  • Patent number: 10584498
    Abstract: A floor panel having a foam pad and a laminated surface is contemplated. The foam pad includes a plurality of male and female fastening mechanisms. The laminated surface is attached to the foam pad and exposed to foot traffic. The panel is configured to be installed on an installation surface and interconnect with additional floor panels via the male and female fastening mechanisms to form a sports floor for a sports activity. Interconnections between the panel and the additional panels have no gaps or gaps small enough without interfering the sports activity. The panel is configured to be removable from the installation surface by disengaging the male and female fastening mechanisms interconnected with the additional floor panels. The panels can be easily installed and removed and have improved shock absorbency. The panels are portable and have a simple structure that aids in manufacturing, reduces cost, and are easy to clean.
