Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modular solutions for covering floors, and in particular to modular entrance matting.
  • Entrance matting is known and has been used for a number of years. Such entrance matting is commonly made from a woven, wear-resistant, coarse plant fibre material, such as for example, coconut fibre.
  • a woven structure typically provides a base upon which an array of bristles pointing upwards may be located.
  • Such bristles typically can perform the task of removing dirt and excess moisture from the underside of shoe soles. Dirt and moisture removed in this way typically falls between the bristles, where it remains until it is beaten out of the entrance matting.
  • Large matting invariably also contains one or more locations which see more frequent use than other areas of said matting. In such circumstances, the effect of age and said additional use can become apparent on these areas much more quickly than other, less frequently used areas. This non-uniform rate of use across the whole matting can therefore greatly impact the visual appeal of said matting, requiring a complete replacement of the matting including areas which have not been affected by frequent use.
  • Some currently available solutions have been provided which use a plurality of smaller matting sections as part of a larger, modular matting product.
  • Some example solutions include sections of a mat, forming individual matting tiles which clip together to form a continuous larger mat.
  • the tiles often clip together using a connecting or interlocking means.
  • the means for connecting or interlocking the tiles are often separate from the tiles themselves, and wear at a different rate to the tiles. As such, these connecting or interlocking means are often a point of weakness for said tiles. Said means can also make it difficult to remove, replace and rearrange individual tiles and as such additional effort is required for maintaining and/or repairing the matting.
  • WO 2017/066535 A1 discloses a flooring system comprised of a plurality of washable, multicomponent floor mats.
  • the floor mats contain a textile component and a base component.
  • an entrance matting solution be provided which overcomes the disadvantages of currently available solutions, and preferably provides a simpler, more creative and elegant solution which is easier to maintain and more robust to wear and tear.
  • the present invention provides a rigid floor covering apparatus that can be used alongside other such apparatuses in a modular fashion, such that the floor covering apparatuses tesselate, preferably give multiple possible design permutations, and are preferably robust to suit multi-directional traffic, rather than being restricted to a simple linear pattern of currently available solutions.
  • the present invention preferably opens up a huge potential for creativity in design for entrances, while critically comprising a rigid raised edging around each base for durability and quality.
  • the edge portion is located about the perimeter, defining a well having a well depth equal to said depth.
  • the edge portion is continuous about the perimeter of the base.
  • the edge portion preferably extends perpendicular to the base. More preferably, the edge portion cooperates with the base to form a well.
  • the well is arranged to accommodate a mat.
  • the floor covering apparatus further comprises a mat adjacent the upper face of the base and the edge portion, the mat comprising a cleaning material.
  • the mat is preferably arranged to clean the underside of shoe soles as said soles interact with the mat during the course of normal walking.
  • the cleaning material comprises one selected from the group: a fibrous material; a woven material; bristled material; rubber; nylon. In embodiments comprising rubber, the rubber preferably comprises a textured surface.
  • the mat comprises an absorptive material.
  • the mat comprises a compressive material.
  • the apparatus of the present invention comprises a mat arranged to provide a compressive feel underfoot.
  • cleaning material will be understood by the skilled addressee in the context of matting used for cleaning the underside of soles of shoes and/or for absorbing moisture from the underside of soles of shoes.
  • the mat is affixed to the base and/or the edge portion.
  • the mat is fixed in place.
  • the mat may be fixed in place using a temporary fixing means, such as a hook and loop mechanism, or optionally a permanent fixing means, such as, for example, a glue.
  • a temporary fixing means such as a hook and loop mechanism
  • a permanent fixing means such as, for example, a glue.
  • the mat material provides a loop to be hooked.
  • suitable temporary and permanent fixing means will be apparent to the skilled reader.
  • the mat is detachable from the base.
  • the mat may be detachable from the base and as such may be replaceable. Replacement of the mat may, for example, be desirable for redecoration or for replacement due to wear and tear,
  • the mat comprises a height, and preferably wherein the height is substantially the same as the depth. In accordance with most preferable embodiments, the height is greater than the depth. In such embodiments, the height is greater than the depth by a distance selected from the range: 1 mm to 10 mm. Most preferably the the height is greater than the depth by a distance selected from the range: 1 mm to 2.5 mm.
  • the height of the mat slightly exceeds the distance between the upper face of the base and the uppermost surface of the edge portion.
  • the mat is preferably proud of the uppermost surface of the edge portion, which preferably accounts for any compression of said mat, and therefore preferably provides a smooth surface suitable for walking upon.
  • the mat is preferably located within said well.
  • the mat comprises a plurality of layers.
  • the mat may comprise layers, each arranged to perform a specific function.
  • the uppermost of said layers is arranged to perform the function of cleaning the underside of soles of shoes during normal walking.
  • the lowermost of said layers is arranged to be affixed to the base.
  • the floor covering apparatus further comprises a support member, the support member positioned adjacent the lower face of the base.

  • the support member is preferably therefore arranged to minimise any resulting sound of the apparatus underfoot.
  • the support member preferably comprises a sound-absorbing material; and or a shock-absorbing material.
  • Some embodiments of the present invention are preferably arranged to minimise impact of a floor covering apparatus on a setting and may be part of a temporary floor covering solution. As such, damage to any existing floor is preferably minimised through the inclusion of a compressive support member located on the underside of the base.
  • the support member comprises a compressive material.
  • the support member preferably comprises a different compressive material to that comprised within the mat.
  • the compressive material comprises one selected from the group: foam; rubber; a fibrous material.
  • the foam is EPDM neofoam.
  • the support member may comprise one or more feet positioned about the underside of the base to distribute weight imparted upon said base evenly across an underlying floor.
  • the support member comprises a single layer of compressive material extending continuously across the base, such that the underside of the base is covered with said support member.
  • the base and the edge portion each comprise a metal.
  • the base comprises a metal composite.
  • the metal is aluminium.
  • any suitable metal is used for the base and/or the edge portion. Aluminium may be used in preferable embodiments since it is lightweight and durable, thereby preferably requiring minimal effort in removing, replacing or rearranging said apparatus, while also minimising the effect of wear and tear on said apparatus.
  • the base is an aluminium composite
  • the edge portion is pure aluminium.
  • the edge portion comprises a rigid material, which preferably maximises durability against repeated use.
  • “Use” in the context of the present invention will be understood by the skilled addressee to mean fitting, removing, replacing and rearranging said floor covering apparatus, and will also be understood to include walking on said apparatus.
  • “repeated use” includes repeated interaction with said apparatus, which might otherwise, in currently available solutions, be subject to accelerated wear and tear when compared with the present invention.
  • the edge portion is affixed to the base.
  • the edge portion is continuous with the base, and both may be formed from a single sheet of material.
  • the base and the edge portion are manufactured from separate items, and affixed to one another during manufacturing. In such embodiments, the base and the edge portion are each comprised of different materials.
  • the two-dimensional shape is a regular polygon selected from the group: rectangle; triangle; hexagon; rhombus; kite; diamond; parallelogram; trapezoid.
  • the two-dimensional shape is an irregular polygon.
  • the two-dimensional shape is any shape desired or required for a particular application. Said application may, for example, involve fitting said apparatus into an irregular floor space.
  • the shape is not a rectangle.
  • "Rectangle”, in the context of the present invention will be understood by the skilled reader to include a quadrilateral shape comprising four right-angles (90°), and includes a square.
  • "Rectangle”, in the context of the present invention will be understood to exclude any quadrilateral not comprising four right-angles, such as, but not limited to, a kite; a parallelogram; a trapezoid; a rhombus; a diamond.
  • One function of entrance matting is to guide traffic to a required location.
  • Present solutions primarily comprise linear arrays composed exclusively of rectangular, including square, tiles which are incapable of effectively directing multi-directional traffic (as opposed to unidirectional or bidirectional traffic).
  • the present invention preferably provides an alternate solution to those currently provided by offering any suitable shape arranged to create arrays of floor covering apparatuses according to the first aspect, said arrays being more equipped to direct multi-directional traffic.
  • the present invention therefore preferably provides architects and engineers with the creative freedom to produce entrance matting arrangements capable of handling multi-directional traffic - something that present linear array solutions are preferably incapable of doing.
  • Such embodiments of the present invention will be conceivable which are arranged to tesselate with rectangular tiles.
  • the present invention preferably provides for floor covering apparatuses of any number of possible tessellating shapes, and said apparatuses can preferably be fitted together in an almost infinite number of design permutations.
  • the present invention therefore preferably provides a heavy-duty, robust entrance mat solution, which may comprise aluminium and fibre, and preferably allows real creativity of design and easily replaceable component parts.
  • the at least one other such floor covering apparatus comprises a base having a perimeter defining a different two-dimensional shape.
  • the floor covering apparatus may be used in combination with other of such floor covering apparatuses which may comprise a different two-dimensional shape.
