The present disclosure provides cover systems for covering components of a cabin interior of a vehicle, such as an automobile, a train car, a bus, a boat, or an aircraft, among others. For instance, the cover systems may cover one or more of a seat and a floor, among others, of the cabin interior. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb one or more of low-frequency sounds, such as low-frequency noise emitted by an engine, and high-frequency sounds, among others. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb odor molecules. The fabric covering systems may include multiple layers. For instance, one of the layers may include activated carbon fibers. The activated carbon fibers may absorb or partially absorb one or more of sounds, liquids, and odors, among others.

A method, system, and device for controlling internal systems within a vehicle based on user preferences is disclosed. The method includes detecting, by a floor mat, presence of a user seated on a seat within the vehicle. The method further includes capturing, by the floor mat, at least one user characteristic associated with the user in response to detecting presence of the user. The method includes controlling, by the floor mat, at least one internal system within the vehicle based on the at least one user characteristic, wherein the floor mat communicates with a central controller in the vehicle to control the at least one internal system.

A floor mat includes a first section, a second section, an interlocking feature and a snap fit feature. The first section includes a flap. The interlocking feature and the snap fit feature connect the flap of the first section with the second section.

A vehicle floor liner has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface includes a recess extending toward the top surface and a ridge extending away from the bottom surface and positioned around a periphery of the recess.

A floorboard storage compartment (100) may be placed on top of a floorboard basin (A) of an automobile to conceal contents (315) within an inner compartment (240) comprising a lower tray (105) and an upper tray (150).

The lower tray (105) comprises a lower tray bottom outer surface (110) which lies on top of the floorboard basin (A), a lower tray front side (115) which lies parallel to a lower portion of a firewall in front and above the floorboard basin (A), a lower tray front side bottom edge (120), a lower tray back edge (125) which extends to a passenger seat opposite the firewall, a lower tray left side (130) along a transmission hump, a lower tray left bottom edge (135), a lower tray right bottom edge (140), and a lower tray right side (145) which aligns with a door-jam alongside the floorboard basin (A).

The upper tray (150) comprises an upper tray front side (155) which may be affixed to the lower tray front side (115), an upper tray left side (165) which has a upper tray left edge (325), an upper tray right side (170) which has a upper tray left edge (330), upper tray outer surface (180), and an upper tray back edge.

A straight hinge line perpendicular to the upper tray left upper edge (165) and perpendicular to the upper tray right upper edge (170) allows a lifting portion (320) of the upper tray (150) to lift angularly above the lower tray (105) from along the straight hinge line (185).

Bordering the inner compartment (240) are a lower tray inner bottom surface (245), the lower tray front side (115), a lower tray left side inner surface (250), and a lower tray right side inner surface (255). An at least two separation supports (230) within the inner compartment (240) support and levelly separate the upper tray (150) above the lower tray inner bottom surface (245) between the lower tray front side bottom edge (120) and the lower tray back edge (125).

The inner compartment (240) may have one or more of a slip-mitigating surface (260), a vibration absorbing material (265), a matrix of padded squares arranged in a square grid pattern (270), and at least one affixable divider (275).

To conceal the inner compartment, the upper tray (150) may fit within the lower tray (105) such that the lower tray left upper edge (325) may extend above the upper tray left upper edge (335) and the lower tray r

A hand-trimmable vehicle floor mat has a footpad body and trim regions arranged around the footpad body. Each trim region can be detached by hand from the footpad body by a user without the user of any tools. The trim regions are separated from each other and from the footpad body by strip-shaped grooves. Each strip-shaped groove has a plurality of through holes that extend through the bottom of the strip-shaped grooves, the through holes sequentially arranged along an entire length of the strip-shaped grooves to provide perforated strip-shaped grooves. The plurality of trim regions can be torn away from the footpad body by hand and without the use of tools, the user applying a tearing force on the trim region to cause a tear along the strip-shaped groove.

A polyurethane elastomer, e.g., for use in polyurethane mats, includes the reaction product of an isocyanate component that includes at least one isocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component that includes (a) a first polyol component including from 40 wt % to 90 wt % of at least one polyether polyol having an average hydroxyl functionality that is greater than 2.5 and a number average molecular weight from 300 g/mol to 1,500 g/mol; (b) a second polyol component including from 2 wt % to 20 wt % of at least one ethylene oxide capped polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene polyol having an average hydroxyl functionality greater than 1.5 and less than 4.0, a number average molecular weight from 4,000 g/mol to 6,000 g/mol, and from 60% to 85% of a primary hydroxyl group content; and (c) a third polyol component including from 1 wt % to 20 wt % of at least one polyoxypropylene polyol having an average hydroxyl functionality greater than 1.5 and less than 4.0 and a number average molecular weight from 300 g/mol to 1,500 g/mol.

An access floor of a motor vehicle comprising a structural core made from injection-molded thermoplastic material, the core comprising at least one first part, the first part having a first face for receiving feet of passengers, defining a generally flat and horizontal surface, and a first rear face, defining a non-planar surface, wherein the first part comprises a network of contiguous cells defining a repetitive pattern extending along two axes, the cells being open on the reception and rear faces and delimited by partitions extending vertically, wherein two contiguous cells having at least one common portion of the partition, the core comprising an MFR fluidity in accordance with ISO 1133, greater than or equal to 50, the partitions have a thickness of between 0.6 and 1.6 mm, the thickness varying progressively so as to exhibit at least one undercut enabling the core to be removed from the mold.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which can comprise a pad. The pad comprises an array of light emitting diodes, wherein each light emitting diode of the array of light emitting diodes can be capable of being illuminated in a plurality of colors responsive to a signal from an information device. The information device is constructed to illuminate a predetermined set of the array of light emitting diodes to generate a pattern, which pattern can comprise alphanumeric characters.

A vehicle includes a metallic floor pan. A plurality of trim components defining a foot well is proximate the floor pan. A flooring component is coupled with the floor pan which includes a polymeric structural layer. An insulation layer is positioned on the structural layer. A sealing layer is coupled with the floor pan and extends to seal the insulation layer against the structural layer.
