Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a surface covering system, and a method of applying a surface covering (such as a floor covering) using such a system.
  • Floor coverings with a textile surface are generally referred to as carpets or rugs; carpets are frequently used domestically and in offices and the like in the form of tiles. It is necessary to secure such tiles to a floor by means of , for example, adhesive or staples, and/or to provide the tiles with sufficient weight per unit area to ensure that they stay in place and do not migrate substantially .
  • Releasable carpet tiles that is, carpet tiles which can be fixed in position, released at will and replaced or relocated
  • U.K. Patent Specification 1546901 discloses a releasable carpet tile, the underside of which is substantially covered by one surface of a "velvet- type fastening system" (that is a system comprising a the ends of at least some of which are provided with material-engaging means, and a "loopy fabric" having loops engageable by the material'-engaging means just
  • U.S. patent 3866267 discloses a similar releasable tile; in this case the fastening system is provided around the edges only of the tiles (rather than substantially covering the underside). Suitable velvet-type fasteners are available
  • a surface covering system comprising
  • the present invention further comprises a method of applying a surface covering, employing a surface covering system according to the invention, which comprises securing the above-mentioned material (a) to the surface of the rigid support, and disposing the tiles over the surface such that the bottom layer of some at least of the tiles are secured to said material (a) by means of the latter's fibrous projections.
  • the surface covering system according to the invention is primarily intended for use as covering for a floor of a building; however, it may be used for other purposes, for example, for covering vehicle floor ⁇ ing or as a wall covering.
  • the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections is preferably only in contact with a relatively small area of the bottom layer of the respective tile. It is generally preferred to employ the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections in such a way that every corner of every tile is engaged by such material.
  • the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections is preferably in the form of a tape secured at intervals to the surface of the rigid support. Such a tape may be secured to the surface of the rigid support in the form of strips along edges of the tiles; preferably along the edge of each and every tile.
  • the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections is secured to the support underneath a plurality of adjacent tiles.
  • the material having a plurality of fibrous projections may be disposed beneath four adjacent corners of the tiles. It is particularly ⁇ preferred that 4 to 20? ⁇ of the bottom layer should be -in contact with the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections.
  • the surface of the top and bottom layers may be plain or patterned; preferably the top layer has a different colour and/or pattern to that of the bottom layer so that the appearance of the surface covering system may be changed by reversing selected ones (or all) of the tiles preserrt on the surface
  • the top layer and the bottom layer are each preferably of washable textile material, such as poly- propylene, which is preferably in the form of a non-woven (e.g. needle-punched) fabric.
  • the total thickness of the tile is preferably 4 to 20 ml; the weight per unit area of the tile is perferably 100 to 500g per metre (for example, 150 to 400g per square metre).
  • the multiplicity of fibrous projections constitutes at least the entire periphery of the above-mentioned material (a); the latter may comprise a support-engaging fabric layer secured to a tile-engaging layer having the multiplicity of fibrous projections.
  • the material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections may have projections in the form of hooks or loops; such projections must be capable of engaging both top and bottom surfaces of the tiles so as to releasably secure a respective tile to the support.
  • An example of a suitable material having a multiplicity of fibrous projections is one of the two complementary parts of the material commercially available under the trade mark "Velcro", as described above; such a material is available commercially in the form of a tape.
  • the tiles used in the surface covering system according to the invention may be square, triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, or other s'pace-filling shape. If part of the surface area covered by the tiles becomes worn or soiled, then the relevant tiles can be removed and either washed, reversed or replaced in the worn or soiled area only.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic cross-section of a surface covering system according to the invention (the parts are shown slightly separated for clarity );
  • Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of a first embodiment of a surface covering system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of a second embodiment of a surface covering system according to the invention .
  • an elon ⁇ gate tape 1 having a smooth undersurface 2 secured to a floor 3; the upper surface 4 of the tape has a multiplicity of hook-like fibrous projections 5 along the length thereof.
  • the fibrous projections 5 engage the fibrous underlayer 6 of a tile 7 which is symmetrical about a horizontal plane of symmetry.
  • the tile 7 has a fibrous upper layer 8 which is equally capable of engaging the fibrous projections 5 on reversal of the tile.
  • the fibrou upper layer 8 is bonded to the fibrous underlayer 6 by means of a bonding layer 9.

Abstract

Le système comprend deux parties, une bande (1) ayant une multiplicité de protubérances fibreuses (5) semblables à des crochets, et du matériau à carreaux (7). La bande est fixée à un plancher, par exemple, de sorte à ne pas couvrir plus de 60% de la surface. Les carreaux comprennent un plan de symétrie (9) et sont totalement réversibles; tant leurs couches supérieures que leurs couches inférieures (8, 6) sont fibreuses et susceptibles d'accrocher les protubérances fibreuses (5).
