Device for absorbing sound within the cabin of vehicle
First Claim
1. A sound absorbing mat for use within the interior compartment of a vehicle, comprising:
- a first polyurethane open cell polyester layer having a predefined contour, wherein the first polyurethane open cell polyester layer is at least one quarter of an inch thick, wherein the first polyurethane open cell polyester layer forms to the space of the interior compartment;
a polyvinyl chloride, wherein the polyvinyl chloride is applied to and fuses with the first polyurethane open cell polyester, wherein the polyvinyl chloride takes on the contour of the first polyurethane open cell polyester layer once hardened and is substantially a quarter of an inch thick;
a second polyurethane open cell polyester layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface has a predetermined contour and the top surface is substantially smooth, wherein the second polyurethane open cell polyester layer is at least three quarters of an inch thick and the bottom surface of the second polyurethane open cell polyester layer is fused with the polyvinyl chloride before it is hardened; and
a urethane layer having a grip surface, wherein the urethane layer is at least a quarter inch thick and is mated to the top surface of the second polyurethane open cell polyester layer.
