The present disclosure discloses a quickly dismantlable floor member and a spliced floor, to solve the technical problem that the conventional floor members cannot be dismantled conveniently for repairing and replacement. The quickly dismantlable floor member is of a tetragon shape, a lateral face of a first side of the quickly dismantlable floor member is provided with an automatic latch, the automatic latch comprises a locking head, the locking head is retractable, and the locking head is able to, after the quickly dismantlable floor member is installed, join with an neighboring conventional floor member. The spliced floor employs three or more quickly dismantlable floor members.

The present invention relates to a panel, in particular a floor panel, interconnectable with similar panels for forming a covering. The invention also relates to a covering consisting of mutually connected floor panels according to the invention.

A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more resilient compression elements joined with the spacer block. The resilient compression elements can be vertically compressible so at least a portion of it can move from an open mode to a compression mode and fit within, then forcibly expand within, the groove, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. Related methods of use also are provided.

A method is provided for manufacturing a panel that includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may include a decor film and a transparent film. The decor film may be a printed synthetic material film chosen from the group consisting of a vinyl-based film, a polyethylene based film, a polyurethane based film, and a polypropylene film. A print may be situated on an upper side of the printed synthetic material film. The transparent film may be a thermoplastic synthetic material film the material of which is chosen from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyurethane, and polypropylene. The method may involve providing the decor film and the transparent film on the substrate by performing a first press treatment at an increased temperature to form a package of the substrate, the decor film, and the transparent film. The first press treatment may be performed by a calendar device or a continuous press device. A structure may be formed in the thermoplastic synthetic material that forms a surface of the package by performing a second press treatment using a press device with a structured press element at a temperature that is lower than the increased temperature.

Disclosed are a ceramic tile leveling bracket, pushing and clamping pliers and a ceramic tile leveling and laying system. The ceramic tile leveling and laying system comprises: a ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), an insertion block (2) and pushing and clamping pliers (3), wherein the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1) is provided at the junction between two adjacent ceramic tiles (4), one end of the insertion block (2) is inserted into an insertion block through hole (16) of the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), and the pushing and clamping pliers (3) push and clamp the insertion block (2) into the insertion block through hole (16), so that an insertion block bottom surface (21) is tangent to upper surfaces of the two ceramic tiles (4). The ceramic tile leveling and laying system is easy to operate, and helps to improve the laying efficiency and laying quality.

Interlocking modular tile frames for joining hard tiles without requiring a substrate adhesive (thin-set mortar) or grout. Each tile frame comprises integrated segments that form a rigid or semi-rigid enclosure to hold a single hard tile within its interior. Each segment has an upside-down T-shape cross-section comprising a column and a base. The columns, which frames a tile, eliminate the need for grout. An inserted tile rests on the base while being held in place by the column along each segment. One or more mechanical interconnections are located at an outer portion of each enclosure corner to couple adjacent frames together. A stain-resistant material such as but not limited to polyethylene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), acrylic, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), nylon, rubber, or a combination thereof, can be used for the frames.

A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more board engagement elements. The board engagement elements can engage the groove of the board, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. Related methods of use also are provided.

A modular attic walkway system for creating a walkway across attic joists which includes a plurality of attic joists each has a top face. A plurality of platforms is removably attached to the top faces such that each platform traverses between adjacent attic joists. Each of the platforms is releasably interlocked with an adjacent one of the platforms. Each platform includes a panel. The panel has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter surface which extends between the top and bottom surfaces. The perimeter surface includes a first mating edge, a second mating edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge. The first mating edge includes a tongue cutout which extends inwardly from the first mating edge toward the second mating edge. A tongue extension extends outwardly away from the second mating edge and releasably interlocks with a tongue cutout of an adjacently positioned panel.

A panel may include a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may include a printed motif provided on a paper sheet and a transparent or translucent synthetic material layer. The paper sheet may be impregnated with polyurethane or polyisocyanate. The synthetic material of the transparent or translucent synthetic material layer may be polyurethane.

Flexible support screens and tile spacers for floating tile floor systems are described herein. The flexible support screens include a compressible body that is configured to engage a top surface of a structure. The compressible body has a plurality of channels configured to direct a fluid through the compressible body. The flexible support screen has a variable rate of compression upon receiving a force directed upon either the upper surface or the lower surface. The adhesive tiles spacers have a first side surface for engaging a first tile and a second side surface opposed to the first side surface for engaging a second tile. The adhesive spacers are configured to be compressible to absorb movement of the first tile and the second tile towards or away from each other.
