Abstract: A mat assembly is provided for absorbing liquid, such as oil, that may be spilled near a machine or automotive vehicle. The mat assembly includes a mat with at least an upper layer formed from a woven or non-woven array of fibers. The mat assembly further includes a frame formed from strips that can be cut to match the periphery of the mat. Each strip has a bottom surface with an attachment tape that can be engaged releasably with the woven or non-woven fibers of the mat. The restraining strip may include an array of resilient hooked filaments that can engage the fibers of the mat. The strips hold the mat in a planar orientation. However, the strips can be separated from the mat easily when the mat has become saturated. The mat then can be discarded and replaced with a new mat, and the same strips can be fixed to the upper surface of the new mat.

Abstract translation: 提供垫组件用于吸收可能在机器或机动车辆附近溢出的液体，例如油。 垫组件包括至少由织物或非编织纤维阵列形成的上层的垫。 垫组件还包括由条形成的框架，该框架可以被切割成与垫的周边相匹配。 每个条具有底表面，其具有附接带，其可以与垫的织造或非织造纤维可释放地接合。 约束带可以包括能够接合垫的纤维的弹性钩状丝的阵列。 条带以平坦的方向固定垫子。 然而，当垫已饱和时，条可以容易地与垫分离。 然后可以丢弃垫子并用新的垫子代替，并且将相同的条带固定到新垫子的上表面。
