(57) A doormat or floor mat comprises a steel wire frame (10), a series of rubber or plastics
separators (12) each extending between two opposite parallel sides (10A) of the frame
(10), the two sides (10A) of the frame extending respectively through two end holes
(12A) of each separator (12), a series of wires (14) each extending parallel to the
two sides (10A) of the frame (10) through relatively small holes (12C) in the separators
(12). a series of spacer tubes (16) placed on each said wire (14), with one such spacer
tube (16) in between each adjacent pair of separators (12), to space the separators
(12) apart from each other, and a series of twisted-in fibre rods (18) each rotatably
extending, parallel to the two sides (10A) of the frame (10), through relatively large
holes (12B) in the separators (12), in between the wires (14) and spacer tubes (16). The mat is reversible, the underside being identical to the topside whichever way
up the mat is placed. The separators (12) are formed with ridges or studs (12D).
