Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to buildings such as houses, for example.
- buildings such as houses both quickly and using a minimum of materials with a view to reducing costs.
- Many modem buildings are constructed with prefabricated wall, floor, and roof panels that can either be assembled together at the building site or at another location and transported to the building site.
- the wall panels used in these buildings typically include a core of either Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), Mineral Wool Fibre or Polyurethane (PIP), or similar and cladding sheets fastened to the core.
- EPS Expandable Polystyrene
- PIP Polyurethane
- the cladding sheets can peel or break away from the core of the wall panels, particularly under load.
- the lower wall panel load is greater in multiple level buildings where higher level floor components are connected to the lower wall panels and the cladding separation issue is exacerbated.
- Roof panels that have metal cladding sheets on either side or both sides can expand and contract during temperature fluctuations. Over time, the expansion and contraction of these panels undermines the integrity of the panels and the building.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide an alternative building which ameliorates at least one of the foregoing problems, or at least provides a useful commercial choice.
- a coupler for coupling a joist to a wall including:
- a support extending from the receptacle and for supporting a joist.
- an end of the wall panel is received in the receptacle to impede peeling of outer cladding sheets from the wall panel.
- the receptacle may include three orthogonally arranged members.
- the support may extend from a bottom end of the one of the members.
- the support may include a shelf.
- the coupler may be elongate and formed from galvanized plate steel of uniform thickness.
- the thickness may be 2mm.
- the receptacle and support may define apertures for receiving fasteners.
- the coupler may include another support extending from the receptacle and for supporting another joist
- a wall panel assembly including:
- the coupler for receiving the wall panel.
- the wall panel assembly may further include a channel member for locating adjacent the coupler and for receiving another wall panel so that the wall panels are in alignment.
- the coupler may be a lintel for locating over a window, a door or other building opening. The coupler may serve to distribute loads evenly along the wall panel. 3 2011/001285
- the wall panel may define a hollow and include a reinforcement member in the hollow for reinforcing the wall panel.
- the coupler may form a horizontal loading plate on the top of this reinforcement member.
- a support extending from the receptacle and for supporting the component.
- the component is a joist, floor panel or ceiling panel.
- a building panel assembly including:
- a fastener for extending though the aperture and spacer, and being of lesser cross sectional area than the aperture.
- the position of the fastener within the aperture can vary during expansion and contraction of the building panel without stressing the panel and the building.
- the building panel assembly may further include a mounting bracket to which the fastener is fastened.
- the mounting bracket may receive another building panel.
- the mounting bracket may define a pair of parallel members between which an oblique member extends.
- the mounting bracket may be formed from plate steel.
- the spacer may be formed of stiffened foam rubber.
- the spacer may be between 100mm to 120mm wide and 10 mm thick.
- the building panel assembly may be a roof assembly.
- a resilient spacer for locating between a building panel and a mounting bracket.
- a building including:
- Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a building in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a sectional side view of a wall panel assembly of the building of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 is a partly sectioned upper perspective view of the wall panel assembly of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a front sectional view of the wall panel assembly of Figure 2; 5 01285
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of a coupler of the wall panel assembly of Figure 2; and Figure 6 is a sectional side view of a roof panel assembly of the building of Figure 1.
- each wall panel assembly 4 includes a vertical wall panel 8 and saddle coupler 10 for receiving the wall panel 8.
- the saddle coupler 10 couples horizontal joists 12 to the wall panel 8.
- the saddle coupler 10 includes an upper wall receptacle 14 for receiving the wall panel 8.
- the wall receptacle 14 includes three orthogonally arranged members 18, 20, 22. An upper end of the wall panel 8 is received in the wall receptacle 14 to impede peeling of contained ends of the outer cladding sheets from the wall panel 8.
- a joist support 16 extends from the wall receptacle 14 and supports the joists 12.
- the joist support 16 extends from a bottom end of the central member 22 and includes a shelf 24.
- the saddle coupler 0 is elongate ( Figure 3 and 4) and is formed from galvanized plate steel of uniform 2mm thickness.
- the wall receptacle 14 and joist support 16 defines apertures 26 for receiving fasteners 27 as can best be seen in Figure 2.
- the wall panel assembly 4 further includes a channel member 28 for locating adjacent the saddle coupler 10 and for receiving another wall panel 8b so that the wall panels 8, 8b are in alignment.
- the saddle coupler 10 effectively forms a lintel located over windows, doors 30 or other building openings.
- the coupler 10 serves to distribute joist loads evenly along the wall panel 8.
- the wall panel 8 also defines a hollow and includes a tubular reinforcement member 32 in the hollow for reinforcing the wall panel 8.
- the coupler 10 forms a horizontal loading plate on the top of this reinforcement member 32.
- Floor sheeting 34 and ceiling lining 36 can be mounted to the joists 12.
- the roof panel assembly 6 includes a resilient block spacer 40.
- a roof panel 42 rests adjacent the block spacer 40 and defines an aperture 44.
- the roof panel assembly 6 further includes a fastener 46 (e.g. bolt or screw) for extending though the aperture 44 and the block spacer 40.
- the fastener 46 is of lesser cross sectional area than the aperture 44. The position of the fastener 46 within the aperture 44 (of greater cross sectional area) can vary during expansion and contraction of the roof panel 42 without stressing the panel 42 and the building 2 as a whole.
- the roof panel assembly 6 further includes a mounting bracket 48 to which the fastener 46 is fastened.
- the mounting bracket 48 receives another building panel 8.
- the elongate mounting bracket 48 is formed from plate steel and defines a pair of parallel members 50, 52 between which an oblique member 54 extends.
- the block spacer 40 is formed of stiffened foam rubber, and is between 100mm to 120mm wide and 10 mm thick. The block spacer 40 absorbs stresses that occur as the roof panel 42 expands and contracts with varying temperature. In addition, the block spacer 40 tightly hugs the fastener 46 and provides waterproofing of the roof panel aperture 44. Furthermore, the block spacer 40 dampens movement noise in the building 2.
- a tradesman can drill the larger aperture 44 through the roof panel 42 while the roof panel 42 rests on the block spacer 40 without continuing to drill through the mounting bracket 48, as it is readily apparent to the tradesman once the drill passes through the hard panel 42 and encounters the soft block spacer 40.
- the mounting bracket 48 is instead later drilled separately by the pre-drill point of the fastener 46 to ensure proper fixing of the fastener 48 to the bracket 48 (as per manufacturer's recommendations).
- the saddle coupler 10 is suitable for coupling a joist 12 to either the left or right hand side of a wall 8 ( Figure 1).
- the saddle coupler may be suitable to coupling joists to both sides of a wall.
- the receptacle members 18, 22 may be of equal length.
- Another support 16 may extend outwardly from member 18 to support another joist.
- the receptacle 14 is suitable for containing a variety of EPS and other types of wall panels with varying skin.
- the saddle coupler 10 is particularly useful in containing the skin of wall panels in multi-storey buildings which are under greater weight duress and are therefore more likely to have peeling skin.
- the saddle coupler 10 is suitable for transversely coupling a floor panel (or ceiling panel) to the wall 8.
