Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support structure for an elevated floor assembly.
- Such support structures generally comprise a number of pedestals, each including a column, a supporting head fixed to the upper end of the column, so as to be capable of supporting the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly, and a base plate fixed to the lower end of the column for providing a support platform for the pedestal resting on the base floor.
- the length of the column is generally adjustable, so that the height of the pedestal can be adjusted.
- all the supporting parts of the pedestal are generally made of metal, most often steel.
- such support structures generally further comprise panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals to form a generally square grid when viewed from above. Floor panels normally rest on the panel stingers and form the elevated floor.
- Such a support structure for an elevated floor assembly is e.g. disclosed in US 4,277,923 , wherein the structure comprises a plurality of pedestals and panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals.
- Each pedestal has a column with a supporting head on an upper end of the column and a base plate on the lower end of the column.
- the supporting head comprises radially protruding supporting arms for connecting panel stringers thereto.
- Each panel stringer has a generally inverted U-shaped cross-section with two generally parallel side portions and an interconnecting portion, wherein the interconnecting portion rests on the radially protruding supporting arm.
- self-tapping screws are driven through the panel stringers and the supporting head. This constitutes a rather cumbersome and time-consuming task.
- the rigidity of the support structure is not adequate.
- EP-A-1 247 922 discloses a support structure according to the preamble of claim 1.
- It is an object of the present invention is to provide an improved support structure for an elevated floor assembly, wherein a rigid support structure can be quickly erected.
- the present invention proposes a support structure for an elevated floor assembly comprising a plurality of pedestals and panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals, each pedestal having a column with a supporting head on an upper end of the column and a base plate on the lower end of the column, the supporting head having radially protruding supporting arms for connecting the panel stringers thereto, and each panel stringer having a generally inverted U-shaped cross-section with two generally parallel side portions and an interconnecting portion, wherein the interconnecting portion rests on the radially protruding supporting arm of the supporting head of the pedestal.
- At an end portion of the panel stringer at least one of the side portions comprises a cavity proximate the interconnecting portion and a guide leading from an edge of the side portion remote from the interconnecting portion to the cavity.
- the supporting arm comprises at least one lateral protrusion configured to be received in the cavities when the panel stringer is connected to the supporting arm of the pedestal.
- the cavity and the guide are formed by an indentation on the inner surface, the guide extending from an edge of the side portion into the cavity.
- both side portions comprise a cavity and a guide and the supporting arm comprises two protrusions cooperating with the two cavities.
- the cavities are preferably dimensioned so as to securely receive the protrusions therein. The secure fit achieved thereby ensures that the panel stringer cannot accidentally be detached from the supporting arm of the pedestal.
- the cavities and protrusions are advantageously arranged with slight play therebetween, so as to permit adaptation of the support structure to minor movement of the base floor.
- the guides advantageously have a cross-section narrowing in direction of the cavities. This allows easy and fast alignment of the protrusions with the grooves, through which the protrusions are automatically led to the cavities.
- the cross-section of the guides, in proximity to said cavities, is preferably slightly smaller than the cross-section of said protrusions.
- the latter must hence be forced through the narrower portions of the guides in order to reach the cavities. This means that, once the protrusions are received in the cavities, a secure connection is achieved.
- the protrusions cannot easily escape from the cavities unless sufficient force is applied in order to push the protrusions through the narrower portions of the guides. Accidental uncoupling of the panel stringers from the supporting arms is thereby prevented and an improved support structure is achieved.
- the protrusions can e.g. be rounded for easier and faster connection of the panel stringer to the supporting arm.
- the supporting head of the pedestal has four supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other.
- the supporting arms can have a panel stringer coupled thereto, thereby forming a rectangular grid on which the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly can rest.
- the supporting head of the pedestal has four main supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other and four auxiliary supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other and at 45° with respect to the main supporting arms.
- the main supporting arms can have a panel stringer coupled thereto, thereby forming a square grid on which the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly can rest. Due to the auxiliary supporting arms, further panel stringers can be arranged diagonally through the squares of the grid, thereby providing further support to the floor panels.
- stringer members are often shortened onsite to accommodate narrower floor panels.
- an end of the stringer member without corresponding cavities can be connected to the auxiliary supporting arm.
- This has the advantage that no other pedestals have to be provided for use at the edges of the elevated floor. Rather, the same pedestals can simply be turned by about 45 degrees and used to support shortened stringer members and ploor panels.
- the auxiliary supporting arms are preferably longer than the main supporting arms. This allows the panel stringers coupled to the main supporting arms to be coupled as close as possible to the centre of the pedestal. The closer the coupling is made to the centre of the supporting head, the more stable the support structure becomes.
- the supporting head is preferably generally square.
- the supporting arms of the pedestals and the interconnecting portion of the panel stringers can comprise holes, the holes being arranged so as to be in alignment when the panel stringer is coupled to the pedestal. If desired, the coupling between panel stringer and pedestal can then be complemented by additional fixing means such as e.g. screws, nails or rivets through the bores.
- Fig.1 shows a pedestal 10, which is mounted on a base floor 12 to form a support structure together with panel stringers 14, only one of which is partially shown.
- the pedestal 10 comprises a column, which is globally identified with reference number 16, a supporting head 17 fixed to the upper end of the column 16, and a base plate 18 fixed to the lower end of the column 16.
- the column 16 consists of a threaded rod 20, a bearing nut 22 screwed on the threaded rod 20 and a hollow support tube 24. The lower end of the support tube 24 is placed over the upper end of the threaded rod 20 and supported thereon by the bearing nut 22.

Only one 26 of the main supporting arms 26, 26', 26", 26'" will now be described in more detail.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a support structure for an elevated floor assembly.
- Such support structures generally comprise a number of pedestals, each including a column, a supporting head fixed to the upper end of the column, so as to be capable of supporting the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly, and a base plate fixed to the lower end of the column for providing a support platform for the pedestal resting on the base floor. The length of the column is generally adjustable, so that the height of the pedestal can be adjusted. In order to be capable of supporting heavy floor loads, all the supporting parts of the pedestal are generally made of metal, most often steel. For increased rigidity and strength, such support structures generally further comprise panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals to form a generally square grid when viewed from above. Floor panels normally rest on the panel stingers and form the elevated floor.
- Such a support structure for an elevated floor assembly is e.g. disclosed in
US 4,277,923 , wherein the structure comprises a plurality of pedestals and panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals. Each pedestal has a column with a supporting head on an upper end of the column and a base plate on the lower end of the column. The supporting head comprises radially protruding supporting arms for connecting panel stringers thereto. Each panel stringer has a generally inverted U-shaped cross-section with two generally parallel side portions and an interconnecting portion, wherein the interconnecting portion rests on the radially protruding supporting arm. In order to prevent the panel stringers from moving with respect to the supporting head, self-tapping screws are driven through the panel stringers and the supporting head. This constitutes a rather cumbersome and time-consuming task. Furthermore, the rigidity of the support structure is not adequate. -
EP-A-1 247 922 discloses a support structure according to the preamble of claim 1. - It is an object of the present invention is to provide an improved support structure for an elevated floor assembly, wherein a rigid support structure can be quickly erected.
- In order to overcome the abovementioned problems, the present invention proposes a support structure for an elevated floor assembly comprising a plurality of pedestals and panel stringers coupled between adjacent pedestals, each pedestal having a column with a supporting head on an upper end of the column and a base plate on the lower end of the column, the supporting head having radially protruding supporting arms for connecting the panel stringers thereto, and each panel stringer having a generally inverted U-shaped cross-section with two generally parallel side portions and an interconnecting portion, wherein the interconnecting portion rests on the radially protruding supporting arm of the supporting head of the pedestal. At an end portion of the panel stringer, at least one of the side portions comprises a cavity proximate the interconnecting portion and a guide leading from an edge of the side portion remote from the interconnecting portion to the cavity. The supporting arm comprises at least one lateral protrusion configured to be received in the cavities when the panel stringer is connected to the supporting arm of the pedestal. According to an important aspect of the invention, the cavity and the guide are formed by an indentation on the inner surface, the guide extending from an edge of the side portion into the cavity. In order to couple a panel stringer to a pedestal, the guide of the side portion of the panel stinger is aligned with the protrusion of the supporting arm of the pedestal. The panel stinger is then pushed downwards onto the supporting arm of the pedestal. Due to the guide, the protrusion is thereby led through the guide into the cavity. The protrusion and cavity guarantees a precise and correct position of the panel stringer with respect to the pedestal, thereby obtaining an improved support structure for an elevated floor assembly. Once the protrusion is arranged in the cavity, the panel stringer is prevented from sliding on the supporting arm, thereby eliminating the necessity of driving a screw through panel stringer and supporting arm. The support structure can hence be more easily and more quickly erected, which has a positive effect on labour costs. Preferably, both side portions comprise a cavity and a guide and the supporting arm comprises two protrusions cooperating with the two cavities.
- The cavities are preferably dimensioned so as to securely receive the protrusions therein. The secure fit achieved thereby ensures that the panel stringer cannot accidentally be detached from the supporting arm of the pedestal.
- The cavities and protrusions are advantageously arranged with slight play therebetween, so as to permit adaptation of the support structure to minor movement of the base floor.
- The guides advantageously have a cross-section narrowing in direction of the cavities. This allows easy and fast alignment of the protrusions with the grooves, through which the protrusions are automatically led to the cavities.
- The cross-section of the guides, in proximity to said cavities, is preferably slightly smaller than the cross-section of said protrusions. The latter must hence be forced through the narrower portions of the guides in order to reach the cavities. This means that, once the protrusions are received in the cavities, a secure connection is achieved. The protrusions cannot easily escape from the cavities unless sufficient force is applied in order to push the protrusions through the narrower portions of the guides. Accidental uncoupling of the panel stringers from the supporting arms is thereby prevented and an improved support structure is achieved.
- The protrusions can e.g. be rounded for easier and faster connection of the panel stringer to the supporting arm.
- According to one embodiment, the supporting head of the pedestal has four supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other. The supporting arms can have a panel stringer coupled thereto, thereby forming a rectangular grid on which the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly can rest.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the supporting head of the pedestal has four main supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other and four auxiliary supporting arms arranged at right angles to each other and at 45° with respect to the main supporting arms. The main supporting arms can have a panel stringer coupled thereto, thereby forming a square grid on which the floor panels of the elevated floor assembly can rest. Due to the auxiliary supporting arms, further panel stringers can be arranged diagonally through the squares of the grid, thereby providing further support to the floor panels. At the edges of the elevated floor, stringer members are often shortened onsite to accommodate narrower floor panels. By designing the auxiliary supporting arms without lateral protrusions, a cut end of the stringer member, i.e. an end of the stringer member without corresponding cavities, can be connected to the auxiliary supporting arm. This has the advantage that no other pedestals have to be provided for use at the edges of the elevated floor. Rather, the same pedestals can simply be turned by about 45 degrees and used to support shortened stringer members and ploor panels.
- The auxiliary supporting arms are preferably longer than the main supporting arms. This allows the panel stringers coupled to the main supporting arms to be coupled as close as possible to the centre of the pedestal. The closer the coupling is made to the centre of the supporting head, the more stable the support structure becomes. When seen from above, the supporting head is preferably generally square.
- Furthermore, the supporting arms of the pedestals and the interconnecting portion of the panel stringers can comprise holes, the holes being arranged so as to be in alignment when the panel stringer is coupled to the pedestal. If desired, the coupling between panel stringer and pedestal can then be complemented by additional fixing means such as e.g. screws, nails or rivets through the bores.
- The present invention will be more apparent from the following description of a not limiting embodiment with reference to the attached drawings, wherein

Fig.2 is a schematic top view of a supporting head of a pedestal according to the present invention; and -
Fig.3 is a schematic perspective view of an end portion of a panel stinger according to the present invention; -
Fig.1 shows apedestal 10, which is mounted on abase floor 12 to form a support structure together withpanel stringers 14, only one of which is partially shown. Thepedestal 10 comprises a column, which is globally identified withreference number 16, a supportinghead 17 fixed to the upper end of thecolumn 16, and abase plate 18 fixed to the lower end of thecolumn 16. Thecolumn 16 consists of a threadedrod 20, abearing nut 22 screwed on the threadedrod 20 and ahollow support tube 24. The lower end of thesupport tube 24 is placed over the upper end of the threadedrod 20 and supported thereon by thebearing nut 22. It follows that thesupport tube 24 can be raised or lowered by screwing thebearing nut 22 on the threadedrod 20, so that the height of thepedestal 10 can be freely adjusted. The upper end of thesupport tube 24 is connected to the supportinghead 17. The latter includes normally four or eight supporting arms to which thepanel stringers 14 are coupled. OnFigure 1 only two supportingarms 26, 26' are seen. The floor panels, which rest on thepanel stringers 14, are not shown onFigure 1 . - A top view of a supporting
head 17 of apedestal 10 is schematically shown inFig.2 . The shown supportinghead 17 comprises four main supportingarms arms arms coupling panel stringers 14 to the main supportingarms 26, a square grid is formed, on which floor panels of the elevated floor assembly can rest. Further panel stringers can be coupled to theauxiliary supporting arms 28 and diagonally arranged through the squares of the grid. This allows providing further support for the floor panels. Only one 26 of the main supportingarms - The supporting
arm 26 extends radially outwards, from the centre of the supportinghead 17 and laterally comprises two generally roundedprotrusions 30, 30'. The shape and size of theprotrusions 30, 30' is adapted to cooperate with two cavities arranged in the panel stringer as will be described below. The supportingarm 26 can further comprise ahole 32 adapted to cooperate with a hole arranged in the panel stringer as will also be described below. - As can be seen on
Fig.2 , the supportinghead 17 is preferably generally square when seen from above. The auxiliary supportingarms arms Fig.2 that the auxiliary supportingarms - A simplified perspective view of an end portion of a
panel stringer 14 is shown inFig.3 . Thepanel stringer 14 has a generally inverted U-shaped cross-section and comprises two generallyparallel side portions 34, 34' and an interconnectingportion 36. Thecorners 38, 38' of the side portions remote from the interconnectingportion 36 are preferably bevelled in order to facilitate the coupling of thepanel stringer 14 to the supportinghead 17 of thepedestal 10. - The
side portions 34, 34' of thepanel stringer 14 further comprise indentations on theinner surfaces 40, 40' of therespective side portions 34, 34'. The indentations are such as to formcavities 42, 42' and guides 44, 44' leading from the bevelledcorners 38, 38' of theside portions 34, 34' to thecavities 42, 42'. - The
cavities 42, 42' are dimensioned so as to receive theprotrusions 30, 30' of the supportingarm 26. Preferably, thecavities 42, 42' are dimensioned so as to securely receive theprotrusions 30, 30' therein, so that a secure fit between panel stringer and pedestal can be achieved. This ensures that the panel stringer cannot be accidentally detached from the supporting arm of the pedestal. Thecavities 42, 42' andprotrusions 30, 30' are further arranged with slight play therebetween, so as to permit adaptation of the support structure to minor movement of the base floor. Theguides 44, 44' have a cross-section narrowing in direction of thecavities 42, 42'. The cross-section of theguides 44, 44' at the bevelledcorners 38, 38' is bigger than that of theprotrusions 30, 30', thereby allowing easy engagement of theprotrusions 30, 30' in theguides 44, 44'. Once theprotrusions 30, 30' are engaged in theguides 44, 44', thepanel stringer 14 is pushed down onto the supportingarm 26 of thepedestal 10. Theprotrusions 30, 30' are thereby guided towards thecavities 42, 42'. - The cross-section of the
guides 44, 44' near thecavities 42, 42' is slightly smaller than that of theprotrusions 30, 30'. This means that theprotrusions 30, 30' have to be forced through theguides 44, 44' in order to reach thecavities 42, 42'. This however also means that once theprotrusions 30, 30' have reached thecavities 42, 42', they cannot easily escape therefrom. Accidental uncoupling of thepanel stringers 14 from thepedestals 10 is thereby prevented. - Due to the
protrusions 30, 30' and thecavities 42, 42', thepanel stringers 14 are prevented from sliding on the supportingarms 26 and are always positioned correctly with respect to the pedestal. Correct coupling of thepanel stringers 14 to thepedestals 10 is therefore always ensured and the correct distance between adjacent pedestals is also respected. - The interconnecting
portion 36 of thepanel stringer 14 further comprises ahole 46 arranged so as to cooperate with thehole 32 of the supportingarm 26 when thepanel stringer 14 is coupled to the supportinghead 17 of thepedestal 17. The coupling betweenpanel stringer 14 andpedestal 10 can then, if desired, be complemented by additional fixing means such as e.g. screws, nails or rivets through thebores - It will be understood that, in order to simplify the figures, the side portions and the interconnecting portion of the panel stinger shown in the present application are substantially flat. Generally however they comprise longitudinal reinforcing ribs to confer further strength to the panel stinger. Also, the supporting
arms head 17 are then generally shaped so as to correspond to the shape of the interconnecting portion of the panel stinger.
