Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a foot-wiping mat placed at the entrance of a bathroom or the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a foot-wiping mat has been placed at the entrance of the bathroom to prevent the feet freshly raised from the bath from getting wet on the floor.

Since this foot-wiping mat is required to have high water absorbency, a thick towel cloth is generally used.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) First-time users of the above-mentioned conventional foot-wiping mats feel comfortable because the mats are dry, but those who later use the foot-wiping mats may absorb water and become cold. It often causes discomfort because it is a step on a hard spot.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a lining which is waterproofed with a foot-wiping mat, an intermediate layer having a high water-absorption property placed on the lining, and an intermediate layer of the intermediate layer. A three-layer structure consisting of a mesh-processed surface material that is overlaid on the upper surface was used, and the shape of the water holes formed in this surface material was a funnel shape with a wide surface side and a narrow intermediate layer side.

(Action) Water that falls on the outer material easily passes through the outer material through the funnel-shaped water holes and is absorbed by the middle layer, and water drops that enter the surface are difficult to return and the surface of the mat remains smooth. it can.
Further, the water absorbed in the intermediate layer does not wet the floor surface because the lower surface of the intermediate layer is covered with the waterproof lining.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a foot-wiping mat according to the present invention, and FIG.
The drawing is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG.

Foot wipe mat 1 has a rectangular overall shape, and its structure is a lining 2 that is waterproofed with urethane or polyester, and an intermediate layer 3 made of 100% cotton pile material with excellent water absorption performance is placed between the two. A nylon surface material 4 which has been subjected to mesh processing is laid on the upper surface of the layer 3 and the peripheral edge portion 2a of the lining material 2 is folded back and fixed to the peripheral edge portion of the surface material 4.

Here, as a fastening means for the peripheral edge of the lining 2 and the peripheral edge of the outer cloth 4, a button or a hook-and-loop fastener may be used in addition to the stitching and the welding so as to be detachable. By doing so, it is easy to wash and dry.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the water holes 5 formed in the outer material 4 have a funnel shape in which the surface side is wide and the intermediate layer 3 side is narrow. With such a shape, the water droplets 6 easily enter the mat 1, and the water droplets 6 that enter the mat 1 are unlikely to return to the mat 1. Therefore, the matte surface can always maintain a smooth state.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, an intermediate layer made of highly water-absorbent fiber is placed on the upper surface of a waterproofed lining, and a meshed outer material is laid on the upper surface of the intermediate layer. The shape of the water holes formed in this outer material is funnel-shaped with the surface side wide and the middle layer side narrowed, so the water dropped on the surface material can be easily absorbed by the funnel-shaped water holes. Is
On the contrary, the water drops that enter through the water holes do not return easily, so even if a large number of people continue to use the mats, the mat surface can always be kept in a dry state and the floor surface may get wet. However, if the lining is removable, it is easy to wash and dry.
