Abstract

Spacer parts carrying element provided for being mounted on a pedestal, which carrying element comprises a plate having an upper face and a lower face, said lower face being provided with a set of legs provided for gripping into an opening applied in a carrying surface of the pedestal, said legs of said set being applied around a perforation extending from the upper towards the lower face, each leg comprises a base part and a head part connected among each other by an intermediate part, the head part having a width inferior to the one of the base part, the head part having a width superior to the one of the intermediate part, the head part extending along a border of a space extending in an extension of the perforation.

Claims (27)

1. Spacer parts carrying element provided for being detachably mounted on a pedestal for raising a surface, which carrying element comprises:

a plate having an upper face and a lower face and a perforation extending perpendicularly through the plate from the upper face to the lower face,

carrying element spacer parts on the upper face extending upwards from the upper face, each of the spacer parts provided for maintaining a distance between two adjacent tiles having two corners, respectively, supported by the pedestal, and

a set of legs provided around the perforation by the lower face for gripping into an opening applied in a carrying surface of the pedestal, characterised in that each of the legs of said set comprises a base part and a head part connected to the base part by an intermediate part, the head part, intermediate part, and base part sequentially extending, respectively, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the perforation, each of the head part, intermediate part, and base part having a width, wherein the head part width is smaller than the width of the base part and larger than the width of the intermediate part, the head part having a length extending along a border of a space delimited by the set of legs and extending away from the perforation in the direction along which the perforation extends.

2. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that

the head part comprises a first circumference having a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, a first liaison, and a second liaison,

the first segment faces said space and has a curved profile effecting a matching first profile of said space,

a first end of said first segment is connected by the first liaison to the second segment, and

a second end of the first segment, opposite the first end, is connected to the third segment by the second liaison.

3. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 2 , characterised in that each of the first and second liaisons forms an obtuse angle with the first segment.

4. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 2 , characterised in that each of the second and third segments forms a substantially right angle with each of the first and second liaisons, respectively.

5. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 2 , characterised in that the first and second ends of the first segment are rounded.

6. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that

the base part comprises a second circumference having a fourth segment, a fifth segment, a sixth segment, a third liaison, and a fourth liaison,

the fourth segment forms an exterior border of the leg,

a first end of the fourth segment is connected by the third liaison to the fifth segment, and

a second end of the fourth segment, opposite to the first end, is connected to the sixth segment by the fourth liaison.

7. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 2 , characterised in that

the base part comprises a second circumference having a fourth segment, a fifth segment, a sixth segment, a third liaison, and a fourth liaison,

the fourth segment forms an exterior border of the leg,

a first end of the fourth segment is connected by the third liaison to the fifth segment, and

a second end of the fourth segment, opposite to the first end, is connected to the sixth segment by the fourth liaison.

8. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 7 , characterised in that each leg has a length situated between 0.7 and 1.2 cm.

9. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 8 , characterised in that the base part has a foot extending from the fourth segment.

10. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 9 , characterised in that the foot comprises an angled endpoint.

11. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that the set of legs is on a washer on the lower face, which washer and the set of legs are made of identical material.

12. Spacer parts carrying element as claimed in claim 8 , characterized in that each leg has a length of 1 cm.
