Application filed February 26, 1928. Serial No. 90,725.
The invention relates to floor covering. One of the objects is to improve covering for floors.
Another object is to provide an improved unit of a floor covering; another object is to provide an improved manner of securing it to a floor.
A further object is the provision of an improved composition tile-like unit composed of a wearing plate and a base plate havin different coefficients of expansion.
A further object is to provide improved means for interlocking the wearing plates of the tile-like units or members together. 1 Other objects, advantages and benefits will readily appear from a consideration of the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view showing four tile-like members as they will appear when being laid on a floor;
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragment of Flgure 1 Figure 3 shows an intermediate member interlocking the aforesaid four members together;
Figure 4 is a section taken on hne IV-IV of Flgure 1; and
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional v1ew of a part of one tile-like member taken on line V--V of Figure 3.
In all the views the same reference characters indicate similar parts.
As shown on the drawings:
The reference character 10 indicates a tile or tile-like member. The wearing in the particular showing, has its corners cut off or is truncated for insertion of an intermediate member 12. The base-plate or portion 13 is shown to be substantially rectangular in plan with its corners 14 extending beyond the edges 15 left by the cut-away part of the wearing plate 11. The triangular tab 14 of the base plate 13 is to receive nails 16 or other like fastening means to hold the member in place on the floor.
The intermediate tile member 17 is a relatively small wearing plate which, when in place upon the floor, is superposed upon the rectangular opening plate 11,
corners of four adjacent base plates 13. The plate 17 may be cemented, nailed or glued in place.
In Figure 3 the plate 17 has interlocking members 18'which extend through suitable openings made in the wearing plates 10 and which rest upon the base plates and which may be secured thereto.
It will be seen, in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, that the wearing plate 11 extends slightly beyond the corresponding edge of the base plate 13. This is done to insure more intimate contact between the meetin edges of the wearing plates and to permit the base plate to expand to a larger extent when its coefiicient of expansion is greater than that of the wearing plate.
The tile-like covering hereinbefore described may be made of tile-like members composed of more or less flexible material. The wearing plate 11 may be made of a composition similar in general characteristics to linoleum and the base plate 13 ma consist of a more or less porous fabric suc i as felt, having incorporated therein a more or less viscous composition of asphaltum.
After the members 10 have been applied to a floor, as shown in Figure 1, the central may be filled with the plate 17 or by a into a thickness level with the upper surfaces of the members 10.
The interlocking member 17, as shown in Figure 3, may be of a contrastin color with respect to the'members 10 and while it lends beauty of design to the assemblage, it serves as means to prevent lateral movement of the members 10 with respect to each other.
I have mentioned a use of the invention as a floor covering, but of course, this expression is intended to be illustrative only, for obvi usly the invention may be used as a part or covering of any part of a building or structure without departing from the principles of the invention.
While I have herein shown a single embodiment of the invention, it is manifest that considerable variation may be made therefrom within the scope of the appended claims, and while the invention is particularly adapted to flexible tile-like structures, it is not necessarily limited to the material used in their composition.
I claim as my invention:
1. A floor covering member comprising a astic material troweled uniformly thick and fiat base platemember, angular in plan and an overlying uniformly thick and flat wearing plate having truncited corners, the corners of the base plate projecting beyond the wearing plate and a side edge of the wearing plate, between two corners, projecting uniformly on four sides beyond the base plate edges.
2. A floor covering member comprising an angular uniformly thick and-flat base plate member, and an overlying angular uniformly thick and flat wearing plate member larger in area than the base plate, the base plate projecting beyond the wearing plate at its corners and the wearing plate uniformly projecting beyond the four edges of the base plate between corners.
3. A floor covering comprising a plurality of like units, each unit including an angu-" lar wearing plate, of uniform'thinkness, having truncated corners, and an underlying base plate, of uniform thickness, projecting beyond the corners, the projecting parts to.
left by the cut-away portions of said wearing plates, and in thickness equal to the wearing plates.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my-name.
o'r'ro A. HEPPES.
