US 6,301,848 B1 · Garage floor covering with front and side panels

Abstract

A garage floor covering comprising a floor, a base, two stops, a trough, and front and side panels. The floor is fixedly and removably engaged to a base. The base is inclined having a first end higher than a second end. The base has a trough for carrying off water and an inclined ramp leading onto the base. The base is made of a honey-comb geometric structure to provide a lightweight base capable of supporting a vehicle. The trough accepts a standard hose attachment at an outside exit of the trough. The floor of the platform has a raised textured pattern to provide traction and to channel water flow toward the trough. Stops are fixedly and removably engaged to the floor so that the automobile will be prevented from driving off the platform or striking the wall of the garage. The wedges may be positioned to stop the vehicle at a desired position and the position of the wedges may be changed for different vehicles. Panels may be attached to the platform and to the walls of the garage so that the vehicle can be washed inside the garage.
