Description

    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a slab designed to be applied on a raised-access floor or for its positioning on the deck as a raised-access floor.
  • This slab has optimal characteristics as regards fire resistance by virtue of its particular configuration, and protection against fractures, wear and abrasion, in particular during its handling and assembly, which also determines a greater durability of the slabs which leads to lower costs.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The raised-access floor is a system which arises from the need to conceal the large number of installations present in working areas, technical rooms or other places where there is a great density of cables, piping and ducts of various types.
  • The raised-access floors for interiors enable the distribution of installations under the floor, whilst making them quickly and simply accessible, allowing a convenient access to the installations at the same time as an easy and fast replacement of parts.
  • The slabs or boards that form this type of floor are normally placed without the need for gluing on a height-adjustable steel structure or pedestal, achieving a firm false floor on the existing deck.
  • The inspectable raised-access floor is adaptable to any class of space and constructions and is generally composed of slabs of standard measurement on said pedestal creating a chamber (plenum) which defines a free space under the slabs which enables the placement of telephony, electricity, water, air conditioning installations, etc.
  • The slabs can be configured in different materials which do not always properly adjust and/or require coatings for their protection and adjustment, which on occasions require later grinding treatment, which are particularly expensive.
  • Likewise, in the case of fire the raised-access floor has the problem that is deforms and melts, and it therefore hinders the passage of fire brigades.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a floor slab that can be applied on a raised-access floor or which can be directly used for its positioning on the deck as a raised-access floor, having improved characteristics, among others, as regards fire resistance.
  • The slab incorporates a core of any material, whether porous or not, in which case it may have a porous primer, which may be, for example, a stony, ceramic, fibre, wood or other material, comprising in its edges a covering or layer of thermosetting resin, which may have a thickness in the order of between 1 and 1.5 mm for example, and which guarantees its hermetic sealing, and it comprises metal supports which emerge from the lower surface of the core and determine an elevation of the core and, therefore, a space between supports which allows, for example, the passage, of ducts, pipes or cables.
  • The supports determine the permanent lift of the slab and, therefore, the floor. In the event that a fire occurs, the metal character of the supports guarantees this lift, since the supports are not going to be affected by the fire, whilst the fire consumes the melting materials in the environment, maintaining unalterable the stability of the floor, which would facilitate the passage, for example, of the fire brigades.
  • The metal supports also allow establishing an earth connection of the slab.
  • The metal supports may consist, for example, of bushings of hexagonal configuration or another, and its internal bore may or may not be threaded. Furthermore, the way in which the joint of the supports to the core is established may be, for example, by gluing or by moulding.
  • Additionally, the incorporation has been provided of feet which allow a greater height elevation of the slab and which are fundamentally formed by a tubular metal piece which would remain underneath and in contact with the metal support in order to provide continuity in its earthing, as well as provide it with stability.
  • Preferably, it has been provided that the tubular parts of the feet house bolts which protrude by at least one of their ends and which are designed to thread in the threaded bores of the metal supports. The tubular parts may be coated with a resin and have hexagonal configuration, and they may protrude with respect to the resin, for example, by one of its ends, so that they allow its gripping by a tool that provides the turning and, therefore, the consequent displacement and positioning in height of the foot with respect to the support.
  • Additionally, it has been provided that the slab incorporates metal blocks which may be manufactured by plate stamping, wherein each block consists of several housings designed to receive the feet of adjacent slabs the corners of which join in a same point. In this way, with a block positioned in accordance with the corner of each slab, it guarantees the positioning and adjustment of the slabs that join in each block, and therefore, their assembly and dismantling.
  • Depending on the nature of the core, the possibility has been provided of reinforcing its lower surface, for example for the case of cores of ceramic or wooden material, applying at least one first layer of resin. This first layer of resin may be crystallized with silica load.
  • Additionally, it may incorporate a second layer of resin, applied on the first layer, which would give the core elasticity and could be formed by an epoxy of elastic components.
  • The first and the second layer of resin may cover part of the supports, leaving one/some of said supports with the end of the metal surface of the bushing uncovered.
  • Complementarily, and optionally, it contemplates the possibility of applying a final grinding to the slab edges in order to facilitate the adjustment in the assembly or dismantling of the slabs.
  • Among the advantages provided by the slab of the present invention, the following should be listed:
    • Saving in costs, in the case of using in the core materials such as granite, for example, as its edges are covered with a thermosetting material they give it protection against breakages and wear, in particular during its handling and assembly, which in the long term determines greater durability of the slabs which lead to a lower cost,
    • It guarantees the earth connection,
    • Fire resistance, the resins may melt in the case of fire, but the metal surfaces do not, which guarantees the positional and height stability of the slab and, therefore, of the floor during a fire,
    • The edging also guarantees a hermetic seal which protects against wear, abrasion, and gives resistance against the action of chemical agents,
    • It facilitates the adjustment in the assembly and ease of dismantling with highly demanding tolerances,
    • Achieves greater insulation of the slab,
    • Allows its adaptation to different installations,
    DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • To complement the description being made and in order to aid towards a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description wherein, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented:
    • Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a slab wherein the upper surface of the core is observed coated where applicable in a thermosetting coating.
    • Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of a slab by its lower surface wherein a core is observed provided with a first layer of resin and a second layer of resin which has been partially represented to display the first.
    • Figure 3.- Shows a sectional view of a detail of the slab wherein a support is observed of the slab which rests on a foot, which in turn rests on a block.
    • Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view of the foot.
    • Figure 5.- Shows a perspective view of the block which consists of four housings designed to position and house the feet of the four slabs which join by their vertices in a same point.
