Embodiment Construction

[0023]According to the present invention, various views of the foldable and flexible laminated mat or pad of this invention are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, comprising medium density fiberboard laminated planks, these are laid in adjacency and a felt or sisal backing provides both the adherence of the planks in adjacency, and furnishes a backing for resting upon the floor, in addition to functioning as a living hinge when the mat or pad is to be rolled up, or folded, for storage or shipment. The details of the invention can be better understood by referring to FIG. 1. This is a perspective of the present pad or mat 100, and the pad is constructed including a plurality of elongated medium density fiberboard planks 102, arranged lengthwise in a side by side manner where the long side edge of each plank can be abutted against the adjacent long side edge of the adjacent planks. The abutting relationship between the planks can form a mat, as at 114....
