Application led anuary 26, 1923. Serial No. 615,179.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, EMIL A. GRABowsKr, a citizen of the United States, residin at Escanaba, in thecounty of Delta and tate of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Floor Mats, of which the following is a specification.
rlihis invention relates to foot mats and similar Hoor coverings, and its object is to provide a hygienic and sanitary article of this kind in which are incorporated spiral springs to render walking easier and less noisy. The mat is well adapted for use around the `base of' dentist and barber chairs, but it can also be usedY in hallways and other places, and especially in hospitals where' a door mat is desirable to eliminate noise from walking. The mat will also be found useful in banks, lodge-rooms and other places, and especially in places where employees are com elled to be on their feet With the object stated in view, the invention consists in a novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed and in order that the same may be better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, wherein, -Figure 1 isa plan view of a mat designed for use around the base of a dentist or barber chair;
Fig. 2 isl an enlarged cross-section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a spring frame;
Fig. 4: is an enlarged section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5 is a detail in piers ective.
The mat shown in t e rawings is coinposed of three arcuate sections A, B and C, respectively, which cover the iioor adjacentto the base of the barber, dentist or other chair, and they are arranged to partly. surround such chair base.
Each mat section consists of a metallic frame work composed of parallel and spaced top and bottom cross strips 10 andv 11, between which are interposed conical spiral springs 12, said springs being positioned in alternate order and suitably fastened at their top and bottom ends to the strips. The cross strips are exible they being made of spring steel or other suitable material. At t e inner curved edge of this frame, the cross strips are connected in laterally spaced relation by a curved strip 13, and a similar stri 13.
Strip 14 connects the outer curved edge of the cross stri s. At one end of the frame, a straight strip 15 connects those cross strips which are not connected by the curved e top of the spring frame hereinbefore described is provided with a pad 16 of felt or other suitable cushioning material, and on top 'of this is a covering 17 of canvas or other suitable textile material.
The canvas covering 17 extends down over the curved inner and outer edges of the mat section and also here overlaps the bottom of the spring frame for a short distance. This bottom portion of the covering has eyelets to receive a lacing 18 for holding the` covering in place. The covering may also be laced directly to the spring frame, and for this purpose the strips 14 and 15 are provided with perforations 19.
The covering' 17 of the middle section B of the mat is laced at its ends to the adjacent ends ofthe coverings of the end sections A. and C of the mat, as shown at 20. The aforesaid ends of the coverings of the sections A and C are also provided with -aps 21 which underlap the lacings to` prevent dust and dirt from passing through the joints and accumulating on the pad 16. By means of the lacings 20 the three sections areJ detachably connected at their adjoining en s. l
At the outer ends of the end sections A and C of the mat, the coverings 17 thereof are formed into pockets 22 in which said l ends seat and by which they are covered.
The mat may also be provided with a strap-and-buckle fastening 23 for securingA the same to the base of thechair.
The drawings disclose a practical embodiment of the invention, but it will be understo'od that various changes and modifications may be made without a departure from the spirit and scope thereof as set forth in the appended claims. The mat can be made 100 in any desired number of sections and in any desired shape according to the location in which it is to be used.
I claim:
1. In a iioor mat, a frame composed of 105 upper and lower sections, each made up of closely spaced strips of yieldable material arranged in substantial parallelism and connected together, a comparatively thin pad c of uniform thickness resting on said upper 110 section, and a removable cover stretched tightly over the pad to provide a smooth and plane surface to Walk on.
2. In a floor mat, a spring supported frame adapted to lie on a rigid oor, and a. removable cover stretched tautly over the top, sides, and ends of said frame, the edges u of said cover underlyingthe opposed sides of said lower section, said edges having apertures, and lacing passing through the apertures to hold said cover in place.
3. A floor mat comprising a plurality of yieldnble sections or units of uniform height having their ends arranged in abutting relation, said units being equipped with covers, the adjacent ends of which are formed with holes, and separate cords laced through said holes to detachably connect the units together.
4. The structure set forth inv claim 3,
wherein said covers are provided with fiaps disposed beneath said cords for the purpose specified. Y
5. In a floor mat, a plurality of substantially arcuate units of uniform height having their ends arranged in abutting relation to form a segmental met, the innerlongitudinal sides of the unitsV being arranged in a manner to form an opening at the .center ofthe mat to permit it to surround the standard of a barbers chair or the like, said units being constructed to render them yeldable, and means for attaching the mat to said standard.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
