Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the methods of producing floors, and the floors obtained, comprising a plurality of solid wood blades, resting and respectively fixed on a support, said two blades juxtaposed longitudinally of the floor being separated from one another by a non-zero distance.
  • floor it is appropriate to understand this word in a broad sense, including platforms, flooring, and more broadly any walking surface within the definition above.
  • the document FR 2,712,327 relates to a floor having a plurality of solid wood blades, resting and fixed on a support, two longitudinally juxtaposed blades being separated from one another by a non-zero distance and fixed on the support by means of rigid rods of the screw type placed in holes.
  • the blades further comprise respectively on their upper surfaces two small longitudinal grooves whose cross section adopts a V shape.
  • the documents GB 2,151,277 and GB 2,339,437 show floors having on their upper surface a matrix of grooves filled with a non-slip material.
  • the document ES 2 178 602 discloses a contiguous floor.
  • WO 02/46546 discloses a floor with blades spaced and fixed on their support by their lower bearing surface, by means of screws which are thus not visible.
  • Such a device has the disadvantage of offering a risk of release or weakening of the fastening of the wooden boards over time, when the width of these blades shrinks under the effect of their gradual and slow drying: the spacing between the juxtaposed blades is then enlarged, and the metal fastening element whose dimensions are fixed in time can be randomly brought to separate from one or the other of the grooves and no longer be in mesh in these, thus freeing at least punctually the wooden boards.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide a floor resulting from the method, without visible screws, which secures the fastening of the solid wood boards over time by means of rigid fixing rods whose blades can not be released in the defined arrangement, while concealing these fixing means, despite the non-zero distances present between the blades, by using the location of the rigid rods to combine the fixing of a non-slip means that hides them.
  • the anti-slip means allows an external implantation of the floor, with an optimized safety for people walking on the floor, especially barefoot.
  • the method advantageously makes it possible to level the upper surface of the floor defined by the upper surface of the blades and the upper visible face of the non-slip material, in a single sanding operation.
  • the embedment of the upper ends of the rigid fixing rods, in the grooves, allows a rapid implementation of these fastening means which will then be made invisible by the anti-slip material covering them.
  • said semi-fluid and non-slip solid state material is made of a material having an elastic nature in the solid state.
  • This feature optimizes the non-slip quality of the floor, while allowing to better adapt to the dimensional fluctuations of the groove over time, due to the dimensional variations of solid wood depending on the temperature and humidity, and the drying of the floor. this wood in time.
  • This feature is intended to improve the attachment qualities of the wood for fixing the antiskid material, to improve the strength of the connection of the latter to the wood and allow the deformation of the non-slip material while remaining attached to the wood.
  • the method according to the invention consists in forming said grooves by machining the wood during the machining of the blades.
  • the arrangement of the grooves allows a good retention of the blades in time because the fastening screw or the like thereof is distributed in a manner close to the longitudinal edges, and thus prevents the curling or transverse curvature of the blades.
  • the anti-slip material has a dual function: to make the top surface of the non-slip blades, and to put the blade attachment screws out of people's sight.
  • the location of the grooves near the edges also confers a anti-slip nature to the blades, in places suitable for this function.
  • said non-slip material is made of a material provided with an elastic nature.
  • said non-slip material comprises a polyurethane or an elastomer.
  • the floor according to the invention comprises at least one layer of a gripping product intermediate said non-slip material and the wood of the blades.
  • said grooves each adopt a U-shaped cross section, the upper opening of which opens exclusively onto the upper surface of the blades.
  • said support consists of beams arranged transversely to said blades.
  • Floor 1 shown on the Figures 1 and 2 comprises a plurality of solid wood blades 2 resting and respectively fixed on a support 3, two longitudinally juxtaposed blades 2a, 2b being separated from each other by a non-zero distance d.
  • the floor 1 finds an advantageous application, for example, but not only, in the form of a wet floor covering, for example forming the walking surfaces placed on the ground near the pools or basins.
  • the distance d between each pair of juxtaposed blades 2 is fixed and two blades 2 juxtaposed longitudinally are parallel.
  • Two blades 2a, 2b juxtaposed longitudinally are fixed to the support 3 by means of rigid rods, screws, nails or the like, preferably screws 7, and have on their upper surfaces 4 two longitudinal grooves 5a, 5b close to the two longitudinal edges 6a, 6b of those placed in vis-à-vis, respectively.
  • the fixing screws 7 of the two blades 2a, 2b are engaged inside the grooves 5a, 5b, so that each upper end 8 of screw 7, defined by each screw head, is located in the groove 5 in which screw is implanted.
  • the grooves 5a, 5b are filled with a non-slip material 9, which covers the upper ends 8 of the screws 7, which covers their heads in the example shown.
  • the non-slip material 9 is substantially flush with the upper surface 4 of the two blades 2a, 2b juxtaposed longitudinally.
  • the blades 2 of solid wood are parallel, but any arrangement of blades 2 solid wood can be used, according to the laying plan established taking into account the aesthetic sought, respecting the existence of a space between the blades 2, which may preferably be constant over the length of a pair of juxtaposed blades 2, and be constant or vary from one pair of blades juxtaposed to another.
  • the boards 2 of wood floor 1 can be made of any species of wood appropriate to the needs, the same or different for the same floor.
  • the blades 2 may in particular be made of IPE in the case of an outdoor floor application subjected to bad weather.
  • the blades 2 of wood are for example of rectangular cross-section, constant along the length of a blade, whose lateral edges 6 are for example smooth and may be devoid of any relief, as shown, because of the lack of means. fixing the blades 2 on the sides thereof.
  • the longitudinal sides 6 of the blades 2 are, in the example, smooth and parallel between the upper surface 4 and the lower surface 11 of the blades 2, deduction made of longitudinal chamfers or rounded angle of the blades, as shown.
  • reference 2a and 2b we define all pairs of blades 2 solid wood juxtaposed longitudinally in the floor 1 described.
  • the screws 7 used are preferably countersunk head screws 8, without the need for countersinking in the groove 5 for embedding the screw head. Indeed, considering that the groove 5 is filled with a material covering the heads, it is accepted that the screw head 7 can protrude above the groove bottom.
  • grooves 5 we define all grooves present in the blades 2 of a floor 1, and which functionally correspond to the grooves 5a, 5b described; the references 5a, 5b apply to all pairs of grooves 5 juxtaposed with two blades 2a, 2b juxtaposed longitudinally, respectively.
  • the grooves 5a, 5b are preferably made at a distance from the blade edge 2a, 2b, respectively, at least equal to the depth of the groove so as not to weaken the resistance of the blade on its upper edge.
  • Each groove 5a, 5b will preferably be parallel to its respective blade edge 2a, 2b.
  • the depth of a groove 5a, 5b will be a function of the tolerance allowed for exceeding the screw heads above the groove bottom surface, and the minimum thickness of the non-slip material 9 necessary for attachment to the blade 2 in the groove 5 and its duration in time.
  • the width of a groove 5a, 5b will preferably be equal to or slightly greater than the diameter of the screw head 7 so that each screw head 7 can penetrate into the groove 5 without damaging the upper edges of the groove.
  • the grooves 5 each preferably adopt a U-shaped cross-section, the upper opening of which opens exclusively onto the upper surface 4 of the blades 2.
  • Grooves 5 of square or substantially square cross-section may, for example, be suitable for blades 2 made of solid wood. 22 mm by 145 mm cross section. Any rectangular cross-sectional groove section 5 may also be suitable when the used screw head diameter 7 is larger or smaller than the required thickness of the non-slip material 9 substantially corresponding to the depth of the groove 5.
  • the necessary thickness of the anti-skid material 9 is less than the possible exceeding of the screw head 7 8 above the groove bottom 5, it is the latter condition which determines the groove depth 5 so that the screw heads 8 are covered by the non-slip material 9.
  • the distance d between two juxtaposed blades 2a 2b allows the transverse expansion of the blades and will be defined according to the location of the floor, ensuring depending on the location of the laying, the possibility of expansion of the blades 2.
  • a distance d less than 1 The thickness of the blades 2 is for example possible, and preferably this distance d will be between 3 and 5 millimeters, for France.
  • Each blade 2 is preferably provided with two grooves as described opening on the upper surface of the blade and respectively along the two longitudinal edges of the blade as shown in the figures.
  • Each groove 5 of the same blade 2 is preferably located at the same distance from the corresponding longitudinal blade edge, as defined above.
  • the two grooves 5 of the same blade 2 are parallel, as they are parallel to the longitudinal edges 6 of the blade.
  • the support 3 can be made of any material in which the rigid rods for fixing the blades 2 can penetrate, and for example wood.
  • the support 3 is advantageously constituted by beams 3a, 3b ... arranged transversely to the blades 2a, 2b ... of solid wood. These beams may be wood sleepers or joists, arranged perpendicularly to the blades 2, and under them, as shown in the figures.
  • the screws 7 are advantageously implanted in each groove 5a, 5b and in each cross member constituting the support 3 for two blades 2a, 2b juxtaposed. Similarly, the screws 7 are implanted in each groove 5 of the same blade 2, and preferably in each crosspiece along each groove 5.
  • the non-slip material is made of a material having an elastic nature.
  • the non-slip material 9 comprises a polyurethane or an elastomer. It may for example consist of a boat deck caulking putty, marketed under the reference Sikaflex®-290 DC in the form of a pasty one-component polyurethane which polymerizes under the action of air humidity.
