Jan. :6, 19319 w B JASPERT 1,787,486
TILE FLOOR Filed April 2, 1928 INVENTOR Patented Jan. 6, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFF1E WILLIAM B. JASPERT, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA TILE FLOOR Application filed April 2,
j I utilize a fastening strip of sheet metal or other suitablematerial formed to engage the tile at the lower portion thereof to firmly secure the same on the foundation member,
' r and I further utilize a strip of resilient ma 5 terial which is interlocked with the fastened tile to prevent its accidental removal and to cover up the fastening strip.
In the accompanying drawings constituting a part hereof and in which like reference characters designate like parts, Fig.1 is a perspective view illustrating a section of a composite floor structure embodying the principles of this invention; Fig.2 a perspective view of a resilient strip, such as rubber; Fig.
3 a similar view of a fastening strip of metal,
the strip shown in Figs. 2 and 3 being employed to secure the tile in position; Fig. 4t
is a perspective view illustrating a modification of the invention; Fig. 5 a similar view 7 of still a further modification and Fig. 6 a
view in perspective of a modified form of the resilient strip or liner utilized between adjacent tile members.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, the tile 1 of the general shape as shown in Fig. 1, and having grooves 2 is secured on afoundation member by the fastening strips 3 which are rolled or otherwise formed of sheet metal or other suitable material substantially channel shape as shown in Fig. 3.
The strip 3 is provided with flared sides 4 which are adapted to engage the complementary shaped surfaces 5 of the tile 1 in the manner shown in Fig. 1. The strips 3 are secured to the foundation member by nails or. screws 6 or in any suitable manner to securely hold the tile in place.
A strip of resilient material such rubber 7' molded to the general shape of the recess between adjacent tiles, when the latter are Serial No. 266,512.
secured in the position shown in Fig. 1, is
placed between the tiles and is interlocked therewith.
' The structure illustrated in Fig. 1 is assembled in the following manner :One of the tiles is secured by the strip 3'in the manner shown. The molded resilient strip 7 is then placed in its proper position in aplane overlying the strip 3 and the next adjacent tile is then brought into abutment with the fastening strip 3 and the resilient strip 7 and secured in position by a fastening strip 3 which is placed on the opposite side of the tile in a manner similar to which the strip is secured to the first tile and so on.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the tile 1 is rounded at its lower edge 8 to provide a clearance 9 between the fastening strip 3 to prevent abutment of the lowermost edge of the tile with the bottom-portion of the fas' tening strip whereby the fiared sides 4 of the strip lie in the grooves 2 and are constituted resilient members adapted to yield under lateral'pressure exerted by the tile against the strip. The rubber strip 7 when assembled be tween the tiles will then be subjected to the lateral pressure exerted by the tile whereby the latter is resiliently 'held and relatively movable with adjacent tile members. its shown in Fig. 4 and as disclosed in my copending application referred to, the tile 1 may be secured on a rubber or felt base 10 so that with the resilient strip 3 and the rubber strip 7 the tile is resiliently mounted on all sides and thus capable of entirely eliminating sound caused by impact with the floor. A tile so secured is furthermore positively held against displacement as is the rubber liner 7 which is interlocked with adjacent tile and the liner 7 need not be fastened in any other 90 manner to prevent its displacement.
In the modification shown in 5 and (i, the strip 7 is modified to permit the tile to be laid very closely if desired, a narrow spacing strip 11 being provided to prevent actual 95 engagement of adjacent tile members. It is evident that the tile may be laid with a strip of any desired dimension by varying the width of the fastening strips 3 and making the rubber strip 7 to the shape correspondits ing to the spacing between the tile members when they are in their fastened position on the foundation member. I
It is evident from the foregoing description of this invention that tiles fastened and mounted in the manner therein described constitute an improved flooring surface which may be produced of ornamental design and color to provide suitable decorative effects.
It is also evident that various modifications maybe made in the form of the fastening strip and resilient strips'and in the shape of the tile and tile edges within the spirit of this invention.
I claim hereinas my invention: j 1, A wearing surface for floors compr1smg in combination aplurahty oftile, means for yieldingly engaging the edges of said tile and for securingthe same to a foundation member, and resilient material d sposed between adjacent tile and being interlocked.
