Abstract:
A removable cargo liner for use in a cargo area. The removable cargo liner comprises a plurality of separate and distinct panels, wherein each of the plurality of panels has a multi-layer assembly having a lower layer defining one of a hook and a loop feature. The removable cargo liner further comprises a single-sided member connectable to the cargo area having one of a hook and a loop feature, and an optional double-sided intermediate member having a first portion and an opposing second portion.
Disclosed is a substrate for artificial turf that includes a base pad with a channel that extends across an upper surface of the pad and a tube that lies within the channel. The base pad has a generally flat lower surface and a generally flat upper surface that is spaced apart and oppositely disposed from the lower surface. The channel has a sidewall and a bottom surface, the sidewall extending from the upper surface of the base pad to the bottom surface of the channel and the bottom surface being spaced apart from the lower surface of the base pad. The tube has a sidewall defining an inner diameter surface and an outer diameter surface, with at least one aperture through the sidewall adjoining the inner diameter surface and the outer diameter surface. The channel and the tube are operable for liquid to flow through. In some instances, a radiant heating wire can extend across the upper surface of the base pad.
An interlocking substrate for artificial turf that includes a base pad having an interlocking tab-and-notch structure that is operable to lock one piece of the base pad to an adjacent piece of the base pad and including channels formed in the upper surface of the substrate to provide drainage and to carry heating and cooling tubes to regulate the temperature of the artificial turf.

Abstract:
A removable cargo liner for use in a vehicle cargo area. The removable cargo liner comprises an upper cargo liner layer being positionable in the cargo area of a vehicle and a lower layer being made of a dual purpose, nonwoven, needle punch fiber having a loop feature. The lower layer is fixedly coupled to the upper cargo liner layer. The lower layer provides a generally non-abrasive contact interface with the vehicle cargo area. An intermediate layer made of a compliant material is coupled between the upper cargo liner layer and the lower layer such that the coupling of the lower layer to the upper cargo liner layer is via the intermediate layer. A single-sided member is connectable to the cargo area defining a hook feature, such that the hook feature of the single-sided member is releasably coupled to the loop feature of the lower layer.
A removable, separable rug for the cargo area of a vehicle such as a pickup truck or a van comprises interattachable panels. The panels include a pair of side walls, a front wall, a back wall, and a floor. One or more of the panels may be selectively used at a time. The panels may be composed of a resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or a closed-cell polyethylene foam or may be a laminated, bi-layered pad comprising an upper layer of carpeting and a lower layer of resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or foam. Each of the panels is attached to the other panel by hook-and-loop fasteners or by zippers. The panels are removably attached to the vehicle cargo area by magnets, conventional fasteners such as screws, rivets, or snaps, or by hook-and-loop fasteners.
