Description

The invention relates to a wooden floor device with a plurality of planks mutually parallel and separated by joints in pairs, the surfaces of which form a flat wooden floor and which are arranged at right angles to the planks in a plurality of planks mutually parallel at a predetermined distance, the planks on are permanently placed in a water-permeable seepage material. The joints are provided and dimensioned in order to allow lateral expansion of the planks arranged in the outside area and thus exposed to the weather due to changes in temperature or humidity.

Wooden floor devices of the type mentioned at the beginning are used in the prior art to create a visually and haptically appealing surface that can be walked on, in particular for terraces but also, for example, for balconies, walkways or To form wooden bridges. The known wooden floor devices, however, all have the disadvantage that rainwater penetrates into the joint space formed between two adjacent planks and subsequently hits the wooden planks firmly attached to the planks, at least partially penetrates them and subsequently rot of the wooden planks on them Causes. In this way, premature wear and tear of the entire wooden floor device occurs.

The pamphlet DE 199 31 810 A1 discloses a step floor for balconies, roof gardens and similar walkable surfaces on structures exposed to the weather, which is formed from planks that are attached to connecting beams parallel and at a distance from one another, with one from the bottom of each plank on the facing narrow sides of adjacent planks to below the upper third of the height of the narrow sides reaching into the interior recess is formed, which extends parallel to the direction of the narrow sides of the planks over their entire length, and in each case a channel-shaped drainage element in the space, which is essentially of the inner surfaces of the opposing recesses of the adjacent planks and the upper edges of the connecting spars is delimited, is arranged, and the rear and upper inner surfaces of the recesses slope towards the top of the planks, the drainage element between the upper inner surfaces of the recesses and is held on the upper surfaces of the connecting bars of the step floor and on the rear end edges of the planks by a closing element located at its end and protruding beyond the profile height of the drainage element.

From the pamphlet DE 20 2006 011 380 U1 is a suspension spring, especially known for floors made of grooved wooden components, which is designed in its cross-section in the middle as a trapezoidal channel with an upwardly shaped sole, with springs connected to the side legs almost at right angles, which in turn are formed from a resilient envelope with a radius To create a floor covering for damp rooms and open terrain that is inexpensive, stable, quick to lay, durable over the long term and drains off well.

The pamphlet U.S. 5,479,750 A discloses a beam cap which is adaptable to one end of a beam, having an elongated water impermeable plate-like element having an upper surface and a lower surface and a length terminating in a pair of ends and a plurality of web means integrally integrally formed into the plate-like element Element are formed and extend along the length thereof to facilitate bending of the plate-like element on the web means to adapt the plate-like element to the end of the beam, the web means by a first groove in the upper surface and a second groove in the lower Surface are defined immediately opposite the first groove. A U-shaped element is defined by a pair of wings which are separated by a segment and together form a notch between them in order to receive the end of the beam in a press fit. Each of the wings terminates at a distal end and is structured so that moisture located on the cap outer surface is drawn away from the notch and the received beam. Materials such as B. Decking, can then from the beam and the adapted U-shaped Element must be worn in such a way that moisture cannot be trapped between the beam and the materials being carried. Thus, rotting of the beams due to trapped moisture is eliminated.
