The present invention is an ergonomic safety work mat which includes a modular ergonomic wooden platform with a synthetic tapered marginal border. The purpose of this invention is to provide occupational workers with a therapeutic, forgiving work surface to protect them from the health risks of working, walking and standing on a concrete floor or common anti-fatigue mat used in many factories today. The wooden platform is raised off the floor to offer suspension, thus promoting a spring effect for absorbing and returning compression force resulting in reduced stress loads and compression force for people who work, walk or stand fort extended periods of time. This product is modular in design so that the tapered borders of separate modular sections connect for a snug fit. The vertical edges of the wood sections also have connection points that provide a leveling effect and further enhance the fit of the module sections. 1.

Flooring material has an anti-slip, noise reducing pad directly self-adhered to a bottom surface. The pad is formed by applying a foamable PVC material is directly on the bottom surface of the flooring and heating the PVC material to foam the PVC material. The PVC material may then be cooled to form the pad with a definite formed shape having a resilient outer surface layer and a spongy foamy inner structure. 1. Flooring material comprising a substrate having a bottom surface with a backing layer for reducing slip and noise when the flooring material is in use , the backing layer comprising a polyvinyl chloride material adhered to the flooring without using other adhesive material , the polyvinyl chloride material having a foamed inner structure with a resilient outer surface layer , the polyvinyl chloride material being adapted and configured to foam to form the foamed inner structure when sufficiently heated , the polyvinyl chloride material being adapted and configured to produce the resilient outer surface layer when the polyvinyl material is sufficiently quenched after being heated.2.

A physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous foam structure derived from recycled metallized polyolefin material; polypropylene, polyethylene, or combinations thereof, a crosslinking agent, and a chemical blowing agent is obtained. The foam structure is obtained by extruding a structure comprising a foam composition, irradiating the extruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure. 1. A method of forming a structure comprising:extruding a structure comprising 5-75 wt. % recycled metallized polyolefin material; 25-95 wt. % polypropylene, polyethylene, or combinations thereof; a crosslinking agent; and a chemical blowing agent.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the extruding is performed by a co-rotating claim 1 , twin screw extruder at a specific energy of at least 0.090 kW·hr/kg.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recycled metallized polyolefin material is small enough to pass through a standard sieve of 0.375 inches.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recycled metallized polyolefin material has metal layer(s) with an overall thickness of 0.003-100 μm prior to recycling.5. The method of comprising polypropylene having a melt flow index of 0.1-25 grams per 10 minutes at 230° C.6. The method of comprising polyethylene having a melt flow index of 0.1-25 grams per 10 minutes at 190° C.7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking agent is divinylbenzene.8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the chemical blowing agent is azodicarbonamide.9. A method of forming a foam structure comprising:extruding a structure comprising 5-75 wt. % recycled metallized polyolefin material; 25-95 wt. % polypropylene, polyethylene, or combinations thereof; a crosslinking agent; and a chemical blowing agent;irradiating the extruded structure with ionizing radiation; andfoaming the irradiated structure.10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the ionizing radiation is selected from the group consisting of alpha rays claim 9 , beta rays claim ...

SOUND ATTENUATING LAMINATE MATERIALS

Номер: US20210207367A1
Автор: Clausi Robert N., Diloreto Salvatore Anthony
Принадлежит:

Sound absorbing or attenuating laminate flooring materials are provided, which are directed to be used in the production of floor covering, floor panels, furniture panels, cabinets, counter-tops and wall panels. As well, the methods for producing such products are provided. In particular, abrasion resistant panels, with a laminated structure, created by forming an assembly which consists of laminating a heat-activated resin impregnated paper wear layer, a decorative layer with printed graphics or a wood veneer decorative layer, a medium density (MDF) or high-density (HDF) natural fiber-based core and a resin impregnated paper balancing layer. To achieve sound absorbing and/or attenuating properties, any or all paper layers may be pre coated with an additional flexible elastomeric coating, film or material prior to assembly of the panel, or the natural fiber core panel may be coated with a flexible elastomeric coating, film or material prior to assembly with the papers. The flexible elastomeric coating, film or material acts to absorb, reduce, and/or ameliorate the sound transmissions inherent in laminated panels. 122-. (canceled)23. A floor panel comprising:a core; anda plurality of layers positioned on at least one side of the core,wherein said floor panel has an elastomeric material; andwherein said core has been coated with the elastomeric material or at least one of said layers is a treated layer, said treated layer being a layer having thereon a coating of the elastomeric material or being a film of the elastomeric material.24. A floor panel as claimed in claim 23 , wherein said elastomeric material comprises a natural or synthetic resin with elastomeric properties and is based on a one component or multi-component claim 23 , thermoset claim 23 , thermoplastic (TPE) claim 23 , polymer.25. A floor panel as claimed in claim 24 , wherein said elastomeric material is a resin based on polyurethane resins claim 24 , polyethylene resins claim 24 , Polypropylene resins ...

SKID-RESISTANT FLOOR BOARD WITH PARALLEL LOCKING ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE

Номер: US20180187424A1

Disclosed is a skid-resistant floor board with parallel locking engagement structure, including a main body and an adhesive layer, which is stacked on and overlaps an undersurface of the main body. The adhesive layer has a surface that is provided for contacting and engaging a ground surface and includes a plurality of raised ribs projecting therefrom. Through the inclusion of a glass fiber layer in the main body and extension of the glass fiber layer into the parallel locking projection, the tensile strength and the bending strength of the product, after being jointed, are significantly increased and are much greater than a product without the glass fiber layer so that the product performance is greatly improved and improved resistance against skidding can be achieved. 1. A floor board with parallel locking engagement structure , comprising a main body and an adhesive layer , the adhesive layer being stacked on and overlapping an undersurface of the main body , the adhesive layer having a surface adapted to contact and engage a ground surface and comprising a plurality of raised ribs formed on and projecting the surface of the adhesive layer , the plurality of raised ribs forming a plurality of enclosed cavity-like suction cups , which are attachable to the ground surface through a suction force induced between the suction cups and the ground surface so as to resist skidding of the floor board relative to the ground surface , wherein the main body comprises at least two joint surfaces , one of the joint surfaces comprising a parallel locking projection integrally formed thereon and projecting outward therefrom , another one of the joint surfaces comprising a parallel locking groove formed therein through recessing to be mateable and engageable with the parallel locking projection , the main body comprising a glass fiber layer embedded therein , the glass fiber layer extending into the parallel locking projection;wherein the glass fiber layer is a separate layer ...
