Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a carpeting material for people to sit on, such as a rug, a mattress pad, a cushion, a pillow, or a cover. [Background technology]

[0002] As a non-slip treatment for rugs, mattress pads, and other floor coverings, silicone or acrylic resin ink is printed in dots on the underside of the floor covering to form a bumpy surface with multiple dots. However, the dots fall off during use, and the non-slip effect weakens. In addition, the non-slip effect of the dots is weak because the contact area between the floor covering and the material on which it is placed is small. Therefore, as a non-slip treatment that covers the entire underside, a non-slip surface is formed with a coating layer containing polyvinyl chloride or silicone on the backing, as described in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3227068 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The above-mentioned rug has a non-slip backing, so the rug itself is not slippery. However, when another rug, such as a cover, is placed on the rug, the top surface of the rug is not non-slip, so the rug placed on top will slip, making it difficult to use. In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a rug that does not slip even when another rug is placed on top of it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The slip-resistant rug of the present invention has an anti-slip layer formed on its upper surface by applying an anti-slip treatment. When another rug is placed on top of the rug with an anti-slip layer on its upper surface, if an external force is applied to the upper rug and it tries to move, the movement is prevented by the anti-slip layer on the lower side, so the upper rug does not slip.

[0006] This is a carpet structure in which an upper carpet is placed on the upper surface of a lower carpet, the upper surface of the lower carpet is treated with an anti-slip layer, and the lower surface of the upper carpet and the upper surface of the lower carpet are arranged opposite each other. Since the lower surface of the upper carpet comes into contact with the anti-slip layer on the upper surface of the lower carpet, the upper carpet is less likely to slip off.

[0007] Then, the underside of the upper rug is treated with an anti-slip coating to form an anti-slip layer. The upper surface of the lower rug faces the underside of the upper rug, and the anti-slip layers come into contact with each other. The grip of the two rugs is increased, and the upper and lower rugs do not slip relative to each other.

[0008] The outer periphery of the lower rug is formed with an inclined surface so that the robot vacuum cleaner can ascend and descend. When the robot vacuum cleaner ascends and descends the non-slip inclined surface of the rug, the wheels do not slip, and the robot vacuum cleaner can ascend and descend reliably.

[0009] The anti-slip layer is formed by coating polyvinyl chloride, which allows the entire surface to be anti-slip, enhancing the anti-slip effect. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, a non-slip layer is formed on the top surface of the rug, so that even if another rug is placed on top of the rug, the upper rug will not slip and the rug will not shift relative to the other rug. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a cross-sectional view of a lug according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] Perspective view of the lug [Diagram 3]Cross-sections of mats in other forms [Figure 4] Perspective view of the mat [Diagram 5] 1 is a cross-sectional view of a mat with a cover according to a second embodiment; [Figure 6] Cross-section of a pillow with a different type of pillow pad DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the floor covering of the present invention is a rug, and is composed of a surface fabric 1, a cushioning material 2, and a backing fabric 3. Woven or knitted fabrics such as chemical fibers, natural fibers, and nonwoven fabrics are used for the surface fabric 1 and the backing fabric 3, and polyurethane foam or padding is used for the cushioning material 2. The surface fabric 1, the cushioning material 2, and the backing fabric 3 are layered, and piping 4 is applied to the outer periphery of the floor covering. Furthermore, the floor covering is quilted 5.

[0013] The surface of the front fabric 1, i.e., the top surface of the rug, is treated with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) anti-slip coating to form an anti-slip layer 6. An adhesive containing polyvinyl chloride is applied or sprayed onto the surface of the front fabric 1 to form a thin, even anti-slip layer 6 over the entire top surface. The surface of the back fabric 3, i.e., the bottom surface of the rug, is coated with polyvinyl chloride to form an anti-slip layer 6. A cushioning material 2 is placed between the anti-slip treated front fabric 1 and the anti-slip treated back fabric 3, and the outer edges of both fabrics 1, 3 are overlapped to perform piping 4, and finally quilting 5 is performed. Bonding may be performed instead of quilting. The outer edge of the rug is not limited to piping, and may be hemmed or bonded and cut without a hem.

[0014] Thus, although the anti-slip layer 6 cannot be seen with the naked eye, it feels adhesive when touched with the hand, and has a clearly different feel compared to a rug that does not have the anti-slip layer 6 formed thereon, making the presence of the anti-slip layer 6 recognizable.

[0015] When another rug is placed on top of the rug having the anti-slip layer 6 on its upper surface, if an external force is applied to the upper rug and it tries to move, the movement is prevented by the anti-slip layer 6 on the lower side, so the upper rug does not slip off. Therefore, a rug that prevents the rug placed on top from slipping off can be provided.

[0016] In addition, when a person stands on this mat, even if they move, their body will not slip, so they can maintain their balance and avoid getting into an awkward position. Moreover, when a person or object stands on the mat, even if the mat moves, the person or object moves with the mat, so the person will not lose their balance or the object will not fall over.

[0017] By forming the anti-slip layers 6 on the top and bottom surfaces of the rug, the rug itself is less likely to slip when laid on a floor, etc. Moreover, even if a person moves on the rug, the rug is prevented from slipping along with the person.

[0018] Another type of floor covering is a mat 11 covered with a mat cover 10, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The mat 11 is made of an elastic material such as polyurethane foam, and the mat cover 10 is formed in a bag shape from a woven or knitted fabric such as synthetic fiber, natural fiber, or nonwoven fabric. An inclined surface 12 is formed on the outer periphery of the floor covering so that a robot vacuum cleaner can go up and down. The mat cover 10 covers the mat 11 from the top to the bottom, and an opening 13 for inserting and removing the mat 11 is formed on the bottom surface of the mat cover 10. By inserting the mat 11 through this opening 13, the mat 11 is stored in the mat cover 10. By removing the mat 11 from this opening 13, the mat cover 10 can be removed. Note that the mat cover 10 is integrated with the mat 11 as a floor covering.

[0019] The surface of the mat cover 10, i.e., the upper and lower surfaces including the inclined surface 12, are subjected to a non-slip treatment by coating with polyvinyl chloride in the same manner as described above, forming a non-slip layer 14. That is, the non-slip layer 14 is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the rug. Even if a person stands on the rug, the person will not slip unintentionally and will not be put into an awkward position. Furthermore, when the robot vacuum cleaner goes up and down the rug, the wheels of the robot vacuum cleaner will not slip on the inclined surface 12 having the non-slip layer 6, and the robot vacuum cleaner can go up and down reliably.

[0020] The second embodiment is a mat structure in which an upper mat is placed on the upper surface of a lower mat. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower mat is a mat 11 covered with the above-mentioned mat cover 10, and an anti-slip layer 14 is formed on the surface of the mat cover 10. The upper mat is a cover 15. The cover 15 is made of a single piece of natural fiber or chemical fiber cloth, but is not limited to this, and may be a pad consisting of a front fabric, a back fabric, and a padding inserted between the two fabrics. The underside of the cover 15 is coated with polyvinyl chloride to form an anti-slip layer 16. The underside of the cover 15 has a completely different feel from the upper side when touched, so this underside can be identified without a doubt.

[0021] When the cover 15 is placed on the mat 11, the upper surface of the lower mat 11 and the lower surface of the upper cover 15 face each other, and the anti-slip layers 14, 16 of each come into contact. The gripping force between them increases, making the mat 11 and the cover 15 less likely to slip off each other. Therefore, when a person is placed on the cover 15, the cover 15 can be prevented from slipping in accordance with the person's movements, and the person does not end up in an awkward position. In addition, when the robot vacuum cleaner goes up and down this rug, the upper cover 15 is firmly gripped by the lower mat 11 and does not slip off, so the robot vacuum cleaner can go up and down stably.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 6, another type of lower mat is a pillow 20, and an upper mat is a pillow pad 21, which is placed on the top surface of the pillow 20. The pillow 20 is made by forming an outer fabric 22 into a bag shape and accommodating a soft material 23 such as cotton or polyester inside. The outer fabric 22 is made of a fabric made of natural fibers or chemical fibers. The pillow 20 is not limited to this, and may be a pillow with a cover. The pillow pad 21 is made of a single piece of cloth made of natural fibers or chemical fibers. The pillow pad 21 may be made of an outer fabric, an inner fabric, and a filling placed between the two fabrics.

[0023] The surface of the outer fabric 22 of the pillow 20 is coated with polyvinyl chloride to form an anti-slip layer 24. That is, the anti-slip layer 24 is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the pillow 20. Therefore, the pillow 20 can be used without distinction between the top and bottom. Also, the bottom surface of the pillow pad 21 is coated with polyvinyl chloride to form an anti-slip layer 25.

[0024] When the pillow pad 21 is placed on the pillow 20, the upper surface of the pillow 20 and the lower surface of the pillow pad 21 face each other, and the anti-slip layers 24, 25 come into contact with each other, increasing their gripping power. Even if a person turns over in their sleep, the pillow pad 21 does not slip off the pillow 20. This prevents the pillow pad 21 from coming off the pillow 20 while sleeping, and ensures that the pillow pad 21 functions as it should. In this way, in a carpet structure in which an upper carpet and a lower carpet are set, they grip each other, so that not only the upper carpet but also the lower carpet do not slip, and a carpet that is difficult to slip off each other can be provided.

[0025] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and many modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiment within the scope of the present invention. The non-slip mat is applicable to various mats that come into contact with the body, such as cushions, sheets, mattresses, futons, quilts, sheets, sheets, and multi-covers (a single piece of cloth with four sides sewn). These become the lower mats in the mat structure. An upper mat, such as a pad or cover, is placed on top of the lower mat. Also, an adhesive containing silicone may be applied or sprayed onto the surface of the outer fabric to form a non-slip layer over the entire upper surface. [Explanation of symbols]
