AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a way to connect two parts called a base arrangement and an aligning formation. The design includes locking formations that make it easy to lock the parts in place, and if needed, remove evidence of the alignment using a settable material that can be broken off. The technical effect is a more precise and easily adjustable alignment for setting the parts in place.

Problems solved by technology

This method of testing the floor level is not accurate, and an inaccurately poured floor may result in the finished product being defective and requiring costly repairs.
Also, while the workman moves around the floor, this may disturb the poured settable material, resulting in ripples and an imperfect floor.
Similar problems may be encountered when shotcreting settable material such as cement onto walls.
This adds weight to a construction, and requires additional costly manpower and floor levelling compound such as compounds sold under the trade name Ardit™.

embodiments

[0112]Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but may. Furthermore, the particular features, structures or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art from this disclosure, in one or more embodiments.

[0113]Similarly it should be appreciated that in the above description of example embodiments of the invention, various features of the invention are sometimes grouped together in a single embodiment, figure, or description thereof for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure and aiding in the understanding of one or more of the vario...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a settable material aligning arrangement that allows for settable material to be aligned to a desired level before the settable material sets. It can be used for ensuring that a poured concrete floor or shotcreted wall is levelled accurately. The settable material aligning arrangement is fixed to a support base and includes a base arrangement and an aligning formation that can be fixed at varying distances from each other by a coupling arrangement.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a settable material aligning arrangement and method therefor.[0002]The invention has been developed primarily for use in the construction of concrete floors and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Currently when floors are poured from settable material such as cement, concrete, grout or the like, a laser level, automatic level or similar, is provided that sets the level of the floor at a datum distance from the floor. As the settable material is poured, a workman moves around the floor, using a tape measure to measure the requisite distance downwardly of the laser level, to ensure that the settable material has reached the required height.[0004]This method of testing the floor level is not accurate, and an inaccurately poured floor may result in the finished produc...
