Abstract: The disclosure provides solutions to mitigate discharges from electrostatic build up in floor-coverings when using a floor-covering storage and dispensing unit. Static build up occurs when two materials that are in physical contact are separated such that the materials have an excess or shortage of electrons. Static discharge is the sudden flow of electric current when differently charged materials are brought into contact or proximity. Static discharge can be uncomfortable, even dangerous, to humans, animals, and sensitive electronic equipment. Disclosed embodiments reduce or eliminate electrostatic build up within the unit by providing a permanent electrical path from the roller shafts to a frame of the unit and then to ground. Disclosed embodiments a bracket assembly, with a wiper arm that provides reliable but flexible contact with the roller shaft.

Abstract: A large-area protective covering system for installation in a staggered or grid configuration is provided comprised of a plurality of essentially identical large area panels with honeycomb internal structures which have locking systems on the sides and ends for locking the panels in place. The panels, once locked together have little movement along their x, y or z axis.
