A wall trimming (also called a corner guard) is provided for protecting a corner of a wall. The corner guard is an elongated body in an L-shape having recessed portions within inner surface facing the wall. The recessed portions hold magnets configured to hold the corner guard using magnetic attraction to a magnetic material fixed inside the wall, which may be a metal corner bead or magnetic inserts, for example. The recessed portions may be dimensioned according to the dimensions of the insert magnets, such that magnets are flush with the inner surface of the corner guard. The corner guard may have three layers with the recessed portions cut out of the inner layer, a decorative pattern cut into the outer layer, and the middle layer providing a backstop to prevent the recessed portions and magnets from being visible through the decorative pattern cut into the outer layer.

Floor panels include a top portion that is molded from a plastic material. The top portion has a substantially planar top surface and side surfaces. The side surfaces depend downward from the substantially planar top surface forming a cavity in an underside of the substantially planar top surface. A bottom support structure fills the cavity, thereby providing support and shock absorption to the substantially planar top surface.

A modular inflatable protection system for protecting an item is provided. The system includes a plurality of inflatable modules, each of the modules having an inflatable body; a gas valve configured to receive a gas to inflate the inflatable body; a first connection portion; and a second connection portion. The first connection portion is configured to removably connect a first one of the modules to the second connection portion of a second one of the modules, the first connection portion can be reused to connect the first one of the modules to the second connection portion of a third one of the modules, and the system is configured to provide a barrier to protect the item from damaging contact by a potentially damaging element.

A floor panel with shock and vibration control and method of manufacture. A first sound dampening layer is positioned between a top layer and a bottom layer of the floor panel. The first sound dampening layer has a series of hills and valleys and is made of material which provides a low natural frequency in response to a dynamic impact and transforms energy into heat in response to a high energy impact. The second sound dampening layer extends from the bottom layer in a direction away from the top layer. The second sound dampening layer is a plurality of preformed rings. The first sound dampening layer and the second sound dampening layer reduce the amount of energy transferred from the floor panel to a structure on which the floor panel is positioned.

A floor panel with shock and vibration control and method of manufacture. The floor panel includes a top layer, a bottom layer, an intermediate layer and a preformed sound dampening layer. The intermediate layer is positioned between the first layer and the second layer. The intermediate layer provides a low natural frequency in response to a dynamic impact and transforms energy into heat in response to a high energy impact. The intermediate layer has a density which is less than a density of the bottom layer. The preformed sound dampening layer extends from the bottom layer in a direction away from the top layer. The sound dampening layer has a density which is less than the density of the bottom layer. The intermediate layer and the sound dampening layer reduce the amount of energy transferred from the floor panel to a structure on which the floor panel is positioned.

An impact damping mat comprises a base layer having a base surface with a plurality of protuberances, a damping layer overlying the base layer, a load distribution layer overlying the damping layer and an upper layer overlying the load distribution layer and having a planar top surface. The materials and dimensions of the layers cooperate to provide a selected rebound characteristic and a selected sound reduction characteristic.

A reversible resilient wall padding apparatus includes a reversible resilient wall pad and at least one pad connector. The pad includes front, rear, and peripherally-extending sides, and at least one side connector disposed along the peripheral-extending side. The pad connector includes a first portion releasably attachable to the side connector, and a second portion attachable to a vertical surface of a wall. The pad is attachable in a first orientation with the front side facing outwardly and the first portion of the pad connector being attached to the side connector, and the second portion of the pad connector being disposed adjacent to the rear surface of the pad and the vertical surface of the wall, and a second orientation with the rear side of the pad facing outwardly and the first portion of the pad connector being attached to the side connector, and the second portion of the pad connector being disposed adjacent to the front surface of the pad and the vertical surface of the wall.

Interlocking panels have a top portion and side edges. Multiple panels are interlocked together mechanically along the side edges by locking features. The top portion includes a substantially planar top surface, side edges, and interlocking features. The bottom support structure is made of a shock absorption material that fits under the substantially planar top surface, thereby providing support and cushioning to the substantially planar top surface. The interlocking feature includes, for example, sides alternating between sides that have protrusions (upward or downward) and sides that have receivers for the protrusions.

A sports flooring in the form of a tile or plank with free installation and including coupling with an adjacent tile or plank. The flooring includes successively, from top to bottom, and bonded together: a surface layer including at least one flexible layer with a thickness between 0.3 mm and 1 mm and a compression modulus between 10 MPa and 100 MPa; a rigid intermediate layer with a thickness between 3.5 mm and 7 mm and a flexural modulus between 1000 MPa and 10,000 MPa, and a compression modulus between 35 MPa and 300 MPa; a shock-absorbing underlayer with a thickness greater than 3 mm, typically between 3 mm and 10 mm, and preferably between 5 mm and 10 mm, and a compression modulus between 0.5 MPa and 15 MPa.
