  • Patent number: 8863471
    Abstract: A method and a device serve for the installation of a false floor above a bare floor include false-floor supports that are placed in a regular grid pattern on the bare floor, on which floor panels are arranged alongside one another in rows. Mounting positions are determined for the false-floor supports and the false-floor supports to be installed are correspondingly positioned. Furthermore, a mounting plane lying at a mounting height is at least partially determined preferably by using laser devices. The false-floor supports to be installed are then positioned relative to the mounting plane. Pedestals, which are composed of solidifying pedestal material that is binding to the bare floor and which project beyond the mounting plane, are provided at the mounting positions before, during or after the positioning of the false-floor supports. The false-floor supports are then held each in the respective pedestal until the latter has solidified.

  • Patent number: 7381899
    Abstract: A cable guiding device with a cable guiding portion, such as a duct, that serves for guiding installed cables and that is mounted by a mounting device to a part of a building, such as a wall or ceiling. The mounting device has a holder having an upper portion, a lower portion and at least two opposing side walls, which define a cavity with a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the axis of the mounted cable guiding portion. The holder further has at least one longitudinal slot disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The slot extends the length of the holder and provides access to the cavity which is dimensioned to receive and at least partially envelope a cable disposed therein. The cable guiding portion, which has a bottom and first and second side walls, is attachable to the holder so as to cover the slot opening. The cable guiding portion is dimensioned to clutch at least a portion of the holder.

  • Publication number: 20060175510
    Abstract: The ceiling support (1), the purpose of which is to install a cable routing device (6), has an end piece (3) attached to a ceiling (9) and a connection piece (2) attaching thereto which is provided with a bracket (5) on which the load to be carried can be laid. According to the invention, the ceiling support (1) is mounted on the ceiling (9) only by means of one mounting bolt (8) provided on the end piece (3), and is supported against the ceiling (9) on the side opposite the load (6) at least by one support element (32, 320) which is located at a second distance (L2) from the mounting bolt (8) such that the load torque with the force (FL) of the load applied by the mounting bolt (8) at a first distance (L1) is essentially completely compensated by the counter-torque with the force (FD) applied to the support element (32, 320) by the ceiling (9) at the second distance (L2).
