Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for building cavity walls provided with windows and/or doors.
  • the invention relates in particular to the placing of frames in such cavity walls.
  • cavity walls are built as follows. On the floor the dimensions are marked off for the frames and the walls to be placed, and masonry profiles are placed. Then the cavity wall inner leaves, which usually consist of bricks or blocks, are masoned or glued and the frames are placed in the correct location. Subsequently an insulation layer is applied to the outer surface of the inner leave. Subsequently the cavity wall outer leaves, which usually consist of bricks as well, are masoned. Finally the window panes are placed in the frames and they are lacquered with a finishing coating and the inner surface of the inner leave is finished off with a stucco layer. It also occurs from time to time that the frames are placed prior to making the inner leave.
  • a serious disadvantage of the present ways of working is that the frames are put up at the building site in an early stage of building, and then are exposed to weather influences. Damage may also occur as a result of the building activities on the site or as a result of vandalism.
  • the known way of working only gives the client, in particular the future house owners, a limited time only to alter the design of the frames.
  • An object of the invention is to improve on this to a large extent, which is achieved with a method for manufacturing a cavity wall of a building, such as a house, which wall is provided with windows and/or doors, comprising successively placing the first leave, preferably the inner leave, of the cavity wall with openings at the location of the windows and/or doors, marking off the dimensions of the frame around the openings on the surface of the first leave which faces the cavity, indicating the correct position of placing of means for securing the frame concerned on the first leave with the help of gauge means to be secured to the first leave, while taking the frame dimensions as starting point, placing the securing means and making the second leave of the cavity wall, and placing the frame and securing it to the securing means.
  • the entire frame is not placed in the construction until the cavity wall is made, so that a frame is much less exposed to all sorts of damaging influences.
  • the manufacturing can take place later than is the case now, and possible alterations in the frame can be arranged until in a later stage of the building.
  • Essential here is the use of the gauge means, with which the size of the frame can be transferred in a positive manner to the location for the securing means, so that marking off once will suffice.
  • the securing means can in that way be attached in the exact correct position in relation to the frame, as a result of which the frame can be placed later without trouble and in a reliable manner.
  • the gauge means are arranged taking the outer dimensions of the frame as starting point.
  • the second leave is placed taking the location of the securing means determined by the gauge means as starting point.
  • Use can be made here of a masonry profile which is temporarily fixed to the securing means.
  • the first leave preferably is the inner leave.
  • the invention provides a gauge device for transferring the dimensions of a frame to be incorporated in a cavity wall to the location of securing of means for securing the frame on the inner leave.
  • the gauge device preferably is strip-shaped, in order to facilitate manufacturing and storage.
  • the gauge strip preferably is compliant in a direction perpendicular to the cavity wall, in order to be able to smooth away the irregularities in the surface of the cavity wall leave on which the gauge strip is to be attached.
  • the dimensional stability is optimally ensured when the gauge strip is rigid in directions parallel to the cavity wall.
  • the gauge strip has a largest length which is parallel to the edge of the frame, so that per longitudinal side of the frame one gauge strip will suffice.
  • the gauge strip can then be stacked or preferably can be rolled up at larger lengths and bearing in mind the ease of placing preferably be made of material that can be cut. With material that can be rolled up and cut, full use can be made of all the material by cutting it at the desired lengths and separating it from the roll.
  • the gauge strip preferably is provided with a series of view or gauge holes, to facilitate aligning in relation to the chalk lines.
  • the series of holes are arranged on an aligning line arranged on the gauge strip.
  • the gauge means according to the invention can fulfil an additional function by their presence, to which end they are provided with means for limiting the stucco layer in the clear of the inner leave.
  • the plasterer or bricklayer does not need to arrange special provisions at the location of the transition of the clear to the outer surface of the inner eave for a tidy performance of the stuccowork.
  • These limiting means preferably form a stop in a direction perpendicular to the cavity wall and may indicate the size in the clear for the stucco layer, which further facilitates the plastering.
  • the limiting means can furthermore be provided with an edge portion which is folded down or is to be folded down. They can then extend into the clear - possibly after folding down- and then form a additional support for the fresh stucco layer in the clear. It is preferred then that they are also provided with means for holding the material of the stucco layer, such as holes for anchoring.
  • the edge portion mentioned can be connected to the rest of the gauge means by means of a living hinge and/or be detachably connected to the rest of the gauge means.
  • FIG 1A the inner cavity leave 1 is shown, in which during masoning a through-going recess 2 is left open, which is limited by the edge 10 and the size of which cut-away is somewhat smaller than the size of the frame to be placed.
  • gauge or chalk lines 3 are marked off by the person who sets the dimensions. These lines 3 at least at the sides and on top correspond to the outer periphery of the frame to be placed. At the bottom the line 3 is situated a little lower because of the window sill.
  • the gauge strip 4 is formed by means of extrusion (and can be supplied in many meters on a roll) and can be rolled up but is rigid against deformation in the directions parallel to the main plane and for instance is made of PVC.
  • the strip can have a thickness of approximately 2 mm and an overall width of approximately 112 mm.
  • a wide section 20 and a narrow section 22 can be distinguished, which are connected to each other by means of a living hinge 22
  • a first longitudinal series of holes 23 is arranged, which serve as holes for the securing means of the mounting brackets.
  • a series of nail holes 23' has been arranged at large mutual distances.
  • a series of view or gauge holes 25 are arranged, also at larger mutual distances, which are destined to be aligned with the chalk line, in this case the line of the outer periphery of the frame.
  • the series of holes 25 are made highlighted by the shallow groove or alignment line 24.
  • the gauge strip 4 is of material that can be cut, so that it can be simply cut to size. Getting gauge strip portions such as 4a, 4d to size in width is facilitated because the narrow section 21 at the location of the living hinge 22 can be separated from the wide section 20 in a simple way.
  • FIG 2A the inner leave 1 with opening 2 is shown.
  • the gauge strip 4 of figure 3 is placed against the surface of the inner leave 1 facing the cavity, and secured to it by means of nails driven through the nail holes 23'.
  • the series of holes 25 would exactly coincide with the measuring lines 3.
  • the gauge strip 4 serves as drilling jig.
  • the mounting bracket 5 is placed against the gauge strip 4 with leg 5a, two or more securing holes 27 in the leg 5a coinciding with the openings 23 and boring holes situated behind it.
  • the bracket is secured with bolts.
  • the mounting brackets 5 perform a placing function for the frame which is to be arranged later. However they may also fulfil a function in the placing of a layer of insulation material, such as layer 8 shown in figure 2D.
  • the inner leave 9 can be masoned (figure 2E), in which the edge of the opening in the outer leave 9 is kept outside of the measuring line 3. Possibly use can be made of a lath as masonry profile, which is temporarily indirectly attached to the bracket leg 5b.
  • the gauge strip 4 also fulfils a function here. To that end the narrow section 21 is folded down in the direction B at the location of the living hinge 22, until abutment in the clear to the inner leave 1. This is shown in figure 2F.
  • the plasterer has obtained an aid in this way for applying the stucco layer 40 in the clear.
  • the holes 26 here ensure anchoring of the stucco layer.
  • the edge formed by the hinge 22 here forms as it were an corner stucco profile and indicates the location of the surface of the stucco layer in the clear (figure 2G).
  • the stucco layer 40 forms an airtight sealing between the gauge strip 4 and the inner leave 1.
  • the frames which may be ready for use, that is to say, lacquered all over and provided with window panes.
  • the frame 30 which in comparison to existing frames is somewhat adjusted by attaching thickening part 33 to it, is inserted in direction A in the recess in the outer leave 9 until near the gauge strip 4.
  • a frame sealing band 42 is placed to seal the cavity 10 on that side.
  • the band 42 can follow the fluent course of the gauge strip better than the irregular, rough course of the inner surface of the inner leave, against which it is placed otherwise.
  • the sealing band 42 can perfectly sealingly abut the gauge strip 4.
  • a frame sealing 34 is arranged between the frame part 31 and the outer leave 9.
  • the sealing band 34 could possibly be left out in order to realise a pressure equalizing channel between the cavity space 10 and the outside air.
  • the frame 30 is now secured to the turned leg 5b of the mounting bracket 5 with the aid of a bush bolt assembly 43, known under the tradename "Adjufix".
  • the assembly 42 comprises a bush 37 and a bolt 36.
  • the bolt is provided with a self boring end 36a and a self tapping shaft 36b.
  • the bush 37 is provided with a passage for the bolt 36, with a positioning flange 37a of an external wood screw thread and with a hexagonal hole in which a hex key fits.
  • the bush 37 initially abuts the outer surface of the frame 30 with a flange 37a.
  • the bushes 37 are turned to the outside with a hex key inserted in passage 41; until these bushes abut the leg 5b of the bracket 5 with the flanges 37a.
  • the bolts 36 are inserted in the passages 41 and into the bushes.
  • the bolts 36 are rotated with the help of an electric screw driver, in which the self boring end 36a makes a hole in the leg 5b.
  • the self tapping shaft 36b of the bolt 36 penetrates the hole in the leg 5b in order to thus secure the frame 30 to the bracket 5 and thus to the cavity wall in a fixed manner (figure 2H). Due to the gauge strip 4 the location of the chalk lines 3 is transferred in a certain manner to the mounting bracket 5, and thus to the actual place of the frame 30.
