Name of Applicant: Actual Inventor(s): Address for Service: Invention Title: Boral Australia Gypsum Limited William Gilbert Poynter DAVIES COLLISON CAVE, Patent Attorneys, 1 Little Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000.
"Elongate Building Element" Details of Associated Provisional Application(s): No(s): PR7457 dated 3 September 2001 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: -1- P OPERNILV560376 il d-l.l3/2O07 -2- ELONGATE BUILDING ELEMENT The present invention relates to an elongate building element, such as for framing up a building support. More particularly, the invention relates to an elongate building element in the form of an encasement channel for use in framing up an I-section building support, or other support having for example C, Z, T, angle, flat and plate sections.
The framing of building supports is known. Generally, sheet material is applied to building supports such as I-section steel columns by securing the sheet material, such as cladding or plasterboard, to a length of angle, the angle being clipped into place on the building support by means of an encasement clip. The encasement clip will generally be made of a resilient material and is, in use, secured to the angle.
The present invention aims to provide an alternative element for the encasement of a building support, such as for example an I-section steel column.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided an elongate building element for framing up a building support, the elongate element including: a base portion which extends along the length of the elongate element; a lip portion which is integral with and extends from one side of the base portion and which in use engages one side of a substantially planar portion of the building support; and a framing portion which extends from and is integral with the opposing side of the base portion and which in use frames an opposing side of the substantially planar portion of the building support; wherein, the framing portion includes a plurality of integral flanges which extend inwardly towards the lip portion and which in use engage the opposing side of the planar portion of the building support.
Accordingly, the invention advantageously removes the need for encasement clips and substantially simplifies the encasement system and provides a more economic option than provided for by the prior art. More particularly, cladding material may P OPERNJU2560376 lod.c-IN3/32D7 S-3advantageously be applied to a building support using the building elements of the Sinvention with minimal tools. Generally this may be achieved by internal lining trades people.
The integral flanges of the framing portion may be provided and is desired along the length of the elongate building element. Preferably, the integral flanges of the framing Sportion are evenly spaced along the length of the elongate element.
N, The integral flanges may include a snipped portion of the framing portion of the elongate element. The snipped portion, in this embodiment, is simply bent inwardly from the framing portion to form the flange. In a more preferred embodiment, the integral flanges each include a first portion which extends at an obtuse angle to the framing portion, a second portion which extends at an angle from the first portion and which in use engages the opposing side of the planar portion of the building support.
The flanges may be substantially rigid, provided that they can be engaged with the planar portion of the building support. However, in a preferred embodiment, the flanges are resilient and biased towards engagement with the opposing side of the planar portion of the building support. In this regard, the elongate element may be formed from, for example, steel, stainless steel, alloys including those of any of, or a combination of tin, copper, zinc, lead and aluminium. The element may also be coated as desired for aesthetic or functional, such as corrosion resistance, purposes.
The building support to which the elements are attached may include, for example only, a column, mullion, lintel, girder, beam, tie, hanger, strut, brace, beam tie, girt, purlin, bridging piece or other structural member. In the more detailed description of the invention which follows, reference will particularly be made to I-section columns, but this should not be construed as limiting on the invention in any way, a broader application being envisaged for the elongate elements of the invention. Furthermore, the building support may serve a structural or non-structural function and may be orientated vertically, horizontally or any angle therebetween.
P:\OPERJNLA2560376 l.doc -13A3/2007 -4- The material of which the building support is made may include, for example, metal such as iron, steel, aluminium and alloys, timber and concrete which may be formed by hot or cold rolling, extrusion, welding, casting, gluing, cutting to size, machining or fabrication.
t According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a method for framing Cup a building support, such as an I-section building support including: (Ni encasing an edge of a planar portion of the building support with an elongate building element according to the invention, such that opposing sides of the planar portion are engaged by the lip portion and the flanges of the framing portion respectively; and attaching at least one sheet of building material, such as plasterboard, to the elongate building element.
In a preferred embodiment each edge of each planar portion of the building support is encased in an elongate building element according to the invention.
The building material may include, but is not limited to, gypsum based boards including plasterboard; calcium silicate and exfoliated vermiculite based boards; wood and wood laminate, veneer, fibre, chip, particle, flake and strand boards; fibre cement and silica based boards; and extruded plastic sections.
The building material may be attached to the elongate elements by any suitable means. For example, attachment might be through screws, rivets, nails, glue or bolts.
Reference will now be made to the drawings which illustrate certain embodiments of the present invention and in which: FIGURE 1 illustrates an embodiment of the elongate element secured to a building support; FIGURE 2 illustrates an I-section steel column encased using the elongate elements; and FIGURE 3 illustrates a cross-sectional view of one system for encasement of an Ir P \OPER I25 376 lor doc-1303/O207 section steel beam or column which uses the elongate elements of the invention.
Referring to Figure 1, the elongate building element 10 is attached to a planar portion 11 of a building support, such as an I-section steel column (see Figure The elongate element 10 includes a base portion which constitutes the spine of the elongate element 10. The base portion 12 extends along the outer edge of the planar portion 11 of the building support. Extending from the base portion 12, on one side is the lip portion 13, and on the other side the framing portion 14. As such, the lip portion 13, base portion 12 and framing portion 14 form a channel in which the edge of the planar portion 1 1 sits.
The framing portion 14 includes a plurality of flanges 15. The flanges 15 are integral with the elongate element 10 and are constituted by snipped pre-pressed or stamped portions of the framing portion 14. The flanges 15, as represented in Figure 1, include a first portion 16 which extends from the edge of the base portion 12 and a second portion 17 which engages the side of the planar portion 11.
In Figure 1, second portion 17 is shown as a flat portion which abuts and thereby engages the side of planar portion 11. However, the second portion does not need to be flat and abut the planar portion to engage the planar portion. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the second portion might be bent at an angle to the first portion so that it is the apex of the bend that engages the opposing side of the planar portion.
If the second portion is a flat portion as shown in Figure 1, it is an option that a third portion constituting a lip extending from the second portion be provided, as shown in Figure 3.
As previously stated, the elongate element 10 is generally made of a resilient material such that bias in the flanges 15 of the elongate element 10 ensure that engagement of the element 10 with the planar portion 11 of the building support is secure.
Referring to Figure 2, a more detailed illustration of the elongate elements positioned on an I-section column 20 is provided. As will be seen from Figure 2, and even P\OPER\NIL\2560376 I dom- 1303/2007 -6more clearly from Figure 3, the I-section 20 is engaged by the elongate elements 10 and sheet material such as plaster board 21 is attached to the elongate elements 10, generally by screws inserted through the plaster board 21 and into the elongate elements 10, although this may be achieved by other means as previously described. The width of the framing portion 14 and base portion 12 is sufficient to facilitate attachment of the board 21. The embodiment illustrated in Figure 2 represents a column wherein sheeting is applied to all four sides of the I-section 20. In this case, an elongate element 10 is located on each edge of the I-section 20. The illustration in Figure 3, on the other hand, shows sheeting material applied to only three sides of the I-section beam or column. As such, elongate elements are only applied to two edges of the I-section column, those being the edges which are located away from the wall 30 in the case of a column, or floor 30 in the case of a beam.
The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that that prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in Australia.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention described herein is susceptible to variations and modifications other than those specifically described. It is to be understood that the invention includes all such variations and modifications. The invention also includes all of the steps, features, compositions and compounds referred to or indicated in this specification, individually or collectively, and any and all combinations of any two or more of said steps or features.
