Abstract:
A lightweight universal panel mat ( 100, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1100, 1500, 1800, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 ) made of plastic or elastomeric material and having a first section that provides a relatively flat, textured or structured top surface to facilitate movement over the mat and a second section having geometry that includes a plurality of cells having top surfaces that support the first section. The panel mats have first, second, third and fourth sides ( 110,120,135,145 ) that are configured to matingly engage or connect to the second, third, fourth and first sides, respectively. The connection can be by insertion or snap-locking of one side to another, or by the use of fastening elements that more securely holds the sides together. Thus, similarly configured panel mats can be connected by interlocking to form a temporary support surface, deck, walkway or roadway. Additional side ramps ( 2030 ) and adapters ( 2050 ) can be used to facilitate installation of the mats ( 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 ) and access to the upper surfaces of the joined mats.

Claim (Index 25):
The invention of  claim 22 , further comprising one or more side ramps that facilitate smooth access to the upper surface of a mat by wheelchairs or other wheeled articles; and a separate adapter for each ramp wherein each adapter is connected to both the mat and the side ramp, wherein the ramps have sloped bottom surfaces that align with the upwardly sloped upper surface of the lower structure and the adapter has an upper surface with two sloped portions, one that aligns with the downwardly sloped lower surface of the upper structure of the mats and the other that aligns with the sloped bottom surfaces of the ramps.
