DE2314463A1 - Connected insulated ground plates - have common supporting feet at adjacent plate corners joined by screw and fitting in groove - Google Patents

Abstract

Waterproof plates of e.g. plastic may have heat insulating intermediate layer and are connected at the corners to supporting feet. Corners of adjoining plates share a common foot and are connected to it by a common central clamping screw. The edges of the plates project down and engage in a crossshaped symmetrical groove at the top of the foot. The foot has a circular base and tapers upwards and the clamping screw engages into a centrally located threaded hole in the head of the foot.

Base plate

The present invention "relates to one on the ground Od. Like. Base plate that can be set up, such as this one in particular for tents, Yorzelte od. The like. Is suitable.

To protect yourself from the ground, dust, ground moisture and the like. You put the floor of a tent or but also an ITor tent generally with a waterproof one Web, in particular a plastic film or the like. It is true that such a path provides the protection sought given, but there is still the technical part that no protection against the cold as well as against the ground Water is given. In addition, the roof covered by such a sheet or film is still uneven, which is particularly bad when the covered area is intended to serve as a place to work and sit.

The object of the present invention is now to eliminate this drawback that has hitherto still existed

and to create a base plate that also offers protection against the cold of the ground as well as against water.

This object is achieved according to the invention by several, closely spaced individual panels that sit on feet and, in order to prevent them from slipping, with one another are connected. Here, the individual panels sit expediently with their corners on the feet in question and can optionally also be screwed or jammed with these feet. It is of particular advantage if the Corners of the abutting individual panels sit on a common foot and use a common centric Clamping screw are connected to this.

IJm to prevent the individual panels from slipping against each other even if no special clamping connection is provided is, the respective individual plates expediently each have a downwardly protruding edge, which then again engages in grooves machined in the head of the foot in question. In this construction, the relevant So just insert individual plates into the grooves from above Use already set up feet and thus secured against lateral shifting. What about the single records Corresponding feet are concerned, these appropriately have a cup-like or pot-like shape that tapers towards the top conical shape, in which case a cross-shaped head is used to accommodate said plate edges Incorporated groove and the crossing part of this groove is arranged centrally. This cup or pot-like design of the Feet has the particular advantage that the feet, possibly with their lower hand, get into the ground can be pushed in, which is especially necessary when the surface in question is uneven and for the individual panels to be placed on the feet

common level should be created. You can also do this Cup-like pieces easily inserted into one another for transport will.

Even with this previously treated design of the cup or Pot-like feet can be provided with a common clamping screw be, the central crossing part then penetrated by the shaft of this clamping screw holding the individual plates is and the threaded shaft engages in a threaded hole located in the head of the river. In this context In the corners of each individual plate, there is also a suitable counter bearing for the head of the clamping screw or else a washer, through which one extends over the relevant sector extending circular edge limited recess formed through which a sinking of the Screw head of the clamping screw possible and so a completely flat [Eritt-flat of the base plate 1 is guaranteed.

As far as the above-mentioned individual panels 2 are concerned, these are expedient as composite panels with one from formed an intermediate layer consisting of a heat insulating material. This heat insulating intermediate layer can for example made of plywood, cardboard, a plastic foam or the like. In a particularly useful Embodiment, these individual plates each consist of two outer plates made of plastic surrounding a cavity, the cavity in question then having a heat-insulating plastic foam is filled. To the It is expedient to increase the rigidity of these plates and thus also their dragging ability in this cavity of the individual plates one made of plastic, metal, wood, or the like Grid, in particular a honeycomb grid, introduced, the remaining cavities in turn with a heat-insulating Plastic foam are filled.

Finally, there are also the cup-shaped or pot-shaped feet Expediently made of plastic, then in the head of these feet in each case one of the receptacles of the shaft associated clamping screw serving threaded bushing can be pressed.

The drawing shows an example of an embodiment of the base plate according to the invention.

As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4, each individual plate 2 is designed as a composite plate, which again consists of the two outer plates 5 and 5 made of plastic, the cavity 7 between these outer plates 5 and 6 being filled with a heat-insulating synthetic foam 8 is. To give the individual plate 2 sufficient rigidity in this case, before the plastic foam 8 is introduced into this cavity 7, a grid designated by 9 has previously been inserted, which is also made of

Plastic, but also made of cardboard, aluminum or the like can consist. To eliminate a possibly existing risk of slipping the surface 10 of each individual plate 2 has a corrugation designated by 11. Both for reasons of stiffening of these individual plates 2 as well as to fix them, the two outer plates 5 and 6 each run in downwardly protruding positions Bands 12 and 13 off. .

The following Pig. 5 and 6 show one of the cup-shaped feet 4, which are also made of plastic and can be easily and space- _{savingly plugged into one another 0} In the head 14 of this S ¹ UBe 4, a cross groove designated by 15 is formed in each case, the crossing part 16 of which is arranged centrally. In addition, a bore designated 17 is incorporated in this intersection part 16, into which a threaded bush designated 18 is again pressed.

If the base plate 1 according to the invention is to be set up, the feet 4 provided are first of all in the corresponding To arrange distances a from each other. If this has happened, the individual plates 2 with their corners so placed on the heads 14 of the feet 4 that the edges 12/13 of these individual plates 2 just in the Pig. 7th engage in the manner shown in the cross groove 15 and are thus secured against slipping sideways.

If the base plate 1 is to be used for a longer period of time and is thus an even more intensive fixation the individual plates 2 to each other and also to the feet 4 desired, this can be achieved in that by the channel-like spaces located between the opposing corners 3 of the individual plates 2 inserted a designated 19 clamping screw and with its threaded shaft 20 in the in the head 14 of the associated
