Surface-shielding system for using a hazardous apparatus
View Patent ↗A system for utilizing a hazardous apparatus with a pad of fibrous fabric embedded in cement to shield a protectable surface from hazards produced by the hazardous apparatus.
1. A surface-shielding hazardous apparatus utilization system comprising:
a) a protectable surface;
b) an apparatus producing hazard to the protectable surface; and
c) a hand-movable pad contacting and covering the protectable surface and underlying the apparatus, wherein the pad includes fibrous fabric embedded in cement.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad includes portland cement.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad is formed from a mixture of portland cement, microsilica, fine sand, water and water reducing plastisizer.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad includes a handle.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibrous fabric includes propylene.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibrous fabric includes a needle-punched non-woven material.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibrous fabric includes a three dimensional web of lofty, discreet fibers.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad is permeable to vapor and impermeable to liquids.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad includes a sand-blasted texture.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad includes a plurality of channels.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a combustion source.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hazard is selected from the group consisting of sparks, flames, grease and heat.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pad includes decorative corking.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the combustion source includes a cooking device.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the cooking device is a device selected from the group consisting of a grill, barbeque, hibachi and smoker.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the combustion source includes a candle.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the combustion source includes a citronella pot.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the combustion source includes a firepot.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the combustion source includes a fire starter.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the pad comprises a skirt.
21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the protectable surface is selected from the group consisting of a deck surface, patio surface, balcony surface, beach surface and grass surface.
22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the apparatus is selected from the group consisting of a grill, barbeque, hibachi and smoker.
23. A surface-shielding combustion source utilization system comprising:
a. a protectable surface;
b. a combustion source; and
c. a pad contacting and covering the protectable surface and between the combustion source, wherein the pad includes fibrous fabric embedded in cement.
24. The system of claim 23 , wherein the combustion source is an outdoor cooking apparatus.
25. The system of claim 24 , wherein the outdoor cooking apparatus is selected from the group consisting of a grill, barbeque, hibachi and smoker.
26. The system of claim 25 , wherein the protectable surface is selected from the group consisting of a deck surface, patio surface, and balcony surface.
27. The system of claim 23 , wherein the pad is hand-movable.
28. The system of claim 27 , wherein the combustion source produces a hazard to the protectable surface, said hazard selected from the group consisting of sparks, flames, heat, and grease.
29. The system of claim 28 , wherein the pad is permeable to vapor.
