Abstract

The floating pavement system has the peculiarity of being self-adjusting, modular and in turn adjustable in height to allow different types of installations, electrical, thermal, hydraulic, etc. to be installed under the stepped surface formed by slabs (1). The slabs (1) of the pavement rest on closed and hollow metal profiles (3) on which metal bushings (4) are mounted, on which the height adjustment elements are fixed and which in turn constitute support and support elements on the ground, said elements may be constituted by a threaded rod (5) with a support base (6) in the case of hard floors, or by means of a spike (6 ’) with a threaded rod (8) and a shock absorber of plastic (9) in the case of soft floors, in this case a second hollow and open metal profile (7) distanced from the profile (2) supporting the slabs (1).

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a floating pavement system, which has the particularity of being modular, self-adjusting and also adjustable in height.

The field of application of the system corresponds to that of construction, and more specifically to modular architectural design systems.

15 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Floating pavement systems are known and popularized worldwide, at

in order to allow a separation between the base or support and the visible or pible surface, of

so that in any case such floating pavement systems allow the use of

20 different types of visually attractive materials in the visible part and stepped and sufficiently robust in the parts that must perform the structural function. The referred systems were increased with the development of laminate floors.

However, currently floating floors present as one of their main

25 difficulties to establish a surface as homogeneous and level as possible, to which we must add the fact that in most cases the design patterns of the floating floors are pre-determined by the manufacturers, so their use is not It is too versatile, so sometimes they are not compatible with current construction techniques and methods.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The system that has been recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, since on the one hand the system of the invention is self-assembling and also modular, also presenting the particularity

30 specifically, the system of the invention is based on using metal profiles

which has a height adjustment capacity on the entire walkable surface, allowing to accommodate

under the same all types of domestic and industrial facilities (thermal, electrical, hydraulic, etc.), so that said height adjustment can be done individually on each of the pavement supports, allowing to create flat surfaces or inclined

In addition, the modularity of the system makes it possible to make extensions or modifications of the footable surface quickly and easily.

closed and hollow, with lateral lower flanges on which the different slabs that form the pavement will rest, with the special feature that in said profiles and at regular intervals metal bushings of cylindrical configuration are provided, with internal thread and housed inside the hollow metal profiles, in such a way that said elements are fixed by means of threading elements that establish the height regulation of the pavement, allowing the free circulation of air from the lower chamber of

said pavement up to the upper face of the stepped surface.

In the event that the system is intended for mounting on hard and consistent floors, then the adjustable and support elements will be constituted by a threaded rod on the aforementioned metal bushing, a rod that at its lower end has a determining plastic base of the support element itself, that is, the one that comes into contact with the ground, being able to be used for a better fixation and immobilization of said nut elements that tighten between the support and support element, and the lower part of the closed and hollow metal profile .

In the event that the pavement is going to be mounted on soft floors, then a threaded rod will be used that on the one hand is linked to a fixed plastic shock absorber. by means of a thread, to the metal bushing provided inside the metallic and hollow profile, constituting the height-adjustable element of the pavement, while at the lower end the threaded rod is related to a hollow metal cylindrical cylindrical configuration and with tip termination , which is intended to drive into the soft ground and will be linked to a second open metal profile resting directly on the soft ground, logically below the closed and hollow profile used as

pavement support, that is to say of the slabs that will constitute the tradable surface of the

own pavement.

It is evident that the system of the invention allows its use and application in any type of installation, whether domestic or industrial, with easy installation and assembly, so that due to its modularity, it allows its use quickly and easily , while allowing other elements or components such as electrical, air conditioning or any other type of pipes to be incorporated.

The fact of being able to use any type of flooring in the market, both in materials and dimensions, brings great versatility to the system, since the whole set is susceptible to extensions or modifications, simply by varying the size of the flooring used and the arrangement of the closed and hollow metal profiles, so that the different support and support elements can be located at the desired distance, depending on the load requirements that the structure will have.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

5 As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, and in particular in relation to Figure 1, the floating pavement system object of the invention, which comprises a series of slabs (1) as a stepped surface, has the peculiarity that said slabs (1 ) are supported by closed and hollow metal profiles (2) whose lower part has laterally and longitudinally respective wings or flanges (3) to support the slabs (1) or pavement

10 proper.

Inside these hollow and closed metal profiles (3), they are housed respectively

bushings (4) on which they are threaded respective rods (5) provided inferiorly

of a plastic base (6) as a support element on the ground.

15 The bushings (4) are metallic and cylindrical configuration with internal thread, establishing the piece based on which it is possible to carry out the height adjustment of the pavement.

20 In the event that the assembly is carried out on soft floors, as shown in figures 4, 5 and 6, then in addition to the metal profiles (2) with their wings and lateral and lower flanges (3) for support of the slabs (1) of the pavement, and of the cylindrical and metal bushings (4) threaded, a metal (6 ') and hollow spike is provided, which is interlocked in an open metal profile (7).

25 The metal rod (6 ') is hollow and a rod (8) is threaded on it, which at its upper end is fixed to the lower stem of a bush in the form of a plastic shock absorber (9), which in turn has its upper end another threaded rod on the metal bushing (4) fixed inside the profile (2), so that through that threaded rod

30 (8) the height adjustment of the pavement is carried out.
