ramp member 22 of FIGS. 2 and 3,ramp member 22 has amat attachment edge 26, afloor edge 28, atop surface 30 into which the ramp is incorporated and abottom surface 32 which makes contact with a floor or other surface on which the mat and ramp members are to be placed. - As seen in FIG. 3, a series of upwardly-extending
bosses 34 may be formed in mat attachment edge oframp member 22.Bosses 34 are configured to project and secure into corresponding cavities (not shown) inbottom side 36 ofmat 24. Alternatively, the attachmentedge ramp member 20 incorporate a series of cavities (not shown) formed on the bottom side oframp member 20 for receiving therein corresponding ones of a series ofbosses 38 formed inmat 24. - For simplicity, the features of
ramp member 22 will be discussed in detail. It is understood that the features discussed in the following description may be common to either oframp members ramp members bosses 34 inmat attachment edge 26 oframp member 22, and the provision of cavities (not shown) inmat attachment edge 46 oframp member 20 for receivingmat bosses 38 therein. In FIG. 3,ramp member 22 includesbosses 34 for projecting into cavities in bottom side ofmat 24, andramp member 20 has cavities incorporated into its bottom surface for receiving thereinbosses 38 formed inmat 24. - In one embodiment,
ramp member 22 is longitudinal and has afirst end 40, asecond end 42 oppositefirst end 40 and a longitudinal axis A.First end 40 may include anedge 44 formed at an acute angle with respect to longitudinalaxis A. Edge 44 is configured for positioning adjacent and/or in abutment with an edge of an end portion of another ramp member, in a manner to be described in detail later. One example is demonstrated in FIG. 1.Angled edge 44 may form a 45 degree angle with longitudinal axis A. As seen in FIG. 2,top surface 30 slopes upward from a floor or other resting surface towardmat attachment edge 26.Ramp member 22 may be formed from any moldable material having properties suitable for a desired application of the ramp. For example, a plastic or rubber compound possessing sufficient mechanical toughness and chemical resistance may be used to handle domestic, commercial or even industrial applications. - Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a tab, generally designated48, projects in a first direction from ramp member
first end 40. Generally,tab 48 is formed unitarily withramp member 22 and may extend from first endangled edge 44. As seen in FIGS. 4-6 and 9-10A,tab 48 comprises afirst tab portion 50 from which first andsecond projections second tab portion 54 connectingfirst tab portion 50 with ramp memberfirst end 40.Projections tab 48 in a direction out of alignment with the plane and generally transverse to the plane in this embodiment. In one embodiment,first tab portion 50 withprojections ramp members - Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4,
first projection 52 a andsecond projection 52 b are generally longitudinal in configuration. However,projections second projections third projection 56 may be incorporated intosecond tab portion 54.Third projection 56 may extend from the plane defined bytab 48 in a direction out of alignment with the plane and this embodiment is generally perpendicular to the plane and may form an acute angle with ramp member longitudinal axis A. - Referring to FIG. 7, a pair of
cavities bottom surface 32 proximatefirst end 40 oframp member 22.Cavities projections tab 48 oframp member 20, in a manner to be described in detail later. It should be understood that cavities formed inbottom surface 32 oframp member 22 generally extend intobottom surface 32 to a predetermined depth to form a blind hole. However, any of the cavities formed inbottom surface 32 may extend completely through a body oframp member 22 to form a through hole if desired. Ascavities projections cavities tab 48. - As seen in FIG. 7,
grooves bottom side 32 oframp member 22 proximate respective ones ofcavities end 40.Grooves end 40 along either ofgrooves grooves respective cavity projections first tab portion 50. - Referring to FIG. 8, a series of
cavities bottom surface 32 proximate ramp membersecond end 42.Cavities projections first tab portion 50 oftab 48.Cavity 78 is configured to receivetherein projection 56 extending fromtab 48. Ascavities projections cavities tab 48. - As seen in FIG. 8,
grooves bottom side 32 oframp member 22 proximate respective ones ofcavities second end 42.Grooves second end 42 along either ofgrooves grooves respective cavity B separating projections first tab portion 50. - Methods of connecting multiple ramp members together to form a border extending around one or more outer edges of a mat will now be discussed.
- A pair of
ramp members second ramp member 22 may be connected to afirst ramp member 20 such that longitudinal axis A ofsecond ramp member 22 forms an angle with respect to longitudinal axis C offirst ramp member 22, thereby forming a corner. This enables a border to be formed around mats having any one of a variety of shapes. - Generally, in order to ensure that ramp member edges positioned so as to abut each other have substantially the same length, ramp member edges which are to abut each other will be formed such that the angles that the abutting edges make with respective longitudinal axes of the ramp members are approximately the same. Alternatively, it may be desired, for purposes of forming an intersection defining a predetermined angle between two ramp members, to form adjacent ramp member abutting edges oriented at different angles with respect to their respective longitudinal axes.
- Generally, for attachment to a
first ramp member 20, asecond ramp member 22 will be positioned such that a longitudinal axis A ofsecond ramp member 22 forms a predetermined angle with a longitudinal axis C offirst ramp member 20. One example is shown in FIG. 3. - A method for attaching two
ramp members ramp members tab 48 is cut fromfirst end 66 offirst ramp member 20.First tab portion 50 is separated fromsecond tab portion 54 to form a connector. A portion of first ramp memberfirst end 66 is cut off along groove 62 (see FIG. 7) to form amating edge 68. Also, a portion of second ramp membersecond end 42 is cut off along groove 86 (see FIG. 8) to form amating edge 70. First ramp member firstend mating edge 68 and second ramp member secondend mating edge 70 are then positioned adjacent each other. In the embodiment shown, mating edges 68 and 70 are positioned so as to actually abut each other (FIG. 9A). Whenmating edge 68 andmating edge 70 abut each other,cavity 58 formed in the bottom surface of first ramp member 20 (see FIG. 7) andcavity 82 formed in the bottom surface of second ramp member 22 (see FIG. 8) will reside adjacent each other. One ofprojections connector 50 is then inserted intocavity 58, and the remaining one ofprojections cavity 82, thereby couplingfirst member 20 andsecond member 22 together via first tab portion/connector 50. - A method for attaching two
ramp members tab 48 remains connected tofirst ramp member 20 and the predetermined angle between the longitudinal axes C and A oframp members projections tab 48 are inserted intocavities first ramp member 20first end 66 andsecond ramp member 22second end 42 together. - A method for attaching two
ramp members ramp members - Again it is contemplated that the following description of cuts of the ramp members and corresponding portions can be done in a number of ways and order of cuts to obtain the desired result. The following is merely one way of accomplishing the desired result. Referring to FIGS. 3, 7,8, 10 and 10A, to form an inside corner,
tab 48 is cut from first ramp memberfirst end 66.First tab portion 50 is then separated fromsecond tab portion 54 to form a connector. A portion of first ramp memberfirst end 66 is then cut off along groove 64 (FIG. 7) to form amating edge 72. Also, a portion ofsecond ramp member 22second end 42 is cut off alonggroove 88 to form amating edge 74. Firstmember mating edge 72 and secondmember mating edge 74 are then positioned adjacent each other. In the embodiment shown, mating edges 72 and 74 are positioned so as to actually abut each other (FIG. 10A). Whenmating edge 72 andmating edge 74 abut each other,cavity 60 formed in the bottom surface offirst ramp member 20 andcavity 84 formed in the bottom surface ofsecond ramp member 22 will reside adjacent each other. One ofprojections connector 50 is then inserted intocavity 60, and the remaining one ofprojections cavity 84, thereby couplingfirst member 20 andsecond member 22 together via first tab portion/connector 50. - Thus, it may be seen from the methods described above that by appropriate trimming of a single, standardized ramp member piece, a variety of ramp configurations may be achieved. If it is desired to position first member
first end 66 adjacent, but separated from, second membersecond end 42 when forming any of the ramp member configurations described above, the predetermineddistance separating projections first tab portion 50 may be adjusted prior to fabrication of the ramp member to increase the predetermined separation distance betweenprojections First tab portion 50 is then used to connectsecond member 22 withfirst member 20 as previously described. - It should be understood that the preceding is merely a detailed description of one embodiment of this invention and that numerous changes to the disclosed embodiment can be made in accordance with the disclosure herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The preceding description, therefore, is not meant to limit the scope of the invention. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be determined only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
