floor

The invention "relates to floors and consists in a floor to create, which has an arrangement of plates, which are held at a height above a base and are at a distance from the base, this distance from load-bearing Parts are conditioned that stand on the base and provide an empty space under the plates in which electrical Cables and other facilities can be laid or introduced and it is characterized by the fact that the plates have a substantially triangular shape and each at the tips above the base by the support parts at three points be supported.

Preferably, the support parts are each with a plurality of legs equipped to carry and support a multiplicity of plates at the tips, with the legs are arranged around a projecting head portion of the support parts, which runs flat with the surface of the floor and wherein the tips of at least some plates are recessed where they are worn on the feet and in such a way that they are against the sides of the head section nudge.

In the other case the Spitseaabsehnitte of the triangular plates meet at one point and rest on support parts, the lower sides of the plates have indentations into which the

Support parts can be recorded and the thickness of the support parts ensure that there is sufficient space between the plates and the base.

Further advantages and details of the invention emerge from the description of embodiment which follows. to play with reference to the drawings. In this shows:

Figures 8 and 9 sectional views of different Embodiment of the construction at the connection points between the plates;

FIGS. 10 and 11 show a partial view and a sectional view a further modified construction according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the bottom consists of a plurality of floor slabs or tiles 10, each in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The floor panels are placed over a Base supported by beams or brackets 12 in such a way that each base plate is supported at its three triangular points will. The trestles 12 can support the floor panels at any desired height above the base.

As shown more clearly in Figures 2 and 3, so has each trestle 12 has a trunk 14 with a bottom which extends outward on the base and which is a hexagon or otherwise shaped Stop plate 16 and a hexagonally shaped head 18 is supported. The stop plate 16 sees six paragraphs 20 in front and the triangular tip of each base plate 10 is cut off and sits with each of its three corners on a ledge 20 of a respective bracket 12. In Figure 2, three floor panels 10A, 10B and 100 are shown and in this way supported, the other three floor panels in Figure 2 are omitted. Each base plate abuts the head 18 which, as shown in Figure 3, has a top surface 22 which is flush with the bottom surface. The plates Can be made from lumber, fiberglass, metal, wooden planks, expanded polystyrene or some other plastic or solid or a cell-like material structure.

The floor panels are shown in Figures 1 to 3 so

009816/1177

that they only sit on the stop or heel plates 16, however, Figure 4 shows how they can be arranged to to take a more favorable position. As shown in Figure 4, each bottom plate is in the shape of an inverted triangular shape Trays on, with downwardly protruding sides 24 that are reinforced as required. The plate is Covered with a layer 26 of plywood, vinyl or similar material that extends over the sides 24 and at 28 is thickened (or runs along the side via a ridge or ridge) so that this layer is against the corresponding Layer of the adjacent floor slab abuts to provide a seal. The heel plate 29 is with a A plurality of ridges 30 are provided which extend along and near the edges of each heel and against which the bordered ones Abut the edges of the sides 24.

The floor shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is similar to that in FIG Figures 1 to 4 floor shown, and consists of a plurality of triangular floor panels, which at their three Triangular points are supported. The floor panels 40 of the floor according to Figures 5 and 6, however, each have the Form a right triangle and are not isosceles triangles. The supports or brackets 42 for the floor panels 40 of the floor of Figures 5 and 6 are generally similar to the trestles 12 of the floor according to Figures 1 to 4 and each consists of a trunk (not shown), one Heel plate 44 and a head 46. Each head has two triangular sections 47, 48, which are arranged tip to tip and their top surface is flush with the bottom surface. Each bottom plate 40 has the acute-angled tip portions cut off. The panels are placed so that the right-angled corner of each panel (e.g. panel 40A, Figure 6) comes to rest in one of the corners formed between the sections 47, 48 of the trestle head, while each edge

009816/1177

a plate (e.g. plate 40B, Figure 6), where an acute-angled Section was cut against the outer edge of a triangular section 47 or 48 looks.

Figure 7 shows a modified form of a block in which the lower part or trunk 14 has been omitted, and the trestle simply consists of a heel plate and a head that may be similar to the parts 16, 18 according to Figures 2 and J, but is denoted by 44, 46, respectively, and accordingly the heel plate and the head according to FIG. 6, together with the base plates 40.

In FIG. 8, floor panels 50 are shown, the grooves 51 in their vertical edges where they meet, and the panels are covered with a floor coating or surface layer 52 and also with connection strips 54 between the slats, each strip 54 has two protruding tongues 55 which are located in the grooves 51.

Figure 9 shows a somewhat similar connection point between plates that actually butt against each other and the plates 50 are provided with grooves or recesses at 51, as is the case in Figure 8, but in this case strip tongues 56 (slip tongues) inserted into the grooves to position the panels.

In Figures 10 and 11, a abgewandelt® Anadnung shown, are provided in the plates 60 in the form of isosceles triangles whose apexes meet at a point where Biβ seated on a circular disk 61, which serves as a support member. The undersides of the Plat th are provided with a recess , as is illustrated at 62, including the disk 61 and the

009816/1177

Thickness of the disc is chosen so that there is a sufficient gap at 63 between the plates and a base or the sub-floor 64 · is taken care of. The edges of cfer plates are slightly chamfered so that a margin is created at 65, to make lifting a plate easier if desired. The underside of the disc 61 is with a Recess 66 is provided.

The floors described and illustrated are more advantageous in comparison with floors in which the floor panels are designed at right angles and are supported at their four corners to the extent that {each base plate of the described and floor shown has greater stability in view of the three support points. To this In the same way, the trestles for the floors, as illustrated and described, do not need to be individually adjusted or their height can be adjusted to aede floor plate to stabilize and for this reason the floors can be put together in a simple and inexpensive manner will.

The floor panels of the floor described and illustrated can be raised in a simple manner to to create access to the space between the underbody. Advantageously, a suction tool on the Plate surface are used to support the lifting process.

All recognizable in the description and in the drawings illustrated technical details are important to the invention.
