A raised flooring system and methods of forming components of such a system are disclosed. Systems consistent with embodiments of the present invention utilize thin sheet metal, typically galvanized steel, base plates (14) laid side by side on an existing floor. Attached in a rectilinear pattern to the base plates (14) are stand- offs (18), which support floor panels forming the raised or false floor (which in turn are typically covered with carpet tile). In addition to supporting the floor panels, the stand-offs (18) form a network of channels where conduit, cables, hoses, pipe and similar materials can be routed. The stand-offs (18) are punched and then formed from thin sheet metal, also typically galvanized steel, and have an overall shape generally that of a truncated cone achieved with four arms that have rolled edges for enhanced load- bearing capacity.

Système de plancher surélevé et procédés de formation de ses composants. Les systèmes correspondant aux formes de réalisation de l'invention utilisent des plaques de base (14) en tôle mince, habituellement en acier galvanisé, disposées côte à côte sur un plancher existant. Des pièces d'écartement (18) fixées selon un dessin rectiligne aux plaques de base (14) soutiennent les panneaux de plancher (qui sont habituellement recouverts à leur tour de dalles de moquette) pour former un plancher surélevé ou faux plancher. Outre le soutien des panneaux de plancher, les pièces d'écartement (18) forment un réseau de canaux dans lesquels des conduites, des câbles, des tuyaux, des tubulures ou des équipements similaires peuvent passer. Les pièces d'écartement (18) sont découpées à l'emporte-pièce puis formée dans de la tôle mince, habituellement de l'acier galvanisé ici aussi, et leur forme générale est celle d'un cône tronqué terminé par quatre bras dont les bords sont laminés afin d'améliorer leur capacité sous charge.
