Threshold mat and floor protector

A mat for selectively covering a threshold of an opening and part of a floor near said threshold, said opening partly defined by a substantially vertical first side jamb and a substantially opposing second side jamb, wherein said mat comprises:

• a substantially planar mat body with upper and lower surfaces, wherein said mat body defines a perimeter edge having a first contour sized and shaped to at least partially engage said first side jamb and a second contour sized and shaped to at least partially engage said second side jamb;
• and
• one or more protrusions extending downwardly from at least a portion of said lower surface for engagement with said floor;
• at least one substantially rigid lateral protrusion extending outwardly from said first contour, wherein said at least one substantially rigid lateral protrusion extending outwardly from said first contour at least partially engages said first side jamb when said mat is positioned adjacent said threshold;
• and
• at least one substantially rigid lateral protrusion extending outwardly from said second contour, wherein said at least one substantially rigid lateral protrusion extending outwardly from said second contour at least partially engages said second side jamb when said mat is positioned adjacent said threshold, wherein
• said mat is adapted to snap into place between said first side jamb and said second side jamb.

A mat for selectively covering a threshold of an opening and part of a floor adjacent said threshold, said opening partly defined by a substantially vertical first side jamb and a substantially opposing second side jamb, each of said first and second side jambs having a substantially planar face, wherein said mat comprises:

• a substantially planar, substantially rectangular mat body with upper and lower surfaces, wherein:
• said mat body:
• is sized in length according to said threshold such that said mat covers substantially all of said threshold;
• comprises:
• a first edge sized and shaped to at least partially engage said first side jamb to resist movement of said mat body;
• a second edge sized and shaped to at least partially engage said second side jamb to resist movement of said mat body, wherein said first edge and said second edge each comprise at least one substantially rigid lateral protrusion extending outwardly to resist the movement of said mat body relative to said threshold;
• at least a portion of said upper surface comprises a rough surface;
• said first side jamb includes a first non-planar feature, and wherein said first edge defines a first cutout sized and shaped to at least partially match a contour of said first non-planar feature;
• said second side jamb includes a second non-planar feature, and wherein said second edge defines a second cutout sized and shaped to at least partially match said second non-planar feature;
• said opening is partly defined by a wall adjacent said opening;
• and
• at least one of said first and second cutouts for at least partially engaging said wall, wherein said lower surface comprises a plurality protrusions extending downwardly from at least a portion of said lower surface for engagement with said floor, wherein said plurality of protrusions are selected from a group consisting of:
• an array of pegs;
• an array of projections arranged at an angle with respect to each nearest projection;
• and
• a series of ridges and grooves disposed alternatively to form a corrugation.
