Abstract
Provided is a water absorbent sheet retaining mat which can retain a water absorbent sheet easily and surely. A water absorbent sheet retaining mat for retaining a water absorbent sheet having a first polygonal contour, includes: a mat member having a second polygonal contour defined by mutually opposing a first main plane and a second main plane; and at least one retaining member having a slit member including at least one slit formed in a top surface at a predetermined height from the first main plane for accepting a part of perimeter of the water absorbent sheet being inserted therein, wherein the water absorbent sheet is laid on the first main plane, and then the above purpose is accomplished.
Claims11
A water absorbent sheet retaining mat for retaining a water absorbent sheet having a first polygonal contour, comprising:
- a mat member having a second polygonal contour defined by mutually opposing a first main plane and a second main plane, the mat member being of silicon rubber and having a solid planar shape;
- at least one retaining member having a slit member comprised of at least one slit formed in a top surface at a first predetermined height from the first main plane for accepting a part of perimeter of the water absorbent sheet being inserted therein, and
- a mat frame member provided around the mat member and vertically extending from an edge of the first main plane to a predetermined mat frame member height,
- wherein the water absorbent sheet is laid on the first main plane,
- wherein at least two slit members are located adjacent to each other on the diagonal line of the second polygonal contour in the top surface, and
- wherein a path communicating the adjacent slit members is formed in the second main plane.

- a water absorption member having a third polygonal contour smaller than the first polygonal contour;
- and
- a sheet brim member having the first polygonal contour and surrounding the water absorption member,
- wherein a distance between the centers of the adjacent slit members is smaller than a distance between the third polygonal contour and the first polygonal contour.
