An entryway mat with a misting area and a drying area. When a user steps on the misting area, a disinfecting solution is dispensed onto the bottoms of the user's feet. The user then steps onto the drying area to wipe away the disinfecting solution.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat with a hidden base component. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.

A mat assembly includes a center section and four ramps that create a unitary mat assembly for any desired use. The center section includes a top plate that provides the desired kind of mat surface for use and a sponge layer underlying the top plate to provide the center section with a cushioned feel during use. Each ramp includes a flange that extends from an end portion of the ramp, the flange configured to be joined between the top plate and sponge insert. The ramps can be joined to each other using a connector or a mitered connection.

A sticky mat changing device includes a frame, an unreeling roller, a reeling roller, and a control module. The frame includes a foot board configured for supporting a sticky mat. The unreeling roller is operable to unreel the sticky mat. The reeling roller is operable to reel the sticky mat. The unreeling roller and the reeling roller are disposed inside the frame and located on opposite sides of the foot board, the control module is operable to control each of the reeling roller and the unreeling roller to rotate to change a portion of the sticky mat supported on the foot board.

This invention relates to installation methods for a multi-component floor mat. The floor mat typically contains a textile component and a base component. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is described herein.

A treadable mat comprises at least one sanitisation portion (10; 110) treadable by a user and provided with sanitisation means suitable to dispense a sanitising substance. The sanitisation portion comprises a treadable support surface (14). The sanitisation means are housed in a sanitisation seat (16) formed in the sanitisation portion below said support surface 14. The sanitisation means comprise at least one tank (22; 120) containing the sanitising substance, at least one dispensing nozzle (24; 122) in fluidic communication with said tank (22; 120), said dispensing nozzle having an open end on said support surface, and actuator means (30; 130) operable to generate a spray or a vaporized or nebulised jet of the sanitising substance in the presence of a sanitisation command signal.

A footwear mat assembly for preventing arthropods from entering footwear stored thereon includes a base including a base top surface including a footwear storage location adapted to receive a pair of footwear, and a raised barrier including a barrier bottom surface adhesively and removably secured to the base top surface, a barrier top surface carrying an arthropod-securing adhesive composition layer, and a barrier inner perimeter defining an opening adapted to receive the pair of footwear therethrough for placement on the footwear storage location.

A shoe sole cleaning device may include a fluid reservoir having an inner chamber, a trough fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, a brush having bristles and operably connected to an axial shaft, the brush disposed partially within or above the trough, and a motor operably connected to the axial shaft and configured to cause the brush to rotate about the axial shaft.

Doormat assembly comprising a base including a central area and a peripheral area surrounding the central area, a frame assembly formed separately from the base and forming a frame with a central opening for exposing the central area of the base, and a removable insert unsecured to the base and sized to fit within the central opening of the frame assembly so as to cover the central area of the base, wherein the frame assembly comprises a plurality of side members and a plurality of corner portions engaged with the side members to form the frame, and wherein the removable insert is removable through the central opening in the frame and replaceable.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component floor mat. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by at least one surface attraction means and at least one edge attachment means. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation.
