Floor mat connector

Multiple components of a floor mat system may each be formed of a resilient material such as foamed polyurethane. First and second channels are formed in the respective lower surfaces of first and second mat components, so as to inwardly extend from lateral boundaries thereof. The roofs of the channels are spaced above the general lower surfaces of the mat components. A first socket is formed to upwardly extend from the roof of the first channel, and a second socket is formed to upwardly extend from the roof of a second channel. A connector is used to join the mat components. Posts of the connector are received in the sockets, while a strap joining the posts is received within the first and second channels.

Multiple-component floor mat system

A multi-part vehicle floor cover has a first part with a lateral edge and a second part with a lateral end that mates with the lateral edge of the first part and has a lap panel that extends from the lateral end to a lateral edge of the second part. A plurality of fastening systems join the first part to the lap panel of the second part. Each fastening system has a button, a first hole made in the first part and a second hole made in the second part. The top surface of the button is sloped, and the lower diameters of the holes are greater than the upper diameters thereof. The lap joint makes the manufacture of large floor covers by injection molding practical, while offering an effective method of assembly by the end user.

Cargo organizer

Board channels of a cargo organizer are defined by towers disposed at the rear margins of the organizer base and upstanding walls spaced forwardly from the towers. The upstanding walls are located rearwardly of a base plate adapted to be placed underneath an item of cargo to be contained. The board channels are formed at an angle to each other, such that each of several organizers may be disposed at respective vertices of a cargo restraining polygon. The organizer walls are joined to the base by inserting barbs disposed on the lower surface of the walls into respective barb receivers. Side margins of the barb receivers mate with side margins of recesses in the lower margin of the wall. Relieved areas formed in the front surface of the organizer wall mate with upstanding plates of the base.
