Portable shock-absorbing dance floor panel system

Abstract

A portable shock-absorbing dance floor system of identical assemblable square panels that may easily be interconnected to form an integrated dance floor surface. The floor system includes a plurality of floor panels, each having a top horizontal surface of rigid PVC and a bottom shock-absorbing surface of open-cell sponge rubber. The perimeter of each floor panel is lined with hook and loop fastener for attaching multiple panels securely together. The completed assembly provides a floor surface for home or studio use where a portable shock-absorbing floor is needed for dancing, specifically the percussive dance forms.

1 . A portable dance floor panel system comprising; 
 a horizontal bottom surface of open cell sponge rubber with shock-absorbing properties and having a top side and bottom side and thickness not less than substantially {fraction (1/4)} inch and perimeter edges connecting said top side and bottom side;    a horizontal top surface of rigid PVC and having a top side and bottom side and thickness not less than substantially {fraction (1/4)} inch and perimeter edges connecting said top side and bottom side;    wherein the panel has an edge of four vertical side surfaces of sponge rubber and rigid PVC forming the perimeter of the said floor panel section.    
   
   
       2 . A floor panel assembly as in  claim 1 , wherein the assembly is made of like portable sections removably secured contiguously together.
