    摘要: The present invention is a mat system, having two embodiments, each of which is capable of removing the dirt from the soles of mat users' shoes. The mats are comprised of a plurality of individual tiles (10) that interlock along complementary edge portions (20, 22). One embodiment of the mat system is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) mat that has a plurality of projections (40) that remove dirt. The second embodiment, also having a TPE structure and a lesser number of projections (40), features several carpet strips that provide additional dirt removal means. Once the individual tiles are connected, the outermost complementary edges may be covered by a plurality of border strips that provide an aesthetically pleasing and functionally necessary finished edge to the mat. The border strips are secured to one another by a mechanical clip that is also described.
