Composite modular floor tile

A modular floor tile comprising:

• a. a top member including a plurality of sidewalls, each said sidewall having alternating projections and recesses formed therein, said projections and recesses being arranged so that the projections and recesses on selected sidewalls of the tile mate with the projections and recesses on selected sidewalls of an adjacent tile when adjacent tiles are joined;
• b. a support member made of a resilient, impact-absorbing material secured to an underside of said top member for supporting the top member in spaced relation to an underlying support surface;
• and
• c. a series of coupling loops located in the recesses along selected sidewalls of said top member;
• and
• d. a series of posts located on said projections along selected sidewalls for engaging said coupling loops on an adjacent tile to secure the tiles together in side-by-side relationship.

A modular floor tile comprising:

• a. a top member including a plurality of sidewalls, each sidewall having a plurality of alternating projections and recesses, wherein the projections and recesses on a first set of selected sidewalls complement the projections and recesses on a second set of sidewalls to allow mating of adjacent tiles when the tiles are disposed in side-by-side relationship;
• b. a support member made of a resilient, impact-absorbing material secured to an underside of said top member for supporting the top member in spaced relation to an underlying support surface said support member including a bottom surface;
• c. a plurality of support nodes projecting downward from the bottom surface of said support member, said support nodes being spaced from one another so as to define an air circulation space between the bottom surface of the support member and the underlying support surface.
• d. a series of coupling loops extending outwardly from selected sidewalls of said top member;
• and
• e. a series of posts disposed along selected sidewalls for engaging said coupling loops on an adjacent tile to secure the tiles together in side-by-side relationship.

A modular floor tile comprising:

• a. a top member having a generally flat top surface and a plurality of sidewalls defining a cavity on the underside of said top member;
• b. a generally planar support member made of a resilient, impact-absorbing material adapted to fit into the cavity on the underside of said top member for supporting the top member in spaced relation to an underlying support surface;
• and
• c. a plurality of connectors for joining said tile to an adjacent tile.

A modular floor tile for constructing athletic playing surfaces comprising:

• a. a top surface;
• b. sidewalls extending down from said top surface having alternating projections and recesses formed therein, said projections and recesses being arranged so that the projections and recesses on selected sidewalls of the tile mate with the projections and recesses on selected sidewalls of an adjacent tile when adjacent tiles are joined;
• c. a series of first coupling members located in the recesses along selected sidewalls of said top member;
• and
• d. a series of second coupling on said projections along selected sidewalls for engaging said first coupling members on an adjacent tile to secure the tiles together in side-by-side relationship.
