Description

Als Bodenbeläge werden, je nach Einsatzgebiet, unterschiedliche Materialien, Farbgebungen und Strukturierungen eingesetzt. Für besonders strapazierte Bodenbeläge, beispielsweise in öffentlichen Gebäuden, werden Bodenbeläge aus einem elastomeren Material verwendet, welches eine hohe Abriebfestigkeit hat und sein ansprechendes Aussehen über längere Zeit beibehält. Die Erfindung befasst sich mit dieser Art von Bodenbelägen.Depending on the area of application, different materials, Coloring and structuring used. For particularly stressed Floor coverings, for example in public buildings, become floor coverings Made of an elastomeric material, which has a high abrasion resistance and maintains its attractive appearance over a long period of time. The Invention is concerned with this type of flooring.

Durch die europäische Patentanmeldung EP 0 399 959 A1 ist ein Bodenbelag aus elastomerem Material bekannt geworden, der mit ausgewölbten Reliefs versehen ist. Die Höhe der Reliefs beträgt zwischen 0,2 mm und 1,0 mm. Sie sind in Gruppen angeordnet und mit spiegelnden Flächen versehen, so dass, je nach Blickwinkel auf den Boden, der Boden ein unterschiedliches Aussehen erhält. Obwohl der Bodenbelag selbst einfarbig ist, erhält er durch die Spiegelflächen den gewünschten Effekt einer unterschiedlichen Farbgestaltung. Von Nachteil bei dieser Art von Bodenbelägen ist, dass sie schwer zu reinigen sind und auch einen erheblichen Rollwiderstand haben. Letzteres wirkt sich nachteilig insbesondere auf Flughäfen, Bahnhöfen und dergleichen aus, wenn die Passagiere Rollkoffer beziehungsweise Rolltaschen über den Bodenbelag ziehen. The European patent application EP 0 399 959 A1 is a floor covering made of elastomeric material known with the arched reliefs is provided. The height of the reliefs is between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm. she are arranged in groups and provided with reflective surfaces, so that, depending from the perspective of the floor, the floor has a different appearance receives. Although the flooring itself is one color, it is given by the Mirror surfaces the desired effect of a different color design. The disadvantage of this type of flooring is that it is difficult to clean are and also have considerable rolling resistance. The latter affects disadvantageous especially at airports, train stations and the like if the passengers carry trolleys or trolley bags over the floor covering pull.

Das Dokument DE 100 39 118 A1 beschreibt einen Bodenbelag aus einem elastomeren Material mit einer strukturierten Oberfläche, dessen Oberfläche mit unregelmäßig verteilten Eintiefungen versehen ist, die langgestreckter Gestalt sind und die sich teilweise berühren und / oder durchschneiden und eine Tiefe von 0,02 mm bis 0,2 mm bei einer Breite von 0,2 mm bis 2,5 mm und einer Länge von 5 mm bis 50 mm aufweisen. Entsprechende Bodenbeläge sollen eine hohe Haltbarkeit aufweisen, gut zu reinigen sein, einen möglichst geringen Rollwiderstand haben und eine geringe Abnutzung aufweisen.The document DE 100 39 118 A1 describes a floor covering made of a elastomeric material with a textured surface, the surface of which is provided with irregularly distributed recesses, the elongated Are in shape and which partially touch and / or cut through and a depth of 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm with a width of 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm and have a length of 5 mm to 50 mm. Corresponding floor coverings should have a long shelf life, be easy to clean, if possible have low rolling resistance and wear.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bodenbelag zu schaffen, der die Gehsicherheit durch die Vermeidung von Reflexionen erhöht und das Sichtbar werden von Abnutzungen oder Untergrund-Unebenheiten auf der Oberfläche des Belages unterdrückt.The invention has for its object to provide a floor covering increases walking safety by avoiding reflections and that Wear and bumps on the surface become visible Surface of the surface suppressed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch einem Bodenbelag aus einem elastomeren Material mit einer strukturierten Oberfläche gelöst, der auf seiner Oberfläche flache, ineinander geschachtelte und in sich überlappende Erhebungen rechteckiger oder quadratischer Gestalt mit abgerundeten Ecken und Erstreckungen (Kantenlängen) zwischen 1,2 und 6 mm aufweist, wobei die Höhe der Erhebungen (H) zwischen 0,01 mm und 0,1 mm beträgt. Die Oberflächenstruktur des Belages ist total ungerichtet und von reflexbrechender Natur.
Ein solcher Bodenbelag behält nahezu die guten Eigenschaften eines ebenen Bodenbelags bei, die beispielsweise in einem sehr geringen Rollwiderstand und guter Reinigungsfähigkeit bestehen und hat gleichzeitig ein verbessertes Aussehen, indem er an sich optisch gefällig wirkt und auch unerwünschte, geringfügige Abnutzungen nicht augenfällig werden. Die Höhe der Erhebungen ist so gering, dass sichtbare Schmutzablagerungen vermindert werden. Durch die gewählte Form der Erhebungen und ihrer Anordnung auf der Oberfläche entsteht ein Erscheinungsbild, welches auch optisch sehr ansprechend ist. According to the invention, the object is achieved by a floor covering made of an elastomeric material with a structured surface, which on its surface has flat, nested and overlapping elevations of rectangular or square shape with rounded corners and extensions (edge lengths) between 1.2 and 6 mm , the height of the elevations (H) being between 0.01 mm and 0.1 mm. The surface structure of the covering is totally non-directional and of a reflexive nature.
Such a floor covering almost retains the good properties of a flat floor covering, which, for example, consist of very low rolling resistance and good cleanability, and at the same time has an improved appearance in that it appears visually pleasing and even undesirable, minor wear and tear is not apparent. The height of the elevations is so small that visible dirt deposits are reduced. The selected shape of the elevations and their arrangement on the surface creates an appearance that is also very visually appealing.

In ihrer bevorzugten Ausformung haben die Erhebungen Kantenlängen zwischen 1,3 bis 3,6 mm bei einer Höhe H zwischen 0,02 und 0,05 mm.In their preferred form, the elevations have edge lengths between 1.3 to 3.6 mm with a height H between 0.02 and 0.05 mm.

Bevorzugt werden die Erhebungen im Bodenbelag so angebracht, dass der Bodenbelag sich aus einzelnen, wiederholenden Flächeneinheiten zusammensetzt.Preferably, the elevations in the floor covering are attached so that the Floor covering made up of individual, repeating surface units composed.

Aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen ist es günstig, wenn der Bodenbelag aus einem einschichtigen Material besteht. Seine Stärke wird von 2 mm bis 5 mm, vorzugsweise von 2,5 mm bis 4 mm, gewählt.For technical reasons, it is favorable if the flooring is off consists of a single layer material. Its thickness is from 2 mm to 5 mm, preferably from 2.5 mm to 4 mm.

Der Vorteil eines solchen Bodenbelags gegenüber bekannten Bodenbelägen ist eine Verminderung des Glanzgrades, gemessen nach DIN 5036. Bei der Messung unter einem Einfallswinkel von 85° hat ein Bodenbelag mit glatter Oberfläche einen Reflektionsgrad von ca. 96 %, wohingegen der erfindungsgemäße Bodenbelag nur einen Reflektionsgrad von ca. 48 % aufweist. Dadurch wird aufgrund der psychologischen Wirkung eine höhere Gehsicherheit auf nicht-glänzenden Oberflächen erzielt. Dies ist von Vorteil in Anwendungen, bei denen aufgrund eines Streiflichteinfalles durch die Fensteranordnung ein hoher Glanz zu Unsicherheit beim Begehen führen kann. Gleichzeitig werden durch die mattglänzende Oberfläche Unebenheiten des Untergrundes besser kaschiert als bei hochglänzenden Oberflächen. Gegenüber einem Bodenbelag mit Vertiefungen bietet die genannte Ausführung den Vorteil, dass Schmutzwasser besser entfernbar ist als in Vertiefungen.The advantage of such a floor covering over known floor coverings is a reduction in the degree of gloss, measured according to DIN 5036 Measurement at an angle of incidence of 85 ° has a floor covering with a smoother surface Surface has a degree of reflection of approx. 96%, whereas the Floor covering according to the invention only has a degree of reflection of approx. 48% having. This will make a higher one due to the psychological effect Walking safety achieved on non-shiny surfaces. This is beneficial in Applications where due to the incidence of light from the Window arrangement a high gloss can lead to uncertainty when walking. At the same time, the matt gloss surface eliminates unevenness of the Better laminated surface than with high-gloss surfaces. Compared to a floor covering with recesses, the above offers Design has the advantage that dirty water can be removed more easily than in Wells.
