Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support element for holding an object at a distance from an underlying surface, and in particular, for the support of elevated surfaces.
  • Support elements for elevated surfaces are commonly used for all types of applications such as raised roofs, terraces or technical flooring for outdoor and indoor applications.
  • An example can be found in GB2378457 , in which a support element for floors, ceilings, and walls is disclosed.
  • a general requirement when mounting such a raised surface is that a sufficiently level surface is obtained and a sufficiently stable surface.
  • the present invention relates to a support element for holding an object at a distance from an underlying surface, in particular for elevated surfaces such as raised roofs, terraces or technical flooring for outdoor and indoor applications the support element comprising the features of appended claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 illustrate different embodiments of a support element according to the present invention.
  • the support elements according to the present invention are generally suited for holding an object at a distance from an underlying surface.
  • these support elements are suitable for holding tiles, beams, battens, etc. for installing elevated surfaces, such as an elevated roof terrace, elevated apartment terrace, elevated garden terrace, a stage, a raised technical floor for indoor or outdoor, a raised floor for indoor or outdoor, and the like.
  • the underlying surface means the ground, the roof, the platform, the conventional building floor between floors, or any other structure at a distance of which an object, and in particular, tiles, beams, battens, etc. for the installation of elevated surfaces must be installed.
  • a support element for holding an object at a distance from an underlying surface comprising the following parts:
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the use of connecting pieces with a relief that allows different connecting pieces to be fit to each other provides increased stability because the connecting pieces cannot slide out of each other due to the relief.
  • a second advantage is that such relief is a passive and therefore durable system to link connecting pieces to each other.
  • a third advantage of the present invention is that the connecting pieces provide increased height adjustability, such that applications where relatively large irregularities in the underlying surface need to be bridged and/or where the distance between the raised surface and the underlying surface is relatively large are among the possibilities.
  • the relief of one or more projections and/or one or more cavities may comprise any combination of projections and/or cavities.
  • the relief on both sides of the connecting piece parallel with the underlying surface may be identical or may be different.
  • the support element is characterised by connecting pieces with a relief on one side, parallel with the underlying surface, which is complementary to the relief on the opposite side.
  • a 'complementary relief means that the relief on one side parallel to the underlying surface would theoretically fit on the relief on the opposite side parallel to the underlying surface. In this way, any connecting piece will fit on any other connecting piece, and connecting pieces can be exchanged with connecting pieces with a different height.
  • the support element can therefore be built up with exchangeable connecting pieces of different heights depending on the desired distance between the underlying surface and the object which is to be supported.
  • the one or more projections and/or one or more cavities can have any form.
  • the one or more projections (5) in the relief taper towards their free end, and the cavities (6) are defined by side walls and a base, the side walls of a cavity tapering towards the base.
  • the protrusions are therefore mastaba-shaped or even pyramid-shaped, while the cavities are in the form of an inverted mastaba or even an inverted pyramid.
  • each of the connecting pieces include one projection that is carried out annularly in the vicinity of the outer circumference of one side parallel with the underlying surface, and includes one cavity that is carried out annularly in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the opposite side parallel with the underlying surface.
  • the projection is disc-shaped, and the cavity is also disc-shaped.
  • the connecting pieces can be provided with means allowing the connecting pieces to be interconnected, for example, by means of click systems or snap-fit clips.
  • Each connecting piece may have a height, measured in the vertical direction of the upright support element, between 5 and 150 mm, preferably 15 mm, 50 mm and 100 mm.
  • the base (1) of the support element includes a disc-shaped cavity in which a ring-shaped element (7) with internal screw thread fits engaging with a control piece (8) with corresponding external screw thread, the control piece exhibiting a relief on the highest side parallel with the underlying surface of one or more projections and/or one or more cavities complementary to the relief of a connecting piece of the one or more connecting pieces (see circle).
  • the ring-shaped element consequently enters the disc-shaped cavity of the base.
  • the control piece is fastened by screwing it into the internal screw thread of the ring-shaped element.
  • a support elements according to the present invention provides stepless height control which, in combination with the stackable connecting pieces (3), can bridge a very large difference in height.
  • the screw thread of the control piece has such a length, measured in the vertical direction of the upright support element, that it can bridge a difference in height which is at least equal to the height of the connecting piece with the lowest height among the connecting pieces.
  • the connecting piece with the lowest height has a height of 50 mm
  • the screw thread of the control piece has to be able to bridge at least 50 mm, so that the support element obtains a stepless height control from 0 to 150 mm depending on whether no, one or two connecting pieces of 50 mm are used.
  • FIG. 4 shows a support element according to the present invention that can hold an object at a distance of between 70 and 327 mm from an underlying surface, and which is infinitely variable if use is made of a circular element (7) and a control piece (8) with screw thread of 57 mm in height and provided the connecting pieces of 50 mm (3') and 100 mm (3") in height are used correctly.
  • the underside of the supporting plate has a relief complementary to the relief of the one or more connecting pieces so that the supporting plate can also be placed on the intermediate piece in a stable and durable manner.
  • the highest side of the control piece parallel to the underlying surface and viewed according to the vertical direction of the upright support element can possess a relief complementary to the relief of the one or more connecting pieces so that the one or more connecting pieces can be placed on the control piece in a stable and durable manner.
  • control piece can be provided with means which make it possible to fix the lower connecting piece to the control piece, for example, by means of click systems or snap-fit clips.
  • the base, the connecting pieces, and the supporting plate may be made of any plastic that is suitable for extrusion or injection moulding, such as polypropylene, polyethylene (low and high density), polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, ethyl vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene or polyolefin, or a combination thereof.
  • plastic such as polypropylene, polyethylene (low and high density), polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, ethyl vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene or polyolefin, or a combination thereof.
  • the ring-shaped element and the control piece may be made of any plastic that is suitable for extrusion or injection moulding, or of metal.
