Abstract

The tridimensional framework (Fig. 1) is obtained by assembling a set of modular construction elements each comprised of a single type of frame (Fig. 2). Said frames, on one hand by their predetermined profile contour and, on the other hand by their standard size, interfit during the assembly thereof and are mutually interchangeable. Certain frames are provided with subconstructions comprised of sleepers and beams serving as support for floor panels, cealing panels, wall panels, insulating panels and components such as door and window frames. This polyvalent constructions system, designed to be supplied as a kit, has a very wide field of applications for the public and private sector; administration, craftsmanship, country dwelling, tourism, habitat.

Description

De tout temps, le consommateur s'est trouvé être tributaire des entreprises spécialisées pour l'assemblage de pièces de bois ou de métal, tels que des poutres et des poteaux, constituants une ossature pour de petites et moyennes constructions légères de un à deux niveaux.The consumer has always been dependent on companies specializing in the assembly of pieces of wood or metal, such as beams and posts, constituting a framework for small and medium light constructions of one to two levels .

La mise en oeuvre de produits semi-fini, tels que des lambourdes, des soliveaux et des panneaux ou lambris rainés et crêtés, prêts à la pose, de plancher, de plafond, de parois et autre, est à la portée des capacités du consommateur, par contre, l'érection d'une ossature - condition préalable pour la mise en oeuvre des produits cités - dépasse ses compétences.The implementation of semi-finished products, such as joists, joists and grooved and crested panels or paneling, ready for installation, floor, ceiling, walls and other, is within the capabilities of the consumer , on the other hand, the erection of a framework - a prerequisite for the implementation of the products mentioned - exceeds its competence.

La présente invention se propose, au niveau de l'ossature, d'affranchir le consommateur tributaire en offrant au public des éléments légers de construction dont le montage et l'assemblage en une ossature tridimensionnelle porteuse est à la portée du savoir-faire de l'homme de la rue.The present invention proposes, at the level of the framework, to free the tributary consumer by offering the public light construction elements whose assembly and assembly into a three-dimensional load-bearing framework is within the reach of the know-how of the man in the street.

Il s'agit d'une ossature tridimensionnelle de bâtiment, formée d'éléments de construction modulaires constitués chacun d'un châssis rectangulaire constitué de deux montants et de deux traverses, (connue par le document US-A-3 681 888), caractérisée en ce que un montant et une traverse de chaque châssis son pourvus sur toute leur longueur d'une feuillure à l'endroit de l'arête extérieure de la face avant des châssis, et en que le montant et la traverse opposés sont pourvus sur toute leur longueur de la dite feuillure à l'endroit de l'arête extérieure de la face arrière des châssis.It is a three-dimensional building frame, formed of modular building elements each consisting of a rectangular frame consisting of two uprights and two crosspieces, (known from document US-A-3,681,888), characterized in that an upright and a cross member of each chassis are provided over their entire length with a rebate at the location of the outer edge of the front face of the chassis, and in that the opposite upright and cross member are provided on all their length of said rebate at the location of the outer edge of the rear face of the chassis.

L'ossature tridimensionnelle de bâtiment (fig. 1) est formée de l'assemblage d'un ensemble, en position verticale et horizontale, d'éléments de construction modulaires constitués chacun d'un châssis (fig. 2) de format rectangulaire dont les côtés ont une dimension correspondant à un module donné, par exemple 250 cm.The three-dimensional building framework (fig. 1) is formed by assembling a set, in vertical and horizontal position, of modular building elements each consisting of a rectangular frame (fig. 2) whose sides have a dimension corresponding to a given module, for example 250 cm.

Le châssis (fig. 2), par exemple en bois, est constitué de deux montants et de deux traverses. Un montant a et une traverse b de chaque châssis sont pourvus d'une feuillure c à l'endroit de l'arête extérieure de la face avant des châssis (fig. 2), en ce que le montant a et la traverse b opposés sont pourvus de la dite feuillure c à l'endroit de l'arête extérieure de la face arrière des châssis. La disposition dissymétrique de la feuillure c sur le pourtour extérieur du châssis autorise la jonction, par emboîtement, de châssis sur trois axes de coordonnées (fig. 1) et leur interchangeabilité réciproque.The frame (fig. 2), for example made of wood, consists of two uprights and two crosspieces. An upright a and a crossbeam b of each chassis are provided with a rabbet c at the location of the outer edge of the front face of the chassis (fig. 2), in that the upright a and the opposite crossbeam b are provided with said rebate c at the location of the outer edge of the rear face of the chassis. The asymmetrical arrangement of the rebate c on the outer periphery of the chassis allows the chassis to be joined, by interlocking, on three coordinate axes (fig. 1) and their reciprocal interchangeability.

Les châssis sont, sur la ligne médiane de leur pourtour intérieur, pourvus de trous d pour la réception de boulons de fixation et de deux rainures e disposées symétriquement et parallèlement à la dite ligne médiane.The frames are, on the center line of their inner periphery, provided with holes d for receiving fixing bolts and two grooves e arranged symmetrically and parallel to said center line.

Les compléments d'assemblage des châssis périphériques comme représentés aux fig. 6 et 7 sont des éléments de liaison f, de section identique à celle des montants a et des traverses b, percés de trous correspondants aux trous d des châssis (fig. 5). Les éléments de liaison f opposés aux châssis en position verticale (fig. 6 et 7) peuvent en l'occurence remplir la fonction de membrure supérieure d'une poutre triangulée, ou encore, par exemple, de membrure inférieure d'une poutre ou fermette triangulée.The additional assemblies of the peripheral chassis as shown in figs. 6 and 7 are connecting elements f, of identical cross-section to that of the uprights a and of the crossbars b, pierced with holes corresponding to the holes d of the chassis (fig. 5). The connecting elements f opposite the chassis in vertical position (fig. 6 and 7) can in this case fulfill the function of upper chord of a triangulated beam, or, for example, of lower chord of a beam or truss triangulated.

La fig. 3 représente un châssis en position verticale équipé d'une sous-construction comprenant des lambourdes g pourvues de rainures correspondantes aux celles des châssis.Fig. 3 shows a chassis in vertical position equipped with a substructure comprising joists g provided with grooves corresponding to those of the chassis.

Les lambourdes g sont fixées au châssis et entre elles par des organes d'assemblage sous forme de goussets triangulaires h. Lesdits goussets serviront à fixer dans les châssis des cadres-bloc de porte et de fenêtre pourvus eux aussi de rainures.The joists g are fixed to the frame and between them by assembly members in the form of triangular gussets h. Said gussets will be used to fix in the frames of the door and window block frames also provided with grooves.

Des châssis en position horizontale sont équipés de sous-construction comprenants des poutrelles à âme pleine dont la membrure supérieure servant de support aux panneaux de plancher prend appui sur le rebord supérieur desdits châssis, la membrure inférieure servant de support aux lambris ou panneaux de plafond.Chassis in horizontal position are equipped with sub-construction comprising solid web beams, the upper frame serving as support for the floor panels bears on the upper edge of said frames, the lower frame serving as support for the paneling or ceiling panels.

L'ossature tridimensionnelle de bâtiment décrite présente de nombreux avantages dont celui de ne comporter qu'un type de châssis - condition préalable et nécessaire pour une production industrielle - aussi ces châssis se prêtent à la préfabrication en production "ouverte", ou comme l'on dit, "sur stock" et une vente sur catalogue.The three-dimensional building framework described has many advantages including that of having only one type of chassis - a prerequisite and necessary for industrial production - also these chassis lend themselves to prefabrication in "open" production, or as the we say, "from stock" and a catalog sale.

Sur les chantiers, la répétition des tâches - facteur de productivité - découlant des rapports d'interdépendance dimensionnelle et modulaire des châssis équipés de sous-constructions et des revêtements - simplifie, facilite et accélère les travaux de parachèvement.On construction sites, the repetition of tasks - a factor of productivity - resulting from the relationships of dimensional and modular interdependence of the chassis fitted with substructures and coverings - simplifies, facilitates and accelerates the completion work.
