ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the above recited objects, the automobile floor mat of the present invention is constructed of a single piece of flexible material which is basically of a uniform overall thickness into which sloping grooves or troughs are molded or cut for directing fluid dripping from the footwear of the driver or a passenger down into a collecting trough or sump at the rear of the mat where such fluid is drawn off into a closed storage tank which is connected to the floor mat by a leak-proof flexible tube connection which has quick-disconnect means for readily separating the storage tank from the mat proper so that the storage tank may be removed from the mat without disturbing the placement of the mat, and the storage tank then emptied for subsequent reconnection to and reuse with the floor mat.
