US 2021/0330110 A1 · RECONFIGURABLE ABSORPTION MAT

Abstract

Reconfigurable rapid drying absorption mats. Such reconfigurable absorption mats include multiple connectable, disconnectable, and reconfigurable diatomaceous earth absorption substrates that are both sustainable and designed to instantly remove water from the surface thereof. Unlike traditional synthetic and cotton textile mats that absorb moisture and generate bacteria, according to the rapid drying absorption mats disclosed herein the component diatomaceous earth substrates do not produce mold. Such diatomaceous earth absorption mat components can each include connectable and disconnectable rubberized bottom polymer pads or webbing to prevent slipping and enable for drying of each individual diatomaceous earth substrate from multiple surfaces and sides thereof.

Dependent claims

A reconfigurable absorption mat, comprising:

a first connectable absorption mat component, comprising:
a first rigid absorbent substrate including diatomaceous earth;
and
a first connectable polymer webbing configured for coupling the first connectable polymer webbing to an underside of the first rigid absorbent substrate;
a second connectable absorption mat component, comprising:
a second rigid absorbent substrate including diatomaceous earth;
and
a second connectable polymer webbing configured for coupling the second connectable polymer webbing to an underside of the first rigid absorbent substrate;
and
a connector for connecting the first connectable absorption mat component to the second connectable abruption mat component.

7 more elements

A reconfigurable absorption mat, comprising:

a plurality of substantially rectangular and/or substantially square connectable absorption mat components, each substantially rectangular and/or substantially square connectable absorption mat component comprising:
a substantially rectangular or substantially square absorbent substrate including diatomaceous earth;
and
a connectable polymer webbing configured to secure to an underside of the first rigid absorbent substrate;
and
a plurality of connectors configured to connect and disconnect different sides of plurality of substantially rectangular and/or substantially square connectable absorption mat components to reconfigure the shape of the reconfigurable absorption mat.
