CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0146554, filed on Nov. 23, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Field of the Disclosure

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle carpet and mat fixing device and a method of mounting the same; and, particularly, to a vehicle carpet and mat fixing device having a structure that can improve coupling force and assembly between a carpet and a mat, and a method of mounting the same.

Description of Related Art

In general, a floor carpet is provided on the interior floor of a vehicle, i.e., on a floor to beautify an indoor environment and perform a function such as sound absorption.

In addition, a vehicle mat is additionally installed on the upper surface the floor carpet to prevent contamination of the floor carpet.

Meanwhile, the vehicle mat may be easily moved without being kept in position since it is composed of a large number of pieces, with the consequence that it difficult to perform a function of preventing the contamination of the floor carpet during movement. In particular, the vehicle mat provided at a driver's seat hinders the operation of a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal during movement, which leads to a difficulty of desired acceleration as well as a worry about accidents.

The disclosure of this section is to provide background information relating to the invention. Applicant does not admit that any information contained in this section constitutes prior art.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a vehicle carpet and mat fixing device capable of solving a weakening of coupling force between a carpet and a mat and an occurrence of scrap when they are reassembled after assembly, thereby reassembling them and improving assembly process capability, and a method of mounting the same.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a vehicle carpet and mat fixing device includes a upper mat fastener part, a lower mat fastener part coupled to the upper mat fastener part, a upper carpet fastener part coupled to the lower mat fastener part by a upper carpet fastener protrusion protruding toward the lower mat fastener part, and a lower carpet fastener part coupled to the upper carpet fastener part, wherein the upper mat fastener part is hooked to the lower mat fastener part by a upper mat fastener hook circumferentially formed in the upper mat fastener part to fix a mat, and the lower carpet fastener part is coupled to the upper carpet fastener part by a female hook of the lower carpet fastener part to fix a carpet.

The upper mat fastener part may include an upper mat fastener body and an upper mat fastener extension extending downward from the center of the upper mat fastener body.

The upper mat fastener extension may have an upper mat fastener hook formed circumferentially outward at its end.

The lower mat fastener part may include a lower mat fastener body and a lower mat fastener extension extending upward from the center of the lower mat fastener body.

The lower mat fastener extension may have a lower mat fastener latch formed circumferentially inward at its end, the lower mat fastener latch being coupled to an upper mat fastener hook of an upper mat fastener extension.

The lower mat fastener body may have a coupling hole drilled therein for coupling with the upper carpet fastener part.

The lower mat fastener body has a lip formed therein for coupling with the upper carpet fastener protrusion.

The lower mat fastener body may have mat fixing protrusions formed on one surface thereof.

The mat fixing protrusions may be spaced circumferentially from each other.

The upper carpet fastener part may include an upper carpet fastener body and an upper carpet fastener protrusion protruding upward from the upper carpet fastener body.

The upper carpet fastener body may have a male hook formed on its outer surface.

The upper carpet fastener protrusion may be coupled to the lower mat fastener part.

The lower carpet fastener part may have a female hook formed at its inner end.

The female hook may have a detachable structure.

The lower carpet fastener part may have carpet fixing protrusions formed on its inner diameter.

The carpet fixing protrusions may be spaced circumferentially from each other.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of mounting a vehicle carpet and mat fixing device includes fixing a mat between an upper mat fastener part and a lower mat fastener part, coupling an upper carpet fastener part to the lower mat fastener part, and fixing a carpet between the upper carpet fastener part and a lower carpet fastener part.

The fixing a mat may include inverting the upper mat fastener part to place it on the ground, fixing the mat to the upper mat fastener part, and coupling the upper mat fastener part to the lower mat fastener part.

The fixing a carpet may include inverting the upper carpet fastener part to place it on the ground, fixing the carpet to the upper carpet fastener part, and coupling the upper carpet fastener part to the lower carpet fastener part.
