My invention relates to floor separators which are used in terrazzo surfaced floors 'to ,divide the floor into sec tions' and to prevent crete floor and the terrazzo surface" so that a portion of thesame extends flush with the floor and is. surfaced off when'the terrazzo surface, polished dOWn to" "the finished form. Thisleaves the separatorshowing on the surface of the floor and afeatur'e of my invention is to provide the separator of a design to form an attractive separating means ofvarious designs. I have illustrated in the drawings a particular design which 1 may be termed-a wave pattern-and obviously other designs may be employed as well as the making of'thejseparatin'g strip straight on that portion which shows along the'su're face of the terrazzo floor.
It is a feature of thejinventijon to provide a separator having an anchoring meansvgof a design forming a pair of longitudinally extending ribs oppositelydisposed on the faces of theseparating strip; "Between these ribs I provide a straight portion in which a series of openings may be provided. The
openings in the portion between the ribsmay be for the purpose" of receivinganchoring lugs to firmly lock the separating strip embedded in the floor.
It is also'a feature of my invention toprovide' a floor separator having the body portion extending comparatively straight and of a fiat thin nature, together with an upper edge'whichis bent in a manner to form different designs, the strip tapering-to the straight portion ofthesame-from theedge forming thedesign. V l a 1 Thesefeatures, together withiother details :of my inventiouwill be more fully and.clear- 1y set forth inthespecification and; claims. In the; drawings forming part" of my specification: c p c p 7 7 Figure 1 is a plan'viewofaportion of a iterraz z o floorpshowing'my separating strip, employed therein with a particular design. 5
Figure 2 is a perspective of a portion of" terrazzo floor and showing a part broken away o more c arly l strat ,my parating t p, as it would a pear emb d e in the same. 1

In the wave pattern as is'illustrated in the drawings for a convenrence'm describing myinstraight portion 12., Thus it is evident as illustrated in Figure 3 that the sides lltaper equally on either side of thefcenter 12 to form the wave pattQr-nto the upper edge 10 of the separator A.
[Directly adjacent the straight portion 12 fin the separator A I providea longitudi- 'nalzly extending-reinforcing rib 13 adapted to-exieiidon one side ofthe surface Of he the decorative flange B projects. flange B may be of any width to accomprovides a spacer with a properly balancedbody portion including a flange 16 which extends in line with the interposed straight portion 15 which connects the reinforcing ribs 13 and 1.4:- Then above these portions his modate the thickness of the terrazzo surface of the floor C.
I provide a series of openings 17 within the straight portion 15 of the separator A through which anchoring pins '18 may be placed to more securely anchor the separator WVlien the terrazzo portion D of the floor is polished downto the surface C the decorative edge10 is polished at the same time and thereby providing a decorative surface in the form of a strip of a particular design extending through the floorto divide the floor into such spaces as is desired, Thus the separator A not only provides a 'means of separating the concrete and terrazzo surfaced floor in a manner to practic'ally prevent cracking, but to provide such a decorative means of an attractive nature as to make a more desirable-separating mem ber in the body of the floor.- My separator A also functions in such a manner through the reinforcing members 13 and 14: to provide an expandable means in the width of the separator and to firmly anchor the separator in such a manner as to prevent its bulging out of the terrazzo s'urfacedfloor and to accomplish a result of a very desirable nature.
In accordance with the patent statutes I have described the principles of operation of my separator strip. and while I have illustrated and described aparticular design and formation thereof I desire to have'it understood that this is only suggestive of a means like member adapted to'form a particular' pattern along'the length of the spacer,and'
' anchoring members oppositely disposed and I of carrying out my invention and that other forms and shapes may be readily adapted "within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of my in;
vention.

9. A floor separator adapted to be embedded in the body of the floor to extend vertically therein, an upper decorative flange portion having the outer edge adapted to be surfaced with the floor and bent to form a particular design, the sides of the decorative flange tapering equally on either side of the decorative edge toward a straight portion, a longitudinal rib' adjacent said straight portion projecting on one side of said'strip, a straight (portion below said rib, 1
and a second longitu nally extending-reinforcing rib projecting on the other side of said strip. I
10. A floor separating strip having a ribbon-like nature, straight portions extending in line in approximately the same plane longitudinally through said strip, protruding longitudinal-anchoring portions formed in said strip and interposed in said straight portlons, a series of openings through said strip adapted to receive anchorin pins, and
