Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating an anti-fatigue mat comprising: providing first and second frame members, the second frame member including an aperture for receiving liquid gel therein; positioning the second frame member in an open position that is spaced apart with respect to the first frame member so that the first frame member and second frame member may receive a first flexible sheet therebetween; positioning the first flexible sheet on the first frame member while the first and second frame members are in the open position; moving the second frame member to a closed position such that the first flexible sheet is captured between the second frame member and the first frame member, the aperture of the second frame member exposing a portion of the first flexible sheet; dispensing the liquid gel into the aperture in the second frame member so that the liquid gel covers the portion of the first flexible sheet exposed by the aperture, the liquid gel solidifying to form a resilient gel layer exhibiting a first predetermined durometer; applying a barrier layer on the second frame member and covering the resilient gel layer, the barrier layer exhibiting a second predetermined durometer.
