ABSTRACT:
A floor mat system having a plurality of floor mats and a frame assembly. The floor mats are formed by a series of parallel spaced first ribs integrally formed with a series of parallel spaced second ribs forming rectangular openings therebetween. Certain of the second ribs include an enlarged bottom end which support the floor mat above the floor and form a drainage area beneath the floor mats. A frame assembly includes inner and outer frame members which extend between and around the floor mats, respectively. Each of the inner and outer frame members is formed with a seal receiving recess for optionally and selectively receiving a seal. The seals may be selectively inserted within the recesses to direct and disperse water beneath the floor mats. The floor mats are easily removed from within the frame assembly by lifting the floor mats from within the wells allowing the water and debris to be cleaned therefrom. A drain may be formed beneath one of the floor mats and the seals may be selectively inserted within the frame members to direct the water and debris toward the drain. The outer frame members have a ramped top surface to provide as smooth transition between the floor and the floor mat system. The frame assembly and floor mats are substantially the same height providing a substantially flat upper surface of the floor mat system.
