Definitions
- the invention relates to a pile construction by which piles of wood can be constructed in longer lengths than trees are growing.
- Constructions of square wooden piles are known in which several piles are connected together by means of steel plates or profiles. Such type of connection, however, can only be used a few times for one pile and till a maximum diameter of about 50 or 60 cm, because of the lack of elasticity at the position of the connection and the high costs for such a connection.
- An object of the invention is primary to obtain long lengths of piles while retaining the good elastic properties of wood.
- a second object of the invention is to make it possible to use short timber pieces in their natural shape, which pieces remain by the production of wood in forest and sawmill.
- a construction consisting of timber pieces joined in the length together by means of at least one stretch rod pulled through holes drilled in longitudinal direction in said timber pieces, in which the joining parts are sawn smooth in a plane normal to the length of said timber pieces.
- the length of said timber pieces will lie between 100 and 200 cm, but it will be clear, that other lengths can be used as well..,
- the strength of a pile can be influenced in a such way that the part with the greatest diameter is situated in that part of the pile which is highest loaded, such that material can be saved.
- this hole in case of one hole being drilled in each of said timbers this hole will be positioned near the center of said timbers, while the diameter of said hole depends on the diameter of the stretch rod to be used.
- the timbers After drilling a hole in each individual timber, the timbers are placed beside each other in such way that the part with the greatest diameter is situated in that part of the pile which is highest loaded, the diameter of the adjacent lying parts being gradually smaller.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a pile construction by which piles of wood can be constructed in longer lengths than trees are growing.
- Constructions of square wooden piles are known in which several piles are connected together by means of steel plates or profiles. Such type of connection, however, can only be used a few times for one pile and till a maximum diameter of about 50 or 60 cm, because of the lack of elasticity at the position of the connection and the high costs for such a connection.
- An object of the invention is primary to obtain long lengths of piles while retaining the good elastic properties of wood. A second object of the invention is to make it possible to use short timber pieces in their natural shape, which pieces remain by the production of wood in forest and sawmill.
- According to the invention a construction is proposed consisting of timber pieces joined in the length together by means of at least one stretch rod pulled through holes drilled in longitudinal direction in said timber pieces, in which the joining parts are sawn smooth in a plane normal to the length of said timber pieces.
- Normally the length of said timber pieces will lie between 100 and 200 cm, but it will be clear, that other lengths can be used as well..,
- By using the construction according to the invention at the same time faults present in the growing tree can be eliminated without a big loss of material.
- By combining timber pieces with a different diameter the strength of a pile can be influenced in a such way that the part with the greatest diameter is situated in that part of the pile which is highest loaded, such that material can be saved.
- According to the invention in case of one hole being drilled in each of said timbers this hole will be positioned near the center of said timbers, while the diameter of said hole depends on the diameter of the stretch rod to be used.
- After drilling a hole in each individual timber, the timbers are placed beside each other in such way that the part with the greatest diameter is situated in that part of the pile which is highest loaded, the diameter of the adjacent lying parts being gradually smaller.
- After this the stretch rod can be passed through the holes in the adjacent timbers for connecting the parts together.
- It will be clear, that also more than one hole can be provided in each timber, so that more than one stretch rod can be provided. The stretch rods can have the shape of a solid steel bar or can be shaped by steel wires or by artificial material, e.g. carbon fibers and such like.
- These stretch rods are pre-stretched till the desired load is obtained and can be blocked in a well known way. Attention must be paid to the fact that the plates, in particular steel plates, which are bringing over the load of the rod. on the surface of the wood, are having a sufficient surface to do so.
- It is also possible to pre-stretch two or more pieces together at the moment of joining of the timber pieces, which gives the opportunity to make bended constructions or piles with a break point at a pre-chosen place.
- If it is desired to have a smooth outside surface of a pile, this can be obtained in a sawmill.
- When wood of less durability is used a center hole in it can be filled with anti-mould and/or an insect killing and/or a rost protection medium, which medium will penetrate entirely into the material of the pile.
- For an easy joining it is recommendable to use an accessory like a piece of artificial tube when connecting the timber parts, by placing said piece of tube in the ends of the drilled holes.
- In special cases it is possible to apply a packing material between the pieces of timber.
- The invention will be explained by the description of embodiments given in the drawing, in which:
- figure 1 and 2 are side elevational views of two different piles according to the invention;
- figure 3 is an exploded view of a pile according to the invention;
- figure 4 is a view on a part of the pile of figure 3; and
- figure 5 is a sectional view of the pile of figure 3.
- The piles shown in the figures 1, 2 and 3 are composed of a number of pieces of
timber 1. Eachpiece 1 is provided with alongitudinal hole 2 through which runs astretch rod 3. The ends of thisstretch rod 3 are fastened inblocks 4, which can be made of steel. - Between the
blocks 4 and the end of the adjacent piece of timber 1 aplate 5, see figure 4,iis provided for dividing the force exerted by theblock 4 over the end surface of the piece oftimber 1. - In this way in most cases it will be sufficient to use only one
stretch rod 3. - The diameter of the
hole 2 is made such large, that the hole can contain a sufficient amount of protective liquid which will penetrate into the wood of the entire pile. - Further the top of the pile is covered by a
cap 6 for protecting thestretch rod 3 and thefastening block 4 for this. - In case of the piles according to figures 1 and 2 the pieces of
timber 1 with the greatest diameter are positioned at the place of the pile which will be heaviest loaded. - In case of the pile according to figure 1 the outer surface of the pieces is worked afterwards for obtaining a smooth outer surface of the pile.
- In case of the pile of figure 3 all pieces of timber have the same diameter.
- It will be obvious that only some embodiments of the invention are described and that various modifications are possible without leaving the scope of the invention.
