Definitions

  • the invention is directed towards the sector of horizontal floor coverings.
  • the invention relates to a modular support system for flooring, and is particularly (but not exclusively) directed towards covering for outdoor public or private locations, such as gardens, swimming pools, terraces, balconies, etc....
  • each single tile, forming said covering systems is obtained through a modular square frame made of plastic material, suitable to receive slats, prevalently made of wood, fastened thereon, and subsequently suitable to be coupled with other identical modules, to produce the entire flooring.
  • frames available on the market are divided according to geometrical grids of rows and columns and present along their perimeter a series of elements for interlocking with adjacent modules.
  • Said elements are generally connectors of complementary shape of the male/female type and can be positioned along the perimeter of the grid with two different methods. In a first arrangement, male type couplings are present on two adjacent sides and female type couplings are present on the remaining two adjacent sides.
  • the male and female couplings are positioned mutually alternated, so that both male and female type couplings are present on each side of the frame.
  • the female type couplings are prevalently C-shaped and are closed inferiorly by a stiffening membrane, while the male type couplings are substantially T-shaped.
  • Each single tile can be cut without distinction along separation lines of the columns and of the rows, in order to produce smaller elements, also of different shape, according to the preferred installation method or to the extension requirements of the surface to be covered.
  • the slats above the plastic frame are normally fastened with screws, distributed evenly on the area of the tile, so as to ensure fastening thereof even to smaller portions of frame, for example after cutting along the aforesaid lines.
  • the invention intends to overcome these limits, by producing a modular support frame for pavements, which is easy to install and perform maintenance on, extremely versatile, stable, long lasting and strong.
  • a modular support frame for flooring comprising a mesh grid made of plastic material, lateral connectors of complementary shape and spacer feet positioned according to a configuration of rows and columns, characterized in that a pair of mutually alternated complementary connectors are positioned at the end of each row and column.
  • the grid is square in shape and comprises four rows and four columns, and consequently four pairs of connectors on each side.
  • the plurality of interlocking lateral connectors allows the module to engage temporarily with other similar elements, to create a floor surface, and the series of spacer feet, as well as allowing the slats of the covering to be screwed to the plastic grid, contribute towards the stability of the tile.
  • the invention presents numerous advantages: the Interlocking connectors, thus positioned and due to their connection section, without horizontal stiffening membranes, make installation extremely easy and fast, and also facilitate removal of one or more elements, even in the centre of the flooring, for maintenance and inspection purposes.
  • the aforesaid distribution of the connectors makes the tile element extremely versatile and allows any preferred composition to be produced, with the covering slats oriented as required, even after cutting into smaller portions, along lines parallel to the sides of the grid. It is also possible to cut only one single row to be used as decorative finishing edge of the flooring or as baseboard. When used as baseboard, the presence of two connectors for each side of each row allows stable coupling to prevent rotation between subsequent elements. The presence of two complementary connectors at the ends of each row and of each column also allows these to be coupled without any restriction of mutual orientation. Finally, the arrangement of the connectors allows the modules to be fastened staggered by only one column or one line, so as to easily follow specific oblique or curvilinear profiles, without increasing cuts and scraps, and therefore limiting costs and expenses for dealing with waste.
  • the floating support system allows installation on any pre-existing surface, ensuring maximum support, maximum strength and maximum safety against overturning also due to the vertical dimensions of the lateral connectors: advantageously, these connectors are positioned so that their lower height corresponds to the lower height of the spacer feet positioned in the centre of the grid, to increase the supporting surface and also ensure maximum stability along the perimeter.
  • this shows a square mesh grid 1, made of plastic material, which can be easily divided into rows R and columns C, and complete, along its perimeter, with lateral connectors 2 of complementary shape, of female 2a and male 2b type.
  • Spacer feet 3 are distributed evenly on the grid, positioned in pairs along rows and columns inside the mesh, suitable to ensure that the tile rests on the installation surface, and which can also be used, due to their axial holes 4 to screw the covering portion 5 onto the grid 1.
  • each column or row terminates with a pair of connectors, one male and one female.
  • This latter is of the completely "open” type, i.e. it does not present horizontal stiffening membranes, and this ensures that the male connectors can be inserted from above or below and makes it extremely easy to install and perform maintenance on the entire flooring.
  • the spacer feet 3 and the lateral connectors 2 have the same lower height, so as to ensure high stability, especially in the case in which the supporting surface is of the impenetrable type and edge loads occur along the perimeter of the tile, which could cause overturning.
  • the spacer feet 3 can be used to fasten the covering 5 characterizing the tile, by means of screws 6 to be inserted in the holes 4.
  • Said covering can be produced by tonguing and grooving plastic or wooden slats, but according to alternative variants it can take different forms in different materials.
  • Fig. 4 shows an interlocking portion between two adjacent modules, where the "female" element 2a encloses the “male” element 2b to ensure perfect coupling.
  • the support frames can be mutually coupled so as to obtain various compositions, also adaptable to specific solutions.
  • Fig. 5 shows a flooring with an edge composed of a row R
  • figure 6 shows a flooring with the frames mutually connected rotated by 90°
  • Fig. 7 shows how by coupling the frames staggered by one row it is possible to follow the inclined sides of the surface to be floored
  • Fig. 8 shows the use of single rows mutually coupled to produce a baseboard.
  • the invention has been described with reference by way of example to modular plastic frames for removable outdoor flooring, but it can be used more in general as a support for any covering, of any material and form, both for outdoors and indoors, in public or private locations, also in the presence of water and humidity.
