  • Publication number: 20230003033
    Abstract: A system for fastening to a flat surface slats having a rectangular or square plan shape predisposed to be arranged two by two side by side and spaced mutually apart to make a flooring, wall, or ceiling includes: a base integrally associated with a flat surface and configured for positioning above and/or laterally thereto at least two slats in a laying condition. The system includes a constraining component of this base to two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally thereto in the laying condition, and a supporting component of at least one of two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally to the base in the laying condition. The supporting component includes at least one bridge structure defined by two legs, connected by a crosspiece which defines, on the opposite side to the base, an abutment surface, to prevent or limit deformation of this portion towards the base.

  • Publication number: 20180238064
    Abstract: A modular support structure for floors may include: a plurality of support elements, configured to combine with one another, for formation of a plane on which concrete can be laid, on which a floor in turn can be made. Each of the support elements includes at least one sustaining element, on top of which at least one insulating plate is associated, the at least one insulating plate configured to form a plane for the concrete. The at least one sustaining element includes at least one sustaining tubular element configured to extend from the at least one insulating plate to the ground. The support elements are configured to keep free space between the at least one insulating plate and the ground. The at least one sustaining tubular element is open on top, so that the concrete enters the at least one sustaining tubular element to form a sustaining pillar.

  • Publication number: 20100146889
    Abstract: A unit (1) for the construction of slab foundations, the unit (1) includes modules (M) of domes (C) made of plastic material and which are suitable for being laid in the ground of a site in accordance with modules (M) of at least one dome (C) which are arranged laterally in relation to each other to form a gridwork of channels (2) which are engaged by reinforcing bars or sheaths (F). Interconnecting elements (10) are arranged in an intermediate position between at least two adjacent modules (M) of domes (C) to connect to each other the adjacent module (M) of domes (C) defining a reciprocal positioning distance.

  • Publication number: 20080236084
    Abstract: A Disposable casing (1) is for thermally insulated walls in reinforced concrete. The casing (1) is provided with two main panels (2) which face each other and are limited towards the outside by respective lateral surfaces (2e), and with at least two casing spacers (3) which are interposed between the two main panels (2) in order to maintain the two main panels (2) at a determined distance from each other. At least one supplementary panel (5) is arranged against/abutting (a ridosso) the lateral surface (2e) of a respective main panel (2) and connecting elements (7) which are interposed between the supplementary panel (5) and the relative main panel (2)in order to render the supplementary panel (5) and the relative main panel (2) integral with each other.
