Definitions

  • the present invention relates to supporting means particularly suitable for supporting the corners of tiles in the installation of raised floors.
  • raised floor is used to mean those floors in which the flooring panels are laid on a usually metallic structure consisting of columns and sometimes also of cross-members that transmit both the weight of the flooring itself and any loads coming to bear thereon to the subfloor below.
  • the most straightforward metal structures for this purpose consist simply of columns, generally made of galvanised steel and adjustable in height, and usually no more than 15 cm high.
  • the raised floor has become a widely-adopted construction method. Its modularity and facility of installation fully respond to the needs of flexibility typical of modern working environments.
  • the flooring Being raised off the ground, the flooring creates a cavity suitable for containing networks for distribution (electricity, lighting, air conditioning), transmission (computer systems, telephone systems) and automation (building management, security alarms and fire-fighting systems).
  • networks for distribution electricality, lighting, air conditioning
  • transmission computer systems, telephone systems
  • automation building management, security alarms and fire-fighting systems
  • door raised floor is used specifically to indicate a raised floor for installations out of doors, which is usually placed just a few centimetres, but sometimes several dozen centimetres above a subfloor coated with waterproof sheeting.
  • Said distance creates a cavity between the subfloor and the raised flooring, the height of which depends on the thickness of a plurality of substantially flat supports that sustain the corners of the flooring tiles.
  • the document DE 42 16 615 A1 refers to a process for covering water outlets with tiles without disturbing discontinuities in the flagging. But the height-adjustable pedestals used therein do not include spacer elements for separating the tiles from each other.
  • the most straightforward type generally comprises a substantially flat body with a circular base and an upper surface complete with the above-mentioned four lines of spacer elements against which the tiles resting on said surface abut.
  • Said body of the support is typically produced by the moulding of plastic materials, usually polypropylene.
  • the WO 01/59231 A describes a spacer for floor tiles which can be adapted to laying of tiles with and without gaps.
  • the document DE 19 30 438 A1 discloses a spacer for tiles which enables the laymen to realize flagging with regular gaps between the tiles, but is not referred to raised floors.
  • the CH 569 842 A5 refers to tiles containing heating wires to melt snow or ice present on the tiles.
  • the main drawback of the above type of support is that it is impossible to compensate for any differences in the level of the subfloor without resorting to the use (as is often the case in current practice) of overlapping shims for inserting locally beneath the underside of each support in order to compensate, where necessary, for any such level differences and thus enable the supports to "work on a level", which may be horizontal or slightly sloping.
  • the impracticality, instability and approximation characteristic of such a solution are self-evident.
  • This device is only used in taller supports, however, and it has the drawback of not allowing for a selective height adjustment for one or more of the corner seats on the support.
  • the present invention aims primarily to overcome the above-explained drawbacks relating to the known state of the art.
  • the invention aims to improve the stability at the interface between the tiles and the supports by comparison with the types of support in current use.
  • the invention aims to increase the ultimate bending load-bearing capacity of the single tiles, particularly in the central portion of each tile, where they do not rest on the upper surface of the support.
  • a support that has a housing in line with each of the four corner portions of the four tiles, that can be coupled, if necessary, with coupling means, enables any differences in the level of the subfloor to be compensated locally so that the support can stand stable and flat on said subfloor.
  • each of the aforesaid four portions of the body of the support to include a recess suitable for containing an adequate quantity of adhesive for attaching the corner of the corresponding tile to said body.
  • an additional advantage is achieved, by providing for the body of the support thus designed to have the aforesaid four portions in the form of lobes, extending along four respective radii of symmetry over a length no greater than half the diagonal length of the tiles to be supported thereon.
  • the support described herein comprises a body, the preferred shape of which is visible particularly in figures 1 to 4 , where said body is identified by the numeral 1.
  • Said body 1 is flat in shape, with an underside 2 suitable for resting on a subfloor and an upper surface 3 suitable for supporting flooring tiles.
  • the underside 2 has a smooth, flat surface and this is to avoid it damaging the waterproof sheet when said support is placed thereon and carries the weight of the tiles.
  • the upper surface 3 on which the tiles are placed comprises spacer elements 4 projecting from said surface and arranged in lines that meet at the centre of the body 1, as shown in figures 2 and 4 .
  • the thickness of said spacer elements 4 defines the width of the "grout joints" between the single tiles.
  • FIGS 2 and 4 show more clearly that there is a housing 5 in line with each of said four portions 11, 12, 13, and 14 , suitable for containing corresponding coupling means, as shown in the subsequent figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 and indicated therein by the numeral 6.
  • the housing 5 and the coupling means 6 are represented respectively by a threaded through hole, again indicated by the numeral 5 , and a screw cap, again indicated by the numeral 6, that can engage in said threaded hole, being inserted gradually from above as explained in greater detail later on.
  • the underside 2 resting on the subfloor is defined by four circular rings 21 comprising the bottom of said threaded hole 5.
  • Said four rings 21 have a diameter large enough to ensure that the body 1 can stand firmly and stably on a substantially flat subfloor.
  • the screw cap 6 has a cup-shaped head surrounded by a flat rim 61 and comprising a manually-operated central element 62 for screwing the cap inside the corresponding threaded through hole 5.
  • the screw cap 6 also has a wide flat base 63 suitable for resting stably on the subfloor.
  • figure 9 shows one of the screw caps 6 placed over a threaded hole 5 ready to be inserted from above, in a direction along the arrow X , inside said hole.
  • this threaded hole 5 is a through hole, i.e. it passes completely through the body 1 of the support and thus enables the screw cap 6 to emerge from the flat base 63 of the underside 2 of said body.
  • the flat base 63 of the screw cap 6 emerges from the plane of the circular rings 21 at the bottom of each of the threaded holes 5.
  • the cap can simply be screwed down enough to ensure that the flat base 63 of the cap comes into contact with the subfloor SF in order to compensate locally for any level differences of the subfloor, so that the support rests stably in line with all four portions of the body 1.
  • Such a compensation for any level differences is particularly necessary in line with the areas of overlap in the insulating sheet, as shown for instance in the same figure 10 .
  • each screw cap 6 must be equal to or less than the depth of the threaded hole 5 , so as to avoid it extending with the flat rim 61 on the head of the screw cap beyond the upper surface 3 of the body 1 when the base 63 of the screw cap begins to emerge from the plane of the circular rings 21.
  • the height of the screw cap 6 and the consequent distance between said underside 2 and upper surface 3 of the body 1, must be greater than the maximum level difference encountered in the subfloor.
  • Said recess 8 is preferably circular in shape and is located advantageously between the threaded hole 5 and the centre of the body 1.
  • the adhesive placed in said recess assures a greater stability for the tile resting on the corresponding portion of the body of the support.
  • a further novel characteristic of the support according to the invention lies in the shape of the four equal portions of the body 1, a shape that is clearly visible, for instance, in figure 4 .
  • each lobe along its own axis of symmetry is such as to avoid it interfering with the corresponding lobes of adjacent supports placed in an orderly arrangement on the subfloor.
  • said lobes advantageously extend along their respective four axes of symmetry over a length that is greater than a quarter, but no more than half of the diagonal length of the tiles.
  • the above-described novel shape serves the purpose of increasing the area on which each four-cornered tile is supported in the direction of each of its diagonal lengths.
  • the central portion of the tiles is the area most liable to bending stress as a consequence of loading on the tiled floor, and this is because there are large central areas of each tile without any support, especially when the normal circular supporting means are used.
  • the body 1 of the support is substantially flat, but made lighter by suitable cavities, some of which are identified by the numeral 7 in the figures, and this is mainly for the purpose of saving material.
