Description

PATBNTED 'MAY 8, 1906.
L. F. LINDLEY.
' UNITED STATES PATENT oEEioE;`
LOWELL F. LINDLEY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
' TILING.
5 nois, have invented a certain new and usefulA Improvement in Tiling, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to tiles for flooring and wainscoting; and the object of the invention is to provide a durable composite tile having a base of wood or other` rigid material and a resilient cap, the Whole so constructed as to prevent the a pearance of cracks between the edges of t e tiles when laid in osition in floors or wainscoting. I attain t iis obj ect by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a complete tile. Fig.' 2 is a perspective view of the )ase portion thereof, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a complete tile. y
Similar numerals refer to similar parts 4throughout the several views.`
The base portion is com osed of rigid material, preferably wood. he shape-is nonessential, although it is preferably interlocking in accordance with any of the known designs or is tongued and grooved at the edges, as shown in the drawings. The fact that the base forms the securing means is of great advantage, in that the fastening is consequently iirm and rigid and not de endent upon the cap 2, which is pliable and as comparatively sl ight resistance to a shearing or tearing strain. In the referred construction the u per surface o? are let into the body of the base a series of grooves or channels 3 3, having obli ue walls. The said cap 2 consists of a yielding and resilient composition which becomes soft and plastic under heat. The proportions and ingredients of this composition may be greatly varied; but the basis thereof is caoutchouc or india-rubber having mixed therewith, among other things, a less yieldin material-for example, pulverized minera matter. f
The cap is attached to the base by bein vulcanized tliereonto-that is to say, ap plie thereto under heat and pressure, the com sition entering into and filling the channe s 3 and the depressions in the roughened top surface of the base. The composition also is caused to form a layer over the base to a Specication of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 12. 1905.
portions will become slightly crowde l gether or compressed, and if afterward the the base is roughened, and t ere Patented May 8, 1906.
Serial No. 260,115. Y
When allowed to cool, the composition becomes set, so as to permanently retain its shape.
In vthis my preferred construction of tile the cap is prevented by the inclined walls of the channels 3 from rising bodily from the base, and the roughness of the u per surface of the base prevents creeping of) the cap at points intermediate of the channels. Moreover, when wood is employed the softened composition enters not only into the depressions in the base, but into the pores thereof, and the two parts become very closely united'.
The caps Will usuall` be made of different colors, so that when t e tiles are assembled various patterns may be roduced.
By this construction a ooring is obtained which is much more durable than wood, is capable of producing flooring patterned in di erent colors, and is noiseless and yielding to the tread. The tiles ma be securely fastened to the substructure y nailing, if desired, Without the necessity of penetrating the cap and without the fastening means 4being exposed to view.
The caps-.2 are so molded as to project at the top surface a slight distance beyond the lower portion, as best illustrated, for example, in Fig. 3. With this construction when the tiles are laid closely together the u per ases, if of Wood, should shrink the caps will expand, thus preventing the appearance Vof any cracks.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A tile having av rigid base with depressions in the to and a resilient cap composed of material which softens under heat, said cap bein engaged by the top portion of said base, an the cap roj ecting slightly over the edge of the base or reventing the appearance of cracks 'when Llaid in a floor or wall.
2. As an article of manufacture, a tile having a Wooden base, and a resilient cap vulcanized onto the base and projecting beyond the edge thereof for the purpose described. In Witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
