Description
GROUND COVER MATS WITH CROSS BEAM STRAPS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to improved ground cover mats.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the oil and gas industry, it is sometimes necessary to provide ground cover mats with sufficient strength to support heavy equipment and transport trucks over wet or disturbed ground.
Several prior art ground cover mats exist; however, they sometimes lack sufficient reinforcement to withstand the pressure of heavy equipment and transport trucks, and are expensive to produce.
What is needed is an improved ground cover mat which is simple and relatively inexpensive and has sufficient strength and durability to support heavy equipment.
Further, ground cover mats tend to be extremely heavy and lengthy, making the mats difficult to =
store, lift, transport, assemble or disassemble. Since a series of mats are generally required to construct a temporary road, an improved ground cover mat which is easy to handle is desirable.
There have been attempts in the prior art to solve such problems. For example, United States Patent No. 4,462,712 issued July 31, 1984 to Penland, Sr. describes an interlocking mat assembly comprising assemblies of two-ply laminated mats which interlock and are secured together by nailing a top layer of planks over the interlocked mats. However, this mat assembly is particularly labor intensive.
Canadian Patent No. 1,285,166 issued June 25, 1991 to Pouyer describes a temporary road which includes a plurality of sets, each defined by upper and lower matrices with the upper matrices comprising boards and the lower matrices comprising cross-support members for supporting the boards. The road is constructed by interlocking series of sets in a superimposed assembly, necessitating significant redundancy of effort in assembly and disassembly.
United States Patent No. 6,695,527 issued February 24, 2004 to Seaux et al.
describes interlocking mats constructed of two mirror half pieces which are joined together to form a complete single mat containing an internal cellular structure. Traction promoting elements in the form of raised strips extending outward from the planar surfaces of the mats and aligned with the internal cell forming walls are provided to improve traction and to absorb heavy loading from vehicles and equipment. However, Seaux et al. indicates that when a large number of the raised strips are not specifically positioned in such a manner, the relatively thin outer skin defining the roughly planar surfaces of the mats can become easily deformed by such direct loading.
United States Patent Nos. 4,600,336 and 5,087,149 issued July 15, 1986 and February 11, 1992 respectively, to Waller describe mat systems having individual mats with alternating offset extensions and recesses along the edges. These systems are disadvantageous in that the offset extensions are comprised of individual planks which may be subject to warping or splintering when exposed to heavy loads. Further, the offset extensions need to be nailed in place to be secured within the recess of an adjacent mat. An extra plank is secured over the exposed nailed joints of adjacent mats to interlock the mat assemblies together as a roadway, which significantly increases material and labor requirements.
Canadian Patent No. 2,348,328 issued October 22, 2002 to Stasiewich et al describes a road mat including, at both of its ends, couplings having retaining lips which engage complimentary retaining lips of adjacent mats to prevent separation when weight applied by a vehicle to one road mat is transferred to an adjacent road mat, Canadian Patent No. 2,364,968 issued June 22, 2004 to Stasiewich et al describes a road mat having end and side interlocks to secure adjacent mats. However, there is no provision in either patent of details regarding attachment of the retaining lips to the mat ends, or the use of any reinforcing structural support.
The present invention addresses the above shortcomings of the prior art, meeting the need for an improved ground cover mat which has sufficient strength to support heavy equipment, provides easy handling, and is simple and relatively inexpensive.

Patent No.
7,934,885, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, where permitted, The quadrilateral frame (12) comprises two substantially parallel opposing end members (18) and two substantially parallel outside longitudinal members (20). Each end member (18) has an inner slot (24) facing the opposing end member (18). Each longitudinal member (20) has a slot (not shown) facing the opposing longitudinal member (20).
The elongate boards (14) are retained within the frame (12). The mat (14) forms two opposing major surfaces (28). The mat boards (14) insert into, and are retained by the inner slots (24) of the end members (18).
In one embodiment, each board (14) has a substantially rectangular cross-section and is disposed such that the vertical dimension of the board (14) is larger than the horizontal dimension, thus increasing the bending strength of the mat (10). The boards may be glued together and staggered to increase the strength of the mat. The boards (14) may be single 2x4 or 2x6 boards or may be constructed using wood layers bonded to composite material layers.
In one embodiment, the board comprises at least one wood layer bonded to at least one composite material layer. As used herein, the term "composite" refers to any engineered material made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties and which remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level within the finished structure. In one embodiment, the composite material layers may comprise fiberglass; however, such other materials as are commonly used in the art may also be employed for the boards (14).
The frame (12) is constructed from any suitable material such as steel. In one embodiment, the frame (12) may comprises a third longitudinal member comprising a mid rail (32) which is connected at each end to the midpoint of each end member (18) in an orientation that is substantially parallel to each longitudinal member (20). In one embodiment, the mid rail (32) is an I-beam, thereby having slots (34) facing the longitudinal members (20). The boards (14) insert into, and are retained by the slots (34) on the mid rail (32).
A plurality of cross beam straps (36) are arranged in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the opposing end members (18). Each cross-beam strap (36) comprises a flat metal bar, and is connected at one end to the mid rail (32) and at the other end to a longitudinal member (20). In the prior art, cross beam straps are used but are butt-welded to the longitudinal members and the mid rail, such that it is disposed on top of the boards (14) and flush with the longitudinal members and mid rail. In the present invention, the applicant has found that by modifying the installation of the cross beam strap, significantly better results may be obtained.
As shown in Figure 2, a transverse groove is cut into the boards (14) having a depth approximately equal to the thickness of the cross beam strap (36). The strap (36) is lengthened slightly such that the ends overlap and slide under the longitudinal member channel on one side, and within the mid rail I-beam channel on the other side. The strap is then lap welded into place, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B. In an embodiment where no mid rail is in place, the cross beam strap will extend across the entire mat and be affixed to both longitudinal members.
Accordingly, the strength of the weld attaching the cross beam strap is much stronger, and even if the weld breaks, the strap is still held in place within the transverse groove, and by the ends which are tucked under the longitudinal members and the mid rail.
The frame (12) is constructed from any suitable material such as steel. In one embodiment, the frame (12) may comprises a third longitudinal member comprising a mid rail (32) which is connected at each end to the midpoint of each end member (18) in an orientation that is substantially parallel to each longitudinal member (20). In one embodiment, the mid rail (32) is an I-beam, thereby having slots (34) facing the longitudinal members (20). The boards (14) insert into, and are retained by the slots (34) on the mid rail (32).
A plurality of cross beam straps (36) are arranged in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the opposing end members (18). Each cross-beam strap (36) comprises a flat metal bar, and is connected at one end to the mid rail (32) and at the other end to a longitudinal member (20). In the prior art, cross beam straps are used but are butt-welded to the longitudinal members and the mid rail, such that it is disposed on top of the boards (14) and flush with the longitudinal members and mid rail. In the present invention, the applicant has found that by modifying the installation of the cross beam strap, significantly better results may be obtained.
As shown in Figure 2, a transverse groove is cut into the boards (14) having a depth approximately equal to the thickness of the cross beam strap (36). The strap (36) is lengthened slightly such that the ends overlap and slide under the longitudinal member channel on one side, and within the mid rail I-beam channel on the other side. The strap is then lap welded into place, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B. In an embodiment where no mid rail is in place, the cross beam strap will extend across the entire mat and be affixed to both longitudinal members.
Accordingly, the strength of the weld attaching the cross beam strap is much stronger, and even if the weld breaks, the strap is still held in place within the transverse groove, and by the ends which are tucked under the longitudinal members and the mid rail.
In one embodiment, cross beam straps (36) are aligned on either side of the mat, and held together by a pin (38) which is welded in place.
The number and spacing of the cross-beam straps may vary according to the size and construction of the mat. As shown in Figure 1, an exemplary mat that is about 40 feet long and which is bisected by a mid rail, has 10 cross beam straps on each side, 20 in total, spaced in an equidistant manner between the two end members (18).
