Bamboo or wooden sticks tied together into sheets for lining shelves and drawers

Abstract

A removable covering for a supporting surface. The preferred covering comprises a plurality of sticks arranged adjacent to each other to form a sheet and a plurality of binding strings linking the adjacent sticks together. A knot at the end of each string secures it to the sheet of sticks and an excess of the string beyond the knot provides a means for tying adjacent sheets of sticks together, forming a larger unified sheet of sticks for covering a supporting surface, and wherein the sheet of sticks can be rolled up or folded up for storage when not in use on the supporting surface.

1 . A removable covering for a supporting surface, said covering comprising 
 (a) a plurality of sticks arranged adjacent to each other to form a sheet; and    (b) a plurality of binding strings linking the adjacent sticks together, wherein a knot at the end of each string secures it to the sheet of sticks and an excess of the string beyond the knot provides a means for tying adjacent sheets of sticks together, forming a larger unified sheet of sticks for covering a supporting surface, and wherein the sheet of sticks can be rolled up or folded up for storage when not in use on the supporting surface.    
   
   
       2 . The covering as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said sticks comprise bamboo sticks.  
   
   
       3 . The covering as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said sticks comprise wood sticks.  
   
   
       4 . The covering as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said sticks comprise plastic sticks.  
   
   
       5 . A removable covering for a supporting surface, said covering comprising 
 (a) a plurality of sticks arranged adjacent and parallel to each other to form a sheet having a first stick and a last stick at respective extremities of the sticks;    (b) at least one slat arranged adjacent and parallel to each of said first stick and said last stick; and    (c) a plurality of binding strings linking said adjacent sticks and slats together, wherein a knot at the end of each string secures it to the sheet of sticks and slats wherein the sheet of sticks can be rolled up or folded up for storage or transport.    
   
   
       6 . The covering as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said sticks and slats comprise bamboo sticks and slats.  
   
   
       7 . The covering as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said sticks and slats comprise wood sticks and slats.  
   
   
       8 . The covering as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said sticks and slats comprise plastic sticks and slats.  
   
   
       9 . The covering as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein linking strings comprise an excess of the string beyond each slat that provides a means for tying adjacent sheets of sticks together, forming a larger unified sheet of sticks for covering a supporting surface.  
   
   
       10 . The covering as set forth in  claim 9 , further including: 
 a plurality of linking tabs attached to said linking strings;    a plurality of linking loops, wherein said a plurality linking strings are tied to form said loops, wherein said loops are configured to receive respective tabs from an adjacent covering, thereby forming a larger linked covering.    
   
   
       11 . A removable covering for a supporting surface, said covering comprising 
 (a) a plurality of sticks arranged adjacent and parallel to each other to form a sheet having a first stick and a last stick at respective extremities of the sticks; and    (b) at least one linking slat arranged adjacent and parallel to each of said first stick and said last stick, wherein each linking slat is configured with a slot and an extension, each slot configured to receive an extension of an adjacent covering, thereby linking the adjacent covering and forming a larger linked covering and, wherein the covering can be rolled up or folded up for storage or transport.    
   
   
       12 . The covering as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein said sticks and said linking slats comprise bamboo sticks and slats.  
   
   
       13 . The covering as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein said sticks and said linking slats comprise wood sticks and slats.  
   
   
       14 . The covering as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein said sticks and said linking slats comprise plastic sticks and slats.
