DE102008010696A1 - Timber flooring for external area, has wooden boards, which run parallel to each other in transverse manner, where timber flooring is formed by base module, and connecting strips that are fixed on wooden boards - Google Patents

Abstract

The timber flooring has wooden boards (2), which run parallel to each other in a transverse manner. The timber flooring is formed by a base module (1). Connecting strips (3) are provided, which are fixed on the wooden board, and are connected to a stable unit. The base module lies on a carrier element. The connecting strips are made of plastic recycling material.

Description

The The invention relates to a wooden floor for the outdoors according to the preamble of claim 1.

Of the Wood flooring according to the invention is especially intended as a terrace floor, but also for all others Areas outside a building, which are exposed to the weather.

So far become wooden floors for outdoor use formed by wooden boards, which on this transverse Wooden beams rest and be nailed or bolted. The problem with these wooden floors for outdoor use is that the wooden beams under the wooden boards permanently exposed to moisture are and therefore lazy over time.

From that Based on the object of the invention, a wooden floor for outdoor use to create, which respect the wet insensitive.

The technical solution is characterized by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Thereby is a wooden floor for the outdoors created, which is insensitive to wet. The Basic idea of the wood floor according to the invention lies in prefabricated rectangular or square floor modules. These are formed by short wooden boards, which are parallel next to each other are arranged and which on the bottom with this transverse Connecting strips are connected to a stable unit. The Attachment of the connecting strips with the wooden boards can in particular by tacking, but also by pinning or screwing done. The So formed floor modules can then on the support elements be applied and form in their entirety the wooden floor. It can The floor modules either rest freely or with an additional Attachment for the substructure be provided.

Preferably is in accordance with the training in Claim 2 as wood for the wooden boards used robinia wood. In this robinia wood it is the most resilient domestic wood. It is therefore extremely weather-resistant.

For the connection bars can according to the training in claim 3 also used robinia wood, but preferably a plastic recycling material become. In particular, recycled PET bottles are suitable for this purpose.

Preferably are in accordance with the training in Claim 4, the support elements formed by upwardly open U-profiles, in which the connecting strips the floor modules are inserted from above. This is the floor modules form-fitting fixed in position. The U-profiles are preferably galvanized metal profiles. The use of plastic for the U-profiles is alike conceivable.

Around To give the floor modules the greatest possible stability and optimal support of the floor modules on the U-profiles to ensure, beats the development according to claim 5 before that two Connecting strips are provided, which at the two ends of the Wooden boards are arranged. This creates these two connection bars for the Wooden boards to some extent a frontal frame. Of course it is conceivable that between These two connection bars still an interconnect bar or several interconnection strips are provided. This depends overall on the size of the floor modules from.

The Training according to claim 6 is based on the idea that not every connection bar the Floor modules a separate U-profile is provided, but that in the Area where two floor modules abut each other and, accordingly, the Endseitigen connecting strips directly next to each other, this are included in a common U-profile. This is simplified Overall, the technical design. Furthermore, this is the possibility created that yourself the floor elements mutually support and thus the internal stability of the wooden floor is optimized.

The Training according to claim 7 beats a frame profile, which prevents possibly the bottom elements slip out of the U-profiles. This frame profile is about it is preferably an angle profile of the same material like the U-profiles.

Around Keeping the surface optimally anhydrous beats the training according to claim 8 that the support elements for the Floor modules resting on a substructure of stone or concrete. This substructure may be concrete or stone slabs, but also around concrete beams act.

One embodiment a wooden floor according to the invention for the outdoors will be described below with reference to the drawings. In these shows:

1 a perspective view of a floor module;

2 a bottom view of the floor module in 1 ;

3 the substructure for the floor modules;

4 a representation according to the in 3 (but rotated by 90 °), but with launched floor modules;

5 a representation according to the in 3 with launched floor modules, but without the end frame angle profile.

The 1 and 2 show floor modules 1 , which form the wooden floor for outdoor use. These floor modules 1 consist of parallel wooden boards 2 especially from robinia wood.

On the underside are these wooden boards 2 through transverse connecting bars 3 in particular from recycled plastic material, in particular PET bottles, firmly connected to each other by festooning. Two of the connection bars 3 are located at the ends of the wooden boards 2 while a third connection bar 3 is in the middle.

3 shows a substructure for these floor modules 1 , This consists of mutually parallel U-profiles 4 , which support elements for the floor modules 1 define. These U-profiles 4 are open at the top. End they are by a frame profile 4 completed in the form of an angle profile. Both the U-profiles 4 as well as the frame profiles 5 consist of galvanized metal.

The 4 and 5 show the total system of the wooden floor. Here are the floor modules 1 on the U-profiles 4 placed. In 5 is recognizable that the two end connection bars 3 the floor modules 1 in the U-profiles 4 to come to rest.

In the area where two floor modules 1 to clash (in 5 in the area of the left U-profile 4 ), come here the two adjacent connecting bars 3 of two floor modules 1 in the same U-profile 4 to lie. The two connection bars 3 fill in terms of their width almost completely the width of the U-profile 4 on, ie the two connection bars 3 can easily into the U-profile 4 be used. The game in longitudinal extension of the wooden boards 2 but it is low.

In 5 is further seen that at that floor module 1 , which forms the conclusion of the wooden floor, the corresponding connecting bar 3 on the opposite leg of the U-profile 4 rests so that the U-profile 4 with the floor module 1 forms a flush vertical end surface.
