Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a mat laid on the floor around a sink or a wash basin to prevent the floor from becoming dirty. The present invention relates to a mat that is excellent in anti-corrosion and that can easily wipe off dirt and the like.

[Conventional technology]

The mat is laid on the floor around the sink or wash basin, and is used to prevent water drops or fat dripping on the surface or solid matter such as vegetable scraps from adhering to the floor and soiling the surface.
Generally, woven thick rugs, non-woven fabrics having water absorption, rugs and non-woven fabrics having a waterproof film formed on the back surface thereof have been used.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

These so-called cloth mats are washed and reused when they are contaminated by containing water or when they are contaminated by food, seasonings, fats and the like. However, this type of material is not only difficult to wash due to the thick ground, but also takes a long time to dry, which causes usability problems. Moreover, since it is simply placed on the floor, it may slip or slip when performing cooking work, which is not only difficult to use but also dangerous.

This invention was made in view of such a background,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a mat which is excellent in usability and which allows the user to work with peace of mind without causing slippage during use and causing danger.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a core material made of a water-absorbing material and a core material in a mat for protecting the floor surface from water droplets or other liquid or solid dirt laid on the floor surface and scattered from a sink or the like. A first and a second waterproof film made of synthetic resin respectively disposed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the core material, and a laminate of the core material and the first and second waterproof films is embossed, In addition, a large number of pinholes communicating with the core material are formed in the first waterproof film arranged on the upper surface side of the core material, and the second waterproof film arranged on the lower surface side of the core material is formed. The bottom surface of the waterproof film is characterized by anti-slip processing.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, water droplets and fat dripping on the surface of the mat are permeated into the film through the pinholes and absorbed by the water-absorbing material, gel-like substances such as ketchup and mayonnaise, and solid substances such as vegetable waste Dirt can be cleaned simply by wiping the surface of the film. Further, the liquid component that has permeated the water-absorbing material does not easily return, and there is no risk that the liquid component that has once absorbed will come out to the mat surface and leak to the mat surface.

Further, since the mat surface that is in direct contact with the floor surface is anti-slip, there is no unintended misalignment of the mat when cooking or the like. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the danger caused by the instability of the feet. Furthermore, since the mat, that is, the laminate of the core material and the first and second waterproof films is embossed, the self-holding property in the state of including the core material (water absorbing material) is secured. Is
A predetermined thickness is maintained.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention applied to a kitchen mat will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the kitchen mat according to this embodiment. In the figure, the kitchen mat 1 is sandwiched by a waterproof film 2,3 made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene film as a core material with a water-absorbent material 4 made of, for example, a non-woven fabric, and edges 2a, 3a of the waterproof film 2,4. The water-absorbing material 4 is included by adhering. One side,
In this figure, the waterproof film 2, which is the upper surface, is provided with a large number of small holes, that is, pinholes 5, which connect the surface of the waterproof film 2 and the inner surface containing the water absorbing material 4. Further, the waterproof films 2 and 3 and the water absorbing material 4 are embossed so as to ensure the self-holding property in the state where the water absorbing material 4 is included and to maintain a predetermined thickness. Further, on the other surface, that is, the lower surface of the waterproof film 3 which is the lower side in this figure, a weak adhesive layer is formed at least in a portion in contact with the floor surface as a slip prevention process. In addition, as the anti-slip process, in addition to this, a material having a high friction coefficient such as latex is used as the waterproof film 3.
A method such as coating on the lower surface of the is used.

As can be seen from the explanatory view showing the usage state of FIG. 1, the kitchen mat 1 thus configured has the floor 7 around the sink 6 with the waterproof film 2 side having the pinholes 5 formed therein. It is laid on top. As a result, the upper surface of the kitchen mat 1 can absorb water, and the lower surface of the kitchen mat 1 is fixed to the floor surface 7 by an adhesive layer having weak adhesiveness so as not to easily move.

When the cooking operation is performed in this state, the solid matter such as vegetable scraps cooked on the sink 6 and the fat and the like used for cooking are splashed or dropped and adhere to the kitchen mat 1. Then, the liquid component of the liquid permeates through the pinhole 5 into the waterproof film 2 and is absorbed by the water absorbing material 4. Also, when gel-like substances such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or jam are dropped, you can wipe them off easily by wiping the waterproof film 2 part to which they are attached with a rag or tissue paper, and clean the surface of the kitchen mat 1. Can be held. It should be noted that the liquid component once absorbed by the water-absorbing material 4 does not leak and wet the floor because the film 3 portion that is on the lower side also has a waterproof property. However, if it is used for a long time and cannot be absorbed by the water absorbent material 4,
It is sufficient to discard the kitchen mat 1 and replace it with a new one, and there is no need to wash or dry it like a conventional kitchen mat made of cloth. Therefore, it is easy and extremely easy to use because it saves time for washing and drying.

On the other hand, since the kitchen mat 1 is lightly fixed to the floor surface by the adhesive layer as described above, even when a person is riding on the floor and cooking work is performed or when the edge of the kitchen mat 1 is stepped on. It will not shift or move. As a result, not only can work be carried out with peace of mind, but also there is no risk of slipping on the kitchen mat 1, and the possibility of an accident in the kitchen can be further reduced.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the kitchen mat laid around the sink is taken as an example, but it is of course possible to use the kitchen mat on the wash basin or other floors around water, as well as when eating crayon etc. It can also be used as a mat when using and playing.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the end surface of the water absorbent material 4 is sealed by bonding the edges 2a and 3a of the waterproof films 2 and 3, but in a place where a large amount of water does not scatter, The end surface of the water absorbent material 4 may be exposed to the outside. That is, a mat may be formed by laminating the waterproof films 2 and 3 on both surfaces of the water absorbent material 4 and cutting the water absorbent material 4 into a predetermined size. Further, if the lower surface of the water-absorbent material 4 is subjected to latex treatment, it is possible to have both waterproofness and anti-slip effect, so that the waterproof film 3 on the lower surface becomes unnecessary.

In addition, although the polyethylene film is exemplified as the waterproof film in the above-mentioned examples, it is needless to say that a known synthetic resin film or sheet or the like can be used in addition to this, and a known method can also be introduced to the slip prevention process. Absent.

[Effect of device]

As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention,
Since it has sufficient water absorption and is disposable, it can be used easily and can provide a mat with excellent usability.

Further, since the waterproof film having the anti-slip process is arranged on the lower surface of the core material, there is no slippage or slippage with the laid floor surface, and the work can be carried out at ease. Furthermore, since the entire mat is embossed, the self-holding property is secured and a predetermined thickness is maintained.
