DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In the following description, all concepts related to directionality or orientation, such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, are based on a positional state shown in FIG. 1, except for FIG. 4, and therefore should not be understood as specific limitations on the technical solution provided by the present utility model.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a floor mat unit accommodating mechanism 1 is illustrated. The floor mat unit accommodating mechanism 1 includes a left sleeve 11, a right sleeve 12, and a sleeve cavity opening-closing mechanism 13. In a use state, one side of the left sleeve 11 facing away from a floor, namely an upward side in the use state, forms a left sleeve outer surface layer 111, and one side facing towards the floor forms a left sleeve inner surface layer 112. A space between the left sleeve outer surface layer 111 and the left sleeve inner surface layer 112 forms a left sleeve cavity 113, and a cavity orifice of the left sleeve cavity 113 is in a shape of .sub.. In the use state, one side of the right sleeve 12 facing away from the floor, namely an upward side in the use state, forms a right sleeve outer surface layer 121, and one side facing towards the floor forms a right sleeve inner surface layer 122. A space between the right sleeve outer surface layer 121 and the right sleeve inner surface layer 122 forms a right sleeve cavity 123, and a cavity orifice of the right sleeve cavity 123 is in a shape of .sub.. The left sleeve outer surface layer 111 and the right sleeve outer surface layer 121 form an integrated structure, and the left sleeve inner surface layer 112 and the right sleeve inner surface layer 122 form a split structure. The sleeve cavity opening-closing mechanism 13 includes a left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 and a right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132. A position of the left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 corresponding to the cavity orifice of the left sleeve cavity 113 is arranged on the left sleeve 11, and a position of the right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132 corresponding to the cavity orifice of the right sleeve cavity 123 is arranged on the right sleeve 12. A left floor mat unit 2 and a right floor mat unit 3 are illustrated. The left floor mat unit 2 includes a left floor mat unit first module 21 and a left floor mat unit second module 22. Opposite ends of the left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22 are interlocked in a tenon-and-mortise manner and housed in the left sleeve cavity 113. The right floor mat unit 3 includes a right floor mat unit first module 31 and a right floor mat unit second module 32. Opposite ends of the right floor mat unit first module 31 and the right floor mat unit second module 32 are interlocked in a tenon-and-mortise manner and housed in the right sleeve cavity 123.

[0024] In the present embodiment, although the illustrated foldable and stackable-packaged interlocking floor mat is in a two opening-closing (also referred to as dual opening-closing) structural form, the two opening-closing structural form refers to having only one left floor mat unit 2 and one right floor mat unit 3, it is obvious that this is not restrictive. For example, additional floor mat units may be added as needed to satisfy requirements for three-fold or four-fold designs. Therefore, what is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is merely a specific implementation.

[0025] Continue to refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a left sleeve cavity orifice transverse left-end closure area 1131 is formed at a transverse left end of the cavity orifice of the aforementioned left sleeve cavity 113, and a left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132 is formed at a longitudinal lower end of the cavity orifice of the aforementioned left sleeve cavity 113. It can be seen that a transverse upper left end and a longitudinal lower end of the .sub.-shaped cavity orifice retain an area for the left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131, thereby covering two end portions of the left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 in the use state. A right sleeve cavity orifice transverse right-end closure area 1231 is formed at a transverse right end of the cavity orifice of the aforementioned right sleeve cavity 123, and a right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232 is formed at a longitudinal lower end of the cavity orifice of the aforementioned right sleeve cavity 123. Since functions of the right sleeve cavity orifice transverse right-end closure area 1231 and the right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232 are similar to those of the aforementioned left sleeve cavity orifice transverse left-end closure area 1131 and left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132 respectively, further description is omitted.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 3, in the use state, when both the left sleeve inner surface layer 112 of the aforementioned left sleeve 11 and the right sleeve inner surface layer 122 of the aforementioned right sleeve 12 are in a state of full contact with the floor, the aforementioned left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132 and right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232 are attached to each other in a coinciding state.

[0027] In the present embodiment, an opening-closing stroke (i.e., an opening-closing area) of the aforementioned left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 starts from a position above the left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132 and ends at a right side of the left sleeve cavity orifice transverse left-end closure area 1131, but may also start from the right side of the left sleeve cavity orifice transverse left-end closure area 1131 and end at the position above the left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132. In the present embodiment, an opening-closing stroke (i.e., an opening-closing area) of the aforementioned right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132 starts from a position above the right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232 and ends at a left side of the right sleeve cavity orifice transverse right-end closure area 1231, but may also start from the left side of the right sleeve cavity orifice transverse right-end closure area 1231 and end at the position above the right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the aforementioned left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 and the right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132 are zippers, which are nylon zippers. However, when metal zippers are used for replacing the nylon zippers, it should be considered as equivalent technical means and still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present utility model.

[0029] In the present embodiment, the aforementioned left sleeve 11 and right sleeve 12 are made of PU.

[0030] Continue to refer to FIG. 1, since structures of the aforementioned right floor mat unit first module 31 and right floor mat unit second module 32 are the same as those of the aforementioned left floor mat unit first module 21 and left floor mat unit second module 22, therefore only the left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22 are described in detail below. Left floor mat unit first module tenons 211 and left floor mat unit first module mortises 212 are formed at one end of the left floor mat unit first module 21 facing towards the left floor mat unit second module 22, and the left floor mat unit first module tenons 211 and the left floor mat unit first module mortises 212 are arranged in an alternating positional relationship. Left floor mat unit second module tenons 221 and left floor mat unit second module mortises 222 are formed at one end of the left floor mat unit second module 22 facing towards the left floor mat unit first module 21, and the left floor mat unit second module tenons 221 and the left floor mat unit second module mortises 222 are arranged in an alternating positional relationship. The left floor mat unit first module tenons 211 and the left floor mat unit second module mortises 222 are in correspondence and are interlocked in a tenon-and-mortise manner, and the left floor mat unit second module tenons 221 and the left floor mat unit first module mortises 212 are in correspondence and are interlocked in a tenon-and-mortise manner.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the aforementioned left floor mat unit first module tenons 211 and left floor mat unit first module mortises 212 are in a dovetail shape.

[0032] The left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22, as well as the right floor mat unit first module 31 and the right floor mat unit second module 32, are of the same shape and size, and are all in a rectangular shape, more precisely, in a cuboidal shape.

[0033] In the present embodiment, materials of the left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22, as well as the right floor mat unit first module 31 and the right floor mat unit second module 32 are EPE, namely EPE foam cotton, or more specifically, polyethylene foam cotton. The selected EPE foam cotton has excellent environmental friendliness. Certainly, when other materials such as PUR, EVA, XPE, or EPDM are used for replacing EPE for the purpose of circumventing the present utility model, it should be regarded as changes in form rather than substance.

[0034] Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. Regarding to FIG. 3, as mentioned earlier, it reveals that the present utility model is placed, namely laid on the floor, such as the hallway or other corresponding areas. Additionally, based on the descriptions of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 above and as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, lower portions of the entire left sleeve cavity 113 and the right sleeve cavity 123 in a width direction do not communicate with the outside, respectively maintaining areas in a shape of an inverted n at a height level of the aforementioned left sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1132 and the right sleeve cavity orifice longitudinal lower-end closure area 1232. Therefore, when viewed from FIG. 3, end faces of the left floor mat unit 2 and the right floor mat unit 3 respectively housed inside the left sleeve cavity 113 and the right sleeve cavity 123 are not visible, achieving an exquisite viewing effect.

[0035] FIG. 4 illustrates a storage bag 4 with a storage bag cavity 41, as previously mentioned. An opening portion of the storage bag 4, namely an orifice portion of the storage bag 4, is provided with a bag flap 42. The bag flap 42 is formed through cooperation of a bag flap zipper 421 and a bag opening of the storage bag 4. The cooperation mentioned herein refers to opening or closing the bag opening through the bag flap zipper 421.

[0036] Continue to refer to FIG. 4, the left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 and the right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132 are first opened. In other words, the zippers serving as the left sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 131 and the right sleeve cavity orifice opening-closing member 132 are opened to take out the left floor mat unit 2 and the right floor mat unit 3, and then, the left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22 forming the left floor mat unit 2 are separated, namely, the interlocked joint between them is removed. Similarly, the right floor mat unit first module 31 and the right floor mat unit second module 32 forming the right floor mat unit 3 are separated, and then, the floor mat accommodating mechanism 1 is longitudinally folded and then is transversely folded. Then, the left floor mat unit first module 21 and the left floor mat unit second module 22 in a structural system of the left floor mat unit 2, the floor mat accommodating mechanism 1 in a folded state, and the right floor mat unit first module 31 and the right floor mat unit second module 32 in a structural system of the right floor mat unit 3 are arranged in a stacking sequence from top to bottom shown in FIG. 4, namely, the left floor mat unit first module 21, the right floor mat unit first module 31, the aforementioned folded floor mat accommodating mechanism 1, the left floor mat unit second module 22, and the right floor mat unit second module 32 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom and then are packaged in the storage bag 4, and the bag flap zipper 421 is zipped up, thereby changing the use state into a collection state.
