Definitions

  • the invention relates to buildings. More particularly, the invention relates to a well insulated building where the building is erected upon a foundation.
  • the foundation can hereby consist of a base of reinforced concrete, a cellar or a system of joists, plinths or other permanent base.
  • the building comprises a framework comprising metal uprights and wall panels of plastics material having good insulation properties against heat and cold. Said uprights being anchored to a sill attached to the foundation.
  • An upper floor or ceiling comprising load bearable panels or ceiling section blocks comprising material having good insulation properties against heat and cold.
  • Members are provided between two opposed walls of the framework to rigidify it.
  • Said panel structure is described in EP-A-0 006 756 and showing wall panels with a pair of recesses being disposed along each of the longitudinal side edges of the panels to define a tongue projecting outwardly from a mid-thickness region of the panel.
  • the panels are disposed in side by side relation with the tongues of the respective panels being in opposed abutting relationship and the adjacent recesses together defining opposed grooves located at the junctions between the panels.
  • a post or rigid framing member is disposed in each of these grooves with the opposing pairs of framing members serving to "sandwich" the abutting tongues of the adjacent panels therebetween.
  • Each of the opposing ends of the panel structure has a pair of perimeter framing metal strips connected to the framing members and comprising a cap and a sill respectively.
  • the panel structure is usable to form roof and interior partitions. This structure means tightening difficulties.
  • the connections between wall panels and roof panels and all panel corners involve also tightening problems.
  • the only thermal barrier herewith is angle members or the like of metal strips.
  • the panel structure does not result in a complete solution of an insulated building according to the invention, and gives no solution of constructing a joist, not either insulation of an inner space defining a flat.
  • a building in accordance with one aspect of the invention includes wall panels having recessed edges such that adjacent wall panels enclose longitudinally an upright, the adjacent wall panels abutting each other on the inwardly and outwardly facing surfaces of the upright, a lower recessed edge of each wall panel receiving a portion of the sill to enclose the portion between the panel and the foundation, an upper recessed edge of the wall panels receiving capping plates or hooking devices which reach between uprights, the capping plates or hooking devices being enclosed longitudinally between respective load bearable panels or ceiling section blocks and the upper recessed edges of respective wall panels, the arrangement being such that the inner space of the building is insulated from the outside and from the uprights and sill.
  • the load bearable panels form a floor of an upper room and may be formed of plastics material which may include joists per se, in a known manner.
  • Members are provided between two opposed walls of the building structure to rigidify the framework, whereby the members comprise beams, a lower frame of roof trusses, a joist system, load bearable panels, ceiling blocks or locking devices extending into the joist system or the ceiling, said locking devices having a length which exceeds the distance between the said opposed walls.
  • the load bearable panels or ceiling section blocks have a recessed edge, whereby a first side of the recess engages with an upper edge of a respective wall panel and a second side of the recess engages with the inward facing surface of the panel.
  • the wall panels, the load bearable panels or the ceiling section blocks provide the necessary insulation of the walls and the joist system or the ceiling.
  • the present invention aims to remove the inconveniences with known types of buildings even constructed of said known panel structure whilst at the same time meeting the requirements specified.
  • the building is so simnple to raise that it can be done by anybody, this being also facilitated by the low weight of the structural parts of the building, requiring only the use of manual labour.
  • the framework of the building can be raised without the use of any tools or complicated devices whatsoever, and the raising of the rest of the building is achieved with the aid of uncomplicated tools.
  • the building structure is designed with materials other than wood or wood based building materials. Instead a material with high insulation properties is used extensively, and for certain structural parts of the building a material with low or aimostno conductive ability. This in combination with the ability of erecting the. building with the materials in question, designed in such a manner that the inner space will be tightly sealed and that heat loss by conduction can be avoided, is basis for the invention.
  • the supporting structure furthermore is designed with strong material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

  • Reference 1 in Fig. 1 indicates a building framework where the framework is raised upon a foundation 2 consisting of e.g. a base of reinforced concrete, a cellar, a system of cellar joists, plinths or similar.
  • the framework consists of wall panels 4 and flanking uprights 3 arranged in the middle of a thickened part 14 of the wall panel, uprights 3 in two opposite wall sections of the building have anchoring devices 13 for anchoring roof trusses 10 thereto, see also Figs. 2 and 14.
  • the anchoring device 13 consists of flanges arranged in pairs with e.g. a hole 33 for fixing the anchoring device.
  • Uprights 3 are made of metal, preferably in the form of steel profiles while the wall panels 4 are made of plastics material giving good insulation from both heat and cold, and consisting preferably of aerated plastics such as polyurethane.
  • the wall panels are provided with windows, doors, ventilators, ventilation channels and other wall openings as required.
  • Uprights 3 are anchored in the foundation 2.
  • the foundation has sills 7.
  • sill 7 As the building and its structural sections are precision designed and optimally prefabricated, it is important that sill 7 has a secure anchorage and is correctly positioned upon the foundation. Therefore foundation 2 is provided with plates 17 of e.g. steel which are moulded into the foundation, see also Fig. 10. The sill is secured to foundation 2 by welding to the moulded-in steel plates.
  • Figs. 15, 16 and 19 show sills 7 with ears 61.
  • the sill With foundations of croft, cellar or bottom plate type on the ground having a base layer of insulation material the sill has tie irons 62 located in concrete 63.
  • the bottom section 65 also has a tie iron 64 located in the concrete 63.
  • a wall beam 66 can be arranged as reinforcement against wind loading and external pressures.
  • the ears 61 hold the sill in position while the concrete sets.
  • the ears can be secured with pins, nails, bolts or the equivalent 67. If a base with insulation underneath is utilized, or during cold weather, sill 7 can be secured by bolts or the equivalent through the ears 61.
  • a sill 7 for an inner supporting wall 44 can be attached to the foundation in a similar manner, see Figs. 21 and 24.
  • Bottom connecting section 65 is anchored with tie irons 64 to the concrete 63 and can be hooked into reinforcement 68 in foundation 2.
  • the sill 7 here consists of a horizontal U-profile, preferably with ears 61.
  • the uprights have a groove or recess 69 and can be slid onto the sill to lie against the adjacent wall panel 4 and into its groove 70, then the next wall panel with a groove is fitted into the upright to enclose the upright between the two panel edges.
  • FIG. 5 With further reference to Fig. 5 is seen the shape of the lower part of an upright 3 and a sill 7.
  • the upright has an aperture 23 so that it can be placed astride the sill.
  • an anchoring device 25 on the upright in the form of a hook which is intended to enter the hole 27 in the sill.
  • To facilitate hooking-in of the upright its lower edge is rounded off, see reference 26.
  • the hook is entered into the sill by leaning the upright toward the sill and thereafter raising it against a previously positioned adjacent wall panel which the upright is to secure.
  • the hook can have an upright tongue 31 which is inserted into another hote 29 in the sill.
  • Wall panel 4 situated between two uprights 3 has a recess in the joint edge 15 thereof whereby two adjacent wall panels are arranged to enclose an upright longitudinally, see Figs. 3,14, 5 and 22. Furthermore the lower edge of the wall has an aperture 24, see Fig. 10 and 21, whereby the wall panel can sit astride the sill 7.
  • a sealing strip 51 of e.g. aerated plastic can be placed on each side of the sill prior to mounting the upright.
  • a space 52 arises between the inner surface of wall panel and the foundation. This space can be filled with e.g. sealing compound of polyester or similar material and can be carried out e.g. in connection with floor levelling.
  • Reference 53 shows diagrammatically that the foundation can be provided with heating coils.
  • FIG. 7 it can be seen that capping plate 8 is arranged or connection with other adjacent or closely situated uprights by means of the aperture or hole 30 as shown. The ends of capping plate 8 are connected by insertion into openings 30 and are locked together with locking pin 32, in the form of a shackle, in holes 36.
  • upright 3 has no anchoring device 13, i.e. this upright is intended for use in a wall not having roof trusses raised upon it.
  • the capping plate also shows attaching device 28 consisting of a hole whereby the attaching device is intended for attachment of load bearable panel or joist system 6 or ceiling to the framework.
  • the load bearable panel or joist system or ceiling are mainly designed as panels or blocks and consist of plastics material giving good insulation preferably of the same type as for wall panels 4. Panels or blocks are therefore provided with protruding pins 16, see Fig. 2, for location of the panel or block and with which the pins are brought into engagement with the attaching device 28 when mounting the block so that it rests on the free edge of the framework and inner supporting walls 44 where such are available, see Fig. 13.
  • the spine wall has a similar connection where the two locating pins meet.
  • the joist system rigidifies the framework 1.
  • a hooking device 74 can be arranged in the upper edge recess 18 in the wall panel 4, see also Fig. 18.
  • the hooking device reaches into the recess 18 between two adjacent uprights 3 to hook into the uprights.
  • a hooking device 45, see Fig. 14. is arranged at the corner of.the_building to reach from the adjacent upright in the first wall and around the connecting wall panel in the other wall.
  • Roof trusses 10 or truss sections 81-85 can in general consist of thin plate with reinforcing plates 90.
  • Upright 91 for intermediate walls can instead consist of U or Z shaped metal profiles covered with some other material e.g. block units of plastics material as previously mentioned.
  • a rational superstructure with gables and roof section 80 which can be produced with both inside and outside surfaces ready for use, i.e. the outside weather resistant and the inside e.g. as a ready painted ceiling.
  • roof trusses 10 or male joist 9 can be attached with flanges 13 protruding from wall beams 3.
  • a corner pillar 5 which is connected to an adjacent wall panel 4 and uprights 3.
  • the free upper edge of the corner pillar in the framework is provided with a plate 56 having a locking function.
  • Fig. 4 is shown a cross-section through two erected joist systems 6 according to section E-E in Fig. 2, and it can be seen here that the panel or block has a recess against the adjacent panel or block which, when both blocks are placed together form a recess 19 toward the inner space, see also Fig. 9.
  • the recess In this recess is fitted the lower frame 9 of a roof truss 10.
  • the recess can be filled with e.g. polyurethane compound or some other compound after which the frame is placed in the recess.
  • Member 9 or beam locks the joist system panel or block 6 and furthermore holds the opposite outer walls or parallel situated walls mutually secured, i.e. the lower frame or beam locks the walls in the framework 1, see arrows 11 in Fig. 1.
  • the aforementioned sills 7, capping plates 8, members 9 and roof trusses 10 are made of metal e.g. metal profiles such as square steel profiles. As previously stated uprights 3 can also be produced in square profiles.
  • the inner space of the first floor of a building is surrounded by joist systems, gables, pitched roof sections, standing block sections and/or ceiling stations, or at least those parts of gables and sections which face toward and limit the insulated inner space 40, see e.g. Fig. 13.
  • Gables, blocks and sections are therefore made of plastics material giving good insulation, preferably of the sort of which the aforementioned wall panels and joist system panels or blocks are made.
  • the necessary thickness and the necessary insulation of the building is achieved by means of plastic wall panels 4 and preferably, where applicable, joist system panels or blocks 6 and preferably, where applicable, gables and even for first floors in buildings with arrangements of standing block sections 37, pitched roof sections 38 and ceiling sections 39.
  • blocks, gables and sections are self-supporting by means of which the required sealing and insulation is obtained due to the material properties and its low conductive ability.
  • the blocks, gables and sections give the necessary wall and roof thicknesses and therefore can e.g. wall panels 4 and even joist system panels or blocks 6, on one or both sides, be produced in material with an external wall surface or an inner wall surface e.g. a ceiling or floor surface with suitable shape or pattern.
  • the surfaces of blocks, gables and sections can therefore be produced in finished condition and can thereby be designed so that they are ready for painting, wallpapering etc. or present a complete decorated surface. This can be achieved by producing them in a single moulded material which in itself, through choice of material, contains the necessary properties.
  • a supporting inner wall 44 can be arranged in the building positioned for the support of joist systems 6.
  • the ceiling can be provided with e.g. a border, a pipe or other similar items whereby the upper edge of the intermediate wall has an equivalent recess 47 which straddles the ceiling border.
  • Gables and sections in the building's first floor are designed to enclose surrounding and adjacent roof truss parts or at least to enclose these parts of roof trusses which face the insulated inner space 40. Therefore where blocks and sections occur for limiting the inner space of the building's first floor, they are designed with block joint edges for receiving or enclosing connecting parts of roof trusses. In those cases where gables, and gables together with connecting blocks and sections, arise, they have a recess 76 for receiving connecting roof trusses, i.e. at that side of gables which face the inner space there are recesses for receiving at least those parts of roof trusses bordering onto the insulated inner space.
  • Gables and building sections on the first floor of the building can even be provided with doors, windows, ventilation channels, ventilators, hatches, attic windows and other items which are directly moulded in the building material.
  • Gables, blocks and sections provide the required thickness and the necessary insulation.
  • the erecting device 20 is shown consisting of e.g. an L-shaped laminated unit with a protruding flange 21.
  • the erecting devices 20 are arranged in pairs and include an attachment for a prefabricated eave 22 or part of an eave.
  • the eave is designed as a female connector, i.e. with a recess or groove by means of which the eave or part of an eave can be attached to the erecting device 20 via the female connection. Consequently the eave with its recess can be slid into the protruding flange 21 of the erecting flange.
  • the eave can herewith be designed to at least include a fixing or gutter suspension or similar devices.
  • a typical method of achieving such a wall insulated building includes consequently the utilization of the aforementioned material or similar building sections.
  • the foundation is prepared with a sill.
  • the prefabricated building parts for the framework are easily erected manually whereby the uprights are anchored to the foundation.
  • a wall panel is anchored to the foundation and made to connect with an upright at its edge.
  • a second upright is anchored to the foundation and is connected to the erected wall panel's edge thus fixing the wall panel.
