Abstract: The apparatus includes two side members each having a plurality of spaced apart slats formed on its inner side with adjacent slats forming a slot. The side members have upper edges which slant upward and rearward from the upper ends of their front edges. Each rearward of an adjacent slat has its top and bottom edges located at a level above the top and bottom edges respectively of the adjacent slat. The side members are supported such that their slats face each other and are spaced from each other to form a flooring sample receiving space. A floor is coupled between the two side members at the bottom edges of the slats. Each slot of one side member is aligned with a slot of the other side member to form a plurality of pairs of slots with each pair of slots and the floor being adapted to support a flooring sample. Each of the side members and its slats are formed as an integral member molded from plastic material. The floor is formed of plastic and has an upper side with a plurality of spaced apart ridges for engaging the edges of the samples. A plurality of sockets are molded to each side member for receiving a plurality of connecting members for connecting the two side members together and for supporting the floor.

Abstract translation: 该装置包括两个侧构件，每个侧构件在其内侧上形成有多个间隔开的板条，相邻板条形成槽。 侧构件具有从其前边缘的上端向上和向后倾斜的上边缘。 相邻板条的每个后部具有其顶部和底部边缘分别位于相邻板条的顶部和底部边缘的上方。 侧构件被支撑成使得它们的板条彼此面对并且彼此间隔开以形成地板样品接收空间。 地板在板条的底部边缘处连接在两个侧部构件之间。 一个侧构件的每个槽与另一侧构件的槽对准以形成多对具有每对槽的槽，并且地板适于支撑地板样品。 每个侧构件和其板条形成为由塑料材料模制的整体构件。 该地板由塑料制成，并具有上侧，多个间隔开的脊用于接合样品的边缘。 多个插座被模制到每个侧构件上，用于容纳用于将两个侧构件连接在一起并用于支撑地板的多个连接构件。
