Nonwoven fibrous webs including randomly oriented discrete fibers defining a multiplicity of non-hollow projections extending from a major surface of the nonwoven fibrous web (as considered without the projections), and a plurality of substantially planar land areas formed between each adjoining projection in a plane defined by and substantially parallel with the major surface. In some exemplary embodiments, the randomly oriented discrete fibers include multi-component fibers having at least a first region having a first melting temperature and a second region having a second melting temperature, wherein the first melting temperature is less than the second melting temperature. At least a portion of the oriented discrete fibers are bonded together at a plurality of intersection points with the first region of the multi-component fibers. In certain embodiments, the patterned air-laid nonwoven fibrous webs include particulates. Methods of making and using such patterned air-laid nonwoven fibrous webs are also disclosed.

A selectively repositionable mat having a liquid-absorbing layer backed by a moisture impermeable backsheet having peripheral margins including oppositely disposed, laterally extending side margins each comprising a longitudinally extending V-fold containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied between two opposed surface portions of the underside of the backsheet. The V-fold can open to the outside when configured as the top part of a Z-fold disposed above the backsheet or can open to the inside when configured as a single fold disposed below the backsheet, but is desirably configured so as to permit repositionable attachment of the mat to an underlying surface or substrate for which the selectively releasable, pressure-sensitive adhesive demonstrates sufficient tackiness to hold the mat in place relative to the substrate during normal use.

A playmat system includes a series of isosceles right triangle tiles and edge tiles. Advantageously, the triangle shaped tiles and edge tiles have one or of two color or patterns or more. The triangle shaped tiles and edge tiles have complementary edges which allow the triangle tiles to be interlockingly engaged with one another along either hypotenuse edges or like edges to thereby produce a number of different patterns when laid out and interconnected.

A detachable carpet includes a carpet surface and an anti-slip mat. The carpet surface includes a surface layer and a bottom three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer. The anti-slip mat includes a bottom anti-slip and water-repellent layer and an upper bonding layer, and the bonding layer is a single-sided fabric on which are arranged a plurality of polyester, polypropylene or nylon monofilament protrusions. The protrusions can be inserted into corresponding meshes of the three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer. The bonding layer of the anti-slip mat of the present invention adopts a single-sided structure layer formed by cutting the middle of the three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer, or a single-sided fabric that is made of at least 20D monofilament and provided with protrusions. The 20D-120D polyester, polypropylene or nylon monofilament on the bonding layer forms thick and rigid protrusions with a certain stiffness.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an absorbent, storable, low-profile, non-slip, quick drying rug that is stored in an upright position against a wall or tub when the rug is not being used for drying, so as to maintain the rug's cleanliness and enhance its quick-drying capabilities. Also disclosed is a method for using an absorbent, storable, low-profile, non-slip, quick drying rug.

The present disclosure relates to a mat for a companion animal, and the mat includes an outer cover surrounding an outside of the mat; a double-layered fabric disposed on an inside of the outer cover to prevent contraction or bursting thereof; a cool gel made of an edible material, which is disposed on an inside of the double-layered fabric to maintain a low temperature state thereof; and coating layers coated on a surface of the outer cover.

Described herein is a polymer vehicle oil concrete cover. The inventive concept is equipped with a rubber top mat with a grate assembly to let oil drip through, an oil catching mat, and a base mat that contains the oil and prevents oil from draining onto concrete. This device is reusable, weather-resistant, and may have an adhesive base. The inventive concept may contain concrete fasteners. Sides are sloped upward.

A protective mat for keeping fishing gear untangled with boat surfaces including a first layer including a hard upper surface and a second layer for engaging the protective mat with boat carpet.

Crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires is subjected to an interlinked substitution process. The process utilizes a reactive component that interferes with sulfur bonds. The resulting treated rubber exhibits properties similar to those of the virgin composite rubber structure prior to being granulated, and is suitable for use in fabricating new tires, engineered rubber articles, and asphalt rubber for use in waterproofing and paving applications.

A structural reinforced composite construction mat includes a plurality of composite plastic beams that are ganged together to define the mat, with a plurality of flitch plates disposed between at least some of the plastic beams to provide additional strength and rigidity to the mat. The plastic beams may be made of a composite material have a generally rectangular cross-section. The flitch plates have a width (vertical height) when disposed between adjacent beams that is less than the width (vertical height) of the beams, such that the flitch plates may be recessed below and above the top and bottom surfaces of the mat, respectively. A plurality of rods extend in the lateral direction through the beams and plates to compress the beams and plates against each. The flitch plates may be metal or fiber-reinforced resin and may further include slotted holes to allow the beams to retract lengthwise in response to environmental changes.
