Abstract: A shock mount is used for mounting a first member of a piece of furniture to a second member thereof. The shock mount includes an elastic portion and a metal portion secured to the elastic portion. The metal portion has an exposed surface of a shape which conforms to the first furniture member. The elastic portion is secured to the second furniture member, the exposed surface of the metal portion is adhesively secured to the first furniture member, and the elastic portion absorbs various loads imparted by the first and second furniture members.

Abstract: A method of resurfacing a worn wooden bowling lane comprises the steps of (a) smoothing the worn lane surface to a uniform level, (b) securing suitable underlayment panels to the surface of selected lane sections exposed to direct ball impact, (c) securing decorative panels of intermediate-density resin-bonded particle board to the surface of the remaining lane sections exposed only to rolling ball contact, and (d) securing a decorative, impact- and abrasion-resistant plastic laminate to the underlayment panels. The decorative panels simulate the appearance and bowling characteristics of natural wooden lanes.
