UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES E. FMERSON AND THOMAS MIDGLEY, OF BEAVER FALLS, PENNSYL- VANIA.
MAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,941, dated November 10, 1891.
Application filed August 22, 1891.
T0 a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JAMEs E. iMEEsoN and THOMAS MIDGLEY, citizens of the United States, residing at Beaver Falls, in the county of Beaver and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVire Mats; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to wire mats, and has for its object certain improvements in construction, which will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, we have illustrated the best form in which we have contemplated embodying our invention, and the invention will be fully disclosed in the following specification and claims.
In the drawings, Figure l represents a plan view of the mat; Fig. 2, a side view of said mat rolled; Fig. 3, a plan of a mat provided with a wiper; and Figs. et and 5 are modifications.
Reference being had to the drawings and the letters thereon, A indicates a mat composed of bars or sections a, of one or more coiled wire helices, and intervening sections h, of bent Wire, with which the bars or sections a are connected by intertwining, as shown.
The mat shown in Figs. l and 2 is designed for indoor use, such as halls or vestibules, and is made thin, so that a door will readily pass over it in opening and closing. The bars or sections a in this instance are made of several thicknesses of coiled wire helices intertwined and of a width to suit circumstances, varying from one-half to an inch or more. The wire helices are coiled in the usual manner and intertwined or screwed into each other as they proceed from the machine, and the strand or strands forming the edges of the bar are intertwined or screwed into the sections h of bent wire. The sections b serve to separate the bars a and form an open fabrie, through which the tiling or oil-cloth or carpet in a hall or vestibule may be readily seen. These sections h may be bent to form Serial No. 403,379. (No modali) eyes c, as shown in Figs. l, 2, 3, and l, or they may be in the form of a helix flattened, as shown in Fig. 5. It is obvious that the configuration of these uniting4 and separating sections may be greatly modified, and we do not therefore limit our invention to any especial form into which the wire may be bent.
The ends of the mat may be protected and finished by incasing the ends of the sections a and h in a transverse bard, of rubber or equivalent material, such as gutta-percha or linoleum, which forms protection against the fabric of ladies garments catching on the jagged ends of the metal. This rubber bar cl is applied by t-he use of a mold, and the rubber is embedded in the interstices of the Wire fabric of which the mat is composed while the rubber is in a plastic state and is subse quently vulcanized.
The mat thus constructed may be rolled transversely, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to be readily and easily handled and transported.
For some purposes, such as railway and street cars, we may make the sections or bars d of one section of coiled wire, as shown in Figs. 4: and 5, or several sections may be intertwined in the same horizontal plane and the bars separated and held together by the sections h.
For indoor purposes, such as halls, sta-irs, or railway and sleeping cars, where Ornamentation is desired, the mats may be made of different kinds of metal, such as steel and brass or copper.
For outdoor lnats a rubber wiper e, having roughened or serrated edges ff and a roughened or serrated upper surface g, is applied. This wiper is embedded in the body of the mat and projects a sufficient distance above the surface of the mat to afford convenient means for removing any offensive matter from the soles and edges of a boot or shoe. The wiper may be attached in any desired part of the mat, and in large mats two or more wipers may be applied.
The mat constructed 'as shown is very light and pliable, capable of being made in great lengths and rolled for packing, handling,
or transportation, while it is highly ornalnental'and performsall the service of the y thick, heavy, and unwieldy metallic mats now in common use.
Having thus fully described our invention, what We claim is- 1. A Wire mat composed of a plurality of bars formed of coiled Wire helices and intervening sections of continuous strands of wire' tions of strands of wire crossing each other and secured at the edges of the bars and having the ends of the bars and the intervening sections incased in a close flexible covering.
4. A wire mat composed of bars of coiled `Wire helices and intervening sections of strands of Wire having eyes or loops formed thereon, with which the bars are intertwined.
5. A Wire mat composed of bars of a plurality of intertwined coiled Wire helices separated and connected by intervening sections of strands of Wire and provided With a flexible rubber Wiper having roughened sides and upper surface.
In testimony Whereof We afx our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
