Impact and energy absorbing product for floors, walls, and other flat surfaces

An impact and energy absorbing assembly for floors, walls, crash mats and other flat surfaces comprising:

• a spring (12);
• which comprises a spring first end (12A) and spring second end (12B);
• a first flared insert (14) affixed to spring (12) at the spring first end (12A), the flared insert (14) generally conical in configuration, tapered such that an outer edge of the first flared insert (14) is of a greater diameter than an inner edge of the first flared insert (14) which comes in contact with the spring first end (12A);
• a second flared insert (46) affixed to spring (12) at the spring second end (12B), the flared insert (16) generally conical in configuration, tapered such that an outer edge of the second flared insert (16) is of a greater diameter than an inner edge of the second flared insert (16) which comes in contact with the spring second end (12B);
• a receiving member (18), comprising a top surface (18A), bottom surface (18B), and molded female slot (20), molded female slot (20) in the form of a tapered, generally conical aperture, functioning to slidingly receive first flared insert (14) therein, receiving member (18) rigidly affixed to a previously determined flat surface;
• and
• an outermost panel (22) which covers the plurality of springs of the assembly, the outermost panel exposed and functioning to receive primary forces of humans and object coming in contact therewith, with the plurality of springs receiving secondary forces, the flat surface receiving additional forces, and only remaining dissipated forces distributed to the body of one coming in contact with the outermost panel (22).
