Abstract:
An advanced floor mat (100) is disclosed. In an embodiment of the present invention, the floor mat includes a cleanable portion (300). The floor mat may also include a water dissipation component (230), a water absorbing component (420), a cushioning component (240), customized graphics (300), a transparent cleanable portion, a tacky surface (301, 302, 303) on the cleanable portion, an antibacterial composition (100), an antifungal composition (100), and a fragrance (100). The cleanable portion may be erodible and may include a plurality of cleanable reusable layers. If a tacky surface is included in the floor mat, an anti-slip feature may be associated with the tacky surface to help prevent slipping on a possibly wet tacky surface. Additionally, a sensor system (700) may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying when the floor mat may require cleaning.

An advanced floor mat is disclosed. In an embodiment (Fig. 40) of the present invention, the floor mat includes a cleanable portion. The floor mat may also include a water dissipation component, a water absorbing component, a cushioning component, customized graphics, a transparent cleanable portion, a tacky surface on the cleanable portion, an antibacterial composition, an antifungal composition, and a fragrance. The cleanable portion may be erodible and may include a plurality of cleanable reusable layers. If a tacky surface is included in the floor mat, an anti-slip feature may be associated with the tacky surface to help prevent slipping on a possibly wet tacky surface. The tacky surface may be comprised of a material that has an inherent anti-slip capability when wet. Additionally, a sensor system may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying when the floor mat may require cleaning.

If a tacky surface is included in the floor mat, an anti-slip feature may be associated with the tacky surface to help prevent slipping on a possibly wet tacky surface. The tacky surface may comprise a material with a dual chemistry such that the tacky surface is tacky both when dry and when wet. Additionally, a sensor (700) system may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying when the floor mat may require cleaning.
