Seismic Stand
The Related Art The invention relates to stands used in areas like raised flooring systems and allowing cabin and similar loads to be carried independent from the flooring.
The invention particularly relates to seismic stands which retain their strength in all horizontal and vertical axes by transferring the weight of the load found thereon to the floor.
The Prior Art
In raised flooring flooring systems, removing the connection of heavy loads such as cabins from the ground and fixing thereof should be provided with strengthened structures. In the known applications, this task is performed by rod structures. A structure similar to said rod structures is described in the utility model No. CN201554198, entitled "ground support". The patent document titled "Seismic resistant equipment platforms", with publication No. US5983582, which is encountered in the research of the prior art, also has pedestals which transmit the hardness of the floor to the load found thereon against the seismic movements. In such embodiments, the impacts and vibrations coming in the direction of the vertical axis are received by the rods and pedestals. Although these compensate the seismic movements in the vertical axis direction, they cannot show any effect in the horizontal axes. Therefore, in the case of horizontal seismic movements, serious problems such as not being able to bear the load and overturning of the load can be encountered.
As a result, the inadequacy of the prior art solutions about the subject and the need for seismic stands which retain their strength in all horizontal and vertical axes by transferring the weight of the load found thereon to the floor have necessitated an improvement in the related technical field.

In this way, in addition to bearing and fixing the load, it is also possible to protect the structure in horizontal oscillations, and the troubles experienced in the prior art are prevented. Said frame consists of sheet bodies connected to each other by trusses. By introducing such a modular structure, advantages in manufacturing, storage and transport are also achieved.
Another purpose of the invention is to allow the plinth on which the load is placed to be positioned at different elevations by means of the height adjustment fixation connected to the frame body. In this way, a more universal structure is provided by adapting to different levels of flooring.
Another purpose of the invention is to allow the plinth to be held from the balance by making fine height adjustment from said points by means of the independent adjustment shafts positioned at four corners of the plinth. This is especially an important embodiment for loads where the slope essential.
In order to achieve the above said purposes, the invention is a seismic stand used for stabilizing the weight of the load found thereon by transferring the weight to the floor, and it comprises:
at least one plinth on which said load fits,
at least one frame which provides the connection between the plinth and the floor and which maintains resistance against impact and vibration in the horizontal axes (x, y) in addition to the vertical axis (z). In order to achieve the above said purposes, said frame comprises
at least two bodies positioned in parallel to and across each other,
at least two trusses connecting the bodies positioned in parallel to and across each other such that they would form a rectangular form, at least one height adjustment fixation providing the connection between said plinth and frame and adjustment of the height of said plinth according to the vertical axis (z).
In order to achieve the purposes of the invention, said truss comprises at least two arms that are connected to each other through at least one connection point. Said body is made of sheet metal.
In order to achieve the above said purposes, said frame comprises

Detailed Description of the Invention
As shown in Figure 1 , the seismic stand (30), which serves to stabilize the weight of the load (10) by transferring thereof to the floor (20), allows securing heavy loads (10) such as cabins in raised flooring applications and provides resistance against seismic movements. While seismic movements only in the vertical axis (z) are met in the prior art applications, seismic movements in the direction of the horizontal axes (x, y) are also damped by the developed seismic stand (30). For this purpose, the seismic stand (30) basically comprises at least one plinth (31 ) on which the load (10) is seated and at least one frame (31 ) which provides a connection between the plinth (31 ) and the floor (20) and which maintains resistance against impact and vibration in the horizontal axes (x, y) in addition to the vertical axis (z). Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the seismic stand (30) according to the invention. The most important feature of the frame (32) which constitutes the main component is to prevent overturning with the forces in the direction of the horizontal axes (x, y) due to its rectangular structure. In a preferred embodiment of the frame (32), two bodies (40) made of metal sheet material positioned in parallel to and across each other and two trusses (50) positioned in parallel to and across each other connecting the bodies (40) such that a rectangular form would be formed are found. As can be seen in Figure 2, while the bodies (40) provide strength in a horizontal axis (y) direction, the trusses (50) provide resistance against seismic movements in the horizontal axis (x).
Figure 3 shows a demounted view of the seismic stand (30). In a preferred embodiment of the trusses (50), two arms (52) connected by a connection point (51 ) are found. While two height adjustment fixations (60) ensure the connection between the plinth (31 ) and the frame (32), they also mediate height adjustment of the plinth (31 ) according to the vertical axis (z). For this function, preferably, at least two height adjustment pins (41 ) formed on the body (40) component of the frame (32) at different heights relative to the vertical axis (z), and preferably a plurality of height adjustment housings (62) formed on said height adjustment fixation (60) are found at different heights with regard to the vertical axis (z) and allow the height adjustment pin (41 ) to pass through so as to fix the position of the height adjustment fixation (60). The height adjustment pins (41 ) and the height adjustment housings (62) can be formed on the height adjustment fixation (60) and the body (40), respectively, in alternative embodiments.
Preferably, the adjustment shafts (70) positioned on the shaft housings (61 ) formed on the height adjustment fixation (60) provide connection with the plinth (31 ) and also correspond to four corners of the frame (32) mediate adjustment of the height of the plinth (31 ) with regard to the vertical axis (z).
During installation of the seismic stand (30), first of all, the arm (52) are connected to each other via the connection point (51 ) to form trusses (50). Afterwards, the trusses (50) and the body (40) are combined to form the frame (32) to be fixed to the floor (20). After the height adjustment fixations (60) are attached onto the bodies (40), the plinth (31 ) is fitted onto the shaft housings (61 ). The height of the plinth (31 ) is changed by bringing the height adjustment housings (62) found at different heights on the height adjustment fixation (60) onto the height adjustment pins (41 ) found on the body (40). Finally, the balance of the plinth (31 ) is adjusted by means of the adjusting shafts (70) and the load (10) is fitted and fixed onto the plinth (31 ). At the side edges of the body (40), connection components (80) are positioned so as to allow the seismic stands (30) to be connected to each other when they are arranged side by side.
