ES2247941A1 - Detachable surface coating, has ceramic pieces united to inferior pieces by adhesive, evacuation camera fixed on coating corresponding to legs of inferior pieces, and narrow separation channels arranged between inferior pieces - Google Patents

Abstract

The coating has inferior pieces (1) made of plastic material with short legs of a support in a ground. Ceramic pieces (2) are united to the inferior pieces by an adhesive. An evacuation camera is fixed on the coating corresponding to the legs of the inferior pieces, and narrow separation channels are arranged between the inferior pieces.

Description

Removable surface coating.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a detachable surface coating applied essentially to floors, terraces, etc; which has the peculiarity of being easily removable and allow the correct evacuation of water and liquids that may fall on its surface.

These qualities make it especially applicable. to exterior surfaces, subject to rain and water from pools, for example.

It is also planned to place indoors, and even with proper adaptations to coat surfaces vertical

Thus, it can be said that it is applicable in General to the following surfaces:

- outdoor pools, terraces and gardens.

- Home interiors.

- Nautical navigations.

- Food handling premises (cameras refrigerators, industrial kitchens, etc.).

- Pedestrian areas in ports and beaches.

On the other hand, the coating of the invention It is not only used as a drainage system but also as innovative ceramic installation system using materials plastic and ceramic together.

Background of the invention

There are currently different coatings for floors, highlighting those that apply to surfaces outside to facilitate the evacuation of rainwater and also in pool areas.

In some cases, the coatings comprise plastic parts of hollow structure with a certain thickness that determine a lower evacuation chamber (81017449).

These coatings can present problems of hygiene, while aesthetically leaving much to be desired.

In other cases, the coatings comprise bodies made of porous materials, which although it is true that they are able to evacuate a certain water flow when this increases saturation occurs. In addition, the porosity of such bodies facilitates in some cases the proliferation of fungi and bacteria

Description of the invention

The removable surface coating will characterized in that it comprises in principle the combination of some lower drain support elements and upper plates which are fixed on said support bodies, so that when it falls water on that lining, be it rain, pool or others, that fluid does not remain on the exterior view surface, but rather reaches the lower chamber formed by the support elements of  drainage, through separation slots between the plates when these are of ceramic material or similar.

This combination of elements provides a inhibitory coating, both of dampness and retention of water because the fallen water reaches the lower chamber formed for the support elements that are essentially made of material plastic.

It is also a hygienic product thanks to the incorporation of the upper plates that are the ones that are externally arranged

The support elements basically comprise a flat structure with holes or through windows that have a set of short support legs, also incorporating middle side edges of hitch with other support elements adjacent.

When the plates are ceramic pieces, the they are fixed to the lower supports leaving some slots of separation between them so that the water reaches through said slots the corresponding lower chamber with the brackets, thus achieving the correct evacuation or flow of liquid to evacuate.

Another possibility could be that the pieces ceramics are in contact all by their side edges and count  the same with small through windows so that the water reaches the lower chamber

Another possibility is that the ceramic pieces incorporate some channels, whose bottoms have a certain inclination descending towards the perimeter of the ceramic pieces in order to favor the fall of the liquid to the grooves or joints of separation between the ceramic pieces and facilitate evacuation of the water.

Preferably the material used for the support elements will be low density polyethylene, although it could Be any other.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same being accompany some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the removable surface coating comprises the combination of some inferior pieces or supports of material plastic (1) and upper parts (2) preferably of ceramic nature, joining both by their faces in contact by a suitable adhesive (3), or any other means.

The lower supports (1) incorporate a set of holes or through windows (4), as well as short ones  support legs (5) on the floor, creating a camera of rainwater evacuation, pool, etc. The supports (1) They also incorporate some slots (12).

In turn, the lower parts (1) have complementary anchoring elements (6 and 7) to associate the different bottom pieces (1) with each other.

On the other hand, the edges of the pieces upper (2) match the edges of the lower supports (1), so that between the upper pieces (2) some separation channels (8) that coincide with other channels of separation (9) between the lower parts, channels the latter (9) where the anchoring elements (6 and 7) between the different lower parts (1).

In this way, the water that falls on the pieces Ceramics (2) will reach the evacuation chamber through precisely of the perimeter channels that limit and separate the different pieces.

In addition, ceramic pieces (2) can incorporate grooves (10) that flow into the channels perimeter, while the bottoms of these grooves have a smooth and slight downward inclination towards the edges of the cited ceramic pieces (2).

On the other hand, the underside of the pieces ceramics (2) can incorporate recesses (11) that are complement with protrusions of the plastic supports (1) to improve relative resistance to movement between parts as well as the union and immobilization of the mentioned pieces.

The distribution of short support legs (5) of the lower supports (1) allows the load to be distributed to bear on the liner, so that it can be traveled even for vehicles.

Claims (4)

1. Removable surface covering, essentially characterized in that it comprises the combination of lower parts (1) as supports that incorporate short legs (5) of support on the floor and upper parts (2) that join the supports ( 1) by their faces in contact, with the help of an adhesive or the like, being determined between the adjacent edges of the upper parts (2) separation channels (8) faced with other separation channels (9) between the supports (1), the latter separation channels (9) being interrupted by complementary anchoring elements of such lower supports (2); all this in order that the water that falls on the lining reaches the lower evacuation chamber established in correspondence with the short legs (5) of the lower supports (1). 2. Removable surface coating according to claim 1, characterized in that the contact faces of the two layers of the pieces have male elements and female elements that complement each other; all in order to achieve a better fixation between the upper and lower parts. 3. Removable surface coating according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the outer free faces of the upper parts (2) incorporate grooves (10) with a gentle downward inclination towards the edges of such parts (2), in correspondence with the separation channels (8 and 9). 4. Removable surface coating according to claim 1, characterized in that the lower parts (1) incorporate a set of through windows (4), as well as some grooves (12).
