Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The problem to be solved by this invention is to suppress the inconvenience caused by seams between rugs in a rug that can be laid in multiple layers on the floor surface.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] To solve the above problems, this invention provides the following [1] to [4].

[0006] [1] A rug that can be laid in multiple layers on the floor surface, comprising a pile composed of a plurality of pile yarns and a base material that holds the pile. The base material has a flocking part provided so that the pile yarns protrude and an outer peripheral part that surrounds the flocking part. The pile length of the pile is set to be longer than the width of the outer peripheral part. As a result, the pile is configured to be able to cover the entire surface of the outer peripheral part when the posture of the plurality of pile yarns changes to lie down.

[0007] [2] The rug according to [1], wherein the pile length of the pile is set to be longer than twice the width of the outer perimeter.

[0008] [3] The base material is square in shape, a mat of [1] or [2].

[0009] [4] The base material has a floor contact portion that contacts the floor surface, and the shape of the floor contact portion is a triangular grid, one of the floor coverings from [1] to [3]. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] By employing the above-described means, this invention can suppress the inconvenience caused by seams between multiple rugs laid on a floor surface. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a plan view of a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram illustrating a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram illustrating a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a bottom view of a mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] This invention can be implemented, for example, in a rug X as described below. Rug X is provided as an example for the purpose of explaining the technical idea of ​​this invention and does not limit the scope of the technical idea of ​​this invention. Furthermore, the components of rug X, as well as the materials, shapes, dimensions, number, and arrangement of those components, can be modified within the scope of the technical idea of ​​this invention.

[0013] Floor covering X is a tile-type material that can be laid in multiple layers on the floor. Floor covering X may be a carpet or a rug.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the carpet X includes a pile 1 and a base material 2 that holds the pile 1. Note that in FIG. 2, the pile 1 is omitted.

[0015] The pile 1 is composed of a plurality of pile yarns 11. The pile yarns 11 may be synthetic fibers, natural fibers, or mixed fibers thereof, and may be formed as cut pile or loop pile.

[0016] The pile yarns 11 are provided so as to protrude from the front surface of the base material 2. The plurality of pile yarns 11 are provided so as to be uniform such that their protrusion amounts fall within a general variation range.

[0017] Hereinafter, the pile length l of the pile 1 is defined as the average protrusion amount of the plurality of pile yarns 11 that constitute the pile 1.

[0018] The base material 2 is a plate-like member that holds the pile 1 and defines the overall shape of the carpet X. The shape of the base material 2 is selected assuming that a plurality of them are laid on the floor surface. A preferred shape of the base material 2 is a square. Alternatively, the shape of the base material 2 may be a quadrilateral such as a rectangle, a parallelogram, or a trapezoid, a triangle such as an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle, or a polygon such as a regular pentagon or a regular hexagon.

[0019] The material of the base material 2 is selected assuming that it firmly holds the pile 1. The material of the base material 2 may be a synthetic resin material, a rubber material, a fiber material, or a composite material thereof. The structure of the base material 2 may be a single-layer structure made of a single material or a multi-layer structure made of a plurality of materials.

[0020] The base material 2 has a flocked portion 21 where the pile yarns 11 are provided and an outer peripheral portion 22 that surrounds the flocked portion 21.

[0021] The pile portion 21 is an area provided on the front surface of the base material 2 so that the pile yarns 11 protrude. The base material 2 holds the pile 1 by the pile portion 21 holding the pile yarns 11. The pile portion 21 holds the pile yarns 11 by a known method. The pile portion 21 is formed in a shape that reduces the shape of the base material 2 and is arranged at the center of the front surface of the base material 2.

[0022] The outer peripheral portion 22 is an area on the front surface of the base material 2 where the pile yarns 11 are not provided and / or an area where the pile yarns 11 are not provided so as to protrude. The outer peripheral portion 22 is formed in an annular shape along the shape of the base material 2 and is arranged around the pile portion 21, that is, on the outer periphery of the front surface of the base material 2.

[0023] Hereinafter, the width d of the outer peripheral portion 22 is defined as the distance from the inner edge to the outer edge of the outer peripheral portion 22. Usually, the most frequent value (for example, the distance in the straight or curved portion of the outer peripheral portion 22) is used as the distance from the inner edge to the outer edge of the outer peripheral portion 22. However, in view of the effects of the present invention, the maximum value (for example, the distance in the folded line portion of the outer peripheral portion 22) may be used.

[0024] The pile length l of the pile 1 is set to be longer than the width d of the outer peripheral portion 22. As a result, the pile 1 is configured to be able to cover the entire surface of the outer peripheral portion 22 when the postures of the plurality of pile yarns 11 change so as to lie down.

[0025] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable that the pile length l of the pile 1 is set to be longer than twice the width d of the outer peripheral portion 22. As a result, it is preferable that the pile 1 is configured to be able to cover the entire surfaces of two outer peripheral portions 22 that are continuous at the seam between the futons X when the postures of the plurality of pile yarns 11 change so as to lie down.

[0026] The pile length l of such pile 1 is more preferably 5 mm or more, more preferably 7 mm or more, more preferably 10 mm or more, more preferably 15 mm or more, and more preferably 20 mm or more. There is no particular upper limit to the pile length l of pile 1, but for example it may be 30 mm or less.

[0027] As shown in Figure 5, the base material 2 has a floor contact portion 23 that contacts the floor surface.

[0028] The floor contact area 23 is the entire area of ​​the back surface of the base material 2. The shape and material of the floor contact area 23 are selected with considerations such as anti-slip properties, durability, and floor protection. A preferred shape for the floor contact area 23 is a triangular grid. The material of the floor contact area 23 may be a synthetic resin material (e.g., polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene), a rubber material, or a composite material thereof.
