In the present embodiment, in order to enable each of the plates 20
to be fixed on the substrate 30 more effectively, an edge of each of the
plates 20 has formed thereon a cover region 21 covering over the
support arms 35 and the support portions 36, and the cover regions 21
have a thickness less than a thickness of each of the plates 20.
Accordingly, when the plates 20 are respectively provided on each of the
first regions 31 and each of the second regions 32, each of the plates 20
can be fixed on each of the first regions 31 and each of the second
regions 32 by using the aforesaid fastening element, and the cover
regions 21 of each of the plates 20 can cover over the support arms 35
and the support portions 36, thereby completely shielding the substrate
30.
FIGs. 7 and 8 show a third embodiment of the substrate; in the
present embodiment, the first region 41 and the second region 42 of the
substrate 40 form the segment difference 43 on one side in the second
direction Y, and another side forms a linear arrangement. Accordingly,
when the substrates 30 and 40 of the present invention are provided on
an indoor floor, decent finishing effects can be achieved in the first
direction X as well as in the second direction Y. Each of the plates 20 is
enabled to present an effect of mutually crossed arrangements at the
17
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

same time, so as to enhance aesthetics of the raised floor.
As shown in FIGs. 8 to 12, the substrates of the second and the third
embodiments of the present invention can be used to provide a raised
floor 50 provided on an indoor floor; the raised floor 50 can be consisted
of, according to an area of the indoor floor, a plurality of aforesaid
substrates 30 and 40, a plurality of plates 20 carried on the substrates 30
and 40, a plurality of support stands 60 for supporting the substrates 30
and 40, and a plurality of panels 70.
In the present embodiment, structural relationships between the
substrates 30, the plates carried on the substrates, one of support
stands 60 and two of panels 70 therein are used for illustration,
wherein the support stand 60 is consisted of a rectangular frame 61 for
mounting the aforesaid substrate 30, four mount fixing plates 62
respectively provided on each end corner of the rectangular frame 61,
and four stands 63 for supporting on the indoor floor; each of the mount
fixing plates 62 is mounted on one of the stands 63, and each of the
stands 63 is capable of adjusting a height thereof independently (which
is a prior art and will not be further described here), so as to adjust a
height of each of the mount fixing plates 62. The rectangular frame 61 is
consisted of two mutually interspaced horizontal bars 611 and two
18
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

mutually interspaced straight bars 612 perpendicularly provided to the
two horizontal bars 611, and each of the mount fixing plates 62 is
respectively connected to one end between one of the straight bars 612
and one of the horizontal bars 611, in which the straight bars 612 and the
horizontal bars 611 are mutually and perpendicularly provided on the
mount fixing plates 62, such that the two horizontal bars 611 and the two
straight bars 612 form the rectangular frame 61 for mounting the
substrate 30 thereon, and for enabling the plates 20 to be respectively
mounted on the two first regions 31 and the two second regions 32. It
should be noted that when each of the straight bars 612 and each of the
horizontal bars 611 are mounted on each of the mount fixing plates 62,
the straight bars 612, the horizontal bars 611 and the mount fixing plates
62 are effectively assembled by means of fastening (which is a prior art
and not shown in the drawings, and will not be explained here) via
fastening elements. Each of the panels 70 is covered on each of the
straight bars 612 and each of the panels 70 has a positioning portion 71
covering on the straight bar 612 and having a reversed U-shape, and a
garnish strip portion 72 protruding from the positioning portion 71, in
which a drop is formed between the garnish strip portion 72 and the
positioning portion 71, and one of the garnish strip portions 72 is located
19
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

on an edge of the first region 31 away from the second region 32 and is
adjacent to the first region 31, another of the garnish strip portions 72 is
located on an edge of the second region 32 away from the first region 31
and is adjacent to the second region 32, and the two garnish strip
portions 72 and the two plates 20 are on the same plane.
Furthermore, the mount fixing plate 62 is consisted of a central
support portion 621 and two lateral support portions 622 respectively
located on two corresponding sides of the central support portion 621,
one end of the straight bar 612 is fixed on the central support portion 621,
and one end of the horizontal bar 611 is fixed on the lateral support
portion 622. In addition, each of the lateral support portions 622 is further
concavely provided with an accommodation groove 623, so as to enable
one end of the horizontal bar 611 to be accommodated in the
accommodation groove 623, such that a height of the straight bar 612 on
the mount fixing plate 62 is taller than a height of the horizontal bar 611.
Therefore, when the raised floor 50 having a greater area is formed
by using the plurality of support stands 60, the plurality of panels 70, the
plurality of substrates 30 and 40 and the plurality of plates 20, a top
surface of the garnish strip portion 72 is exposed between the substrates
30 and 40 which are mutually adjacent and extended along the first
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

direction X, such that the top surface of the garnish strip portion 72 is
held between the two adjacent substrates 30 and 40, thereby enabling
the overall raised floor 50 to present an effect of alternate arrangements
by means of the plates 20, and to present different visual effects by
means of the garnish strip portion 72.
FIGs. 13 to 19 show a fourth embodiment of the substrate 80; in the
present embodiment, the substrate 80 have positions of upper and lower
end corners on edges where the first region 81 and the second region 82
are not mutually joined being respectively and outwardly extended to
form positioning plates 89, and each of the positioning plates 89 is not
mutually connected to the support arms 85 protrudingly extended from
an edge between the first region 81 and the second region 82.
Regarding the substrate 80 in the aforesaid fourth embodiment, the
present invention further provides a type of raised floor which is
consisted of the plurality of substrates 80, the plurality of plates 20
provided on the substrates 80, the plurality of support stands 60, and a
plurality of panel sets 90. In the present embodiment, the substrates 80,
the plates 20 and the support stands 60 are identical to the aforesaid
structures (see the description of FIGs. 8 to 12), and will not be further
described here. Each of the panel sets 90 is respectively consisted of a
21
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

lower panel 91 covering on each of the straight bars 612 and an upper
panel 92 covering above the lower panel 91, wherein the lower panel 91
has a cover portion 911 covering above the straight bar 612 and a
limiting portion 912 upwardly extended from the cover portion 911, the
limiting portion 912 is upwardly protruded from the cover portion 911 and
has a limiting groove 913 downwardly and concavely provided on a top
surface, and the limiting groove 913 is extended along an extending
direction of the straight bar 612 covered thereby. The upper panel 92 is
covered on and envelopes the limiting portion 912, and a limiting bar 921
capable of being inserted into the limiting groove 913 is further provided
in a position inside the upper panel 92 corresponding to the limiting
groove 913.
Therefore, when each of the lower panels 91 is covered above each
of the straight bars 612, each of the lower panels 91 can be used to
mutually interspace the two adjacent substrates 80 along the first
direction X by using the limiting portion 912, and enable an edge of each
of the substrates 80 from the two adjacent substrates 80 along the first
direction X to be separately pressed against the cover portion 911, and
further cover the upper panel 92 on the limiting portion 912 while also
enable the limiting bar 921 to be inserted into the limiting groove 913,
22
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

thereby preventing the upper panel 92 from being deviated on the lower
panel 91, thus enabling the upper panel 92 to be effectively positioned
on the lower panel 91.
The two adjacent substrates 80 along the second direction Y are
mutually and tightly provided, such that the positioning plates 89 located
in the end corners of the two substrates 80 adjacently provided in the
second direction Y are mutually and adjacently provided to and pressed
against one of the straight bars 612. In order to enable the substrates 80
mounted on the support stand 60 to be fixed more stably, a movable
fixing plate 613 is further provided in a position on the straight bar 612
adjacent to the two positioning plates 89, in which the movable fixing
plate 613 is pivotally provided on the straight bar 612 by using a
fastening element 614.
After mounting the two substrates 80 adjacently provided in the
second direction Y on the support stand 60, by rotating a direction of the
movable fixing plate 613 and enabling the same to form a pressing
position pressing on the two adjacent positioning plates 89, the movable
fixing plate 613 is enabled to be pressed on the two adjacent positioning
plates 89 at the same time, and then the fastening element 614 is
rotated to enable the movable fixing plate 613 to be securely fastened on
23
CA 3047736 2019-06-21

the straight bar 612. Accordingly, the substrates 80 can be effectively
fixed on the straight bar 612, thereby preventing gaps from being
generated between the substrates 80 and the straight bars 612, and
effectively reducing noises. At the same time, by covering the panel sets
90 above the movable fixing plates 613, the movable fixing plates 613
can be shielded and different visual effects can be formed on the raised
floor by the panel sets 90.
As shown in FIGs. 1 to19, in comparison to the prior art, the
substrates 10, 30, 40 and 80 and the raised floor 50 provided in the
present invention is capable of enabling the plates 20 mounted on the
substrates 10, 30, 40 and 80 to present crossed patterns particular to
wooden floors or marble floors, as well as enhancing variations and
aesthetics in applications of the overall raised floor 50. Further, when the
substrates 10, 30, 40 and 80 of the present invention are applied to the
support stands 60, apart from being lifted and increasing a space, the
effects of noise insulation and moisture resistance are also provided,
and the substrates can be conveniently lifted up on the support stands
60, so as to enable cleaning of the substrates 10, 30, 40 and 80 and the
plates 20 and performing wiring layouts. In addition, the plates 20 can be
taken off the substrates 10, 30, 40 and 80 and independently replaced,

thereby significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing
maintenance costs.
The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred
embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest
interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
