Abstract:
A floor covering system comprising plastic tiles (2) provided with coupling parts made of lower receiver openings (12) for separate connector members (18), which render the tiles easily joinable and separable and are resistant to high separation forces. To the system may belong smaller modular tiles (32), which make it possible to lay out the flooring with integrated markings of lines, letters, figures or symbols provided in a durable and light fast manner with the use of small tiles cast with a deviating colour.
Abstract:
An underlayment layer is configured to support an artificial turf assembly. The underlayment layer comprises a core with a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a plurality of spaced apart, upwardly oriented projections that define channels suitable for water flow along the top side of the core when the underlayment layer is positioned beneath an overlying artificial turf assembly.
Abstract:
A material that is elastic and cut/puncture resistant, for use in garments. Said material contains a plurality of protective elements (38), at least one elastic base layer (36), and minimal connective area (42) or no connective area (see Fig. 14a) between the protective element(s) (38) and the elastic base (36) layer(s). The attachment can be point attachment (42), or attachment of layers of elastic materials to form pockets (108) to capture the protective elements. The protective elements can be flexible (Fig. 3a) or (semi) rigid (82).
Abstract:
A cane and a method for using same where the cane has a base having at least one wheel, a substantially vertical member connected to the base, a brake within the vertical member, the brake including at least one actuator and a brake pad and a hand grip proximate the actuator wherein the brake is engageable by the application of a substantially downward force from a user's hand while the user's hand is on the hand grip and a method for using same. A cane and a method for using same wherein the cane has a substantially vertical member, a base attached to the substantially vertical member with at least three legs and a first tread proximate the substantially vertical member, a second tread moveably connected to the first tread, the second tread having at least one leg and being moveable from a retracted position to an extended position.

Abstract:
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Schutzabdeckung für den Arbeitsbereich einer Werkzeugmaschine, bestehend aus einer Vielzahl von rahmenförmigen Segmenten (9, 10, 11, 19), die ineinander begrenzt verschiebbar angeordnet sind und an mindestens einem Rand je einen Dichtungsstreifen (4) aufweisen, und mehreren als Scherengitter (A - D) ausgebildeten Verbindungselementen, welche die rahmenförmigen Segmente miteinander verbinden, wobei die Gelenkzapfen (30) der Scherengitter jeweils an einem rückwärtigem Schenkel (13, 14, 15) je eines Segments befestigt sind. Zum vereinfachten Ein- und Abbau der Schutzabdeckung sind die Scherengitter (A - D) lösbar an den rahmenförmigen Segmenten (9, 10, 11, 18) befestigt.
Abstract:
A floor surface is described which involves a plurality of planks joined together using a 2-part adhesive system. Pre-applied adhesives on one or more floor panels are further described as well as methods of installing the floor panels to form a floor surface.
Abstract:
Seam strips (50) are provided in a textile covering for a floor, wall or ceiling which are exposed and afford an aesthetic surface treatment. The seam strips comprise inverted T-shaped strips with an upstanding web (52) terminating in a margin short of the pile height and a pair of flanges (54, 56) projecting laterally from each of the lower opposite sides of the web (52). The flanges (54, 56) have holes (60) for securing, by way of screws or nails, the strips (50) to the underlying floor, wall or ceiling. The adjacent edges of the textile covering are secured to the upper surfaces of the flanges (54, 56). The textile coverings preferably have the backstitches (14) of tufts and portions of the primary backing forming an exposed surface which, together with the exposed margin of the strips (50), form an aesthetically pleasing surface treatment.
Abstract:
An advanced floor mat (100) is disclosed. In an embodiment of the present invention, the floor mat includes a cleanable portion (300). The floor mat may also include a water dissipation component (230), a water absorbing component (420), a cushioning component (240), customized graphics (300), a transparent cleanable portion, a tacky surface (301, 302, 303) on the cleanable portion, an antibacterial composition (100), an antifungal composition (100), and a fragrance (100). The cleanable portion may be erodible and may include a plurality of cleanable reusable layers. If a tacky surface is included in the floor mat, an anti-slip feature may be associated with the tacky surface to help prevent slipping on a possibly wet tacky surface. The tacky surface may comprise a material with a dual chemistry such that the tacky surface is tacky both when dry and when wet. Additionally, a sensor (700) system may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying when the floor mat may require cleaning.
Abstract:
A composition for making a molded construction product, having one or more walls and an inner core section, including a composition matrix having a resin system, a catalytic agent, and filler compounds for forming the walls; a foam core system for forming the inner core section, a curing agent and a drying agent. The resin system is for providing mechanical and physical characteristics of hardness and rigidity to the exterior walls of the molded product, the resin system having a range of 5.00 % to 60.0 % by weight of the composition. The catalytic agent is for activating the reaction for the polymerization of the resin system, the catalytic agent having a range of 0.50 % to 30.00 T by weight of the composition. The filler compounds have a range of 5.0 % to 80.0 % by weight of the composition. The foam core system is for producing the inner core section having three-dimensional cross-linking and a core density of 3.5 pounds per cubic foot, the foam core system having a range of 5.0 % to 70.0 % by weight of the composition. The curing agent is for cross-linking of polymers within the resin system for forming the exterior walls to be hard, rigid, and infusible, the curing agent having a range of 10 ppm to 3.00 % by weight of the composition. The drying agent is for drying and binding of excessive moisture within the composition, the drying agent having a range of 10 ppm to 10.00 % by weight of the composition. A structural reinforcement support system is provided for reinforcing the structural integrity of the composition. A locking system is provided for joining one or more of the molded products.
