Abstract:

Pattern match indicators are embedded in the pattern design in the selvage edge portion of adjacent flooring sheets. The pattern match indicators are spaced apart with the distance between the adjacent pattern match indicators equal to the repeat length of the pattern design. In one embodiment the pattern mark indicators may appear as small bars approximately ″ wide and approximately ″ to approximately ⅝″ in length. Prior to cutting off the selvage edge portions, the adjacent flooring sheets are laid with the edge portion of one flooring sheet overlapping the other flooring sheet. The pattern match indictors are located with the pattern match indicators collinear with respect to the across-machine direction and with a gap of predetermined dimension between them. With the flooring sheets overlapped, the selvage edge portions are simultaneously cut parallel to the longitudinal edges of the flooring sheets and within the gap between the pattern match indicators,
