Abstract
Presented herein, is a modular tactile flooring system. The tactile flooring system is made from individual modules that each support a tactile transducer. The individual modules may be assembled to form a tactile dance floor. More specifically, the modules may interlock to form a single dance floor surface. Further, the modules may be individually leveled to provide a level surface even when an underlying support surface is uneven. that facilitates assembly of a tactile sound floor and readily permits the tactile sound floor to be assembled in a desired location.
Claims15
A tactile sound flooring module, comprising:
- a rectangular plate having a planar upper surface;
- a frame having an upper edge attached about a lower peripheral edge of a bottom surface of the rectangular plate and extending transversely away from the bottom surface of the rectangular plate to a lower edge;
- wherein first and second adjacent edges of the rectangular plate extend over outside edges of the frame and third and fourth adjacent edges of the rectangular plate are set back from outside edges of the frame;
- a tactile transducer attached to the bottom surface of the rectangular plate, wherein the tactile transducer is disposed within an open interior of the frame;
- and
- at least first and second supports attached to the frame and having a portion extending transversely outward beyond an outer edge of the frame, wherein the first and second supports are configured to support a frame of an adjacent tactile sound floor module.

A tactile flooring system, comprising:
- first and second tactile sound modules each having:
- a plate disposed over a frame attached about a lower peripheral edge of a bottom surface of the plate and extending transversely away from the bottom surface of the plate to a bottom edge;
- support feet supporting the bottom edge of the frame above a support surface;
- and
- a tactile transducer attached to the bottom surface of the plate;
- and
- wherein one side of the frame of the second module is supported on a frame support attached to an adjacent side of the frame of the first module and wherein an edge of the plate of the first module or the second module extends over an outside edge of the frame of the other of the first module and the second module and is supported by the other module.
