Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for building up structures, particularly box-like structures such as houses, so-called shelters, containers etc. from panels comprising sandwich units having a stiff, heat-insulating core with outer laminae adhered or bonded thereto, the panels being intended for joining together with the aid of frame or side edge members (hereinafter called edge members).
  • edge members frame or side edge members
  • box-like structures so-called shelters
  • panels of the kind mentioned above wall panels being joined at right angles to each other, for the avoidance of thermal bridges, by glueing while utilizing coacting, mutually complemental stair-like rebates at the edge surfaces of the panels.
  • external and internal, glued-on, reinforcing and load-transferring angle and corner fittings are required external and internal, glued-on, reinforcing and load-transferring angle and corner fittings.
  • Interior partition walls are glued in place while utilizing externally mounted angle fittings at the joints.
  • these structures also have a number of disadvantages, such as requiring factory production, dimension changes becoming difficult due to the special implementation of the panel edge surfaces, e.g. making impossible simple sawing of panels to another size than the original manufactured size, and not being able to obtain entirely smooth structure surfaces due to the angle and corner fittings.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved system of the kind mentioned in the introduction, whereby the above-mentioned dis- advangages are removed simultaneously as a series of important advantages are gained, such as:-
  • panels are intended for coupling together with heat-insulating edge members which, at least on one side intended for coupling to a panel, are provided with two separated side flanges projecting out at right angles, and preferably continuous over the entire length of the member, the panels, at their edge surfaces intended for being coupled together with an edge member, being provided with recesses or grooves preferably over the entire length of the edge surface, intended for receiving the side flanges of the respective edge member.
  • the recesses or grooves are arranged in direct association with the insides of the outer laminae of the panels, and the distance between the outer side surfaces of the side flanges of the edge members corresponds to the distance between the inner sides of the outer laminae in the recesses or grooves.
  • the thickness of the side flanges is substantially equal to the width of the recesses or grooves.
  • the side flanges suitably project a distance substantially equal to the depths of the recesses or grooves (dependent Claim 7).
  • the edge members include right-angular quadrilateral tubes, the side flanges projecting out from at least one tube side.
  • the width of the tube on a side with flanges preferably is equal to the thickness of a connecting panel, so that entirely smooth surfaces are obtained in the assembled structure (dependent Claim 6). Both the quadrilateral tube and the side flanges attached thereto should have good stiffness.
  • the quadrilateral tube can to advantage be made from profile drawn or extruded, reinforced plastics, such as glass fiber-reinforced polyester, and has a filling or core of heat-insulating material, such as cellular or foamed plastics.
  • the panels may be conventionally built up with a core of heat-insulating material such as cellular plastics, preferably with closed cells and preferably with good inherent stiffness, stiff outer laminae being adhered or bonded to the cores, with the laminae to advantage made from reinforced plastics.
  • it may be suitable to allow at least one outer laminae to be made from, or clad with, electrically conductive material, e.g. aluminium sheeting or net, so that electrical screening effect is obtained.
  • the grooved edge surface of the panel should be cut straight, and the core material should go right up to the edge surface plane.
  • coupling a panel to an edge member in accordance with the above involves that the flanges of the edge member engage in the panel grooves, with the flanges in good load-transferring contact with the stiff outer laminae of the panel, and in appropriate cases also with the stiff core material. Since the dimensions of the grooves can be very well- adjusted to the dimensions of the flanges, it is not necessary in many cases to ensure the connection with the aid of glue or other extra measures.
  • an edge member in accordance with the invention may constitute a purely terminating, or edge covering member for the panels.
  • the edge member may, in this and certain other cases, to advantage have a simpler or other configuration than the particularly preferred quadrilateral tube configuration. Examples of this will be accounted for later.
  • an edge member in accordance with the invention may be provided with side coupling flanges on a further one, two or three sides, and with utilizing such edge members it will be possible to couple panels in two, three or four directions, preferably at right angles to each other.
  • edge member having side flanges (of the same general implementation as described above) on one side which is at right angles to the first-mentioned side, whereby panels can be coupled in two planes at right angles to each other (dependent Claim 4).
  • edge members in accordance with the invention should suitably have a square cross section, since the general rule is to couple panels having uniformity in thickness.
  • An edge member with side flanges on three sides is suitable for utilization in conjunction with erecting a partition wall, screening wall or the like against another wall where in the latter the edge member simultaneously couples two wall panels.
  • the inventive system also allows two panels to be coupled edge to edge in one and the same plane without utilizing an intermediate edge member.
  • strip-like coupling members formed for being accommodated in the recesses or grooves of the panels and for bridging over the joints between the panels (dependent Claim 3).
  • These coupling members may quite simply constitute uniformly wide flat strips of stiff material, e.g. reinforced plastics which can be easily cut to the desired length. The width is suitably equal to twice the depth of the recesses or grooves.
  • the suitably rectangular panels can to advantage be in a single standard size and provided with grooves or recesses in all four edge surfaces. If necessary, a panel can without difficulty be cut or sawn to a smaller size, after which the new edge surfaces thus occurring can simply be provided with grooves or recesses of desired dimensions, e.g. by routing or in a similar way obvious to one skilled in the art.
  • the stiff outer laminae of the panel can here be utilized as guides.
  • edge members provided with side flanges can be easily produced in optional lengths, e.g. by profiling or extruding (possibly with later filling of heat-insulating core material), and can easily be cut afterwards to the desired mounting length. It is, however, advantageous to have a standard length of the edge members, either joining several standard lengths or cutting a standard length to a shorter length as required. To enable simple jointing, the inventive edge members should be prepared at both ends for this.
  • the tubes are cut square and provided in their end surfaces with recesses or grooves in direct communication with the inner sides of the tubes for receiving preferably flange-, tongue- or sleeve-like coupling members for coupling together (preferably edge to edge) with an adjacent edge member (or an adjacent corner or junction member, as will be accounted for later).
  • These coupling members should be stiff and of heat-insulating material, and can to advantage be made from reinforced plastics.
  • a cut edge member can easily be prepared for the reception of a coupling member at its new end surface.
  • recesses or grooves adjacent the inner wall of the tube in a tubular edge member provided with a core may be easily provided with the aid of a cutting punching means or the like, the outer dimensions of which correspond to the inner dimensions of the tube and the size of which corresponds to the thickness of the coupling members which are to be received in said recesses or grooves.
  • the described system also includes, however, special corner or junction members, similarly of heat-insulating material for coupling together edge members in at least two directions mutually at right angles, which define a panel erection plane.
  • corner or junction members are adapted for coupling to the edge members while utilizing the previously mentioned grooves or recesses in the end surfaces of the edge members.
  • the corner or junction members may have projecting flange-, tongue- or sleeve-like coupling members for engagement in said grooves or recesses. It is of importance that the previously mentioned load transfer and stiffening is also ensured at the corner and junction points themselves, particularly such that there is also direct coupling between corner or junction members and adjacent panels.
  • the system thus includes corner or junction members which in each coupling direction, have a projecting, right-angular square tube portion, e.g., from reinforced plastics with a heat-insulating filling, the cross section of the square tube portion corresponding to the cross section of an edge member having a square tube configuration, the free end of the square tube part being adapted for being coupled together in axial and lateral register with an adjacent frame or side edge member.
  • Each square tube part has projecting side flanges corresponding to, and in line or register with, the side flanges on the edge member to which the square tube part is to be coupled.
  • each interior corner portion where two mutually right-angular square tube parts meet
  • the side flanges of the square tube parts form angular flanges intended for coacting with the panel grooves or recesses running at right angles to each other, in the corner area itself of a joining panel (dependent Claim 5).
  • the coupling between a quadrilateral tube part and an edge member takes place to advantage by the free ends of the tube parts being provided with projecting flange-, tongue- or sleeve-like coupling members for insertion with a good fit in the recesses or grooves in the end surface of an adjacent edge member.
  • the tube parts may have a sleeve-like coupling member in the form of a quadrilateral tube thrust therein and possibly glued fast, the outer dimensions of this tube corresponding to the inner dimension of the tube parts (dependent Claim 2).
  • the free end surfaces of the tube parts may be implemented in the same way as the end surfaces of the edge members, i.e., provided with recesses or grooves intended for receiving separate -flange-, tongue- or sleeve-like coupling members, suitably of the same kind utilized for the axial coupling of edge members.
  • a corner or junction member in accordance with the invention may be adapted for coupling edge members from two up to six directions at right angles to each other and/or in opposite directions in an ordinary orthogonal axis system, and that in all cases the corner or junction member is given the form of a direct extension or termination of the respective edge member, with a continuous side flange extension even in the corner areas, which gives extremely good load transfer and distribution ability and stiffness in the corner configuration formed. Simultaneously there is ensured that the panels in angular relationship always join up edge to edge to each other so that absolutely smooth and even joints and corners with the edges on the outer laminae of the panels in direct contact with each other are obtained.
  • corner or junction member adapted for coupling edge members in three directions mutually at right angles. If two of the edge members each have side flanges on only one side and one of the edge members has side flanges on two opposing sides, coupling panels in two (e.g. vertical) planes mutually at right angles is enabled, the two like edge members being able to connect to a substructure, (e.g. a floor or a ceiling). If all three edge members have side flanges on two sides (all connecting to each other) it will be understood without difficulty that to the ones already mentioned further panels can be coupled in a third plane (e.g. a floor or ceiling plane) at right angles to the two planes already mentioned. In both cases the corner or junction member should have side flanges corresponding to the side flanges of the edge members, so that the load transference on all sides is ensured throughout the whole of the formed corner.
  • a substructure e.g. a floor or a ceiling
  • a corner or junction member adapted for coupling edge members in only two directions mutually at right angles which define a plane, wherein the member can have outer or inner angular flanges.
  • the member may be utilized for coupling edge members framing an opening in the panel plane, e.g. an interior doorless through opening.
  • the member may be utilized for coupling edge members constituting an exterior frame of a flat structure composed of one or more panels in accordance with the invention, such as a screen, a door leaf, a hatch or the like. It will be understood that such a door leaf or the like can to advantage be included in a structure otherwise achieved with the aid of the invention, which has a door opening or the like.
  • the present invention thus also includes the provision of door or window frames in an opening in a wall or the like, such that thermal bridges are avoided, and with the utilization of simple framing members, which to advantage can constitute edge members for wall panels of the previously discussed kind, although the wall, generally speaking, could be constructed in some other way.
  • framing members are utilized which include not only an angular member which inter- gratedly constitutes the frame member, first architrave or reveal member and abutment member for a door, window etc. inserted in the opening, but also a second architrave member intended to supplement the angular member for forming a configuration surrounding and attached to the wall edge surface in the opening.
  • the abutment member suitably constitutes a protruding member and can to advantage be an extension out in the opening of the first architrave member, the angular member thus having a generally T-shaped configuration.
  • the frame member should per se at least substantially cover the wall edge surface.
  • the other architrave member includes a door or window frame supplementing part. This other architrave member thus also obtains an angular member character.
  • the other architrave member suitably extends up to, but not past, the door or window frame member (in a direction in towards the opening), whereas in conjunction with non-openable window or the like, the other architrave member extends past the frame member for defining together with the abutment member a space wherein the edge region of the window can be accommodated and sealingly fixed.
  • the integrated angular member will be of heat-insulating material, such as reinforced plastics, while the other architrave member can be of optinal material. Reinforced plastics is also to be preferred here, however.
  • the reinforced plastics material is particularly suitable when the wall is a panel wall with outer laminae of reinforced plastics.
  • the framework can thereby be particularly easily attached with the aid of glueing.
  • the frame member may be provided with integrated projecting flanges (e.g. corresponding to the side flanges on an edge member) for simple coupling of the angular member to the wall panel joining onto it.
  • Glueing or other measure for attaching the angular member without thermal bridges may thus be superfluous.
  • the other architrave member can be attached in an optional suitable manner, e.g. by glueing and/or pinning with the aid of pins made from heat-insulating material.
  • a frame member may include or be prepared for the attachment of hinges or the like.
  • the architrave members may be provided with grooves or the like on their faces facing towards the wall for the reception of sealing strips or the like.
  • modified edge members in accordance with the invention which are provided with side flanges, these edge members being provided on their side opposite the side flanges with a suitably integrated, projecting stop or abutment member for a door, window etc.
  • the side flanges of the edge members are utilized for locking the edge members as frame members to the edge surface of the panel defining the opening.
  • corner members of a previously described kind are utilized for the purpose of giving the frame increased corner strength, it may be necessary to couple each of two mutually opposing frame members in the opening in a suitable, particular manner, e.g. with the aid of resilient coupling sleeves, in the area between the respective associated corners, namely when the framing is put in place only after the opening has been prepared.
  • a framing of this kind involves enabling the avoidance of external architrave members on at least one side of the wall.
  • a side architrave member may be required for fixing a rigidly mounted window or the like.
  • the architrave member then corresponds to the previously mentioned second architrave member utilized in conjunction with a framing using an angular member.
  • the system in accordance with the invention provides in an extremely flexible and complete manner, for the construction of structures from the simplest one-dimensional structure, to complete three-dimensional structures, where the structures may be given optional size and can include free openings, doors, windows etc. these doors, windows etc. being in all essentials enabled to be constructed utilizing the inventive principles, and wherein all panel edges and corners may be reinforced with the aid of a stiff and protecting edge member which permits load transfer on all sides, without this (excepting for possible desirable architraves) requiring any members being placed on the outer sides of the panels and spoiling their smoothness, or any members resulting in unnecessary extended or added construction in any direction.
  • the dimensions of the members included in the structures may be determined entirely by the desired heat transmission coefficient, desired stiffness and without any difficulty at all in respect of determining general exterior or interior dimensions for the structure.
