Vehicle foot well and floor tray system

1. A vehicle floor tray molded from a sheet of thermoplastic polymeric material of 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 and upwardly extending from the first lateral side of the floor;

a second wall integrally formed with the floor and the first wall and upwardly extending from the second lateral side of the floor, at least one of the first and second walls having a top margin, the top margin being at least five 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 channels molded into the general portion of the upper surface of the tray, bottoms of the channels being lower than the general portion of the upper surface of the tray but higher than the general surface of the reservoir portion, each channel having first and second sidewalls spaced apart by a bottom of the channel, the first and second sidewalls and bottom of the channel having a substantially uniform thickness; and

a plurality of longitudinally oriented baffles disposed in the reservoir portion and a plurality of transversely oriented baffles disposed baffles disposed in the reservoir portion which are joined to ones of the longitudinally disposed baffles, the channels acting to channel drip water to the reservoir portion, the baffles acting to impede lateral movement of the drip water occurring because of vehicle motion, the baffles being formed by third and fourth sidewalls standing up from the general surface of the reservoir portion and a web spaced from said general surface to join together the third and fourth sidewalls, the web and the third and fourth sidewalls being of substantially uniform thickness.

2. The vehicle floor tray of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle floor tray is designed to be removably installed in a driver's side foot well, the vehicle for which the floor tray is designed having accelerator and brake pedals operable by the driver's foot, a blank space formed in the general portion of the tray upper surface which is sized to accommodate the heel of the driver's right foot, the blank space not having any of said channels.

3. The vehicle floor tray of claim 2 , wherein the blank space is delimited by an arc of a circle.

4. The vehicle floor tray of claim 3 , wherein the radius of the circle is about four inches.

5. A removable vehicle floor tray which may be removably installed into a vehicle foot well, comprising:

a floor substantially occupying a horizontal plane; and

a plurality of sidewalls including a first longitudinally oriented upstanding sidewall extending from the floor to a top margin of the first sidewall and a second substantially transversely oriented upstanding sidewall extending from the floor to a top margin of the second sidewall, a third upstanding sidewall extending from the floor to a top margin of the third sidewall and conforming to a kick plate of the vehicle foot well, a fourth upstanding sidewall extending from the floor to a top margin of the fourth sidewall and conforming to a seat pedestal of the vehicle foot well, the first and second sidewalls joined at an angle to each other, the top margin of the fourth sidewall being continuous with the top margin of the first sidewall, the top margin of the first sidewall being continuous with a top margin of the second sidewall, the top margin of the second sidewall being continuous with the top margin of the third sidewall, all of said top margins being substantially located in an inclined plane which tilts forwardly and upwardly relative to said horizontal plane, the inclined plane being entirely vertically spaced from the floor, the floor being at least five inches below a nearest one of the top margins at the deepest part of the floor, the third and fourth upstanding sidewalls spaced apart by a substantially horizontal door sill plate of the tray.
