Description

Assembly system for glass blocks The invention relates to a method for the efficient creation of vertical glass block walls in the assembly process, as well as the necessary parts.

Conventional glass block masonry needed to be proper Creation takes a lot of time because of the alignment and fitting of each individual stone must be made carefully, the invention aims, with inexpensive tools the possibility-to create exact glass block walls or glass block elements for prefabricated construction0 According to the invention, this is achieved by a system with profile rods achieved, which allows the alignment of the glass blocks without tools, the use of mortar is superfluous, small dimensional tolerances of the glass blocks can be accommodated and thermal expansion allows O This system can be used without special knowledge werden0 This is achieved in the following way: At the top of the planned wall vertical profile bars are erected (U-profiles or others with U-shaped longitudinal grooves provided devices), the grooves of which are pointing towards one another. In these grooves are with further profile bars inserted horizontally at their ends with those running in the longitudinal direction Bevels are provided on which the glass blocks can be aligned, The width of the profile bars to be laid horizontally corresponds approximately to the thickness the glass block wall and are housed in the horizontal wall joints.

This creates a bracing for each glass block If struts remain movable in the vertical direction, the building block load becomes direct transferred to the foundations.

The height of the walls are therefore only due to the compressive strength There are limits to the glass block material used.

As the height of the wall increases, there is an increasing clamping effect exercised the Ruer struts.

The vertical wall joints are also sealed with profile pieces provided in the length of the glass block height.

Sensible profiles of the cross struts and the pre-profile pieces cause the glass blocks to be set all around and the components to each other everywhere are bracketed.

Proper water drainage in driving rain is guaranteed on one side There is also the option of using suitable materials for heat and sound insulation to be accommodated within the joints.

The profiled parts can easily be made of plastics or sheet metal However, soft, corrosion-resistant light metal is used as the material proposed (pure aluminum), which dampens vibrations due to its low elasticity acts and allows slight deformations through the glass blocks with dimensional tolerances.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawing , FIG. I showing a section of the cross-bracing profile.

Fig. II shows the top view of a cross-connection profile as before, with attached profile piece for the vertical wall jointsO Fig. III a section of the profile piece intended for the vertical joints Fig. IV an embodiment of the invention in plan view.

To carry out the invention, it is necessary approximately the distance which corresponds to the later wall width, to existing on-site facilities such as Shown in Fig. IV, profile devices (A) with mutually facing grooves (a 1) to be fixed vertically.

Then the foundation, which has also been prepared on site, is used Profile bar C) placed so that the ends of the profile bar into the joints (a 1) of the Profile bars (A) are introduced.

Then the first stone (E) is set and the bead (e 1) is attached the stop (c 1) of the profile rod (C) out. At the same time it is inserted into the groove (a 1) of the profile (A).

Then a profile piece is attached to the head side (e 2) of the building block (E) (D) set in such a way that the bends (d 1) encompass the stone (E) and the recess (d 3) the bead (c 3) of the profile rod (C) overlaps.

Now the second stone is guided against the profile piece (D) whose Bends (d 2) also grasp this stone. The process continues until until the required width is reached.

Then another profile bar (C) is placed over the row of blocks brought, which in turn engages in the joints (a 1) and the glass blocks laid underneath as well as the profile pieces (D) with the bends lying between the individual stones (c 2 and c 4) from above.

Make sure that the edge (c 2) after the rain exposed side is attached, as this is designed as a drip edge.

-This process is also repeated until the desired Height of the glass block wall is reached.

The profiles (A) are firmly attached to each other at their upper and lower ends connected, building elements are created that can be used in prefabricated buildings.
