Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a removable modular support for pavements.
  • the present invention relates to a removable modular support for outside and/or inside environments, suitable to be laid on any type of bottoms, also not perfectly flat and/or in environments particularly exposed to humidity, rain and/or frequent washing.
  • the present pavements for outside environments such as courts, sidewalks, terraces and the like, or for environments particularly exposed to humidity, rain and/or frequent washing, such as sports-environments, arcades, laboratories, swimming pools, showers, gardens, outdoor fixtures, and the like, may be realized with monolithic systems, such as tamped cement, Venetian tamped floor, or asphalt, or they can be realized with modular elements, such as pressed cement tiles, bricks, cobblestones from cement, gres, quartzite, granite, and the like.
  • Pavements can also be obtained from ceramic materials, synthetic resins, rubber, porcelain or glass-tessellated mosaic, and the like.
  • a removable modular support for pavements having the features according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 99/36 638A .
  • Further US-A-5 006 011 discloses a removable base whereon finishing planes are tied, said base having:
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a modular support for removable pavements suitable for the laying of any bottoms, also not perfectly flat.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a modular support for removable pavements suitable for environments particularly exposed to humidity, rain and/or frequent washing, whose laying does not require specialized personnel, and that is not expensive and easily removable in case of wear, breaking, fractures, cracks and the like.
  • the modular supports of the present invention are connected with each other by means of a restraining coupling of their complementary peripheral hooking means, according to the various mutual matching orientation and their plane geometric configuration.
  • the hooking and restraining means are preferably distributed in a sequential or alternating manner along the peripheral sides of the reticular or alveolar bases, according to the assembly of the modular supports whose position may be either aligned or staggered.
  • Flat finishing means of various type such as for instance continuous or stave finishing planes may be fastened on the upper surface of each reticular or alveolar base of the modular support of the present invention.
  • the alveolar or reticular structure of the base ensures the rapid and natural draining of humidity and water.
  • the modular support of the present invention is obtained by molding or injection of cheap materials, such as for instance plastic material which may be even a recycled material.
  • the modular supports of the present invention allow the formation of removable pavements suitable to be laid on any type of bottom, even if not perfectly flat, such as avenues, or flower-bed edges, gazebos on meadows, swimming pool edges, showers, playing-fields, sports-environments, outdoor and indoor fixture.
  • the advantages achieved with the modular supports of the present invention lie essentially in that they can be realized with cheap materials and are very economical.
  • the reticular or alveolar structure of the modular support bases allows an easy, rapid and natural humidity and/or water drainage, which also the adoption of finishing planes with stave-configurations add to.
  • the spacing feet create lower outlets for aeration and rapid water drain, and the strips allow an easy laying of the pavements, with a distribution of the loads. Pavement laying takes place in an rapid, easy and economical manner and, just in the same way, there can be performed also partly or total demolition interventions in case of wear, breaking of some units, settlements and/or breaking in the bearing underlying parts.
  • a further advantage lies in that the pavements realized with the modular supports of the present invention do not require peripheral containment curbs, as the supports are self-tying with each other, so that the artifacts behave as if they were ground-tied unique planes.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 do not show an embodiment of the invention, but are usefull for understanding the invention.
  • each removable modular support for pavements of the present invention is substantially constituted of a base (1) having a reticular or alveolar configuration (2).
  • Male (3) and female (4) hooking means either alternating or sequential are arranged along the peripheral (5) sides of the bases.
  • Said hooking means can be restrainingly coupled in a simple and rapid manner with the complementary female (4) and male (3) hooking means of other equal modular supports.
  • the hooking means allow the hooking of said supports with each other, according to the mutual approaching orientation, possibly also staggered, according to their plane geometric configuration.
  • Figure 4 shows the various possible manners for the coupling of square supports.
  • On the upper surface (6) of each support a finishing plane (7) is tied to, which may be obtained in one only piece or with several staves for each support.
  • finishing planes (7) with parallel staves either smooth or embossed, while being not limiting, is preferred, as the interspaces (8) that create between the coupled staves facilitate the passage of water and/or humidity, which discharge afterwards through the reticulations or the alveoles (2).
  • interspaces (9) that are constituted by the peripheral zone of the restrained coupling of the complementary hooking means (3, 4), arranged in such a way as to protrude with respect to the overall dimensions of said finishing planes.
  • the choice of the configuration type may depend on the specific application of the pavement.
  • staves (7) are realized from wood, rubber, plastic, synthetic resin or other suitable material, and tied to bases (1) by means of screws (10), glues, restraining, or the like.
  • a rectangular extension or and extension of any other polygonal shape may be equally effective, in relation with the complementary coupling modularity of the male (3) and female (4) hooking means arranged along the peripheral sides either in a sequential or an alternating manner, for the assembly of the supports with an aligned or a staggered arrangement.
  • the finishing planes may be also realized with materials other than the previously indicated ones, such as ceramic tiles from stone, granite, and the like.
  • Said spacing feet (11) and strips (12') together with bottoms (13, 14) of said hooking means (3, 4) constitute stabilizing means for the bases (1) and unified bearing means for an equal distribution of loads, suitable to ensure a correct laying of the supports on any type of ground with an equal distribution of loads, and to prevent said supports from adhering to the ground, especially when the ground is a meadow, sand, incoherent soil, and the like.
  • Spacing feet (11) have also the function of creating aeration and water rapid drain lower outlets.
  • Figures 1 and 2 do not show an embodiment of the invention, since the strips (12) are integral with the support.
  • the strips (12') are tied to the bottom of spacers (11') by means of integral pins (17) that fits in the central holes (16) of said spacers (Fig. 3).
  • strips (12, 12') may be more or less extended and variously distributed in the angle, central or checkered zones of the supports (1).
  • the positioning of pavements comprising the supports of the present invention can be made on simple water-tight floors on concrete floor roughs, gravel and sand block, concrete block, existing pavements, soil, meadow, and so on.
  • the assembly of the modular supports of the present invention can be realized in a simple, rapid and economical manner by whomever, without any problems, without the presence of experts and without a particular equipment; in the same way there can be carried out the dismounting, stacking and storing for a possible later reassembly, even on a different place.
  • the supports are suitable for the realization of pavements for balconies, terraces, edges, gazebo floors, sheds and pergolas, working spaces, exhibitions and zones for special events, markets, laboratories, paths, and the like.
