Description
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT MAGNETIC SAFETY MAT The following statement is a full description of this invention;including the best method of performing it known to me.
a a 1 MAGNETIC SAFETY MAT This invention relates to improvements in devices that reduce the risk of slipping on certain surfaces such as roofs eg; colourbond, corrugated iron, trim deck etc, aswell as work platforms and staircases.
For many people, in many different trades trying to work or walk on a metal roof is extremely dangerous. The slips and falls stemming from these circumstances cause a number of injuries, ranging from minor cuts to permanent disabilities and sometimes death.
*ooo ooo* There is little if any safety devices on the market today, which can offer similar risk reduction characteristics as this safety mat device, whilst leaving the user free to move, and the only restriction being where the user places the mats.
The only other device I am aware of envolves a harness attatched to a inertia reel which clips onto a catanary wire or a hook. This has disadvantages in that the user feels restricted by the harness line, sometimes the user gets thrown off balance by the sudden jolt of the reel grabbing as they bend over to pick up tools etc, and at times the lines can get caught as the user makes they're way around the work area.
.These problems can be overcome and the risk of slipping and falling can be greatly reduced by the use of the present invention. This invention provides a non slip, surface that can be easily laid on the magneticly biased material, for example; corrugated iron and just as easily picked up and moved to another position or stored for later use.
ooo o 2 MAGNETIC SAFETY MAT In one form of the invention, the use of flexible magnetic strips or blocks, of variouse shapes and sizes are bonded or fused to the upper layer of the safety mat device, with a suitable waterproof and flexible bonding agent or contact adhesive or fusion process, This upper layer is made of a flexible or semi flexible non slip material for example rubber, latex, plastic, pv,c. or similar material, which has non slip properties for example; grooves, a moulded pattern or non slip particles impregnated there on. The mat may be flexible, semi ridgid or ridgid depending on the individual purpose.
In another form of the safety mat device, the same flexible upper layer is used as described in the previous form. Although this upper layer is bonded or fused to a flexible or semi flexible magnetic base,comprising a flat sheet of magnetic material, with a suitable waterproof and flexible bonding agent or contact adhesive or fusion process.The edges of the safety mat device are sealed by means of a pinchweld seam or similar process or an appropriate sealant or glue.The mat may be flexible, semi ridgid or ridgid depending on the individual purpose, *ooo In the final form of the safety mat device, the same flexible magnetic base is used as in the second description however, in this case a rubber or silicon type or p.v.c, type of flexible paint or coating is applied directly to the surface of the said magnetic base, This coating is either impregnated with non slip particles for example;plastic chips, sand or similar or has a non slip pattern moulded into the coating. The mat may be flexible, semi ridgid or ridgid depending on the individual purpose.
To assist with understanding the invention and its uses, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings which show several examples of the invention 3 MAGNETIC SAFETY
MAT
In drawing one of two, figure one, shows the underside view of one form of the safety mat device according to this invention.
In drawing one of two, figure two, shows the topside view of the same form of the safety mat device as shown in figure one according to this invention.
drawing two of two, shows one of the applications of the safety mat device on a corrugated iron roof.
Reference is made to drawing one fig one; Figure one shows the safety mat device in its underside view.It can be seen that the safety mat device according to this invention comprises of magnetic strips, A, spaced at intervals and bonded or fused to the underside of the upper layer, B,of the safety mat device.
Reference is made to drawing one fig two; Figure two shows the safety mat device in its topside view, again with the magnetic strips A2 bonded or fused to the underside of the upper layer B2. obviously the bonding agent can not be illustrated. It can be seen from this topside view that various patterns, grooves or impregnated particles C can be used to give the safety mat a gripping characteristic on the top of the safety mat devices surface.
Reference is made to drawing two; Drawing two shows the safety mat device in its operation,It can be seen that once the safety mat device D has been laid on the corrugated iron or colourbond roofE that the mat will conform to the corrugations. This allows the magnetic strips F on the underside of the safety mat device to make contact with the roof Once the magnetic strips of the safety mat device are in contact with the roof, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic strips of the safety mat device and the magneticly bias materials found in the roofing material hold firmly and are resistant to slipping by this magnetic attraction It will be realised that the safety mat device according to this invention is not restricted to the type of materials used for the upper layer of the mat, to the type of bonding agent or fusion used to attatch the magnetic base to the upper layer, or to the type of magnetic base used to provide the magnetic attraction
Claims (9)
1. A safety mat device comprising a non slip upper layer which is bonded or fused to a magnetic bottom layer with a suitable bonding agent or fusion process, so that the upper layer gives the user a safe work area or walk area, the bottom layer holds the safety mat device firmly in place through the magnetic attraction offered between the magnetic bottom layer and the surface it is applied to.
2. The safety mat device of claim 1 wherein the non slip upper layer is made of a material which has electrical insulating properties.
3. The safety mat device of claim 1 wherein the magnetic bottom layer is made up of a series of magnetic strips. .o
4. The safety mat device of claim 1 wherein the magnetic bottom layer is made up of one single sheet of magnetic material.
The safety mat device of claim 1 wherin the magnetic bottom layer is made up of various shapes and sizes of magnetic material.
6. The safety mat device of claims 1 through 5 wherein the upper layer is made of any suitable type of paint or coating or compound.
7. The safety mat device of claims 1 through 6 wherin the safety mat device is flexible, semi ridgid or ridgid.
8. The safety mat device of claims 1 through 7 whrein the safety mat device is in any shape or size or in sheet form or roll form.
9. A safety mat device substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings. APPLICANT; DARREN PHILLIP WHITEHURST DATE; 12 8 1999
