Abstract (en)

A non-creep floor mat system for a tiled floor (10) comprises a floor mat (12) having in its back surface a recess bounded by a substantially rigid essentially perpendicular wall, and a detent designed to underlie the floor mat on a floor surface and having a shape and size similar to but slightly less extensive than the shape and side of the recess in the back surface of the mat. The detent is a tile (11A) designed to form part of the tiled floor but having a thickness significantly greater than the thickness of nearby tiles (11) on the tiled floor,, whereby the extra thickness of the tile detent enables it to fit into and interact with the recess in the floor mat back surface to restrict or prevent creep of the floor mat over the tiled floor.
