Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 352 words
A stanchion unit assembly for supporting floor boards comprising: a plurality of vertical stanchion units including rests which constitute the upper portions of said vertical stanchion units and support said floor board's and base plates which constitutes the lower portions of said vertical stanchion units and are disposed in contact with a floor foundation; a plurality of oblique member support stanchion units including rests which constitute the upper portions of said oblique member support stanchion units and support said floor boards, and base plates which constitute the lower portions of said oblique member support stanchion units and are provided with oblique member support parts; a plurality of floating rests supporting said floor boards on the tops of said floating rests and provided with oblique member support parts at the lower portions of said floating rests; and a plurality of oblique members extending from the oblique member support parts of each of said oblique member support stanchion units to those of the floating rests; a plurality of said vertical stanchion units and all of said oblique member support stanchion units being alternately disposed on first imaginary straight lines extending in the direction of the width or depth of a room provided with said floor boards laid therein, and having intervals, each of which is slightly shorter than each side edge of said floor board; all of said floating rests and other said vertical stanchion units being alternately disposed on second imaginary straight lines extending in parallel with said first imaginary straight lines and alternately thereto and separated therefrom by a direction slightly shorter than each side edge of said floor board, so that said floating rests face said plurality of said vertical stanchion units in the direction of the depth or width of said room, and said other vertical stanchion units face the oblique member support stanchion units in said direction of is a depth or width; and said oblique members extending from the oblique member support parts of each of said oblique member support stanchion units to those of the floating rests located around the oblique member support stanchion unit diagonally thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 352 words
A stanchion unit assembly for supporting floor boards comprising: a plurality of vertical stanchion units including rests which constitute the upper portions of said vertical stanchion units and support said floor board's and base plates which constitutes the lower portions of said vertical stanchion units and are disposed in contact with a floor foundation; a plurality of oblique member support stanchion units including rests which constitute the upper portions of said oblique member support stanchion units and support said floor boards, and base plates which constitute the lower portions of said oblique member support stanchion units and are provided with oblique member support parts; a plurality of floating rests supporting said floor boards on the tops of said floating rests and provided with oblique member support parts at the lower portions of said floating rests; and a plurality of oblique members extending from the oblique member support parts of each of said oblique member support stanchion units to those of the floating rests; a plurality of said vertical stanchion units and all of said oblique member support stanchion units being alternately disposed on first imaginary straight lines extending in the direction of the width or depth of a room provided with said floor boards laid therein, and having intervals, each of which is slightly shorter than each side edge of said floor board; all of said floating rests and other said vertical stanchion units being alternately disposed on second imaginary straight lines extending in parallel with said first imaginary straight lines and alternately thereto and separated therefrom by a direction slightly shorter than each side edge of said floor board, so that said floating rests face said plurality of said vertical stanchion units in the direction of the depth or width of said room, and said other vertical stanchion units face the oblique member support stanchion units in said direction of is a depth or width; and said oblique members extending from the oblique member support parts of each of said oblique member support stanchion units to those of the floating rests located around the oblique member support stanchion unit diagonally thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 228 words
A rest assembly for a stanchion unit which supports floor boards over a floor slab at a prescribed distance therefrom comprising: a base having a concave reception part as the central portion of the top of said base, and a first hole vertically extending through said base at the center of said concave reception part; a lower cylinder opened at the top thereof, and having a convex bottom in surface contact with said concave reception part, and a second hole vertically extending through said bottom at the center thereof and larger in diameter than said first hole; a first clamping member which has an outside diameter nearly equal to the diameter of said first hole, and is inserted in said first and second holes from said first hole to said second hole so as to clamp said base and said lower cylinder to each other; an upper cylinder fitted in the open top of said lower cylinder, and supporting said floor boards at the corners thereof on the top of said upper cylinder; and a second clamping member which vertically extends through said upper cylinder at the center of the top thereof, and is located in contact with the upper end of said first clamping member at the lower end of said second clamping member, and capable of being turned to move said upper cylinder up or down.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 228 words
A rest assembly for a stanchion unit which supports floor boards over a floor slab at a prescribed distance therefrom comprising: a base having a concave reception part as the central portion of the top of said base, and a first hole vertically extending through said base at the center of said concave reception part; a lower cylinder opened at the top thereof, and having a convex bottom in surface contact with said concave reception part, and a second hole vertically extending through said bottom at the center thereof and larger in diameter than said first hole; a first clamping member which has an outside diameter nearly equal to the diameter of said first hole, and is inserted in said first and second holes from said first hole to said second hole so as to clamp said base and said lower cylinder to each other; an upper cylinder fitted in the open top of said lower cylinder, and supporting said floor boards at the corners thereof on the top of said upper cylinder; and a second clamping member which vertically extends through said upper cylinder at the center of the top thereof, and is located in contact with the upper end of said first clamping member at the lower end of said second clamping member, and capable of being turned to move said upper cylinder up or down.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 60 words
A rest assembly according to the claim 2 further comprising: a jut member provided on the peripheral surface of the lower cylinder and substantially horizontally extending from said peripheral surface; and inclination fixing screws inserted at substantially equal intervals into said jut member and located in contact with the top of the base at the lower ends of said screws.
