Patent ID: 7516587

Claim:
An interlocked floor system comprising: multiple polymeric panels molded as an integral body having a planar top surface and a grid structure supporting the top surface and multiple interlocking side surfaces; each interlocking side surface having upwardly and downwardly facing steps, at least one of the downwardly facing steps have a convex projection on a bottom surface, at least one of the upwardly facing steps have a concave mating dimple on an upper surface; an over hang ledge formed as an extension of the planar top surface, thereby forming a cavity between the over hang ledge and the upper surface of each of the upwardly facing steps; an under hang ledge formed in a top surface of each of the downwardly facing steps allowing each of the downwardly facing steps of a first panel to fit within the cavity of a second panel; and whereas the steps of the side surfaces of the first panel interlock to complementary steps of the second panel, held in place by the convex projections and the mating concave dimples.
