Abstract of the Disclosure A system for erecting walls includes wall sections of H configuration which have projections. The projections of the sections may be interconnected to assemble the sections in spaced parallel and perpendicular relationship to form a wall framework.
Description
109;~77Z
This invention relates to a wall system comprising substantially two types of metal sections, by means of which the walls of a building can be erected in a simple manner.
It is per se known to erect building walls of structures consisting of metal sections, which have been coupled together. Heretofore, however, this has not been possible without using a great number of different sections and utilizing special tools and machines. This in its turn implies that the material is more difficult to be transported, and the erection of the wall requires a relatively large staff of specially trained personnel. Consequently, the wall costs increase.
The invention by having been given the characterizing features set forth in the attached claims, renders it possible in a simple and work-saving manner to erect building walls, which comprise a few standardized elements.
In accordance with one broad aspect, the invention relates to an interlocking frame assembly for constructing and supporting a wall system and the like, and comprising:
a plurality of substantially similarly-shaped support sections, each support section having a substantially H-shaped cross-sectional configuration defined by two pairs of oppositely directed leg members attached to one another and a web portion extending therebetween, each pair of said oppositely directed leg members having confronting leg surfaces, with at least one pair of projections formed on each pair of confronting leg surfaces; each pair of said H-shaped support sections further including at least one pair of parallel extending, spaced flange members attached to an outer surface of said support section and extending substantially perpendicular with respect thereto; at least one .

... . . . .
109;~772 substantially H-shaped connecting means extending between and engaging a pair of said projections formed on confronting leg surfaces of each of two perpendicularly extending support sections for interlocking said perpendicular support sections to one another, and at least one further substantially H-shaped connecting means extending between and engaging a pair o said pprallel extending, spaced flange members attached to each of two parallel extending support sections for interlocking said parallel support sections to one another.
The invention is described in greater detail in the following, by way of an embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: ~ .
Fig. 1 is a schematic lateral view of the wall system, Fig. 2 is a section through the system along the line II-II in Fig. 1, -la-..~ . ~

a first type of section,.or main section 1, and a second type of -.
- section 2. These-sectionscan be completed by a third and a fourth:- :
. type of section 3 and, respectively, 4. The sections at the emb.od-iment are made of aluminium according to some conventional method.
The section 1 has the configuration of a H, the ends of the legs - :
of which are provided with inwardly directed projections 5. The -main section 1 further is provided,on one outside and symmetrically ~ - about the section centre, with flanges, which support projections~
:~ 6--directed toward each other. The web portion 7~of~the section 1 --is located~about~lO~mm~from~the section centre,:and.guide edges:~8 s..~ .ara.~arranged abo~*.~.O-~m.cn--th~ ap~posite .s-ide.-.of the:section cQ~tre-~

~ he section 2 has the configuration of a H, the ends of the legs: -.
of which are`pr.ovided with outwardly.directed projections 9 in the ;
form of hooks-j which are countersunk slightly in relation to the-~
~ ~ ~lateral surfaces of the section 2. The section 2 further is provided ` with a section.portion or locking tongue 10, which is drawn integral ~ with the section and inclined inwardly to the section centre from ..
~ . a leg end on each side of the web portion 11 (Fig. 3). Owing to the design of the legs, an outer and an inner stop member 12 and, . respectively, 13 are formed in the respective leg end.

For a better understanding, the invention is described in the follow-in~ as the w211 system can be imagined being erected.
The main sect~on 1 is cut to predetermined langths, which are mounted on pairs in parallel to the side of each other thereby, that lengths 2' of the second ty~e of section 2 in suitably spaced re-lationship are attached by snap~ing between the main sections 1.-At the embodiment, the sections 2' have a length of 50 mm. Due-to the fact that the projection 6 upon said snap-attachment of -the section 2' is located between the hook 9 and the outer stop -member 12, the section 1 is fixed relative to the section 2'. In --~
order to prevent unintentional inward bending of the legs of the section 2 after the mounting, and in order to lock by friction the section 2 to the main section 1, the section portions 10 are bent upward against the stop member 13 (Fig. 2). For the wall system now are prepared one main section for the outside of the wall and one main section~for the inside of the wall.~ - -In order to support and attach the bottom beam or-sill 1' (Fig. 1) to the wall system, preferably parts of a third type of section 3, which is the attachment section-, are fixed to the support or ground 14 equally spaced, in a row and well levelled in height. This is -carried out:pre~erably so, that the fixing portion of the-attach- -ment section consists of a threaded metal rod lS, which is cast in the support (ground) and onto which a nut 16 has been screwn to levelled height, on which rod the section 3 rests. The shape of the section 3 shown in Fig. 2 provides good guidance in lateral direction of the sill 1'. The sill further can be locked to the attachment section 3 by means of a plate 17 and nut 18, as shown in Fig. 2.

109;~7 The mounting of the uprights 1", which are comprised in the wall system and like the sills 1 are formed of double main sections 1, is carried out in such a manner, that lengths 2" of the second type of section 2 are snappingly attached to the leg ends of the main section 1. Said :lengths 2~' of the second type of section 2 have at the embodiment shown a length of 20 mm and are attached by snapping in the places to be-of the uprights:1". The upright~ :

At the ends of the main sections comprised in the girder 1" , the 20 mm long lengths 2" of the section 2 are inserted into the re-spect-ive space 19,-and the girder is attached between the uprights-~l".
