Raised access flooring system

摘要

A raised access flooring system is disclosed, which comprises a raised access flooring system module comprising a space frame web which is supported by adjustable pedestals, wherein the space frame web comprises a plurality of elongate structural members and a grid. A flooring member is fixedly attached to the web. The pedestals may be positioned under the grid. Some of the elongate structural members forming the web are inclined to the flooring member while those close to the edges of the web are more vertically oriented. This space frame arrangement economizes material usage and reduces cost compared to conventional modules. The module is so configured that it can be emplaced as a member of a flooring system, and is easily removable and interchangeable. In addition, because of the more efficient weight distribution afforded by the space frame design, portions of the web may be removed to accommodate electrical boxes without comprising the strength of the module to the degree such removal would compromise prior art modules utilizing ribs or post and beam construction.
