Abstract:
Interlocking panels have a top portion and side edges. Multiple panels are interlocked together mechanically along the side edges by locking features. The top portion includes a substantially planar top surface, side edges, and interlocking features. The bottom support structure is made of a shock absorption material that fits under the substantially planar top surface, thereby providing support and cushioning to the substantially planar top surface. The interlocking feature includes, for example, sides alternating between sides that have protrusions (upward or downward) and sides that have receivers for the protrusions.
Abstract:
A plurality of at least two modular flooring tiles coupled together to form an upper surface defined by an outer perimeter is disclosed. A plurality of side walls extends downward from the outer perimeter and a plurality of coupling members are disposed about the side walls adapted to mate with coupling members of an adjacent flooring panel. A flexible continuous synthetic overlay is disposed about and secured to the upper surface of the at least two modular flooring tiles, wherein the synthetic overlay comprises an outer perimeter substantially similar to the outer perimeter of the at least two modular flooring tiles.
Abstract:
A multi-level unitary safety surface tile. The tile may be of monolithic construction. The tile may include rubber. The tile may include an upper level and a lower level. Hollow protrusions may extend between the levels. At least one protrusion may include resilient walls extending from the upper layer and converging to a protrusion bottom-cap in the lower level. Inter-protrusion ribs may span between and support adjacent protrusions. With the lower layer disposed upon an underlayer, the protrusions may support the upper level. The tile may attenuate impact forces incident upon the upper layer. The tile may constitute a unitary safety surface. The tile may include structures facilitating interlocking of adjoining tiles into a multi-tile unitary safety surface. Protrusion extensions and/or support ribs may support the structures. The tile may be manufactured in a one-piece molding process utilizing mold forms maintained parallel to opposable faces of a mold press.
Abstract:
A dismountable flooring block comprises a flooring block body, having a first mounting edge portion and a second mounting edge portion, the first mounting edge portion and the second mounting edge portion being thinner than the flooring block body and being laterally extended from the flooring block body. Two mounting members are respectively disposed on an upper surface of the first mounting edge portion and on a bottom surface of the second mounting edge portion, in which a mounting direction of the first mounting edge portion and a mounting direction of the second mounting edge portion are both parallel to an up-and-down direction of the flooring block body, thereby enabling the mounting member of the flooring block body to mount to a mounting member of another flooring block body.
Abstract:
A modular energy absorbing system sandwiched between an impact-receiving upper surface and a lower foundation. The energy absorbing system has one or more interconnected modules that cooperate to absorb and distribute impact forces applied thereto. Each module has one or more frustoconical support structures. At least some of the frustoconical support structures have bases that underlie the upper impact-receiving surface such as a football field or a basketball court.
Abstract:
A prefabricated element or floors or floor baseboards is described that includes a rigid base having an upper surface and two opposed longitudinal lateral surfaces, the upper surface and lateral surfaces being covered by a layer made of vinyl fabric. A modular floor tile is also described that includes a plurality of the prefabricated elements mounted on a rigid support. The invention enables an outdoor decorated wood flooring with no need of maintenance to be realized.
Abstract:
Modular floor tiles and modular floor systems are described herein. A floor tile system includes a modular floor tile and a plurality of resilient support assemblies. The modular floor tile includes a top surface layer having a top surface and a bottom surface and a plurality of rigid support portions extending from the bottom surface. The resilient support assemblies are supported against the bottom surface and include an outer resilient support portion having a hollow interior, and an inner resilient support portion positioned centrally relative to the outer resilient support portion.

Abstract:
Building panels provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge and a second edge of adjacent panels. The locking system includes a displaceable tongue at least partly arranged in a displacement groove, a tongue groove, a cavity provided in a strip at the first edge, and a protrusion extending downwards at the second edge. The displaceable tongue is arranged to be displaced at least partly into the tongue groove during locking, and wherein the protrusion is arranged to be located in least a portion of the cavity when the panels are locked vertically and horizontally.
