Patent number: 4835924Abstract: A self-gridding flooring system and method for installing the same in which various disclosed embodiments of gridding members are used for contacting and spacing the panels from one another as they are installed, thereby eliminating the necessity of measuring and establishing a gridding in advance of the installation of the panels. The method and apparatus provides a way of assuring that the installed panels are sufficiently spaced apart that any one or more of the panels may be removed and replaced by any geometrically similar replacement panel or panels having the same nominal dimensions and the same tolerance ranges without interference between the replacement panels and the previously-installed panels contiguous thereto. The invention is suitable for use with panels having legs and panels not having legs, and further is suitable for panels having any overall configuration, including rectangular panels and triangular panels.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1986Date of Patent: June 6, 1989Assignee: Tate Acess FloorsInventors: Peter A. Blacklin, Jonathan D. Bell
