VEHICLE FLOOR COVERING SYSTEM

A mobile vehicle has an interior occupant compartment, commonly called a cab when the vehicle is a truck, that has a floor ( 60 ) covered by respective floor coverings ( 12, 14 ) that have top surfaces opposite the floor. The coverings connect to each other along a joint ( 16 ) cooperatively defined by respective over- and under-lapping margins ( 42, 44 ) of the respective coverings. One of the margins ( 44 ) has two open receptacles ( 50, 52 ), and the other ( 42 ) has formations ( 46, 48 ) each fitted respectively in a respective open receptacle so as to locate the respective top surfaces of the coverings substantially flush with each other and in substantial mutual abutment along the joint. An expanse 42 A, 44 A that forms at least a portion of the respective top surface is disposed beyond and integrally formed with the respective margin. A foam pad ( 62, 64 ) underlies each expanse.
