Abstract: The invention includes an absorbent mat including an absorbent layer having a first surface and an opposing second surface and an adhesive layer on at least a portion of the first surface of the absorbent layer. The opposing second surface is structured and arranged such that the adhesive layer is releasably adhereable with the second surface.

Abstract: A shapeable absorbent mat having an absorbent layer and a forming layer secured to the absorbent layer is disclosed. The forming layer is made from a shapeable material, which may be liquid impermeable. The absorbent layer may be secured to the forming layer by an adhesive layer disposed between the absorbent layer and the forming layer. The shapeable absorbent mat formed fitted to almost any shape which makes the mat well suited be wrapped around pipes, fittings and other equipment. The shapeable absorbent mat may also be shaped into a pan to catch leaks and drips. Additionally, the shapeable absorbent mat may be used forming side up to form a trough to channel liquids away.

Abstract: An anti-fatigue mat is provided having a layer of absorbent material attached face-to-face to a layer of cushioning material. The layer of absorbent material has liquid absorbent properties, while the layer of cushioning material has shock absorption properties and is preferably liquid impermeable. While the layer of cushioning material may inherently have some liquid absorbent properties, its primary function is for shock absorption. The layer of absorbent material includes top and bottom surfaces, with the layer of cushioning material attached to the bottom surface of the layer of absorbent material. In one form, since the inventive mat may incur moderate to high foot traffic, a layer of wear-resistant material is attached to the top surface of the layer of absorbent material to increase the useful life of the inventive mat.

Abstract: A safety device includes a material, and a cone holding the material and having an opening from which the material can be dispensed. The material can have absorbent properties and/or can be configured to warn of a hazard by displaying cautionary information. A hazard can be addressed by providing the cone containing the material within an area prone to hazards, and, after a hazard is created within the area, removing material from the cone and placing the material on the hazard.
