Abstract: A ventilated flooring system may generally include a base, a substructure, a top surface, a control box, an air mover, and a sensor. The base, the substructure, and the top surface may form a floor within which the sensor is disposed. The sensor may measure properties of air within the floor, sending measurements to the control box. The control box may activate and deactivate the air mover based on measurements from the sensor and control logic. In some examples, the air mover is connected to an HVAC system and routes air output from the HVAC system into the floor. Further, the ventilated flooring system may also include a second sensor for measuring ambient air, an alarm for providing notice of malfunctions, and/or networking capability that allows for remote monitoring of the system.
Abstract: A resilient cantilevered athletic flooring system wherein a multiplicity of flexible rectangular panels having an anchor strip secured under the panels along the longitudinal centerline of the panels and multiple nailer strips attached to the top of the panels and to either side of the centerline and multiple resilient pads secured to the underside of the panel under the nailer strips and the panels are secured to a prepared base by passing anchors through the panels and the anchor strips. Multiple panels are secured side by side and end to end to cover the flooring venue and a wear floor is secured to the nailer strips to complete the installation.
