| Patent Number: | CA2137848 | | Publication Date: | 1996-06-13 | | Application Date: | 1994-12-12 | | Inventor: | KO YU-CHUN (CA);WONG BOB M (CA) | | Applicant: | KO YU CHUN (CA);WONG BOB M (CA) | | | Abstract: | | | A disposable car floor mat comprises a paper core, a mesh made of synthetic materials, a vinyl sheet and a paper under-pad, all stapled in one piece. The said car mat can be folded for easy storage and disposal. In this invention the paper core, comprising 2 sheets of water absorbing paper and a stack of used newspaper, is used to form the main absorbing core of the disposable car floor mat. The bottom part of this mat is protected by a piece of vinyl sheet so as to prevent direct contact between the wetted paper core and the floor. The upper layer of the paper core are 2 sheets of water absorbing paper for rapid absorption and spreading of water over the entire surface of the paper core. Water is then transferred to the newspaper underneath through percolation. A mesh made of synthetic materials, covering the surface of the paper core, provides protection to the papers from abrasion.; All these components are stapled together to form one single piece. The materials of the mat renders it foldable and disposable economically. As water are held inside the paper core, the floor area can remain clean and dry. |
