Definitions

  • This invention relates to floor panels and it particularly relates to modular floor panel systems, for example stair treads and nosings.
  • a known modular stair tread is the ALISPARTM stair tread and nosing marketed by Magma Safety Products Limited , described at their website:- http://www.magmasafety.co.uk/alispar/alispar.htm . As shown, this stair tread and nosing comprises the following components:-
  • a modular floor panel system comprises panel components each having:-
  • out of the common plane of is meant any relative movement between panel components to interconnect joint parts in the plane of a floor on which the components are to be mounted, the “common plane”, which relative movement does not consist of one panel meeting edge either being moved towards or along the meeting edge of an adjacent panel in the common plane.
  • Dovetail joints such as that disclosed by the ALISPARTM stair nosing and tread, do not meet this definition as they require one panel meeting edge to be moved along the meeting edge of an adjacent panel generally in the plane of the two components. Snap-fit joints require at least some relative planar movement towards one another.
  • the joint parts are complementary, down-turned and up-turned hooks.
  • the hooks may each have an included angle of between 0° and 45° to the perpendicular to the plane of the component; with a preferred angle of approximately 15°.
  • the system is for a modular stair tread and riser system which may comprises a stair nosing component, a tread plate component and/or a chamfer plate component.
  • a modular stair tread and nosing system 10 comprises a series of extruded aluminium components, in the example, a stair nosing 12, a tread plate 14 and a chamfer plate 16.
  • Fig. 1 shows a stair nosing 12 that is generally L-shaped with a down-turned front piece 18 and an upper panel 20.
  • a series of laterally-extending, integral, generally T-shaped ribs 22 protrude from upper panel surface 24; the T-shaping enabling ribs 22 to mechanically key with a non-slip infill 28 bonded to the upper panel surface, see Figs, 4 and 5.
  • One rib 30 may be higher and generally rectilinear so as to provide a visible break in the infill.
  • a series of laterally-extending generally dovetail-shaped ribs 23 protrude from lower panel surface 26.
  • the upper panel terminates in rear edge 32 with an integral, down-turned hook 34 extending there along.
  • the axis I-I of this hook is inclined at an angle ⁇ of approximately 15° to one side of the perpendicular to the plane of the upper panel.
  • Fig. 2 shows a tread plate 14 that is generally similar to nosing upper panel 20 and like parts have the same references.
  • front edge 36 of tread plate 14 has a width-wise extending, integral, upturned hook 38, complimentary to nosing hook 34; the axis II-II of this hook has an angle ⁇ of approximately 15° to the other side of the perpendicular to the plane of the tread plate.
  • the rear edge 40 of tread plate 14 has an integral, down-turned hook 42; the axis I-I of this hook is inclined at an angle ⁇ of approximately 15° to the one side of the perpendicular to the plane of the tread plate.
  • Fig. 3 shows a chamfer plate 16 that has an inclined, planar, upper surface 44 terminating in a rear edge 46.
  • the under surface 48 is generally flat with a laterally-extending, dovetail-shaped groove 49. Upper surface may have transverse, slip-resistant ribbing (not shown).
  • the front edge 50 of chamfer plate 16 has an integral, upturned hook 52, complimentary to nosing rear hook 34 or tread rear hook 42; the axis II-II of chamfer hook 52 has an angle ⁇ of approximately 15° to the other side of the perpendicular to the plane of the chamfer plate.
  • a nosing plate 12 is fitted to a stair nose 54, a tread plate 14 is then fitted to nosing plate 12 by locating tread front hook 38 under nosing rear hook 34 and then rotating tread plate 14 clockwise to lift the rear of tread plate 14 sufficiently to enable the tread front hook 38 to engage under nosing rear hook 34, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • Chamfer front hook 52 is similarly engaged under tread rear hook 42. This mode of interengagement is out of the common plane of the stair tread and enables the components to be fitted one-at-a-time in the confined space of a stair well as no planar movement of a component towards another component is needed.
  • the components can be fixed to the stair 54 by a bonding agent (cement) 56, the dovetail-shaped lower surface ribs 23 and dovetail-shaped groove 49 providing a mechanical key and/or by fixings (such as nails or screws) through the components into the stair; only the rear of any component needs to be fixed, as it traps the front of the adjacent component.
  • Components can be fixed to the stair one-at-a-time or as an assembled whole.
  • the interconnected, complimentary angled hooks resist vertical movement between joined components as well as planar movements, such that all components do not need to be fixed to a surface; for example tread 14 could be left free, depending upon fixed nosing 12 and chamfer 16.
  • the angle of the hooks improves the mechanical interlock between adjacent, interconnected, essentially rigid components without reliance on additional snap-fit features.
  • Stair nosings and tread plates of differing lengths can be provided to enable a range of stair treads to be fitted using standardised component plates. Some applications may not require a chamfer plate, in which circumstance it will be noted that tread plate 14 will finish with a down turned hook 34; presenting a pleasing appearance and not forming a dirt trap.
  • Non-inclined, hooks of the same orientation would function to keep component parts together as they are being assembled, but would not function to hold parts together vertically once they have been assembled. All component parts would need to be fixed to a floor. Whilst an included angle of 15° has been described, this could be any angle in the range 0° to 45°.
  • the vertical/rotational engaging movement of a hook joint enables components to be engaged close to a vertical surface, for example the riser of the next stair, as no relative planar movement between components is required.
