MATTING.
Application filed May 28,
My invention relates to improvements in matting, and similar wearing surfaces, and more particularly has reference to the so- "alled link type of fabrication therefor which is preferably made by small pieces of punched out sheet material such as leather, some of which are preferably in the form of discs or washers of small area, and all of which are arranged in rows connected by metallic links, wires, rods, or metallic strips. This arrangement has the advantage of eheapness and durability, while at the same time offering a larger open area for the passage of dirt and other foreign matter otherwise retained thereby.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan view of a suitable form of mat, embodying an application of my invention, part of the same being broken away. Fig. 2 is an end View looking upwardly at the same.
l indicates a suitable U-shaped form of wire bent with a loop or hook such as 5 to engage an adjoining wire of similar form such as 6, said wires penetrating the leather links such as 7 as shown, and the end links such as "Z, 8 are preferably tapered as shown to minimize the likelihood of stubbing the toe when approaching the mat from the right or left, and if desired the side links such as 9, 10 may also be gradually reduced in height so as to taper the edge of the mat if desired as shown in Fig. 2. 11 indicate suitable perforated discs or washers of tough and durable material such as leather through which the wires pass as shown and these small discs preferably form the major portion or centre of the matting, thereby providing large spaces such as 12 through which 1923. Serial No. 641,819.
the dirt from the shoes may drop, whereas if only the longer links such as 10 were used, there would be no spaces such as 12 and the dirt would only fall through spaces such as 14c. 15 indicates links or strips of brass or other suitable preferably non-corrosive metal through which the wires pass as shown, and serve also to increase the areas of the openings which they span and which would be smaller if groups of leather links were used in staggered relation as in the prior patented art. Along the sides and at the ends of the matting, the longer links are preferably used as shown giving additional strength and better wearing qualities, altl ough of course it will be readily understood that changes in the general arrangement of the links and in the designs produceu thereby may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
1 claim:
In matting of the class described, a series of parallel rods upon which the links of matting are secured, the links at opposite ends being longer than links intermediate thereof, and spaced apart intervening relatively thinner metallic links upon said rods. all of said links being longer than some of said leather links.
1n testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
WILLIAM J. REILLY.
