A no creep dust collection mat having a laminated rubber backing which has a plurality of spaced sections of hook accommodating material projecting therethrough to accommodate an attaching member which secures the mat in a relatively fixed position on a carpeted floor.

Dust collection mat and method of manufacture

A wet mop head construction and a method of making such construction comprising a pile fabric having an improved headband for attachment to the gripping elements of a wet mop tool and wherein the headband is comprised of a fabric material sewn about an end of the main body pile fabric portion with end portions of the headband extending from the pile fabric to partially cover and prevent the gripping elements of a mop tool from contacting a surface being treated by the mop head.

Wet mop head construction

A dust control mat having a pile fabric upper surface and a bottom calendered rubber stock sheet which employs an anti-tear strip located perpendicular to the grain or calendered direction of the rubber stock sheet between the rubber sheet and a latex backing on the pile fabric. A novel method is employed to produce the mat in which the reinforcing tear strip is located in position prior to vulcanizing the rubber stock sheet in an autoclave.
