Abstract
Abstract A self-supporting composite plate for double floors or the like, comprising a pan-shaped wrapper for receiving therein a flowable and hardenable filler material of high compression resistance when in a hardened state, such as anhydrite or concrete. The pan-shaped wrapper comprises a plurality of downwardly extending burl-like projecting blocks containing the filler material. A base element of high tensile strength is connected to the projecting blocks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
Self-supporting composite plate, for double floors or the like, with a pan-shaped outside wrapper for flowable and hardenable filler material with high compression resistance when in hardened state, e.g. anhydrite, concrete or the like, characterized in that the pan-shaped wrapper (11) is provided on the bottom thereof with a plurality of burl-like projecting blocks (12) containing filler material (18), and a base element (15) of high tensile strength is connected to said projecting blocks, said base element (15) being a thin sheet metal plate and being welded to the bottoms of the projecting blocks (12) to absorb tensile stresses thereon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
Self-supporting composite plate, for double floors or the like, with a pan-shaped outside wrapper for flowable and hardenable filler material with high compression resistance when in hardened state, e.g. anhydrite, concrete or the like, characterized in that the pan-shaped wrapper (11) is provided on the bottom thereof with a plurality of burl-like projecting blocks (12) containing filler material (18), and a base element (15) of high tensile strength is connected to said projecting blocks, said base element (15) being a thin sheet metal plate and being welded to the bottoms of the projecting blocks (12) to absorb tensile stresses thereon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, characterized in that the base element (15) is perforated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, characterized in that the base element (15) is provide with stiffening means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, characterized in that the burl-like projecting blocks are approximately half the total height of the pan-shaped wrapper (11).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, characterized in that the burl-like projecting blocks (12) are configured as truncated cones that taper inwardly and downwardly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
85 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, characterized in that the height of the burl-like projecting blocks (12) is tapered progressively upwardly toward the middle of the pan-shaped wrapper (11), in order to arch the bottom of the pan-shaped wrapper (11) upwardly toward the middle thereof, whereby following subsequent introduction of the filler material (18), the bottom of the wrapper (11) is deformed downwardly at the middle thereof so that the bottom and top of the composite plate (10, 10A) run substantially parallel to each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
Composite plate as in claim 1, wherein the pan-shaped wrapper (11) has openings (21) therein with inwardly pressed edges for anchoring in the filler material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
Composite plate as in claim 9, wherein the openings (21) are in the bottoms (14) of the burl-like projecting blocks (12).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
Composite plate as in claim 10, characterized in that the openings (21) in the bottoms (14) of the burl-like projecting blocks (12) are closed from the outside by the base element (15).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
Composite plate as in claim 2, characterized in that the burl-like projecting blocks (12) are provided on their bottoms with weld projections (17) for the alignment of the base element (15).
