First Claim
1. A vehicle floor mat, comprising:
- a containment portion having a top, a bottom, a length extending in a longitudinal direction and width extending in a lateral direction;
a high border generally surrounding the containment portion along the top thereof, the high border having an upper surface that is offset from the containment portion in a vertical direction for segregating liquid in the containment portion;
a base rim generally surrounding the containment portion along the bottom thereof, the base rim having a lower surface for engaging a vehicle floor; and
at least one flexible peripheral portion adjoining the containment portion, the at least one flexible peripheral portion having a bottom surface that is offset from the lower surface of the base rim in the vertical direction.

Abstract
A vehicle floor mat includes a containment portion, a high border generally surrounding the containment portion along the top thereof, and a base rim generally surrounding the containment portion along the bottom thereof. At least one flexible peripheral portion adjoins the containment portion. The flexible peripheral portion may have a bottom surface that is offset from a lower surface of the base rim to define an offset dimension. The base rim may include an outer side wall that extends upwardly from the lower surface to the bottom surface of the flexible peripheral portion. The flexible peripheral portion may be arranged inclined upwardly at an acute angle relative to a plane defined by the lower surface of the base rim.
