Description

Insulating block

The invention relates to insulating blocks for insulating and cladding masonry.

Clinker bricks made from brick-like or ceramic building materials for facing masonry are well-known state of the art. Insulating materials such as mineral wool mats placed behind the facing also serve to provide thermal insulation.

In order to achieve the cladding function while simultaneously providing protection against moisture penetration, the clinker bricks are laid in lime mortar in the usual way and arranged in a very complex manner.

The present invention is based on the object of creating insulating blocks which, in addition to thermal insulation, simultaneously perform the functions of optical cladding and provide protection against the penetration of moisture.

This problem is solved by the characterizing features of the claims.

In addition to the unity of insulation and cladding, simple and quick processing without grouting is also achieved. The work can be carried out by non-professionals and, due to the properties of the building blocks, also meets the high functional and optical quality requirements.

Further advantages and details of the invention will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in Figures 1 to .

Figure 4 shows an installation example for a window lintel.

In Figures 1 to 4, the insulating bodies are designated 1, the clinkers 2 and 3.

The insulating body 1 consists of a foamed plastic molded part, which is designed for optimal thermal insulation and at the same time high load-bearing capacity. Additives such as dyes, fire retardants or other additives are optionally incorporated to improve the application properties.

Recesses 4 on the underside 5 and matching elevations 6 on the top 7 serve to fix the position of the insulating blocks (Figure 3) relative to one another. The recesses 4 and elevations 6 are designed in such a way that the insulating blocks can be laid offset by half a length in the bond 8 or rotated by 90° horizontally in the corner bond 9 (Figure 3). Depending on the shape and accuracy of the recesses 4 and elevations 5, a positionally accurate or positive connection is created.

Optional recesses 10 and elevations 11 on the front sides 12 of the insulating bodies serve to further fix the insulating blocks in the assembly. If the recesses 10 and matching elevations 11 on the front side are designed in a dovetail shape, a positive connection is also achieved.

Recesses 13 on the front 14 of the insulating bodies 1 and elevations 15 on the back 16 of the clinkers 2, 3 fix the clinkers to the insulating bodies 1.

The offset 17 of the clinkers 2, 3 in relation to the insulating bodies in the axial direction creates an overlap 18 of the joints 19 between the insulating bodies 1 in the bond of the insulating blocks. This prevents the penetration of moisture or insects. The same function is achieved by offsetting 20 the clinkers 2, 3 in the vertical direction. The dimensions of the clinkers 2, 3 are smaller than the insulating bodies 1, so that defined joints 21 are created between the clinkers 2, 3 when they are laid.

Figure 2 shows an insulating building block in which a second clinker 3 is attached to a front side 12 of the insulating body 1 next to the long-side clinker 2. This makes it possible to lay corners in a composite manner (Figure 3).

Cutouts 22 along the insulating bodies 1 (Figure 4) serve to accommodate steel beams 23, in the example U-profiles. The steel beams 23 take on the function of a lintel, serve to distribute the load or to stabilize, for example, a free-standing decorative wall.

In Figure 4, insulating blocks 24 are arranged in a vertical direction, for example as a window lintel. In addition, the insulating bodies 1 contain additional openings 25 for the passage of load-bearing steel beams 23. The insulating bodies 1 and the associated clinker bricks 2, 3 are in this case adapted to the dimensions of the overall system.

When clinker bricks 2 are arranged on the front and back of the insulating bodies 1, building blocks are created that can be used as decorative walls. The corresponding end blocks receive an additional clinker brick 3 on the front side, like corner blocks.
