Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of mats for the treatment of surfaces or for cleaning purposes, in particular floor mats, which consists of a base material predominantly made of plastic with a fiber layer and a carrier layer fixing this and fibers made of bristle-like structure applied to the base material .
  • the invention further relates to a mat produced in this way.
  • Mats in the sense of the invention are understood to mean any flat material in sheet form or in the form of blanks of any size. In terms of application technology, this includes, in particular, wipers, floor mats, rugs, carpet tiles or webs, band brushes or also smaller cuts in the form of pads or the like.
  • Mat material of this type is generally used for cleaning purposes, for example in the case of training as a doormat, wipers or rugs for cleaning the shoes before entering rooms, in the form of covering goods for equipping vestibules, foyers or the like, in the form of bands, pads or the like for mechanical or manual cleaning of surfaces etc.
  • the first-mentioned fiber mats include simple needle felt mats, in which needled tangled fibers on the back by compression, fusion, Spraying or application of a binder are held to form a carrier layer. Furthermore, this includes mats which are formed from a pile fabric, for example from polypropylene, in which the pile weft or the pile chain is cut into bristle-like fibers (DE-GM 7738 685).
  • Mats with a bristle structure are also known in a large number of embodiments.
  • the bristles in the form of bristle strips are mechanically either in strip-shaped or box-shaped holders (DE-OS 2 347 790, DE-PS 2 530 974, DE-OS 2 555 125, US-PS 2 805 437) or also in carrying case grid fixed (DE-AS 1 003 930).
  • DE-AS 1 003 930 In this case, either falling off of the stripped dirt onto the floor is deliberately accepted or sufficiently large chambers are provided between individual bristle strips to collect the dirt.
  • roller-like brushes directly next to one another with intermeshing bristles (DE-AS 1 931 548 and 1 654 104). With these bristle mats, reasonably good dirt retention is guaranteed.
  • the carrier layer is formed from large-area plastic injection molded parts with chamber-like depressions, bristles being placed on the upper edge of the chambers delimiting the webs. These embodiments are intended to ensure that the dirt wiped off the bristles collects in the chambers. These floor mats are only functional if they have a thick, full bristle covering. It is complex in terms of production technology, if not at all impossible to apply the large number of bristles on the relatively small end faces of the webs of the carrier material.
  • the mat described at the outset (DE-PS 2 034 089) is satisfactory, at least in terms of application technology. It consists of a base material with a fiber layer in the form of tangled fibers made of relatively fine plastic fibers and a carrier layer fixing them. This fiber mat is embossed to form protective chambers by melting the fine plastic fibers and compressing them to a smaller thickness. Coarse fibers in the form of loops or bristles are needled onto the unprocessed elevations of the mat. On the one hand, this mat has chambers that hold back the dirt, and on the other hand it consists of fine plastic fibers and bristle-like fibers on the ridges.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a method for producing mats which allow the advantageous effects of fibers on the one hand and bristles on the other to be fully developed in terms of application technology, such a mat also being able to be produced in a cost-effective manner should.
  • the mat consists of a base material predominantly made of plastic with a fiber layer and a carrier layer fixing it and bristle-like structure applied to the base material
  • this object is achieved in that the base material is heated by heating Fibers and optionally the carrier layer are melted in regions and compacted up to or into the carrier layer to form depressions in the fiber layer, and that bristles are inserted into the depressions approximately parallel to one another and are connected to the compacted base material by melting their ends .
  • a stable base is formed in the region of the depression, primarily made of plastic, in which bristles, which are arranged approximately in parallel, are anchored by melting their ends.
  • bristles which are arranged approximately in parallel, are anchored by melting their ends.
  • a doormat is obtained in which the bristles are in the approximately vertical position which is important for their function, so that they can fulfill their optimal stripping and cleaning function.
  • These bristles are otherwise within the uninfluenced fiber material of the fiber layer, so that the fibers also fulfill the assigned stripping and dirt retention effect in every respect can.
  • the load-bearing function is not only taken over - as with conventional fiber mats - by the carrier layer of the base material, but also by the reinforced base of the depressions, which depending on their arrangement can be punctiform, strip-shaped, grid-like or the like.
  • the bristles are welded to the base material.
  • the melted ends of the Bor ⁇ ten be appeared on the base material. This can be done in such a way that the melt at least partially penetrates between the fibers adjacent to the depression.
  • fibers and bristles can also consist of very different materials. Practical tests have shown that, regardless of the type of connection, it is even possible to provide a portion of natural fibers within the fiber layer. Instead of this, it is also possible to press the melted fibers into the melt of the base material in order to allow the bristle melt to flow around, which likewise leads to a firm hold.
  • the fibers of the base material are melted over the height of the fiber layer in the edge region of the depression to form a kind of wall. This creates a kind of blind hole in which the bristles are inserted. The melted fibers form a lateral support for the bristles.
  • mats can be produced in the form of webs or in the form of area-limited sections, so that all the possible uses mentioned for the material can be exhausted.
  • the invention further relates to a mat for processing surfaces or for cleaning purposes, in particular a doormat, which consists of a base material predominantly made of plastic with a fiber layer and a carrier layer fixing this and fibers made of bristle-like structure applied to the base material.
  • a doormat which consists of a base material predominantly made of plastic with a fiber layer and a carrier layer fixing this and fibers made of bristle-like structure applied to the base material.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing this known mat with a combined fiber and bristle structure in such a way that the advantages of both structures in application technology come into play to the full extent.
  • the base material of the fiber layer has depressions in some areas, the bottom of which is formed by melting the fiber layer and compacting up to or into the optionally melted carrier layer and that bristles in the depressions are approximately parallel to one another used and ⁇ end hd by melting their ends in the bottom of the wells.
  • the mat thus consists in some areas of a pure fiber layer, in other areas it consists of bristles which, as is usual with brush goods, are essentially perpendicular to the surface.
  • the fibers can unfold their stripping and retention function for the dirt unhindered, while the stronger stripping function of the bristles also has an effect, in particular also on profiled surfaces.
  • the diameter and length of the bristles, as well as their material, can be selected as required.
  • the bristles can be attached to the mat in any geometrical arrangement. Bristles with different properties and effects can also be used in combination. Also special bristles, e.g. B. with abrasive filling for grinding and polishing purposes can be introduced into the mat material.
  • the bristles can be welded to the base material at the base of the depression be, if necessary also have a widened foot at their ends inserted into the depression.
  • this widened foot can reach between the fibers of the fiber layer that are adjacent to the depression and there provide additional anchoring of the bristles.
  • the depressions have wall-like stiffeners which are formed from fibers melted over the height of the fiber layer. This provides additional support and guidance for the bristles inserted into the recess.
  • the cross section occupied by the bristles is smaller than the cross section of the recess.
  • a circumferential gap is formed between the bristles and the fiber layer, which is effective as a dirt retention chamber.
  • the cross section of the recess can also be smaller than the cross section occupied by the bristles, so that there is a kind of interference fit of the bristles within the fiber layer, which in turn supports the bristles laterally.
  • the bristles can be used standing upright, in bundles or in strips in corresponding recesses in the base material.
  • the configuration is primarily based on the respective application-related requirements.
  • the bristles can protrude above the surface of the fiber layer, terminate them flush or end below the surface.
  • the bristles become effective with each stripping process, while in the latter case they only develop their effect if a greater pressure is exerted on the fiber layer during the stripping process, ie the fiber layer is compressed accordingly.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of an exemplary embodiment of the mat in the form of a doormat
  • FIGS. 2 - 5 each an enlarged detail section of different embodiments.
  • the doormat 1 shown in FIG. 1 in a schematic view has an essentially rectangular outline with rounded corners. It consists of a base material 2 of fibrous structure and bristles 3 inserted therein. Furthermore, a stiffening, possibly also slip-resistant base 4 can be attached to the back of the mat 1, but this is not part of the subject matter of the invention.
  • the bristles can be arranged with each other in any geometry, as can their distribution on the surface of the mat. In FIG. 1 only individual round bristle bundles 5, cross-arranged bristle strips 6 and linear bristle strips 7 are shown by way of example.
  • a mat can be covered with bristles of the same or different configuration. The structure is shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. the mat can be seen more closely.
  • the base material 2 consists of a fiber layer 8, primarily of random fibers, and a backing layer 9 fixing it on the back.
  • the latter can be produced by compressing the fibers and applying a binder, by fusing the fibers or by applying a film-like cover layer or the like.
  • the fiber layer 8 is melted in regions by heated molding tools and compressed to the carrier layer 9, so that depressions 10 form.
  • the melted fiber material and the carrier layer 9 form a reinforced base 11 at the bottom of the depression.
  • Bristles are primarily inserted into the depression in a parallel position, which are melted at their ends 13 beforehand. With the melted end 13, they are placed on the optionally melted base 11 as well. If the materials used for the fiber layer 8 and the bristles 12 can be welded, a homogeneous weld connection is formed on the base 11. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the bristles 12 protrude beyond the surface 14 of the fiber layer.
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified embodiment, in which the fibers are again melted in regions to form a depression 10 and pressed together on the carrier layer 9.
  • the recess 10 has a somewhat larger cross-section than the bristles 12 occupy, so that an annular space 15 is created which can act as a dirt chamber.
  • the bristles 12 end approximately flush with the surface 14 of the fiber layer 8.
  • the bristles 12 are in turn at their end opposite the usable surface have been melted and squeezed onto the bottom of the depression 10, so that the melt forms a type of foot 16 which is welded to the base 11, if necessary, or at least is glued by the melting.
  • the fiber layer 8 has not only been melted to form the reinforced base 11, but also to the side of the depression, so that a type of sleeve 17 is formed which guides the bristles 12 used laterally.
  • the bristles 12 are here in turn anchored by melting their ends 13 on the base of the depression 10 in the region of the base 11.

Abstract

Des nattes de nettoyage de surfaces, en particulier des paillassons, comprennent un matériau de base, surtout en matière plastique, ayant une couche fibreuse et une couche de fixation de la couche fibreuse, et des fibres de structure similaire à des soies, appliquées sur le matériau de base. On produit ces nattes de manière économique, mettant à profit les avantages techniques des fibres et des crins, en chauffant les fibres (8) et le cas échéant la couche de support (9) de façon à faire fondre et à comprimer des zones du matériau de base (2) jusqu'à la couche de support, en formant des creux (10) dans la couche fibreuse (8). On introduit dans les creux (10) des soies parallèles (12) et on les relie, en faisant fondre leurs extrémités, au matériau de base comprimé.
