Abstract

A profiled element for laying raised floors, which comprises a first flat portion that extends longitudinally and a second flat portion that extends longitudinally in the same direction as the first portion and is arranged transversely with respect to the arrangement of the first portion, grip protrusions for an adhesive for coverings or floors being defined on the second flat portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A raised floor comprising:
a profiled element for laying raised floors, the profiled element comprising:
a first flat portion that extends longitudinally and
a second flat portion that extends longitudinally in the same direction as said first portion and is arranged transversely with respect to the arrangement of said first portion,
a plurality of grip protrusions defined on said second flat portion,
a flange of said first flat portion extending beyond a connection line that connects the first flat portion with the second flat portion,
wherein the profiled element is placed on a lifting support, the lifting support having an upright supporting post disposed beneath the first flat portion, wherein a horizontal covering element is placed on the first flat portion and a vertical covering element is placed on an adhesive on the second flat portion, such that a gap is concealed by the profiled element and the vertical covering element.

2. The raised floor according to claim 1 , wherein said second flat portion is perpendicular to the first flat portion and defines a substantially L-shaped cross-section.

3. The raised floor according to claim 1 , wherein openings for outflow of water are provided on the first portion.

4. The raised floor according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are constituted by a series of flat longitudinal ribs, which protrude outward with respect to a laying configuration and are inclined with respect to the arrangement of the second portion.

5. The raised floor according to claim 1 , wherein said flange extends beyond the connection line for a length that corresponds to a height of the protrusions.

6. The raised floor according to claim 1 , further comprising a longitudinal edge extending upward from a free end of the flange, with respect to a configuration for use, to cover and protect a lateral face of the horizontal covering element that is adjacent to said longitudinal edge.

7. The raised floor according to claim 6 , wherein said longitudinal edge is perpendicular to the flange.

8. The raised floor according to claim 6 , wherein said flange extends beyond the connection line for a length at least the same as a thickness of the vertical or covering element.

9. The raised floor according to claim 6 , wherein said longitudinal edge has a height that corresponds to a thickness of a horizontal flooring or covering element.

10. A raised floor, comprising:
an array of lifting supports, the array including perimetric lifting supports each lifting support having an upright supporting post,
profiled elements are placed on the lifting supports, one profiled element for each side of the perimeter of the raised floor that is exposed,
wherein each of the profiled elements includes a first flat portion that extends longitudinally and a second flat portion that extends longitudinally in the same direction as said first portion and is arranged transversely with respect to the arrangement of said first portion, a plurality of grip protrusions defined on said second flat portion, a flange of said first flat portion extending beyond a connection line that connects the first flat portion with the second flat portion,
a plurality of horizontal flooring or covering elements, of which the perimetric horizontal flooring or covering elements are adapted to be placed with one edge surmounting the first flat portion of the profiled element, and
a plurality of vertical flooring or covering elements fixed to the second flat portion of the profiled element by way of an adhesive such that a gap is concealed by the profiled element and the vertical flooring or covering elements.
