• the present invention provides new and unique system and method for disengaging plaster of a wall.
• This system is especially designed for plastering buildings in areas that are in the vicinity of seas or oceans that are salty.
• the salt from the sea reaches the walls of the building through the ground or through waves and causes sever damages to the plaster or to the walls themselves.
• the practice nowadays is to plaster the walls in these areas often and to repair the plaster rather frequently.
• a plastering system that is attached to the wall while the plaster is spread on the plastering system rather than on the wall.
• the plastering system forms a space into which the salt crystals that are secreted of the wall can be accumulated without inflicting any damage to the plaster or the wall.
• the plastering system generally comprises an intermediating member having a surface with curved profile that is attached to the wall. The curves form spaces into which the salt can be accumulated.
• Plastering system comprises a member 10, which is an intermediate member, adapted to act as a disengaging means having two sides; a frontal side 12 that will eventually face the plaster and a back side 14 facing the wall (the wall is not shown in the figure).
• Back side 14 is intended to be connected to the wall and therefore it has a curved profile. The curved profile maintains most of member 10 in a predetermined distance from the wall. Only the protrusions come into contact with the wall so that most of the wall is disengaged from member 10.
• the object of the system of the present invention is to provide a way of plastering the walls without spreading the plaster directly onto the wall.
• the plaster is spread on the plastering system that provides space for accumulation of salt crystals that are being secreted of the walls.
• the intermediate member can be made of relatively soft sponge-like material such as polystyrene or Styrofoam, paper, or any other matrix.
• the material is chosen according to several characteristics such as low weight, ability to receive the plaster layer, prolonged lifetime, environmental friendly, fire resistant, adapted to be carved, isolation properties, strain resistance, and other characteristics that are chosen according to the specific needs of a specific wall.
• Member 10 is provided with nails 16 adapted to be anchored to the wall.
• Nail flange 17 is provided to nails 16 so as to establish a firm connection between the member and the wall. It should be mentioned that any other attaching means between the wall and the disengaged plastering layers can be provided. The attaching means should be such that corresponds the requirements of a specific wall that is being plastered.
• an intermediate layer 18 is attached to member 10 while intermediate layer 18 can be provided also with a supporting element such as a wired mesh, fiberglass mesh, or similar reinforcement means.
• a plaster layer 20 is provided on intermediate layer 18. Plaster layer 20 is spread in a similar manner as regular plaster on a surface. Intermediate layer 18, if needed, will be of a material that fits the specific type of plaster used.
• FIG. 2 illustrating an exploded view of plastering system in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
• the plastering system is provided with a member 100 that keeps the plaster layer off the wall (the wall as well as the plaster is not shown in Figure 2).
• Nails 102 and flanges 104 are similar to the ones shown in the previous embodiment (16, 17).
• a reinforcement network 106 made of a stiff material is provided as a layer that supports the plaster that will be spread onto it.
• member 100 is provided with a curved surface 108 so as to provide minimal contact between the wall and the member as possible and provide also a space for salt crystals to be accumulated.
• Curved surface 108 is optionally provided with wiring tunnels 110 that are provided in order to allow wiring duct 112 to be installed within for all purposes of wiring such as electricity, water, or communication.
• This fact illustrates another possible advantage of the plastering system of the present invention.
• the ability to form wiring tunnels within the member of the plastering system allows the user to avoid excavation of the walls themselves while inflicting damage to the walls; this is especially applied in relatively old houses or ancient buildings.
• FIG. 3 illustrating an isometric view of the plastering system shown in Figure 2, assembled and provided with wiring.
• Wiring duct 112 is provided within the tunnel so that wiring 114 for any purpose can be transferred through the tunnels.
• Wiring tunnels can be carved in the plastering system according to the need even if they arise before plastering. If is possible to disengage the system of the wall, curve the wiring tunnels if needed and recover the system again to the wall. It should be emphasized again that the use of this system eliminates the need to curve in the walls for the different wiring systems, which is especially crucial in case of old buildings that in preservation process.
