Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Bodenbelag, umfassend eine auf den Bodenuntergrund auflegbare mattenartige Unterlage, welche mit Durchbrüchen versehen ist, und ein körniges Schüttgut, welches auf diemattenartige Unterlage aufgebracht ist, welches Schüttgut die begehbare Oberfläche des Bodenbelages bildet, und an welcher mattenartigen Unterlage an die Durchbrüche begrenzenden Stege Dorne angebracht sind, welche im auf den Bodenuntergrund aufgesetzten Zustand der mattenartigen Unterlage gegen das körnige Schüttgut nach oben ausgerichtet sind.The present invention relates to a floor covering comprising a mat-like base which can be laid on the ground and which is provided with apertures, and a granular bulk material which is applied to the mat-like base, which bulk material forms the walkable surface of the floor covering, and to which mat-like base At the openings bounding ridges spikes are attached, which are aligned in the patch on the ground surface state of the mat-like pad against the granular bulk material upwards.

Es ist bekannt, Bodenbeläge für begehbare Oberflächen durch das Aufbringen von körnigem Schüttgut zu gestalten. Dieses körnige Schüttgut kann beispielsweise aus Kies oder Kieselsteinen bestehen, welche den Bodenbelag bilden. Bevor dieses körnige Schüttgut aufgebracht wird, kann der entsprechend vorbereitete Bodenuntergrund mit einer mattenartigen Unterlage abgedeckt werden, welche wasserdurchlässig ist. Eine derartige mattenartige Unterlage hat bei aus Kies bestehendem Bodenbelag neben der optimalen Drainage die Aufgabe, zu vermeiden, dass im Bodenuntergrund Unkraut wachsen kann.It is known to make floor coverings for walk-in surfaces by the application of granular bulk material. This granular bulk material may for example consist of gravel or pebbles, which form the floor covering. Before this granular bulk material is applied, the suitably prepared ground can be covered with a mat-like base which is permeable to water. Such a mat-like base has in gravel existing flooring in addition to the optimal drainage the task of avoiding that weeds can grow in the ground.

Dieses die begehbare Oberfläche bildende körnige Schüttgut des Bodenbelags hat den Nachteil, dass durch eine starke Beanspruchung Spuren entstehen können, beispielsweise Bremsspuren durch Fahrräder oder dergleichen oder Fusseindrücke, was zur Folge hat, dass derartige Bodenbeläge entsprechend wieder planiert werden müssen, was aufwändig ist.This granular bulk material of the floorcovering forming the walk-on surface has the disadvantage that traces can arise due to heavy stress, for example skid marks caused by bicycles or the like or footprints, with the result that such floor coverings must be leveled accordingly, which is costly.

Es ist auch bekannt, die mattenartige Unterlage mit dornenartigen Vorsprüngen zu versehen, mit welchen eine Spurenbildung bei starker Beanspruchung eingeschränkt werden kann. Es kann aber nicht vermieden werden, dass beispielsweise Beine von belasteten Stühlen in das körnige Schüttgut eindringen können, was unangenehm ist.It is also known to provide the mat-like pad with thorn-like projections, with which a trace formation under heavy use can be restricted. But it can not be avoided that, for example, legs of loaded chairs can penetrate into the granular bulk material, which is unpleasant.

Aus der Veröffentlichung JP 2001 090008 A ist beispielsweise ein Bodenbelag bekannt, bei welchem eine Platte mit vorstehenden Druckaufnahmekörpern eingesetzt wird. Die scheibenförmigen Oberflächen dieser Druckaufnahmekörper bilden die begehbare Fläche des Bodenbelags und sind sichtbar. In die Zwischenräume kann ein körniges Schüttgut eingebracht werden.From the publication JP 2001 090008 A For example, a floor covering is known in which a plate with protruding Pressure receiving bodies is used. The disc-shaped surfaces of this pressure-receiving body form the walk-in surface of the floor covering and are visible. In the interstices, a granular bulk material can be introduced.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, den Bodenbelag so zu gestalten, dass das aufgebrachte körnige Schüttgut soweit fixiert ist, dass auch bei starker Beanspruchung das Entstehen von entsprechenden Spuren vermieden werden kann, und dass auch das Einsinken von Beinen von belasteten Stühlen in das Schüttgut vermeidbar ist.The object of the present invention is thus to make the floor covering so that the applied granular bulk material is fixed so far that the emergence of corresponding tracks can be avoided even with heavy use, and that also the sinking of legs of loaded chairs in the Bulk material is avoidable.

Erfindungsgemäss erfolgt die Lösung dieser Aufgabe durch einen Bodenbelag gemäß Anspruch 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a floor covering according to claim 1.

Mit dieser Ausgestaltung des Bodenbelags wird erreicht, dass durch die vorstehenden Dorne die auf die mattenartige Unterlage und zwischen die Dorne aufgebrachte Gesteinsstücke optimal gehalten und dadurch vermieden wird, dass die einzelnen Gesteinsstücke sich bezüglich der Dorne dieser mattenartigen Unterlagen und gegeneinander verschieben können. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Oberfläche dieser aufgebrachten Gesteinsstücke auch bei starker Beanspruchung gleichbleibend ist, was angenehm ist für den Benutzer und sich auch auf die ästhetische Wahrnehmung entsprechend auswirkt. Durch die entsprechend angeordneten Längsstege ergibt sich die erforderliche Stabilität dieser mattenartigen Unterlage, trotzdem lässt sie sich quer zu den Längsstegen in einfacher Weise aufrollen, was ermöglicht, eine derartige mattenartige Unterlage einfach zu transportieren und auf dem entsprechenden Bodenuntergrund auszulegen.With this embodiment of the floor covering it is achieved that optimally held by the protruding mandrels applied to the mat-like pad and between the mandrels rock pieces and thereby avoided that the individual pieces of rock can move relative to the mandrels of these mat-like documents and against each other. This ensures that the surface of these applied rock pieces is consistent even under heavy use, which is pleasant for the user and also affects the aesthetic perception accordingly. Due to the appropriately arranged longitudinal webs, the required stability of this mat-like pad results, yet it can be rolled up transversely to the longitudinal webs in a simple manner, which makes it easy to transport such a mat-like pad and interpreted on the corresponding ground.

In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Durchbrüche durch Lochreihen gebildet, die zwischen den Längsstegen verlaufen, was neben einem optimalen Wasserdurchlass auch eine einfache Herstellung ermöglicht.Advantageously, the openings are formed by rows of holes extending between the longitudinal webs, which in addition to an optimal water passage also allows easy production.

Um eine lange Lebensdauer dieser mattenförmigen Unterlage erreichen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, diese aus einem widerstandsfähigen, wetterbeständigen Kunststoff zu bilden.In order to achieve a long life of this mat-shaped pad, it is advantageous to form them from a durable, weather-resistant plastic.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass zwischen Bodenuntergrund und Unterseite der mattenartigen Unterlage eine vliesförmige Matte eingesetzt ist. Durch diese vliesförmige Matte wird vermieden, dass im Bodenuntergrund Unkraut wachsen kann und über die begehbare Oberfläche, die durch die Gesteinsstücke gebildet wird, vorstehen kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that a fleece-shaped mat is inserted between the ground surface and the underside of the mat-like pad. This fleece-shaped mat avoids that weeds can grow in the ground and can protrude over the accessible surface formed by the pieces of rock.

In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Vielecke jeweils als Quadrat ausgebildet und bilden jeweils vier Dornen die Eckpunkte eines Quadrates, beim Verwenden von Gesteinsstücken, die einen Durchmesser aufweisen, der im wesentlichen der Seitenlänge des Quadrates entspricht, wird jeweils in ein Quadrat ein Gesteinsstück eingesetzt, das durch die vier Dornen fixiert wird, man erhält dadurch eine einheitliche Oberfläche des Bodenbelags.Advantageously, the polygons are each formed as a square and each form four thorns the vertices of a square, when using pieces of rock having a diameter substantially equal to the side of the square, a piece of rock is used in each case through a square The four thorns is fixed, thereby obtaining a uniform surface of the flooring.

In vorteilhafter Weise können die Gesteinsstücke aus Kieselsteinen gebildet sein, wodurch eine besonders schöne Oberfläche des Bodenbelags erreicht wird.Advantageously, the rock pieces may be formed of pebbles, whereby a particularly beautiful surface of the floor covering is achieved.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen beispielhaft näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  • Fig. 6 eine Draufsicht auf die begehbare Oberfläche, gebildet durch die eingesetzten Gesteinsstücke. Fig. 6 a plan view of the walk-surface, formed by the inserted pieces of rock.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, ist die mattenartige Unterlage 1 aus einem plattenförmigen Grundkörper 2 gebildet. Dieser plattenförmige Grundkörper 2 ist mit Durchbrüchen 3 ausgestattet. Diese Durchbrüche 3 sind durchgehend, sodass diese mattenartige Unterlage wasserdurchlässig ist. Der plattenförmige Grundkörper 2 ist mit parallel verlaufenden Längsstegen 4 verstärkt, zwischen welchen Längsstegen 4 die Durchbrüche 3 in Form von Lochreihen 5 angeordnet sind.Like from the Fig. 1 and 2 it can be seen, the mat-like pad 1 is formed from a plate-shaped base body 2. This plate-shaped body 2 is equipped with openings 3. These openings 3 are continuous, so that this mat-like pad is permeable to water. The plate-shaped base body 2 is reinforced with parallel longitudinal webs 4, between which longitudinal webs 4, the apertures 3 are arranged in the form of rows of holes 5.

An den Längsstegen 4 sind Dorne 6 angebracht, welche im auf dem Bodenuntergrund aufgesetzten Zustand der mattenartigen Unterlage 1 gegen oben ausgerichtet sind. Im hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind diese Dorne 6 so angeordnet, dass jeweils vier Dorne 6a, 6b, 6c und 6d die Eckpunkte eines Quadrates mit einer Seitenlänge A bilden. Die Dorne könnten aber auch so angeordnet werden, dass sie beispielsweise die Eckpunkte von im wesentlichen gleichseitigen Dreiecken oder von im wesentlichen gleichseitigen Sechsecken bilden, welche Vielecke besonders optimal zwischenraumlos aneinander gefügt werden können.At the longitudinal webs 4 pins 6 are mounted, which are aligned in the mounted on the ground surface state of the mat-like pad 1 against the top. In the embodiment shown here, these mandrels 6 are arranged so that each four mandrels 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d form the vertices of a square with a side length A. However, the mandrels could also be arranged so that they form, for example, the vertices of substantially equilateral triangles or of substantially equilateral hexagons, which polygons can be particularly optimally inter-space joined together.

Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, wird diese mattenartige Unterlage 1 auf einen entsprechend vorbereiteten Bodenuntergrund 7 aufgelegt. Im hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zwischen die mattenartige Unterlage 1 und die Bodenunterlage 7 eine vliesförmige Matte 8 eingesetzt, welche ihrerseits wasserdurchlässig ist. Diese mattenartige Unterlage 1 kann in bekannter Weise auf der Bodenunterlage 7 verankert werden, wozu bekannte und nicht dargestellte Verankerungsstifte verwendet werden können, die in die Bodenunterlage 7 eingeschlagen werden. Der Kopfbereich dieser Verankerungsstifte kann umgebogen sein, wodurch die mattenartige Unterlage 1 in optimaler Weise festgehalten wird.How out Fig. 3 it can be seen, this mat-like pad 1 is placed on a prepared ground surface 7. In here illustrated embodiment, a fleece-shaped mat 8 is inserted between the mat-like pad 1 and the bottom pad 7, which in turn is permeable to water. This mat-like pad 1 can be anchored in a known manner on the bottom pad 7, including known and not shown anchoring pins can be used, which are hammered into the bottom pad 7. The head portion of these anchoring pins can be bent, whereby the mat-like pad 1 is held in an optimal manner.

Nach dem Verlegen dieser mattenartigen Unterlage 1 und gegebenenfalls dem Befestigen an der Bodenunterlage 7 werden Gesteinsstücke 9 auf dieser mattenartigen Unterlage 1 gleichmässig verteilt.After laying this mat-like pad 1 and optionally attaching to the bottom pad 7 pieces of rock 9 are evenly distributed on this mat-like pad 1.

Die Gesteinsstücke 9 können aus Kies 11 gebildet sein, wie dies auf der rechten Seite in Fig. 3 und in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. Dieses Kies 11 hat eine Korngrösse B, die mindestens der halben Länge der Seite A des Quadrates entspricht, in einen durch die vier Dorne 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d gebildeten Raum finden somit mehrere Kieskörner 12 Unterschlupf, vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Korngrösse B so ausgestaltet ist, dass nicht mehr als vier Kieskörner 12 in diesem Raum Platz finden.The rock pieces 9 may be formed of gravel 11, as shown on the right in FIG Fig. 3 and in Fig. 4 is shown. This gravel 11 has a grain size B, which corresponds to at least half the length of the side A of the square, in a space formed by the four mandrels 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d thus find several gravel grains 12 shelter, is advantageous if the grain size B so is configured that not more than four gravel grains 12 find space in this room.

Diese Gesteinsstücke 9 können beispielsweise auch aus Kieselsteinen 10 bestehen, wie dies in Fig. 3 auf der linken Seite und in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist, welche etwa eine Korngrösse aufweisen, die etwa der Länge A der Seite eines Quadrates bzw. dem Abstand der einzelnen Dorne 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d voneinander entspricht, wodurch ein Kieselstein 10 jeweils in ein Quadrat, das durch diese vier genannten Dorne gebildet wird, eingesetzt ist und dieses voll ausfüllt, wie dies auch aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist. Im hier dargestellten Beispiel wird die mattenartige Unterlage somit nur von einer Schicht von Kieselsteinen 10 bedeckt, welche durch die Dorne 6 fixiert werden. Dadurch erhält man eine sehr gleichmässige begehbare Oberfläche eines Bodenbelages.These rock pieces 9 may for example also consist of pebbles 10, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 on the left and in Fig. 5 is shown, which have approximately a grain size, which corresponds approximately to the length A of the side of a square or the distance of the individual mandrels 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d from each other, whereby a pebble 10 in each case into a square, by these four said mandrels is formed, is used and this fully fills, as well as from Fig. 5 is apparent. In the example shown here, the mat-like base is thus covered only by a layer of pebbles 10, which are fixed by the mandrels 6. This gives a very uniform walk-surface of a floor covering.

Die Höhe der Dorne 6 wird vorteilhafterweise so gewählt, dass sie kleiner ist als die Länge A der Seite des Vielecks, die zwischen die Dorne 6 eingebrachten Gesteinsstücke überragen dann die Dorne 6, welche somit kaum sichtbar sind.The height of the mandrels 6 is advantageously chosen so that it is smaller than the length A of the side of the polygon, between the mandrels. 6 introduced pieces of rock then protrude beyond the mandrels 6, which are thus hardly visible.

Diese den Bodenbelag bildenden Gesteinsstücke 9 können sich gegenseitig nicht bewegen, sie können sich dadurch nicht mit der Bodenunterlage vermischen, was eine Verschmutzung zur Folge hätte. Dies wird durch die eingelegte vliesförmige Matte 8 zusätzlich unterstützt.These pieces of rock forming the flooring 9 can not move each other, they can not thereby mix with the ground pad, which would result in contamination. This is additionally supported by the inserted fleece-shaped mat 8.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine mattenartige Unterlage 1, in welche Kies 12 eingebracht ist, wie dies zu Fig. 3 (rechte Seite) beschrieben worden ist. Hierbei ist ersichtlich, dass dieses Kies 12 eine sehr regelmässige begehbare Oberfläche bilden. Bei optimaler Korngrösse dieses Kieses 12 sind die Dorne 6 in den Zwischenräumen praktisch von Auge nicht mehr auszumachen. Fig. 6 shows a plan view of a mat-like pad 1, in which gravel 12 is introduced, as to Fig. 3 (right side) has been described. It can be seen that this gravel 12 form a very regular walk-in surface. With optimal grain size of this gravel 12, the mandrels 6 in the interstices are practically no longer visible from the eye.

Ein derartiger Bodenbelag mit Gesteinsstücken kann durch diese erfindungsgemässe Ausgestaltung auch auf geneigten Flächen angelegt werden. Die Dorne 6 halten die auf die mattenartige Unterlage ausgebreiteten Gesteinsstücke fest, ein Abrutschen dieser Gesteinsstücke wird dadurch vermieden. Zum besseren Festhalten der Gesteinsstücke auf geneigten Flächen können die Dorne 6 gegen die Neigung hin etwas gebogen sein, wie dies insbesondere aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, wodurch die Gesteinsstücke noch besser fixiert werden.Such a floor covering with pieces of rock can be created by this inventive embodiment also on inclined surfaces. The mandrels 6 hold the spread on the mat-like pad rock pieces, slipping these pieces of rock is thereby avoided. To better hold the pieces of rock on inclined surfaces, the mandrels 6 may be slightly bent against the inclination, as in particular Fig. 3 it can be seen, whereby the rock pieces are fixed even better.

Die mattenartige Unterlage 1 kann aus einem widerstandsfähigen, wetterfesten Kunststoff gebildet sein, selbstverständlich wären auch andere geeignete Materialien denkbar.The mat-like pad 1 may be formed of a durable, weatherproof plastic, of course, other suitable materials would be conceivable.

Mit dieser erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung kann ein Bodenbelag geschaffen werden, der eine begehbare Oberfläche aus Gesteinsstücken aufweist, welche Gesteinsstücke durch die mit Dornen versehene mattenartige Unterlage fixiert werden und die begehbare Oberfläche strapazierfähig macht.With this inventive embodiment, a floor covering can be created, which has a walk-on surface of pieces of rock, which pieces of rock are fixed by the spiky mat-like base provided with thorns and makes the walk-in surface hard-wearing.
