  • Publication number: 20230304229
    Abstract: Example implementations of a synthetic turf system comprise a turf tray and a turf element. The turf tray is rigid and planar, and has a lattice structure extending within the lateral perimeter. The turf element includes a backing portion and a blade portion. The blade portion is defined by a plurality of blades of artificial grass affixed to the backing portion, the backing portion is placed secured engagement with the upper side by way of, for example, adhesive or screws. The turf trays may include perimeter and auxiliary adhesive tracks, and an array of screw retention bosses. The system may include a sprinkler assembly mountable in the turf trays for washing down the turf elements. The sprinkler assembly may include mounting flanges configurable to accommodate mounting of various sprinklers. The system may include height-adjustable pedestals or joists to support the turf trays at a distance above the local horizonal surface.

  • Publication number: 20220282495
    Abstract: Exemplary implementations of a braced flooring tray support system comprise a braced pedestal subsystem and one or more trays. The braced pedestal subsystem may include several pedestals rigidly interconnected by several brace elements. The pedestals may include position-adjustable brace interface elements having vertical fins or an annular flange projecting radially. The tray corners are supported by respective pedestals. The brace elements may have an opposing pair of pedestal interface portions which include a fin-receiving or flange-receiving slot, and a pair of pin alignment apertures intersecting the slot. Brace fasteners configured to be manually installed in and removed from the pedestal interface portions. Each brace fastener may include a pair of fastener pins configured to extend through respective pin alignment apertures and respective attachment apertures when the brace fastener is installed.

  • Patent number: 9879385
    Abstract: Disclosed may be an intermediate surface for supporting a small paver, wherein the surface can also be used to exchange heat with the pavers. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be a tray defined by a frame with a lattice for supporting pavers. The tray preferably features a tubing track throughout the lattice to accommodate heat exchange tubing. In operation the tray may be positioned above a pedestal or directly on a subsurface. In embodiment, the tray may be outfitted with insulation and a metal plate so that heat may be exchanged with pedestals via fluid passing through tubing installed throughout the lattice. In a preferred embodiment, the tray features a slot in its corners for receiving a locking disk or locking slider.
