STRIP FOAM FLOOR MAT
A strip foam floor mat includes a rectangular main body with two long sides and two short sides, and each side has plural complementarily shaped first convex teeth and first notches disposed apart from one another, a pair of complementarily shaped second convex tooth and second notch disposed at each corner at both ends of each side, and a pair of complementarily shaped third convex tooth and third notch disposed adjacent to each other and at positions of the multiple length of the short side along each long side, and the third convex tooth is in the same protruding shape of the second convex tooth when the two main bodies are spliced, and the third notch is the same concave shape of the adjacent second notch when the two main bodies are spliced.
The present invention relates to a foam floor mat, in particular to the strip foam floor mat that can be spliced in different patterns.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONWith reference to
When the aforementioned main bodies 9 are spliced, the first tooth 92 and the first notch 93 of the two main bodies 9 must be aligned precisely with each other and the second tooth 94 must be aligned precisely with the second notch 95 before the side 91 of one of the main bodies 9 can be combined with the side 91 of the other main body by the precise-alignment splicing method. Obviously, the conventional structure of the main bodies 9 just provides a splicing method for one pattern only and fails to provide a change of patterns through the splicing method. Besides the limited splicing patterns, the appearance of the conventional foam floor mat shows different decorative effects by means of lines and colors on the surfaces of the main bodies 9 only. Obviously, the conventional foam floor mat requires improvements, and it is a main subject of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the conventional foam floor mat.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONTherefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art by providing a strip foam floor mat, wherein the structure of a main body having first convex teeth and first notches, second convex teeth and second notches, and third convex teeth and third notches can splice main bodies into different patterns, so that the spliced floor mat can have different patterns.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides a strip foam floor mat comprising a rectangular main body, and the main body includes two long sides and two short sides, wherein the long side has a length which is equal to a multiple of the length of the short side, and the multiple is at least three; each of the long sides and short sides has a plurality of first convex teeth and first notches, each disposed with an interval apart from each other and their concave and convex shapes are complementary to each other; a second convex tooth and a second notch are disposed at positions of four corners at each of both ends of each long side and each short side of the main body, and the second convex tooth of each long side is disposed at a position immediately next to the second notch of the adjacent short side, and the second convex tooth of each long side is disposed at a position away from the second convex tooth of the adjacent short side, and the concave and convex shapes of each second convex tooth and each second notch are complementary to each other, and each long side has a third convex tooth and a third notch disposed immediately next to each other and at positions along the section of the multiple length of the short side, and the concave and convex shapes of each third convex tooth and each third notch are complementary to each other, and the third convex tooth is in the same shape as that of the protruding second convex tooth when the two main bodies are spliced, and the third notch is in the same shape as that of the recessed adjacent second notch when the second convex teeth of the two main bodies are spliced.
The aforementioned and other objectives and advantages of the present invention will become clearer in light of the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of this invention described in connection with the drawings. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

Therefore, the long side 11 and the long side 11 of the main bodies 1 can be cut and aligned precisely with each other, and the short side 12 and the short side 12 can be spliced by the precise-alignment method. Alternatively, the main bodies 1 can be spliced to produce a floor mat by arranging the long side 11 and the long side 11 transversally and alternately as shown in

In view of the description above, the present invention has the following advantages. A third convex tooth 6 and a third notch 7 are disposed at positions of the multiple length of the short side 11 along the long side 11 and capable of forming a protruding shape (which is the shape of the convex tooth 6A) after the second convex teeth 4 of the two main bodies 1 are spliced, and the concave shape (which is the shape of the notch 7A) of the adjacent second notch 5, and the concave and convex shapes are matched with each other, so that the invention can provides various combinations of the main bodies 1 by an alternate splicing method. Compared with the main bodies of the conventional floor mat, the invention offers a change of different patterns. Even if the side-by-side alignment method is adopted for splicing the main bodies, the change of lines and patterns on the surfaces of the main bodies also provides a diversified decorative effect.
Of course, the present invention still has many embodiments with major modifications or changes. With reference to
