Patent ID: 8722170

Claim:
A floor mat for a vehicle floor of the type having a floor mat retainer defining a fixed first vertical axis, the floor mat comprising an adapter portion, a mat portion, and a mat fastener; wherein the adapter portion comprises a planar panel disposed between the mat portion and the vehicle floor and having a primary receiver for engaging the adapter portion to the floor mat retainer, and a multitude of secondary receivers adapted to be selectably engaged by the mat fastener; the mat portion comprises a locator disposed inboard on the mat portion and engagable to a selected one of the adapter's secondary receivers by the mat fastener to define a selectable second vertical axis parallel to the fixed first vertical axis; the adapter is pivotable along a substantially horizontal plane about the fixed first vertical axis such that the selectable second vertical axis is pivotable about the fixed first pivot axis; and the mat portion is pivotable along a substantially horizontal plane about the selectable second vertical axis; whereby variation in the selection of the adapter's secondary receiver to which is engaged the mat portion and pivoting of the adaptor about the fixed first vertical axis enables variation of a transverse and longitudinal disposition of the mat portion relative to the vehicle floor, and rotation of the mat portion about the selectable second vertical axis enables variation of a rotational disposition of the mat portion relative to the vehicle floor.
