Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a system for the construction of block pavings.
  • the traditional cobblestone pavements include blocks of leucitite, a rock of volcanic origin typical of the Colli Albani and Viterbo areas, rough-hewn in the shape of a truncated pyramid measuring approximately 12 x 12 x 18 cm, placed together and laid dry on a bed of sand and/or pozzolana.
  • some known floorings include blocks made up of wooden parallelepipeds, for example with a base of 10 x 14 cm.
  • the applicant had the opportunity to test a flooring version with blocks of autoclave-treated pine wood, with a base size of 9 x 9 cm, and a depth varying from 5 to 9 cm.
  • the height of the blocks of 5 cm is not sufficient to guarantee their optimal stability in particularly dry conditions.
  • the technical aim of the present invention is to improve the state of the art in the sector of systems for creating block paving.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to make available a system for the construction of block paving which is an alternative to existing systems.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise a system for the construction of block paving having limited thickness.
  • a further object of the present invention is to develop a system for the construction of block paving that is easy to install and remove, even in public areas without damaging the underlying surface.
  • Another object of the present invention is to make available a system for the creation of block paving with simple installation on various types of supports. Another object of the present invention is to create a reliable and resistant block paving system.
  • the system according to the invention includes a plurality of modules, intended to be laid on the surface on which the paving is intended to be created, placed next to each other so as to obtain a sort of grid.
  • Each of the modules comprises, in turn, a base, comprising a lower surface resting on the surface intended for the creation of the paving, and a housing, open at the top.
  • Each of the modules also includes a block, inserted inside the housing, comprising, in turn, at least one face intended to constitute the external surface of the paving to be created.
  • the base of each of the modules includes means of attachment, of a removable type, to the bases of the adjacent modules.
  • the system can be installed easily and quickly on surfaces of various types, and can be removed equally easily when its presence is no longer necessary.
  • the system also includes a material to fill the spaces between adjacent modules, suitable for creating joints between the aforementioned faces of the module blocks.
  • the polymeric material inserted in the spaces provided between adjacent modules, gives stability and resistance to the system, as well as allowing for high customization thanks to the choice of colors of the material.
  • the filling material is polymeric sand.
  • the number 1 generally indicates a system for the creation of block paving according to the present invention.
  • System 1 includes a plurality of modules 2 ( figure 3 ), intended to be laid on the surface on which the paving is intended to be created.
  • the modules are placed next to each other in order to obtain a sort of grid.
  • each of the modules 2 includes a base 3 ( figure 4 ).
  • the base 3 of each of the modules 2 includes a lower surface 4, for resting on the surface intended for the creation of the paving.
  • each of the modules 2 also includes a housing 5, open at the top.
  • each of the modules 2 also includes a block 6, inserted - in use - inside the housing 5.
  • the block 6, in turn, includes at least one face 7, intended to constitute (together with the faces 7 of the other blocks 6) the external surface 8 of the paving to be created.
  • the base 3 of each of the modules 2 also includes mutual fastening means 9, of a removable type, to the bases 3 of the adjacent modules 2.
  • the system 1 also includes a filling material 10 of the spaces 11 (see in particular figure 2 ) included between adjacent modules 2.
  • the aforementioned filling material 10 is suitable for creating joints 12 interposed between the faces 7 of the blocks 6 of the modules 2 intended to create the external surface 8 of the paving.
  • each of the modules 2 includes a bottom 13, and perimeter walls 14, connected to the bottom 13, which define the aforementioned housing 5 for the insertion of the respective block 6.
  • the bottom 13 includes, in turn, a central opening 15.
  • the fastening means 9 of each of the bases 3 comprise first coupling elements 16 and second coupling elements 17, associated with the perimeter walls 14 of the base 3 of each of the modules 2.
  • first coupling elements 16 and second coupling elements 17 are configured to mutually couple.
  • first coupling elements 16 of a base 3 are configured to couple with the second coupling elements 17 of an adjacent base 3.
  • the first coupling elements 16 and the second coupling elements 17 have complementary geometries.
  • first coupling elements 16 include lateral projections associated with respective perimeter walls 14 of each base 3.
  • the second coupling elements 17, however, include respective lateral frame sections 18, also associated with respective perimeter walls 14 of each base 3, which define respective recesses 19.
  • These recesses 19 are shaped, in fact, so as to house the first coupling elements 16 to obtain a safe and stable connection between adjacent bases 3.
  • the base 3 of each of the modules 2 includes four perimeter walls 14 which form - when the aforementioned base 3 is observed in plan view - a square (or possibly also a rectangle).
  • block 6 of each module 2 also has a parallelepiped shape, with a square or rectangular base.
  • each block 6 can be 9 x 9 cm (base) and 4 cm (height).
  • the second coupling elements 17 therefore include, in this embodiment, two lateral frame sections 18 - which therefore define respective recesses 19, or seats - provided along two adjacent perimeter walls 14 of each base 3.
  • the aforementioned two lateral frame sections 18 are mutually connected, that is, in other words they constitute, in fact, a single continuous section of frame which surrounds two adjacent perimeter walls 14 of each base 3.
  • the fastening means 9 comprise two first coupling elements 16 provided along the two respective remaining perimeter walls 14, also adjacent to each other, of each base 3.
  • first coupling elements 16 and the second coupling elements 17 are substantially shaped like a dovetail (and therefore with complementary shapes to each other).
  • first coupling elements 16 are made up of dovetail-shaped protrusions, while the second coupling elements 17 include recesses 19, also in the shape of a dovetail, of dimensions suitable for housing the first coupling elements 16.
  • This measure therefore makes it possible to obtain a safe and stable mutual connection between the bases 3 of the adjacent modules 2.
  • the fastening means 9 between the bases 3 of the adjacent modules 2 are configured - thanks, above all, to the shape and dimensions of the lateral frame sections 18 - in such a way as to guarantee a certain distance between the bases 3 of the modules 2 themselves, and therefore between the respective blocks 6.
  • the lateral frame sections 18 of the second coupling elements 17, and the first coupling elements 16 are, in particular, defined by further walls 20 which develop from the perimeter walls 14 of each of the bases 3; these further walls 20 are lower in height than the aforementioned perimeter walls 14.
  • both the lateral frame sections 18 of the second coupling elements 17 and the first coupling elements 16 conform respective lower portions 21, which are flat and coplanar to the bottom 13 of the base 3.
  • the bottom 13 and/or the first coupling elements 16 and/or the second coupling elements 17 comprise respective drainage holes 22.
  • the drainage holes 22 can be provided in the lower portions 21 of the first coupling elements 16 and in the lateral frame sections 18 of the second coupling elements 17.
  • the drainage holes 22 have the function of facilitating the flow of water from the various modules 2 of system 1.
  • the base 3 of each of the modules 2 is made of injection molded plastic.
  • the block 6 of each of the modules 2 is made of a material chosen from wood, concrete, terracotta.
  • each block 6 could be made of autoclaved pine wood.
  • the filling material 10 of the spaces 11 defined between the blocks 6 of the modules 2 comprises polymeric sand.
  • This polymeric sand could be of various colors to increase the decorative potential of system 1.
  • the system 1 can include a perimeter curb 23, which surrounds the modules 2 of the system 1 (all or only some of them).
  • the perimeter curb 23 can have the function of finishing and/or containing the filling material 10 of system 1.
  • the perimeter curb 23 includes a plurality of segments 24; the segments 24 can be associated with the bases 3 of the modules 2.
  • the segments 24 are arranged adjacent to each other, so as to obtain a substantially continuous structure.
  • Some of the segments 24, if designed to be installed at the corners of the system 1, can have a rounded end, as shown schematically in the aforementioned figure 6 .
  • Each of the segments 24 includes a respective lateral protrusion 25, or a respective indentation 26 (depending on the positions of the various segments 24 with respect to the modules 2); each protrusion 25, or indentation 26, has an identical, or substantially identical, shape to that of each of the first coupling elements 16, or of the second coupling elements 17, of the bases 3.
  • each of these protrusions 25 of the segments 24 is suitable to engage in a respective recess 19 of a second coupling element 17 of one of the bases 3 of the system 1, so as to obtain a stable constraint of the perimeter curb 23 to the bases 3; or, each indentation 26 is suitable for housing a respective first coupling element 16 of one of the bases 3.
  • the perimeter curb 23 can be made of molded plastic, as are the bases 3 of the modules 2, or of another suitable material (for example, chosen for particular aesthetic reasons).
  • the segments 24 can be made with the respective external sides having an angle to the ground less than 90°, for anti-stumbling purposes.
  • FIG. 8 Another embodiment of system 1 according to the invention is illustrated in figures 8, 9 .
  • This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the lower portion 21 of the lateral frame sections 18 also extends to the recesses 19 of the second coupling elements 17, so as to obtain, also at each of these, some respective bottom walls.
  • the lower portions 21 extended to the recesses 19 also include respective drainage holes 22.
  • each lower portion 21 of each recess 19 constitutes a support surface for the corresponding first coupling element 16, so that the mutual bond between two adjacent modules 2 is made more stable, and the risk of accidental detachment is limited.
  • each lower portion 21 of a module 2 limits the possible relative rotation of the adjacent module 2, so as to prevent the overall concatenation of the modules 2 from taking on unexpected or irregular shapes, as shown in the aforementioned figure 9 .
  • the system allows obtaining significant advantages both in terms of the quality of the result (as can be seen in the photograph in figure 7 ) and in terms of its installation method.
  • the system can be easily set up on various types of substrates, for example a rigid substrate such as screed, concrete, asphalt, stone, or a stabilized substrate.
  • a rigid substrate such as screed, concrete, asphalt, stone, or a stabilized substrate.
  • the system can be customized in various ways, thanks to the choice of the material of the various blocks 6 (which, naturally, can be identical to each other, but also different) and as regards the choice of the filling material 10.
  • the system is considerably more limited in thickness than known installations. Furthermore, thanks to the particular and innovative conformation of the fastening means 9, it can be installed easily and quickly, and equally removed, without ruining the underlying surface.
