A supporting element for cylindrical or column-shaped elements of modular elements for making raised and/or ventilated floors, includes a substantially plane base configured to be rested on the underlying floor, two or more lateral extensions arranged at sides of the plane base and coplanar with the plane base, coupling elements arranged on the portions of said lateral extensions that are far from the plane base. The supporting element includes a first series of projections arranged along a circle centered on the plane base, defining a seat in which a lower end of the cylindrical or column-shaped elements is inserted and housed, and wherein the projections of the first series are configured to adhere to the surface of the cylindrical or column-shaped element housed in the seat.

An overhanging element comprising a basis provided for being applied on a surface raising pedestal, which basis is provided with a window which extend in a longitudinal manner in the basis, said window being dimensioned such that a wing which is part of an insert part applied on the pedestal can cross it and thus guide a translatory movement of the overhanging element with respect to the pedestal on which it is applied, which basis comprises at a first longitudinal end a stop member which extend substantially perpendicular with respect to the basis and which is is formed by at least one flap provided with a notch which extends over the height of the flap, the notch having a depth such as to enable a bending and/or a removal of a section of the flap situated between the notch and a distal end of the flap.

The invention relates to a paver supporting apparatus. The paver supporting apparatus has a pedestal with a top plate. A modular grid is positioned on the top plate and has a ballast receiving opening and a ballast is located in the ballast receiving opening.

A deck ledger board spacer system that includes a solid disc body having a front side and a rear side, a center hole, and a plurality of circumferential through holes surrounding the center hole. The center hole includes at least one radially-extending void that serves as a female element for a complementary keyed bushing. Each of the front and rear sides have a plurality of wells recessed from the disc body surface, the wells configured to receive a volume of flowable adhesive sealant material during spacer installation. One or more swappable keyed bushings are sized for insertion in the center hole, each of the keyed bushings having a male element complementary to the radially-extending void and having a bushing through hole with a diameter different from other keyed bushings in a plurality of keyed bushings.

A paver supporting apparatus is provided and includes a pedestal and a modular grid. The pedestal includes a top plate with a plate extender and a plurality of male lock pins positioned around a circumference of the top plate. The modular grid is positioned and secured on the top plate such that the top plate supports the modular grid in an elevated position and connects with one of the plurality of male lock pins. The modular grid includes a lattice extending generally between perimeter edges of the modular grid and defining a plurality of lattice.

Some deck or patio areas constructed of pavers mounted on adjustable pedestal supports must remain snow and ice free on their top surfaces. The pedestal-mounted paver heating system is designed to allow easy installation of electric heating cable that is positioned against the bottom surface of pavers so that heat generated by the cable is efficiently transferred up into the pavers to raise their temperature enough to prevent the accumulation of snow and ice on their top surfaces.

A head for supports of raised floors includes a support body having an upper surface shaped as a cavity partially counter-shaped to receive a spherical cap; a protrusion emerging from the upper surface of the support body and having a threaded side wall; a tilting element having in its upper part a flat surface for supporting building elements and in its lower part a portion partially shaped like a spherical cap configured to be laid on the support body, the tilting element having a through hole configured to receive the protrusion; and a ring nut having an inner surface and an outer lateral surface, the inner surface being threaded to mesh with the threaded portion of the side walls of the protrusion, the outer lateral surface being shaped to abut against the inner surface of the through hole in the tilting element.

A support for raised floors includes a base and a head coupled to the base, the head having a support body and a tilting element laid on the support body, the tilting element having a plate-shaped portion with an upper surface that is partially flat for supporting a building elements, protrusions emerging from a circular crown of the lower surface of the plate-shaped portion to create a profile shaped as a spherical cap ring, the outer edge of the circular crown being near the outer perimeter of the plate-shaped portion, the support body having an upper surface defining a cavity that is counter-shaped to the spherical cap ring at the protrusions emerging from the tilting element.

Disclosed is a sensor floor tile that utilizes a RF frequency transmissive disk that transmits sensor data from sensors located in a plenum of a raised floor system. An antenna is located adjacent to the disk so that sensor signals can be transmitted from the sensor located in the plenum under the floor tile to a wireless receiver located in an elevated location in a data center room, a computer room, a clean room, an office space, etc. A network connection can also be provided by the antenna when the antenna is connected to a router in the plenum.
