It will be appreciated that various modifications and/or alterations to the embodiments described herein may be made without departing from the disclosure and any modifications and/or alterations are within the scope of the contemplated disclosure.
With reference to Figures 1A and 1B and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a surface 10 is shown in an assembled position, generally comprised of the first interconnecting member 15 to the second interconnecting member 20. A worker skilled in the art would appreciate that the first and second interconnecting members 15, 20 are made of timber, although other types of materials could be used without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The first interconnecting member 15 is further comprised of a first projection 25 and a first recess 27, while the second interconnecting member 20 is comprised of a second projection 30 and a second recess 32. As shown, the first recess 27 of the first interconnecting member 15 has a corresponding shape to mate with the second projection 30 of the second interconnecting member 20. Although the projections 25, 30 and recesses 27, 32 are longitudinal, extending from a first end to a second end of the first and second interconnecting members 15, 20, a worker skilled in the art would appreciate that other types of connection means are possible. Such connections could include a shiplap connection, having discreet indentations mating with corresponding discreet recesses, or clamps and glue, etc., without departing from the scope of the disclosure. A worker skilled in the art would
4 further appreciate that the projections and recesses are off-centre relative to the side surfaces of the first and second interconnecting members 15, 20, which will be further described below. The first and second interconnecting members 15, 20 are further comprised of cavities (not shown) having an optimal angle 6, to be further described below. Although the present embodiment illustrates a first interconnecting member 15 secured to a second interconnecting member 20, a worker skilled in the art would appreciate that an n number of interconnecting members could be utilized to create a larger surface, provided that each n interconnecting member is comprised of at least one projection and at least one recess and at least one cavity having an angle 6, and that each n-1 projection corresponds in shape so as to mate with each n-1 recess.
With reference to Figures 2, 3A, 3B and 4 and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the surface 10 is shown in greater detail in its assembled position. Each of the interconnecting members 15, 20 are shown further comprised of cavities 40, positioned on an underside 41 of the interconnecting members 15, 20. Each cavity 40 is angled at an optimal angle 0 with respect to the underside 41 of the interconnecting members 15, 20, the optimal angle e being within a range of 12-17 degrees. As shown, each cavity 40 terminates in a second, smaller bore hole 45 that is constructed to receive a fastener 50. Although the fastener 50 is shown as a screw, a worker skilled in the art would appreciate that it could be a bolt, dowel, pin, bar, etc.
without departing from the scope of the disclosure. A worker skilled in the art would further appreciate that the shorter the surface 10, the fewer fasteners 50 are required. Indeed, at least a single fastener 50 is required for a single cavity 40 for short surfaces 10; however, for longer surfaces 10, additional fasteners 50 and corresponding cavities 40 are required. To attach the first interconnecting member 15 to the second interconnecting member 20, the recess 27 of the first interconnecting member 15 is aligned to mate with the projection 30 of the second interconnecting member 20. Once mated, the first interconnecting member 15 is flush with the second interconnecting member 20. Then, at least one fastener 50 is inserted into at least one cavity 40 of the first interconnecting member 15, through the smaller bore hole 45 and through to the side wall (55 as shown in Figure 1B) of the second interconnecting member 20. The fastener 50 is specifically screwed into an area adjacent to and below the second projection 30 of the second interconnecting member 20.
Indeed, the projections and recesses of the interconnecting members 15, 20 are specifically off-center relative to the side walls of the interconnecting members 15, 20, so that the fasteners do not penetrate the projections and recesses. In this particular embodiment, the projections 25, 30 and recesses 27, 32 of the interconnecting members 15, 20 are positioned above the center of the side walls. To create a larger surface 10 comprised of n interconnecting members, a similar installation procedure is required. Indeed, a number n of interconnecting members would be aligned and mated with n-1 projections and n-1 recesses, and at least an n-1 number of fasteners would be inserted in at least n-1 corresponding cavities to secure the n number of interconnecting members to one another.
With reference to Figures 5 and 6 and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a female interconnecting connecting member 60 and male-male interconnecting member 65 are shown, respectively. The female interconnecting member 60 has a recess 70 positioned above the center of the first side thereof. The other side of the female interconnecting member 60 does not have any recess or projection and is meant to terminate the surface aesthetically. Meanwhile, the male-male interconnecting member 65 has a first projection 75 on a first side thereof, and a second projection 77 on a second side thereof. The projections 75, 77 are positioned above the center of the sides of the male-male interconnecting member 65, configured to receive corresponding projection of other interconnecting members (not shown). The male-male interconnecting member 65 is designed to be positioned in between adjacent interconnecting members (not shown) to form the surface.
Many modifications of the embodiments described herein as well as other embodiments may be evident to a person skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing description and associated drawings. It is understood that these modifications and additional embodiments are captured within the scope of the contemplated disclosure which is not to be limited to the specific embodiment disclosed.
