Patent ID: 6898911

Claim:
A floor strip assembly to cover a gap between a first and second floor surface, comprising a longitudinal carrier comprising a rib extending along a longitudinal axis thereof, a plane extending orthogonal to the rib having an engaging surface and an upper surface, and a tab portion on the engaging surface extending away from the engaging surface, and a thermosetting laminate comprising hard particles which impart abrasion resistance to the laminate, wherein the laminate is glued onto the upper surface, an upper end of the rib attaches to the plane along a central axis thereof to form substantially a T-shape profile for the floor strip, dividing the plane into a first side and a second side, the tab portion is located on the first side engaging surface of the plane and a second tab portion is located on the second side engaging surface of the plane and extends orthogonal therefrom, and at least one of the first and second tab portions engages a channel in one of the first and second floor surfaces.
