Publication number: 20230203824Abstract: An assembly apparatus for assembling a floor panel can include a platform to support a base layer and a top layer of the floor panel. The platform can include a first wall configured to contact a first edge of the base layer and a first edge of the top layer. The platform can further include second wall adjacent to the first wall and configured to contact a second edge of the base layer and a second edge of the top layer. A sensor unit can determine whether the first edge of the base layer is aligned with the first edge of the top layer, and whether the second edge of the base layer is aligned with the second edge of the top layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: SNAP LOCK INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Jorgen J. Moller, JR., Jeremiah D. Shapiro

Patent number: 11274454Abstract: A floor tile including a plurality of ribs defining an upper surface of the floor tile, each rib comprising a flat top configured to be parallel with a floor, wherein a thickness of each rib tapers toward the flat top. The flat top configuration increases wet weather traction by transitioning into a specific taper to decrease the surface tension so that water will effectively wet off and not affect traction. The understructure of the tile can have commercial load bearing capacity and built in channels for water drainage.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Snap Lock Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jorgen J. Moller, Jr., Jeremiah D. Shapiro

Publication number: 20210346785Abstract: A sports court can include a set of modular floor panels or tiles that are interconnected with each other and that have material compositions configured to provide increased friction when a ball or other game piece comes into contact with the top surface of the panels or tiles. The sports court can be used to decrease the speed or otherwise affect bounce behavior of a game ball as compared to a concrete slab or similar underlying surface on which the floor panels are positioned, thereby giving the court performance characteristics more similar to a conventional court used for ball sports such as tennis and pickleball and that are improved as compared to conventional rigid floor tiles. The material compositions can include rubberized or elastomeric materials with coefficients of friction measured using standardized testing procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: SNAP LOCK INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Jorgen J. Moller, JR., Jeremiah D. Shapiro
