Laying pavers on a subsurface in an outdoor environment

Abstract

In the context of creating permeable paving, a holder mat (1) is provided which is suitable to serve as an aid in laying pavers on a surface in an outdoor environment. The holder mat (1) consists of an alternating pattern of paver pickup units (2) and holes (3) between the paver pickup units (2), where the paver pickup units (2) are each designed to pick up a single paver and thereby surround the perimeter of a lower part of the paver. When the holder mat (1) is placed on the surface and the pavers are laid in it, an efficient open pattern of the pavers is immediately obtained. In a favorable design, the holder mat (1) is designed to be easily coupled to other holder mats (1), so that a continuous whole of holder mats (1) can be formed.

Description

Title: Laying pavers on a subsurface in an outdoor environment The invention generally relates to the placement of vowels on a surface in an outdoor environment. The invention has in particular refers to a retaining mat for placing pavers on a subbase in a outdoor environment, a composite holder mat comprising interconnected retaining mats, and a method for laying pavers on a sub-base in an outdoor environment. In the field of laying paving stones in streets, gardens, driveways, etc., is It is increasingly a trend to opt for so-called water-permeable paving. Water-permeable paving ensures that rainwater can spread more widely. are discharged and the sewage network is consequently less burdened. Overloading of the sewer network during prolonged and / or heavy rainfall can here- be avoided. Permeable paving can be realized in various ways seerd. In the first place, pavers can be laid in an open pattern where- spaces between the pavers can be left. Secondly, the pavers can Cherries are formed with one or more holes and / or may have indentations in the circumference. edge of the pavers have been applied. Thirdly, the pavers can come from a are made of porous material. The invention relates to the laying of pavers in an open pattern. In this context, one also speaks of paving with a water-permeable paving brick. connection. Thanks to the presence of gaps between the pavers, rainwater can drain easily run away into the ground. Grass or another soil- is often placed in the holes. cover planted, or semi-paving material such as gravel, shells or tree- bark applied. It is a goal of the invention to lay paving stones in an open pattern. to facilitate. To this end, the invention provides an aid in the form of a holder mat. In particular, the holder mat comprises an alternating pattern of vowel pickup units and gaps between the vowel pickup units, where the vowel pickup units are each configured to pick up a single vowel and thereby surrounding an outline of a lower part of the paver. A work- manner according to the invention comprises the following steps: providing the named the retaining mat, placing the retaining mat on the surface, and placing the vowels in the vowel pickup units of the holder mat, with a single vowel per vowel pickup unit. The holder mat therefore remains part of the ultimately realized screed paving. Under application of the holder mat according to the invention, it is very a- easy to achieve an open pattern of vowels. The pattern is already defined by the holder mat so that a person engaged in laying pavers- does not need to think about this. Once the holder mat is on the Given the subsoil, laying the pavers is self-explanatory. The only thing that the The person needs to do is place the pavers correctly on the holder mat, that is to say, in the vowel pickup units. The dimensions of the holder mat can be chosen such that they for suitable for accommodating various known types of clinker. Furthermore, the holder can mat as such have any arbitrarily suitable dimension in terms of rows and columns of clinker pickup units and gaps between the clinker pickup units units. For example, the holder mat can have at least two rows and at least two columns. alternating paver pickups with each other in both direction of travel and column direction include units and gaps between the vowel pickup units. An effective water-permeable pattern of pavers is obtained when the design of the holder mat is aimed at not the paving stone pickup units to make up more than 60% of the surface area of ​​the holder mat. In a practical implementation, the holder mat includes a bottom section. and a pattern of upright walls on the base. A height dimension of the vertical walls can then be smaller than a height dimension of the to be use paving stones. The pattern of upright walls on the base section can be based on are designed in different ways. For example, it is possible that this pattern of rectangular wall units comprises with two short upright walls and two long upright walls. In that case, the upright walls of the wall units connect to each other and form an integral whole. The clinker- pickup units can then be located outside the wall units and therefore are delineated by various wall units. Realizing the pattern of vertical walls by means of rectangular wall units that spaces covering the space between the vowel pickup units is an efficient way to the vowel- to delineate recording units with a minimum number of separate uprights walls. It is not necessary that the bottom section at the location of the paving stone recording units is completely enclosed. Instead, it may actually be beneficial if at least a gap at the location of the respective clinker pickup units located in the bottom section of the holder mat. This allows water that is underneath to drain away. placed pavers flows or that in the case of porous pavers eventually the pavers exits at the bottom thereof, be discharged into the subsoil. A further favorable possibility is that the holder mat coupling areas surround drum provided on a perimeter edge of the holder mat, which coupling areas are configured to link the holder mat to other holder mats to enable the formation of a composite holder mat. In this way, the desired open pattern of pavers easily on any surface of any arbitrary sizes are realized. Providing the holder mat in a fixed dimensions combined with the possibility to connect holder mats brings a high degree of convenience and flexibility in the application of the holder mat with it. For the purpose of connecting to other holder mats, the holder mat can are shaped at the perimeter edge in a randomly suitable manner. In the upper- mentioned case where the holder mat has a bottom section and a pattern of rising- encompassing the walls on the bottom section, it is possible, for example, that the holder- mat includes coupling areas that define a recess for receiving from above of an upright wall at the perimeter edge of another to be connected holder mat. In addition, it is possible that the holder mat includes further coupling areas. which encloses a slot in an upright wall at the perimeter edge of the retaining mat- ten. This facilitates the insertion of the upright wall into a recess as named. In view of the foregoing, connecting holder mats to each other is to a composite holder mat a further possible step in the procedure according to the invention. It is possible to first form a composite holder mat and to then place this on the surface, but it is also possible the one holder mat to connect to the other while one of the holder mats is already lying on the ground. The pavers can be placed on a holder mat as soon as they are on the under- ground has been placed. Work involving the placement of retaining mats and in the The retaining mats can be placed and the pavers can be installed consecutively or alternately, as desired. be carried out. In a favorable embodiment, the holder mat is formed as a single inter- gable entirely of plastic. The holder mat is then at favorable costs and in mass- to manufacture production. After the retaining mat has been placed on the subfloor and the pavers are in it once installed, the spaces located between the pavers can be woven as desired. filled in, for example with semi-paving material. The mentioned and other aspects, characteristics and benefits of the invention will be further clarified by the following description, whereby ver- reference will be made to the drawing, in which equal reference numbers equal or diver- indicate similar parts, and in which: Figures 1 and 2 show different perspective views of a holder mat. according to an embodiment of the invention; Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a composite holder mat that comprises a number of interconnected holder mats; and Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the composite holder mat with paving stones placed therein. Figures 1 and 2 show a holder mat 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The holder mat 1 is intended to be used for laying paving stones on a surface in an outdoor environment. Basic aspects of the holder mat 1 are that the holder mat 1 an alternating pattern of vowel pickup units 2 and includes gaps 3 between the vowel pickup units 2, and that the vowel pickup- Units of 2 each are designed to accommodate a single vowel and thereby a re- to surround the curve of a lower part of the vowel. In the current example comprises the holder mat 1 two columns k and eight rows r of clinker pickup units 2 and holes 3. The holder mat 1 is designed along one of its perimeter edges to connect to other holder mats 1 to be coupled. To illustrate this fact, Figure 3 shows a composite holder mat 4 shown that has an arbitrary number of six comprises interconnected holder mats 1. The number of holder mats 1 can be freely chosen, and as many holder mats 1 can be applied as needed to to cover a certain surface area of ​​substrate. Figure 4 shows how the composite holder mat 4 is filled with pavers 5. It is clearly visible that there location of the holes 3 in the retaining mats 1 spaces 6 between the pavers 5 are located. This has resulted in a configuration in which, at the time of precipitation, like rain the precipitation through the spaces 6 between the pavers 5 and the holes 3 in the retaining mats 1 between the paver pickup units 2 in the subsoil can be removed walk. Figure 4 shows vowels 5 that fit exactly into the vowel reception units 2 fit. That does not alter the fact that it is also possible that the holder mats 1 for clay- Five clinkers are used. In the current example, the holder mat 1 is made of plastic and includes a bottom section 7 and a pattern of upright walls on the bottom section 7. In particular, the pattern of upright walls on the bottom section comprises rectangular wall units 8 with two short upright walls 9 and two long vertical walls 10, where the vertical walls 9, 10 of the wall units 8 connect to each other and form an integral whole. In this design of the holder- mat 1 the vowel pickup units 2 are located outside the wall units 8. Ter at the location of the clinker pickup units 2 there is a hole 11 in the bottom- part 7 of the holder mat 1, which, like the holes 3 between the paving stone pickup units 2 has a function in allowing water to pass through to the subsurface. The possibility of connecting holder mats 1 to a Composite holder mat 4 can be realized in various ways. In the The current example is holder mat 1, provided with two on its perimeter edge. different types of coupling areas 12, 13, where a first type of coupling area 12 defines a recess 14 defines, and for that purpose a specially formed upright has element 15 with outer locking element 16, and a second type of coupling area 13 defines a slot 17 in an upright wall 9, 10. During the joining together peeling of retaining mats 1, the upright walls become 9, 10 with the slot therein 17 of the second type coupling area 13 of the one holder mat 1 from above into the recess 14 of the first type coupling area 12 of the other holder mat 1 down- left. In doing so, one holder mat 1 is placed at the location of trench 17 in the second type coupling area 13 of the one holder mat 1 behind respective outer opening locking elements 16 of the first type coupling area 12 of the other holder mat 1 crocheted. With the holder mat 1, a simple tool is available for realizing water-permeable paving provided. By using holder mat 1, it is ex- No measuring or fitting necessary to place the 5 vowels in a regular open pattern can lay.
