Definitions
- This invention relates to i ⁇ tcrcngaging building units.
- an objccl of the present invention to provide an extruded building unit which may be made from a polymeric material and which may be produced very inexpensively and which, in addition, is very easy to assemhlc and is also capable of great versatility.
- a building unit comprises an extruded sheet having integral cJaw formations therebehind, the claw formations being adapted to receive complemental formations on adJAceuL appriss ur ⁇ umiu ⁇ UittJ.
- ihe coinplement ⁇ l formations may take the form of T-shupes.
- the claw formations are included i rearwardly-tjxtending Htriitr. h ⁇ » ormati ns may ⁇ ifl ⁇ in o direction parallel with tlic slicel, or ut right angles, ⁇ two or more formations may be provided to receive adjacent sheets and/or connectors at various angles.
- a aw fumiailo ⁇ may be formed in the end of a panel (sheet.) and a complemental formation formed on a panel to be attached at right angles.
- a variety of connectors may he provided in Ihe form of a T-shape in cross section, dumb Iwll-Rhaped in section, stud-shaped in section, double stud-shaped in section; and a variety of tubular members with one or more claw formations and or complemental formations as will he described more particularly below.
- FIG. 1 a simple form of the invention is depicted and comprises a sheet portion 10 with struts 12,14 the latter having a claw formation 16 which is able to receive a complemental formation 18 of an extruded connector 20. It will be appreciated that, instead of the connector 20. another sheet may be provided with a similar complemental formation.
- the connector 20 may liave other complemental formations 24,26 (Figure 3), 28 ( Figure 5), or one or more claw formations 30 (Figure 4).
- Figure (> which is stud-like in cross section.
- Figure 7 which is a double stud.
- Figure 8 which has four claw formations,
- Figure 9 which has hut a single complemental formation,
- Figure 10 which is dumb bell in cross section and
- Figure 1 1 which is simple T-shape.
- the latter two connectors may be used in an arrangement as shown in Figure 12 where to units abut, ihe corresponding claw formations constituting a gap 34 of the same shape as the connector of Figure 10, whicli, when located in position comprises a lock.
- the gap 40 accepts a connector as in Figure 11 or it may accept any of connectors of Figures 2 to 7, 9 or 10.
- the gap 42 may likewise accept any of the plural ily of connectors or other sheet units.
- the unit has pair of claw formations 50. and has a rebate 54 so that it can he used as a door post. It will he appreciated that Figure 13 may he an extension of Figure 1.
- Figure 15 is similar to Figure 13 hut without a rebate and Figure 16 provides ridges 66 against which plates of glass 67 may he located to be affixed by putty 68 for a double window.
- Figure 17 indicates one example of the versatility of the invention, using, far example, tlie uti s of Figure 12. These units 70,72 abut and will receive dumb bell connectors as described above.
- Figure 18 shows a simplified form of the invention.
- Panels 1 in the form of L-pieces are provided at eight end with claw formations to receive complemental formations 102 of adjacent -p ccs, thereby offering many possibilities of forming double walled structures.
- Figure 19 is another example of the arrangement of Figure 17, ⁇ sints T-p ⁇ eces 110 and also illustrating the use of panels 1 12 of reduced thickness with strengthening ribs 114.
- the claw formation 62 can he used to receive a tHe support or a multi-unit support for a roof.
- the connector of Figure 7 could be made from a rigid polymeric material, which may also be reinforced. This provides rigidity LO any chosen structure.
