Abstract

An improved unit having a base and a plurality of teeth integral with the base and projecting outwardly therefrom. The teeth and base are formed of a suitable elastomeric material, such as natural rubber or urethane rubber. The teeth have conical outer surface and V-shaped notches or openings between adjacent teeth. The teeth have flat, angled surfaces. There are two rows of teeth on each base, respectively, and the teeth are aligned with each other front to back. The base is beveled so that each tooth will have maximum area at the root thereof.
