Abstract
A modular raised access floor panel includes a frame, a first edge member, a second edge member, and a center member. The first edge member has a first floor surface. The second edge member is disposed substantially perpendicular to the first edge member and has a second floor surface. The first center member is disposed adjacent to the first edge member and has a third floor surface. When the floor panel is assembled, the first floor surface, the second floor surface, and the third floor surface are disposed substantially within the same plane.
Claims21
A modular raised access floor panel comprising:
- a frame, comprising:
- a first extruded edge member having a first floor surface;
- and
- a second extruded edge member disposed substantially perpendicular to the first extruded edge member and having a second floor surface;
- a first die-cast center member disposed adjacent to the first extruded edge member and having a third floor surface;
- and
- wherein the first floor surface, the second floor surface, and the third floor surface are disposed substantially within the same plane.
A modular raised access floor panel comprising:
- a first edge member comprising a cavity and a support ledge;
- a second edge member disposed substantially perpendicular to the first edge member, comprising a cavity and a support ledge;
- a first center member disposed adjacent to the first edge member and having a third floor surface, the first center member comprising a plurality of apertures;
- a second center member disposed adjacent to the first edge member and having a fourth floor surface, the second center member comprising a plurality of apertures;
- a cross member positioned between the first center member and the second center member and having a fifth floor surface, the cross member comprising a plurality of support ledges;
- wherein the first floor surface, the second floor surface, the third floor surface, the fourth floor surface, and the fifth floor surface are disposed substantially within the same plane;
- wherein the first center member rests on the support ledge of the first edge member, the support ledge of the second edge member, and at least one of the plurality of support ledges of the cross member;
- and
- wherein the second center member rests on the support ledge of the first edge member and at least one of the plurality of support ledges of the cross member.
A modular raised access floor assembly comprising:
- a plurality of modular raised access floor panels each comprising:
- a plurality of edge members, the plurality of edge members comprising a first floor surface, a cavity, and a support ledge;
- a center member disposed adjacent to at least one of the plurality of edge members having a second floor surface, the center member comprising a plurality of apertures;
- a plurality of corner members comprising a third floor surface, a first ear, and a second ear;
- wherein the center member rests on at least one of the support ledges of the plurality of edge members;
- and
- wherein the first ear of at least one of the plurality of corner members press-fits into the cavity of one of the edge members and the second ear of that corner member press-fits into the cavity of another edge member;
- wherein the first floor surfaces, the second floor surface, and the third floor surfaces are disposed substantially within the same plane;
- and
- wherein at least two of the plurality of corner members are connected.
