Simulated mechanic's creeper and oil and grease drip catching mat

Abstract

A method of simulating a creeper for mechanics servicing a vehicle spaced from a floor and for catching vehicle drippings provides a sheet of cellular material with a lower surface for contacting the floor therealong and with a parallel upper surface. That method and simulated creepers provide for a catching of vehicle drippings and avoid a need for creeper casters by coating the upper surface of that sheet with a dripping-impervious layer facing the vehicle having a lower surface friction than the cellular sheet at its lower surface so that a mechanic may slide along the surface of that layer while the lower surface remains stationary on the floor. An assembly of combined simulated creepers for mechanics servicing a vehicle spaced from a floor and mat for catching vehicle drippings comprises a display box and sheets of cellular material in that box each having a lower floor-contacting surface and having a parallel upper surface and on that upper surface a drip-impervious layer having a lower surface friction than the sheets at their lower surface.
