Publication number: 20070054083Abstract: A rubber or plastic floor mat has a series of parallel upper ribs on its upper surface which define slots in which respective strips or carpeting or the like are removably held. The strips are retained along their lengths by retaining means which run continually or continuously along the slots. The strip retainers include hook-and-loop fasteners (e.g., VELCRO), and/or overhanging edges above the strip edges, preferably formed in one-piece fashion along the side of the upper ribs adjacent the slots. The overhangs may be interrupted, e.g., crenelated as seen from above, and may include bevels.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: R&L Marketing & Sales, IncInventor: Ronald Kessler

Publication number: 20060213019Abstract: A floor mat having a base that includes a plurality of alternating fibrous strips and impervious strips and surrounded by a frame. The base is substantially continuous across its entire width and length, having no openings from its upper surface through to its lower surface. The impervious strips include a plurality of spaced apart rows of spaced apart bosses. The gaps formed between the spaced apart bosses become closed-bottom wells in which water, snow and particles of dirt scraped from the underside of shoes can accumulate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Applicant: R&L Marketing & Sales, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Kessler, Daniel Kessler

Patent number: 7028434Abstract: A thin flexible floor mat system is configured to resist penetration by high heeled shoes and be capable of being easily rolled up in long segments. The floor mat is constituted by a series of small square sections and are connected together with connectors that permit easy deployment and removal of the mat system by detaching segments of the mat from each other. The mat is flexible but resists penetration from high heels and other forms of traffic by virtue maintaining of a predetermined amount of flexibility through the use of auxiliary supports. Further stability is provided by one-piece ramp corners.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Pixterra, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Kessler, Myron Ullman, Kim D. Kendall

Publication number: 20050287330Abstract: A floor mat system has a first mat defining an opening in which a logo mat is removably disposed. Advertising indicia is formed on the upper surface of the logo mat. The first mat and logo mat are removably connected to the floor with clips mounted on the floor. The first mat and logo mat each have sets of first and second ribs extending transversely to one another to create drainage openings therebetween. The lower surfaces of the second ribs are spaced from the floor to create drainage channels below the first mat and logo mat. The second rib upper surfaces are raised above the first rib upper surfaces to provide a suitable surface for scraping debris from the bottom of shoes. A frame assembly includes an outer frame member surrounding the first mat and an inner frame member disposed within the first mat opening and surrounding the logo mat.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2004Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventor: Ronald Kessler

Patent number: 6405495Abstract: A thin flexible floor mat system is configured to resist penetration by high heeled shoes and be capable of being easily rolled up in long segments. The floor mat is constituted by a series of small square sections and are connected together with connectors that permit easy deployment and removal of the mat system by detaching segments of the mat from each other. The mat is flexible but resists penetration from high heels and other forms of traffic by virtue maintaining of a predetermined volume in the areas formed by adjacent cross pieces of the mat. Longitudinal connectors are configured so that the matting connected to half the connector comes away relatively easily while the matting connected to the other half of the connector is held tightly to the connector. Ramp structures are arranged on all outside edges of the mat system. Different connection arrangements between the mat and the ramps are provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Inventors: Ronald Kessler, Myron Ullman
