Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular staircase and modular, prefabricated, intended to be installed one way rigid, and having at least one side equipped with a stiffener.
  • Floor-to-floor spacing of floors Space which separates the levels of a floor, that is to say the vertical dimension between the upper floor and the lower floor of the place where the present invention is to be installed.
  • Tread bottom Part opposite the stair nosing.
  • Giron Horizontal spacing between two stair noses measured along the stride line.
  • Tread width Horizontal spacing, perpendicular to the lap measured between the ends of the steps.
  • Step height Vertical dimension between the bottom floor and the first step or between two consecutive steps, or between the last step and the top floor level.
  • Constant step height Height obtained by dividing the floor-to-floor space of the floors by the number of steps plus one.
  • the present invention as defined by the combination of features of claim 1, tending to provide improvements to patent application FR-A-2 691 489, are differentiates from this prior technique by its possibility adjusting the heights of steps and or its lap and or the width of each step, which makes this staircase versatile and able to be installed in spaces with volumes dissimilar.
  • GB-A-2.114.182 discloses a staircase in spiral built by assembly and including a ramp rigid to which metal bars are attached extending downward towards the steps.
  • DE-A-2,619,804 describes several configurations prefabricated stairs designed to be manufactured using glass fiber reinforced concrete. Unlike the present invention, the different configurations described as well as the type of manufacture of these do not allow nor an adjustment of the geometry of a type of elements of the prefabricated staircase, nor a choice of position and orientation of some of the elements of the staircase between them to achieve a possible in situ height adjustment and the belly of the stairs, while the present invention allows it all.
  • the present invention is a staircase installed between two floors as illustrated in figure 1.
  • stiffening element 1 connected to vertical part 3B acting as low poles and to the high post 3E, as well as vertical pieces 4A, 4A1 passing through peripheral modules 12 and connected to sleepers 7, 7a having a heel or wedge 6, which support steps 5, 16.
  • the bottom of the vertical pieces 4A, 4A1 is pierced with two vertical slots 9a, 9b superimposed of different heights.
  • the highest slot 9a is of a height higher than slot 9b.
  • the vertical part 3B is pierced in its part bottom of a slot 9a high.
  • the vertical part 4A1 is different from the part vertical 4A by its slightly longer length.
  • the distance between the slots 9a and 9b being identical on one and on the other vertical pieces whose height is different.
  • each slot 9a and 9b are provided, perpendicular to their axes, superimposed holes 14 and placed so as to allow the passage of the organs of fixing, possibly pins 8.
  • sleepers 7a or sleepers 7 equipped with shims 6, allows to adjust the tread and the height of steps.
  • the crosspieces 7a, 7 fit into the slot upper 9a of the vertical pieces 4A, 4A1 or in the slot lower 9b of the vertical part 3B, as illustrated in figure 2.
  • the lower part of said sleepers 7a has a heel, protruding part, or a wedge 6 which rests on the lower part of the slot 9a of each of the parts vertical.
  • the slots 9b each bear on the part upper of each crosspiece 7, 7a.
  • steps 5, 16 are drilled at each of their ends with holes 9, 15, possibly rectangular with rounded angles, allowing the passage of the vertical parts 3B, 4A, 4A1 which pierce leaving free access to the slots 9a, 9b.
  • Said slots are possibly shaped rectangular with rounded corners.
  • Slot 9a is designed to accommodate the most high of cross member 7a or cross member 7 fitted with its wedge 6.
  • the lowest part of the crosspiece 7, 7a is intended to be introduced into the slot 9b as in figures 1 and 2.
  • each step 5 16 are arranged holes 9 or 15 whose dimension in the direction of the lap is greater than the dimension, in the same direction, of the vertical pieces 4A, 4A1 passing through holes 9, or 3B passing through holes 15.
  • Peripheral modules 12, 12A comprising a hole 9c through which pass vertical pieces 4A, 4A1, 3B slide and come to rest on each of the steps 5, 16 that they help to immobilize with the help of organs fastening through the steps 5, 16.
  • At least one step of the present invention comprises on its upper side, a system which makes it partially or completely non-slip.
  • the bottom of the step has a relief serving as a stop to prevent the foot from going further.
