Shock absorbing interlocking floor system

摘要

Interlocking panels have a top portion and side edges. Multiple panels are interlocked together mechanically along the side edges by locking features. The top portion includes a substantially planar top surface, side edges, and interlocking features. The bottom support structure is made of a shock absorption material that fits under the substantially planar top surface, thereby providing support and cushioning to the substantially planar top surface. The locking features include, for example, alternating upward/downward facing steps or key/key receivers to hold adjacent interlocking panels to each other.

主权项

1. An interlocking panel for a floor system base, the interlocking panel comprising:
a top portion having a substantially planar top surface and side surfaces, the side surfaces depending downward from the planar top surface forming a cavity in an underside of the substantially planar top surface, the top portion having means for interlocking on at least one of the side surfaces; a bottom support structure, the bottom support structure filling the cavity, thereby providing support and shock absorption to the substantially planar top surface.
