Definitions

  • the main object of the present invention is that of providing means for facilitating the movement of the material in the rooms for storing, ammunitions, arms and the like, reducing the physical effort for the respective manual movement and without any contraindications in terms of safety.
  • Another object of the present invention is that of attaining the previous object through a solution concept applicable in any environment used for storing explosives, ammunitions, arms and the like, even not expressly prearranged and—as a matter of fact regardless of any prearrangement—being linked to the solution concept the adaptation of the same to the environment in question.
  • the floating floor structure comprising bearing pillars ( 1 ) with revolving ball ( 3 ) constrained in the head ( 2 ), projecting on the floor surface ( 10 ), supported by a grid of crosspieces ( 7 ) suspended between the bearing pillars ( 1 ) and made of material suitable to prevent the generation of sparks under friction or impact and prevent the accumulation of electrostatic energy, the entirety being used for building floors particularly for rooms intended for storing explosives, ammunitions, arms and the like, in such a manner that the pallets of the respective support may be easily translated and moved manually on the floating floor rolling on the heads of the pillars in a safe manner.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partial perspective view of the floating floor according to the invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a constituting element respectively from a perspective view and a top-bottom view
  • FIG. 4 shows a bottom perspective view of the same constituting element of the previous figures with a kit of specific accessories
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of another constituting element
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 respectively show a plan view and side view of the assembly.
  • indicated with 1 are the bearing pillars of the floating floor according to the invention, cylindrical-shaped in the illustrated embodiment, constrained in whose head 2 is a revolving ball 3 , in such a manner that projecting over said head 2 is a cap, indicated with the same reference number 3 .
  • Each pillar 1 abuts at the lower part against the support surface 16 by means of a foot 4 , associated thereto by means of a screw stem 5 , and it is also shaped with four parallelepiped-shaped radial projections 6 , mutually oriented orthogonally and provided with transverse through holes 9 .
  • pairs of crosspieces 7 Apically associated to the radial projections 6 are pairs of crosspieces 7 , all of the same length, fixed by means of screws 8 through said through holes 9 , in such a manner to form a square-meshed orthogonal grid, accommodated laying on which are the square panels 10 forming the floor surface, indicated with the same reference 10 .
  • the panels 10 are dimensioned each to cover four square-shaped meshes of the grid of crosspieces 7 and bearing circular central holes 11 , median half-circular grooves 12 at the sides and gored grooves 13 at the corners, to provide openings for the projection of the apical balls 3 of the pillars 1 in the entirety of the respective assembly.
  • the perimeter pillars 1 are also associated, through support elements 14 , to an edge 15 or perimeter guard element to be interposed on the walls 17 for the functions outlined hereinafter.
  • the floating floor structure according to the invention may be easily laid on any surface, suitably positioning the pillars 1 , levelling them through the respective screw stems 5 for connecting to the respective feet 4 , connecting them to form a square-mesh through the crosspieces 7 and then laying the panels 10 thus formed over the grid to form the floor surface 10 .
  • the elements that combine to form floating floor according to the invention preferably made up of:
  • the bearing pillars 1 i.e. the elements for accommodating and supporting the balls 3
  • the bearing pillars 1 are made of steel, designed and made to resist against heavy stresses and extremely heavy loads, produced specifically with numerical control machining centres using “FE 42 UNI 7070 TOLL: ISA h 11” drawn steel, 42 kg/sqm resistance or the like, cold zinc-plated and provided with an adjustable foot 4 , with insulating base fixable against the floor to prevent inadvertent slip-off in case of impact, designed to bear direct load under pressure amounting up to 2000 kilograms.
  • the balls 3 are massive, designed to bear heavy stresses and extremely heavy loads and over a long period of time, accommodated constrained in massive UNI 18 Ni CrM (UNI 7846-78/AFNOR 18NCD/B.S.EN353 steel boxes), carbonitrurated CM7, case-hardening plus tempered with hardness HRC; thickness 0.60.8 mm, with inner anti-dust gasket; the balls 3 are made of G10G16G20 ISO3290 chrome-plated steel, designed to bear direct load under pressure amounting up to 1500 kilograms.
  • the crosspieces 7 i.e. the coupling elements, are produced specifically with numerical control machining centres, obtained using “FE 42 UNI 7070 TOLL: ISA h 11” drawn steel plates, 42 kg/sqm resistance or the like, cold zinc-plated, coupled by means of bolts with self-locking bolt.
  • edges 14 i.e. the elements for supporting and anchoring perimeter guard elements, are produced specifically with numerical control machining centres, made of “FE 42 UNI 7070 TOLL: ISA h 11” drawn steel, 42 kg/sqm resistance or the like, cold zinc-plated and provided with an aluminium guard plate 10 mm thickness, 60802T6 anti-spark alloy.
  • the panels 10 i.e. the floor cover plates, are made of knurled aluminium, 5754 alloy 5+2 mm thickness, anti-skid and anti-spark, machined using specific machines with numerical control machining centres, laying on the support structure and easily removable for checking the underlying.
  • the floating floor structure according to the invention may be alternatively implemented using technical and mechanical equivalents, with devices possibly having further integrative solutions, same case applying to all configurations of the constituents thereof that may be varied to suit the purpose.
  • the pillars instead of being cylindrical like in the described preferred embodiment, may be of any other shape suitable for the purpose;
  • the grid of crosspieces instead of being square-meshed like in the described preferred embodiment, may have a mesh of any shape and dimensioned in a manner suitable for the purpose;
  • the panels forming the floor surface instead of being square-shaped and dimensioned each to cover four square meshes of the grid of crosspieces like in the described preferred embodiment, may be alternatively shaped and dimensioned in any other manner suitable for the purpose.
  • the floating floor structure according to the invention offers advantages corresponding to the attainment of the preset objects and others:
  • the extreme modularity thereof allows an easy and quick, maintenance and replacement of the single components, and also allows quick disassembly of the floor itself for possible reutilisation in other environments.
  • the product is also absolutely suitable to bear heavy loads over long periods of time.
