ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a subfloor system for placement over a substrate. The subfloor consists of a base, a resilient pad, an upper member, and brackets. The resilient pad is positioned on the base, preferably within an elongated slot formed in the upper surface of the base. The upper member is operably connected to the top surface of the resilient pad. The upper member has a projection and two shoulders. The brackets have an upper and lower tab and are secured to the base and to the upper member. The lower tab is adapted to fit within the base and the upper tab rests on the corresponding shoulder of the upper member. When under load, the resilient pad compresses thereby causing the upper member to move towards the base. The brackets, however, limit vertical movement of the upper member relative to the base. The invention also includes a method of forming a resilient sports floor employing such a subfloor system.
