Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ergonomic flooring, intended for being applied as a covering for floors and having a series of features permitting new and better benefits of use to be obtained for people walking on it.
  • the object of the invention is to provide flooring which, on the one hand guarantees the mechanical and durability properties of the stiff material required in floor coverings, and on the other hand improves the comfort and reduces the fatigue of users passing over that flooring.
  • a wide range of materials can be used for floor coverings, in terms of both the shape and nature thereof, whether they be based on stiff modular sheets or on the basis of continuous coverings in such a way that, depending on their type, the properties of the flooring and its interaction with the users, they can be varied to a large degree with the aim of satisfying the established needs.
  • multi-layer systems which incorporate lower layers of greater stiffness for improving the mechanical resistance of the flooring as a whole, for example, glass adhered on ceramic.
  • Spanish Utility Model ES 1058248 U describes a covering system comprising a stiff surface sheet and a lower layer of less density with the aim of providing acoustic and thermal insulation for the flooring, this latter layer being able to consist of natural cork.
  • the covering or flooring described in that Spanish utility model is stiff and does not have adequate capacity for deformation that would permit its interaction with the user to be moderated.
  • stiff materials in general such as for example ceramic, natural stone, terrazzo, concrete, etc.
  • stiff materials in general such as for example ceramic, natural stone, terrazzo, concrete, etc.
  • they due precisely to their low capacity for deformation, they produce a high concentration of pressure during the support cycle associated with a human step (from the moment the foot touches to the ground to when it takes off again), and especially at the instant following the impact of the heel, which can lead to an impact that is harmful for users and to an increase in general fatigue during prolonged periods of standing or walking.
  • the flooring forming the object of the invention as a floor covering displays the particular feature of complying with the quality of stiffness and wear-resistance or durability, and at the same time having the capacity for deformation and absorption of impacts in order to improve the comfort of users, improving the distribution of pressures during the phase of supporting the foot and favouring the blood circulation in the lower extremities, in short reducing the intensity of the impacts produced when walking.
  • the flooring of the invention consists of at least two layers of different materials, with one of said layers presenting a greater stiffness and different nature than the others, with the object of providing resistance properties to tensions and resistance to wear, and therefore providing durability for the whole flooring.
  • the other layer, or other layers in the event of there being several, are made of a material which displays less stiffness and greater deformation capacity in order to permit cushioning or absorption of impacts associated with the transit of users.
  • the stiff layer can be formed on a basis of ceramic pieces, natural stone, terrazzo, wooden laminas, hardened plastics or similar materials with high resistance and stiffness, being able to have any shape or contour and size.
  • the stiff layer is produced by means of the attachment of different pieces without the existence of any additional element between the adjacent pieces.
  • the stiff layer is produced by the attachment of different pieces with the existence of joints between adjacent pieces, in such a way that in this case the attachment between adjacent pieces is carried out by means of those joints.
  • the joints are elastic with the aim of admitting deformations produced when the relative positions of adjacent pieces or tiles forming the stiff layer are varied.
  • the layer or layers with deformation or absorbing capacity will be able to consist of a suitable material complying with the condition of being able, in a controlled manner, to absorb impacts produced when people walk on the flooring.
  • This material is selected from among various different materials displaying a certain flexibility and deformation capacity, such as rubber, plastic, various polymers, etc.
  • the layers will be able to be attached together or otherwise by means of adhesive materials, with the particular feature that the flooring can either include a layer of wear-resistant or stiff material and a single layer of deformable or absorbing material beneath that layer, or it can include a layer of wear-resistant or stiff material and more than one layer of deformable or absorbing material beneath the layer of wear-resistant or stiff material.
  • the thickness of the layers and the nature of the materials forming the layers are those that are suitable for ensuring that the intensity of the impact generated while they support the heel can be regulated in line with expected conditions of standing and/or walking.
  • the flooring created in the manner described is susceptible to application in order to reduce tiredness or fatigue and increase comfort, both in premises or places where the standing position of the user predominates and in extensive floor areas where the user maintains a continual transit or walking.
  • the inventive flooring comprises a stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 and at least one absorbing layer 2, the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 presenting certain wear-resistant and stiffness qualities greater than those of the absorbing layer 2, and said stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 being able to be materialised in granite, cement or any other material complying with the requirement of displaying a resistance to wear and a stiffness greater than those presented by the absorbing layer 2, while said absorbing layer 2 is deformable, constituting a means of adsorption for the whole of the flooring, being able to be materialised in rubber or other appropriate material.
  • the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 is arranged on the upper part of the absorbing layer 2, in such a way that in all cases the layers 1 and 2 are simply superimposed on each other or they are conveniently attached by means of an adhesive.
  • the inventive flooring is characterised in that it comprises a stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 and at least one absorbing layer 2, the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 being able to be formed from stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4 which can be materialised in ceramic materials, natural stone, terrazzo, wooden laminas, hardened plastics or any other material presenting greater resistance and greater stiffness than the rest of the layers in order to guarantee the mechanical and durability properties of the whole flooring, said stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 being arranged on one or several absorbing layers 2 consisting of materials with a greater deformation capacity, which permit absorption of impacts associated with the transit of walkers.
  • Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the invention in which three different layers are seen: in the upper zone is a stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 and below it is an absorbing layer 2 and an additional absorbing layer 2', these two absorbing layers 2,2' being able to have different configurations between them, and they can be embodied in different materials.
  • the thickness and nature of the different layers, 1,2,2' are adjusted so that the flooring as a whole presents a suitable level of mechanical properties and simultaneously improves the biomechanical variables related to standing and/or walking, favouring the comfort of users and being applicable to both to premises or places where the static position of the user predominates and for favouring the absence of fatigue during prolonged transit or walking.
  • the construction system is designed from the construction and/or architectural point of view so that integrated ergonomic functionalities can be presented, applying industrial design criteria.
  • the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 habitually made of a stiff material, can have a specific surface design consisting of textures of varying roughness, non-slip reliefs or tactile elements with the aim of optimising the ergonomic properties, safety and accessibility of the flooring.
  • the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 can be formed from the attachment of a set of stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4, such as tiles for example, with these stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4 being able to have any contour and size, and a thickness suited to different needs.
  • the absorbing layer 2 can be formed from the attachment of a set of absorbing pieces 5, these absorbing pieces 5 being able to have any contour and size, and a thickness suited to different needs.
  • the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 is produced by means of the attachment of different stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4, without the existence of any additional element between adjacent stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4.
  • the stiff, wear-resistant layer 1 is produced by means of the attachment of different stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4, with the existence of joints 3 between adjacent stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4, in such a way that in this case the attachment between the adjacent stiff, wear-resistant pieces 4 is done by means of those joints 3.
  • the joints 3 are elastic with the aim of admitting deformations produced when the relative positions of the adjacent stiff pieces 4 or tiles forming the resistant layer 1 is varied.
