Filed:

Jul 5, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/610394

Inventors:

Gary F. Bartlett - Muncy PA
Robert D. Kreitz - Williamsport PA

Assignee:

Construction Specialties, Inc. - Lebanon NJ

International Classification:

B32B 306

US Classification:

15215, 15161, 15217

Abstract:

A foot mat has a plurality of elongated rail members ( ) arranged closely adjacent each other with a gap between each adjacent pair of rail members. Each rail member is of uniform cross section along its length and includes a body portion ( ) and a pair of spaced-apart dependent leg portions ( ). An elongated tread member ( or ) is received on the upper surface of each rail member. Each adjacent pair of rail members is joined by an extruded plastic connector member ( ) that has a connecting web portion ( ) and a pair of generally U-shaped socket portions ( ). Each leg portion of each rail and each socket portion of each connecting member are configured to snap-fit together and have interengaging shoulders ( and ) that are configured to retain the leg portion in the socket portion. Each rail member has a pair of laterally spaced-apart dependent elongated anchor tab portions ( ), each of the anchor tab portions engaging a socket portion of one of the two connector members to which the rail member is coupled and having been plastically deformed to grip the socket portion so as to prevent longitudinal displacement of the rail member relative to the two connector members.

International Classification:

E04H 1714

US Classification:

256 6508, 256 59, 256 6516, 403 19, 4033741

Abstract:

A rail has an axially extending undercut groove of a uniform generally âCâ shape in cross section and is supported by supports attached to the rail in spaced-apart relation. Each support includes a bracket and a lock member attached to the bracket for rotation and against displacement of the lock member relative to the bracket member. The lock member includes a locking cam portion, which is received in the undercut groove and has a size and shape such that it can enter the undercut groove when it is in an unlocked rotational position relative to the undercut groove and such that it frictionally engages walls of the undercut groove in a locked rotational position relative to the undercut groove and thereby retains the rail against displacement relative to a structure that supports the rail.

US Classification:

5278411, 52232, 5280011, 5271701

Abstract:

A door is constructed with a separate member joined to the door edge by a tongue-and-groove coupling and screws so as to be readily removable and replaceable. The separate member sustains the impacts imparted to the door by carts or wagons pushed past the door and can be readily replaced when damaged, thus avoiding replacement of the entire door. A flexible cover snaps over the outer surface of the separate member to add impact resistance and aesthetic appeal. Intumescent strips may be inserted inside or outside of the cover to enhance sealing between the door, and as adjacent door or door frame, thereby improving the fire resistance rating of the door. Accent strips or reveals of contrasting or complementary colors may be incorporated to add to the aesthetic appeal of the door. The door construction is of particular utility in schools, health care facilities and other institutions.
