Floor system

A floor system comprising:

• a plurality of panels, a pair of adjacent panels having one or more side cut-outs, wherein the side cut-out of adjacent panels defines one or more access apertures;
• a plurality of access covers for covering the access apertures and providing an interface for accessing utilities;
• one or more utility junctions for delivering utilities to the access apertures;
• a plurality of frame members comprising a plurality of cojoined arms that are cross-shaped and at least partially symmetric and horizontally spanning a panel support area, the frame members combining to form a framework for supporting the panels, the access covers and the utility junctions;
• and
• a plurality of supports for supporting the frame members in one or more generally horizontal planes above a sub-floor;
• wherein at least one frame member attaches to at least three supports not co-linear and provides a central support so that a load can be distributed across the framework.

• one or more utility junctions for delivering utilities to the access apertures;
• a plurality of frame members combining to form a framework for supporting the panels, the access covers and the utility junctions;
• and
• a plurality of supports comprising a height-adjustable stanchion that supports a track having one or more cut-outs for releasably receiving and supporting one or more frame members. in one or more generally horizontal planes above a sub-floor;
• wherein at least one frame member attaches to at least three supports not co-linear and provides a central support so that a load can be distributed across the framework;
• and
• wherein the track has an interior cavity providing a passageway for routing or distributing utility carriers.

A floor system configured for providing a raised floor above a sub-floor in a work environment, comprising:

• a plurality of pedestals;
• a plurality of X-shaped frame members configured to be supported on the pedestals;
• a plurality of panels, a pair of adjacent panels having side cutouts arranged so that the side cutouts are in alignment when the panels are installed on the pedestals to form an access opening from the combination of the side cutouts;
• an access cover configured to fit over the access opening formed from the combination of side cutouts;
• and
• a track configured to rest upon the pedestals and to provide a passage for a utility carrier.
