Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pavements and pavement elements.
  • a pavement material for traffic areas made from pavement elements of artificial stone material, with the following characteristics:
  • first pavement elements are provided, with a single first shape or several different shapes;
  • the second pavement elements are individually primarily surrounded by several third pavement elements such that a connection transition with the neighbouring pavement region is constructed from first pavement elements;
  • the second shape or second shapes are differentiated from the first shape or shapes
  • the third or third shapes are differentiated both from the first shape or shapes, and from the second shape or shapes
  • the object of the invention is a pavement material for traffic areas, constructed with pavement elements made from artificial stone material, with the following characteristics:
  • first pavement elements are provided with a single first shape or with several differing first shapes
  • the second pavement elements are each to a large extent enclosed by several third pavement elements, in such a way that there is provided a connecting transition to the adjacent pavement region made of first pavement elements;
  • the second shape or second shapes is (are) different from the first shape or from the first shapes
  • the third shape or the third shapes is (are) different both from the first shape or the first shapes as well as from the second shape or second shapes.
  • Exterior pavements constructed with pavement elements of artificial stone material are known in a large number of pavement element shapes.
  • the pavement is made, as a rule, of like pavement elements or from different pavement elements alternating regularly.
  • special second pavement elements are utilized, which on the basis of their shape, stand out from the uniformity of the pavement in the regions laid with first pavement elements.
  • the invention opens up the possibility that special, prominent, second pavement elements can be provided at individual locations in the pavement, and can be incorporated in place in the pavement structure of the entire pavement in a non-disturbing way.
  • the second pavement elements are symbol pavement elements which, due to their second shape and/or by virtue of the symbols on their top surfaces (for example, letters, numbers/numerals, short words, more or less abstract symbols for human beings, logos or other symbols) convey some kind of message.
  • the optical differentiation of the symbol can preferably be provided by recessed or projecting surface regions (wherein the recessed regions or the regions left between raised regions can be filled preferably with color-contrast material, in particular on the basis of plastic or on the basis of a cemented mass, to the same height) or inlaid symbols of other material, preferably metal.
  • the first pavement elements make up the major portion of the pavement.
  • areas regarded as traffic areas are those which are provided for vehicle traffic, bicycle traffic or pedestrian traffic, however not the areas provided for walking in private closed volumes.
  • Particularly typical and preferred areas for use are: squares, courtyards, gateways, walkways, streets, pedestrian zones, loading zones, terraces, parking zones for vehicles, gas stations, industrially utilized surfaces, industrially traveled surfaces, workyards, container locations.
  • the above mentioned artificial stone material is, in most cases, concrete. Brick-like materials can be mentioned as a further preferred possibility. Generally, any material can be used as well which contains additives or fillers that are mixed with binders (including plastic) which harden in a time-dependent manner. However, pavement elements, in particular a part of the overall total of pavement elements in a pavement, especially second pavement elements, can be partially or entirely of plastic.
  • the second shape of the second pavement elements be octagonal or arrow-like.
  • the second shapes in particular (in plan view) round, rectangular including square, triangular.
  • At least one pair of third pavement elements are symmetrical with respect to one another. This leads to a particularly non disturbing connection transition adjacent “normal” pavement region. Further there is a preferred possibility that a given second pavement element is at least to a large extent surrounded by four mutually identical, third pavement elements.
  • the pavement for traffic areas is characterised in that a number n of third pavement elements at least to a large extent enclose a given second pavement element, and by way of this number n+1 of pavement elements a surface size A is covered; and that the surface size A corresponds to a number n of neighbouring, laid, first pavement elements.
  • At least some first pavement elements and/or at least some second pavement elements and/or at least some third pavement elements have spacing projections at the periphery.
  • the spacing projections can in particular have a size adapted to produce small gaps with a width of 5 mm at the most between neighbouring laid pavement elements, which simplifies the laying of the pavement elements.
  • These “small” gaps which in most cases are 3-5 mm wide, are those gaps which normally are present as laying gaps between pavement elements in the pavement, and are normally filled with sand after the laying of the pavement elements. If the pavement elements have these “small” spacing projections, the worker has his work simplified by way of the contact with the spacing projections.
  • the spacing projections can have in particular a size which results in wide gaps with a width of at least 8 mm between neighbouring laid pavement elements, such that efficient water drainage gaps are formed. If these “larger” spacing projections are provided, the result is relatively wide gaps between neighbouring laid pavement elements. These gaps are likewise normally filled with sand or with fine gravel.
  • the projections have a “projecting dimension” with respect to the remaining pavement element contour, which corresponds to about half of the desired gap width; in the first case sketched above, the “projecting dimension” of the projection corresponds approximately to the desired gap width.
  • At least some first pavement elements and/or at least some second pavement elements and/or at least some third pavement elements have locations where material is omitted, whereby efficient water drainage openings are provided in the pavement.
  • efficient water drainage openings and the water removal capacity thus attained for the pavement the previously expressed remarks regarding the water drainage gaps can be analogously applied.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a top plan view of a segment of a pavement for traffic areas.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a top plan view of a portion of FIG. 1, to a larger scale, to illustrate a second pavement element which is enclosed by a plurality of third pavement elements.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a top plan view of a segment of a pavement showing a different embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a top plan view of a portion of FIG. 3, shown to a larger scale, to illustrate a second pavement element which is enclosed by several third pavement elements.
  • the pavement for traffic areas 2 consists primarily of first pavement elements 4 which all, in top plan view, have the shape of a square. Oriented lengthwise of several lines through the pavement for traffic areas 2 , referred to below as “pavement 2 ”, the pavement 2 exhibits second pavement elements 5 which all have an arrow-like second shape, when seen in top plan view. Furthermore, third pavement elements 6 are provided, which, in groups of four, surround a second pavement element 5 .
  • Each pavement element arrangement 8 (as seen in FIG. 2), consisting of a single second pavement element 5 and four altogether surrounding third pavement elements 6 , covers an altogether square surface size which corresponds to the surface size of four neighbouring, laid, first pavement elements 4 .
  • the third pavement elements 6 provide an optimal connection transition between the second pavement elements 5 and the first pavement elements 4 in the “normal region” of the pavement 2 .
  • the lower pair of third pavement elements 6 are symmetrical with respect to each other.
  • the axis of symmetry in both cases is the longitudinal midline through the enclosed second pavement element 5 .
  • the two lower third pavement elements in FIG. 2 are, generally speaking, L-shaped.
  • the two upper third pavement elements 6 in FIG. 2 have the shape of a square with an obliquely cut-away corner.
  • the third pavement elements 6 are provided, on those pavement element sides which lie against a neighbouring third pavement element 6 , with spacing projections 10 .
  • Each third pavement element 6 is provided with two spacing projections 10 which are so arranged that they constitute, with the spacer projections 10 of the two neighbouring third pavement elements 6 , a spaced pair of spacing projections 10 per “paired pavement element side”.
  • the spacing projections have a “projecting dimension” with respect to the corresponding pavement element sides, of 2-4 mm.
  • analogous spacing projections 10 can be provided between the second pavement element 5 and the four third pavement elements 6 .
  • All pavement elements 4 , 5 , 6 consist of concrete; to that extent, reference can be made to concrete blocks for pavement.
  • the pavement elements 4 , 5 , 6 normally exhibit a bevel between the top surface seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the side surfaces, thus a small 45° chamfer between the above mentioned surfaces.
  • the bevel is not illustrated.
  • the other example embodiment of a pavement 2 illustrated in FIG. 3 differs from the FIG. 1 embodiment of a pavement 2 in that the second pavement elements 5 each have the second shape of a regular octagon, and in that the third pavement elements 6 have, for all third pavement elements 6 , the same third shape. Also with the second embodiment, there are again four third pavement elements 6 for the enclosure of a second pavement element 5 .
  • Every second pavement element 5 has a second shape, which corresponds to the eight-cornered traffic signal “STOP AT THE MAJOR STREET”. Additionally, the letter sequence STOP can be applied to every second pavement element 5 .
  • first pavement elements 4 had the same first shape of a square.
  • first pavement elements 4 can alternate between “small squares” as illustrated and “large squares” which have quadruple the size; it is also conceivable to alternate between the illustrated small squares and longitudinally rectangular first pavement elements 4 having the size of two squares.
  • Another possibility is to pave a first region of the pavement 4 with square first pavement elements 4 , and a neighbouring further region of the pavement 2 with first pavement elements 4 of a different size or a different form.
  • every second pavement element 5 has the same second shape.
  • second pavement elements 5 with differing second shape are used, for example in a first region the arrow-shaped second shape in accordance with FIGS. 1 and 2 and in another region of the pavement 2 , the octagonal, second shape according to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example in which two differing third shapes are applied, while FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate an example in which identical third shapes are used.
  • FIG. 4 there are dotted lines 14 which indicate in the third pavement element 6 how it is possible to provide, on the outer corners of the third pavement element 6 , material omissions 16 , which in top plan view are triangular. The analogous modification can be undertaken at all four corners of each first pavement element 4 . Altogether than, there would be provided efficient water drainage openings in the pavement 2 .
  • the dotted lines in FIG. 4 indicate that it is possible to provide, as an alternative, smaller third pavement elements 6 a .
  • every second pavement element 5 is no longer completely enclosed by neighbouring third pavement elements 6 a , but instead there are two sides of the octagon which remain free for connection to neighbouring first pavement elements 4 . Every second pavement element 5 , however, would still be to a large extent enclosed by third pavement elements 6 a.
