Description
Sept. 30, 1941. w. T. BATH SECTIONAL FLOORING Filed July 5, 1940 Patented Sept. 30, 1941 UNITED STATES 'rnar OFFICE Application July 5, 1940, Serial No. 344,119 In Canada July 8, 1939 2 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in sectional flooring for rinks and the object of the invention is to provide a flooring which may be laid down in sections and interlocked so as to provide a firm absolutely flush surface supported on the water pipes of the rink and it consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts as hereafter explained.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a portion of my floor- Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View on line 22 Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view on line 3-4 Fig. 1.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
i indicates the ordinary piping of an ice rink. 2 are floor sections provided with cross cleats 3 which project beyond each longitudinal edge of each section as indicated at 3 and 3.
The cross cleat at one end of each section is provided with a tongue 4 and the cross cleat at the opposite end of each section with a groove 5 into which the tongue 4 of the next adjacent section fits. The lower surfaces of the tongues and grooves are inclined as shown in Fig. 2. Also the tongue 4 projects beyond the end edge of the section to which it is attached and the groove 5 of the next adjacent section is overhung by the end edge of the section. By this means when the sections are forced longitudinally together the tongue and grooves are wedged into engagement so that there Will be no downward give between the ends of the sections to produce an uneven surface.
Also the projecting ends of the cleats form a firm support for the contacting longitudinal edges of the sections no matter Whether these edges are carried directly by a water pipe or not.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. The combination with the parallel piping or other supporting structure in an ice rink, of a series of floor sections carried freely on the piping and arranged end to end in parallel rows, engaging means at the opposing ends of each pair of sections of each row engaged by slipping the sections when horizontal on said piping longitudinally into an abutting position at their ends, and engaging means at the opposing sides of each row of sections engaged by slipping the sections transversely so that the sides of each row are brought to an abutting position whereby the sections are freely connected to form a removable flooring.
2. The combination with the parallel piping or other supporting structure in an ice rink, of a series of floor sections carried freely on the piping and arranged end to end in parallel rows, a tongue and groove connection between the ends of the sections engaged by slipping each section longitudinally on the supporting piping into an end abutting position, transverse cleats extending across each section and projecting from the sides thereof so as to freely enter and be withdrawable from between the projecting cleats of the next adjacent row when the sides are in abutting position whereby the sections are freely connected to form a removable flooring.
WILLIAM TOM BATE-I.
