(54)	Sectional modular elements for making non-permanent floors

(57) Modules for making provisional floors or platforms are based on a groove and tongue assembling arrangement that permits a longitudinal or transverse or mixed laying with an exact symmetry of the inserting points.
In general, the present modules are obtained by molding plastic materials or the like and comprise a base element (1) which shows an essentially rectangular shape having a certain height and is hollow inside and open to the lower side.
Grooves (2) are arranged two by two along the four perimetric edges. The grooves of two adjacent sides are flanged with particular tongue projections (3) which are arranged around the grooves like a flange. The tongue projections (3) mate with the grooves (2) of an adjacent module.
