Abstract: An outdoor deck surface unit comprising a substrate support member and a plurality of separate boards, with the plurality of boards being unitized by being secured to the substrate in a desired pattern. The deck surface unit is sufficiently large that an entire deck surface is created relatively quickly, but being sufficiently small that a deck surface unit is capable of being readily lifted, moved, placed and handled by a single individual. The substrate support member comprises plastic coated polyester and is stapled to the separate boards.

Abstract: A clip for securing a board to a support member. The clip includes a body defining an aperture therethrough and a tab projecting from the body. The tab advantageously has a first position wherein the tab inner surface is disposed at a first angle to the body inner surface. In this embodiment the tab is elastically movable to a second position wherein the tab inner surface is disposed at a second angle to the body inner surface that is less than the first angle. In some embodiments the clip is adapted for use with boards having opposing, longitudinally extending protruding and inset sides. The clip is disposed over the protruding side and an elongated fastener is disposed through the clip and the protruding side and into the support member. The inset side of a second board adjacent the secured protruding side can be biased toward the support member by contact of that side with the clip tab.

Abstract: The tapered dovetail joint is a method of joining two boards, or other rigid materials such as particleboard, wafer board, etc., by a unique type of modified dovetail joint. The modification to the classic dovetail joint includes tapering the dovetail pins as well as the dovetail tails with the same angle of taper in the same direction. The mating of this tapered dovetail joint will be greatly facilitated due to these corresponding tapers. The tapered nature of this joint minimizes difficulties in assembly due to the wedging action that takes place as the two boards are brought into union to create the joint. This wedging action allows the joint to be assembled even when there is moderate damage to the tails or pins including swelling—due to moisture, from the time of manufacture to time of assembly, impact damage, as well as minor manufacturing tolerance deficiencies in cutting of the pins and tails.

Abstract: A spline, tongue, connector, or snap connector is described and useful for connecting a variety of surface covering products together. In one embodiment the spline is a polymeric material having an elongated shape and dimensions such that the spline has a sufficient width to fit into and extend outside of a groove in a side edge of a first plank and to fit into a respective groove in a side edge of a second plank. The spline may be concealed from view when the first plank and the second plank are connected together by the spline. A surface covering system for connecting two or more planks together is also described as well as methods to connect two or more planks together using the splines of the present invention. The system can include a spline having a length that differs from the length of one or more of the planks.
