MODULAR FLOOR TILE WITH RESILIENT SUPPORT MEMBERS

摘要

Modular floor tiles and modular floors are described herein. A modular floor tile may include a top surface layer, a plurality of edge surfaces, an interlocking mechanism for attachment to adjacent tiles, and a support system. The support system may additionally include a first rigid level and at least one resilient support member disposed under the top surface layer, the at least one resilient support member extending to a distance further from the top surface layer than the first rigid level. The at least one resilient support member may be compressible toward the top surface layer. A modular floor may include a plurality of interlocking tiles connected to one another. A method of forming a modular floor that includes an interlocking modular tile is also disclosed.

1. A floor tile system, comprising:
a floor surface comprising a plurality of tiles, each time comprising:
an upward facing surface;a plurality of first rigid supports defining a downward facing support surface;a plurality of resilient support members extending downward from the upward facing surface and being disposed entirely below the upward facing surface and extending below the downward facing support surface when in an uncompressed state, wherein the plurality of resilient support members are compressible against a support surface upon which the floor tile system rests to cushion the floor surface during use.
