Portable folding floor unit

Abstract

The portable folding floor unit has two or more sections, each of the sections being essentially identical rectangular planar sections. The sections are connected to one another along their lengths with the use of hinges, providing a flooring unit that can fold up in an accordion style for easy transportation and use. An alternate embodiment of the portable folding floor unit has two rectangular planar end sections with protruding hinge pieces along one length. A series of middle sections are provided with protruding hinge pieces along opposing lengths such that the two end sections and middle sections can be interlocked. A series of rods can be placed through the interlocking hinge pieces to produce the portable folding floor unit with an accordion style folding.

1 . A portable folding floor unit, comprising: 
 two or more sections, the two or more sections being essentially identical rectangular planar sections; and    one or more hinges, the one or more hinges for connecting the two or more sections together longitudinally in a folding manner.    
   
   
       2 . The portable folding floor unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more hinges are piano hinges.  
   
   
       3 . A portable folding floor unit, comprising: 
 two end sections, each end section being essentially identical rectangular planar sections, each end section having one or more annularly apertured protrusions longitudinally aligned along one edge of each end section;    one or more middle sections, the one or more middle sections being essentially identical rectangular planar sections, each middle section having one or more annularly apertured protrusions longitudinally aligned along opposing edges of the middle section, wherein each middle section is joined with another middle section or one of the two end sections such that annularly apertured protrusions on each middle section are co-axially aligned with the annularly apertured protrusions on another middle section or one of the two end sections; and    a plurality of rigid rods, each rigid rod extending through the co-axially aligned annularly apertured protrusions on the two end sections and one or more middle sections.
