Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0373724A2] In a method for keeping a readily removable mat or similar small carpet (5) in place in a carpeted or carpet tile covered floor area (1), whereby the mat (5) is provided with a surface pattern of engageable means, such as protrutions (6), projections or cleats, distributed all over its lower side, one or more parts (2) of the floor area (1) to be covered by the mat (5) is kept or made free from carpeting or carpet tile covering, said one or more uncovered parts (2) of the floor area (1) is covered with an anchoring plate material (7), the upper surface of which is adapted to be flush with the upper surface of the carpet or carpet tile covering and in a way known per se is also performed with engageable means, such as cleats or projections, to engage the lower side of the mat (5) between its engageable means for preventing lateral displacement of the mat relative to the anchoring plate material, whereby the mat (5) is laid in place for at least covering the anchoring plate material (7) and for providing engagement between its lower side and the upper surface of the anchoring plate material (7) by means of said engageable means, and the anchoring plate material preferably having a thickness and a compressibility essentially corresponding to that of the carpet or carpet tiles of said covering. Thereby is obtained that a mat may be easily replaced and no risk occurs for the people walking on the carpeted area (1) during that phase of the replacement where one mat has been removed but the replacement mat has not yet been laid in place.
