Modular floor tile

Abstract

Disclosed is a modular floor tile, comprising a tile body and a splicing bar. The tile body consists of a base and a surface layer where the surface layer is used as an appearance for the modular floor tile. The base has a first slot and a second slot disposed on two opposing parallel sides of the bottom of the base. The splicing bar is partially embedded in the first slot in a manner to form an protruding portion matched to the second slot where the remainder of the top surface on the protruding portion is used to adhere to the second slot of an adjacent tile body. Therefore, the amount of adhesive used can be reduced while maintaining effective adhesion and adhesive overflow is avoided.

1 . A modular floor tile comprising:
 a tile body having a base and a surface layer disposed on the base to provide a visual appearance for the modular floor tile, wherein a first slot and a second slot are formed on two opposing parallel sides of a bottom of the base; and   a splicing bar having a top surface partially attached to the first slot in a manner to form a protruding portion protruding from the first slot and matched to the second slot in shape, wherein the exposed top surface on the protruded portion has a width configured for adhering to the second slot of an adjacent tile body.   
     
     
         2 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the splicing bar is equal to each depth of the first slot and the second slot, wherein each depth of the first slot and the second slot is not larger than one-fourth of the thickness of the tile body. 
     
     
         3 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a width of the splicing bar is equal to or less than a width that is the sum of the widths of the first slot and the second slot. 
     
     
         4 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a width of the splicing bar is larger than a width that is the sum of the widths of the first slot and the second slot. 
     
     
         5 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splicing bar has a single-sided adhesive where adhesive is applied only on the top surface of the splicing bar. 
     
     
         6 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splicing bar has a double-sided adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tile body is a rectangular strip. 
     
     
         8 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the length of the splicing bar is not larger than the corresponding length of the tile body. 
     
     
         9 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the surface layer has a visual appearance selected from the stet consisting of wood grains, stones, and tiles. 
     
     
         10 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splicing bar is made from flexible polyvinyl chloride. 
     
     
         11 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first slot and the second slot are parallel L-shaped gaps with equal widths and lengths. 
     
     
         12 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tile body with an adjacent tile body in an adjacent row are installed in staggered format. 
     
     
         13 . The modular floor tile as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an adhesive disposed on the exposed top surface on the protruding portion; and   a release film disposed on the adhesive.
