Abstract:
A modular floor tile is disclosed having a top surface made of a plurality of rib members defining openings between the rib members. A plurality of edge surfaces defines a perimeter about the top surface and a support system is integrally formed with and disposed at least partially beneath the top surface. The support system is capable of maintaining the top surface elevated above a ground surface when a load is not placed on the top surface. The support system has a primary support member disposed within the openings between the rib members. The primary support member is operably connected to a plurality of arms extending laterally from the structural member to the primary support member and is capable of vertical movement within the opening when a load is applied to the top surface.
Abstract:
A prefabricated element (1) for floors or floor baseboards is described that comprises a rigid base (2) having an upper surface (3) and two opposed longitudinal lateral surfaces (5), said upper surface and lateral surfaces being covered by a layer (6) made of vinyl fabric. A modular floor tile (7) is also described that comprises a plurality of said prefabricated elements (1) mounted on a rigid support (8). The invention enables an outdoor decorated wood flooring with no need of maintenance to be realized.
Abstract:
A modular tile[100, 600] configured to interlock with multiple tiles to form a modular floor covering over a floor [101, 601]. The tile includes a surface [110, 610] having a periphery defining side walls extending downward from the surface [110, 610], the side walls [122, 622] having a coupling portion [124, 624] configured to couple with other tiles adjacent thereto to form the modular floor covering. The tile [100, 600] also includes a bottom side [112, 612], opposite the surface [110, 610], having a support grid including an array of downward extending post structures in the form of primary post structures [130]. Some of the post structures [130] include at least one resilient end portion [134] with a radial end surface [136] configured to be positioned against the floor [101. 601] to facilitate controlled deflection of the structures. The post structures may comprise primary and secondary post structures [630, 660], with the secondary post structures [660] limiting the deflection of the primary post structures [630].
Abstract:
A flooring system for use in a residential environment. The flooring system includes a subfloor adapted to support the mass of a user and modular surface covering elements for disposition in edge to edge covering arrangement across at least a portion of the subfloor. The modular surface covering elements include a pile fabric face with an arrangement of yarns projecting outwardly defining a pile layer for contact by a user. At least one layer of cushioning material is disposed in contacting relation at a position below the pile fabric face.

A flooring system for use in a residential environment. The flooring system includes a subfloor (111) adapted to support the mass of a user and modular surface covering elements (110D) for disposition in edge to edge covering arrangement across at least a portion of the subfloor (111). The modular surface covering elements (110D) include a pile fabric face (112) with an arrangement of yarns (121') projecting outwardly defining a pile layer for contact by a user. At least one layer of cushioning material (178) is disposed in contacting relation at a position below the pile fabric face (112).
Abstract:
Demountable floor covering consisting of independent pieces comprising a lower shock-absorbing layer (1) and a resistant covering upper layer (2). The lower layer (1) has equal recesses (4) from its edges, with a choked outlet (5). The independent pieces are joined together by means of intermediate joining elements (6) which are tightly coupled in opposite recesses (4) of consecutive pieces.
