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.

A support for raised floors including a base for resting on a lower surface, an element for connecting and adjusting the local height of a raised floor, and a resting head for one or more tiles of the raised floor. The connecting and adjustment element has a first portion for providing floors that are inclined with respect to the lower surface. The connecting and adjustment element further includes a second portion, which lies opposite the first portion, for providing floors that are parallel to the lower surface. The first portion and the second portion interacting alternately with the head by rotating the element through 180.

A floor jack may include a base, and a threaded pillar threadingly coupled to the base. The threaded pillar may include a dome top surface. The floor jack may also include a pedestal. the pedestal may include concave portion, and the concave portion may include a mating curvature relative to the dome top surface of the threaded pillar.

A pedestal assembly receivable on a support surface to support at least one flooring element over the support surface, the assembly comprising first and second members which are telescopically interengaged so as to be able to assume an extended state and a retracted state, whereby a height of the pedestal assembly is adjustable to set a spacing between the flooring element(s) and the support surface, the assembly including a locking mechanism operable in the extended state by way of relative rotation of the members such that the first and second members are locked in the extended state.

Disclosed is a support system for the construction of raised floors with a walking surface spaced apart from a base, a lower rotor resting on the base, and an upper rotor resting above the lower rotor. The lower rotor has a spiral profile on which an upper sloping plane is defined, and the upper rotor has a spiral element on which a lower sloping plane is defined. The upper sloping plane is leant on the lower sloping plane so that, when the upper rotor rotates relative to the lower rotor, the upper rotor is raised or lowered relative to the lower rotor depending on the direction of rotation.

A planting system having a plurality of potting trays that can be interconnected in a modular fashion to create a multitude of different configurations. Each potting tray has a plurality of holes operatively connected with a conduit through which plumbing can be incorporated into the planting system to water plants in the potting trays via the plurality of holes. A plurality of pedestals may be used to elevate the planting system. Lateral braces may be used to interconnect the plurality of pedestals.

A support (1) for raised floors comprising a base (2), an intermediate element (3) and a head (4) on which raised floor portions rest. The support (1) is of the universal type, namely it allows selectively both a tilting movement of the head (4) on the intermediate element (3), and only a rotation movement of the head (4) on the intermediate element (3) about an axis perpendicular to a plane on which the base (2) rests. The intermediate element (3) is centrally provided with a circular element (80) that comprises a circular neck (81) from which the teeth (8) protrude outwards. The support (1) further comprises an open ring (100) adapted to be reversibly coupled to the circular neck (81) under the teeth (8). (FIG. 8).

Pedestals for supporting pavers on a roof or other surface are provided. In some cases the pedestal has a cylindrical core, a base coupled to the cylindrical core and positioned to support the cylindrical core, and a support plate coupled to the cylindrical core and adapted to support at least one paver. In some cases, the pedestal includes an anchoring assembly having a collar positioned axially between the base and the support plate, and an arm extending radially outward from the collar and having a distal end adapted to be mounted to the roof or other surface at a location spaced apart from the cylindrical core. Also, in some cases a mounting member is provided that extends to and between a first location proximate the cylindrical core and a second location on the roof or other surface distal from the cylindrical core and the base. In some cases, top and bottom pads are used to receive a paver therebetween, wherein the top and/or bottom pads are adapted to rotate relative to the cylindrical core.
