Abstract

Method for building inside and outside walls of a building, characterised in that use is made of elongated construction elements of wood or light concrete (2) which are piled up each other and connected with each other in vertical direction by anchoring profiles (7) with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section to the construction elements (2).

The profiles (7) with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section show in the longitudinal direction notches (7.1) occurring at distances corresponding with the heights of the construction elements (2).

In these notches (7.1) the profiles (8) and (11) are inserted with their narrowest side, and rotated over 90 degrees, so that the profiles (8) and (11) are unbreakable connected to the profiles (7), with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section.

Then the profiles (8) and (11) are connected to the construction elements (2) by means of the profiles (9).

Description

This invention relates to a method for building inside and outside walls.
The object of this invention is to realize a method and, within the framework of this, to use construction elements and their connection parts and to enable to build walls or wall parts and to connect hooked with each other where necessary.
In order to enable this according to the invention, the method is characterised in that use is made of elongated construction elements of wood or light concrete which are piled up each other on the yard and connected with each other in the vertical direction with profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, and which are anchored to the elongated construction elements.
The invention also relates to the construction elements and their connection parts enabling the application of the method in excellent conditions.
Construction elements for the application of the method according to the invention are characterised in that they comprise each time along the side which is in the use position in contact with an under or upper lying element one continuous groove along the one side and a continuous bulge cooperating therewith along the other side.
Other details and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description of a method for building inside and outside walls and construction elements and their connection parts according to the invention. This description is given exclusively by way of example and doesn't restrict the invention. The reference numbers relate to the drawings added herewith.

Figures 14, 17 and 20 show in top view, figures 15, 18 and 21 show in side-view and figures 16, 19 and 22 show in perspective view the possibility to anchor the construction elements to the profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section.
Figures 23 and 24 show in perspective view the connection, in longitudinal direction, mutually between two construction elements.
Figure 25 show, with the necessary breaks, in perspective view the connection of the walls at their ends, and the connection of a wall at its end, with an other wall at a random place in that wall.
The construction elements which are used according to the method, are elongated elements 1 or 2.
The construction elements 1 or 2 show in the longitudinal direction, along their narrow side, at least one continuous groove and along the opposite narrow side at least one continuous bulge cooperating therewith.
The construction elements made of wood or light concrete can be put on each other and be pressed fittingly into each other, so that sideways, at the inside as well as at the outside, a well finished plane surface is created.
When the wall is builded elongated elements 1 or 2 (figures 1 and 2) are used with along the top of the construction element 1, considered in the use position, continuous grooves 3. Along both sides of the groove 3 continuous elevations 4 can be present. The construction element which is put along the top on a underlying construction element and is pressed fittingly therewith, shows a continuous bulge 5.
Along both sides of the continuous bulge 5 continuous grooves 6 are present. When two construction elements laying above each other are pressed together, the continuous elevations 4 fit in the grooves 6.
A continuous bulge 4' is provided along the top of the construction element 2 considered in the use position. The construction element which is put along the top on an underlying construction element and is pressed fittingly there in, shows a continuous groove 3'.
When two superposed construction elements are pressed together, the continuous bulge 4' fits in the continuous groove 3'.
When building a wall by means of the construction elements 1 or 2 according to the invention, use is made of profiles 7 (figures 3 through 22 and figure 25) at the end of the wall, where a connection has to be made with an other wall, or at a place on the wall, where a connection has to be made with another wall.
These are profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section. These profiles are provided in the longitudinal direction with notches 7.1 occurring at distances corresponding with the heights of the construction elements 1 and 2.
These profiles can be made of one or several pieces. Upon using U-shaped profiles the construction elements 1 or 2 are slidden, depending on the wall position with respect to the profile 7, between or over the legs of the U (figure 3 through 22 and figure 25).
To anchor the construction elements 1 or 2 to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, the profiles 8, 9 and 11 are connected (figures 3 through 22 and figure 25). The profiles 8 and 11 are placed in the groove 3 or 3' of the construction elements 1 or 2. The profiles 8 and 11 have preferably an n-angular cross section, although it is basically also possible to provide a circular cross section. The profile 8 is a straight-lined element. The profile 11 is an L-shaped element.
The profiles 8 and 11 are provided with at least one notch 8.1 and 11.1 and with at least one notch 8.2 and 11.2 (figures 3 through 13 and 20 through 22). The profiles 8' and 11' are provided with at least one notch 8.1 and 11.1 and with at least one notch 8.3 and 11.3. The profiles 8'' and 11'' are provided with at least one notch 8.1 and 11.1 and with at least one element 13 that can be unbreakable connected by means of known techniques to the profiles 8'' and 11'', or is obtained by rectangularly folding the profiles 8'' and 11'' (figures 14 through 19). The figures 14 through 22 show the possibility to anchor the construction elements 1 or 2 to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section besides the connecting possibility showed in the figures 3 through 13.
In order to connect the profiles 8 and 11 with the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, the profiles 8 and 11 are slidden in the notches 7.1 of profile 7. This is possible by taking the profiles 8 and 11 at their narrowest side in the notches 7.1 of profiles 7 and then rotating them over 90 degrees (figures 6, 7, 11 and 12) so that both profiles are unbreakable connected together.
Use is made of profiles 8 and 11 depending the position of the wall with respect to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section.
The profiles 8 and 11 are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means of the profiles 9, which for that purpose fit into the notches 8.2 and 11.2 of the elements 8 and 11 and in the notches 10 of the construction elements 1 and 2. The profiles 8' and 11' are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means of the profiles 12, which for that purpose fit into the notches 8.3 and 11.3 of the elements 8' and 11' and in the notches 10 of the construction elements 1 or 2. The profiles 8'' and 11'' are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means of the elements 13, which for that purpose fit into the notches 10 of the construction elements 1 or 2.
It will be clear that the form of the cross section of the notches in the elements 1 and 2, 8 and 11, 8' and 11' correspond to the form of the cross section of the profiles 9, 12, 13, and 14.
To connect the profiles 8 and 11 to the profiles 14 one operates in the same manner as connecting profiles 8 and 11 to the profiles 7. Namely one inserts the profiles 8 and 11 at their narrowest side in the notches 14.1 of the profiles 14 and then rotates the profiles 8 and 11 over 90 degrees.
To connect the profiles 8', 11', 8'', 11'' to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, one inserts the profiles 8', 11' 8'', 11'' on their narrowest side in the notches 7.1 of the profiles 7 and then rotates the profiles 8', 11', 8'' and 11'' over 90 degrees, so that these are unbreakable connected with each other.
While building a wall one thus progressively piles up the elongated construction elements 1 and 2 and anchors them to profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section using the profiles 8 and 11 (depending on the position of the wall with respect to the profile 7) or 8' and 11' or 8'' and 11'' and the profiles 9 or 12 or 13 or 14.
It will be clear that one either simultaneously piles up progressively the construction elements 1 and 2 belonging to different walls and anchors to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, in the way as described before, or which are piled up entirely or partially progressively the construction elements 1 or 2 belonging to one wall, and anchors to the profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section in the way as described before, and then piles up entirely or partially progressively the construction elements 1 or 2 belonging to an other wall, and then anchors to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section in the way as described before.
To connect the construction elements mutually with each other in the longitudinal direction the connection elements 8 and 9 are used (figures 23 and 24).
It will be clear that the invention is not limited to the above described embodiment and that many changes could be applied to this without going outside the scope of the patent application.
