Abstract:
A mat unit includes a plurality of gaps defined by a first layer that are in open communication with gaps defined by a second layer so as to permit debris to fall entirely through both gaps to pass completely through the mat unit. The mat unit is part of an omnidirectional mat cleaning system that includes a first direction of travel above the mat unit extending through a door opening defined by a building structure. A different second direction of travel is above the mat unit extending through the door opening or another door opening defined by the building structure. The mat unit is installed on a floor adjacent the door opening. The mat unit cleans shoes regardless of the direction of travel traveled above the mat unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A mat unit comprising:\n four quadrants defined by an imaginary transverse line intersected with an imaginary longitudinal line, and the four quadrants including a first quadrant, a second quadrant, a third quadrant, and a fourth quadrant; an upper surface spanning the four quadrants; a lower surface spanning the four quadrants below the upper surface; a plurality of transversely extending ribs defining a portion of the upper surface in the first and third quadrants, wherein the plurality of transversely extending ribs define transversely extending gaps therebetween adapted to permit debris removed from a shoe to fall therethrough independent of the shoe's directional movements above the mat; a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs defining a portion of the lower surface in the first and third quadrants, wherein the plurality of longitudinally extending ribs define longitudinally extending gaps therebetween that are vertically aligned with the transversely extending gaps thereabove in the first and third quadrants to permit debris to move entirely through the mat; a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs defining a portion of the upper surface in the second and fourth quadrants, wherein the plurality of longitudinally extending ribs define longitudinally aligned gaps therebetween adapted to permit debris removed from a shoe to fall therethrough independent of the shoe's directional movements above the mat; and a plurality of transversely extending ribs defining a portion of the lower surface in the second and fourth quadrants, wherein the plurality of transversely extending ribs define transversely extending gaps therebetween that are vertically aligned with the longitudinally extending gaps thereabove in the second and fourth quadrants to permit debris to move therethrough entirely through the mat.
