A combined floor pedestal and floor outlets which include a base drum and a support drum interconnected by an adjustment sleeve member which is sleeved around and threadedly connected to the base drum and a support drum. The support drum has a top annular bearing face with grooves and projections to support and engage with floor rails and receives a plug body which has sockets mounted thereon to be used for electrical connection on the floor. The support drum is also provided with sockets means connected to the sockets of the plug. The assembly is convenient for making height adjustments as well as electrical connection.
This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 889,508 filed on July 25, 1986 which is abandoned and which is a continuation-in-part applicatin of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 752,569 filed on Aug. 7, 1985 which is abandoned.
An adjustable support piece is provided which can selectively raise or lower the level of a building surface or industrial component such as a mechanical pump, etc. A base member, crown member, and threaded tubular stem which can be cut with a hand saw are provided and which can be selectively adjusted in height to raise or lower the height of the building surface. In one embodiment, a coupling may be used to interconnect two tubular stems together. Further, a crown coupling spacer may be used to moderately increase the total length of the adjustable support piece.
The present invention relates to a double flooring structure which may be used to constitute the floor of a computer room or the like in a building. The double flooring structure has excellent constructibility, high earthquake resistance, a wide underfloor space and excellent resistant to deformation under load. The double flooring structure of the present invention comprises bases secured to a floor surface, columnar leg members pivotally standing on the bases, respectively, stringers each stretched between a pair of adjacent columnar leg members, floor panels supported on the stringers, and fastening means for securing the floor panels to the columnar leg members. The pivot point of each columnar leg member is disposed near the floor surface. When the floor panels are secured to the columnar leg members by the fastening means, the columnar leg members, the stringers and the floor panels constitute in combination one rigid body. Accordingly, a load which is applied to each floor panel is dispersed effectively and efficiently. If a lateral load is applied to the double flooring structure of the present invention, the columnar leg members are urged to pivot. However, since the pivot point of each columnar leg member is disposed near the floor surface, it is possible to minimize the bending moment that acts on that portion of each base which is bonded to the floor surface.
This invention is directed to a flooring system especially designed for facilities which house data processing equipment such as data processing centers, computer rooms and offices having a false floor raised above an existing floor. This false floor is comprised of removable panels laid side-by-side upon raised support members forming channels through which cables, hoses, wires and other computer interconnections can be routed.
The present invention is a device for supporting floor panels in which when the floor panels are clamped by a single-operation type panel retainer, a retaining member of a vertically swingable panel retainer support on a stud bolt is urged downwardly by the resilient force of a compression spring washer interposed between the upper surface of the retainer member and the lower surface of the head portion of the stud bolt for tightly securing the floor panels to the panel pedestal. The present invention further provides a structure for supporting floor panels in which a supporting post is swingably raised on the pedestal base plate, side walls of corners of the floor panels placed on the panel pedestal being matchingly engaged with a guide wall of the panel pedestal support and mating projections of said panel pedestal being closely fitted into mating holes formed by embedding resin holders in said floor panels, whereby the floor panels are tightly secured by a panel retainer to the panel pedester.
An adjustable column connector apparatus which provides for quick, easy and accurate installation of columns during building construction. The apparatus includes an inner connector member with a threaded socket, and an outer member with a corresponding threaded body which mates with the threaded socket. The inner connector member is attached to a column end by screws. The threaded body is engaged in the threaded socket, and the outer connector member is rotatably attached to an adjacent structure by a lag which slidably fits within a slot in the outer connector member. The outer connector member is rotated relative to the inner connector member to advance or retract the threaded body within the threaded socket and correspondingly draw down or push away the adjacent structure relative to the column end.
