Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an access floor sealing device for sealing gaps between access floor panels.
  • Raised access floors require that a gap is provided to cater for expansion and/or compression of the panels in use. However if the void space under the access floor is to be used as a plenum chamber then this required gap needs to be sealed to hold the air pressure.
  • a foam sealing strip is bonded to a panel edge.
  • this approach has a number of disadvantages. Removal of a panel or a portion of the foam sealing strip will often result in damage to either the panel edge or seal or both. As a results it is often not possible to reuse a sealing strip when it has been disturbed from its initial position.
  • a further disadvantage is that variation in the side configuration of panels makes a universal sealing strip difficult to use. It is required that the sealing strip be very precisely located with respect to the panel surface in order to create a seal. The process of applying the sealing strip is labour intensive and time consuming requiring the user to peel off backing tape from the seal and then carefully apply the tape to all four edges of the floor panels.

  • the carrier 4 is mounted on the pedestal 26 such that the carrier top 6 rests on a portion of the top 28 of the pedestal and portions of the depending sides walls 5 extend downwardly through the grooves 27. Portions of the side walls 5 are thus securely engaged with the pedestal 26 and the sealing device 1 is prevented moving sideways or off-centre relative to the pedestal and the access floor panels.
  • the task of laying an access floor and the sealing device is eased by the form of the carrier wich has mounting means configured for mounting on the access floor support and in particular has guide means to enable the carrier to be mounted in alignment with the floor support and the panels.
  • the carrier 4 is supported on access floor pedestals 26 and on stringers 29.
  • the top 6 of the carrier rests on the top of the stringer 29 and side walls 5 extend downwardly on either side of the stringer 29 so that the stringer is engaged in the opening 8.
  • the carrier and the sealing device 1 are thus held securely in position on the stringer 29 and pedestals 26.
  • a device 51 of an alternative embodiment comprises a carrier 54 having a substantially flat top 56 and depending side walls 55.
  • the free end of the carrier 54 comprises a protruding tongue 58 and the carrier side wall 55 defines an end stop 59.
