Anti-slip mat

Abstract

An anti-slip mat includes: an upper surface layer, a lower surface layer, and an inner layer between the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer. The surface of the inner layer has an anti-slip effect. The peripheries of the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer are joined to form a sealing edge, further confining the inner layer within an accommodating space formed between the upper and lower surface layers. The lower surface layer has at least one perforation, allowing the surface of the inner layer to penetrate through the perforation to form a contact surface. This contact surface allows the inner layer to contact the surface of any material, achieving the anti-slip effect of the mat. The perforation also allows the inner layer to be inserted into or removed from the accommodating space, enabling the upper and lower surface layers and the inner layer to be removed for cleaning or replacement. This enhances the versatility and practicality of the anti-slip mat, increasing consumer willingness to purchase.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pad, and more particularly to an anti-slip pad that uses a perforated design to expose the inner pad to achieve an anti-slip effect. Prior Technology

[0002] Note that floor mats generally have the property of absorbing moisture. There are many types of common doormats (such as those for doorways or bathroom entrances), which can be laid at entrances such as bathrooms for users to step on when leaving the bathroom. The mat absorbs excess moisture from the user's feet. To prevent slipping, most mats have anti-slip properties to increase floor friction. In addition, seat cushions also need to be non-slip. However, conventional non-slip floor mats or non-slip seat cushions have an additional anti-slip texture on the underside of the mat. The anti-slip texture achieves its anti-slip effect through friction with a surface. However, since the anti-slip texture is usually set on the lower surface of the pad in the form of protruding pillars or ribs, it needs to be specially processed and shaped. After a period of use, the anti-slip texture will gradually be worn flat, which not only reduces the grip on smooth surfaces, but also directly loses its anti-slip effect on wet and slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of injury. In addition, the pad is usually not removable and washable, and can only be washed as a whole or discarded and replaced, which lacks versatility and practicality, reducing consumers' willingness to purchase. Obviously, there are areas for improvement.

[0003] In view of this, based on the inventor's many years of experience in manufacturing, developing and designing related products, and after detailed design and careful evaluation for the above objectives, the inventor has finally obtained an invention that is truly practical. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art by providing an anti-slip mat, which includes: an upper surface layer, a lower surface layer, and an inner layer between the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer. The surface of the inner layer has an anti-slip effect. The periphery of the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer are joined to form a sealing edge, further confining the inner layer within an accommodating space formed between the upper and lower surface layers. The lower surface layer has at least one perforation, allowing the surface of the inner layer to penetrate through the perforation to form a contact surface, and through this contact surface to contact the surface of any material, thereby achieving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat.

[0005] Preferably, the inner layer is made of a different material than the upper and lower surface layers. The inner layer is made of at least one of thermosetting materials, thermoplastic materials, natural rubber, and plant materials, while the upper and lower surface layers are made of at least one of fabric, leather, and wool.

[0006] Preferably, the inner layer is non-planar and has a three-dimensional structure, which includes a plurality of protrusions formed on one side surface and a plurality of concave portions opposite the protrusions and formed on the other side surface.

[0007] Preferably, the perforations in the lower surface layer are any one of the following shapes: circular, elliptical, square, or geometrically shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the lower surface layer is provided with two openings, which are any of the following shapes: circular, elliptical, square, and geometrically shaped openings, and the two openings are not limited to the same shape.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface layer and the periphery of the lower surface layer are joined together by either sewing or fastening to form the edge seal.

[0010] Preferably, the periphery of the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer is printed with an adhesive, and then the periphery is pressed together by hot pressing to form the sealing edge.

[0011] Preferably, the lower surface layer has a plurality of parallel, elongated pores.

[0012] Preferably, the lower surface layer is formed by weaving a mesh fabric having a plurality of mesh openings, thereby utilizing the mesh openings of the mesh fabric to form the hollow holes in the lower surface layer.

[0013] Preferably, the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer are connected by a zipper on either side, so that the edge sealing side can be opened and closed by the zipper to form an open or closed shape.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the anti-slip mat of the present invention utilizes the hollow design of the lower surface layer, allowing the lower surface of the inner layer, which is placed between the upper and lower surface layers, to protrude through the hollow holes to form a contact surface with an anti-slip effect, thus achieving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat. Furthermore, the hollow holes provide space for inserting or removing the inner layer, allowing the upper and lower surface layers and the inner layer to be removed for cleaning or replacement, improving the versatility and practicality of the anti-slip mat, increasing consumers' willingness to purchase, and reducing the need for additional anti-slip surface design, which helps to reduce the cost of the anti-slip mat, thus improving economic efficiency.

[0029] To enable your review committee to have a better understanding of the purpose, features, and effects of this invention, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] First, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, an anti-slip mat 10 comprises: an upper surface layer 11, a lower surface layer 12, and an inner layer 13 located between the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12. The inner layer 13 is made of a different material than the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12, and the lower surface of the inner layer 13 has an anti-slip effect. The periphery of the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12 are joined to form a sealing edge 14, further confining the inner layer 13 to the upper and lower surfaces. Within the accommodating space 15 formed between layers 11 and 12, the lower surface layer 12 has at least one perforation 121. The inner layer 13 can be inserted into the accommodating space 15 between the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12 through the perforation 121. When the inner layer 13 is laid flat in the accommodating space 15, the lower surface of the inner layer 13 can penetrate through the perforation 121 to form a contact surface 131, and can contact the surface of any material through the contact surface 131 to achieve the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat 10.

[0031] As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, in the aforementioned embodiment of the combination of the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12, the periphery of the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12 is formed by either sewing 14a or fastening 14b to form the edge seal 14. In addition, the periphery of the upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12 may be printed with adhesive 14c, and then the periphery is pressed together by hot pressing to form the edge seal 14. Accordingly, the edge seal 14 of the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12 is normally closed. The inner layer 13 is inserted into the receiving space 15 through the vent 121 or removed from the receiving space 15, so that the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12 and the inner layer 13 can be replaced and cleaned.

[0032] The aforementioned inner layer 13 is made of at least one of the following materials with anti-slip properties: thermosetting material, thermoplastic material, natural rubber, and plant material. The upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12 are made of at least one of the following materials: fabric, leather, and wool. The surface of the inner layer 13 is flat. When stepped on or sat on, the lower surface of the inner layer 13 will have perforations 121 to form a contact surface 131 that contacts the ground or chair surface to form an anti-slip effect (as shown in Figure 3). Alternatively, the inner layer 13 can also be... The non-planar structure 132 has a three-dimensional structure. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the three-dimensional structure 132 includes a plurality of raised portions 1321 formed on one side surface and a plurality of recesses 1322 formed on the other side surface opposite to the raised portions 1321. The inner layer 13 utilizes the raised portions 1321 and the recesses 1322 to achieve breathability, lightness and elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation and moisture wicking when the anti-slip mat 10 is used, while also providing comfort for stepping on and sitting on.

[0033] In the aforementioned embodiment of the lower surface layer 12 of the anti-slip mat 10, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the perforations 121 of the lower surface layer 12 can be any shape of opening, including circular, elliptical, square, and geometrically shaped openings. Furthermore, the perforations 121 are not limited to a single design in a single space; multiple perforations 121 can be provided on the lower surface layer 12. This embodiment uses two perforations as an example. The two perforations 121 can be any shape of opening, including circular, elliptical, square, and geometrically shaped openings. The two perforations 121 are not limited to the same shape. Based on this design of the two perforations 121, when both feet step on the anti-slip mat 10, the lower surface of the inner layer 13 can be exposed through the two perforations 121 to form two contact surfaces 131, thereby improving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat 10.

[0034] Another embodiment of the lower surface layer 12 of the aforementioned anti-slip pad 10, as shown in Figure 11, is provided with a plurality of parallel and elongated perforated holes 121. The area occupied by the elongated perforated holes 121 is 10% to 90% of the total area of ​​the lower surface layer 12, wherein the area occupied by the perforated holes 121 is preferably between 40% and 70%.

[0035] In another embodiment of the aforementioned anti-slip mat 10, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the lower surface layer 12 is constructed as a woven mesh 120. This mesh 120 has a plurality of mesh openings 1201, thereby forming a plurality of perforated holes 121 on the lower surface layer 12. This allows the surface of the inner layer 13 to permeate through the perforated holes 121, forming the contact surface 131, thus achieving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat 10. The upper surface layer 11 and the lower surface layer 12 can be connected by a zipper 16 on either side of their periphery. This allows the edge sealing 14 to be opened by the zipper 16 to form an opening for the inner layer 13 to be inserted into the receiving space 15. Finally, the zipper 16 closes the opening to form a seal. This allows the inner layer 13 to be inserted and removed, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing and cleaning the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12 and the inner layer 13.

[0036] In summary, when the anti-slip mat 10 is used as a floor mat, seat cushion, or step mat, the elastic cushioning and rebound properties of the inner layer 13 can provide users with better comfort. Furthermore, when the inner layer 13 is compressed, the contact surface 131 formed by the perforated holes 121 can reliably contact the ground or chair surface to form an anti-slip surface, preventing the anti-slip mat 10 from sliding and ensuring the stability and safety of use.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper surface of the inner layer 13 may be provided with a pad material with water absorption and moisture wicking effects, such as diatomaceous earth pads, but not limited to this, so that the anti-slip mat 10 has the functions of water absorption, moisture wicking and breathability, and can be used as a bathroom mat, so that the user's feet can step on it to absorb water, avoid the risk of slipping and falling due to wet feet, and at the same time help to improve the dryness of the anti-slip mat 10 and reduce mold, thus improving its practicality.

[0038] By utilizing the structure of the above-described specific embodiments, the following benefits can be obtained: The anti-slip mat 10 of the present invention utilizes the hollow hole 121 design of the lower surface layer 12, allowing the lower surface of the inner layer 13, which is housed between the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12, to protrude through the hollow hole 121 to form a contact surface 131 with an anti-slip effect, thereby achieving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip mat 10. Furthermore, the hollow hole 121 provides the housing space 15 for inserting or removing the inner layer 13, allowing the upper and lower surface layers 11 and 12, as well as the inner layer 13, to be removed for cleaning or replacement. This enhances the versatility and practicality of the anti-slip mat 10, increases consumers' willingness to purchase, and reduces the need for additional anti-slip surface design, thus helping to lower the cost of the anti-slip mat 10 and improving economic efficiency.

[0039] In conclusion, this invention has indeed achieved a breakthrough in structural design and possesses improved inventive content. At the same time, it can achieve industrial applicability and progress. Furthermore, this invention has not been published in any publication and also possesses novelty. Therefore, it meets the relevant provisions of the Patent Law. Thus, we have filed an invention patent application in accordance with the law and earnestly request the Examining Committee of the Bureau to grant legal patent rights. We are deeply grateful.
