The present document relates to surface covering panel assembly for installation over a receiving surface and under a top layer. The surface covering panel assembly includes substantially identical surface covering panels. Each one of the surface covering panels includes a sheet member made of a first flexible material, the sheet member defining a first surface for interfacing with the top layer and a second surface, a padding layer panel made of a second flexible material, the padding layer panel defining a first surface for partially covering the second surface defined by the sheet member and a second surface for interfacing with the receiving surface, and an edge being adapted for releasable attachment to one of the at least other substantially identical surface covering panel.

A safety component for a skating rink. The safety component comprises a body portion connectable to a transparent barrier located above dasher boards of the skating rink, wherein upon impact the body portion is capable of at least partially absorbing impact forces. The safety component further comprises a curved rink-facing surface that provides a substantially convex curved surface facing the skating rink. The curved rink-facing surface has a radius of curvature suitable for redirecting the impact forces away from the convex curved surface.

A device for covering a surface and includes: (a) a covering of which each longitudinal edge is provided with a longitudinal strip ending in a flap; (b) a rotatably mounted drum capable of winding or unwinding the covering, and movable on rails placed on either side of said surface; (c) a system for continuous locking/unlocking of the flap in the rails during the translation of the drum, in which the covering includes at least one flap which makes it possible to isolate the portion of the longitudinal strip corresponding to the stuck flap portion, either from the atmosphere contained between the inner surface of the deployed covering portion and the covered surface portion, or from solar radiation.

A device for covering a surface including a substantially rectangular cover (10) having first and second longitudinal edges each provided with a protruding convex bead (12) having a minimum diameter (d), two rails (6) including a groove, the opening (14) of which has a maximum width (Lo), a drum (2) that is able to move above the surface in order to deploy or retrieve the cover, an insertion system (16) for continuous insertion of the convex bead (12) into the groove. The convex head (12) of each longitudinal edge and the groove of the corresponding rail are configured such that, once inserted into the space (14e) by the insertion system, the convex bead occupying the space alone cannot be removed solely by the action of a force (F) applied parallel to the transverse axis (Y) in the direction of the surface to be covered.

A cover assembly may include a housing and an elongated cover. The housing defines a chamber therein. The chamber is disposable in the ground adjacent to a side of the sand area of the jump pit. The elongated cover has a first end, a second end, and spaced-apart sides extending from the first end to the second end. The elongated cover is storable in a compacted configuration in the chamber of the housing below the surface of the ground, and the elongated cover is removable from the chamber and extendable in an uncompacted configuration over the sand area of the jump pit to conceal the sand area.
