NON-SLI~ SHEET
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present lnvention relates to a non-slip sheet ~apable
of voltlntarily placing a food vessel between a tr~y or t~le
and the like to b~ put there~n ~nd the food vessel so as not
~o be sl~pped.
~9B~E
A small tr~y used ~o~ ~upportin~ a teaoup ~'c a ca~e
hnd the like place or else ~ bi~ tray ~or ca~ying ~ood
~vessels ~t a restaurant or ~ running tr~ is generally
short in height ~nd varinu~ in sh~pe, ~nd such trays ~re
vQrious in kind~ of ma~e~lals s~l~h ~s a synthetle ~esin made
tr~y nl~de of mel~mine resin as m~ln material, a st~inless ~ -:
steel tray, an al~lmlnum t.ray, ~ woo~ t~y and th~ like.
Ho~ever, their co~lmon polnt is that generally a supporting
surfaoe to be put wit}~ ~he ~od vessel or ~ teacup ~nd the
llke ls ~de of ~lat slippery ~urface. ~ :-
Aa~ordingl~, ln such trays, ln case ~,ihen ~ k is
applied f~or~ exterior during carrylng or being inclined due
to ca~elessness of 8 user, a ç,ase often ~cours t]lat the
te~cup or the vessel. (her~ina~te~ iust c~lled a~ a ~eacup)
~s ea~lly slipped and fallen dowm on bot~om su~f~ce of
the ~ay and sim~ltaneously content is $10wed and the
tray or teacup ls ~meared or they ~re ~ollided eat~.h other
And ~enera~e a n~ise or even they are f~llen out o~ ~he tr~y
and dam~g~d.

And pa~ticul~rly, since ther~ is al~y~ ~ ~ight and le~t
~hakln~ ln a running tr~n or auto~bile, above described
in~tances were very freq~lently o~cur~ed and a ~easure
~g~lnst tllis has been provlded.
Accordingly, a prlor art has bee~ w~l l kno~ whioll
in~lude~ ~ ~on-sllp l~yer on a ~otto~ su~f~o~ ln order
to make l;he t~ao-tp no~ to be slipp~d even i~ the tray ls
lnollned ~or~ than a predctermlhed ~n~le, gor lts instance,
there are a Xore~n Utilit3~ Model ~ppll~atlon publication

prevlously reoelved a re~istr~tion and ~apanese Utillty

Slnce these kno~n prlor inventlon~ were o made that
~ non slip layer ~as lnte~rally provided to the tray, ~n
15 an ef~eot fo~ preventing the teacup belng slipped even l~
the tray ~as slightly~ lnolined ~ould be ctb~a~ned, howeve~
in c~se wl~en ~ater ~s flo~ed ~n the non-slip l~yer and a
water film w~s ~ormed, ~n orl~lnal non-slip ~unc~ion oould
not b~ exeouted, ~nd p~rtioularly ag~inst a t~ay whioh was
20 not p~ovlde~ with a non-slip l~yer, there has been a pro~le~
that a user voluntarily h~s p~id a ~eparate cost and
provlded thls.
And, it ls fu~ther deslr~ble ths~ ~ non-slip me~ns ls
provided to a thi~l pla~e m~terial ~han providln~ a non-sl~p
yer at every traY as this so th~t it ls put on a tray

DISCLP~I~ OF INYENTION
An ob~3ect o~ the present Inventlon 1~ to provld~ a non-
-slip sheet ~r maklng ~ us~r to use by puttin~ Oh ~ ~r~y
or table only in a ne~essary case.
Another obieot o~ the pre~ent inventlon is to prov~de
~ non-slip sheet makin~ the teacup not to ~e æh~ken at ~
restaurant or h~me, snd p~rticularly in ~ ~us or train
during movlng.
These ~bjeçts ~re obtalned by provldinOE a non-slip sllee~
made by a separate ~ le ~rticle so as to ~e able to use
by puttlng on ~ t~y only ln a ne~essary case, wherein t3~1s
non-slip sheet ~s ~ade oP thln plate shape ~nd a plurality
o~ non-sllp protrusions ~or preventing a sl~pplng ar~
~rranged in a p~edetermined order respe¢tively to ~op and

in whioh the non-slip sheet i8 not sh~ken on the ~y
or t~ie and sirqultanenusly a vessel or teacup to be put
on thls non-slip sheet ls not ~lippe~.

reference numeral sy~boI 10 is a non-slip sheet of tlle
p~esent ln~ent~on~
The non-slip sheet 10 is ~ade of a thln plate shape
2nd includes a uttin~-vn plate 11 having a predetermined
m~nl~.ude an~ for~, and a plur~lltY of protrusions 1~ m~king

or ta~le ~r~ arran~ed with ~ predete~mined o~de~ on botto~
surf~e o~ the p~ttin~-on plate 11.
~0 And, ~ plu~ality of non-slip prot~usion~ 13 ma~in a food
vess~l or cup not to be slipp~d in c~se when i~ i~ p~t

a~e one o oo~ponents m~kln~ the non-slip sheet lOI whloh
S becomes to give varlations to ~ pat~ern of the non-sllp
she~t 10.
The non-slip pr~truslon~ lZ,1~ of the non-slip sheet lb
~onstru~ted ~s this may ~lso be ~dhered t~ ~he top ~nd
bottom surfaces o~ the pu~ting~on pla~e 11 by a screen
10 prlnting method.
And, this non-slip prot~usions 12,13 becomes to use a
re~ln material of soft charaoter~s~ic ~ad~ o~ s~nthetic
slll~one being excellen~ in adhesive de~ree.
Oper~tlon and e~ect o~ the present lnv~ntion will be
described in more detail wlth ~eference to FIG.~, an~ FI~.3~
Na~ely, ~hen the non-slip fiheet ~0 of th~ present
în~ention is put on a top surfa~ o~ a tray o~ a table3
~he non-slip sheet 10 ;s adhe~e~ and fixed ~o the tray 20
by the non-slip protrusions 12 p~oYlded t~ the bottom
sur~ce o~ the non-slip sheet 10.
In thls s~at~, when a vessel or teaoup 40 desired to
be p~t on the tray ~0 i5 pu,t on ~he ~op su~faoe of the
non~sllp sheet 10, the bottom s~r~are of the te~Gup ~0 is
oontacted to ~he non-sllp protrusions 13 provided to the
top surfa~e o~ the non-slip shee~ 10 and thereby lt beoomes
not to be ~llpped.
Explanln~ ln .more ~onorqkely, s~nce the non - s]ip
protrusions 13 is A ~orm p~otruded from ~he top sur~a~ of

the pu~ln~-on plate 11, the bottom sut~ e o~ the teaou~ 40
ls suppor~ed part~al Iy by the non-sl ip pro~usion~ 13
whereby lt ~ecom~s to a state belng not c~nt~cted to the
sur~ace of tl~e pu~tin~-on plate 11.
S Th~t ls, when a ~eacup 40 is put on a tr~y 20 which is
put on w~tl~ the non~slip shee~ 1~, the teaoup 40 becomes
8 sta~ belng put on apex of fl pa~ ollo sur~aoe m~de on a
top surfaoe o~ the non-sllp protruslon 13 in a point
oontActing ~anner, so that the ~eaoup 40 is not sllpped,
even i~ th~ tray ~0 ls in~l~ne~ at ~ predetermined Rngle
o~ ~ water film l~ye~ ls ~ormed on ~ su~face of the non-
sl~p sheet 10,
Thus, the reason why ~he teacup 40 is not lipped even
lf ths tray 20 ~eln~ inollned is ~e~a~se the non-sllp
protru~ion 13 itsel~ a~hered ~ the non-sl~p sheet 10 has an
adhe~lve ch~ac~eristi~s~ and sinoe the su~f~oe of this
non-slip protrus;ons 13 ls m~de t~ ~ para~ol~c surf~oe, ln
oase ~hen ~ content contained wl~hin the te~oup 40 i~
spllled due to c2~1essne s op a usery it flow~ down
natu~allY alc)ng the parabolio sur~ace ~nd stagnated on the
sur~ace o~ the puttln~~on plate 11 provlded ~ong the non-
sllp p~otruslons.
Aooordingly, ~ln~e the teaoup 40 los~te~ on apices o~ the
non sllp prot~uslons 13 ls a state whlch ls positioned
~5 at upp~ posltlon ~han wa~r fiI~ layer formed by the
flo~ed down w~ter, ~he water ~llm l~yer ls not ln~luen~ed
the~e~ where~y lt, ~e~owes not to b~ ~I;pped.
And, ln ac~ord~nce ~lth the p~esent lnventlon. tllq non-

~lip protru~lons ~ormed to ~he non~slip sheet can be ~ade
ln har~on~zatlon o~ colors of tr~nsparentl seml~transparent,
colo~ or non-~olor and ;t~ shap~ can be varled. and since
lt ls ~ade to a pl~te materi~l type, a cutk1n~ is e~sy
whereby varLou3 pa~tern ~an be ~de.
For lnstanoe, as shoh~ ln FIG,5, not only ~he product
oan be ~aried by ~akin~ the pa~tern ~f the protrusion to
be a ~lowe~ sh~p~, leaf sh~pe, ~l~o~l~r hape, oval shape,
~eotangul~r shape, trlangular shape, or the like, but also
10 the shspe and p~tter~ of the non-slip sheet ltself c~n be
~u~ v~rlously as a~ove.
As described above~ sinoe the pr~sent ln~ention c~n b~
used by putting on a t~aY only in case ~hen 1~ is necessary
dlffer~nt f~om the non-slip l~ye~ lnteg~aily ~lxed to
lS a t~ay or a tablç and the like as ~efore, lt can ~e
alternatel~ used fo~ a ~ultlple nu~be~ of trays, tllerefore
~1t h~s an e~fect cap~hl~ o~ savlng th~ ma~e~lals.
: ^And, slnce the top and ~ot~m su~aces o~ thls non-slip
~:~sheet are sa~e~ not only the ame ~unotion can be execu~ed
even 1~ a u~er ~ses by voIun~a~lly tu~nln~ over fro~ tlme to

that o~ the non-ælip laye~ bein~ inte~rally ~anu~etured t~
