Removable floor covering

Abstract

Disclosed herein are demountable or removable floor coverings. The floor coverings have independent floor pieces that comprise a lower shock-absorbing layer and a resistant covering upper layer. The lower layer generally has equal recesses from its edges, where the recesses have a choked outlet. The independent floor pieces are joined together by means of intermediate joining elements which are tightly coupled in opposite recesses of adjacent independent floor pieces.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims the benefit of Spanish Patent Application Serial Number P200930095, filed 24 Apr. 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety as if fully set forth below.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The various embodiments of the present invention relate to a demountable or removable floor covering, and more specifically, to a covering of the kind made up of independent pieces and intermediate joining elements, which is placed dry on leveled floors, allowing an instant and clean laying, without using joining materials or producing debris.[0003]The covering of the invention is especially suitable for indoors, on leveled pavement, both on new work and on already existing pavement.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]There exist known floor coverings of the kind exposed, suitable for dry mounting. These coverings generally consist of wood pieces, which can have along their edges tongue and groove joints which secure th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The various embodiments of the present invention provide a floor covering, which can be dry laid and is easily mounted, engaging the constitutive pieces with the help of intermediate elements which secure its laying, without any risk of accidental uplifts, but enabling at all times to completely or partially dismount the covering. Besides, the covering of the invention offers a ceramic surface on which it is possible to walk, with high hardness and which can bear elastic and dynamic loads without any risk of being damaged.

[0016]The laying of the covering of the invention is carried out without generating any debris and without being necessary to carry out works, thus reducing installation costs. Thanks to its nature, the covering obtained is suitable for the maintenance of under-floor heating and installations that require inspection, since the tiles can be removed or lifted without altering contiguous ones.

[0018]The nature of the lower layer which forms part of the pieces or tiles that constitute the covering of the invention, made of elastic materials, offers excellent energy restitution, thus offering greater comfort.

Problems solved by technology

In any case, a wood covering is attained which can be unsuitable for many applications, as it cannot adequately bear static and dynamic loads without being damaged.

Besides, the coverings obtained with the pieces indicated prevent obtaining surfaces of another nature and are generally not conceived as demountable or removable coverings.
