ABSTRACT:
A new oil drip mat apparatus for collecting oil which drips from motor vehicles and the like. The inventive device includes a base member having a planar bottom mat portion and a beveled rim fastened to the top surface of the mat portion to define a holding area. A plurality of layers of material are disposed within the holding area, with each layer performing a specific function. Two of the layers are a detergent mixture layer for absorbing and breaking down the oil, one of the layers is an animal hair layer for further absorbing oil, and one layer is a porous, stiff fibrous layer which allows passage of oil therethrough. The outermost layer is a u.v. resistant material which protects the underlying layers from the effects of the sun when the apparatus is used outdoors. If used indoors, the outermost layer is made of a porous, non-slip fabric material.
