A multi-height deck mat including a first platform having a first top surface, a first bottom surface and a first end surface extending therebetween; a second platform disposed adjacent the first platform and having a second top surface and a second bottom surface and a second end surface extending therebetween; and a hinge connecting the first platform and the second platform for movement of the first and second platforms relative to one another, the hinge element being adjacent the first end surface and the second end surface, whereby the first platform and the second platform is movable between a first disposition wherein the a first end surface is in abutment with the a second end surface wherein the deck mat provides a first height; and a second disposition wherein the first platform and the second platform assume a stacked relationship wherein the deck mat provides a second height.

An ear plug includes an elongated body sized and shaped to be partially inserted into an ear canal of a wearer, in which the body includes a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) polymer foam material having a Poisson's ratio of between 0 and −1. A mouth guard includes an arc-shaped element sized to be received into a mouth of a wearer. The arc-shaped element has an outer wall, an inner wall, and a biting wall connecting the outer wall and the inner wall. The outer wall, the inner wall, and the biting wall define a channel that is sized to receive upper teeth of the wearer or lower teeth of the wearer. The outer wall, the biting wall, or both includes a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) material having a Poisson's ratio between 0 and −1.

A carpet tile includes a textile top member and a cushion mat that is coupled with the textile top member via a thermoplastic material. The textile top member includes carpet yarns and a backing that is coupled with the carpet yarns so that the backing structurally supports the carpet yarns. The cushion mat includes a polymeric material component having polymer fibers that are randomly oriented and entangled together and a scrim reinforcement that is disposed within the polymeric material component. The scrim reinforcement reinforces and stabilizes the polymeric material component and is entirely covered and concealed by the intermeshed polymer fibers.

Devices and methods that assist in the repair of an automobile.

A non-slip foam floor mat includes a mat body, a plastic film and a non-slip layer. The mat body is made of a foam material. The plastic film is attached to a surface of the mat body. The plastic film has a top surface. The top surface is processed by electric shock or flame to form a plurality of fine dents. The non-slip layer is formed of a non-slip coating coated on the top surface of the plastic film. The non-slip coating is embedded in the fine dents and tightly joined to the plastic film, thereby forming a high friction coefficient to achieve a non-slip effect.

An activity is provided for promoting the development of one or more of foot strength, motor skills, balance, and sensory awareness. In one example, an activity mat comprises a body portion comprising a foam, the body portion having a first density, and one or more surface features included on a top surface of the body portion, wherein at least one of the one or more surface features has a second density, the second density different than the first density. Each of the one or more surface features may be either raised or recessed relative to the top surface of the activity mat providing an uneven surface with variable density.

An embodiment of the invention provides a safety cushion mat that includes an inner filler made of a synthetic resin expanded foam member, and a first sheet and a second sheet which cover an upper and a lower surface of the inner filler, respectively. The inner filler may have air outlets formed in its upper and lower surfaces in a particular pattern. The first sheet may include a first sheet body portion and a first edge portion, and the second sheet may include a second sheet body portion and a second edge portion. The second edge portion may be fused with the first edge portion of the first sheet. When the first sheet and the second sheet are fused onto both sides of the inner filler, any air remaining between the first and second sheets and the inner filler may be discharged through the air outlets of the inner filler.

The present invention is a plush heat up runner with features including: Bluetooth smart app, voice control, lights, timer auto turn off, and battery powered. Heating coils are inside the runner to provide warmth to the user and also facilitate safety against spills and pet damage. The heat up runner suctions to the floor to resist shifting while a person walks on it. A user may control settings on the runner by using the accompanying app or the voice control feature. A method includes straightening a single scroll for heating via a substrate having a length, a width and a thickness, the substrate initially rolled up into a single scroll. The method also includes running a scrollable grid of internal heating coils, having an angular relation to each other, along a portion of the length and a portion of the width of the substrate within the thickness of the substrate.

A foot pillow that is a flat cushion for the feet, an apparatus that consists of one or more layers that are combined into one unit that a person can put their feet on. To distinguish from prior art, this foot pillow has multiple strategic layers to elevate the feet from the floor or ground surface. This foot pillow is one to four inches in thickness. A reflective insulated layer is added to reflect the cold from the floor and the warmth of the feet. The top layer may be attached or can be removed for washing.
