Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a self-supporting prefabricated structure for a stairwell and elevator shaft, and assembly method of said structure.
- In the building trade it is known of, when building stairwells and elevator shafts, to lay panels of various types which are positioned along the perimeter of the stairwell with subsequent application of the steps. The building of the stairwell and application of the relative steps is quite expensive and slow on account of having to use scaffolding within a small space.
- As a result, the solutions of the prior art have drawbacks in terms of costs and production time.
- The problem which the present invention addresses is to overcome the drawbacks spoken of with reference to the prior art.
- Such drawbacks and limitations are resolved by a prefabricated structure according to claim 1 and by an assembly method according to
claim 11. - Other embodiments of the prefabricated structure according to the invention are described in the following claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly comprehensible from the following description of its preferred embodiments, made by way of a non-limiting example, wherein:
-
figure 1 shows a perspective view of a self-supporting prefabricated structure according to one embodiment of the present invention; -
figure 2 shows a view from above of a detail of the structure infigure 1 ; -
figure 3 shows a cross-section view of a detail infigure 2 , along the section plane III-III infigure 2 ; -
figure 4 shows a cross-section view of a detail infigure 2 , along the section plane IV-IV infigure 2 ; -
figures 5A and 5B show cross-section views, along section planes perpendicular to each other, of the detail V infigure 1 ; -
figure 6 shows a partial, longitudinal cross-section of the structure infigure 1 ; -
figures 7-8 show transversal cross-section views, according to different embodiments of the structure infigure 1 . - The elements or parts of elements common to the embodiments described below will be indicated by the same reference numerals.
- With reference to the aforesaid figures,
reference numeral 4 globally denotes a self-supporting prefabricated structure for a stairwell and elevator shaft. - The
prefabricated structure 4 comprises a plurality of mechanically joinedpanels 8 positioned so as to form a closed, hollow structure so as to define anelevator shaft 12 of a tubular shape having a mainly vertical extension Y-Y. - The
panels 8 may be of the solid type; it is also possible to use multilayer panels wherein between the inner and outer panels, intermediate layers are provided for heat/noise insulation. - According to one embodiment, the
panels 8 are bound to each other at the top, on contact arranging and mechanically assembling arim 16 of a top extremity 20' of a first panel 8' with an innerlateral portion 24 of a top extremity 20" of asecond panel 8", said innerlateral portion 24 facing theelevator shaft 12. - Preferably, the top extremities 20', 20" of the
panels 8', 8" are mechanically joined to each other by the direct interposition ofplugs 28 and/orscrews 32. - Preferably (
figures 6-8 ), the top extremities 20', 20" of thepanels 8', 8" adjacent to each other are joined by the alternate interposition, along the main vertical extension Y-Y, ofplugs 28 andscrews 32. - According to one embodiment, the
plugs 28 are sunk into thepanels 8 with the interposition of a binding agent, such as a resin. - Advantageously the
panels 8, on anouter side 36, opposite aninner side 38 looking directly onto theelevator shaft 12, comprise at least onestep 40, firmly anchored to them at afirst attachment extremity 44. - According to one embodiment, the
steps 40 are bound to thepanels 8 by threadedconnection devices 48 passing through thefirst attachment extremity 44 of thesteps 40 and through the entire thickness of thepanels 8. - Preferably, the threaded
connection devices 48 are blocked in thepanels 8 and in thesteps 40 with the interposition of a binding agent, such as a resin. - According to one embodiment, between the
first attachment extremity 44 of thesteps 40 and therelative panel 8 there is asupport plate 52 in neoprene. - The
prefabricated structure 4 further comprisesjoints 60 for the anchorage of thestructure 4 to afoundation 64, thejoints 60 being positioned at alower extremity 68 of thepanels 8, at thebase 72 of theelevator shaft 12 to thefoundation 64. - For example, the
joints 60 comprise a pair ofplates 76 separated by acavity 80 which houses thelower extremity 68 of thepanels 8, theplates 76 being mechanically connected to thepanels 8 by threadedconnection devices 48. - For example, the
joints 60 comprise arabbet 84 which connects the plates to each other 76 and which comprises threadedconnection devices 48 on the side of eachplate 76, to bind thejoint 60 to thefoundation 64, both from theinside 38 and from theoutside 36 of theelevator shaft 12. - Preferably, the
joints 60 are positioned astride thejoints 88 between twoadjacent panels 8', 8", so that theplates 76 connect theadjacent panels 8', 8" to each other by means of threadedconnection devices 48, at thelower extremities 68 of thepanels 8', 8". - Advantageously, the
prefabricated structure 4 is self-supporting so as to support itself without requiring mechanical restraints to the building which the structure is inserted in. The only type of restraint required is the attachment of the structure to therelative foundation 64. - The method of production and assembly of a prefabricated structure according to the present invention will now be described.
- The method of assembly of the
prefabricated structure 4 according to the invention comprises the steps of assembling and mechanically joiningpanels 8 to each other to form a self-supporting, closed, hollow structure which defines anelevator shaft 12 of a tubular shape with a main vertical extension Y-Y. - At least one
step 40 is then joined to theouter side 36 of thepanels 8, firmly anchored to them at afirst attachment extremity 44, for the creation of stairs joined externally to theelevator shaft 12. Thelower extremities 68 of thepanels 8 are also provided withjoints 60 for the anchorage of thestructure 4 to afoundation 64 of a building, - - The prefabricated structure so assembled is self-supporting and can therefore be raised, for example using a crane to then be lowered from above into the area chosen for the elevator shaft.
- After lowering the prefabricated structure and laying it on the
relative foundation 64, thejoints 60 of thepanels 8 are anchored to said foundation. - As may be appreciated from the description, the present invention makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks present in the prior art.
- In particular, building of the stairwell and elevator shaft structure is fast and economical.
- In fact, the entire structure is pre-assembled separately from the building it is subsequently inserted in thereby avoiding the need for scaffolding in the area chosen for the stairwell.
- The absence of scaffolding leads to considerable savings of time and money given that the space available in the stairwell is limited and therefore the erection of scaffolding is particularly complicated and expensive.
- Advantageously, the structure is self-supporting and statically independent of the rest of the building which it is inserted in. In other words it is an independent structure built separately and lowered from above into the chosen containment area.
- The connections between the various panels which define the stairwell and the attachments of the structure to the foundation ensure considerable mechanical resistance and means that the stairwell does not need to be anchored to the building after relative positioning inside it. This way, the mechanical separateness of the stairwell is conserved and it remains statically independent of the rest of the structure.
- A person skilled in the art may make numerous modifications and variations to the structures described above so as to satisfy contingent and specific requirements while remaining within the sphere of protection of the invention as defined by the following claims.
