<p num="1"><br/><br/> ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE<br/><br/><br/> A cushioning pad or mat for protecting the human foot and<br/>body while walking or standing is provided. The mat is formed<br/>of an upper laminate of material having moisture-absorbant<br/>characteristic; an intermediate laminate having an upper and<br/>lower surface, the upper surface being bonded to the lower<br/>surface of the upper laminate, the intermediate laminate being<br/>resilient and permanently deformable over prolonged application<br/>of pressure; a lower cushioning pad having a base layer having an<br/>upper and lower surface, the upper surface of the base layer<br/>being bonded to the lower surface of the intermediate layer; and<br/>a plurality of generally spaced-apart longitudinally and<br/>transversely extending ribs extending from the lower surface of<br/>the base defining a plurality of cells, the ribs having memory to<br/>return to the original shape upon removal of deformation forces<br/>and being resilient to flex and deform under application of<br/>pressure to cushion shock, and the ribs also defining first air<br/>passageways placing the cells in communication with one another.<br/> The laminate and pad define second air passageways at selected<br/>locations whereby air flow is induced through the mat and between<br/>the cells as the mat is flexed.<br/><br/> |
