Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a modular terrace, including a bottom frame of mutually interacting longitudinal and transversal support beams joined at their mutual intersection points, the bottom frame including a bearing surface of deck elements, and the periphery of the bottom frame including interspaced upright posts for carrying a side limitation of the bearing surface and a hand rail.
  • Such terraces are prior art and the construction occurs on the site where the terrace is to be placed and often requires use of various tools as well as skilled accuracy and ability in order to achieve a satisfactory result.
  • the said anchorings require, as already mentioned, some knowledge of skilled methods of anchoring which the non-skilled probably not can be assumed to have a necessary knowledge of.
  • a deck for a terrace built up in modules where the deck can be established in a preferred shape and changed.
  • the terrace is constituted by a number of wooden deck elements formed by assembling grating deck on support frames of wood which are juxtaposed.
  • the terrace includes a decorative lattice wall for suspending flowerpots which can be disposed along any external edge of a wooden deck unit.
  • a terrace floor built up of a number of wooden panels provided on a foundation standing on a base, and a hand rail made of wood between uprights placed at the external side of the floor.
  • the floor panels include a frame part with quadratic shape with a deck material formed of bars bonded onto the frame part.
  • From DE 20015973U is furthermore known a construction for supporting a wood floor where longitudinal and transversal support beams are assembled in order to constitute a stable underlying construction.
  • the system is particularly designed for providing a height adjustable substructure whereby it may be achieved that floors in different rooms are provided the same level, independently of the real base level in the different rooms.
  • a terrace of the kind indicated in the introduction which is constituted by prefabricated elements that are delivered ready for assembly in a pack
  • the longitudinal and transversal support beams have uniform cross-sections and are interacting at saddle joints so that the height of the bottom frame corresponds to the height of the uniform cross-sections
  • the joints between the posts and the bottom frame, and possibly between the support beams and a fixed building part are made by mutually interacting fittings including a first fitting with a mainly U- shaped cross-section including a bottom and two parallel lugs standing up from the bottom, the U-shaped section having a mainly rectangular basic shape where at the bottom of the U-shaped section there is provided holes for receiving fastening means, and where the upright parallel lugs of the U-shaped section are bent round towards the centre of the bottom of the U-section and oriented in parallel with the bottom for forming parallel grooves over the larger part of the extension of the lugs, mounted on the side of the lower end of the posts facing the bottom frame, and a second plate
  • the bottom frame will be finished in the same plane at the saddle joints between the longitudinal and transversal support beams, this plane thus being used for supporting the deck elements constituting the bearing surface in longitu- dinal as well as transversal direction. Furthermore, it is achieved that it will be possible by using fastening means, as e.g.
  • screws and a screwdriver for securing the fittings on the support beams of the bottom frames and posts, respectively, for side limitation of the bearing surface, or for anchoring the terrace to an existing construction, to perform reliable joints between the bottom frame and the posts standing up therefrom, and, if this is relevant, between an existing building construction and the bottom frame, by simply inserting the parts interacting on the said fittings by the grooves in the first fitting being passed down over the parallel-displaced flanges of the second fitting, so that these are actively engaging each other.
  • the second fitting serving to support the posts will by experience be subjected to a relatively great moment load coming from the transverse actions of force of the upper end of the posts, and the fastening means for this fitting, which are normally constituted by common screws, will probably not be able to withstand the said moment forces in the long run.
  • the other fitting may include parallel legs extending perpendicularly from the back side close to one end.
  • the parallel legs include holes for accommodating fastening means so that these may be fastened to the support beams of the bottom frame.
  • the support beams include grooves for receiving the parallel legs as an extra measure for absorbing moment forces.
  • the fitting may include a knee oriented in the direction of the legs, close to the end opposite the parallel legs, preferably in the form of a combined slit and angular indentation relative to the plane of the bottom area.
  • the said knee is also disposed so in relation to the parallel legs that this by correct mounting of the fitting at the end of a support beam will project into a groove in a transverse support beam and bear on the side of the groove, which contributes to increasing the load capacity of the fitting.
  • the sup- port beams forming part of the modular terrace may thus advantageously include grooves for accommodating the parallel legs and or the angular indentation.
  • the building of terraces of the kind indicated generally require that the beams of the bottom frame are supported, which is typically done by establishing posts that are typically buried in the base, under the beams of the terrace, and are levelled so that an imaginary plane suspended between the tops of the posts is a mainly horizontal plane.
  • the posts are furthermore to be disposed very accurately in relation to each other and in relation to the bottom frame forming part of the terrace structure.
  • Establishing the said posts may therefore require great effort and be time-consuming, since the tops of the posts after establishing are to bear vertically directed forces coming form the bottom frame of the terrace which is placed upon the posts. If the greatest care is not shown at the establishing of the said posts, it cannot be avoided that one or more of these will sink after some time, and the bottom frame of the terrace will settle, which is very unsuitable in many ways.
  • the modular terrace can include scattered supports for the support beams of the bottom frame, which are peculiar in that the supports are constituted by foundation fittings with saddles projecting from a corner section for supporting adjacent, mainly orthogonally oriented support beams extending in the same plane, the foundation fitting furthermore including an element for casting in concrete, and the upwards facing end of which being intended for interactive accommodation in a hole in the corner section for adjustable fastening and support of this to the element by means of retainer members interacting with the element.
  • the elements are constituted by threaded rods
  • the retainer elements for the foundation fittings are constituted by nuts provided on the threaded rods under and over the individual foundation fittings, so that these are clamped between the said nuts.
  • Establishing the side limitation for the modular terrace may advantageously be provided so that the mutually facing sides of the upright posts include a groove in which mutually interacting side limitation elements are insertable for forming the side limitation, and where the said side limitation elements are locked in the grooves by positioning and fastening the hand rail at the top of the posts.
  • the side limitation elements are contributing to reinforcing the side limitation and thereby stabilising it.
