Description

The The present invention relates to a brick according to the preamble of protection claim 1, in particular a brick, sand-lime brick, lightweight concrete block, Aerated concrete block or the like, with or without hole pattern, for creating of soffits or parapets.

Farther The present invention relates to a wall opening whose Edge or border of a number of inventive Bricks is formed.

In order to reduce the heat transfer through a window surround in conjunction with a window frame, for example, in the DE 196 37 836 A1 proposed to provide a window surround element for producing a window reveal, which is constructed in cross section of at least two layers, namely a main layer of a mechanically stable building material to which a window frame is fixable, and at least one insulating layer of a heat-insulating material, which is the main layer In the area of the outer contour partially engages and is attached via dovetail grooves on the main layer.

in this connection is to be regarded as particularly disadvantageous that the above-described Window surround element to avoid cold spots the use of a plurality of insulating layers with special Shaping requires, in particular what the interaction with the As far as dovetail grooves are concerned. The use of the described Window surround element is thus relatively cumbersome in practice, inflexible and costly.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a brick of the beginning be further developed such that due to a simplified Design and handling a flexible creation of soffits or parapets in a cost effective manner becomes.

Farther the object of the invention is to show a way how wall openings for inserting window elements, Door elements or the like in a simpler and cheaper Make way.

The The invention solves these tasks on the one hand by means of a Brick with the features of claim 1 protection and on the other hand by means of a wall opening with the features of the protection claim 11th

advantageous Further developments of the invention are the subject of subclaims, the text of which is hereby incorporated by express reference in the description is added to unnecessary text repeats to avoid.

According to the invention a brick, in particular brick, lightweight concrete stone or The like, for creating soffits or parapets thereby characterized in that the brick in at least one of its surfaces has a groove-shaped recess that completely over a dimension of said surface extends and the is designed for receiving insulation material, that the insulation material received in the recess and the remaining surface at least on one side outside the recess form a substantially flat surface.

One Wall opening according to the invention records characterized in that their edge of a number of inventive Bricks is formed, with the bricks with their respective Recess are oriented towards the opening, so that a continuous and in particular circumferential recess is formed inside the wall opening.

To a basic idea of the present invention, the newly created Brick, as a whole in a conventionally known manner may be formed substantially cuboid, in at least one of its surfaces a groove-shaped recess on. This recess extends according to the invention completely over a dimension of said surface, for example over its entire width or length - from an edge bounding said surface up to one corresponding, opposite edge. This gutter-shaped Recess is formed for receiving insulation material in such a way that insulating material, which in the Trough-shaped recess is added, together with the remaining surface of the brick, which is outside the recess remains on the relevant side of the brick, forms a substantially flat surface. The used Insulating material is through the channel-shaped recess in the brick according to the invention on three sides in Position held while the fourth, free side to Connecting to a window element, door element or like that serves.

In In this context, the term "flat surface" not just the presence of an actual completely flat surface, so an alignment of the respective surfaces limited by insulating material and brick, but also includes at least smaller steps or steps between insulation and brick.

The simple, channel-shaped design the recess requires an equally simple and therefore cost-effective design for the recorded or to be absorbed insulation material. This is simply used with the appropriate thickness in the channel-shaped recess, so that the said flat surface results, which also represents an attractive solution from an aesthetic point of view.

The Damping material can in the development of the present invention already before creating the soffit or parapet in the Brick be introduced. In other words, even the individual wallsticks is used with inserted into the annular recess insulation delivered.

at The insulation material can be any suitable (heat) insulating material act, so that the present invention is not limited in this respect is. However, insulating materials are preferred under Pressure have a certain inherent stability.

The Insulation material can in the gutter-shaped recess glued, pressed or otherwise introduced, without that the present invention would be limited in this respect.

A Another embodiment of the present invention provides that the bricks delivered without introduced insulation material and used to create soffits or parapets, so that the insulation material accordingly only after creating the soffit or parapet can be brought into the brick is or is introduced. In this way it is also possible to use larger insulation material elements the after creating the soffit or parapet in each case a plurality of recesses of individual bricks introduced and span several bricks accordingly.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention sees before that the brick is an approximately U-shaped cross-section with two free thighs and one connecting the free thighs having middle leg. Here are the free thighs significantly shorter and / or narrower than the middle leg be formed of the U.

Between the free legs is preferably the trough-shaped Recess arranged. In other words: the facing each other Inner sides of the free legs just form the lateral boundaries the channel-shaped recess. After introducing insulation material suitable thickness thus again results in a completely flat Surface of the brick in this area.

alternative However, it can also be provided that the one free leg of the U longer and / or wider than the other free leg is trained. In this way, even after the onset of Dämmmaterials a certain supernatant of the longer free leg, which advantageously as a stop in the Inserting a window element, door element or the like in a formed from bricks invention Wall opening can be used.

To the Connecting to other bricks looks a preferred Further development of the brick according to the invention before that this opposite to his said recess Page a particular regular structure Having projections and / or recesses. The projections or recesses can each parallel to the recess over the relevant Side of the brick.

advantageously, exists the brick according to the invention in at least two sizes, namely as a whole stone and as a half stone. Accordingly, another training sees the invention that the brick either a first or a second measure of a dimension perpendicular to the course of Recess, wherein the first measure, in particular in Essentially twice the size of the second dimension.

A First development of the wall opening according to the invention provides that the continuous or circumferential recess filled with insulating material. In this case, the insulation material filling either result from that in every single brick Insulation material is introduced, so that the individual Insulating material elements for said insulating material filling complete. Alternatively, however - as already mentioned - also later insulating material be introduced into the recess, which preferably the respective Spans recesses of several bricks.

In the created wall opening can subsequently a window element, door element or the like used become. This insertion is preferably such that the Window or door element with its outer Edge or frame area essentially only with the insulating material engages in the emergence of cold spots safe in this area.

Further Features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments the drawing. It shows:

1 a cross section through a first embodiment of a wall according to the invention steins without inserted insulation material;

2 one of the 1 corresponding cross-sectional view through a second embodiment of a brick according to the invention;

3 another illustration of the brick from 1 with inserted insulation material;

4 another illustration of the brick from 2 with inserted insulation material;

5 a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the brick according to the invention without inserted insulation material;

6 a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the brick according to the invention without inserted insulation material;

10 the wall opening according to 9 with inserted insulation material;

11 the wall opening according to 10 with inserted window or door element; and

12 a sectional view of a wall opening made of bricks according to 5 and 6 is formed, with inserted insulation material and with inserted window or door element.

The 1 and 2 show cross-sectional views of bricks according to the invention, in their entirety by the reference numerals 1a respectively. 1b are designated. Other basic types of bricks according to the invention 1c . 1d are in the 5 and 6 shown.

The brick 1a -D may be formed as a brick, lightweight concrete block, aerated concrete block, limestone or other suitable material, or it may consist of a combination of various suitable materials, the invention being basically not limited in view of the brick material used.

According to the 1 and 2 points the brick 1a respectively. 1b a substantially U-shaped cross section with two free legs 2 . 3 and a middle leg 4 on, with the middle leg 4 the free thighs 2 . 3 connects to said U-shaped configuration.

In principle, the configuration described above also applies to the bricks 1c . 1d according to 5 respectively. 6 , which, however, have some special features, which will be discussed in more detail below.

Again 1 and / or the 2 it can be seen, are the free legs 2 . 3 much shorter and - especially in 1 - Also significantly narrower than the middle leg 4 educated.

A total width B of the brick 1a according to 1 is just twice as large as a corresponding width B 'of the brick 1b in 2 , The brick in 1a can thus also be called "whole stone" and the brick 1b in 2 also known as "half stone".

In one of his surfaces 5 points the brick 1a . 1b a groove-shaped recess 6 which extends completely over a dimension of said surface 5 extends, wherein this dimension in the present case measured perpendicular to the sheet height of the brick 1a . 1b is.

Laterally, the recess 6 through the already described free legs 2 . 3 the U limited.

In the embodiments according to 1 and 2 are the free thighs 2 . 3 of the U formed with identical dimensions.

At its the recess 6 opposite side 7 points the brick 1a . 1b a number of protrusions 8th and recesses or recesses 9 on, at regular intervals and with each other alternately on the said page 7 and parallel to the recess 6 extend. Both the projections 8th as well as the returns 9 are formed in cross-section approximately frusto-conical, with the recesses 9 wider than the tabs 8th are.

The 3 and 4 show the bricks 1a . 1b according to 1 respectively. 2 into the recess 6 used insulating material 10 , In principle, the same reference numerals here and below denote the same or equivalent elements.

At the insulating material 10 it may be any suitable insulating material in particular for thermal insulation; it is by no means on the in the 3 and 4 and limited wavy structure shown in subsequent figures. Vorteilhaf terweise has the insulating material 10 However, a certain inherent stability, especially under pressure in the direction of the brick and a solid or resilient surface 11 on.

The insulation can already factory in the recess 6 in the brick 1a . 1b used, in particular glued, or it may be later in the construction site, possibly only after installation of the brick in the recess 6 be introduced. It is particularly possible, an insulating element over several bricks away in their respective recesses 6 use. This point will be discussed below on the basis of 10 and 11 discussed in more detail.

How in particular the 3 and 4 but also the following ones 7 and 8th can be seen, is the groove-shaped recess 6 in the brick 1a . 1b respectively. 1c . 1d such as for absorbing insulation material 10 trained that the insulating material 10 , which in the gutter-shaped recess 6 is included, along with the remaining surface 5 the brick on the surface in question at least on one side of the brick outside the recess 6 forms a substantially flat surface.

As according to 3 and 4 the two free thighs 2 . 3 of the brick 1a respectively. 1b are formed with identical dimensions, results after insertion of the insulating material 10 along with the remaining surface of the brick 1a . 1b ie that part of the surface 5 , which after insertion of the Dämmmaterials 6 still exposed, a completely flat surface, which extends over the entire relevant side of the brick 1a . 1b extends. This surface is used in the course of a preferred use of the brick according to the invention for forming a wall opening and in particular for creating soffits or parapets in the window or door area, wherein the insulating material used 10 the emergence of a so-called cold bridge between the masonry and the relevant window or door element effectively prevented. The brick is corresponding 1a according to 3 or the brick 1b according to 4 provided with the surface 11 the insulating material used 10 to come into contact with said window or door element, which will be described below with reference to 11 and 12 will be discussed in more detail.

It should hereby be expressly pointed out that the recess 6 has a simple, substantially rectangular configuration in cross-section, so that the insulating material 10 possibly also on the construction site easily and without the need for elaborate, complementary shapes in the brick bring.

The 5 and 6 each show alternative embodiments of the brick according to the invention, in 5 as a whole with the reference numbers 1c and in the 6 as a whole with the reference number 1d is designated. The brick 1c in 5 corresponds to the brick 1d in 6 just half a stone (B = 2 · B ').

The following is only on the differences between the bricks 1c and 1d according to 5 respectively. 6 and the bricks 1a . 1b according to 1 respectively. 2 discussed in more detail.

At the bricks 1c and 1d is the free leg shown on the left in the respective figure 3 of the brick 1c . 1d longer and wider than the other free leg 2 educated. Like a look at the 5 and 6 shows are the dimensions of the free leg 3 each about twice as large as the corresponding dimensions of the other free leg 2 Without the present invention being limited to such a value relationship.

The recess is also corresponding 6 not central or centered on the entire brick 1c . 1d but shifted slightly to the right.

The 7 and 8th show the bricks 1c and 1d according to 5 respectively. 6 each with inserted Dämmmaterial 10 ,

Due to the described dimensions of the free leg 3 this has a supernatant S with respect to the surface 11 the insulating material used 10 and the remaining surface continuing to the right 5 ' of the brick 1c . 1d on. The shoulder defined by the supernatant S. 12 of the brick 1c . 1d can as a stop for a with the insulation material 10 in plant passing window or door element serve when the brick 1c . 1d to create a soffit or parapet is used, which is discussed in more detail below.

9 shows a part of a masonry 13 using the masonry blocks according to the invention 1a . 1b according to 1 respectively. 2 was created. The bricks of the invention 1a . 1b are in the front area of the masonry 13 to recognize, wherein in the uppermost layer a whole inventive brick 1a , in the underlying situation, a half in accordance with the relevant brick 1b and in the lowest position in turn a whole inventive brick 1a was used, so that their respective recesses 6 to a continuous recess 6 ' complete. The latter is one in the masonry 13 trained wall opening for receiving a window or door element not shown oriented, the bricks 1a . 1b make the soffit accordingly.

Again 9 can still be seen, the bricks invention act 1a . 1b about their projections 8th and returns 9 with other, unspecified bricks form-fitting together to the masonry 13 to form what is known in the art.

The 10 essentially shows the 9 corresponding view, but with in the continuous recess 6 ' used insulating material 10 , which in turn is formed throughout and so several bricks invention 1a . 1b spans.

The representation in 11 corresponds largely to those in 10 , so that only additional features are discussed here.

In contact with the surface 11 of insulating material 10 is a window or door element 14 arranged, which in the illustration according to 11 only partially shown. What matters is that the outer, fixed frame 15 of the window or door element 14 over another, intermediate insulating element 16 exclusively with the surface 11 of insulating material 10 comes into contact, so that the formation of a cold bridge is effectively avoided in this area.

What in 11 is shown for a soffit, can be with wall blocks according to the invention 1a . 1b accordingly also realize for parapets.

12 shows a cross section through a wall opening 17 , the left and right by bricks invention 1d respectively. 1c (see. 6 respectively. 5 ) is limited. In the wall opening 17 is a window or door element 14 used as described above with reference to 11 described. Since at forms the respective free leg 3 the bricks 1c . 1d with his shoulder 12 a stop for the window frame 15 which otherwise has the additional insulating element 16 with the insulation material 10 enters into contact, which in the respective recess 6 the bricks 1c . 1d is used, as already described in detail above.

A corresponding use of bricks according to the invention 1c . 1d is also possible in the area of parapets. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, it may be necessary for this purpose, the relative arrangement of the recess 6 on the one hand, as well as the projections 8th and returns 9 on the other hand, to change in relation to the entire brick.

As already mentioned, the present invention is not limited to a particular brick material. Furthermore, with respect to the further embodiment of the bricks 1a -D - unless they relate to the specific features described above - there are no limits. For example, the bricks can 1a -D have a hole pattern, possibly also with additional Dämmstofffüllung. Also, the connection means for connecting to adjacent bricks are not on the projections described above 8th and returns 9 or their arrangement and geometric design limited.
