Abstract
The present disclosure provides a layered structure including a top layer, a bottom layer, and a grip component disposed between the two layers such that columns from the grip component extend at least partially through openings in the top layer and/or bottom layer. Also provided are mats including the layered structure such that different grip characteristics are provided on the ends of the mat and/or the two sides of the mat by varying one or more characteristics or components of the layered structure.
Claims26
A mat, comprising:
- a first layered structure including a first characteristic, said first layered structure located at least partially within a first end section of the mat, the first layered structure including a plurality of first columns, and a plurality of second columns;
- and
- a second layered structure including a second characteristic different than said first characteristic, said second layered structure located at least partially within a second end section of the mat, the second layered structure including a plurality of first columns, and a plurality of second columns
- wherein each of the first layered structure and the second layered structure comprise a top layer with a plurality of first openings, and a bottom layer with a plurality of second openings,
- wherein the plurality of first columns are configured to translate into the plurality of first openings and the plurality of second columns are configured to translate into the plurality of second openings.

A mat, comprising:
- a first layered structure including a top layer with a plurality of top openings, a bottom layer with a plurality of bottom openings, a top grip component including a plurality of top columns that extend at least partially through at least one of the plurality of top openings, and a bottom grip component including a plurality of bottom columns that extend at least partially through at least one of the plurality of bottom openings, said first layered structure located within a first end section of the mat;
- and
- a second layered structure including a second top layer with a plurality of second top openings, a second bottom layer with a plurality of second bottom openings, a second top grip component including a plurality of second top columns that extend at least partially through at least one of the plurality of second top openings, and a second bottom grip component including a plurality of second bottom columns that extend at least partially through at least one of the plurality of second bottom openings, said second layered structure located within a second end section of the mat,
- wherein the plurality of bottom columns are configured to translate within the at least one of the plurality of bottom openings, and
- wherein the plurality of second bottom columns are configured to translate within the at least one of the plurality of second bottom openings.
