MAT, MOULDED STRIP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH A MAT AND SUCH A STRIP

摘要

A substantially rectangular mat comprises an upper layer of fabric (31) bonded to a lower backing layer of natural or synthetic rubber (32). The lower backing layer (32) extends beyond the upper fabric layer to form a border strip (33) at first and second opposite edges (43, 44) of the mat. The lower backing layer (32) ends flush with the upper fabric layer at third and fourth opposite edges (41, 42) of the mat. Each of the third and fourth edges is provided with a moulded strip (15) of synthetic or natural rubber attached to the lower backing layer (32) to form a border strip. The moulded strip (15) comprises an elongated member of uniform cross-section, having a thick web portion (16) and an adjacent thin web portion (17) to form a generally L-shaped cross-section. There is further described a method of manufacturing said moulded strip (15).
