Description

Detachable pavement

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed by the set forth in this specification, refers to a pavement removable formed by tiles of the type composed of two layers perfectly glued of materials of different nature or at less of different quality because the top layer can be wood noble and the low cost wood.

The top layer or view may in general be of ceramics, tile, noble wood, etc., and the lowest worst wood quality, plastic, etc., this last layer being the one that incorporates tongue and groove interconnection means in the formation of pavement.

The invention provides remarkable characteristics relevant and technical advantages over pavements that they currently exist and can be considered of their kind, among the which should be noted the simplicity of its structure and ease of assembly, which makes the product cheaper.

Background of the invention

The invention patent No. 200502049 thereof Applicant of the present invention, is relative to a pavement or detachable floor of the type considered, which is fixed by sliding horizontally the tiles, intervening in fixing some joining elements that are arranged as joints and that close Perfectly the space left between tiles.

Instead of having complementary means in two of its chants for direct tongue and groove connection as usual, All tiles are symmetrical and equal on all four sides, so they don't need to position themselves in a certain way, being provided with a recess or perimeter channel that defines the "female" portion of the coupling. The spike with function of "male" is incorporated by the connecting element that is shaped vertical laminar with short lateral fins that are finished off in cylindrical bulges

The fitting pressure is achieved by a pair of staples on each side that have a flown part that invades the recess or perimeter channel, holding by clipping or press the cylindrical bulge of the joint.

This floor is of high quality although it can  be expensive for its structure, mechanization and assembly of parts (staples) on the tiles.

Description of the invention

In general, the removable pavement object of the invention is constructed with tiles presenting in its lower layer a machining that forms a nerve or spike perimeter that does not protrude from the top layer. Each side of the tile thus presents a spike that materializes the element "male" of the tongue and groove joint between tiles.

The joint that materializes the joint element is the one that acts as a "female" of the coupling by having the form of "T" inverted with a thick crossbar provided at its ends of the grooves of adjusted input of the corresponding pin of the tile.

If the bottom layer is thin, the spike perimeter is generally centered on its edge, having the joint crossbar the same thickness of the bottom layer. According this, the upper lip of the joint enters in turn adjusted between the spike and the top layer itself, optimizing the support of the set. The lower lip flush with the hidden face of the tile and lean on the floor just like this one. If the bottom layer allows for being thicker than in the previous case, although that goes in detriment to the thickness of the top layer (all of this will depend on The strength, quality and finish characteristics of the materials with which the tile is built), the spike perimeter can be formed by machining so that its flank top is obtained when milling a groove that will obviously have a measured so that the upper lip of the joint fits tightly, defined above its grooved female. This machining always it will be more precise that the space formed in the previous case between the perimeter spike and the top layer of the tile, where penetrates the upper lip of the joint.

As a variant and reaching a degree of stiffness similar in pavement formation, the joint can be constituted in the male element if it has the lateral spikes and is the edge of the lower layer of the tile who presents by machining the connection grooving, regardless of the thickness of this layer lower that is located superior to said grooving.

For boards to effectively fulfill their work sealing sealing the passage of liquids, the soul of the board superiorly it has closing means, such as lips or fins formed between notches, which are applied under pressure against the edges of the upper layers of two adjacent tiles between the The board is interspersed.

In another embodiment, the means of sealed can be formed by configuring a tunnel on each side of the soul,  determining an arched bridge fin that stretches elastically the soul of the profile in this pressure zone.

When they fulfill the sealing function both fins like others, do not protrude from the rectangular profile of the soul, but they can be embedded in said profile by the existence of the notches or a depression in the soul.

By forming this removable pavement (it disassembled in a horizontal slide operation contrary to  of assembly), the joints that are placed embedded consecutively in a direction that we can call longitudinal, they can be the length of the strips in which the joint profile or primary profile. Those that are arranged transverse or perpendicular to the previous ones, they have the same length as the side of the tile and get ready with them, solving So perfectly the intersections. For this, these sections of board that we will call secondary profile, they have a machining at both ends that make up spikes and recesses or grooves that enable its perfect tongue and groove coupling, of the same way the anchoring of the spigot of the bottom layer takes place of the tile with the joint, leaving no empty spaces. So all the boards have their soul with equal resistance in all points, including crossing points.

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention and forming an integral part of this Descriptive report, accompanying some sheets of plans in whose figures, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature represented the following:

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures, we can see how the detachable pavement that the invention proposes, it is formed by tiles 1 of two layers 2 and 3 bonded with adhesive. The top layer 2 or view is ceramic, noble wood, or similar, and the bottom 3 of worst wood Quality, plastic, or the like. The bottom layer 3 has the perimeter pin 4 that does not protrude from the contour of the layer upper 2.

The union between tiles is carried out with the rigid or semi-rigid joints 5 with a defined "T" profile by the laminar soul 6 and the transom 7 thicker where it is grooved 8 spike receiver 4 of tile 1, in both extremes.

In the assembly according to figure 1, or the part left of figure 2, the cross member 7 of the joint has the same  thickness than the bottom layer 3 of the tile. It can be seen that the upper lip to grooved 8 fits tightly under the layer upper 2.

In the case shown on the right side of the Figure 2, having the lower layer 3 'thicker than the crossbar 7, the perimeter pin 4 is formed at the same height as in the previous case and the remaining material is at the top forming a perimeter flange 9 that is attached superiorly to the board adjusting perfectly with her. In this example represented, the top layer has been referenced with 2 'when having smaller thickness because the thickness of this tile is 1 '.

In figures 3 and 4 we clearly see the primary profiles 10 and secondary profiles 11 of joints 5 depending on the longitudinal or transverse position that occupy

Reference 12 designates the pin formed in the  mechanized ends of the secondary profiles 11. The recesses machining that lead to the formation of this spike 12 allow the insertion at the head of the souls of the "T" profiles. In Figure 3 can be seen how the pin 12 is a continuation of the perimeter pin 4 and therefore the primary profile 10 can slide to the left adjusting with said pin 12 and with the other perimeter spike 4 of the tile 1 that is mounted to the other side of the secondary profile 11.

Reference 13 designates the small fins flexible joints 5 that close the passage to liquids (see figure 3).

Finally, a wide range is shown in Figure 5 area built with this removable pavement.
