1 Claim.
This invention relates to a new and improved floor mat construction, its object is the provision of a relatively thin mat which is particularly effective for many industrial purposes where it becomes necessary or advantageous to insulate the footwear of workers from cold, damp or from injurious chemical solutions and the like. A further object is to provide a mat of this character which is more economical to manufacture both in regard to labour and materials than other rubber strip mats now in vogue.
In the construction which I adopt, thin strips of rubber fabric or other material can be used to advantage whereas hitherto in such mats material much thicker has had to be employed, thus there is a considerable saving of material as well as the utilizing of much that has been discarded as useless for any such purpose. Whilst there is this lessening of weight and cost, there is owing to the special means employed a corresponding relative increase of the apparent thickness of the mat due to the weave principle which I incorporate and this of course adds to the heat insulation quality without further cost in materials.
The invention is better described by the aid of the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this application and in which Fig. 1 is a plan view.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation,
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 3'3 of Fig. 1,
and
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the coupling for the wire rods.
In the drawing the numeral 5 indicates a flat longitudinal strip of rubberized or other pliable material, 6 the perforations therein at spaced apart intervals, 7 are transversely arranged wire 1933, Serial No. 684,945 932 rods, in this case used in pairs and bent into a relatively U-shaped form as at 8 with their free ends secured by the tube coupling 9.
It will be noted that the longitudinal edges of the strips 5 are brought into approximate juxtaposition, and that the wire rods 7 are woven through the strips 6 successively in the usual alternate order, this construction has the effect of raising the rubber or strip material at the points where the rods pass below the joined edges as at 10 and of correspondingly depressing the surface where the rods pass over the juncture as at 11., This gives to the general construction a unique surface quality, as it produces a number of supporting projections both above and below and affords a peculiar suppleness and resilient eifect quite unusual with rubber mats.
What I claim is:
A floor mat construction comprising the combination of a series of longitudinal strips of rubberized fabric positioned together side by side in parallelism, a series of wire rods positioned transversely of said strips and in spaced apart parallelism, each said strip having perforations corresponding with and adapted to receive said wire rods, the adjacent edges of said strips being in substantial juxtaposition and said rods being threadedly woven through said strips in alternate order whereby said rods pass alternately over and under the longitudinal edges of said strips in both longitudinal and transverse directions and whereby an undulatory rubber surface is produced in both longitudinal and transverse directions thus providing a multiplicity of points of support for the feet and increasing the efiective thickness of the mat.
