The support structure may be formed with a spine having at least one rail extending outward from a distal end thereof. The spine and rail(s) may be configured to secure one or more tiles, which tiles may be formed with a groove on at least one edge thereof, and wherein one or more rails may be positioned within the groove.

Various embodiments of tiles or devices that are used to create a structure used to cover a floor other surface are described. Preferred tiles or devices comprise one or more magnetized surfaces that may comprise one or more magnets or ferrous material. The magnetized surfaces can be used to magnetically couple adjacent tiles or devices to form the flooring or other structure. In some embodiments, the tiles or device may comprise one or more routed edges.

Described is a set of panels (1,2), each panel comprising: ⋅ a top surface (5) and a bottom surface (4); ⋅ a first edge (6) and a second edge (7) parallel to the first edge (6), said edges (6, 7) extending between said top and bottom surfaces (5, 4); ⋅ a first groove (10) provided in the bottom surface (4) of each panel, said first groove (10) extending parallel to and along the first edge (6) of the panel; ⋅ a second groove (11) provided in the bottom surface (4) of each panel, said second groove (11) extending parallel to the first groove (10) along the second edge (7) of the panel; ⋅ a locking profile (3) allowing locking a first panel (1) with its first edge (6) to the second edge (7) of a second panel (2), said locking profile (3) comprising a base (16) and at least three protruding rims (17, 18, 19) extending parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the locking profile (3), a first rim (17) pressed in the first groove (10) of a first panel (1) and a second rim (18) situated in between the first and third rims (17, 19) of each locking profile (3) and cooperating with a part of the first panel (1) such that a section (13) of the bottom surface (4) of the first panel (1) is clamped between the first rim and the second rim (17, 18) of the locking profile (3), the third rim (19) configured to fit in the second groove (11) of a second panel (2) thereby locking the second panel (2) to the first panel (1), characterised in that at least the second rim (18) is continuous along the entire length of the locking profile (3). Further described is a method of manufacturing the set of panels.

An agricultural animal house modular flooring system is provided, the flooring being particularly suited to poultry housing due to the structure of the flooring which facilitates cleaning, minimizes build-up of manure, bacteria and pathogens, and reduces risk of injury to the poultry. A plurality of interconnecting flooring panels and a plurality of panel support beams are provided. The panels each have pluralities of side flanges and recesses and end bosses and apertures for coupling the panel to a horizontally adjacent panel. The support beams provide interlocking engagement with the panels, prevent lateral disengagement of the panels, and distribute load from the panels and flanges to lower regions of the support beams to provide a support base of optimal strength and durability. The modular design of the flooring system provides for easy installation, assembly and disassembly of the flooring system.

A set of essentially identical subfloor panels including a joint configured to be glued, wherein the joint includes an element at a strip which protrudes from a first joint edge at an edge of a panel and an element groove at an adjacent edge. The joint includes a flexible tongue which is configured to cooperate, in the joined position, with a tongue groove for positioning of the panel relative the adjacent panel in a first vertical direction. The joint is configured for a joining of the edge and the adjacent edge by a vertical motion of the edge relative the adjacent edge. A space above the strip and between the element and the first joint edge is configured to be filled partly or completely with a glue before the edge and the adjacent edge are joined.

A profiled rail system (1) for covering at least one flooring end (11) comprises a base profiled rail (2) and a covering profiled rail (3), being connectable with each other by means of a mounting profiled rail (4). The covering profiled rail (3) comprising at least one covering wing (10) for overlapping the flooring end (11). The covering profiled rail (3) is mountable on the mounting profiled rail (4). The base profiled rail (2) comprises holding means for connecting the mounting profiled rail (4). Between the base profiled rail (2) and the mounting profiled rail (4) at least one elastic body (20) is provided, holding the mounting profiled rail (4) in an unloaded situation in a predefined position. The mounting profiled rail (4) can be pivoted relatively to the base profiled rail (2) by means of elastically deformation of the elastic body (20).

A tile spacing device and accompanying system and method are disclosed for spacing multiple tiles. In one embodiment, a central body has four arms extending therefrom with a releasably frangible connection. Each of the four arms has a cellular sheet structure defined by multiple cells, including at least one hexagonal cell. The central body and the four arms provide a four-tile engagement configuration. By selectively breaking and removing an arm, a three-tile engagement configuration may also be provided.

A mat assembly includes a center section and four ramps that create a unitary mat assembly for any desired use. The center section includes a top plate that provides the desired kind of mat surface for use and a sponge layer underlying the top plate to provide the center section with a cushioned feel during use. Each ramp includes a flange that extends from an end portion of the ramp, the flange configured to be joined between the top plate and sponge insert. The ramps can be joined to each other using a connector or a mitered connection.
