Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface covering product easy in installation, installable without an adhesive, and easy in repairing and replacement. SOLUTION: This article has a flat upper side surface part, a flat lower side surface part, a male type edge, and a female type edge. The male type edge and the female type edge are positioned on the opposite side of pieces of the article, and the two pieces can be joined along the male type edge and the female type edge. The respective male type edges and the respective female type edges have respectively a flat positioning surface, and these surfaces exist at the same distance from the flat upper side surface part. The male type edge has a rib including a surface forming an angle with the flat positioning surface, and has an upward-outward surface, and has a female type member being the flat positioning surface in one surface. The female type edge has a male type member being the flat positioning surface in one surface. The male type member is complemented with the female type member. The female type edge has a downward-outward surface complemented with the rib of the male type edge. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
A connector (20, 150, 220, 320) for connecting modular carpet tiles (41-44, 50, 61-64, 200, 214) each tile having an underside, the connector comprising: a. a film (22); b. a radio frequency transponder (322, 324, 326, 328) attached to the film (22); and c. an adhesive (24) on a side of the film, wherein the adhesive (24) is capable of forming a bond with the undersides of the tiles (41-44, 50, 61-64, 200, 214) so that, when the connector (20, 150, 220, 320) spans adjacent edges of adjacent tiles (41-44, 50, 61-64, 200, 214) so that the adhesive contacts the undersides of the adjacent tiles, the adhesive prevents relative movement between the adjacent tiles.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a floor member by which a laying position can be adjusted in the laying process avoiding the floor member being laid on a wrong place. SOLUTION: The floor member 1 includes a lower plate 20 which is in contact with a floor surface and an upper plate 10 laid on the lower plate 20. The upper plate 10 is laid on an upper surface of the lower plate 20 in a manner that the lower surface of the upper plate 10 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower plate 20 while forming a step. An adhesive agent 30 is applied onto the lower surface of the upper plate 10 and the upper surface of the lower plate 20 to form adhesive parts 11, 21. Part of the adhesive part 11 of the upper plate 10 is formed to be a non-adhesive treatment part where the adhesive agent 30 is not exposed by bonding a non-adhesive member 13.
