Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a load-bearing structure particularly for indoor flooring or outdoor paving.
  • This known method therefore requires the preliminary study of the water and electric system and the laying of all the associated ducting at a solid base prepared beforehand; said ducts must then be embedded for example by a casting of cement-like material.
  • the flooring cannot be laid immediately because said casting must be able to dry appropriately.
  • said paving is usually built by using thin cement or inert slabs laid over sand or cement and this requires a long time and entails high costs; these components are also heavy and therefore require suitable tools or means to transport them.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited prior art and thus providing an invention which allows to lay indoor flooring or outdoor paving quickly and easily.
  • an important object is to provide an invention in which said laying can occur even without a preliminary laying of water and electric ducting, of course with the option of subsequently laying said ducting quickly and easily.
  • Another important object is to provide an invention that allows to obtain an indoor flooring or outdoor paving which is stable over time and safe in use.
  • Another important object is to provide an invention which is structurally simple and easy to industrialize.
  • Another object is to provide an invention which has low manufacturing costs and allows to produce indoor flooring or outdoor paving at an overall cost which is lower than in the cited prior art.
  • a load-bearing structure for supporting panels or coverings or for use as outdoor paving, characterized in that it is constituted by a modular body which is provided with leveling means which can be activated from the upper surface, said body being internally provided with a grid-like structure with connected compartments for ducting, means being provided for the removable locking of a plurality of bodies and/or panels arranged side by side, said locking means being actuatable from the upper surface of said bodies.
  • 1 designates a load-bearing structure for supporting panels or coverings, designated by the reference numeral 2, or for outdoor pavings.
  • Said load-bearing structure is constituted by a modular and load-bearing body 3 for supporting the panels or coverings 2 for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Said body 3 can be formed for example by using recycled and recyclable material for cost containment.
  • Each body 3 is provided with a flat upper surface 4 and, at the corners 5, with a recess or depression 6 whereat first through holes 7 are formed at right angles.
  • Means for leveling said body can be arranged within said first holes 7 and can be activated from the upper surface 4 thereof; said means are constituted by a suitable screw 8 provided with a head 9 which can be arranged on a stable plane 10 and with a threaded stem 11 which can be inserted in a complementarily threaded seat formed at said first holes 7.
  • Activation of the screw 9 from the upper surface 4 of the body 3 is allowed because at the end of the stem 11 there is provided a seat 12, for example for an Allen screw, or a slot for inserting a complementarily shaped screwdriver or other tool.
  • each body 3 there are also provided second through holes 13, which are proximate to the outer perimetric edge 14 and approximately at the center of each body.
  • each body 3 is provided with partitions 15 which form a grid-like structure and have a shape forming, in a downward region, a plurality of connected compartments 16 whereat it is possible to pass ducting which is not shown in the figures.
  • the load-bearing structure 1 comprises means for the removable mutual locking of a plurality of bodies 3 or of panels or coverings 2 arranged side by side; said means can be activated from the upper surface 4 of each body 3.
  • Said removable locking means are constituted by a suitable coupling 17 which can be positioned at, and is shaped complementarily to, a suitable seat which is formed by arranging side by side a plurality of bodies 3 at a corner 5; said seat is formed by the presence of the mutually adjacent recesses or depressions 6.
  • the coupling 17 is thus constituted by a plate 18 which is provided, in a downward region, with four bridges 19 located at the corners and arranged along the diagonals; said bridges are essentially shaped like an inverted U, the wings 20a, 20b whereof can be arranged at complementarily shaped guides 21 formed on the portion of the body 3 whereon the first through holes 7 are located; said guides 21 are parallel to the laterally adjacent outer perimetric edge 14 of the body 3 and merge at a region adjacent to the corner 5.
  • tabs 22 arranged in a cross-like configuration protrude above the plate 18; their function is to allow, as shown in figure 11, to position and lock between two of said tabs the corresponding sides of a panel or of a covering 2.
  • the height of the tabs 22 is such that they can protrude, once the coupling 17 has been inserted, beyond the upper surface 4 of the body 3, by an extent which is equal to the thickness of the panel or covering 2.
  • the coupling 17 is similar to the one shown in figure 7 as regards the presence of the plate 18 and of the bridges 19, except for the tabs 22.
  • the load-bearing structure can be wall-mounted in order to form a ventilated structure.
  • a load-bearing structure having been provided which allows to form a surface for obtaining an indoor flooring or outdoor paving and, at the same, an underlying cellular region for the passage of cables and/or ducting and/or radiating panels; furthermore, said structure can be quickly and easily laid as flooring, avoiding and indeed replacing conventional thin slabs and thus providing faster and shorter laying times, saving time as regards the accessibility and/or walkability of the spaces.
  • said structure thanks to the particular use of the couplings, allows to inspect at all times and in any point the area underlying the indoor flooring or outdoor paving.
  • Said structure also allows to achieve a significant weight reduction, since it is possible to use lower thicknesses for the panel and/or the finishing covering; said reductions can be on the order of one third in the case of wood panels and of approximately four fifths in comparison with panels made of inert material, and this also entails global cost reduction.
  • the structure can also be used for outdoor pavings since it is made of materials which are not affected by the weather conditions.
