Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive floor mat technology, and in particular to a novel automotive floor mat. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Car floor mats are environmentally friendly automotive interior parts that integrate five main functions: water absorption, dust absorption, stain removal, sound insulation, and protection of the main carpet. As interior decorations, car floor mats protect the cleanliness of the car's interior and exterior, serving an aesthetic and comfortable purpose. The water absorption, dust absorption, and stain removal functions of car floor mats effectively prevent residual moisture and dirt from shoes from slipping on the clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals, avoiding safety hazards and reducing the possibility of interior contamination and damage. After all, cleaning floor mats is more convenient and economical than cleaning the interior.

[0003] Existing car floor mats do not take into account the issue of placing items. For example, on rainy days, if you put your umbrella on the car floor mat after entering the car, it is very easy for the umbrella to roll around as the car moves, affecting the driver's foot movement and posing a certain traffic risk. In addition, the entire floor mat will become very dirty and messy.

[0004] Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a novel car floor mat to solve the above-mentioned problems. [Summary of the Invention]

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of car floor mat that allows for easy placement and removal of objects, protects the cleanliness of the floor mat and the driver's foot movement, and reduces the possibility of traffic risks.

[0006] To achieve at least one or more of the aforementioned advantages, one embodiment of the present invention provides a novel car floor mat. This novel car floor mat includes a recessed housing and a stop structure.

[0007] The recessed housing includes a bottom surface. A stop structure is provided on the bottom surface of the recessed housing to restrict the movement of the object.

[0008] In some embodiments, the stop structure protrudes at least 3 cm from the bottom surface.

[0009] In some embodiments, the novel car floor mat further includes a plurality of grooves spaced apart on the bottom surface of the recessed housing and lower than the stop structure.

[0010] In some embodiments, the grooves protrude from the bottom surface by at least 0.5 cm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the grooves are distributed at equal intervals on the bottom surface of the recessed housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the recessed housing is a front seat foot pad housing with a foot pedal portion, and the stop structure is close to the side wall of the front seat foot pad housing away from the foot pedal portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the recessed housing is a rear seat foot pad housing, and the stop structure is located below the storage box.

[0014] Therefore, by utilizing the novel car floor mat provided by the present invention, the stop structure allows for convenient placement and removal of objects, protects the cleanliness of the floor mat and the driver's foot movement, and reduces the possibility of traffic risks.

[0015] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, preferred embodiments are given below and described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0017] The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative and are intended to describe exemplary embodiments of the invention. However, the invention may be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited solely to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0018] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “an” as used herein are also intended to include the plural. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including” as used herein specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, units, and / or components, without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, units, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the novel car floor mat 10 of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a side view of the novel car floor mat 10 of the present invention. To achieve at least one or more of the aforementioned advantages, an embodiment of the present invention provides a novel car floor mat 10. As shown in the figures, the novel car floor mat 10 includes a driver's side floor mat 12, a passenger side floor mat 14, and a rear seat floor mat 16. The driver's side floor mat 12 and the passenger side floor mat 14 are collectively referred to as the front seat floor mats. Each floor mat includes a recessed housing 18 and a stop structure 20.

[0022] The recessed housing 18 has a structure where the sidewalls 182 at the edges stand up and the middle is recessed downwards. The recessed housing 18 includes a bottom surface 184. Preferably, the recessed housing 18 is made of a rigid material.

[0023] A stop structure 20 is disposed on the bottom surface 184 of the recessed housing 18 to restrict the movement of an object. Specifically, the stop structure 20 is elongated, and the space formed between its longer side and the side wall 182 of the recessed housing 18 can be used to place objects, such as bottles or umbrellas. Furthermore, after an object is placed inside, its movement range is fixed due to the stop structure 20; that is, the stop structure 20 restricts the movement of the object.

[0024] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the novel car floor mat 10 may further include a plurality of grooves 22, which are spaced apart on the bottom surface 184 of the recessed housing 18 to enhance the overall structural strength. Furthermore, the height of each groove 22 is lower than that of the stop structure 20. Preferably, the grooves 22 are distributed at equal intervals on the bottom surface 184 of the recessed housing 18.

[0025] In one embodiment, as shown in the upper part of FIG1, the two front seat floor mats (driver's side floor mat 12 and passenger side floor mat 14) have a recessed housing 18 that is a front seat floor mat housing 24, and have a foot pedal portion 242. The stop structure 20 is located close to the side wall 182 of the front seat floor mat housing 24 away from the foot pedal portion 242. In other words, the stop structure 20 is positioned close to the lower side wall 182, behind the heel, to facilitate foot movement.

[0026] In one embodiment, as shown in the lower part of FIG1, the recessed housing 18 of the rear seat floor mat 16 is the rear seat floor mat housing 26. At this time, the stop structure 20 is located below the storage compartment. For example, in Tesla cars, the area below the rear seat storage compartment is empty, so the stop structure 20 can be placed below the storage compartment, which does not affect the aesthetics, allows for the storage of items, and effectively utilizes the unused space.

[0027] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the stop structure 20 protrudes at least 3 cm from the bottom surface 184 of the recessed housing 18 to have a better function of restricting the movement of objects.

[0028] In one embodiment, the groove 22 protrudes from the bottom surface 184 by at least 0.5 cm, and the height of the groove 22 is lower than that of the stop structure 20 to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0029] In summary, the novel car floor mat 10 provided by the present invention, through the setting of the stop structure 20, allows for convenient placement and removal of objects, protects the cleanliness of the floor mat and the driver's foot movement, and reduces the possibility of traffic risks.

[0030] The detailed description of the preferred embodiments above is intended to more clearly describe the features and spirit of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention by the preferred embodiments disclosed above. Rather, the aim is to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements within the scope of the patent claims to be made by the present invention. [Simplified Explanation of the Diagram]
