DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a front perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the opposite ends of the mat body 1 are cut out so that the convex notch 2 at one end and the concave notch 3 at the other end are formed into a shape that fits each other. The surface of the mat body 1 is formed in a concave / convex strip 3 having a shallow groove along the longitudinal direction, and a reflector 4 is formed in a hook shape on the back surface so as to not protrude from the surface. . A band-shaped reflector 5 is attached to the side of the thick part of the mat body 1 in the longitudinal direction.

The mat body 1 is formed of a flexible and elastic material such as a natural rubber plate or a synthetic resin plate, and a plurality of mats are fitted to each other by the convex notch 2 and the concave notch 3. Has been long connected. The dimensions of the fitting concave / convex notch portion of the mat body 1 are formed slightly larger, and the notch portion is deformed and compressed to be strongly locked by press-fitting the fitting portion. This fitting form is a locking shape that does not come off even if pulled in the longitudinal direction, and when stepping on a so-called temporary mat with a car, it is difficult to shift up and down even if pressing force and shear force are applied and it is strong against pulling It has a locking structure capable of obtaining a locking force.

Accordingly, the locking structure is not particularly limited as long as it can withstand such external force.
As shown in FIG. 7, the concave notches 3 at both ends may have the same shape, and may be fitted via a connecting member 6 having a shape complementary to the shape of the concave notch 3. However, it is preferable that the connecting member 6 used in this case is formed of a material having the same flexibility and elasticity as the mat body, since the above-described locking force can be obtained. In this way, when the mat of the present invention is long and is temporarily installed in the cross direction of the road surface, even if the car runs on the mat, it does not easily come off, but the notches are sequentially fitted from the end. If removed, it can be easily removed and stored.

Further, although the present invention is formed with the uneven grooves 7 of shallow grooves on the surface thereof to prevent slipping when the vehicle is stepped on, the surface shape is not necessarily limited to the longitudinal grooves. In order to prevent slip, a lattice-shaped or projection-shaped projection may be provided on the entire surface. Alternatively, a hard coarse material having an acute angle may be formed on the mat surface.

A band-shaped reflector 5 is buried on the thick side surface in the longitudinal direction of the mat body 1 to add a retroreflective effect of lights temporarily mounted on a road surface at night to draw the driver's attention. . Also, since the reflector 4 with the arrow symbol is formed on the back surface, apart from temporarily installing the mat of the present invention on the road surface, it is also possible to connect the mat as a single plate or a plurality of sheets and lean the back surface toward the traveling vehicle. Thus, an instruction guiding function as a sign board can be obtained regardless of day or night. Further, by coloring the mat in a conspicuous color such as yellow or red, which is different from the pavement color, the driver can be further alerted.

The reflecting body 4 formed on the back surface of the mat body 1 has a flexible mating body adapted to be adapted to the road surface, so that the reflecting body itself is attached with a deformable reflecting sheet. Attention has been paid not to impair the flexibility of the mat body by fixing the adhesive or paint with fine glass beads or the like. If the mat of the present invention is made of, for example, an elastic body having a length of 100 cm, a width of 30 cm, a thickness of 2 cm, and a weight of 5 kg, the mat can be loaded on the trunk of a passenger car, and can be easily loaded and unloaded and temporarily or temporarily removed. Even when stepped on by a car, it is stably held by its own weight and firm locking structure.

[0021]

According to the present invention, since the mat body has a mat form in which the mat body is connected by the concave and convex fitting of the notch portion, the mat body can be mounted on a passenger car, and can be temporarily or easily removed in a short time without tools. You can do it. In addition, the mat is colored in a conspicuous color, the surface has a non-slip structure, and the reflector is buried on the thick surface, so high visibility can be obtained regardless of day and night, and for several hours regulation It can also give a vibrating car to call attention. Further, since characters and symbols are formed on the back surface of the mat by a reflector, the sign function is added by leaning the mat to enhance the regulation ability.
