Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schmutzfangmatte nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a dirt control mat the preamble of claim 1.

Schmutzfangmatten als Reinigungsmittel für Schuhwerk beispielsweise in Eingangsbereichen von Gebäuden sind in einer Reihe von verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt.Dirt trap mats as cleaning agents for footwear for example in entrance areas of buildings are in a number of different embodiments are known.

So ist beispielsweise aus der DE 44 07 231 ein mattenartiger Fussabstreifer bekannt, welcher aus zahlreichen, parallel zueinander verlaufende, flexibel miteinander verbundene Profilträger gebildet ist. Die Profile weisen dabei eine im wesentlichen H-förmige Querschnittsform auf, wobei jeweils gegen die Ober- wie gegen die Unterseite des Fussabstreifers längsverlaufende Kammern resp. Nuten gebildet sind. In den gegen die Oberseite weisenden Kammern resp. Nuten sind elastische Abstreifelemente eingelassen, welche eine strukturierte Oberfläche aufweisen oder aus einem bürstenartigen Flies bestehen. Die Profile sind durch in mittlerer Höhe quer durch die Profilträger hindurch geführten Seile verbunden, welche jeweils in den zwei seitlichen Endprofilen verankert sind. Zwischen benachbarten Profilen sind jeweils flexibel, gummiartige Abstandselemente angeordnet, durch welche hindurch die Seile geführt sind, und welche das Aufrollen des Fussabstreifers zu einer zylindrischen Rolle erlauben. Der Fussabstreifer weist allerdings eine durch die Profilform bedingte grosse Höhe resp. Dicke der Matte auf, was auch zu einem entsprechend grossen Platzbedarf für die Lagerung und den Einsatz der Matte führt. Auch ist der Aufbau des Fussabstreifers durch die Vielzahl an verschiedenen Komponenten aufwendig, was zu hohen Produktionskosten führt. Weiter sind die Abmessungen der einmal gefertigten Matten konstruktionsbedingt nur mit grossem Aufwand veränderbar. Hierfür müssen die Seile aus ihren Halterungen entfernt werden, die entsprechende Anzahl bestehender Profile entfernt oder hinzugefügt werden, und anschliessend neue Seile in der entsprechenden Länge eingebaut werden.For example, DE 44 07 231 is a mat-like one Known wipers, which consist of numerous, parallel mutually extending, flexibly connected Profile carrier is formed. The profiles have an im essential H-shaped cross-sectional shape, with each against the top and bottom of the wiper longitudinal chambers resp. Grooves are formed. In the against the top facing chambers resp. Are grooves elastic scraper elements embedded, which a have structured surface or from a brush-like fleece exist. The profiles are through in medium height led through the profile beams Ropes connected, each in the two side End profiles are anchored. Between neighboring profiles are flexible, rubber-like spacers arranged, through which the ropes are guided, and which rolling up the wiper into one Allow cylindrical roller. The wiper points however, a high height due to the profile shape respectively. Thickness of the mat on, which also leads to a corresponding large space requirement for storage and use of the Mat leads. The construction of the wiper is also done the multitude of different components costly, too leads to high production costs. The dimensions are further the mats once made only due to the design great effort changeable. For this, the ropes have to be removed their brackets are removed, the corresponding number existing profiles are removed or added, and then new ropes in the appropriate length to be built in.

Aus der EP 0 524 445 ist nun eine aufrollbare Fussmatte bekannt, welche ebenfalls aus zahlreichen, parallel zueinander verlaufenden Profilen aufgebaut ist. Die Profile werden nun aber durch ebenfalls parallel verlaufende, in entsprechend ausgebildete Kupplungskanten der Profile verschwenkbar eingreifende Verbindungsprofile miteinander verbunden. Damit ist eine nachträgliche Veränderung der Grösse der Fussmatte durch hinzufügen resp. entfernen von Profilstreifen verhältnismässig einfach möglich. Die Profile sind dabei jeweils derart ausgebildet, dass sie eine nach oben weisende, über die gesamte Profilbreite ausgebildete Nut zur Aufnahme von elastischen Floorleisten aufweisen oder direkt in die Profiloberfläche integrierte längsverlaufende Profilierung besitzen. Diese Lösung erlaubt zwar einen flexibleren Aufbau der Fussmatte bei geringerer Bauhöhe im Vergleich zur ersten vorgestellten Lösung, weist jedoch ebenfalls auch immer noch den Nachteil von mehreren verschiedenen Komponenten zum Aufbau der Fussmatte auf. Insbesondere treten auch Probleme bei der zuverlässigen Befestigung der Floorleisten auf, wenn diese in einer bedingt durch eine kleine Dicke des Profils flachen Nut eingebracht werden müssen. Dabei besteht das Risiko, dass sich die Floorleisten gerade an den Profilenden durch Benutzung vom Profilboden ablösen und damit das Risiko besteht, dass die gesamt Floorleiste aus dem Profilboden des Profils ausgerissen wird. EP 0 524 445 is now a roll-up doormat known, which also from numerous, parallel mutually extending profiles is built. The profiles but are now also parallel in, appropriately designed coupling edges of the profiles pivotably engaging connecting profiles with each other connected. This is a subsequent change in Add the size of the doormat. remove from Profile strips relatively easy. The profiles are each designed such that they follow one groove on top, formed over the entire profile width to accommodate elastic floor strips or longitudinally integrated directly into the profile surface Own profiling. This solution allows one more flexible construction of the floor mat with a lower overall height in the Comparison to the first solution presented, however, points also still the disadvantage of several various components to build up the doormat. In particular, problems also arise with the reliable Fixing the floor rails if this is conditional introduced through a small thickness of the profile shallow groove Need to become. There is a risk that the Floor strips straight at the profile ends by using the Remove the profile floor and there is a risk that the Complete floor strip from the profile floor of the profile is torn out.

Weiter ist aus der EP 351373 eine ähnliche Fussmatte bekannt, die aus einzelnen Profilen besteht, welche miteinander über eine durchgehende Zapfen-Nut-Verbindung verbunden sind, wobei die Verbindungsstelle teilweise verschwenkbar ausgebildet ist, derart, dass die Matte nach einer Seite hin zusammengerollt werden kann. Die Profile weisen eine nach oben offene Rückhaltenut auf, in welche Bürstenleisten als nach oben wirkende Reinigungsmittel seitlich eingeschoben und darin festgehalten werden können. Die Bürsten der Bürstenleiste werden zusätzlich durch nach oben gerichtete Wangen der Profile gestützt und behalten dadurch ihre Form bei. A similar floor mat is also known from EP 351373, which consists of individual profiles, which over each other a continuous pin-groove connection are connected, wherein the connection point is partially pivotable is such that the mat to one side can be rolled up. The profiles show one open top groove in which brush strips as detergents acting upwards inserted laterally and can be recorded in it. The brushes of the Brush strips are additionally directed upwards Cheeks of the profiles supported and thereby keep their shape at.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung lag nun darin, eine Fussmatte der genannten Art zu finden, welche einfach und anpassungsfähig im Aufbau ist, eine möglichst geringe Einbauhöhe aufweist und die Schmutzabstreifmittel zuverlässig darin gehalten sind.The object of the present invention was now a To find doormat of the type mentioned, which is simple and is adaptable in structure, the lowest possible Installation height and the dirt wiping agent reliable are kept in it.

This can both in the manufacture of pre-assembled mats take place in standard sizes, but advantageously also done subsequently without the dirt trap mat has to be elaborately processed.

    Für die Reinigungswirkung ist erfindungsgemäss vorgesehen, dass Borstenbüschel 5 nach oben weisend in entsprechend ausgebildeten Ausnehmungen 6 direkt im Profilkörper selbst angeordnet sind. Die Borstenbüschel 5 können vorzugsweise in Form von zylindrisch angeordneten Bündeln eingesetzt werden. Durch diese Anordnung wird eine optimale Reinigungswirkung der Sohlen von Schuhwerk erzielt, wobei dank der Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Borstenbüschel 5 einerseits die ggf. in den Sohle vorhandenen Profilrillen durch die Borstenbüschel 5 gut erreicht werden und andererseits davon entfernter Schmutz nach unten zur Profiloberfläche abgleiten kann und nicht auf den Reinigungsmitteln zurückbleibt und deren Wirkung vermindert.According to the invention, for the cleaning effect, that tufts of bristles 5 pointing upwards accordingly trained recesses 6 directly in the profile body itself are arranged. The bristle tufts 5 can preferably be in Form of cylindrically arranged bundles can be used. This arrangement ensures an optimal cleaning effect the soles of footwear achieved, thanks to the Gaps between the individual tufts of bristles 5 on the one hand, the profile grooves that may be present in the sole can be easily reached by the tufts of 5 and on the other hand, dirt removed from it down to Profile surface can slide and not on the Detergent remains and their effectiveness is reduced.

    Die Borstenbüschel 5 sind vorteilhaft direkt in die Ausnehmung 6 eingepresst, ohne die Verwendung von zusätzlichen Befestigungsmitteln wie beispielsweise Kunststoffleisten, in welche die Borstenbüschel eingebettet sind, wobei das Profil 1 vorzugsweise aus einer Aluminiumlegierung besteht.The bristle tufts 5 are advantageously directly in the Recess 6 pressed in without the use of additional fasteners such as Plastic strips in which the tufts of bristles are embedded are, the profile 1 preferably from a Aluminum alloy is made.

    Das Profil 1 ist vorzugsweise als ein im wesentlichen eine rechteckige Form aufweisendes Flachprofil ausgebildet, wie insbesondere aus der Aufsicht nach Figur 2 ersichtlich ist. Ebenfalls für die Abführung des von den Sohlen der Schuhe entfernten Schmutzes sind die in der Oberfläche der Profile 1 vorzugsweise angeordneten, zur Profilunterseite durchgehenden Abführschlitze 7 vorgesehen. Der durch die Borstenbüschel 5 von den Sohlen der Schuhe entfernte Schmutz kann durch diese Abführschlitze 7 in den durch die an der Unterseite des Profils 1 angeordneten Vertiefung 8 zusammen mit dem Boden gebildeten Raum gelangen. Damit kann der einmal entfernte Schmutz nicht einfach wieder an die Sohle des nächsten auf die Schmutzfangmatte auftretenden Schuhes gelangen. Durch einfaches Anheben der Schmutzfangmatte kann periodisch dieser Schmutz entfernt werden. Profile 1 is preferably essentially one rectangular shaped flat profile, such as can be seen in particular from the supervision according to FIG. Also for the removal of the soles of the shoes removed dirt are those in the surface of the profiles 1 preferably arranged, continuous to the bottom of the profile Discharge slots 7 are provided. The through the tufts of bristles 5 Dirt removed from the soles of shoes can pass through them Discharge slots 7 in through the at the bottom of the Profile 1 arranged recess 8 together with the bottom formed space. This means that once removed Don't just dirt up on the sole of the next one the dirt trapping mat. By Simply lifting the dust control mat can do this periodically Dirt are removed.

    In der Aufsicht nach Figur 2 ist weiter die vorzugsweise versetzte Anordnung der Borstenbüschel 5 dargestellt, welche einerseits die Reinigungswirkung unterstützt und andererseits das Abführen des Schmutzes resp. Zuführen zu den Abführschlitzen 7 erleichtert. Dies wird zusätzlich durch die Anordnung der Borstenbüschel in bevorzugter Distanz untereinander, nämlich mindestens das 1,5-fache resp. 2-fache des Durchmessers der Borstenbüschel 5 unterstützt.In the supervision according to FIG. 2, this is also preferred offset arrangement of the bristle tufts 5 shown, which on the one hand supports the cleaning effect and on the other hand the removal of the dirt resp. Feed to the Leakage slots 7 facilitated. This is additionally supported by the Arrangement of the bristle tufts at a preferred distance with each other, namely at least 1.5 times resp. 2 times of the diameter of the bristle tufts 5 supported.

    In Figur 3 ist nun die Ansicht auf eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Profils 1 dargestellt. Das Profil 1 weist im wesentlichen denselben Aufbau wie bereits in Figuren 1 und 2 beschrieben auf, d.h. es sind ebenfalls an der Profiloberseite nach oben abragende Borstenbüschel 5 versetzt in jeweils eigenen Ausnehmungen eingebracht angeordnet. Zu beiden Längsseiten des Profils 1 sind nun noch zusätzlich in der Profiloberseite längs verlaufende Nuten 9 resp. 10 angeordnet. In diese Nuten 9 resp. 10 können Zungen 13 einer elastischen Abdeckung 12, wie in Figur 4 im Querschnitt dargestellt ist, eingreifen, welche den zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Profilen 1 durch die Verbindung durch Feder resp. Kante 4 und Nut 3 gebildeten Spalt abdecken. Durch die Verwendung von elastischem Material wird die Verschwenkbarkeit der Verbindung der Profile 1 untereinander nicht beeinträchtigt, es kann damit aber wirkungsvoll verhindert werden, dass beispielsweise feine Schmutzpartikel in diesen Zwischenraum gelangen und damit die Schwenkbarkeit der Verbindung beeinträchtigen oder gar verunmöglichen könnten. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Abdeckung besteht darin, dass diese eine Längsverschiebung der einzelnen Profile 1 untereinander verhindert. Damit ist es möglich, allein aus diesen Elementen eine formstabile, aufrollbare Schmutzfangmatte zu bilden, welche keine Abschluss- oder Rahmenelemente benötigt.In Figure 3 is the view of another Embodiment of a profile 1 shown. Profile 1 has essentially the same structure as already in figures 1 and 2 described on, i.e. it is also at the Bristle tufts 5 protruding upwards from the profile arranged in their own recesses. To Both long sides of the profile 1 are now additionally in the profile top longitudinal grooves 9 respectively. 10 arranged. In these grooves 9 respectively. 10 can tongues 13 one elastic cover 12, as in Figure 4 in cross section is shown, which intervene between the two adjacent profiles 1 through the connection by spring respectively. Cover edge 4 and groove 3 formed gap. Through the The use of elastic material Pivotal connection of the profiles 1 with each other not affected, but it can be effective prevent, for example, fine dirt particles get into this space and thus the pivotability impair the connection or even make it impossible could. Another advantage of this cover is that this is a longitudinal displacement of the individual profiles 1 prevented among themselves. It is possible to do this alone these elements a stable, rollable To form a dirt-trapping mat, which has no finishing or Frame elements needed.

    Durch die Verwendung der erfindungsgemässen Profile 1 resp. 1' lassen sich auf einfache Weise mit kleinstem Aufwand Schmutzfangmatten in praktisch beliebigen Dimensionen anfertigen, welche eine sehr hohe Reinigungswirkung aufweisen und auch nachträglich einfach anpassbar sind.By using the inventive profiles 1 and 1 'can be done easily with the least effort Dirt trap mats in practically any dimensions make, which have a very high cleaning effect and can also be easily adjusted afterwards.
