bath, the worker brings out another thick woven member of the bath mat that is not wet, and removes the wet thick woven part. When attempting to fold the material, the operator held a portion of the thin woven material that was relatively less damp than the thick woven material, which was disposed around the entire circumference of the outer edge of the thick woven material. Since the folding operation can be carried out without touching the wet thick woven member, the operator will not feel uncomfortable.
