Description
A PROFILE MEMBER AND A BUILDING COMPRISING THEREOF
Technical Field The present invention is related to the profile members and buildings comprising such profiles members.
Prior Art In the field of construction, different materials and structures are used for constructing a building. For example in the conventional applications, posts, beams, base and ceiling of the buildings are made from concrete and steel. Walls of the buildings are made from bricks. Although such structures are long lasting, constructing them requires long times and their cost is high.
In the art, there are also modular structures which are used for constructing buildings. In those applications, prefabricated components are attached to each other.
Although constructing a building using those prefabricated components requires less time, buildings constructed by them are not as strong as the conventional ones. Moreover, in the known art, it is not possible to construct a thermally insulated building using the prefabricated components.
In the art, there are some prefabricated components that provide heat insulation. One example for those components is sandwich panels. In the sandwich panels, an insulating material is placed between two sheets. Although such structures provide heat insulation, their mechanical strength is relatively low. Therefore, it is not possible to construct a building using only those components. In order to construct a reliable building, especially posts and beams should have been made from strong materials. However, such strong materials, such as metal profiles, create a heat bridge between the outer environment and inside of the building. Therefore, there is a need for heat insulating and strong profile members to be used posts and beams.
Brief Description of the Invention With the present invention, a profile member, suitable to be used in buildings is provided.
Said profile member comprises, at least one first member comprising a hollow body having at least one opening to access inside the body; at least one second member comprising a body wherein at least one part of the body of the second member is located inside the first member and at least another part of the body of the second member is located outside the first member; at least one insulating material having heat insulating property, provided inside the first member, wherein at least one part of the insulating material is located between the hollow body of the first member and body of the second member to prevent a heat bridge forming between the first body and second body.
Since profile member of the present invention comprises an insulating material, located between the first member and second member, forming a heat bridge between said first member and second member is prevented. Moreover, since at least one part of the second member is located inside the first member, mechanical strength of the profile member is improved. Accordingly, a profile member enabling high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time is provided.
Object of the Invention The main object of the invention is to provide a profile member suitable to be used in building constructions.
Another object of the present application is to provide a strong profile member with heat insulating capability.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a building comprising the profile member.

If a long lasting building is required, stronger structures are used. However, constructing such buildings require high time. On the other hand, if a faster constructed building is required, prefabricated components are used.
Although buildings are constructed faster by using such prefabricated components, such prefabricated components are unable to provide high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time. Therefore, according to the present application, a profile member suitable to be used in buildings and enabling high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time is provided.
Profile member (P) of the present invention, exemplary views of which is shown in figures 1-10, comprises at least one first member (1) comprising a hollow body having at least one opening to access inside the body; at least one second member (2) comprising a body wherein at least one part of the body of the second member (2) is located inside the first member (1) and at least another part of the body of the second member (2) is located outside the first member (1); at least one insulating material (3) having heat insulating property, provided inside the first member (1), wherein at least one part of the insulating material (3) is located between the hollow body of the first member (1) and body of the second member (2) to prevent a heat bridge forming between the first body (1) and second body (2).
In an exemplary embodiment, said first member (1) is in the form of a rectangular tube, wherein at least one part of a wall is removed. Said second member (2) is also in the form of a rectangular tube wherein at least one parts of each of two adjacent walls are removed. In this embodiment, width of the second member (2) is preferably less than the
Although buildings are constructed faster by using such prefabricated components, such prefabricated components are unable to provide high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time. Therefore, according to the present application, a profile member suitable to be used in buildings and enabling high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time is provided.
Profile member (P) of the present invention, exemplary views of which is shown in figures 1-10, comprises at least one first member (1) comprising a hollow body having at least one opening to access inside the body; at least one second member (2) comprising a body wherein at least one part of the body of the second member (2) is located inside the first member (1) and at least another part of the body of the second member (2) is located outside the first member (1); at least one insulating material (3) having heat insulating property, provided inside the first member (1), wherein at least one part of the insulating material (3) is located between the hollow body of the first member (1) and body of the second member (2) to prevent a heat bridge forming between the first body (1) and second body (2).
In an exemplary embodiment, said first member (1) is in the form of a rectangular tube, wherein at least one part of a wall is removed. Said second member (2) is also in the form of a rectangular tube wherein at least one parts of each of two adjacent walls are removed. In this embodiment, width of the second member (2) is preferably less than the
4 width of the first member (1), such that when at least one part of the second member (2) is located inside the first member (1), other parts of the second member (2) do not exceed the outer walls (1b) of the first member (1). In this configuration, insulating material (2) fills inside the first member (1) and prevents first member (1) and second member (2) to contact each other. Since insulating material (2) prevents first member (1) and second member (2) to contact each other, a heat bridge cannot be formed between the first member (1) and second member (2). Moreover, since at least one part of the second member (2) is located inside the first member (1), strength of the profile member (P) becomes high. Insulating material (3) may expand outside of the first material (1) so as to provide a rectangular shape to the profile member (P). Therefore, profile member (P) can be easily used as post or beam of a building. When the profile member (P) is used in a building, first member (1) or second member (2) faces the outer environment whereas other one faces the inside of the building. Since no heat bridge is formed between the first member (1) and second member (2), thanks to the insulating member (3), inside of the building is insulated from the outer environment efficiently. Although first member (1) and second member (2) are exampled as having rectangular body, they may be in any desired shape such as cylindrical, triangular as well as a complex shape (like omega -0- shape).
According to the shapes of the first member (1) and second member (2), said insulating material (3) may have receiving gap (3a) for reviewing at least one part of the first member (1) and/or second member (2).
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, said first member (1) is made from a metal. A preferred metal to be used in first member (1) is steel since steel has high mechanical strength. However, other metals such as aluminium or different alloys can be used. Similar to the first member (2), second member is preferably made from metal (such as steel, aluminium or an alloy). In an alternative embodiment, said first member (1) and/or second member (2) are made from wood. In this embodiment, natural wood (hardwood) or a processed wood (such as chipboard or MDF) can be used. Wood based components provide relatively high strength and have aesthetic looks. In another alternative embodiment, said first member (1) and/or second member (2) are made from composite materials. Composite materials, such as carbon fiber containing materials, are relatively easy to shape and have high mechanical strength. Yet in another alternative embodiment, first member (1) and second member (2) are made from different materials.

6 For example first member (1) may be made from wood wherein second member (2) is made from metal.
In another preferred embodiment of the present application, said insulating material (3) is made from cellular expanded glass (such as glass foam). Although cellular expanded glass is preferable because of its thermal conductivity and compressive strength, any other material having thermal conductivity below 0,058 w/m2K and characteristic cylinder compressive strength above 2,0 Mpa can be used. In an alternative embodiment, said insulating material may be an expandable foam, such as polyurethane foam. In this embodiment, after at least one part of second member (2) is located inside the first member (1), space between the first member (1) and second member (2) is filled with expandable foam. In order to fill said space, first member (1) and/or second member (2) may comprise at least one filling hole (10). Said filling hole (10) reduces the total weight of the profile (P) and enables some electrical components (such as cables) to pass through the profile (P).
According to the present invention, a building comprising the above described profile member (P) is also provided. Said building comprises at least one base (B) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P); at least one ceiling (C) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P); and at least one side wall (D) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P). According to the desired shape of the building, different number of side walls (D) may be used. For example for a circular shaped building, only one side wall (D) can be used and for a rectangular shaped building, 4 walls can be used.
In order to construct the building, plurality of profile members (P) comprised by the base (B), ceiling (C) and side wall (D) are connected to each other. In order to maintain heat bridge free properties of the profile members (P), when a first profile member (P) is connected to a second profile member (P), first member (1) of the first profile member (P) only contacts with the first member (1) of the second profile member (P).
Similarly, second member (2) of the first profile member (P) only contacts with the second member (2) of the second profile member (P). In order to provide such connection, first member (1) comprises at least one first connection hole (la). Similarly, second member (2) comprises at least one second connection hole (2a). In order to attach two profile members (P) to each other, second connection holes (2a) of said profile members are aligned to each other and at least one connection element (7) (such as a bolt, screw or rivet) is passed through aligned second connection holes (2a). Moreover, in order to provide connection between the first connection holes (la) of different profile members (P), at least one first connection means (4) is used. Said first connection means (4) comprises at least two forth connections holes (4a). At least one of the forth connection hole (4a) is aligned with the first connection hole (la) of the first profile member (P) and least one another of the forth connection hole (4a) is aligned with the first connection hole (la) of the second profile member (P). By inserting at least one connection element (7) (such as a bolt, screw or rivet) through the aligned first connection holes (la) and forth connection holes (4a), a connection between the two profile members (P) is provided. As shown in figure 6, in order to connect the perpendicular profile members (P) to each other, said first connection means (4) may have an "L" shaped cross-section.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said building further comprises at least one outer frame member (5) connected to the ends of profile members (P). In this embodiment, said outer frame member (5) is connected to either first member (1) or second member (P) of the profile members (P). In other words, an outer frame member (5) cannot connect to first member (1) of a profile member (P) and second member (2) of another (or same) profile member (P). This ensures there is no heat bridge between the first member (1) of a profile member (P) second member (2) of another (or same) profile member (P). Said outer frame member (5) comprises at least one fifth connection hole (5a). Thanks to said fifth connection hole (5a), outer profile member (5) is able to be connected to a first member (1) or a second member (2) through first connection hole (la) or second connection hole (2a). When the building has a rectangular shape, three outer frame members (5) are connected to each other in the corners. In order to connect said three outer frame members (5), at least a second connection means (6) is used.
Said second connection means (6) is preferably in the shape of a cube. Connections between the outer frame members (5) and second connection means (6) are provided by plurality of connection elements (7) (such as a bolt, screw or rivet).
In another preferred embodiment of the present application, said insulating material (3) is made from cellular expanded glass (such as glass foam). Although cellular expanded glass is preferable because of its thermal conductivity and compressive strength, any other material having thermal conductivity below 0,058 w/m2K and characteristic cylinder compressive strength above 2,0 Mpa can be used. In an alternative embodiment, said insulating material may be an expandable foam, such as polyurethane foam. In this embodiment, after at least one part of second member (2) is located inside the first member (1), space between the first member (1) and second member (2) is filled with expandable foam. In order to fill said space, first member (1) and/or second member (2) may comprise at least one filling hole (10). Said filling hole (10) reduces the total weight of the profile (P) and enables some electrical components (such as cables) to pass through the profile (P).
According to the present invention, a building comprising the above described profile member (P) is also provided. Said building comprises at least one base (B) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P); at least one ceiling (C) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P); and at least one side wall (D) comprising plurality of profile members (P) connected to each other and at least one panel (9) provided between the profile members (P). According to the desired shape of the building, different number of side walls (D) may be used. For example for a circular shaped building, only one side wall (D) can be used and for a rectangular shaped building, 4 walls can be used.
In order to construct the building, plurality of profile members (P) comprised by the base (B), ceiling (C) and side wall (D) are connected to each other. In order to maintain heat bridge free properties of the profile members (P), when a first profile member (P) is connected to a second profile member (P), first member (1) of the first profile member (P) only contacts with the first member (1) of the second profile member (P).
Similarly, second member (2) of the first profile member (P) only contacts with the second member (2) of the second profile member (P). In order to provide such connection, first member (1) comprises at least one first connection hole (la). Similarly, second member (2) comprises at least one second connection hole (2a). In order to attach two profile members (P) to each other, second connection holes (2a) of said profile members are aligned to each other and at least one connection element (7) (such as a bolt, screw or rivet) is passed through aligned second connection holes (2a). Moreover, in order to provide connection between the first connection holes (la) of different profile members (P), at least one first connection means (4) is used. Said first connection means (4) comprises at least two forth connections holes (4a). At least one of the forth connection hole (4a) is aligned with the first connection hole (la) of the first profile member (P) and least one another of the forth connection hole (4a) is aligned with the first connection hole (la) of the second profile member (P). By inserting at least one connection element (7) (such as a bolt, screw or rivet) through the aligned first connection holes (la) and forth connection holes (4a), a connection between the two profile members (P) is provided. As shown in figure 6, in order to connect the perpendicular profile members (P) to each other, said first connection means (4) may have an "L" shaped cross-section.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said building further comprises at least one outer frame member (5) connected to the ends of profile members (P). In this embodiment, said outer frame member (5) is connected to either first member (1) or second member (P) of the profile members (P). In other words, an outer frame member (5) cannot connect to first member (1) of a profile member (P) and second member (2) of another (or same) profile member (P). This ensures there is no heat bridge between the first member (1) of a profile member (P) second member (2) of another (or same) profile member (P). Said outer frame member (5) comprises at least one fifth connection hole (5a). Thanks to said fifth connection hole (5a), outer profile member (5) is able to be connected to a first member (1) or a second member (2) through first connection hole (la) or second connection hole (2a).

In another preferred embodiment, panel (9) comprises at least one support element (8) and at least one filler provided at least one side of said support element
(8). Said support element (8) is preferably in the form of meshed plate. In order to provide the panel (9), said support element (8) is located between profile members (P) (for example as shown in figure 9, between 4 profile members (P)). Said support element (8) is in connection with first member (1) or second member (2) of each of the surrounding profile members (P).
This configuration ensures that no heat bridge is formed between the first members (1) and second members (2) of the profile members. After the support element (8) is secured between the profile members (P), a filler is used preferably filling the two sides of the support element (8), up to the height of the profile members (P). As a result, a straight plane may be formed. Said filler preferably comprises heat insulating material. In a preferred embodiment, said filler and insulating material (3) have same structure. In another preferred embodiment, said filler is an expandable foam, such as polyurethane foam. In this embodiment, when support element (8) is secured between the profile members (P), at least one side (preferably both sides) of said support element (8) is filled with expandable foam.
Since profile member (P) of the present invention comprises an insulating material (3), located between the first member (1) and second member (2), forming a heat bridge between said first member (1) and second member (2) is prevented. Moreover, since at least one part of the second member (2) is located inside the first member (1), mechanical strength of the profile member is improved. Accordingly, a profile member (P) enabling high mechanical strength and heat insulation at the same time is provided.
