Thermoformed vehicle floor tray with tread-containing reservoir

A vehicle floor tray thermoformed from a sheet of thermoplastic polymeric material of substantially uniform thickness, comprising:

• a floor substantially conforming to a floor of a vehicle foot well, the floor having at least one longitudinally disposed lateral side and at least one transversely disposed lateral side;
• a first wall integrally formed with the floor, upwardly extending from the first lateral side of the floor, and substantially conforming to a first foot well wall, the first wall joined to the floor of the tray by a curved transition;
• a second wall integrally formed with the floor and the first wall, upwardly extending from the second lateral side of the floor, and substantially conforming to a second foot well wall, the second wall joined to the floor of the tray by a curved transition, at least one of the first and second walls having a top margin, the top margin being at least four inches higher than the floor at its greatest separation therefrom;
• the floor of the tray having an upper surface including a general portion and a reservoir portion, a general surface of the reservoir portion being lower than and surrounded by the general portion of the upper surface of the floor of the tray;
• a plurality of treads disposed in the reservoir portion, the treads standing up from the general surface of the reservoir portion, the general portion of the tray, the reservoir portion and the treads each having an upper surface and a lower surface, a thickness measured between the upper surface of the general portion, the reservoir portion or the treads and the closest point thereto on the lower surface of the general portion, reservoir portion or the treads being substantially uniform throughout the tray.
