Abstract

A temporary, one piece floor cover, or drop cloth, is disclosed. Wherein this single piece floor cover has been made to pass through a doorway, cover the immediate working area of both sides of a doorway, and do so while laying flat, eliminating bunching, and facilitating door operation; in a most efficient manner. A unique section of this floor covering offers this ability as well as the ability to accommodate a variety of door or doorway widths, when attempting to protect the permanent flooring of this specific area from any potential spills, stains, or general traffic and debris; consistently and efficiently.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A temporary, single-piece floor cover has been made to lay flat while passing through a doorway and cover and protect the immediate areas on both sides of a doorway, its door, casing and trim, 
 by possessing a section that has been made more narrow, or less wide, than that of the rest of the floor cover, and more specifically, narrow enough to allow this section to sit or pass through the actual doorway or threshold without the material bunching up, in turn, providing a most efficient means of protecting the permanent flooring of the area in and around a doorway, from potential spills, stains, or general traffic and debris, whereby the facility of the door is inherently maximized.    
   
   
       2 . The single-piece floor cover possessing the characteristic of having a section more narrow than that of the rest of the article mentioned in  claim 1 , wherein incorporated within this narrow section are extensions of material, or foldable “flaps”, that supplementary determine this section's width, and by doing so, this [narrow] section of the floor cover will have an adjustable or varying width, allowing it to accommodate most all doorways, despite any variance in door or threshold widths.
