Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for joining successive premanufactured construction blocks, the construction blocks having two plane major faces and four edge faces and a certain thickness, the construction blocks being joined along an edge face of each block, abutting each other, by a profile having a web and flanges and at least the flanges being made of sheet metal.
  • US-A-2142305 discloses two construction blocks to be joined along their edge faces by means of clips, the edge face of each construction block, before the clips are attached, being provided with metal members.
  • the clips are "hooked” around these metal members on the major faces of the blocks. This method must include several clips in order to attain firmness between the two blocks in the longitudinal direction of their edge faces.
  • the invention is directed towards improvements of the prior art in order to reduce the number of profiles for joining construction blocks and obtain higher security of the supporting function against the combination of longitudinal and lateral forces.
  • the new method also seeks to provide good strength when a load is applied to the composite construction in the longitudinal direction of the sheet profile.
  • the present invention provides a method as defined in claim 1, preferred embodiments of which being defined en the dependent claims.
  • figure 1 shows two construction blocks, e.g. of expanded plastic, which are joined according to a prior art method.
  • the construction blocks 1 and 2 are arranged so that each block has an edge face abutting an edge face of the other block along the broken line 3.
  • a major face 4 and 4' of each of the construction blocks 1 and 2, respectively, is shown.
  • Over the broken line 3 on the major faces a U-shaped beam 3' has been placed, the flanges 6 and 6' of which have been pushed into slots in the major faces of the construction blocks 4 and 4', respectively.
  • a corresponding U-shaped beam has been inserted.
  • the joint of the two construction blocks can be improved by gluing the webs of the U-shaped profiles against the major faces. This is prior art.
  • FIG 2 the method according to the invention is shown.
  • the two construction blocks 4 and 5 are placed against each other along the broken line 3, thus having two opposite edge faces close to each other.
  • the web 7 of a sheet profile 8 is now positioned.
  • This sheet profile 8 has an approximately Z-shaped cross-section.
  • a flange 9, extending to the left in this figure from a longitudinal edge of the web 7, is abutting the major face 5.
  • the flange is bent inwards into the construction block, so that a flap 10 is formed.
  • This flap engages a slot in the major side 5 in the block 2.
  • From the opposite longitudinal edge of the web 7 a flange 11 is extending, which abuts the rear major face of the block 1 in accordance with figure 2.
  • This flange 11 also has a bent flap 12, which is positioned in a slot in the rear major face of the block 1.
  • the blocks are joined by means of the sheet profile, but it is possible that the blocks turn with respect to each other.
  • the blocks are erected with the sheet profile standing upright, when the walls of a building are erected, and then, the blocks are supported by their bottom faces in a U-shaped profile, or the like.
  • the blocks can be further stabilised either by means of gluing the edge faces against the web 7 of the sheet profile, or by means of some kind of screw joints arranged in such a manner, that screws extend obliquely through the blocks from one major face and into the web of the sheet profile.
  • FIG 3 there now is shown a perspective view of the sheet profile according to the invention.
  • the web 7 has the two flanges 9 and 11, respectively, which extend from the web at an angle of 90° and in opposite directions from the respective edge of the web.
  • Each flange has its end edge bent in such a manner that a longitudinal flap 10 and 12, respectively, is formed. It is the two flaps 10 and 12, which are inserted into slots that initially have been made in the major faces of the blocks.
  • the dimensions of the sheet profile are preferably such that the height of the web corresponds to the thickness of the respective block, and the length of the web corresponds to the length of the edge face of the block, i.e. normally the height of the construction block when it forms a wall in a building.
  • the width of the flanges 9 and 11 is approximately half of the height of the web, and the extension of the flaps down into the constructions blocks is approximately one third of the height of the web.
  • the longitudinal extension of the web triangular apertures 13 can be made. These may be arranged in such a manner, that they are positioned in zigzag, so that straight lines of material from one edge of the profile to the other edge are interrupted.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross section through the joint area between two construction blocks 1 and 2. This picture shows more clearly the slots, which are arranged in the major faces of the construction blocks for the insertion of the flaps 10 and 12, respectively.
  • the broken line 14 illustrates schematically how a screw joint can be arranged to enhance the connection between the blocks, e.g. in case the construction blocks are positioned in a horizontal plane and e.g. form a ceiling in a building.
  • FIG 5 two construction blocks are shown in separated positions just before they will be brought together.
  • the incision 15 is shown, into which the flap 10 shall be inserted.
  • the bottom side of the construction blocks is covered with a cover plate 16, which, in the right end of the figure, covers the sheet profile 8, which already has been fitted there, but leaves the major face free in that area, where the flap 10 of the other sheet profile will be inserted.
  • the cover plate 16 extends as far as to the incision 15.
  • a flexible cover plate 17 On the top face of the block 1 there is a flexible cover plate 17 making a weld joint possible. In its right end in the figure it covers the flange 11 of the sheet profile and extends a certain distance beyond the major face, so that when the blocks are brought together it will cover the web of the sheet profile on the adjacent block. In this way a very tight building construction is obtained, which also is stable and easily processed to give the construction a good surface finish.
