Definitions

  • This invention concerns a relatively thin flexible anchor sheet for use under carpets or other decorative coverings.
  • the anchor sheet acts to tie the decorative covering together as a functional unit and to add mass and stability to such unit, particularly a unit having a flexible decorative covering such as a carpet.
  • An anchor sheet may be substantially covered over one side with hooks for anchoring a decorative covering to it by engagement of complementary loops on the lower side of the covering.
  • the anchor sheet itself may be attached to the underlying substrate, such as a floor or wall, or it may be loose laid on a floor where the sheet and covering together have sufficient mass or are so placed as to prevent movement. It is possible to supply the anchor sheet as a small or large module with pre-attached decorative covering as will be explained later.
  • Carpet can be glued directly to the flooring. This is often the approach taken in an institutional setting in which the underlying flooring is concrete and liquid glue is applied across the entire concrete area to be covered. This approach has the advantage that, so long as the adhesive bond provided between the carpet and flooring remains intact, the carpet cannot buckle. Of course, adjustment or replacement of such carpet can be difficult in the sense that previously applied glue might be required to be stripped from the flooring and new glue applied. In addition, such glues often contain volatile organic components that are banned in some places or are required to be ventilated, in other places.
  • tackless strips are wooden strips having angled tacks driven upwardly therethrough. The strips are secured around the perimeter of the area to be covered, often by nailing them into wooden flooring, and the carpet is stretched over the tacks.
  • This approach has the advantage that the carpet can be restretched to remove a buckle that develops, and the carpet and underpad, not being permanently adhered to the flooring can be removed without being destroyed.
  • stretching is a labour intensive art which makes installing wall-to-wall carpet by this method relatively expensive.
  • This approach also avoids the use of volatile organics, but some difficulties can arise in installing tackless strips to concrete.
  • U.S. '658 from the same inventor describes a wall-to-wall installation in which hooked strips are secured by pressure sensitive adhesive around a room perimeter and at the carpet seams. A carpet having loops across its backside is cut to fit the room and the loops engage the hooked tape.
  • U.S. '692 describes a method for seaming a carpet such as the one described in U.S. '658. Both of these patent specifications also disclose advantages obtained through the use of a cover for the hooked tape, a primary advantage being that such a cover prevents premature engagement of the hooks and loops to permit proper placement and adjustment of the carpet without the need for disengaging prematurely engaged hooks and loops during installation.
  • This prior approach provides the advantages of installing strips at the perimeter and seams of a carpeted area, particularly that the carpeting can be lifted without being destroyed and the avoidance of the use of compounds containing volatile adhesives.
  • the “holy grail” of carpet and other decorative covering would be a system which when laid had such mass and stability as to require little or no attachment to the underlying substrate and which can be installed over existing substrates without the necessity of the removal of existing covering.
  • a site such as a room
  • such a system has to either provide for sufficient flexibility so that it can be rolled or, if rigid, a way of assembling modules so as to form a contiguous mass in situ with sufficient mass and stability to remain in place with minimal detachable attachment or perhaps no attachment, particularly when dealing with different existing floors or flooring surfaces to be covered.
  • the system provides that the pieces of carpet or other decorative covering can be integrated together by use of the underlying detachable anchor sheet.
  • individual modules can be made consisting of a decorative covering and an anchor sheet attached together in advance of installation at a remote site.
  • Such modules can be easily removed and re-attached as required for repair or replacement or for design reasons.
  • individual modules can be locked together by overlapping the anchor sheet or decorative covering of adjacent modules so as to give the complete structure sufficient mass and stability to minimize or remove the need for attachment to the substrate.
  • the present invention in one aspect features an anchor sheet, preferably of plastic, for detachable attachment of a decorative covering such as carpet, ceramic, tile, hardwood, marble or a wall covering to an underlying rigid supporting substrate, such as the surface of flooring or a wall.
  • a decorative covering such as carpet, ceramic, tile, hardwood, marble or a wall covering
  • an underlying rigid supporting substrate such as the surface of flooring or a wall.
  • an anchor sheet preferably in the form of a relatively thin flexible sheet
  • integrity can be given to covering materials, such as flexible carpets which can be pre-assembled or assembled on site onto the surface of the sheet by the use of a complementary hook on the upper surface of the flexible sheet matching a complementary loop on the undersurface of the carpet or carpet pieces.
  • the sheet can then be installed onto an underlying substrate such as concrete or wood at only a discrete number of points.
  • the anchor sheet enables the installation of decorative covering even onto stone or tile, without significant destruction of the stone or tile floor. It also enables decorative patterns to be pre-assembled at a factory or other location or to be assembled on site by cutting and fitting different colours or pieces of decorative covering together on the anchor sheet to form decorative patterns.
  • Such a system is suitable for either area rugs or wall-to-wall covering and in certain types of wall-to-wall and area rugs, or even tile, it may not be necessary to attach the anchor sheet to the underlying substrate at all. If the carpet is cut to fit the walls or boundaries of a room the anchor sheet may give sufficient integrity to the carpet to allow it to simply sit in the location under constraint of the perimeter walls or other boundaries or if enough furniture, for example, was placed on top. It should be emphasized that the anchor sheet, however, is not structural support in the conventional sense as disclosed for example, in the anchor board of Pacione U.S. Pat. No. 5,060,443 since it does not support the floor or wall on which it is placed.
  • the anchor sheet maintains a certain level of flexibility to enable the anchor sheet to “ride” over imperfections in the floor.
  • the anchor sheet is relatively thin in relation to the overlying decorative covering, but in some cases, for instance, where there is a thin layer of marble veneer, then the anchor sheet could be thicker and more rigid than the overlying material and could be made of materials other than plastic such as metal (aluminum or steel) or wood.
  • the invention consists of, in one aspect, a detachable anchor sheet for detachable attachment of a decorative covering, such as a carpet, to a rigid supporting substrate, such as a floor, in which the decorative covering has a finished upper surface and an opposite surface substantially covered in loops.
  • the anchor sheet can comprise a relatively thin flexible sheet, preferably of plastic such as a polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, or polypropylene, substantially covered with hooks on its upper surface facing the loop surface of the decorative covering and placed intermediate between the decorative covering and the supporting substrate.
  • This flexible anchor sheet or sheets can be, but normally is not, exactly the same size as the combined pieces of overlying sheet goods.
  • anchor sheet may be larger than the area under the sheet goods or it can be smaller in cases where it is desired to trim the overlaying carpet to a wall or other boundary.
  • the anchor sheet and decorative covering must in combination have sufficient rigidity to support the decorative covering from shear horizontal force applied to the sheet goods on the floor or other substrate when the combination is laid onto the rigid supporting substrate.
  • the anchor sheet will be attached to the substrate at a limited number of discrete points or in some cases along with the covering it may have sufficient rigidity and mass to free float within the boundaries of a room or even on its own.
  • the decorative covering it is preferable, but not required in all cases, for the decorative covering to be detachable from the anchor sheet.
  • the decorative covering would normally be pre-installed, and possibly even permanently installed, on the non-decorative anchor sheet leaving an area of anchor sheet or decorative covering exposed for detachable attachment by overlapping with adjoining modules. It is required that this overlapping area provide for detachable attachment and also for a means to prevent attachment during installation to enable the modules to be adjusted for correct alignment during installation.
  • the means for detachable attachment is preferably a hook and loop attachment system, but it could also be an adhesive which provided for multiple opening and closing while maintaining tackiness.
  • the covering could be a hand smooth plastic which does not bind to the hook and loop, or one could use a textile or paper hook covering not unlike the hook covering in original patent Pacione '658.
  • a flexible tape covering could be used in the overlapping area, which is provided with a pull string which can be pulled from under the pre-assembled covering. This whole process could be duplicated using entirely adhesive or part adhesive and part hook and loop.
  • the individual modules of anchor sheet and the individual modules of covering are tied together in a supporting mass which can “free float” on the floor or be connected at only very few discrete points.
  • the invention consists of an anchor sheet or sheets and pieces of covering in an overlapping staggered relationship to form a contiguous floor covering having sufficient rigidity, atmospheric stability, horizontal plane stability (shear force stability) and flexibility so that in general use such floor covering may not require attachment to the underlying floor. Attachment may be required for a small area rug over a slick marble floor or at a ramp or stairs or where the end use involves heavy traffic.
  • decorative modules comprising an anchor sheet and decorative covering can be pre-assembled offsite by detachably attaching some of the hooks on the upper surface of the anchor sheet to some of the loops on the underside of the decorative covering so that the decorative covering on the anchor sheet overlaps the anchor sheet by a predetermined amount.
  • These pre-assembled decorative modules can then be shipped to the site and individually placed on the underlying substrate in an abutting fashion to permit interlocking between the loops on the underside of the decorative covering of one unit and the hooks on the upper surface of the anchor sheet of an adjacent decorative module.
  • Each decorative module added to the growing modular surface covering can be guided into its proper position by placing thin, rigid pieces of plastic over the exposed hooks of the anchor sheet of an established decorative module.
  • the thin, rigid plastic pieces are slid out and away from the two modules, parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby allowing the abutting module to become engaged through a hook and loop system.
  • the thin, rigid pieces of plastic can also be used to detach individual modules of the modular surface covering.
  • the thin, rigid plastic is inserted between the mechanically bonded portions of the hook and loop fastener of abutting modules, parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby breaking the mechanical bond and maintaining the hooks and loops out of contact with one another to enable the units to be dislodged and removed from the modular surface covering.
  • the invention consists of a covering module for transportation to a surface to be covered and for attachment to additional modules to form a finished decorative surface comprising at least one decorative covering having an upper decorative surface and an opposite lower surface, a non-decorative anchor sheet having an upper surface, the decorative covering attached across a substantial portion of its lower surface to the non-decorative anchor sheet and the anchor sheet dimensioned so that, after attachment of the decorative covering to the anchor sheet, there is provided an overlap area of upper surface of anchor sheet exposed along at least one edge of the module which overlap area is provided with means for detachable attachment of such module to an adjoining module by attachment to an overlapping area of the lower surface of a decorative covering attached to an adjoining module.
  • Covering modules of an unlimited variety of shapes and sizes can be constructed and decorative patterns may be assembled on site by combining different colours or patterns of the same type of decorative covering, such as alternating between units of red and blue carpet or by combining different types of decorative covering such as carpet and hardwood in a hotel, restaurant or ballroom setting or carpet, hardwood, ceramic or stone in a home setting.
  • such contiguous covering could have sufficient rigidity and mass so as not to require attachment to the underlying surface.
  • attachment of the anchor sheet at discrete points may be required as for example, when the surface to be covered is a wall.

It can be laid on the floor, in the case of a wall-to-wall installation, in continuous abutting relationship to other anchor sheets to cover the entire surface of the floor or other rigid substrate. As it is covered with coverings 9 and strips 11 , it is possible to lay and install carpet on it without premature attachment of the hooks 7 and complementary loops.

  • anchor sheets are at least anchored to each other and possibly pre-attached at discrete locations to the floor.
  • Anchor sheets can be attached to each other by the removal of precut hook covering strips 11 on either piece of abutting anchor sheets for instance 1 and 3 and replacement of such hook covering with a bridging piece of hook covering for instance 13 which covers the join between abutting anchor sheets and attaches them to each other.
  • Strip 13 can cover the join between a number of anchor sheets. For instance in FIG. 1, it is also covering the abutting join between anchor sheet 8 and 10 as well.

  • the anchor sheet can be glued down, attached by hook tape affixed to the floor and attachable to complementary loops on the back of the anchor sheet, or attached by double-sided adhesive tape, but in most cases the simplest form of attachment of the anchor sheet to the rigid substrate, particularly if the substrate is, for example, a wooden floor, is to attach the anchor sheet at discrete points by the use of nails or tacks.
  • Such discrete points are shown at 14 in FIG. 1 and in this case it is advisable to have perforations, slits or holes in hook cover sheet 9 so as to enable the anchor sheets such as 1 , 3 , 5 etc.

  • anchor sheet 21 which is, in this case, bigger than carpet piece 19 so as to leave exposed an area of hooks 25 covered with a hook covering 27 .
  • Most carpet rolled in this way will be installed on an anchor sheet at a factory with an overlap a shown for carpet piece 29 so that the carpet overlaps on one side of the anchor sheet 31 and on another side the anchor sheet 31 itself extends beyond carpet piece 29 .
  • Carpet and anchor sheet combination 29 and 31 are then unrolled to abut carpet piece 19 and can be cut and fit in place after which hook covering 27 can be removed by pulling the hook covering up thereby rolling back carpet piece 29 or in some cases by pulling the covering 27 up and through join 33 .
  • Carpet piece 29 is now firmly attached to both anchor sheet 21 and 31 and, as it bridges the join 35 between the two of them attaches the two anchor sheets together. It is now possible to repeat this process by laying an additional similar carpet roll over hook covering 37 and remove such hook covering to attach the next adjoining carpet piece to anchor sheet 31 and to repeat this process again and again until the room is covered in carpet and anchor sheet in a continuing piece.
  • the hook covering 27 or 37 can have perforations, slits or holes so that a nail or tack attached through the hook covering will not attach the hook covering to the underlying anchor sheet so that it can be removed as previously described. Attachment of the anchor sheet to the floor at for instance strips 39 and 41 should be sufficient attachment in many, if not most, instances, especially when combined with the fact that the decorative carpet covering also ties the anchor sheets together as a single unit.
  • FIG. 8 shows an additional form of carpet installation.
  • the carpet and anchor sheet will be delivered from the factory attached but the carpet, for instance 47 , is narrower than the anchor sheet 48 to leave an exposed area of anchor sheet hook 49 and hook covering 50 of approximately width C as shown in FIG. 9 on both longitudinal edges.
  • the carpet is unrolled and, if desired, attached to the underlying floor.
  • Another similar anchor sheet 51 having installed thereon carpet 52 is unrolled and abutted to anchor sheet 48 (seen in FIG. 9).
  • Anchor sheet 53 is also unrolled and abutted to anchor sheet 5 1 .
  • Anchor sheets can be attached to the floor by, for instance, nailing through strip areas 55 , 57 , 59 and 61 since at this stage of the installation, those areas do not contain a carpet covering. Bridging carpet strip 63 can be fit to the area not covered by carpet 55 and 57 (the area labelled D in FIG. 9). After fitting, underlying hook coverings 50 and 54 can be removed so that carpet piece 63 can be installed on the anchor sheet to bridge and firmly attach anchor sheet 48 to anchor sheet 51 . A similar process can then be followed for anchor sheet 53 .
  • anchor sheets 48 and 51 may be attached to the floor either by tacking or nailing or also by a complementary hook and loop attachment system, or (although it is usually not preferable) by gluing or pressure sensitive double-sided tape.
  • FIG. 10 is shown another form of pattern 67 containing a central medallion 69 and corner pieces 71 installed on an anchor sheet 73 .
  • the anchor sheets and carpet pieces simply abut and are attached to the floor by small pieces of hook tape 75 which will normally have hook covering (not shown), hooks on an upper surface and a pressure sensitive adhesive 77 on a lower surface for attachment to the floor.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive will normally have a peelable dry strippable covering.
  • the carpet 67 and anchor sheet 73 can be attached by individual pieces 75 at the corners which can overlap with the adjoining carpet pieces. Strips could also be used along joins between for instance carpet pieces 67 and 79 , but if a number of pieces is to be used, normally an overlapping modular system such as shown in FIG. 19 would be used, since this assists in holding seams in place and assists with gauge differential problems that might exist between different carpets which could cause seam abuse. If a modular system is used attachment points to the underlying floor may not be required.
  • One advantage of the anchor sheet system is that carpet inserts 69 and 71 can be removed, replaced, or exchanged if different colours or patterns are desired and similarly as shown in FIG. 6 inserts 43 and pieces 45 can also be removed and changed. Any pattern can be inserted, and if standard sizes are used, the patterns can be interchangeable so as to convert the carpet piece from for instance a boy's pattern to a girl's pattern or from a living room pattern to a bedroom or bathroom pattern.
  • anchor sheet need only be attached at a discrete corner area such as with pad 75 shown in FIG. 10 but, nevertheless, carpet pieces 67 , 69 , 71 and 72 , for instance, are all attached across their entire undersurface on the anchor sheet 73 so that a pattern can be inserted or replaced at any point.
  • an area rug can also be created in which carpet piece 81 is installed over anchor sheet 83 as best seen in FIG. 12.
  • Anchor sheet 83 has upturned or curled lip 85 which covers the exposed edges 87 of the carpet.
  • An anchor sheet for such area carpet can be attached by nails or by hook and loop technology (if the underside of the anchor sheet is covered in loops and is then installed with corresponding hooked tape). In most cases it would be sufficient to simply attach the anchor sheet at discrete points to the underlying floor by a small piece of loop tape attached by pressure sensitive adhesive to the underside of the anchor sheet 83 matched to a corresponding small piece of hook tape attached by pressure sensitive adhesive to the floor. In some cases the area carpet may have sufficient mass and stability not to have to be attached to the underlying floor at all. The need for attachment is reduced if, for instance, anchor sheet 83 has a non-slip surface on its underside.
  • carpet 81 can, like carpets 67 and 19 , have inserted patterns and those patterns can be quite elaborate allowing, for the first time, a relatively cheap patterned rug which can mimic even, for instance, oriental carpets, in which a large number of carpet pieces are installed over a unitary anchor sheet 83 . It is even possible to create a crazy quilt or a do-it-yourself carpet using carpet pieces installed over a pre-formed anchor sheet 83 .
  • anchor sheets 89 can be made in smaller modules.
  • Decorative covering such as carpet pieces 91
  • carpet pieces 91 can be, for instance, carpet tiles, and if they are laid in overlapping relationship as shown in FIG. 13, a contiguous mass can be formed by anchor sheets 89 and carpet pieces 91 , which would be sufficient to provide for stable installation without attachment to a floor. This would particularly be the case if piece 91 is not carpet but parquet or another rigid decorative covering. If however it is desired to attach the anchor sheets 89 to the floor, that can be easily done by tacking or nailing, or using conventional hook and loop technology.
  • FIG. 13 a is shown a similar arrangement to FIG. 13, but in which the pattern is built in a modular way so that, for instance, units of a covering 91 and an anchor sheet 89 can be created before assembling the entire surface covering.
  • a form of such units, which we call covering modules, is described below.
  • covering modules comprising an anchor sheet 96 having an upper surface covered substantially with hooks 97 , with an optional cushion on its lower surface 98 and a decorative covering 99 for placement over the anchor sheet having a decorative finished upper surface 100 and a lower surface substantially covered with loops 101 are detachably preattached offsite in an overlapping manner along surface AA as shown in FIG. 17 such that an area of hooks are left exposed BB while some of the loops on the underside of the decorative covering are also left exposed CC.
  • Covering pieces (not shown), preferably of cloth can cover the hooks 97 , but are not necessary where temporary coverings 106 as seen in FIGS. 18 and 18 a are used. It might be advisable to use covering pieces to prevent dirt from covering the hooked surface before assembly.
  • each covering module 105 added to the growing modular surface covering is guided into its proper position by laying thin, rigid pieces of plastic 106 , over the exposed hooks of the anchor sheet of the established covering module 107 .
  • the rigid pieces of plastic permit placement and adjustment of the unit without premature engagement of hooks and loops during installation.
  • FIG. 20 shows a section of two covering modules attached together.
  • a disadvantage of using covering modules is the difficulty of aligning them over a great distance.
  • the anchor sheet should preferably be precisely located in relation to the neighbouring anchor sheet and the decorative covering should preferably be precisely located in relation to the decorative covering of a neighbouring covering module. If the length AA, BB or CC (as shown in FIG. 17) is off by even a small amount, this amount multiplied over many modules will result in a misalignment of the surface covering.
  • the anchor sheet and the decorative covering are precisely aligned on the covering module, it will not be possible in practice to easily install an overlapping system, such as disclosed here. In practice, it is necessary to have these modules preattached in a precise relationship as shown in FIG. 17, preferably by preassembly at a factory using a machine for accurate alignment. It is also possible but slow to use a pattern or form at the point of installation for maintaining a constant alignment of the decorative covering with the anchor sheet.
  • One advantage of this form of installation is that an unlimited variety of patterns can be created. Decorative coverings or the entire covering module can be removed, replaced or exchanged if different colour or pattern combinations are desired. Any pattern can be inserted and if standard sizes are used, patterns can be interchangeable. For example, units of different coloured carpet can be installed to create a unique carpet design or a combination of different types of covering modules, such as carpet and hardwood or ceramic and marble can be combined and subsequently replaced or exchanged to form yet other unique arrangements.
  • the thin, rigid pieces of plastic discussed above can also be used to detach individual units of the modular surface covering.
  • the thin, rigid pieces of plastic are inserted between the mechanically bonded portions of the hook and loop fastener of abutting units, parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby breaking the mechanical bond and maintaining the hooks and loops out of contact with one another to enable the units to be dislodged and removed from the modular surface covering.
  • Another advantage is that in most cases, the mass of the decorative covering and the rigidity of the anchor sheet when attached together will enable the modular surface covering resulting from the hook and loop attachment of abutting covering modules, to abutting anchor sheets to be held firmly in place without the need for attachment to the underlying substrate.
  • selected covering modules to the substrate, as for example, with a wall covering, that can be done by tacking, nailing, gluing or by use of hook and loop technology.
  • the exposed portion of the anchor sheet of a covering module yet to be bonded through hook and loop technology to a subsequently added abutting module can be used for tacking to the underlying substrate. Such exposed portion is then covered by a decorative covering of an abutting covering module.
  • Such discrete tacking points could be as shown at 108 in FIGS. 16, 18, 19 and 21 .
  • Attachment of the anchor to the substrate at points 108 or even fewer points should be sufficient attachment in many, if not most, instances.
  • FIGS. 22, 23, and 24 Shown in FIGS. 22, 23, and 24 is an additional carpet or ceramic tile pattern using covering modules 110 such as shown in FIG. 24.
  • Such covering modules consist of an anchor sheet 112 and a tile or decorative covering 114 which can be of ceramic or carpet or any other suitable material.
  • the tile or decorative covering 114 and anchor sheet 112 are pre-attached at a factory in a precisely predetermined relationship as shown. If the tile or decorative covering contains loops across its undersurface and the anchor sheet hooks across its top surface, then detachment and reattachment are possible if required on site.
  • a permanent adhesive can be used for a permanent bond between tile 114 and anchor sheet 112 or a temporary adhesive having the properties of hook and loop (i.e. can be attached and reattached and good horizontal strength) can be used.
  • the anchor sheet 112 will be covered in hooks similar to hooks 97 in FIGS. 14 and 18 and, the underside of the tile will be covered in loops similar to loops 101 in FIGS. 15 and 17.
  • Tile or decorative covering such as 116 in FIG. 22 overlaps and binds to anchor sheets 112 , 118 , 120 and 122 and helps to tie those anchor sheets together. If the tile is carpet tile, then tiles such as 114 , 116 and others including centre tile 124 can be formed by dye cutting of a larger carpet piece. In this case “grout” shaped spacing pieces 126 as shown in FIG. 23 are formed.
  • this piece 126 if it came from the carpet used to make tile 114 or 124 would go off for use in another pattern and a new piece (not shown) of the same shape as piece 126 would be included (from a dye cutting of a carpet of a contrasting colour).
  • tile 128 for instance overlaps anchor sheet 130 and 134 , but anchor sheet 134 and 136 are attached by medallion 132 and also by an insert or “grout” 126 as shown in FIG. 23, which has not yet been installed in the arrangement of FIG. 25.
  • tiles such as 114 or 128 are ceramic tiles
  • a resilient grout such as rubber caulking
  • Such elastic band could even be preinstalled onto the tile before the covering modules such as 110 are assembled. Additionally even real grout could be used directly into the space between the tiles.
  • the anchor sheet of this invention in its various embodiments allows for increased versatility in the installation of decorative coverings or carpets that have been created with loops such as the hook and loop system disclosed in Pacione U.S. Pat. No. 4,822,658.
  • Using the covering modules, in which the decorative covering and anchor sheet are pre-attached it is possible to reduce the attachment area to an exposed overlapping area and to use an adhesive which can be pulled apart and re-attached or hook and loop in such exposed area.
  • carpets and other decorative covering can be installed easily on almost any surface without destroying the surface and they can be, in many instances, pre-assembled at a factory and the carpets or other decorative covering only need to be attached to the underlying surface, if at all, at a few discrete places.
  • This removes the necessity of having to remove underlying substrate such as carpet or hardwood and having to strip adhesives such as glue from the surface.
  • Large quantities of decorative covering such as carpet no longer have to be disposed of as they are simply covered by a new decorative covering.
