Abstract

The invention relates to a hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab made from concrete having reinforcements and conical hollow bodies ( 1 ) the cross-section of which is essentially round, oval or more than quadrilateral, wherein hollow bodies ( 1 ) are arranged between an upper and a lower reinforcement layer ( 15, 16 ) at least in sections essentially in the most compact configuration possible, wherein the areas between the upper and the lower reinforcement layers ( 15, 16 ) may be provided without hollow bodies ( 1 ). The object of the invention is to provide an improvement over conventional hollow body concrete floors. This object is solved in that spacers ( 8, 9 ) are arranged between upper reinforcement layer ( 15 ) and hollow bodies ( 1 ) on the one hand and between lower reinforcement layer ( 16 ) and hollow bodies ( 1 ) on the other hand, and that vertical reinforcements ( 17 ) are inserted in at least some of the interstitial spaces formed in each case by three adjacent hollow bodies ( 1 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab made from concrete having reinforcements and conical hollow bodies the cross-section of which is essentially round, oval or more than quadrilateral, wherein hollow bodies are arranged between an upper and a lower reinforcement layer at least in sections essentially in the most compact configuration possible, wherein areas between upper and lower reinforcement layer may be provided without hollow bodies, characterised in that spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) are arranged between upper reinforcement layer ( 15 ) and hollow bodies ( 1 ) on the one hand and between lower reinforcement layer ( 16 ) and hollow bodies ( 1 ) on the other hand, and that vertical reinforcements ( 17 ) are inserted in at least some of the interstitial spaces formed by three adjacent hollow bodies ( 1 ).  
     
     
         2 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to  claim 1 , characterised in that hollow bodies ( 1 ) and upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) are a single unit.  
     
     
         3 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to either of claims  1  or  2 , characterised in that the upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) are annular.  
     
     
         4 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  3 , characterised in that the upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) may be assembled from separate components.  
     
     
         5 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  4 , characterised in that means ( 11 ) are provided for attaching the upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) and/or the separate components.  
     
     
         6 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  5 , characterised in that the upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) and/or the separate components are secured to hollow body ( 1 ) by means of a clip mechanism ( 11 ).  
     
     
         7 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  6 , characterised in that double-headed anchors ( 17 ) are provided as vertical reinforcement.  
     
     
         8 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  7 , characterised in that hollow bodies ( 1 ) having varying average diameters are provided in the hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab.  
     
     
         9 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  8 , characterised in that hollow bodies ( 1 ) are made from plastic.  
     
     
         10 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  9 , characterised in that lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) are provided.  
     
     
         11 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to  claim 10 , characterised in that lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) and hollow bodies ( 1 ) are a single unit.  
     
     
         12 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to either of claims  10  or  11 , characterised in that lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) may be assembled from separate components.  
     
     
         13 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 10  to  12 , characterised in that means ( 11 ) are provided for attaching the lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) to hollow body ( 1 ).  
     
     
         14 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 10  to  13 , characterised in that the lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) are secured to hollow body ( 1 ) by means of a clip mechanism ( 11 ).  
     
     
         15 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 10  to  14 , characterised in that lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) are assembled from separate components.  
     
     
         16 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 10  to  15 , characterised in that lateral spacers ( 5 ,  7 ) and/or the upper and/or lower spacers ( 8 ,  9 ) are furnished with apertures ( 6 ) distributed about their entire circumference.  
     
     
         17 . The hollow body concrete floor or hollow body concrete slab according to any of  claims 1  to  16 , characterised in that at least some hollow bodies ( 1 ) are furnished with at least two lateral apertures ( 22 ) to allow gases to flow in and escape, and that at least two apertures each of different hollow bodies ( 1 ) are interconnected by pipes  23 ).
