The disclosure as detailed herein is in the technical field of Footwear accessories. The invention is a cushion that can be reversibly attached to a car's components. The advantage is that it is removable and easy to clean and provides a cushioned barrier to protect a person's heel/shoe and a car's components. The Shoe Protector Device allows a person to protect the heel of the person's shoe by forming a protective layer between the heel and floor board and/or floor mat. It also allows for protection from damage to the floor mats and/or floor board. It prevents uneven wear on shoes that may be expensive to fix. Because the Shoe Protector Device is removable, it is easy to clean in case of dirt or moisture accumulation. It provides cushioning for a person's heel to prevent pain or discomfort when driving long distances.

Kit and methods for collecting material in a vehicle are provided. A kit includes a collapsible receptacle fabricated from a hard material, a driver side fastener sized and configured to attach to the back of a driver side car seat, a front passenger side fastener sized and configured to attach to the back of a front passenger side car seat, an adjustable strap, and a floor mat. In use, the collapsible receptacle is releasably coupled to the floor mat and the strap is connected to the driver side fastener and the front passenger side fastener and secures the collapsible receptacle in place. After use, the collapsible receptacle can be detached from the floor mat and the material from the receptacle can be removed. When not in use, the receptacle can be collapsed to assume a stowed position.

According to the mat including an LED safety tripod for an automobile, since an LED module is disposed on a triangular safety plate, a driver approaching from behind can easily see the triangular safety plate even in overcast conditions and at night.

A vehicle trunk mat may include a first side and a second side. The second side is opposite the first side and includes a first surface having anti-slip characteristics. The vehicle trunk mat is shaped to cover a portion of a trunk cavity lower surface with the first side facing upward and sized for location upon a surface adjacent a vehicle tire mount location to assist in replacing a failed tire. The second side may further include indicia having tire change instructions thereupon. The second side may further include a reflector. The vehicle trunk mat may further include a foldable portion in which an upright configuration positions the reflector upright relative to an underlying surface. The second side may further include a second surface having soft characteristics to support a user thereupon.

A method for forming a scene into a floor mat or floor liner, comprising the steps of: receiving a digital image comprised of a plurality of pixels, each pixel having an initial pixel value and a relative position in the digital image; assigning either a first value or a second value to each pixel according to the initial pixel value of each pixel; creating a mold having a surface with a plurality of raised portions, wherein the relative shape, dimension, and position of each raised portion, with respect to each other raised portion, is defined by the relative position, within the digital image, of at least one pixel having the assigned first value.

An apparatus for cleaning a semi-rigid, three-dimensional vehicle mat can include a first set of compliant rollers spaced from one another and a second set of compliant rollers spaced from one another that cooperatively grab and advance the mat toward one or more brushes that scrub debris from above and/or below the mat. One or more of the compliant rollers can deform a distance radially toward an axis of rotation when contacting the mat to accommodate the contours of the mat and still grab the mat for advancing. The apparatus can include a holding pan that supports the mat so it is accessible through a second opening below the brushes and a first opening of a frame that supports the rollers and brushes. A deflector can be included to reroute the mat downstream of the brushes along a pathway toward the pan. A related method of use also is provided.

A multi-piece floor mat for a vehicle is provided. The floor mat includes a first section and a second section that are configured to assemble to one another to create a single floor mat assembly that spans across two or more floor regions of respective seating areas of the vehicle. The first section has a projection extending therefrom and entirely from a front edge to a rear edge thereof. The second section has a corresponding groove defined therein and extending entirely from a front edge to a rear edge thereof. The groove is configured to receive the projection to interlock the first and second floor mat sections. The projection may be provided with a stem and a bulbous head for additional securement.

An automobile floor mat is fashioned as a flexible mat having an upright portion and a base portion. A pair of straps are secured to the back side of the upright portion and capable of removable attachment to a foot pedal of the automobile. The surface of the base portion has a depressed region forming a small basin designed to capture water and soil from the automobile operator's shoes.

A non-slip floor mat for carpeted surface, typically of automobiles, comprising of bottom surface covered with embedded tiny prongs in random directional orientations, in the shape of uneven v, which are designed to be caught in the pile loop of the carpeted surface of the automobile and remain stuck and resist lateral movement when pressure from the top is exerted or simply by gravity.
