Embodiment Construction

[0022] Like parts have the same number throughout the figures.

[0023] One embodiment of the pedestal 2 is generally illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The pedestal 2 generally supports the corners 4 of the floor panels 6. Although the figures illustrate the corner 4 of one floor panel 6 the pedestal 2 will support four adjacent corners 4 of four panels 6 in a completed floor system.

[0024] The pedestal 2 generally consists of a base 8, a support or flange 10 and displaceable means 12. The support or flange 10 is adapted to support the lower edge 14 of the panel 6.

[0025] The displaceable means 12 generally consists of a first threaded member 16 and a second threaded member 18 engageable with the first threaded member 16 for selectively displacing the support 10 relative the base 8.

[0026] More particularly, the first threaded member 16 has one end 20 fixedly rotatable to the base 8. At the bottom of the first threaded member 16 there is a groove 22 that permits the base 8 to engage an...

Abstract

A pedestal adapted to support a floor panel comprising a base, support means for supporting said floor panel above said base, displaceable means operable between said base and said support means for selectively displacing said support means and said floor panel relative said base so as to level said floor panel while said floor panel is supported by said support means.

Description

[0001] This application is a division of Ser. No. 10 / 617,112 filed Jul. 11, 2003.FIELD OF INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to pedestals adapted to support a floor panel, and particularly relates to pedestals for supporting the corners of adjacent floor panels to level the floor panels while said floor panels are supported by the pedestals. More specifically, the invention relates to pedestals permitting height adjustment of the floor panels by tools accessed from above the floor panels. This invention also relates to the method of levelling floor panels by tools capable of adjusting the height and level of pedestals from above the floor panels. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Elevated floor structures have gained much prominence with the advent of computer systems. Such elevated floor structures consists of floors constructed by arranging generally rectangular panels in side-by-side or adjacent fashion into a rectangular array. Generally speaking such panels are supported ...
