ABSTRACT:
A resilient pad for resiliently supporting a floor on a substrate is disclosed. The resilient pad includes a resilient inner element and an outer element which surrounds the inner element. The outer element is made of a material which is of higher durometer than the inner element, and is lower in profile than the inner element. Preferably the outer element is non-resilient. Under normal loads applied to the floor, the softer inner element contacts the substrate, resulting in desirable floor response characteristics. Under heavy loading, the harder outer element comes into contact with the substrate, thus supporting the floor and preventing damage to the inner element.
