Abstract

An improved floor mat which may be readily folded 180.degree. upon itself. The mat includes a semi-rigid plastic surface with a transversely extending plastic strip laminated into its undersurface. The plastic strip is formed of material relatively more flexible than the overlying mat material. The mat is provided with a transverse slit overlying the laminated plastic strip which preferably extends downwardly to the upper surface of the plastic strip whereby the floor mat may be readily folded along the flexible plastic strip.
