    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
  • The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated with reference to the appended figures in which:
  • FIG. 1 depicts a plastic molding with center flange stopper according to the prior art that may be deployed with panels over a substructure.
  • FIG. 2 depicts an adapter solution, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 depicts a method of deploying an adapter solution according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B depict[s] other adapter configurations according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • According to the present invention, an adapter solution 100 is provided that can be used with steel tubing and alignment stoppers to make sturdy and secure panel structures, such as raised flooring, over substructures. The adapters may he made in different sizes and shapes to accommodate the edge profiles of different panel structures.
  • Generally, panel structures, such as raised flooring panels, come in particular Sizes and shapes with different edge profiles. When assembling a raised panel structure, such as flooring, panels are joined together at their edges. Often, particularly in raised flooring structures, structural elements of a substructure contact the panel structure to keep the structure raised to allow wiring, ventilation or access, among other things, from beneath the panel structure.
  • With raised panel structures, the substructure includes beams, such as steel tubing, that run horizontally and contact the panels directly or indirectly to provide support to the panels. Often, the beams are designed to have pitch that is related to the size of the panels. For example, the beams may have the same pitch as the size of each floor panel in a respective x or y dimension. In this manner, the centers of particular beams may align with scams between panels, such that the edges of panels that arc to be joined fall at the center of the beams. It can be clumsy to join panels to the center of the beam with standard fasteners, such as screws or bolts when the beam and the panels arc not designed in the first instance for each other.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, an adapter 10 is positioned between two adjacent panels 20. The panels 20 are in turn supported by an alignment stopper 30 and a beam 40 that is a part of a substructure. The alignment stopper 30 fits on the beam and includes a top flange 32 and side flanges 34. The top flange 32 may be centered along the alignment stopper 30 such that the alignment stopper, when placed on a beam 40, engages the beam at the side flanges and produces a top flange that is centered relative to the beam.
  • The adapter 10 includes a cutout 12 and an outer body profile that respectively engages the top flange 32 and the edges of the adjacent panels 20. In this manner, the alignment stopper and adapter can be easily and securely placed on die beam and invite panels to be placed on the alignment stoppers and adapters to securely join adjacent panels together in proper alignment with each other and the underlying substructure. This facilitates quickly assembling a raised panel structure, such as a raised floor, and provides rigid lateral attachment of the panels to the underlying substructure.
  • FIG. 3 depicts a method of securing panels to a substructure. Referring to FIG. 3, in step 300 a user places one or more alignment stoppers on a beam. In step 310, a user places an adapter as desired on chosen ones of the alignment stoppers. In step 320, the user places at least one panel on the alignment stopper and adapter so that the panel is engaged with the stopper and adapter. In step 330, the user places additional panels on the stoppers and adapters until the user has completed construction of the portion of the panel structure, or floor, desired to be constructed with the adapters.
  • FIG. 4 depicts alternate embodiments of the adapter which may be implemented as desired. The shapes arc purely illustrative only, and changes may be made to the shapes to meet design, cost or other goals. Referring to FIG. 4A, an adapter is picture m which one side of the adapter has one profile and the other side has a different profile. The adapter continues to have a central cutout designed to receive a top flange of an alignment stopper. The adapter 400 may be used to join a panel such as that shown in FIG. 1, with a panel such as that shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4B depicts an alternative embodiment of the adapter. Referring to FIG. 4B, the adapter includes a flange instead of a cutout. Such an adapter may be deployed when the substructure or alignment stopper, instead of a top flange includes a top cutout instead. The flange of the adapter may then fit into the cutout of the substructure or the alignment stopper. The adapter may be made of plastic, metal, or any other desired material.
  • While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood that changes may be made to those embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For example, the adapters may fee designed to engage a flange or other feature that is placed directly on a beam, as opposed to on an intermediate alignment stopper that engages the beam. Similarly, the point of engagement between the adapter and/or the beam and/or the alignment stopper while shown here in the center may be offset from center as desired. Additionally, while the adapter is shown to engage two panels, the adapter may engage any number of panels and have an outer shape that is designed to engage each of those panels. The edge profiles of the panels may also vary significantly from those shown here and the adapter may be configured to have a mating or other engaging shape or profile to facilitate secure engagement to such panels.
