Floating Floor Structure

Abstract

Floating floor structure, comprising bearing pillars ( 1 ) with a revolving ball ( 3 ) constrained in the head ( 2 ), projecting on the floor surface ( 10 ), supported by a grid of crosspieces ( 7 ) suspended between the bearing pillars ( 1 ) and made up of material suitable to prevent the generation of sparks due to friction or impact and avoid the accumulation of electrostatic energy, the entirety being used for making floors particularly for rooms intended for storing explosives, ammunitions, arms and the like, such a manner that the pallets of the respective support may be easily translated and moved manually on the floating floor rolling on the heads of the pillars in a safe manner.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 .- 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A floating floor structure comprising:
 a plurality of load bearing pillars; and   a plurality of crosspieces supporting the load bearing pillars for mutual joining of the load bearing pillars, each of the crosspieces being provided with a ball constrained in a head of one of the load bearing pillars, the ball being a revolving ball caged in the head such that a cap of the ball projects over the head and from an upper surface of the floating floor.   
     
     
         13 . The floating floor structure of  claim 12 , wherein the floating floor comprises modular elements shaped as panels, the modular elements being arranged coplanarly and having bearing spaces that enable projection of the revolving balls. 
     
     
         14 . The floating floor structure of  claim 12 , wherein the balls and the modular elements comprise a material preventing spark generation under friction or impact and accumulation of electrostatic energy. 
     
     
         15 . The floating floor structure of  claim 12 , wherein each of the load bearing pillars is laterally provided with four radial projections disposed orthogonally, to which the crosspieces are fixed such to form a square-meshed orthogonal grid. 
     
     
         16 . The floating floor structure of  claim 15 , wherein pairs of the crosspieces having a same length are apically coupled to the radial projections through screws passing through openings in the radial projections. 
     
     
         17 . The floating floor structure of  claim 12 , wherein each of the load bearing pillars is supported by a foot adjustably coupled to the corresponding load bearing pillar with a screw stem.
