Floor Mat Construction

US Patent:
4478901, Oct 23, 1984
Filed:
Nov 29, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/445544
Inventors:
David R. Dickens - Lincoln RI
Waldo Smith - Warwick RI
Herbert Malin - Barrington RI
Assignee:
Teknor Apex Company - Pawtucket RI
International Classification:
E01C 518, B32B 324
US Classification:
428120
Abstract:
A floor mat construction of rubberized material including a base and feet of barbell-like configuration which extend integrally downwardly from the underside of the base for the support thereof in upwardly spaced relation on a supporting surface. A plurality of apertures the upper ends of which are of substantially hexagonal configuration, extend through the base to define a hexagonal honeycomb-like configuration in the upper portion thereof. The mat is lightweight but structurally efficient, the upper surfaces of the common walls between the hexagonal upper ends of the apertures providing durable scraping surfaces for a nonskid effect, and the feet firmly gripping the supporting surface therebeneath to resist creeping of the mat.
