Definitions
- the present invention relates to a universal support for raised floors.
- Each support is notoriously formed by at least one base element and by a head for resting said flat elements.
- the support may have a non-tilting head rotating about a vertical axis, or a different tilting head.
- IT-1333190 discloses a height-adjustable support for raised floors with a tilting system, comprising a threaded cylindrical base, an intermediate element with a concave upper end able to house a cap body of a head for the support of flat elements of a raised floor.
- Said cap body has a convex lower surface able to rotate and tilt in said concave upper end of the intermediate element, and a substantially flat upper surface on which said flat elements of the raised floor rest.
- the tilting ability allows the cap body to be suitably inclined so as to remedy irregularities of the surface (for example a slab) on which said base rests.
- IT-1333190 is very practical in the event of an uneven surface, but it is not advisable if maintaining the parallelism between the base surface and the raised floor is desired.
- US-5588264 discloses a support for raised floors comprising a threaded base and a head with a flat upper surface on which the planes of the floor rest.
- Said head is provided with a lower surface which is coupled with the upper end of the base keeping the upper surface of the head perfectly horizontal, not tilting with respect to the base.
- a support for raised floors according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 2018/122159 A1 .
- said support adapts to base surfaces which are perfectly flat or uneven.
- said support is easily adjustable.
- the same base the same intermediate element and, occasionally, even the same head, it is possible to obtain two types of supports, one with a tilting function and one without a tilting function.
- the innovative support solves the issue of choosing and supplying the head. Stock is thus reduced, as well as the components to be transported to the assembly site.
- the installer technician will have a simplified job, less prone to errors and therefore of faster performance. The quality of the floor will be satisfactory.
- a support 1 for raised floors comprises a base 2, an intermediate element 3 and a head 4 ( Figure 1 ).
- the base 2 is able to rest on an underlying fixed surface and comprises a cylindrical cavity 5 having an internal thread 51 ( Figure 30 ) able to engage with an external thread 6 of the intermediate element 3 ( Figure 11 ).
- the intermediate element 3 ( Figure 11 ) has a cylindrical shape with said external thread 6, and a concave upper surface 7 which is centrally provided with teeth 8 and on the edge a circular groove 9 in which holes 71 are preferably made for discharging water which would otherwise stagnate.
- Each tooth 8 ( Figure 12 ) is formed by a portion 81 which protrudes upwards and a portion 82 which protrudes outwards leaving a space 83 below said portion 82.
- the portion 82 is preferably provided with a convex lower surface 84.
- a cross attachment 85 for a maneuvering tool is provided.
- the head 4 ( Figures 5-10 ) comprises an upper portion 15 with an outer upper surface 10 which is substantially flat and with teeth 11 protruding upwards, and a central compartment 40 having a central surface 16 with a central through hole 17. Said central surface 16 is preferably concave so as to facilitate the sliding of the portion 82 of the teeth 8.
- the head 4 further comprises a lower portion 12 with ribs 13 having a convex edge 131 (namely a curved surface) which converges towards a convex central surface 14 ( Figure 7 ) which ends at said central through hole 17.
- a flat surface may be provided between the convex central surface 14 and the central through hole 17.
- Said convex edge 131 continues in the convex central surface 14 forming a single convex surface which facilitates the sliding of the head 4 on the concave upper surface 7 of the intermediate element 3, as will be more apparent below.
- At least one convex portion of the lower portion 12 is there, which is able to slide on at least one concave portion of the intermediate element 3 below. It is not necessary for said convex portion to partially or completely have the shape of a rib edge which, however, advantageously stiffens the lower portion 12.
- the central surface 16 ( Figure 5 ) belongs to a same perforated body 18 which, seen from a bottom plan view, shows the convex central surface 14 ( Figure 7 ).
- the central through hole 17 is provided with curved edges 171 ( Figure 18 ) interrupted by loops 172 which protrude outwards substantially up to a lower edge of the central compartment 40.
- the convex central surface 14 comprises portions included between consecutive loops 172 ( Figure 18 ).
- the lower portion 12 of the head 4 is provided with an outer lower surface 121 ( Figures 7, 8 and 10 ) which is substantially flat and below said upper lower surface 10 of the upper portion 15.
- the lower portion 12 of the head 4 is additionally provided with an edge 18 which protrudes downwards.
- Said edge 18 has a circular shape and externally surrounds the ribs 13.
- the edge 18 may be positioned differently but it shall, in any case, protrude downwards and be able to couple with the groove 9 of the intermediate element 3 ( Figure 25 ).
- the edge 18 prevents the head 4 from tilting.
- a ring 100 is provided, comprising an upper edge 101 able to interact with the lower portion 12 of the head 4, and a lower edge 102, separably associable with the groove 9 of the intermediate element 3: advantageously the same head 4 and the same intermediate element 3 are used, adding the ring 100 in case the tilting function is to be prohibited ( Figure 34 ).
- the head 4 may only rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane on which the base 2 rests.
- the outer upper surface 10 and the outer lower surface 121 form a single annular body 200 with holes 19 ( Figures 26, 27 ) in which the teeth 20 of an anti-noise sheath 21 ( Figure 31 ), separably associable with said outer upper surface 10, engage.
- the anti-noise sheath 21 ( Figure 31 ) comprises a plurality of teeth 20 protruding from the lower surface thereof, and loops 22 ( Figure 1 ) to make room for the teeth 11 of the outer upper surface 10 following the coupling.
- the anti-noise sheath 21 is sized so as not to increase the side bulkiness of the head 4 and, substantially, not even the height thereof, since the teeth 20 are housed in the holes 19 ( Figures 26, 27 ), being the thickness of the anti-noise sheath 21 in the order of the millimeter.
- the teeth 11 are integral with the head 4 by frangible connections 27 ( Figure 5 ), so as to easily remove the excess teeth 11.
- Figure 29 shows a head 4 without teeth 11, but with a bulkhead 111 for a beam in wood, aluminum, PVC or other material.
- the intermediate element 3 is screwed into the cavity 5 of the base 2 so as to obtain a desired height.
- the head 4 is associated with the intermediate element 3 by passing the teeth 8 through the central through hole 17 using the loops 172, and then rotating it so that the lower surfaces 84 of the portions 82 of the teeth 8 come into sliding contact with the central surface 16.
- the head 4 may tilt with respect to the intermediate element 3 ( Figure 24 ): the curved edge 131 of the ribs 13 and the concave central surface 14 slide on the concave upper surface 7 of the intermediate element 3, while the teeth 8 slide on the central surface 16 of the head 4 until an optimal orientation of the outer upper surface 10, where the floor planes will rest, is found.
- the plane on which the base 2 rests is such so as not to require the tilting function, it is adopted a head 4 with the edge 18 or a support 1 with the ring 100: advantageously, the edge 18 or the ring 100 engage in the groove 9 ( Figure 25 ) thus allowing only the rotation of the head 4 with respect to the intermediate element 3 about an axis orthogonal to the support plane of the base 3; the tilting movement is not allowed.
- the shape of the portion 82 of the teeth 8 allows an effective sliding of the head 4 on the intermediate element 3, the plurality of the teeth 8 avoiding, however, accidental movements.
- the geometry of the convex lower surface 84 facilitates said sliding without jamming or breaking the teeth 8 ( Figure 12 ).
- an extension 30 ( Figure 28 ) comprising a cylinder 31 with an external thread 32 engageable in the internal thread 51 of the base 2.
- a sleeve 33 with an internal thread engageable both with said cylinder 31 and with the intermediate element 3 allows varying the height of the support 1.
- the convex surfaces may be concave and vice versa.
- the upper surface of the intermediate element 3 is generally curved, preferably concave but alternatively convex. If the central surface 16 of the upper portion 15 of the head 4 is curved, it is preferably concave but alternatively convex; the central surface of the lower portion 12 of the head 4 is curved, preferably convex but alternatively concave.
- the upper surface of the intermediate element 3 may be convex
- the central surface 16 of the upper portion 15 of the head 4 may be convex
- the central surface of the lower portion 12 of the head 4 may be concave: in the absence of the edge 18 and of the ring 100, the head 4 is able to tilt on the intermediate element 3.

Description
- The present invention relates to a universal support for raised floors.
- The realization of raised floors is increasingly widespread since it is fast, involves easy laying, while being adaptable to heterogeneous support planes both in relation to orientation as well as material.
- The quality of the work strongly depends on the supports on which the flat elements which form the raised floor rest.
- Each support is notoriously formed by at least one base element and by a head for resting said flat elements. The support may have a non-tilting head rotating about a vertical axis, or a different tilting head.
-
IT-1333190 - Said cap body has a convex lower surface able to rotate and tilt in said concave upper end of the intermediate element, and a substantially flat upper surface on which said flat elements of the raised floor rest.
- The tilting ability allows the cap body to be suitably inclined so as to remedy irregularities of the surface (for example a slab) on which said base rests.

Figure 33 shows a side view of the support ofFigure 32 ; -
Figure 34 shows a sectional view along the line XXXIV-XXXIV ofFigure 33 . - A
support 1 for raised floors comprises abase 2, anintermediate element 3 and a head 4 (Figure 1 ). - The
base 2 is able to rest on an underlying fixed surface and comprises acylindrical cavity 5 having an internal thread 51 (Figure 30 ) able to engage with anexternal thread 6 of the intermediate element 3 (Figure 11 ). - The intermediate element 3 (
Figure 11 ) has a cylindrical shape with saidexternal thread 6, and a concaveupper surface 7 which is centrally provided withteeth 8 and on the edge acircular groove 9 in whichholes 71 are preferably made for discharging water which would otherwise stagnate. - Each tooth 8 (
Figure 12 ) is formed by aportion 81 which protrudes upwards and aportion 82 which protrudes outwards leaving aspace 83 below saidportion 82. - The
portion 82 is preferably provided with a convexlower surface 84. - Between the teeth 8 (
Figure 3 ) across attachment 85 for a maneuvering tool is provided. - The head 4 (
Figures 5-10 ) comprises anupper portion 15 with an outerupper surface 10 which is substantially flat and withteeth 11 protruding upwards, and acentral compartment 40 having acentral surface 16 with a central throughhole 17. Saidcentral surface 16 is preferably concave so as to facilitate the sliding of theportion 82 of theteeth 8. - The
head 4 further comprises alower portion 12 withribs 13 having a convex edge 131 (namely a curved surface) which converges towards a convex central surface 14 (Figure 7 ) which ends at said central throughhole 17. A flat surface may be provided between the convexcentral surface 14 and the central throughhole 17. - The convex
central surface 14, and possibly said flat surface, act as a connection between theconvex edge 131 and the central throughhole 17. - Said
convex edge 131 continues in the convexcentral surface 14 forming a single convex surface which facilitates the sliding of thehead 4 on the concaveupper surface 7 of theintermediate element 3, as will be more apparent below. - It is essential that at least one convex portion of the
lower portion 12 is there, which is able to slide on at least one concave portion of theintermediate element 3 below. It is not necessary for said convex portion to partially or completely have the shape of a rib edge which, however, advantageously stiffens thelower portion 12. - The central surface 16 (
Figure 5 ) belongs to a sameperforated body 18 which, seen from a bottom plan view, shows the convex central surface 14 (Figure 7 ). - The central through
hole 17 is provided with curved edges 171 (Figure 18 ) interrupted byloops 172 which protrude outwards substantially up to a lower edge of thecentral compartment 40. - The convex
central surface 14 comprises portions included between consecutive loops 172 (Figure 18 ). - The
lower portion 12 of thehead 4 is provided with an outer lower surface 121 (Figures 7, 8 and10 ) which is substantially flat and below said upperlower surface 10 of theupper portion 15. - In a second embodiment (
Figures 18-21 ), thelower portion 12 of thehead 4 is additionally provided with anedge 18 which protrudes downwards. - Said
edge 18 has a circular shape and externally surrounds theribs 13. - The
edge 18 may be positioned differently but it shall, in any case, protrude downwards and be able to couple with thegroove 9 of the intermediate element 3 (Figure 25 ). - Unlike the first embodiment, the
edge 18 prevents thehead 4 from tilting. - In a third embodiment (
Figures 32-34 ), instead of theedge 18, aring 100 is provided, comprising anupper edge 101 able to interact with thelower portion 12 of thehead 4, and alower edge 102, separably associable with thegroove 9 of the intermediate element 3: advantageously thesame head 4 and the sameintermediate element 3 are used, adding thering 100 in case the tilting function is to be prohibited (Figure 34 ). - In the presence of the
ring 100, thehead 4 may only rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane on which thebase 2 rests. - In all embodiments, the outer
upper surface 10 and the outerlower surface 121 form a singleannular body 200 with holes 19 (Figures 26, 27 ) in which theteeth 20 of an anti-noise sheath 21 (Figure 31 ), separably associable with said outerupper surface 10, engage. - The anti-noise sheath 21 (
Figure 31 ) comprises a plurality ofteeth 20 protruding from the lower surface thereof, and loops 22 (Figure 1 ) to make room for theteeth 11 of the outerupper surface 10 following the coupling. - The
anti-noise sheath 21 is sized so as not to increase the side bulkiness of thehead 4 and, substantially, not even the height thereof, since theteeth 20 are housed in the holes 19 (Figures 26, 27 ), being the thickness of theanti-noise sheath 21 in the order of the millimeter. - The planes of the raised floor rest on the anti-noise sheath 21: advantageously, any movements following the laying of said planes on the
anti-noise sheath 21 are not felt. - On a
lower surface 25 of the base 2 (Figure 4 ) it is possible to noticegrooves 26 for discharging the water so as to limit the accumulation of dirt. - The
teeth 11 are integral with thehead 4 by frangible connections 27 (Figure 5 ), so as to easily remove theexcess teeth 11. -
Figure 29 shows ahead 4 withoutteeth 11, but with abulkhead 111 for a beam in wood, aluminum, PVC or other material. - The assembly of the
support 1 described above is very simple. - The
intermediate element 3 is screwed into thecavity 5 of thebase 2 so as to obtain a desired height. - The
head 4 is associated with theintermediate element 3 by passing theteeth 8 through the central throughhole 17 using theloops 172, and then rotating it so that thelower surfaces 84 of theportions 82 of theteeth 8 come into sliding contact with thecentral surface 16. - Without the
edge 18 or thering 100 thehead 4 may tilt with respect to the intermediate element 3 (Figure 24 ): thecurved edge 131 of theribs 13 and the concavecentral surface 14 slide on the concaveupper surface 7 of theintermediate element 3, while theteeth 8 slide on thecentral surface 16 of thehead 4 until an optimal orientation of the outerupper surface 10, where the floor planes will rest, is found. - Alternatively, if the plane on which the
base 2 rests is such so as not to require the tilting function, it is adopted ahead 4 with theedge 18 or asupport 1 with the ring 100: advantageously, theedge 18 or thering 100 engage in the groove 9 (Figure 25 ) thus allowing only the rotation of thehead 4 with respect to theintermediate element 3 about an axis orthogonal to the support plane of thebase 3; the tilting movement is not allowed. - Advantageously, with the
same base 2 and the sameintermediate element 3 it is possible to obtain two types ofsupports 1, one with a tilting function (head 4 without the edge 18) and one without a tilting function (head 4 with the edge 18). - If the
ring 100 is used, also thehead 4 does not change, thus optimizing the flexibility of thesupport 1. - The shape of the
portion 82 of theteeth 8 allows an effective sliding of thehead 4 on theintermediate element 3, the plurality of theteeth 8 avoiding, however, accidental movements. The geometry of the convexlower surface 84 facilitates said sliding without jamming or breaking the teeth 8 (Figure 12 ). - In order to increase the height range of the
support 1 it is possible to add an extension 30 (Figure 28 ) comprising acylinder 31 with anexternal thread 32 engageable in theinternal thread 51 of thebase 2. Asleeve 33 with an internal thread engageable both with saidcylinder 31 and with theintermediate element 3 allows varying the height of thesupport 1. - Alternatively, the convex surfaces may be concave and vice versa.
- Therefore, the upper surface of the
intermediate element 3 is generally curved, preferably concave but alternatively convex. If thecentral surface 16 of theupper portion 15 of thehead 4 is curved, it is preferably concave but alternatively convex; the central surface of thelower portion 12 of thehead 4 is curved, preferably convex but alternatively concave. - Alternatively to the embodiment described above and shown in the Figures, the upper surface of the
intermediate element 3 may be convex, thecentral surface 16 of theupper portion 15 of thehead 4 may be convex, and the central surface of thelower portion 12 of thehead 4 may be concave: in the absence of theedge 18 and of thering 100, thehead 4 is able to tilt on theintermediate element 3.
