Floor mat system

A floor mat system adapted to lie on a floor, said system including:

• a mat adapted to lie on the floor;
• a frame assembly adapted to lie on the floor and positioned adjacent to the mat, the frame assembly having an outer frame member and at least one inner frame member;
• a seal receiving recess formed in the frame assembly;
• the seal receiving recess being formed in a bottom of at least one of the outer frame member and the inner frame member;
• the seal receiving recess being generally U-shaped;
• the seal receiving recess being formed along the entire length of one of the inner frame members and outer frame members;
• the seal receiving recess further including a front section spaced from and parallel to the U-shaped section and a middle section extending between and connecting the front section and the U-shaped section;
• and
• the seal being a generally flat member having first and second sides and a middle portion extending therebetween;
• in which said first side is positioned within the U-shaped section of the seal receiving recess;
• in which said second side is positioned within the front section of the seal receiving recess;
• and in which said middle portion is positioned within the middle section of the seal receiving recess.

A floor may system adapted to lie on a floor, said system including;

• a mat adapted to lie on the floor;
• a frame assembly adapted to lie on the floor, said frame assembly surrounding at least the perimeter of said mat whereby the mat is moveably positioned within the frame assembly;
• said frame assembly having a seal receiving recess formed in the bottom surface of said frame assembly, said seal receiving recess surrounding the perimeter of said mat;
• and
• a seal positioned within said seal receiving recess, said seal forming a seal between said frame assembly and floor to prevent the flow of water under the frame assembly.

A floor mat system adapted to lie on a floor, said system comprising:

• a frame assembly adapted to lie on the floor;
• said frame assembly including an outer frame member that forms the perimeter of the system and at least one inner frame member, said inner frame member cooperating with said outer frame member to form at least two wells;
• said inner frame member providing selective fluid communication between said wells under said inner frame member such that liquid in one of said wells may selectively flow under said inner frame member into said other well;
• and
• a mat adapted to lie on the floor and removably disposed in each of said wells, each of said mats having a plurality of openings that permit liquid to pass through said mat into said well whereby the mat is moveably positioned within the frame assembly.

A floor mat system adapted to lie on a floor and adapted to be used in cooperation with a seal between the floor and at least a portion of said floor mat system, said system including:

• a mat adapted to lie on the floor;
• a plurality of end pieces and side pieces joined to form a frame assembly adapted to lay on the floor and surround at least the perimeter of the mat to form at least one well that receives the mat whereby the mat is moveably positioned within the frame assembly;
• said frame assembly including at least one outer frame member and at least one inner frame member;
• said outer frame members having an angled top surface, said top surface being angled downwardly from the mat towards the floor;
• and
• a seal receiving recess formed in the frame assembly which is adapted to receive the seal therein that forms a liquid-tight barrier between the frame assembly and the floor to seal the well and prevent liquid from leaking out of the well under said frame assembly.
