Publication number: 20230121533Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modular mat system. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to a modular mat system with that may be built out using common pieces of mats. Specifically, a modular mat system with a mat piece with a top plate with inserts, a bottom plate with a plurality of tabs and recesses operative to engage with further mat pieces to build a mat system is discussed. The modular mat system is operative to remove water and other detritus from shoes of a user or other such platform moving across the mat system and feed it to a perimeter drain below the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: R&L Marketing & Sales, Inc.Inventors: David M.

Publication number: 20220168881Abstract: A device for reducing direct contact between a person's hand and an object in their environment. The device is a low touch utensil comprising a body with a top and bottom surfaces, and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. A handle on the body is grasped in a single hand of a user. The user manipulates the body to bring at least one region of the utensil's body into contact with a surface of an object in their environment, particularly a surface the user might think is contaminated with viruses, bacteria or other substances. The user manipulates the body to apply one of a pushing force, a pulling force, and a rotational force on the object to move the object, activate a function of the object, or deactivate a function of the object. The contact region on the body may be a specially configured region of the peripheral wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: R&L MARKETING & SALES, INC.Inventors: Ronald N. Kessler, David M. Neill

Patent number: 10786949Abstract: A mat unit includes a plurality of gaps defined by a first layer that are in open communication with gaps defined by a second layer so as to permit debris to fall entirely through both gaps to pass completely through the mat unit. The mat unit is part of an omnidirectional mat cleaning system that includes a first direction of travel above the mat unit extending through a door opening defined by a building structure. A different second direction of travel is above the mat unit extending through the door opening or another door opening defined by the building structure. The mat unit is installed on a floor adjacent the door opening. The mat unit cleans shoes regardless of the direction of travel traveled above the mat unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: R&L Marketing & Sales, Inc.Inventors: David M.

Patent number: 10137639Abstract: A mat unit is formed from at least two layers ultrasonically welded together. Each layer is individually formed from non-vinyl nontoxic thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. In ultrasonically joining the two layers together, there is no need to use additional materials, such as adhesive (i.e., chemical attachment) or stitched thread (i.e., mechanical attachment) to form the joint/weld point. Once formed from the two layers, the mat unit has four quadrants and a plurality of longitudinal ribs integrally formed in the first layer positioned in the first and third quadrants, and a plurality of transverse ribs integrally formed in the first layer positioned in the second and fourth quadrants. Additionally, there are a plurality of longitudinal ribs integrally formed in the second layer positioned in the second and fourth quadrants, and a plurality of transverse ribs integrally formed in the second layer positioned in the first and third quadrants.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: R&L Marketing & Sales, Inc.Inventors: David M.
