Abstract:
1. A modular floor tile comprising: a first compound body molded from a first polymer compound and having an upper surface and a lower surface; at least one second compound body overmolded onto the first compound body using a second polymer compound that is different from the first polymer compound, the second compound body extending from a fill point of the second compound body point disposed adjacent the lower surface of the first compound body and remote from the upper surface of the first compound body, to a plurality of ends of the second compound body remote from the fill point and spaced from each other; a plurality of through-holes spaced apart from each other and formed from the lower surface of the first compound body to the upper surface of the first compound body; for each through-hole, a vent hole spaced from the through-hole and extending from the upper surface of the first compound body to the lower surface of the first compound body; a plurality of upper features each formed on the upper surface of the first compound body as a portion of the second compound body, each upper feature laterally spaced apart from the other upper features, each upper, feature extending along the upper surface of the first compound body to cover a respective through-hole and a respective vent hole; and the second compound body extending into the vent holes from respective ones of the upper features, the ends of the second compound body joined by the second compound body to the fill point of the second compound body only by respective paths extending through respective ones of the through holes.
