  • Non-skid floor mat design
    Patent number: 6933036
    Abstract: A non-skid floor mat for use in a golf car is provided to enable traction with one of a hard spike and a soft spike of a golf shoe. The non-skid floor mat includes a sheet of elastomeric material and nibs in the wall area of the mat. The nibs are sufficiently spaced from one another to enable one of direct contact of the hard spike with the sheet and contact of the soft spike with both the nibs and the sheet. Preferably, the nibs have a height between 0.12 and 0.19 inches, and are offset from one another by a center to center distance of between 0.5 and 0.8 inches.
