Abstract

A modular floor apparatus comprising a modular-floor-locator section to be combined with a plurality of modular-floor tiles to form a flooring surface. The modular-floor-locator section may comprise a top surface and a first locator raised surface area formed in the top surface. The first locator raised surface area may be dimensioned to guide positioning of an object on the top surface.

Claims (36)

1. A modular-floor apparatus comprising:

a modular-floor-locator section to be combined with a plurality of modular-floor tiles to form a flooring surface, the modular-floor-locator section comprising:
