Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paving element which, irrespective of the material of which it is made, of its form and characteristics, has the special characteristic that it has a cavity on its underside for the location of electrical, electronic, radiofrequency, communication, sensor, telephony and/or energy-storage components for their application both in civil and military purposes.
  • paving elements whether kerbstones, slabs, paving stones, or any other construction cladding component, are solely and exclusively provided as decorative elements and to make the thoroughfares or the open or closed spaces passable, are fundamentally characterized by their colour, form and resistance, without bearing in mind other possible utilities that they could offer maintaining those characteristics of colour, form and resistance.
  • the paving element claimed having the form of a paving stone, kerbstone or slab, and having any form, resistance or colour and/or decoration, has the special characteristic that on its underside or reverse it has a cavity which can be obtained in the manufacturing process of the element or can be performed subsequent to the manufacturing of said element, since the only purpose that said cavity has is to allow housing therein components not part of the paving, and which give service to other different uses.
  • the cavity of the underside of the paving element serves as housing for electrical, electronic, radiofrequency or communication components, as well as for telephony and housing of any type of energy, for which reason the element, in addition to fulfilling the conventional function, which is that of serving as a decorative element and to make the thoroughfares or the open or closed spaces passable, fulfils a second function, which is that of housing and concealing certain objects or components such as the aforementioned.
  • the cavity provided in the reverse of the paving element will have a depth smaller than the thickness of the element to avoid the breakage thereof, also being perimetrically separated from the side edges of the element and avoiding with this its breakage, i.e. to achieve that the element maintains its resistance and typical characteristics of what is a paving element.
  • FIG. 1 Shows a bottom perspective view of a conventional paving element, such as a slab, with the cavity as novel characteristic of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 Shows a side elevational view of the element represented in the previous figure, the broken line showing the depth and breadth of the cavity with respect to the element.
  • FIG. 3 Shows a top perspective view of the same element represented in the previous figures, the broken line showing the contour of the cavity provided in the underside or reverse of the element in question.
  • the paving element ( 1 ) of the invention which may be a slab, a kerbstone, a paving stone, etc., has the special characteristic that in its underside or reverse ( 2 ) a cavity ( 3 ) has been provided which may have any contour, although in the example of embodiment shown the contour of that cavity ( 3 ) is circular, but without rejecting the possibility that it is polygonal, regular, irregular, etc., so that in any case that cavity ( 3 ) has a depth smaller than the thickness of the element ( 1 ), while the contour of the cavity ( 3 ) is distanced from the edges or general perimeter general of the element ( 1 ), as is represented in the figures, so as not to decrease the resistance of the element and so that it can be used not only as a conventional element in the paving of floors, but also that it is provided with that cavity ( 3 ) to house the different components such as the abovementioned, whether electrical, electronic, radiofrequency, communication, etc.
  • cavity ( 3 ) can be made in the manufacturing process of the paving element ( 1 ), or it can be made subsequent to the manufacturing process of the element, and in any case the cavity ( 3 ) is provided to house components not part of the paving, which give service to other uses, and by virtue of the fact that depth is smaller than the thickness of the element, that cavity ( 3 ) shall not perforate the element ( 1 ), maintaining the front or visible side perfectly intact.
