Improvements in or relating to Pavements, Floors, Stairs,
and the like.
We, WILLIAM AUGUSTUS DELLAGANA, Gentleman, Cranmore, Merton Park, in
the County of Surrey, and WILLIAM HUDSON HAND, Major Kings Liverpool Regi-
ment, Grena Lodge, Richmond, in the County of Surrey, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to treads for stairs, pavements, ships decks (to replace
gratings) and the like, its object being to provide wearing surfaces therefor,
which shall be inexpensive and susceptible to ready and easy renewal, without
the use of tools.
According to this invention a retaining plate or layer is constructed to rest
upon or above the floor or bed, and to engage blocks or sections which project
sufficiently far above the retaining plate to receive the wear and can be readily
withdrawn when worn and replaced by new ones. Conveniently the blocks or
sections may be tapered or given any form which will enable them and
the retaining plate to become mutually engaged in such a manner that whilst
they cannot be accidentally removed from place can be readily withdrawn from
the underside of the retaining plate provided that the latter is first lifted up.
In order that the pavement or tread may be practically noiseless, indiarubber
or other cushioning material may be interposed between the blocks or sections and
the bed on which they rest, or between adjacent blocks or sections and contiguous
portions of the retaining plate or like material can be placed upon the tops of the
blocks or sections.
If desired there may be a bed-plate as well as a retaining plate, the bed-plate
and retaining plate being fastened together or caused to engage by any convenient
means to enable access to the bases of the blocks or sections to be readily obtained.
The blocks or sections and the retaining and bed-plates may be of wood (with
the grain, in the case of the blocks or sections, presented endwise to the wear) or
of indiarubber, glass, terra-cotta stone, or of any other metal, material, or
composition.
The surfaces exposed to the tread may be studded, roughened, or otherwise pre-
pared to avoid risk of slipping.

page_text: Major, King's Liverpool Regiment, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement, and referring to the accom-
panying drawings:
This invention relates to treads for stairs pavements ship decks (to replace
gratings) and the like its object being to provide wearing surfaces therefor
which shall be inexpensive and susceptible to ready and easy renewal without
the use of tools.
According to this invention a retaining plate or layer marked Don drawing
is constructed to rest upon or above the floor or bed and to engage blocks or sec-
tions marked E on drawing, which project sufficiently far above the retaining
plate to receive the wear and can be readily withdrawn when worn and replaced
by new ones. Conveniently the blocks or sections may be tapered or given any
form which will enable them and the retaining plate to become mutually engaged
in such a manner that whilst they cannot be acidentally removed from place can
be readily withdrawn from the underside of the retaining plate 1 provided that
the latter is first lifted up. In order that the pavement or tread may be practi-
cally noiseless indiarubber or other cushioning material as indicated at Foa
drawing may be interposed between the blocks or sections and the bed on which
they rest, or between adjacent blocks or sections and contiguous portions of the
retaining plate or like material can be placed upon the tops of the blocks or
sections. If desired there may be a bed plate where marked G on drawing as well
as a retaining plate, the bed plate and retaining plate being fastened together by
screws passing through holes in the bed plate and retaining plate into inter-
mediate wooden fillets or caused to engage by any convenient means to enable
access to the bases of the blocks or sections to be readily obtained as shown at H
on drawing.
The blocks or sections and the retaining and bed plates may be of wood (with
the grain in the case of the blocks or sections presented endwise to the wear) or
of indiarubber, glass, terra cotta, stone or of any other metal, material or
composition. The surface exposed to the tread may be studded, roughened or
otherwise prepared to avoid risk of slipping.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
A special form of pavement or tread which can be easily repaired by ordinary
labour.

This invention relates to treads for stairs pavements ship decks (to replace

which shall be inexpensive and susceptible to ready and easy renewal without

According to this invention a retaining plate or layer marked D on drawing
is constructed to rest upon or above the floor or bed and to engage blocks or sec-
tions marked E on drawing, which project sufficiently far above the retaining
plate to receive the wear and can be readily withdrawn when worn and replaced
by new ones. Conveniently the blocks or sections may be tapered or given any

in such a manner that whilst they cannot be acidentally removed from place can
be readily withdrawn from the underside of the retaining plate D provided that
the latter is first lifted up. In order that the pavement or tread may be practi-
cally noiseless indiarubber or other cushioning material as indicated at F on
drawing may be interposed between the blocks or sections and the bed on which
they rest, or between adjacent blocks or sections and contiguous portions of the
retaining plate or like material can be placed upon the tops of the blocks or
sections. If desired there may be a bed plate where marked G on drawing as well
