Definitions

  • This invention relates to decking systems and components for use in the construction of decking systems.
  • decking systems from a plurality of elongated hollow sections or planks arranged side by side, interconnected at adjacent longitudinal edges and supported on a substantially rigid base structure. Decking systems of this kind are used, for example, for the surfacing of boat jetties or other structures.
  • Decking systems for such purposes are designed for relatively heavy duty and are of substantial size and cross-section to impart the necessary strength and rigidity to withstand the loads and wear to which they are subjected during use. Similar decking systems are potentially suitable for the construction of garden decking, verandas around caravans or other purposes. However such uses require a structure of lighter weight and less cost and this can create problems in ensuring sufficient strength at the joints between adjacent planks.
  • a lightweight decking plank having male and female connecting members formed at its opposite longitudinal edges, at least one component of each connecting member comprising a hollow section, the connecting members being arranged such that when the male connector of one plank is engaged with the female connector of an adjacent plank, at least parts of the hollow sections of the respective connectors are positioned in vertical alignment with one another.
  • the connecting members are constructed such that when inter-connected an essentially rigid load-supporting connection is formed between the upper and lower surfaces of the assembly at the region of inter-connection.
  • the overlapping hollow sections are provided with means to retain them against disengagement after inter-connection.
  • Said retaining means may comprise longitudinally extending hook like projections formed on the respective components.
  • the hook like projections or other retaining means preferably also serve to retain the planks in engagement with separate starter strips serving to secure edge regions of the decking assembly in position on a supporting structure.
  • each connecting member is adapted for engagement in a complimentary recess in the other connecting member of an adjacent plank, the height of the projecting hollow section on each plank being approximately equal to half the height of the plank.
  • one of said connecting members may incorporate two projecting hollow-section connecting components spaced apart by a recess engageable by a single hollow-section connecting component on an adjacent plank, the height of each of the hollow section components being approximately equal to one third of the height of the plank.
  • the upper surface of said plank incorporates a surface pattern, said connectors being arranged to maintain uniformity and continuity of said surface pattern when adjacent planks are inter-connected.
  • the surface pattern may be designed to impart non-slip characteristics to the upper surface of the plank.
  • Each of the male connecting members 10 includes a longitudinally extending projection 15 of hollow section located at the upper region of the edge of the plank.
  • a longitudinally extending securing flange 17 projects outwardly from the lower edge of the plank and defines between it and the projection 15 a longitudinally extending recess or channel 16.
  • the flange 17 is provided with holes (not shown) spaced apart longitudinally of the flange through which screws 18 shown in Figs. 2 and 3 may be inserted to secure the plank to a supporting structure 6.
  • Undercut hook-like formations 19a and 19b are provided at the upper and lower regions of the recess 16 and co-operate with complimentary formations on the female connecting member of an adjacent plank to secure the planks together as described hereafter.
  • a shallow, longitudinally extending recess 20 is formed in the upper edge of the plank above the projection 15 and serves to receive a component of the female connecting member of an adjacent panel as described hereafter.
  • the dimensions of the projections 15 and 25 are such that each is approximately equal to half the height of the associated plank.
  • portions of the projections at 15 and 25 are arranged vertically above one another provide a rigid load bearing connection between the flange 27 at the upper edge of the plank 5B and the flange 17 at the lower edge of the plank 5A at the zone of inter-connection.
  • the inter-connection between the planks does not therefore form a point of weakness but can withstand a load similar to that which the planks as whole are designed to support and the overall structure need not therefore be over engineered to compensate for weaknesses at the zones where the planks are inter-connected.
  • Fig. 2 also shows a starter member 30 comprising an elongated extruded plastics component adapted to be secured by screws 29 to an edge of the supporting structure 6.
  • the starter member 30 has spaced upper and lower flanges 31A and 31B defining a longitudinally extending recess or channel 32 adapted to receive the projection 25 of the first plank 5 of a decking assembly and incorporates undercut projections 33a and 33b engageable with the projections 26a and 26b to retain the plank 5 in engagement with the starter member.
  • the starter member is also secured in place by screws 35 engaged through apertures (not shown) in an extension 36 of the lower flange 31B.
  • the starter strip is first secured in place by means of the screws 31 and 35 and the first plank 5A is engaged in the recess 32.
  • the plank 5A may then be secured to the structure 6 by screws 18 inserted through the securing flange 17 at the opposite longitudinal edge of the plank.
  • a subsequent plank 5B may then be connected to the free edge of the plank 5A by engaging the female connector 11 of plank 5B with the male connector 10 of plank 5A in the manner shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
  • the opposite longitudinal edge of plank 5B may then be secured to the sub-structure 6 by screws 18 inserted through the flange 17 of plank 5B and subsequent planks may then be fitted in the same way.
