MAT.
Application filed January 22, 1923. Serial No. 614,126.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatI, PETER J. SWANSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, county of King, and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Mat; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact specifica tion, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention is a mat simllar to a door mat orthe like. which is made of staggered sectious'of used motor vehicle tires.
The object of the invention is to provide a mat similar to a door mat that may be constructed of waste material or used. mo-
tor vehicle tires.
' ings, wherein5 Another object of the invention is to'provide a means for holding sections of used motor vehicle tires together in such a shape that they may be used for a mat. W'iththese ends in View the invention embodies the assembling of-sections of used motor vehicletires in such a position that they-may be used as a mat. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the followin description taken in connection with the raw- Figure 1 is a plan View.
Figure 2 is a detail showing one of the U shaped bars 3. The sections 1 may be' placed on the frame individually or may be placed in pairs with the thick end of one section opposite the thin end of'th'e other as shown. in Figure 1, as these sections are taken from the side of a tire one end will be thicker than the other. At the ends of the mat washers or rings 5 may be inserted between the sections in orderto close I the ends.
The side plates 2 may be constructed as shown of a thin metal 'andthey may be a little smaller than the sections -1 so that their edges will not scrape the floor or surface upon which the mat is placed. These plates have holes 6 in them which may be placed over the ends of the U shapedbars.
3. It will also be seen that these plates Willtie the edges of the mat together and kee it in shape.
The U shaped bars 3 may be constructed as shown and may have the plates 2 that form one side of the mat placed on them and then the sections 1- may be placed on.
them inany desired manner to form'a mat similar to that shown in Figure 1 or of any other desired design. After enough sections-have been placed on the bars another set ofthe side plates 2 may be placed on the side of the mat and the ends of the Wires bent over as shown in Figure 4. It is understood that these wires may be riveted, welded, threaded for nuts, or clamped in any desired manner, or the two ends may be connected together in any desired manner;
It is understood that changes may be made'in the construction without departingv from the spirit of theinvention. One of which-changes may be in the making of the sections 1 in any desired shape orin the assembling of them to form a mat of any desired shape or design. Another change, may be in the shape and design of the plates 2, or in the use of one of these plates on every other bar, or in the use of the plates on one side only, or in the omission of the plates altogether. And still another change may be in the shape or design ofthe U shaped bars, or in the means for connecting them at the ends or in the connecting of them together. It is therefore understood thatthe size or shapeof the mat or themanner of making it is immaterial as the object of this invention is to utilize used motor Vehicle tires and assemble pieces out from them in such a manner that they may be used as a mat. I
The construction will readily be understood from the foregoing descri tion. To use the device-it may be assemble as shown or in any desired manner and it will be seen that the edgesof the rubber will produce a very eflicient surface for scrapingn'iud or dirt of any character from the shoes. It will also be seen that as the material is not as hard as the leather it Will not scratchor wear the soles as is true of a metal mat. And it will also be seen that with a mat of this type it will be possible to force the edges of the soles in between the sections inorder to clean them without scraping the upper part of the shoe.
Having thus fully deseribedthe invention, what. I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A matof the class described embodying link sections of rubberized laminated fabric assembled on 'U-shaped bars in staggered relation to each other; each of said link shaped sections comprising a plurality of wedge shaped members; and a suitable means for holding the sections on the U- shaped bars. 7
PETER 'J. SWANSON.
