Abstract
An anti-fatigue modular floor mat includes a set of interlocking tiles. Each tile comprises tabs that extend from an edge of the tile; the tabs can comprise a cavity and a pad opposite the cavity. The tiles can comprise indentations disposed on a bottom of the tile and laterally spaced from the tabs along the edge. Protrusions can extend from the indentation. The tabs can be configured to mate with corresponding indentations on corresponding tiles and the protrusions can be configured to be inserted into corresponding cavities to establish a multi-connection modular floor mat.
Claims20
A floor mat comprising:
- a set of interlocking tiles, each tile comprising:
- a tab protruding from a first edge of the tile, the tab comprising a pad and defining a cavity opposite the pad;
- an indentation disposed on a bottom of the tile and laterally spaced from the tab along the first edge;
- and
- a protrusion extending from the indentation;
- wherein the tab is configured to mate with a corresponding indentation on a corresponding tile;
- and
- wherein the protrusion is configured to be inserted into a corresponding cavity on a corresponding tab on the corresponding tile.
A method for interlocking two tiles to form a floor mat comprising:
- providing a first tile comprising:
- a tab protruding from an edge of the tile, the tab comprising a cavity and a pad opposite the cavity;
- an indentation disposed on a bottom of the tile and laterally spaced from the tab along the edge;
- and
- a protrusion extending from the indentation;
- providing a second tile comprising:
- a second tab protruding from an abutting edge of the second tile, the second tab comprising a second cavity and a second pad opposite the second cavity;
- a second indentation disposed on a bottom of the second tile and laterally spaced along the abutting edge from the second tab;
- and
- a second protrusion extending from the second indentation;
- mating the tab with the second indentation;
- and
- inserting the protrusion into the second cavity.
