Floorboards with a mechanical locking system having a separately machined strip which is mechanically joined with the floorboard.

Floorboards with a mechanical locking system that allows movement between the floorboards when they are joined to form a floating floor.

A flooring system for use with floating floors is described which includes a glider bar having base portions including extending rails in the form of dovetail protrusions. The bases and rails are longitudinally moveable relative to anchoring plates, which anchoring plates are affixed to a subflooring. Flush finished floor moldings are slid longitudinally along the rails and are glued or mechanically fixed, at one side only, to the adjacent floating laminate flooring. By this assembly, smooth transitions between adjacent floating floors, or where floating floors meet another hard floor covering, or carpet, can be achieved. The system can also be used with flush stair nosing elements.

The invention relates to a system for laying and mechanically joining building panels, especially thin, hard, floating floors. Adjacent joint edges (3, 4) of two panels (1, 2) engage each other to provide a first mechanical connection locking the joint edges (3, 4) in a first direction (D1) perpendicular to the principal plane of the panels. In each joint, there is further provided a strip (6) which is integrated with one joint edge (3) and which projects behind the other joint edge (4). The strip (6) has an upwardly protruding locking element (8) engaging in a locking groove (14) in the rear side (16) of the other joint edge (4) to form a second mechanical connection locking the panels (1, 2) in a second direction (D2) parallel to the principal plane of the panels and at right angles to the joint. Both the first and the second mechanical connection allow mutual displacement of joined panels (1, 2) in the direction of the joint.

A floating floor assembled from an array of interconnected subunits, each of which includes a stone, ceramic or porcelain tile and a one-piece polymeric plastic substrate to which the stone, ceramic, or porcelain tile is bonded. Each substrate is injection molded from certain polyolefin polymers and incorporates the interlock structure and certain other features of the modular sports tiles of U.S. Pat. No. 4,930,286. The substrates of the present invention, however, differ in that each substrate incorporates a vertical stabilization system, the plastic support grid is formed by three sets of mutually intersecting walls, with each set being angularly offset from the other two by 120 degrees, and each substrate is sized to precisely fit a stone, ceramic or porcelain tile, which is accurately positioned by tile locator tabs on a pair of intersecting sides of the substrate.

The invention discloses a seawater endurable ecological floating floor, and relates to a plant growth carrier. The invention provides a seawater endurable ecological floating floor which is used for the plant restoration in an eutrophicated seawater environment, a floating floor fixing device and a plant restoration method in the eutrophicated seawater environment. The floating floor is provided with a floor body and cultured plants; the floor body is provided with two layers of plastic films; a foam bar is arranged between the two layers of plastic films; the foam bar is provided with culture holes; and fixing rings are arranged on the circumference of the two layers of plastic films. The fixing device is provided with fixing piles and fixing ropes; the fixing piles are fixed under water; and the fixing ropes are connected with the fixing piles. The restoration method comprises the following steps: preparing the floor body of the floating floor; driving the fixing piles under water and fixing one end of each fixing rope onto the fixing piles along the water flow direction; planting the salt endurable restoration plants into the culture holes through cuttage and transporting the plants to a restoration area; connecting the fixing rings and the fixing ropes, and adjusting the tightness of the fixing ropes so as to make the fixing ropes float up and down with the flux and reflux of the tide; and adjusting the salt endurable restoration plants according to the growth status and restoration effects of the salt endurable restoration plants.

The invention relates to a construction method of floating floor. The method is characterized by giving detailed description of room floating floor construction and quality control in rooms of high-level acoustic technology requirements, and controlling room acoustic technology requirements of rooms such as a studio, a recording room, a control room, a dubbing studio and a standard viewing room; for the floating floor, elastic damping cushion blocks are arranged on a structural layer, glass fiber is filled in the cushion blocks to absorb shock waves or sound waves, lumber-core boards is arranged on the elastic damping cushion blocks, a waterproof layer is made, steel bars are banded and concrete is poured and firmed by ramming to form a topping, and space between the two layers of structures is made overhead by the elastic damping cushion blocks, thus noise index requirements of transmitting vibration and sound outside the room to the acoustic technology room by the structures are achieved.

A floating floor system and a floor panel and method for use with the same that includes a snap-fit locking assembly that provides vertical locking between vadjacent floor panels to minimize and/or prevent ledging therebetween. In one embodiment, a protuberance and a recess are also provide on the floor panels to provide horizontal locking. The snap-fit locking assembly comprises: a locking member protruding from a first flange and comprising an undercut surface; and a locking slot formed In a second flange. The snap-fit locking assembly is configured so that when the locking member of a first one of the panels is disposed within the locking slot of a second one of the panels, the first and second panels are vertically locked together via mechanical interaction between the undercut surface of the locking member of the first panel and a locking surface of the second flange of the second panel

A floor panel and a floating floor system incorporating the floor panel include a floor panel having a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a visible decorative pattern. The bottom layer has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface of the bottom layer is adhered to the bottom surface of the top layer such that the bottom layer is offset from the top layer in a direction of length and width and a marginal end portion of the top surface of the bottom layer and a marginal end portion of the bottom surface of the top layer is exposed. At least one of the marginal end portions has an adhesive, and a ratio of a thickness of the top layer to a thickness of the bottom layer is about 5 or greater.
