Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a floor mat for automobiles.

(Prior Art) Automobile floor mats have been installed to prevent dirt, dust, etc. from staining the automobile floor surface. However, these mats are made with elasticity and flexibility in order to fit into the unevenness of the car floor, and are not easily affected by the force applied when getting on and off the car or when operating the accelerator, clutch, etc. pedals. It was shifting forward or to the left or right.

If the mat shifts forward or to the left or right, the dirt and debris on the mat spills onto the floor of the car, making the floor dirty and making it impossible to achieve its original purpose. was.

Further, when the mat shifts forward, the tip of the mat becomes undulating below the accelerator pedal, clutch pedal, etc., and obstructs the operation of each pedal. Furthermore, the driver is often concerned about the misalignment of the mat and returns the mat to its original position while driving, which is extremely dangerous.

Conventionally, in order to prevent these mats 1 from shifting, as shown in FIG.
There was one in which the mat 1 was provided with a protrusion 2 that caught on the floor surface of the car to prevent it from shifting when force was applied to the mat 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the peripheral edge 3 of the mat 1
There was one that had a part of it fixed to the door step with screws 4.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the former case, a carpet is laid on the floor of the car, and the friction between the back side of the mat 1 and the carpet is small, and when a large force is applied to the mat 1. Alternatively, the mat 1 has become misaligned over time.

In addition, although the latter type hardly causes the mat 1 to shift, since the mat 1 is fixed with screws 4, it is complicated to install and remove the mat 1, and if a large force is applied to the mat 1, Although the mat 1 did not shift, there was a problem in that the fixed part could break.

This idea was created in view of these problems, and it prevents the vehicle from shifting forward or to the left or right due to the force applied when getting on and off or operating the pedals.
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a floor mat for an automobile that is highly elastic and flexible and can fit even the unevenness of the automobile floor surface.

(Means for solving the problem) That is, this invention uses a wire having a restoring force made by bending a single flexible wire in an automobile floor mat in which a backing layer is formed on the back surface of the base fabric. This is a floor mat for an automobile, characterized in that the wire and the mesh cloth disposed below the wire are embedded in a resin backing layer.

(Function) Therefore, in the automobile floor mat of this invention, the wire and the mesh cloth are buried in the resin backing layer to maintain the mat in a taut state so that the mat can be moved forward or to the left or right. The resin of the resin backing layer permeates into the mesh fabric, and the backing layer and the mesh fabric are integrated, thereby further increasing the strength of the mat.

In addition, in the case of the car floor mat of this invention, since the mesh cloth is placed under the wire, when the wire bends, the resin backing layer is removed in the area where the layer is thinned by the wire. This makes it possible to prevent the wire from cracking or the end of the wire from penetrating the resin backing layer and damaging the resin backing layer.

(Example) This invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

This automotive floor mat is composed of a base fabric, a wire disposed on the back surface of the base fabric, a mesh fabric, and a resin backing layer.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of this mat, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line A--B in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the X section in FIG.

Now, this automobile floor mat (hereinafter referred to as "mat") has wires and mesh cloth arranged on the back side of the base fabric.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the base fabric 12 is a relatively strong core material, and a pile 13 of fiber etc.
is hammered into a predetermined shape, creating a long pile carpet-like shape.

A wire 14 is arranged on the back surface of this base 12.

The wire 14 is made of a flexible material with resilience, and its shape is determined in consideration of the size of the mat 11 or the shape of the automobile floor surface on which it is laid. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, there is a Z-shaped wire made of piano wire, and as shown in FIG. 10, there is an S-shaped wire made of piano wire. Showed things.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, this wire 14 is sewn and attached to the back surface of the base fabric 12 with a sewing thread 15. Note that the wire 14 is
It may be attached using an adhesive.

Note that the wire 14 is not limited to piano wire, and may be made of a synthetic resin with resilience.

Along with the wire 14, a mesh cloth 16 is arranged on the back surface of the base cloth 12. The mesh cloth 16 is the sixth
As shown in the drawings and FIG. 7, the knit is a coarse knit of nylon filaments having a pitch of 2 to 3 mm, and is sewn onto the back surface of the base fabric 12 so as to cover the entire wire 14. This mesh cloth 16 is determined according to the thickness of the wire 14. That is, when the wire 14 is thin, the pitch of the mesh cloth 16 is such that the filaments constituting the knit are also thin and tightly woven. On the other hand, when the wire 14 is thick, the pitch of the mesh cloth 16 is a thick filament and is coarsely knitted. The mesh fabric and the base fabric are sewn, for example, in the pattern of the base fabric at intervals of 2 cm.

Further, the pine cloth 16 may be made of any material such as cotton or linen, and the resin backing layer 17
Any heat-resistant material that can withstand the high temperatures during formation is sufficient. Further, the mesh cloth 16 is not limited to knit, but may be a woven fabric, and a mesh-like material is preferable to which the resin of the resin backing layer 17 can easily penetrate.

The attachment of the mesh cloth 14 to the back surface of the base 12 is not limited to sewing, but any method may be used as long as it can prevent the base cloth 12 and the mesh cloth 16 from peeling off, such as bonding with an adhesive.

A resin backing layer 17 is formed on the back surface of the base fabric 12 on which the wire 14 and mesh fabric 16 are arranged.
is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the resin backing layer 17 is made of a resin obtained by heating and melting the base fabric 12 on which the wire 14 and the mesh cloth 16 are arranged and sewn to increase the surface area of the back surface. The resin is soaked in a pooled mold 18, and the mesh cloth 16 is cooled and formed with the resin permeated therein.

Therefore, the strength of the resin backing layer 17 is high and the bonding force with the base fabric 12 is large, and even if the content of the wire 14 portion of the resin backing layer 17 becomes thin due to the arrangement of the wire 14, cracks will not occur in the resin backing layer 17. It never happens.

Further, the periphery of the mat 11 on which the resin backing layer 17 is formed is sewn with a darning thread 19.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, this invention utilizes the restoring force created by bending a single flexible wire in an automobile floor mat in which a resin backing layer is formed on the back surface of the base fabric. This is a floor mat for an automobile, characterized in that the wire and the mesh cloth disposed below the wire are embedded in a resin backing layer.

Therefore, since this car floor mat has wires arranged on the back of the base fabric, it will stay taut and wave forward even when force is applied when getting on and off or when operating each pedal. It is less likely to shift from side to side or from side to side. In addition, since the mat does not easily shift, the dirt and dust on the mat will not spill and stain the car floor, and each pedal can be operated smoothly, which prevents the mat from shifting. You don't have to worry about it, and it is very useful for safe driving. Furthermore, since the mat has a mesh cloth placed on the back side of the base cloth to reinforce the resin backing layer, the mat will not crack or be damaged even when wires are placed thereon. In other words, when the wire bends, it prevents the resin backing layer from cracking in the areas where the layer is thinned by the wire, and prevents the ends of the wire from penetrating through the resin backing layer and damaging the resin backing layer. It is becoming possible to do this.

Furthermore, since the back surface of the mat is made of a resin backing layer, it has elasticity and flexibility, and can fit onto the unevenness of the automobile floor.
