Description

A removable carpet Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carpet technology, and more specifically, to a removable carpet. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional carpets are typically designed with a fixed structure, making them difficult to disassemble and clean, resulting in inconvenience in maintenance and cleaning. Some removable carpet designs suffer from unstable connections, easy misalignment, and cumbersome operation. Therefore, a carpet design that is easy to clean and has a secure connection is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a removable carpet to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] This invention provides a removable carpet, characterized in that it comprises:

[0005] The structure is a carpet surface with multiple edges;

[0006] Multiple edge strips connect to the bottom side of the carpet, with some edge strips and the carpet surface being separate structures;

[0007] The base layer is a mat with multiple edges;

[0008] The floor mat is detachably connected to the carpet surface through the friction between multiple edge strips and the floor mat;

[0009] When the floor mat and carpet are detachably connected, multiple edge strips wrap around the edges of the floor mat to prevent the carpet from rolling up and shifting.

[0010] Multiple edge strips are connected to the outer perimeter of the bottom edge of the carpet surface; and

[0011] Each strip extends along the outer perimeter of each edge of the carpet surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the edge strips are detachably connected to the carpet surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the edge strips and the mat are detachably connected by a friction structure, which includes a surface with high roughness or a textured pattern formed by surface treatment.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface treatment methods include at least one of flame treatment, silicone dotting, or hot pressing.

[0015] Furthermore, the number of edge strips corresponds to the number of edges on the carpet surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the floor mat and the carpet are connected by a fixing structure located at predetermined points on the edge of the carpet, thereby fixing the floor mat to the predetermined points on the carpet.

[0017] Furthermore, the predetermined points are located at each edge of the carpet surface; wherein the fixing structure is a slot structure, and the floor mat is inserted into the slot structure to fix the floor mat to each edge of the carpet surface. Beneficial effects

[0018] 1. Easy to clean and maintain: Because the carpet surface, edge strips, and mat are designed as separate units, users can easily disassemble each part for individual cleaning or replacement. For example, if the carpet surface gets dirty, it can be removed directly for washing without moving the entire carpet, greatly reducing cleaning difficulty and workload.

[0019] 2. Flexible matching and personalized selection: The rug and floor mat can be replaced separately. Users can choose different colors, patterns, or materials for the rug according to personal preferences or seasonal changes, while retaining the original floor mat. This not only enhances the product's aesthetics but also extends the rug's lifespan and reduces replacement costs.

[0020] 3. Enhanced durability and cost savings: When a part of the carpet (such as the carpet surface or mat) wears or is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, instead of discarding the entire carpet. This reduces resource waste, lowers long-term usage costs, and is also more environmentally friendly.

[0021] 4. Enhanced stability and safety: The edge strip design ensures a tighter connection between the carpet and the mat, preventing the slippage or curling issues common with traditional carpets, thus improving safety and comfort. Furthermore, the mat can be selected in different thicknesses or materials to suit various floor conditions and functional needs.

[0022] 5. Adaptable to various scenarios: The carpet's modular design allows for flexible adaptation to different usage scenarios. For example, a soft and comfortable mat can be chosen for the home, while a more durable and easy-to-clean material can be selected for the office. This flexibility enables the product to meet diverse user needs.

[0023] In summary, this application, through its split-structure design, not only solves the problems of inconvenient cleaning and the need for complete replacement of carpets when damaged in parts, but also improves the product's aesthetics, durability, and economy, while taking into account safety and flexibility in use, providing users with a more practical and environmentally friendly carpet solution.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, this application provides a removable carpet 10, including a carpet surface 100, edge strips 200, and a mat 300. A. Carpet Surface

[0042] Blanket 100 can be designed with various patterns, colors, and textures to cater to different users' aesthetic preferences. For example, it can feature geometric designs, artistic prints, or natural textures (such as wood or stone grain) to complement modern, vintage, or natural-style home décor. The material of Blanket 100 can be customized to specific functional needs. For instance, thick polyester or wool can be used for sound insulation, effectively reducing noise and making it ideal for living rooms or bedrooms. Materials such as PVC or diatomaceous earth can be used for waterproofing, making it suitable for damp areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. In some embodiments, Blanket 100 can also be made from wool, synthetic fibers, cotton, blends, silk, bamboo fiber, or diatomaceous earth. Furthermore, it can be manufactured using machine-woven, hand-woven, tufted, needle-punched, or printed processes. The surface texture of Blanket 100 can include options such as long pile, short pile, loop pile, cut pile, or plain weave. In practical use, customers can choose the type of Blanket 100 based on specific usage scenarios, functional requirements, and aesthetic tastes.

[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the carpet surface 100 and the floor mat 300 are detachably connected. This connection method is suitable for simple home or office environments with low decoration requirements, and features simple structure, easy cleaning and replacement, and low cost.

[0044] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the detachable connection is achieved through the edge strip 200. The carpet surface 100 is detachably connected to the floor mat 300 via the friction between the edge strip 200 and the floor mat 300. This design not only enhances the flexibility of use but also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly according to user needs, improving the product's practicality and user experience. The secure connection of the edge strip 200 ensures a close fit between the carpet surface 100 and the floor mat 300 while maintaining ease of disassembly, making it suitable for various usage scenarios.

[0045] In Embodiment 1, the removable carpet 10 employs a design where the carpet surface 100 and the backing fabric 101 together wrap around the floor mat 300. For example, as shown in Figure 2, in Embodiment 1, the carpet surface 100 and the backing fabric 101 are designed with one side sewn and three sides open. The single-side sewing ensures that the carpet surface 100 is not easily displaced, enhancing comfort. The three-side opening design facilitates disassembly and cleaning. As shown in Figure 2, the carpet surface 100 and the backing fabric 101 form an inner cavity with three open sides, which is closed by a zipper structure 107. The zipper structure 107 includes zipper teeth 1071 and a zipper head 1072. The zipper head 1072 closes the zipper teeth 1071 on the carpet surface 100 and the zipper teeth 1071 on the backing fabric 101 to provide a more secure closure and prevent the floor mat 300 from slipping out.

[0046] In some embodiments, the side of the base fabric 101 facing the ground (also referred to as the back of the base fabric) is constructed as a surface with anti-slip properties to improve anti-slip performance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the surface of the carpet 100 facing the mat 300 and the surface of the backing fabric 101 facing the mat 300 are constructed as damping fabrics with a certain degree of softness to prevent the mat 300 from sliding freely.

[0048] In some embodiments, the three open edges between the blanket surface 100 and the backing fabric 101 are closed by a two-way zipper to seal the inner cavity. Two zipper pulls are located at both ends of the three open edges and move towards the center until the inner cavity is closed.

[0049] In some embodiments, the three open edges of the blanket 100 have multiple zippers.

[0050] In some embodiments, a Velcro or magnetic structure is installed between the three open edges of the blanket 100 and the three open edges of the backing fabric 101 facing the blanket 100. This allows the back of the blanket 100 to be attached to the surface of the backing fabric 101 facing the blanket 100 by Velcro or magnets, which is both convenient and secure.

[0051] In some embodiments, the edge strip 200 covers the junction between the three open edges of the blanket surface 100 and the three open edges of the backing fabric 101 facing the blanket surface 100 to enhance the overall aesthetics.

[0052] B. Edge strip

[0053] In this embodiment, the edge strip 200 is connected to the side of the carpet surface 100 facing the floor mat 300. The edge strip 200 and the carpet surface 100 are separate structures. The edge strip 200 not only has decorative properties, but also effectively wraps the floor mat 300, enhancing the overall aesthetics while preventing the edges of the carpet surface 100 from curling up, thus improving the stability and durability of the carpet 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the edge strip 200 and the carpet surface 100 are connected by a fixed connection. For example, as shown in FIG3, the fixed connection is achieved by a locking structure 102, which includes a stitch 1021. The stitch 1021 passes through the edges of the edge strip 200 and the carpet surface 100, locking them together to prevent movement and wrinkling between the carpet surface 100 and the floor mat 300.

[0055] In Embodiment 2, as shown in Figure 4, the fixed connection is achieved by wrapping the edge with the edge banding strip 108 to form a firm and flat edge. This connection method not only enhances the stability of the overall structure but also effectively prevents wear or curling of the carpet surface 100 edge, improving the aesthetics and durability of the removable carpet 10.

[0056] In embodiment 3, as shown in FIG5, the fixed connection is achieved by adhesive structure 103. Adhesive structure 103 is hot melt adhesive or double-sided tape applied to the contact surface between the edge strip 200 and the carpet surface 100 to bond the two together.

[0074] In embodiment 9, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the carpet patch 201 is disposed on the side of the edge strip 200 facing the ground to increase the friction between the removable carpet 10 and the ground, prevent slipping, enhance the firmness of the connection between the removable carpet 10 and the ground, and at the same time improve the softness and sound insulation of the removable carpet 10, thereby enhancing comfort.

[0075] In some embodiments, the carpet patch 201 and the edge strip 200 may be connected by Velcro, magnets, buttons, adhesive or nail structures.

[0076] In some embodiments, the edge strip 200 is attached to the side of the floor mat 300 facing the carpet surface 100. The edge strip 200 and the floor mat 300 are separate structures.

[0077] In some embodiments, the edge strip 200 and the floor mat 300 are connected in a fixed or detachable manner.

[0078] C. Floor mats

[0079] To facilitate installation, a pre-fixing structure can be installed between the floor mat 300 and the carpet surface 100 during installation to prevent misalignment. The floor mat 300 is detachably connected to the center or four corners of the carpet surface 100 via the pre-fixing structure to pre-secure the floor mat 300. For example, center pre-fixing means that a pre-fixing structure is installed at the center of the floor mat 300 and the carpet surface 100 to ensure alignment during installation. Four-corner pre-fixing means that pre-fixing structures are installed at the four corners of the floor mat 300 and the carpet surface 100 respectively to prevent the corners from lifting or shifting.

[0080] In Embodiment 10, as shown in FIG13, the pre-fixing structure is a slot structure 301. The floor mat 300 is detachably connected to the carpet surface 100 via the slot structure 301. The slot structure 301 is located at the four corners of the carpet surface 100, and the four corners of the floor mat 300 can be selectively inserted into the slot structures 301 at the four corners of the carpet surface 100. By inserting the four corners of the floor mat 300 into the slot structures 301, the floor mat 300 and the carpet surface 100 are pre-fixed. Then, the four sides of the floor mat 300 are respectively inserted between the four side strips 200 and the carpet surface 100 to fix the floor mat 300.

[0081] In embodiment 11, as shown in FIG14, the position of the carpet surface 100 corresponding to the position of the slot structure 301 is detachably connected to the position of the slot structure 301 corresponding to the position of the carpet surface 100 via the Velcro structure 104.

[0082] During use, the carpet 100 and the floor mat 300 are tightly integrated, providing dust removal, anti-slip, and shock absorption functions. When cleaning or replacement is required, the four corners of the floor mat 300 can be removed from the slot structure 301, allowing the floor mat 300 to be cleaned or replaced separately without replacing the entire carpet 10, saving costs and time, and meeting different needs (such as replacing the carpet 100 with different colors or functions).

[0083] In some embodiments, the edge of the carpet 100 facing the mat 300 is connected to the edge of the slot structure 301 facing the carpet 100 by a magnet or button structure.

[0084] In some embodiments, the floor mat 300 has a hook side facing the ground and a loop side facing the ground at the corresponding position. These can be pressed together to achieve a connection, making it simple to operate, easy to disassemble and replace, and suitable for occasions requiring frequent adjustments.

[0085] In some embodiments, the adhesive is applied evenly to the side of the floor mat 300 facing the ground and to the corresponding location on the ground. Then, pressure is applied to ensure the removable carpet 10 is firmly bonded to the ground. This method is suitable for hard floors (such as wood flooring or tile), providing a secure hold and preventing slippage.

[0086] In some embodiments, the side of the floor mat 300 facing the ground and the corresponding position on the ground are connected by tape.

[0087] In some embodiments, the floor mat 300 is attached to the corresponding position on the floor facing the ground by carpet pegs or carpet strips. Carpet pegs are suitable for thick or large removable carpets 10, while carpet strips provide a secure hold for long-term use.

[0088] In some embodiments, an anti-slip mat is laid on the side of the floor mat 300 facing the ground to ensure that the floor mat fits tightly against the ground, increase the friction between the removable carpet 10 and the ground, and prevent slipping, which is especially suitable for smooth floors.

[0089] In some embodiments, in order to secure the removable carpet 10, weights (such as furniture or counterweights) are placed at the four corners of the removable carpet 10 to help secure it. This method is suitable for temporary installations or small removable carpets 10, and is simple to operate without the need for additional tools.

[0090] In some embodiments, to secure the removable carpet 10, detachable slot structures are designed at the four corners of the surface of the removable carpet 10 or on the side facing the ground. Placing heavy objects into the slot structures enhances the securing effect, while also facilitating disassembly and adjustment, providing a more stable fixation for scenarios requiring flexible adjustment.

[0091] The above embodiments are merely examples of this disclosure and should not be used to limit the scope of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made without departing from the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
