Container to hold a tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat

Abstract

A container for a tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat is disclosed. The container may include tabs to non-permanently secure a tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat. The container may be split into multiple sections for ease of use and transportation. A unique method of connecting the container sections together is also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mat-like container for a tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat comprising:
 a rectangular depression on the upper surface of the container configured to non-permanently hold a tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat.   
     
     
         2 . The container as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising one or more tab structures for holding the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat in place. 
     
     
         3 . The container as recited in  claim 2  wherein the one or more tab structures comprise a single strip-shaped tab along one edge of the rectangular depression. 
     
     
         4 . The container as recited in  claim 2  wherein the one or more tab structures comprise four triangular tabs located in each corner of the rectangular depression. 
     
     
         5 . The container as recited in  claim 2  wherein the one or more tab structures adhere to an adhesive side on an exposed and uppermost side of the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat. 
     
     
         6 . The container as recited in  claim 2  wherein the one or more tab structures have a tacky bottom to adhere to the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat. 
     
     
         7 . The container as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a non-slip bottom surface. 
     
     
         8 . The container as recited in  claim 1  comprises a material conducive for one or more adhesive potions of the bottom and out layer of the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat to adhere to the rectangular depression. 
     
     
         9 . The container as recited in  claim 1  comprising multiple sections. 
     
     
         10 . The container as recited in  claim 9  wherein the multiple sections comprise two same-sized sections. 
     
     
         11 . The container as recited in  claim 9  wherein the multiple sections comprise four sections. 
     
     
         12 . The container as recited in  claim 9  wherein the multiple sections join together securely, forming the depression on the upper surface of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The container as recited in  claim 9  wherein each of the multiple sections has one or more connector holes and one or more connector tubes to join the multiple sections together. 
     
     
         14 . The container as recited in  claim 13  wherein connector holes are located at a corner of each of the multiple sections and connector tubes are located at an opposite corner of each of the multiple sections. 
     
     
         15 . The container as recited in  claim 9  wherein one or more adhesive portions of the bottom and out layer of the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat to adhere to each of the multiple sections, non-permanently securing the multiple sections together. 
     
     
         16 . The container as recited in  claim 9  further comprising at least one tab structure on one of the multiple sections for holding the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat in place. 
     
     
         17 . The container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the tacky bottom of the multi-layer debris collector mat adheres to the container and provides additional structure to the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat and the container. 
     
     
         18 . The container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the depression is configured to non-permanently hold the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat such that a tacky upper and outer layer of the multi-layer debris collector mat may be removed exposing a similar layer underneath. 
     
     
         19 . The container as recited in  claim 1  wherein the depression is configured to non-permanently hold the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat such that the tacky, multi-layer debris collector mat may be replaced with another multi-layer debris collector mat.
