Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protection element for preventing the ingress of water in a wall and for improving the discharge of water from a wall as described in the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such protection elements are known by NL-A-6 500 162 and are provided at distanced positions in a sealing mass forming part of said wall. Said protection elements are substantially tubular and are mounted in an oblique position in the related sealing mass.
  • a wall is made of bricks and is built up on a concrete foundation or near members provided in the wall, such as door sills, window sill, balconies and such like
  • a water-tight seal is. obtained between the engaging side walls of two succeeding elements to prevent water from penetrating between said side walls.
  • the protection element can be placed in the correct position quite accurately. Because the lateral walls will extend in heightwise direction right next to a brick present in the element and because the flanged cover edges fall over the lateral wall of the element lying next to it, water is prevented from seeping inwardly.
  • cover edges are embodied in a U-shape, such that the edges of the lateral wall of the adjoining element can be received in these cover edges.
  • the outer surface of at least one of the lateral walls is provided with an outwardly directed member.
  • the planes of the lateral walls will therefore lie at some distance to each other across a major part of their surfaces, so that no capillary action will occur. Capillary action occurs only when there is a very small distance between two planes.
  • the outwardly directed member is preferably provided on the lateral wall which is not provided with the cover edges. By this the outwardly directed member can also serve for stiffening the lateral wall.
  • the outwardly directed member may thereby be formed by a flanged section of the free edges of the lateral wall concerned.
  • the first longitudinal member When an inner cavity wall is provided at the wall in which the elements are received, the first longitudinal member may be provided, just as the case is with the known protection element, with an extension member flanged away from the plane of the longitudinal member and directed away from the other longitudinal member, which must extend up to the cavity wall. The intention thereof is that water which flows downwards along the inner wall, is collected and directed outwardly. To this end the outer wall may eventually be provided with a discontinuous joint.
  • the surface of the inner wall directed towards the outer wall may, however, be disuniform and thus the breadth of the cavity, too, may vary.
  • the extension member of the protection element may not abut the inner wall well everywhere.
  • the extension member of the protection element extends across only a part of the breadth of the cavity and that use is made of a loose, bent guide plate, of which one leg extends upwardly from the bending point and abuts the inner wall and the other leg slants downwards from the bending point and extends across the extension member of the protection element to beyond the point where the extension member of the longitudinal member has been bent, to seal the cavity.
  • the guide plates may be embodied such that the lateral edges thereof fall over each other to a certain extent.
  • the element depicted in Figures 1 and 2 comprises bottom plate 1, of which the longitudinal edges 2 and 3 are provided with the flanged longitudinal members 4 and 5, respectively, which have been indicated in the foregoing as the first longitudinal member 4 and the second longitudinal member 5.
  • Lateral wall 8 is provided with cover edge 11 at the free edge 10 running parallel to the plane of bottom plate 1 and with cover edge 3 at edge 12 perpendicular to the plane of plate 1.
  • This cover edge 13 is located at some distance on the outside of longitudinal member 5 and may be provided at the top edge with a lip 14 extending freely upwards and inwardly which can connect to the wall made of bricks 15.
  • cover edges 11 and 13 of the lateral wall of the one element fall over the free edges of the lateral wall 9 of the element adjoining it when two elements are placed next to each other.
  • the element will have a length such that a number of bricks, such as two or three, may be provided therein, between lateral walls 8 and 9. Of course, other numbers of bricks per element may also be used. This will depend on the purposive use and on the material of which the elements are fabricated. At any rate, the pattern of the bricks will remain wholly similar to the normal pattern.
  • the height H of the lower lateral wall 9 will be such that it is greater than the thickness of the layer of mortar on which a brick to be placed in the element, will come to rest.
  • the higher edge of lateral wall 8 will thus be positioned next to a brick 15.
  • the higher edge of the lateral wall must also be positioned next to brick 15 and lie below or next to the top edge thereof, so that the bricks of the next layer may be provided staggered.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the possibility of providing longitudinal member 4 with an outwardly slanting member 16, which is connected to a cavity wall 17 standing at some distance to the aforementioned wall made of bricks 15 in which the element according to the invention is incorporated.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the possibility of edge 11 of the lateral wall being provided with a downwardly flanged edge 18 so that a U-shaped edge is obtained in which the lateral wall 9 of an adjoining element can be received.
  • the edge 13 of lateral wall 8 may be embodied in a similar way.
  • the outer surface of lateral wall 9 is provided locally with a rib 19.
  • edges of lateral wall 9 are provided with an outwardly flanged member 20 which is received in the U-shaped edge of the element lying next to it.
  • Figure 6 illustrates the possibility of providing a void 21 between the bricks 15 of the wall and the longitudinal member 4.
  • the extension member 16 which is connected to the longitudinal member 4, extends across only part of the width of the cavity 22.
  • a guide plate 23 is laid on the extension member 16, of which (guide plate) the one leg 24 is connected to the inner wall 17 and the other leg 25 extends right up to the bricks 15 of the wall. Water falling on the guide plate 23 can flow through between edge 26 of leg 25 and the bricks 15 of the wall and can be discharged. To that end a vertical joint may eventually be left open between two bricks 15.
