发明名称 Tensioned floor system
摘要 A play system floor includes a frame defining the periphery of an area to be floored and a webbed flooring constructed of a webbing material extending between the frame members. The webbing material has an optimal predetermined stretch coefficient at which it retains its resiliency, while resisting sagging. The webbed flooring is sized using the stretch coefficient whereby the dimensions of the webbed flooring when stretched substantially correspond to the dimensions of the area to be floored. The webbed flooring is stretched to the dimensions of the area to be floored and secured to the frame. The floor is stretched to the dimensions of the area to be floored by positioning a bar through loops on each side of the weaved flooring, and applying tension to each bar. The webbed flooring is secured to the frame by attaching each bar to the frame using clamps, bands, or other attaching devices. Tension to each bar is applied by operating a screw-actuated clamping member to tighten the bar against the frame. Alternatively, a first attachment bracket is attached to an end of each webbing material and is looped around the rigid frame. A second attachment bracket is attached to each webbing material near its end but laterally spaced from the frame toward the interior of the floor area. Tension is applied to the floor by a tensioning device extending through the brackets. A drive rivet is inserted thorough holes in the brackets to secure them together with the floor tensioned.
