Spacer Assembly For Aircraft Flooring

Abstract

A spacer assembly for flooring systems, such as for aircraft flooring, includes a spacer panel and one or more flooring panels. The spacer panel includes a core layer and a bottom layer. The core layer has a top face and a bottom face and the bottom layer has a lower face and an upper face that is bonded to the bottom face of the core layer. The lower face of the bottom layer is located adjacent to a structural floor and the bottom layer slides over the structural floor. The one or more flooring panels connect to the top face of the core layer, where the flooring panel and the spacer panel slide over the structural floor. Two or more flooring panels can be connected, such as by an adhesive material, to a spacer panel with a sealant member between the flooring panels to avoid infiltrations of liquids.
