Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a foot scrubbing mat that is placed in a bathroom or washing area of a bathroom and is used to scrub the soles and heels of the feet.

It is common practice to install mats, screen boards, etc. in bathrooms, but because they generally have smooth surfaces, they cannot be used as foot rubs. Therefore, it is common to use a pumice stone or a red rub, but in the present invention, a coarse cloth is attached to the mat so that the mat itself can be used in conjunction with foot rubbing.

The coarse fabric 1 is knitted into a plain weave, twill weave, or net shape by joining metal wires 1a and threads 1b for warp and warp, and the metal wires 1a are made of synthetic resin film tape coated with aluminum vapor deposition, aluminum, copper, etc. A flattened metal wire is used, and the thread 2 is made of cotton, silk, or synthetic fiber. It is difficult to weave or knit the fabric using only the metal wire 1, and it is also difficult to adhere to the surface of the mat body, but by adding or incorporating the thread 1b, the adhesion is significantly enhanced and Even when weaving or knitting, it can be carried out quickly and reliably without causing yarn breakage or the like. Further, the metal wire 1 is bent and exposed on the fabric surface by the thread 1b, so that the grinding resistance is large and the so-called scouring effect is well exhibited.

The mat body 2 may be a urethane sponge body compressed hard to remove the foam from the surface, or a relatively soft flexible rubber mat, a nonwoven fabric mat, or a textile mat.

If you place the foot scrubbing mat constructed in this way in the bathroom washing area and use it as a foot scrubbing, you can scrub the soles, heels, etc. of your feet without using your hands, and the mat's surface is made of rough fabric. This makes the soap stand up well and can be washed effectively.In particular, the metal wire is exposed in a bent shape, giving it appropriate softness and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for scrubbing the soles and heels of the feet. Moreover, if you sit on it and use it, it has a rough texture that makes it comfortable and convenient to use as a bath rug. In addition, since the thread is used in a coarse-grained fabric, it reliably adheres to matte bodies with smooth surfaces, and can be used for a long time without coming loose or peeling.
