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.
