Description
DECK ASSEMBLY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a deck assembly for providing a deck above a body.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a deck assembly for providing a deck above a body.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Certain buildings are constructed with roofs on which slabs or ballasts are positionable, to maintain one or more layers (e.g., of insulation and/or membranes) of the roof in position therein. (In some cases, the slabs may also be used to provide a surface above the roof on which various types of activities may take place, e.g., the slabs may form a patio area.) Typically, the slabs are made of concrete. The slabs are usually positioned proximal to each other, to substantially cover the roof or a portion thereof, except for small gaps between the slabs. This arrangement of slabs typically is installed where additional weight on the roof is desirable to assist in holding certain elements of the roof in place.
[0003] The slabs, although usually relatively large (e.g., about 24 inches by inches in plan and about 2 inches thick), are movable by relatively strong winds.
Therefore, in order to address the risk that the slabs may be moved by strong winds (and possibly removed from the building), various mounting systems are known. The mounting systems of the prior art have some deficiencies.
Therefore, in order to address the risk that the slabs may be moved by strong winds (and possibly removed from the building), various mounting systems are known. The mounting systems of the prior art have some deficiencies.
[0004] For instance, a typical mounting system of the prior art is disclosed in Canadian Patent No. 2,409,312. However, in the "ballast block assembly"
disclosed in the '312 patent, the slabs are held down at their corners, by a cap threadably mounted onto a pedestal, in a relatively complex arrangement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
disclosed in the '312 patent, the slabs are held down at their corners, by a cap threadably mounted onto a pedestal, in a relatively complex arrangement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] For the foregoing reasons, there is a need for a deck assembly which overcomes or mitigates one or more of the defects of the prior art.
[0006] In its broad aspect, the invention provides a deck assembly for providing a deck above a body. The deck assembly includes a number of slabs, each slab having an upper surface at least partially defined by one or more edges of the slab, and a number of pedestals, for supporting the slabs above the body. The deck assembly also includes a number of connectors. Each connector is adapted for engagement with a first selected one of the slabs and a second selected one thereof positioned adjacent to the first selected one, to connect the first and second adjacent slabs together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In the attached drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding elements throughout. Reference is first made to Figs. 1-4 to describe an embodiment of a deck assembly of the invention referred to generally by the numeral 20. The deck assembly 20 is for providing a deck 22 above a body 24, as will be described.
In one embodiment, the deck assembly 20 includes a number of slabs 26, each slab 26 having an upper surface 28 at least partially defined by one or more edges 30 of the slab 26.
Preferably, a deck assembly 20 also includes a number of pedestals 32, for supporting the slabs 26 above the body 24. In addition, it is preferred that the deck assembly 20 includes a number of connectors 34. Each connector is for engagement with a first selected one of the slabs 26 and a second selected one of the slabs 26 positioned adjacent to the first selected one, to connect the adjacent slabs together.
[00211 An exemplary deck assembly 20 is illustrated in Fig. 1. As can be seen in Fig. 1, four slabs, identified in Fig. I for convenience as 26A-26D, preferably are connected together by three connectors, identified in Fig. 1 as 34A-34C for convenience.
Preferably, a number of pedestals 32 support the slabs 26A-26D above the body 22. (It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the deck assembly 20 may include a relatively large number of slabs, i.e., many more than four, and that only four slabs are shown in Fig. 1 for illustrative clarity.) [0022] Fig. 2A is a side view of the deck assembly 20 illustrated in Fig. 1.
As can be seen in Fig. 2A, the adjacent slabs 26A, 26B are positioned proximal to each other, to define a gap 46 therebetween. In Fig. 2B, the manner in which the connector engages the slabs 26A, 26B near the edges 30A, 30B respectively is shown. As can be seen in Fig. 2B, the slabs 26A, 26B are yoked or connected together by the connector 34A. It will be understood that the slabs are connected in the same way to all other slabs to which they are adjacent respectively. As a result, movement of any one slab cannot be accomplished without movement of all the connected slabs. When the deck assembly 20 is assembled as described, and the slabs are connected to those adjacent thereto, the deck assembly's mass primarily consists of the sum of the slabs' masses.
Accordingly, because of the relatively large mass of the assembled deck assembly, the deck assembly 20 is unlikely to be movable by strong winds.
[0023] As can be seen in Figs. 3A-3C, in one embodiment, it is preferred that the connector 34 is generally in the form of an I-beam. The connector 34 preferably includes a web 48 and upper and lower flanges 50, 52 positioned at upper and lower ends of the web respectively. Preferably, and as shown in Fig. 2B, when the connector 34A
is in position to connect the slabs 26A, 26B, the web 48 is located in the gap 46.
[0024] In one embodiment, the upper surface 28 of each slab 26 is at least partially defined by a number of edges 30. Each of the edges 30 extends between two or more corners 36 of each slab 28 respectively. As can be seen, for example, in Fig. 1, each connector 34 is adapted for engagement with the slab proximal to the edge 30 at a preselected location thereon between the corners 36 at least partially defining the edge 30.
[0025] In one embodiment, and as can be seen in Fig. 1, the connector 34 preferably engages the slab 26 at a location which is approximately equidistant from the corners 36. This arrangement provides a substantially even distribution of the connectors 34 throughout the deck assembly 20.
[0026] It is preferred that the upper surface 28 of each slab 26 is substantially planar. Also, each connector 34 includes two or more upper engagement surfaces 62. In one embodiment, each slab 26 includes one or more bights 64. Each bight 64 is located between corners. Preferably, each bight 64 is at least partially defined by a recessed surface 66, which is recessed relative to the upper surface 28. A selected one of the upper engagement surfaces 62 preferably is receivable in the bight 64 and at least partially engageable with the recessed surface 66.
[0027] As can be seen in Figs. 3A-3C, the upper flange 50 of the connector 34 preferably includes a substantially planar outer surface 70. The upper flange preferably has a thickness T1 (Fig. 3B). In one embodiment, the recessed surface 66 preferably is recessed relative to the upper surface 28 of the slab 26 to a depth D (Fig.
2B), so that the outer surface 70 is substantially flush with the upper surface 28 when the upper engagement surface 62 is at least partially engaging the recessed surface 66.
[0028] The bight 64 has three purposes. First, it provides a location on the slab, i.e., between two corners, at which the connector 34 clearly is to be positioned. This minimizes the time required for assembly. Second, the bights also minimize the possibility of the connectors 34 being incorrectly positioned on the slabs.
The bights 64 preferably locate the connectors 34 substantially halfway between the corners substantially defining the edge. Third, the upper flange 50 is receivable in the bights in adjacent slabs, so that the outer surface 70 is substantially at the same level with, and substantially vertically aligned with, the upper surface 28 of the slab.
[0029] In one embodiment, each slab 26 also includes a lower surface 68 positioned below the upper surface 28 when the slab 26 is positioned on the pedestals 32.
Each connector 34 preferably is at least partially engageable with the lower surface 68, to connect each connector 34 to the slab 26. As can be seen in Figs. 3B and 3C, the connector 34 preferably includes a lower engagement surface 72, for engagement with the lower surface 68 of the slab 26.
[0030] Preferably, the connector 34 is made of any suitable material. For example, it has been found that polyethylene is a suitable material. Those skilled in the art would be aware of a variety of suitable materials.
[00311 In use, the connector 34 preferably is slid onto a first selected slab, and after that slab is located on the pedestals therefor, a second selected slab is slid into the connector (i.e., between the upper and lower flanges 50, 52), after which the pedestals for the second slab are positioned thereunder. For example, in Fig. 2B, if the slab 26B is selected as the first slab, then the connector 34A is pushed, in the direction indicated by arrow A in Fig. 2B, onto the slab 26B. Subsequently, the slab 26A is moved in the same direction, to insert a part 74 of the slab 26A between the upper and lower flanges 50, 52 of the connector 34A. Preferably, the connector 34 engages the slabs 26A, 26B
relatively tightly, i.e., in an interference fit.
[0032] The pedestal 32, shown in Fig. 4, is of conventional design.
Preferably, corners of adjacent slabs are receivable in the pedestal, as is known in the art.
[0033] An alternative embodiment of the deck assembly 120 is illustrated in Fig.
5. As can be seen in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, slabs 126A, 126B do not include bights, or features corresponding to the bights. Instead, upper surfaces 128A, 128B of the slabs 126A, 126B respectively are engaged, in part, by upper engagement surfaces 162A, 162B
of upper flange 150 of connector 134. As can be seen in Fig. 5, lower surfaces 168A, 168B of the slabs 126A, 126B are engaged by the lower engagement surfaces 172A, 172B respectively of lower flange 152 of the connector 134. The upper and lower flanges 150, 152 are connected to a web 148 therebetween.
[0034] In this embodiment, once the deck assembly 120 is assembled, the upper flange 150 is positioned above the upper surfaces 128A, 128B of the slabs 126A, 126B.
Accordingly, outer surface 170 of the upper flange 150 is positioned above the upper surfaces 128A, 128B, so that the upper flange 150 is a hazard for pedestrian traffic.
However, as compared to the first embodiment of the deck assembly described above, the slabs are simpler to construct. The deck assembly 120 may be suitable where, for example, a surface for pedestrian traffic (not shown) is to be positioned above the upper surface and above the upper flange.
[0035] In the embodiment shown in Figs. 6A-7, connector 234 includes a web 248 and an upper flange 250, but does not include a lower flange. The connector 234 is intended for use in repairing the deck assembly (i.e., the deck assembly 20, or deck assembly 120). For instance, if only one slab is required to be replaced (e.g., if a slab in the assembled deck assembly is cracked or broken), upon removal of the damaged slab, a new slab is positioned in the opening created by such removal.
[0036] Subsequently, the connector 234 is positioned on the slabs 226A, 226B, by inserting web 248 into the gap between the slabs and moving the connector 234 downwardly (i.e., in the direction indicated by arrow B in Fig. 7).
[0037] Preferably, deck assembly 220 includes glue 274 which bonds the connector 234 to the slabs 226A, 226B. The glue 274 preferably is any suitable glue, as would be known by those skilled in the art. It has been found that "PL
Premium", manufactured by LePage (Henkel Canada Corporation), is a suitable glue.
Preferably, a suitable amount of the glue is applied to the surfaces that will define the gap and on the recessed surface before the replacement slab is lowered into position. After the slab is lowered into position, the web 248 is positioned in the gap. The connector 234 is pushed downwardly until the upper engagement surfaces on the upper flange 250 engage the glue on the recessed surface. As is known, once the glue has hardened, the slabs are held together by the glue, and the upper flange 250 also serves to assist in holding the adjacent slabs together.
[0038] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention can take many forms, and that such forms are within the scope of the invention as described above. The foregoing descriptions are exemplary, and their scope should not be limited to the preferred versions provided therein.
In one embodiment, the deck assembly 20 includes a number of slabs 26, each slab 26 having an upper surface 28 at least partially defined by one or more edges 30 of the slab 26.
Preferably, a deck assembly 20 also includes a number of pedestals 32, for supporting the slabs 26 above the body 24. In addition, it is preferred that the deck assembly 20 includes a number of connectors 34. Each connector is for engagement with a first selected one of the slabs 26 and a second selected one of the slabs 26 positioned adjacent to the first selected one, to connect the adjacent slabs together.
[00211 An exemplary deck assembly 20 is illustrated in Fig. 1. As can be seen in Fig. 1, four slabs, identified in Fig. I for convenience as 26A-26D, preferably are connected together by three connectors, identified in Fig. 1 as 34A-34C for convenience.
Preferably, a number of pedestals 32 support the slabs 26A-26D above the body 22. (It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the deck assembly 20 may include a relatively large number of slabs, i.e., many more than four, and that only four slabs are shown in Fig. 1 for illustrative clarity.) [0022] Fig. 2A is a side view of the deck assembly 20 illustrated in Fig. 1.
As can be seen in Fig. 2A, the adjacent slabs 26A, 26B are positioned proximal to each other, to define a gap 46 therebetween. In Fig. 2B, the manner in which the connector engages the slabs 26A, 26B near the edges 30A, 30B respectively is shown. As can be seen in Fig. 2B, the slabs 26A, 26B are yoked or connected together by the connector 34A. It will be understood that the slabs are connected in the same way to all other slabs to which they are adjacent respectively. As a result, movement of any one slab cannot be accomplished without movement of all the connected slabs. When the deck assembly 20 is assembled as described, and the slabs are connected to those adjacent thereto, the deck assembly's mass primarily consists of the sum of the slabs' masses.
Accordingly, because of the relatively large mass of the assembled deck assembly, the deck assembly 20 is unlikely to be movable by strong winds.
[0023] As can be seen in Figs. 3A-3C, in one embodiment, it is preferred that the connector 34 is generally in the form of an I-beam. The connector 34 preferably includes a web 48 and upper and lower flanges 50, 52 positioned at upper and lower ends of the web respectively. Preferably, and as shown in Fig. 2B, when the connector 34A
is in position to connect the slabs 26A, 26B, the web 48 is located in the gap 46.
[0024] In one embodiment, the upper surface 28 of each slab 26 is at least partially defined by a number of edges 30. Each of the edges 30 extends between two or more corners 36 of each slab 28 respectively. As can be seen, for example, in Fig. 1, each connector 34 is adapted for engagement with the slab proximal to the edge 30 at a preselected location thereon between the corners 36 at least partially defining the edge 30.
[0025] In one embodiment, and as can be seen in Fig. 1, the connector 34 preferably engages the slab 26 at a location which is approximately equidistant from the corners 36. This arrangement provides a substantially even distribution of the connectors 34 throughout the deck assembly 20.
[0026] It is preferred that the upper surface 28 of each slab 26 is substantially planar. Also, each connector 34 includes two or more upper engagement surfaces 62. In one embodiment, each slab 26 includes one or more bights 64. Each bight 64 is located between corners. Preferably, each bight 64 is at least partially defined by a recessed surface 66, which is recessed relative to the upper surface 28. A selected one of the upper engagement surfaces 62 preferably is receivable in the bight 64 and at least partially engageable with the recessed surface 66.
[0027] As can be seen in Figs. 3A-3C, the upper flange 50 of the connector 34 preferably includes a substantially planar outer surface 70. The upper flange preferably has a thickness T1 (Fig. 3B). In one embodiment, the recessed surface 66 preferably is recessed relative to the upper surface 28 of the slab 26 to a depth D (Fig.
2B), so that the outer surface 70 is substantially flush with the upper surface 28 when the upper engagement surface 62 is at least partially engaging the recessed surface 66.
[0028] The bight 64 has three purposes. First, it provides a location on the slab, i.e., between two corners, at which the connector 34 clearly is to be positioned. This minimizes the time required for assembly. Second, the bights also minimize the possibility of the connectors 34 being incorrectly positioned on the slabs.
The bights 64 preferably locate the connectors 34 substantially halfway between the corners substantially defining the edge. Third, the upper flange 50 is receivable in the bights in adjacent slabs, so that the outer surface 70 is substantially at the same level with, and substantially vertically aligned with, the upper surface 28 of the slab.
[0029] In one embodiment, each slab 26 also includes a lower surface 68 positioned below the upper surface 28 when the slab 26 is positioned on the pedestals 32.
Each connector 34 preferably is at least partially engageable with the lower surface 68, to connect each connector 34 to the slab 26. As can be seen in Figs. 3B and 3C, the connector 34 preferably includes a lower engagement surface 72, for engagement with the lower surface 68 of the slab 26.
[0030] Preferably, the connector 34 is made of any suitable material. For example, it has been found that polyethylene is a suitable material. Those skilled in the art would be aware of a variety of suitable materials.

Subsequently, the slab 26A is moved in the same direction, to insert a part 74 of the slab 26A between the upper and lower flanges 50, 52 of the connector 34A. Preferably, the connector 34 engages the slabs 26A, 26B
relatively tightly, i.e., in an interference fit.
[0032] The pedestal 32, shown in Fig. 4, is of conventional design.
Preferably, corners of adjacent slabs are receivable in the pedestal, as is known in the art.
[0033] An alternative embodiment of the deck assembly 120 is illustrated in Fig.
5. As can be seen in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, slabs 126A, 126B do not include bights, or features corresponding to the bights. Instead, upper surfaces 128A, 128B of the slabs 126A, 126B respectively are engaged, in part, by upper engagement surfaces 162A, 162B
of upper flange 150 of connector 134. As can be seen in Fig. 5, lower surfaces 168A, 168B of the slabs 126A, 126B are engaged by the lower engagement surfaces 172A, 172B respectively of lower flange 152 of the connector 134. The upper and lower flanges 150, 152 are connected to a web 148 therebetween.
[0034] In this embodiment, once the deck assembly 120 is assembled, the upper flange 150 is positioned above the upper surfaces 128A, 128B of the slabs 126A, 126B.
Accordingly, outer surface 170 of the upper flange 150 is positioned above the upper surfaces 128A, 128B, so that the upper flange 150 is a hazard for pedestrian traffic.
However, as compared to the first embodiment of the deck assembly described above, the slabs are simpler to construct. The deck assembly 120 may be suitable where, for example, a surface for pedestrian traffic (not shown) is to be positioned above the upper surface and above the upper flange.
[0035] In the embodiment shown in Figs. 6A-7, connector 234 includes a web 248 and an upper flange 250, but does not include a lower flange. The connector 234 is intended for use in repairing the deck assembly (i.e., the deck assembly 20, or deck assembly 120). For instance, if only one slab is required to be replaced (e.g., if a slab in the assembled deck assembly is cracked or broken), upon removal of the damaged slab, a new slab is positioned in the opening created by such removal.
[0036] Subsequently, the connector 234 is positioned on the slabs 226A, 226B, by inserting web 248 into the gap between the slabs and moving the connector 234 downwardly (i.e., in the direction indicated by arrow B in Fig. 7).
[0037] Preferably, deck assembly 220 includes glue 274 which bonds the connector 234 to the slabs 226A, 226B. The glue 274 preferably is any suitable glue, as would be known by those skilled in the art. It has been found that "PL
