Description

Method for covering a ship deck and an installation tool
SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for surfacing a ship's deck with planks or surfacing elements formed from deck planks, by attaching the planks or elements to the deck, according to which method the positions of the deck planks or surfacing elements relative to each other are determined by means of transverse spacing elements.
PRIOR ART A known practice is to provide the steel deck of a ship with wooden surface planking. The wood species generally used for this purpose is teak. Traditionally, the deck planking is formed by fastening each plank separately with screws to the deck. The screw positions are then usually covered with pegs of teak wood made of the same wood species, the result being a continuous, durable and elegant teak deck.
As the mounting of individual planks on the ship's deck is a slow and laborious process, a known method is to form from planks prefabricated elements, which can be mounted on the deck considerably faster than individual planks. US patent 5,359,954 discloses an element of this type and a corresponding mounting method. However, the element mounting method disclosed in it has the drawback that it is difficult to produce a continuous deck planking in this manner. This is because the method produces two types of joints between planks. First, the element has joints already present between the planks comprised in it. Other joints are formed between elements. The latter joints have to be made afterwards in any case, which is why it is difficult to make them appear like the factory-made joints within the element.
A more sophisticated method is disclosed in the applicant's earlier patent EP 0 754 617 B1 , in which the elements are prefabricated in such manner that at least three deck planks are joined together using at least two spacing elements placed on the lower surface of the planks. These spacing elements are preferably strips made of stainless steel. By using such surfacing elements formed from deck planks, it will be possible to carry out the surfacing of the deck of a ship considerably faster and more accurately than by prior-art methods.
However, the above-mentioned methods involve the problem that the transverse strips or equivalent determining the position of the elements are placed under the planks. Therefore, it is not possible to see whether these strips are exactly perpendicular to the planks to be mounted. If the angles between the strips and the planks vary, then there is also some variation in the distances between the planks to be mounted.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problem and to achieve a new method for surfacing a ship's deck.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE METHOD OF THE INVENTION The method of the invention for surfacing a ship's deck is characterized in that - when the deck planks or surfacing elements are being mounted on the deck of the ship, a mounting tool is placed over them, said tool having on its underside guide tabs that are set at least partially between the deck planks and/or surfacing elements being mounted, and that ( the distances between the deck planks or surfacing elements under the mounting tool are determined and locked laterally at desired magnitudes by means of the guide tabs on the underside of the mounting tool.
The invention allows accurate positioning of the deck planks or surfacing elements relative to each other. By applying the method, the task of mounting the deck planks or surfacing elements can be performed considerably faster, more effectively and accurately than before.
EMBODIMENTS OF THE METHOD OF THE INVENTION
A preferred embodiment of the mounting method of the invention is characterized in that - a layer of glue is applied to the ship's deck the deck planks or surfacing elements are placed upon the layer of glue the mounting tool is placed over the deck planks or surfacing elements, and the guide tabs on its lower surface are pressed into the spaces between the deck planks or surfacing elements, - after the glue has dried sufficiently, the mounting tool is removed, joint sealing paste is introduced into the spaces between the deck planks or surfacing elements.
The spaces between the deck planks or surfacing elements are sealed in a single operation, so that all the joints will look the same. As the deck planks are glued to the ship's deck without any other joining elements, they simultaneously form a good moisture and noise barrier on the deck. As each gap between deck planks is set to a suitable magnitude by the guide elements of the transverse securing strips, the sealing of the gaps between the deck planks after the gluing is easy to carry out.
A second preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the deck planks or surfacing elements are mounted and glued to the ship's deck by using a mounting tool, and that joint sealing paste of a type that adheres to the adjacent deck planks but does not adhere to the glue on the deck surface is introduced into the spaces between the deck planks or surfacing elements.
DEVICE OF THE INVENTION
The invention also concerns a mounting tool for the surfacing of a ship's deck.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE OF THE INVENTION The mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the mounting tool comprises a body, guide tabs provided on the underside of the body to define distances of desired magnitude between the planks or elements to be mounted.
EMBODIMENTS OF THE DEVICE OF THE INVENTION
A preferred embodiment of the mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the distances between the guide tabs of the mounting tool preferably correspond to the width of the planks to be mounted, and the thicknesses of the tabs preferably correspond to the distances between the planks or elements to be mounted.
A second preferred embodiment of the mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the body of the mounting tool is preferably a plate-like body of elongate shape and having transverse parallel ridges on its lower surface, the width of said ridges mainly corresponding to the width of the gap between the deck planks.
The parallel ridges placed between the gaps between the deck planks force the mounting tool to be set in a position perpendicular to the planks to be mounted. Therefore, the deck planks to be mounted or the surfacing elements formed from deck planks are automatically mounted in the correct position and so that the distances between the deck planks have exactly the desired magnitude. A third preferred embodiment of the mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the body, such as the body plate of the mounting tool is provided with at least one opening, through which the width of the gap between two abutting deck planks can be observed during mounting.
A fourth preferred embodiment of the mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the end of the mounting tool is provided with a locking element, by means of which adjacent mounting tools can be locked together, and that by means of the locking elements, two or more mounting tools can be coupled together as extensions of each other so as to form a long continuous mounting tool.
A fifth preferred embodiment of the mounting tool of the invention is characterized in that the locking element at the end of the mounting tool is preferably a hook-like indentation formed in the body, such as the body plate of the mounting tool.
According to the invention, a surfacing element can be assembled beforehand from deck planks and the element is glued fast to the ship's deck. The distances between the surfacing elements are determined by using a mounting tool according to the invention. Another possible procedure is to mount the deck planks separately by using a mounting tool. Further, it is also possible to mount at least one deck plank on the ship's deck after a surfacing element has been mounted. In each case, the lateral distances between the deck planks or the surfacing elements formed from deck planks can be determined appropriately by using the mounting tool of the invention.
EXAMPLES OF EMBODIMENTS
In the following, the invention will be described by the aid of an example with reference to the drawings, wherein

Fig. 2 presents the mounting tool in Fig. 1 in side view.
Fig. 3 presents a surfacing element formed from deck planks.
Fig. 4 presents a top-view illustration of how deck planks or surfacing elements formed from deck planks are mounted using mounting tools. Fig. 5 presents the mounting tool of the invention in side view and a cross-section of a ship deck structure according to the invention. Fig. 6 presents a detail of the cross-section in Fig. 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Fig. 1 presents a mounting tool 10 according to the invention as seen from below. The tool comprises a plate-like elongate body 11 provided with parallel narrow ridge-shaped guide tabs 12 on its lower side. The distances between the guide tabs 12 from each other correspond to the width of the deck planks to be mounted, and the widths of the guide tabs 12 correspond to the width of the gap between two adjacent deck planks. The plate-like body of the mounting tool 10 is provided with openings 15, through with it is possible to see the magnitude of the gap between two deck planks placed end to end. If the width of this gap differs from the gaps at the sides of the deck planks, then the relative positions of the planks with respect to each other can still be adjusted. Thus, all joints between the deck planks of the ship can be made equal and a deck of regular appearance is obtained.
Further, each end of the mounting tool 10 is provided with a locking element 14a, 14b, which consist of indentations formed in the body plate 11 of the mounting tool. The locking elements are used to lock together several mounting tools 10 as extensions of each other so as to form a mounting tool of desired length, extending even across the entire deck of the ship if desirable.
Fig. 2 presents the mounting tool 10 of Fig. 1 in side view. As shown in the figure, the edges 13 of the ridges of the guide tabs 12 have been shaped in a somewhat wedge-like fashion to enable them to be more easily pressed into the spaces between deck planks or between surfacing elements formed from deck planks.
Fig. 3 presents a surfacing element 21 formed from deck planks, which has been formed from deck planks 20 by using transverse strips 22. The strips 22, preferably made of stainless steel, keep the deck planks 20 at the correct distance from each other. During the mounting work, however, the angle between the deck planks 20 and the strips 22 may differ from the right angle, in which case the distances between the deck planks 20 may also change a little. By using a mounting tool 10 as presented in Fig. 1 and 2, the deck planks 20 of the surfacing element 21 can be mounted with gaps, i.e. joints of exactly the desired width between them.
Fig. 4 presents a top-view illustration of how the deck planks 20 or surfacing elements formed from deck planks are mounted using mounting tools. Fig. 4 shows two mounting tools 10a and 10 locked together. By means of the locking elements 14, the mounting tools 10a and 10 can be extended even across the entire deck of the ship. This allows the deck planks 20 to be mounted in an uninterrupted process. The elongate ridge-shaped guide tabs on the underside of the mounting tools 10a and 10 accurately determine the distances of the deck planks 20 from each other.
In Fig. 4, the guide tabs 12 of even the mounting tool consisting of a plurality of mounting tools 10a and 10 are at the same constant distance from each other even if they are located on different sides of the joint formed by the locking elements 14a and 14b. The plate-like bodies 11 of the mounting tools 10a and 10 are provided with openings 15, through which it is possible to see the width of the gap 23 between two deck planks 20a and 2b placed end to end. If the width of this gap 23 differs from the width of the gaps at the sides of the deck planks, then the positions of the planks 20a and 20b relative to each other can be adjusted.
Fig. 5 presents a partially sectioned side view of deck planks 20 being mounted on the deck 30 of a ship by the method of the invention. First, glue 31 is applied to the deck 30 and then the planks 20 are laid side by side upon the glue, using a mounting tool 10 as an aid. The wedge-shaped guide tabs 12 of the mounting tool 10 are pressed into the spaces between the deck planks 20, thereby exactly determining the distances between the planks. In this way, the deck planks 20 can be mounted at exactly the right positions.
Fig. 6 presents a cross-sectional view of deck planks 20 already mounted. Once the glue between the ship's deck 30 and the deck planks 20 has dried enough to keep the deck planks 20 in position, the mounting tools are removed. Next, joint sealing paste 32 is introduced into the empty spaces between the deck planks 20, a water-tight deck surfacing structure being thus obtained. The joint sealing paste 32 preferably consists of a material that does not adhere to the glue 31. Such a structure is particularly advantageous because, at the interface 33, the joint sealing paste 32 and the glue are apart from each other, thermal expansion or other deformation of the deck planks will not cause the deck planks to be detached from the deck of the ship. Thus, the firm and tight structure endures well regardless of the influence of weather.
