Abstract
A T-flange engaging load bearing bed consisting of a metal sheet having an upper load bearing surface, a lower surface, and having a post receiving slot, and further consisting of a C-channel beam having an upwardly opening T-receiving channel, the C-channel beam being fixedly attached to the lower surface of the metal sheet so that the upwardly opening T-receiving channel underlies the post receiving slot.
Claims18
A T-flange engaging load bearing bed comprising:
- (a) a sheet having an upper load bearing surface and a lower surface, the sheet having at least a first post receiving slot, the at least first post receiving slot having a lateral dimension;
- (b) at least a first C-channel beam having an upwardly opening T-receiving channel, said channel having a lateral dimension, the lateral dimension of said channel being greater than the lateral dimension of the at least first post receiving slot;
- and,
- (c) attaching means, the attaching means positioning the at least first C-channel beam upon the lower surface of the sheet so that said beam's upwardly opening T-receiving channel underlies the at least first post receiving slot.

A T-flange engaging load bearing bed comprising:
- (a) a sheet having an upper load bearing surface and a lower surface, the sheet having a plurality of substantially parallel post receiving slots, each slot among said plurality of slots having a lateral dimension;
- (b) a plurality of C-channel beams, each beam among said plurality of beams having an upwardly opening T-receiving channel, each such channel having a lateral dimension, the lateral dimensions of said channels being greater than the lateral dimensions of said slots;
- and,
- (c) attaching means, the attaching means positioning each beam among the plurality of C-channel beams upon the lower surface of the sheet so that each of said beams' upwardly opening T-receiving channels underlies one of said post receiving slots.

A T-flange engaging load bearing bed comprising:
- (a) a sheet having an upper load bearing surface and a lower surface, the sheet having a first plurality of substantially parallel post receiving slots, each slot among said plurality of slots having a lateral dimension, the sheet further having a second plurality of substantially parallel post receiving slots, each slot among said plurality of slots having a lateral dimension, the first and second pluralities of slots being substantially perpendicular to each other;
- (b) a plurality of C-channel beams, each beam among said plurality of beams having an upwardly opening T-receiving channel, each such channel having a lateral dimension, the lateral dimensions of said channels being greater than the lateral dimensions of said slots;
- and,
- (c) attaching means, the attaching means positioning each beam among the plurality of C-channel beams upon the lower surface of the sheet so that each of said beam's upwardly opening T-receiving channel underlies one of the slots among the first and second pluralities of post receiving slots.
