Abstract:
A composite floor mat having an upper layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer. The upper layer comprises a durable wear surface, the middle layer comprises a plurality of pockets, each filled with an energy dissipative material. The bottom layer is bound to the upper layer and defines a perimeter of the mat and a network of ribs defining the pockets of the middle layer. A mat system comprises a plurality of mat components positioned adjacent one another, including edge mat components, corner mat components, and internal mat components, held together by retaining clips disposed in a channels of the mat components. A process for manufacture of a floor mat assembly, and product produced thereby, are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
A process for manufacturing a floor mat assembly, the process comprising the sequential steps of:\n (a) providing a tool comprising a base and a lid; (b) placing a first layer in the base of the tool, the first layer comprising a material configured to provide a durable wear surface of the floor mat configured to face away from the floor in use; (c) distributing a plurality of portions of energy dissipative material on the first layer in a predetermined pattern, with a predetermined separation distance between adjacent portions; (d) dispensing a non-cured fluid around the energy dissipative portions, around a perimeter of the tool, and over the first layer, the non-cured fluid selected to form a bottom layer of the floor mat to face a floor on which the mat is disposed in use; (e) placing the lid on the base of the tool and curing the bottom layer; (f) removing the floor mat assembly from the tool.
