Abstract: This invention relates to a floor mat primarily for use in an outdoor environment wherein the mat includes a tufted carpet solely comprised of nylon monofilament fibers. Furthermore, this mat comprises a foam rubber backing which possesses a high level of ozone resistance and simultaneously will not appreciably stain a handler's skin or a floor's surface with carbon particles. The utilization of all monofilament nylon fibers provides for the extreme effective removal of moisture, dirt, and debris from the footwear of pedestrians and also permits easy cleaning and effective drying of the overall article. The utilization of a foam rubber backing also allows for heavy duty industrial-scale laundering in such standard washing machines without appreciably damaging either the washing machines or inventive floor mats themselves.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cushioned floor covering article wherein the mat includes a tufted carpet placed on the top side of a foam rubber sheet and at least one foam rubber protrusion integrated within at least a portion of the bottom side of the foam rubber sheet. Such an article provides effective removal of moisture, dirt, and debris from the footwear of pedestrians through the utilization of a carpet pile component. Furthermore, the utilization of a foam rubber backing also allows for either periodic heavy duty industrial-scale laundering in such standard washing machines or periodic washing and drying in standard in-home machines, both without appreciably damaging the inventive floor covering article, such as a floor mat. Additionally, the presence of integrated foam rubber protrusions within the mat structure provides an effective cushioning effect for pedestrian comfort as well as a means to prevent slippage of the article from its contacted surface. A method of producing such an inventive cushioned floor covering article is also provided.

Abstract: A process for the application of tear resistant side and edge strip materials to a rubber base sheet of a launderable dust control mat is provided. The process involves the in-line mating of first and second strips of carboxylated rubber to the longitudinal borders of a rubber sheet and the in-line mating of third and fourth strips of carboxylated rubber to the leading and tailing edges of a rubber sheet, respectively, all by means of a series of pressure rolls. The process permits separate rubber sheet and side strip materials to be joined in a continuous or semicontinuous operation immediately prior to assembly of a mat thereby enhancing material handling efficiencies. Dust mats produced thereby are also provided.
