Abstract
Abstract @ A floating floor construction comprising adjoining floor slabs which are supported at the angular points by adjusting feet by means of which the floating floor rests on the subfloor, the adjusting foot being provided with a base plate, a screwed spindle with nut and a platform having on the under-side a bush fitting over the screwed spindle and resting on the nut. The base plate is fitted with a central dishing for receiving the screwed spindle, while the plate portion around the central dishing is provided with radial, downwardly embossed zones having depths increasing towards the edge of the plate. The arrangement is such that the adjusting foot can be placed on the subfloor without attachment means, resting in unloaded condition on embossed zones of the base plate and in loaded condition the supporting function is taken over by the under-side of the central dishing provided with a two-sided adhesive layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
An adjusting foot destined for use in a floating floor construction, comprising adjoining floor slabs supported at the angular points by adjusting feet by means of which the floating floor rests on the subfloor without attachment means, a screwed spindle with nut and a platform having at the under-side a bush fitting over the screwed spindle and resting on the nut, characterized in that the base plate is fitted with a central dishing for receiving the screwed spindle, while the plate portion around the central dishing is provided with radial, downwardly embossed zones having depths increasing towards the edge of the plate in such a manner that the adjusting foot, in unloaded conditions, rests on embossed zones and in loaded condition the supporting function is taken over by the under-side of the central dishing, which is provided with a two-sided adhesive layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
An adjusting foot destined for use in a floating floor construction, comprising adjoining floor slabs supported at the angular points by adjusting feet by means of which the floating floor rests on the subfloor without attachment means, a screwed spindle with nut and a platform having at the under-side a bush fitting over the screwed spindle and resting on the nut, characterized in that the base plate is fitted with a central dishing for receiving the screwed spindle, while the plate portion around the central dishing is provided with radial, downwardly embossed zones having depths increasing towards the edge of the plate in such a manner that the adjusting foot, in unloaded conditions, rests on embossed zones and in loaded condition the supporting function is taken over by the under-side of the central dishing, which is provided with a two-sided adhesive layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
An adjusting foot according to claim 1, characterized in that the bush of the tile supporting platform is provided in cross-section with flat sides with an interspace substantially equal to the outside dimension of the screwed spindle, which is enlarged at least at one location by deformation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
An adjusting foot according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the platform is formed by a metal receptacle filled as far as the upper edge with an elastomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
An adjusting foot according to claim 3, characterized in that the metal receptacle contains a sheet of synthetic rubber filling the receptacle, having a Shore hardness of 60-80.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A floating floor construction with adjusting feet according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein use is made of a separation fitting, such as a cross to be placed on the platform, characterized in that the floor panels are kept interspaced by the separation fitting.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
76 words
A floor panel for use in a floating floor construction in combination with adjusting feet according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the floor panel is designed in the form of a tile consisting of a metal receptacle having a bottom and upright edges with a short, outwardly directed circumferential flange at the upper edge, said receptacle being filled as far as the upper edge with compression resistant material, in particular concrete.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
A floating floor construction according to claim 5 and using a floor panel according to claim 6, characterized in that the dimensions of the separation cross and of the tile receptacle, in particular the edge flanges thereof, are chosen in such a manner that in a mounted floating floor construction, the edge flanges of adjoining tiles have a slight interspace, in the order of 1-3 mm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
A floor panel according to claim 6 in the application according to claim 7, characterized in that the edge flanges of the tile receptacles are rounded at the angular points.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
63 words
An aid for cutting a tile from a carpet laid on a floating floor according to any one of the preceding claims, in the form of a carpet knife having a handle and a blade, characterized in that the knife is fitted with a guide attached to the handle and extending into the cutting plane at the cutting edge side of the knife.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
116 words
A floor panel according to claim 6 in the form of a floor tile consisting of a metal receptacle with a compression resistant filling, while the under-side of the tile has an arch shape, with the arch legs at the angular points, characterized in that the metal receptacle has the maximum depth in the angular zones, outside the angular zones the receptacle depth decreases abruptly and the receptacle bottom, except for discontinuities, extends substantially horizontally at a level lying at about 1/3 of the receptacle depth, while halfway two angular zones the receptacle bottom with raised portions links up approximately with the configuration of one half of a truncated cone with the receptacle sidewall in question.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
55 words
A floor panel according to claim 10, characterized in that in the central tile zone the horizontal bottom portion is discontinued by a raised portion having the shape of a sphere segment, while radially embossed zones of outwardly increasing depths extend according to the tile diagonals from adjacent the sphere segment into the angular zones.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
73 words
A floor panel according to claim 10 or 11, charachterized by dishings disposed in the tile receptacle between the central sphere segment and each of the truncated cones, extending parallel to the respective tile edges, said dishings having such depths that, when cutting a tile for placement at an edge of a floor construction, the sub-tile with the rib formed by a dishing can rest on a molding or the like edge support.
