Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a profile system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Insulation panels are known to be used in particular for insulating roofs. These insulation panels are at least predominantly made of foam material such as EPS and are provided in a space on the inner side of a wall or roof between parallel arranged, horizontal, vertical or sloping beams. These insulation panels are in any case provided with a finishing layer, for example a chipboard, on the side in view, so that plastering of said insulation panels is not necessary.
  • EPS foam material
  • finishing layer for example a chipboard
  • a profile system as described in the opening paragraph is marketed by the firm of Ecotherm and is to be used in combination with insulation panels referred to as iSoEasy7Pro.
  • iSoEasy7Pro insulation panels
  • two first, oppositely located profiles are screwed onto facing longitudinal sides of two parallel roof beams.
  • an insulation panel is cut to size.
  • swelling tape is attached to facing sides of the body segments of the two first profiles.
  • the swelling tape comes on a roll and is provided with an adhesive layer which, on the roll, is also protected by a protective layer.
  • the insulation panel is fitted between the first profiles, such that the swelling tape abuts against the circumference of the insulation panel, after which a connecting rib of the second profile is inserted into a connecting groove of the first profile so as to be a tight fit therein, as a result of which the insulation panel is retained.
  • insulation panels cannot always be readily fitted between the first profiles.
  • insulation panels after they have been provided between two first profiles, show the tendency to fall from between the first profiles under the influence of gravity, before the second profiles are tightly secured to the first profiles. This is the reason why the operation of fitting the insulation panels is frequently performed by two persons. One person holds the insulation panel in place, while a second person positions the second profiles to retain the insulation panel.
  • Another practical problem may occur if the insulation panel made to size appears to be slightly too large, so that it cannot be readily fitted between the facing sides of the swelling tape. After unrolling the swelling tape, it needs some time to start swelling.
  • the tape may already have swollen to its maximum thickness, in which case the above problem occurs in particular.
  • the swelling capacity of a swelling tape is limited, so that the insulation panels must be cut to size comparatively accurately. If an insulation panel made to size is slightly too small, the swelling tape and the insulation panel do not abut accurately, which adversely affects the insulating power.
  • EP 29277 A1 discloses a profile system enabling insulation panels to be fitted.
  • the profile system described therein comprises first profiles which are secured to adjacent, parallel beams and second profiles which are provided with pins which can be secured in a side face of an insulation panel.
  • the first profiles have a lug behind which an edge of a second profile, which is attached to an insulation panel, can be secured by means of a snap-connection.
  • a drawback of the described profile system which, as far as is known, was never marketed on a large scale, resides in that, after insulation panels have been made to size, additional operations are required in order to secure the second profiles to the insulation panels.
  • Said snap-connection further entails that in spite of the fact that an insulation panel has been fitted, said insulation panel is subject to play, which may give rise to disturbing vibrations. Due to said play there is also the risk that air can travel across an insulation panel, i.e. from one side of the panel to the other side of the panel, which, needless to say, adversely affects the insulating power. This risk is further increased by the fact that there is no air seal between the purlin and the first profile, nor between the first profile and the second profile or between the longitudinal sides of the insulation panels and the second profiles.
  • the first profile is secured to two square sides of a purlin, as a result of which, additionally, there is no freedom as to the "depth" at which an insulation panel is fixed between purlins. This also results in the drawback that the known system is unsuitable for use in combination with ridges.
  • a profile system according to the preamble is known from DE 44 40 131 A1 .
  • This profile system uses a profile of a single type.
  • This profile has deformable clamping strip portions which extend when not in use perpendicular to a body part of the profile.
  • DE 27 00 468 B1 discloses a profile system which also uses a profile of a single type in combination with brackets which are positioned at distances from each other along the length of an associated profile.
  • the profile system according to the present invention is characterized by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the clamping strip portion is made of a resilient material, as a result of which it may deform elastically, or because the connection itself between the clamping strip portion and the body part is of a resilient nature, in other words the clamping strip portion could be made of a relatively rigid material, but also of resilient material.
  • the use of the resiliently connected clamping strip portions enables a person to perform single handedly the operation of fitting insulation panels to, for example, a sloping roof wall, since the clamping action of the clamping strip portions prevents the insulation panels fitted between two first clamping strip portions from falling or moving under the influence of gravity.
  • each clamping strip portion encloses an angle in the range of 30 degrees to 85 degrees, more preferably in the range of 45 degrees to 75 degrees, with the associated body part, with the clamping strip portion facing towards the outside of the space.
  • the end portion of the clamping strip portion facing away from the body part is advantageously provided with teeth facing towards the inside of the space, which teeth tightly grip into the insulation panel.
  • Customary inaccuracies in the process of making the insulation panels to size can apparently be coped with in a very suitable manner if the end portion of the clamping strip portion facing away from the body part is situated at a distance in the range of 5mm to 15mm from the inner side of the body part. This refers to the unloaded condition of the clamping strip portion.
  • Every first profile comprises at least two clamping strip portions.
  • the clamping strip portion is preferably made of the same material as the associated body part.
  • the first profiles can thus be manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner by means of extrusion.
  • connection means for each pair of a first profile and a second profile comprise a connecting groove at the first profile profile, which groove is open on the side facing the space and which is present between the inner side of the body part, on the longitudinal side thereof facing the space, and a connection strip which is provided at a distance from the body part on the inner side thereof and which is connected to the body part, as well as a connecting rib on the side of the second profile facing away from the space, which connecting rib can be tightly fitted into the connecting groove.
  • a reliable connection between the first profile and the second profile can be achieved, in particular, if in accordance with another embodiment the connecting rib and the connecting groove are provided with teeth on mutually facing sides.
  • every first profile is provided on the inside of the body part with at least one elongated sealing strip portion of a flexible, rubber-like material.
  • the flexible, rubber-like character of the material enables the sealing strip portion to accurately follow the contours of the insulation panel.
  • the sealing strip portion is preferably made of soft PVC.
  • Soft PVC can suitably be extruded simultaneously with another, more rigid synthetic resin material, such as hard PVC.
  • the sealing strip portion may be connected either directly to the body part or via a clamping strip portion.
  • the sealing strip portion preferably abuts against the longitudinal edge of the clamping strip portion facing away from the body part.
  • a sloping roof with purlins also comprises a horizontal beam in the ridge of the roof.
  • the cross-section of this beam has a vertical orientation.
  • This beam is referred to as ridge purlin.
  • ridge purlin In those cases where a floor connects to the sloping roof, there is a horizontal beam having a vertical cross-section which is horizontally oriented.
  • This beam is commonly referred to as wall plate.
  • the term "orthogonal construction element" as used herein, is to be understood to include at least the ridge purlin and the wall plate.
  • a characteristic of the orthogonal construction elements is that there is a horizontally or vertically oriented flank, whereas "regular" purlins have slopingly oriented flanks at right angles to the slope of the roof in question.
  • Insulation panels have to be fitted not only between regular slopingly oriented purlins, but also between a regular purlin and a ridge purlin situated over it, or between a regular purlin and a wall plate situated underneath it.
  • insulation panels can be fitted in a manner corresponding to the way in which an insulation panel is fitted between purlins themselves.
  • a bevelled off wooden rail instead of a bevelled off wooden rail, use can alternatively be made of bevelled off comparatively narrow strips of insulation panels which can be secured in line to the ridge purlin or wall plate. As compared to the use of a bevelled off wooden rail, these strips result in a higher insulating value.
  • connection means comprise a connection profile to which both the first profile and the second profile can be connected, which connection profile has a first abutting portion to be abutted on an outer side thereof by the outer side of a first profile and a second abutting portion for abutting, with an outer side thereof, against a longitudinal side of an orthogonal construction element, said first abutting portion and said second abutting portion enclosing an angle with each other, at least at the location of the abutting areas, in the range of 10 degrees to 80 degrees, preferably in the range between 30 degrees and 60 degrees.
  • bevelled off parts as described hereinabove, may be rendered superfluous in the case of roofs having different angles of slope, resulting in a substantial saving of time in the process of fitting insulation panels on the inner side of a sloping roof.
  • connection profile as described hereinabove cannot only advantageously be applied to profile systems in accordance with the invention, as described hereinabove, but also to profile systems according to the prior art, such as, for example, the above-mentioned iSoEasy7Pro.
  • the reason for this being that the advantages achieved by using a connection profile as described hereinabove is independent of the possible use of clamping strip portions.
  • the present invention also provides a profile system for fitting insulation panels between elongated, parallel construction elements related to a space, which profile system comprises two first elongated profiles which each have a body part for abutting with an outer side thereof against two mutually facing longitudinal sides of two respective adjacent construction elements, and two second elongated profiles which each have a finishing part for abutting with an inner side thereof against the side of an insulation panel, at the circumference thereof, which side faces the space and which panel is fitted between two first profiles, connection means for connecting each of the first profiles with a second profile, and sealing means for sealing the seam between the inner sides of the two respective body parts and an oppositely located part of the circumferential edge of the insulation panel, wherein the connection means comprise a connection profile to which both the first profile and the second profile can be connected, which connection profile has a first abutting portion to be abutted on an outer side thereof by the outer side of a first profile and a second abutting portion for abutting, with an outer side thereof, against a
  • the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion are flexibly, preferably resiliently, interconnected, enabling the angle they enclose with each other to be changed.
  • one and the same profile system can be employed for roofs having different angles of slope.
  • the second abutting portion forms part of a wall portion of the connection profile, which wall portion, in the unloaded condition, has a curved shape in cross-section, and which wall portion is at least partly made of elastic material, enabling it to deform, in the loaded condition, at the location of the second abutting portion from a curved shape to a flatter shape.
  • a flatter shape could in extreme cases be completely flat; in practice, however, it will still be slightly curved.
  • the curved shape offers the user more freedom in terms of the positioning of the connection profile with respect to the orthogonal construction element, since abutment takes place as soon as the connection profile is brought so close to the orthogonal construction element that the latter is within the range of the curved shape.
  • said wall portion and the first abutting portion together define an enclosed area; thus, it can be noted that said enclosed area can also be defined by other parts of the profile system.
  • said enclosed area after the insulation panels have been fitted, the air will be still, which has a certain insulating effect.
  • connection profile is provided with at least one bridge part which flexibly, for example elastically, interconnects the inner sides of the wall portion and the first abutting portion
  • said at least one bridge part can contribute to the formation of one or more closed areas and also contribute to the flexible connection between the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion, as described hereinabove, enabling the angle which they enclose with one another to be changed.
  • the at least one bridge part can contribute to the rigidity properties of the connection profile.
  • connection profile preferably comprises at least one deformable air chamber between the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion, which air chamber extends over the length of the connection profile.

  • connection profile and the further connection profile are resiliently interconnected by the coupling part.
  • connection profile can tightly embrace a ridge purlin, so that the connection profile can independently hang on the ridge purlin, as a result of which the connection profile can be permanently connected to the ridge purlin, for example using nails or screws, in a very easy manner.
  • the coupling part has a parting line which extends in the longitudinal direction of the connection profile, and which enables the connection profile and the further connection profile to be separated from each other.
  • a parting line may be, for example, a perforation line or a line along which the wall thickness of the profile has been substantially reduced, so that said separation can be brought about in a relatively simple manner, if required even without the use of tools.

  • Fig 4 shows an alternative embodiment 51 of a first profile which, if necessary, may also be used in combination with the second profile 12.
  • the only difference between the first profile 11 and the first profile 51 resides in that the softlips 20, 21 have been replaced by (longer) softlips 52, 53, which connect directly, with a longitudinal edge, to body part 13, and the opposite longitudinal edge of which is at a similar distance from body part 13 as the free longitudinal edges of softlips 20, 21.
  • Figure 5 shows how profile system 10 can also be used for fitting insulation panels 6 between ridge purlin 28 and the underlying purlin 4.
  • Ridge purlin 28 has a vertically oriented longitudinal side 27 which thus encloses an angle with the (upper) longitudinal side of purlin 4. For this reason, ridge purlin 28 is unsuitable for having a first profile 11 secured directly to the longitudinal side of said purlin, which first profile would consequently also be vertically oriented.
  • use is made of a strip 26 cut at an angle from an insulation panel. Insofar as ridge purlin 28 is longer than the associated insulation panel, a number of strips 26 can be applied sequentially. Strip 26 is secured to longitudinal side 27 of ridge purlin 28.

  • Figure 10 shows another alternative embodiment 91 of a first profile which can also be applied in combination with the second profile 12.
  • the only difference between the first profile 11 according to figure 3 and the first profile 91 resides in that the clamping strip portions 92a, 92b are mutually different both in terms of thickness and length.

  • Figures 11 a through 11c show three first profiles 11, 93, 94, respectively, which differ in the length of the body parts 13, 95, 96 thereof. Furthermore, the number of clamping strip portions connected to the respective body parts (and the number of softlips connected to the ends of the body parts) increase as the length of the body parts increases. Thus, the profile system is also suitable for use with insulation panels of different thicknesses.

  • Parting seam 76 extends throughout the length of ridge profile 61 and makes it possible (in figure 6 ) to separate in a simple manner the left portion of ridge profile 61 from the right portion of ridge profile 61.
  • Figure 8 shows one of the two resultant halves, while figure 9 shows how such a half can be used for fitting an insulation panel adjoining a wall plate 29.
  • Coupling part 64 comprises bending parts 77 at the two opposing longitudinal edges thereof, which bending parts are made, unlike the remaining part of ridge profile 61, from soft PVC material, so that the bending parts connect the associated connection profile 63 in a flexible and resilient manner to the central part 75.
  • the first abutting portions 64 of the two connection profiles 63 of a ridge profile 61 enclose an angle of approximately 90 degrees with each other, and the curved wall portions 65 of the two connection profiles 63 of the ridge profile 61 are spaced a minimum distance x from each other.
  • Figure 7 shows how ridge profile 61 can be used at the location of ridge purlin 28 having a width b.
  • a packing lath 78 is provided on the lower side of the ridge purlin 28. Subsequently, from the lower side, the ridge profile 61 is slid over the ridge purlin 28.
  • connection profiles 63 will tend to oppose the spring action of bending parts 77 and the elastic power of deformation of the connection profiles 63, so as to diverge such that distance x becomes equal to width b.
  • the curved wall portion 65 will tend to assume a flatter shape.
  • the area of each of the curved wall portions 65 where they abut against longitudinal side 27 is referred to as the second abutting portion 79.
  • the curved wall portions 65 of ridge profile 61 will exert a clamping force on the longitudinal sides of ridge purlin 28, as a result of which the ridge profile can remain suspended independently.
  • a user does not have to use his hands to keep the ridge profile properly positioned when he permanently secures the ridge profile to ridge purlin 28, for example by screwing a screw through central part 75 into packing lath 78 and, if necessary, into ridge purlin 28.
  • a first profile 11 is secured to a connection profile 63 (right-hand side in figure 7 ) by pressing connecting groove 18 around connecting rib 73, such that the body part 13 abuts against the first abutting portion 64.
  • a cut-to-size insulation panel 6 between said first profile 11 and a first profile 11 is pressed against the upper flank of a ridge 4 situated below ridge purlin 28, so that the first profile 11, visible in figure 7 , will swing slightly counterclockwise, while simultaneously further deforming the curved wall portion 65 and enlarging the second abutting portion 79.
  • the second abutting portion 79 is depicted as a flat longitudinal side, but in practice it is very well possible that the second abutting portion 79 maintains a slightly curved shape.
  • the fitted insulation panel 6 is kept in place by virtue of the clamping action of clamping strip portions 15a and 15b, so that further finishing can be readily performed by inserting the second profile 12 by means of connecting rib 31 into connecting groove 74.
  • one half of ridge profile 61 can be used, in a completely comparable manner, in the case of a wall plate 29 to which a packing lath 80 may be secured to make sure that the first profile 11 is eventually properly positioned there.
  • FIGS 12 and 13 relate to the manner in which finishing strips 40 (see figure 1 ) could be embodied as seam profiles 101.
  • Seam profile 101 comprises a body part 102 and two stop parts 103a, 103b which preferably each enclose an angle ⁇ in the range of 85 degrees and 89 degrees with the body part 102 in order to bring about a properly resilient abutting contact with an insulation panel 6.
  • said angle is a right angle (90 degrees) falls within the scope of the present invention.
  • the body part together with the stop parts 103a, 103b is T-shaped.
  • seam profile 101 further comprises a connection strip portion 105 having, on the opposite side thereof, serrated edges 106.
  • the connection strip portion 105 extends at right angles to the body part 102, on one side thereof.
  • the seam profile 101 comprises two longer softlips 107, 108, comparable to softlips 52, 53 in figure 4 .
  • Figure 13 shows seam profile 101 in a practical application in which the seam 110 between two adjacent insulation panels 6 is optically neatly finished by the seam profile 101.
  • the insulations panels 6 are provided, during the manufacture thereof, with a longitudinal groove 111 in which the connection strip portion 105 can be inserted, and serrated edges 106 provide for a clamping abutting contact with the inner walls of the respective groove 111.
  • the insulation panel 6 on the right to which the seam profile 101 is secured can be moved in the direction of the arrow 112 so as to be placed adjacent the left insulation panel 6, thereby also causing softlip 104a to abut against the left insulation panel 6 so that the situation shown in figure 13 is obtained.
  • the softlips 107, 108 are deformed and abut against the circumference of the (left) insulation panel 6. If required, it is also possible to provide softlips, such as softlips 107, 108, on the other side of the body part 102, in order to achieve a further improvement of the insulating action of the seam profile 101.
  • Figures 14 and 15 show possible further improvements of the insulation at the location of the seam 110. These improvements are based on the insight that by impeding an airflow in the seam 110 from the so-called "cold" side at reference numeral 113 in figure 13 , the insulating effect of the insulation panels 6 can be effectively maintained to the extent possible. After all, seam 110 forms a potential path enabling air to pass the two adjacent insulation panels 6.
  • the insulation panel 14 comprises a foam tape 120. This foam tape 120 is applied throughout the length of seam 110 and can be applied during the manufacture of the insulation panel as well as at a later stage at the building site.
  • connection strip portion 123 is comparable to connection strip portion 105 and, in practical application, is inserted into groove 124 which is provided directly underneath the outermost finishing plate 7 at the edge of the insulation panel.
  • some material of the insulation panel 6 may have been locally removed at the location of ring 121, as a result of which the left half of ring 121 is recessed as it were in the insulation panel 6, which is also the case of foam tape 120 in figure 14 . In the latter case, also some material of the outermost finishing plate 7 has been removed. This has been done for the purpose of creating space for the foam tape 120.
  • figures 14 and 15 show more clearly than figure 13 that also some material of the insulation panel 6 has been removed between the innermost finishing plate 7 and groove 111 so as to create room for body part 101 with softlips 107, 108.
  • the embodiment according to figure 16 is a variant of the embodiment according to figure 15 .
  • Ring 121 does not form part of a separate sealing member 122, but of a seam profile 131 instead, which seam profile is comparable to seam profile 101 yet with a lengthened body part 132.
  • Figure 16 shows four softlips 133 on one side of body part 131.
  • softlips 133 may also be provided on the other side of body part 131, if required.
  • the softlips 133 may cause air compartments between adjoining softlips 133, by virtue of which heat loss or loss of cold can be reduced to a minimum.
  • Figures 14 through 16 also show an insulation panel comprising two opposing longitudinal sides which determine the thickness of the insulation panel, and comprising, between the longitudinal sides, a circumferential edge along at least a part of which an insulating strip is provided extending in the longitudinal direction of the circumferential edge.
  • the term "strip" is used to refer in particular to the elongated shape thereof, rather than to the cross-section thereof. Said cross-section may be, for example, rectangular ( figure 14 ) or round/oval ( figure 15 ).
  • the strip is preferably flexible, so that, despite dimensional tolerances of the insulation panels used, it can contribute to a proper abutting contact between adjacent insulation panels. It is also preferred that the strip is made of elastic material.
  • the insulating strip is, in general, provided near one of the two longitudinal sides, i.e. not in the centre of the thickness of the insulation panel.
  • the strip preferably forms part of a sealing member which is or can be inserted into a groove made in the insulation panel.
  • This sealing member may also comprise finishing parts which, in practical application, abut on the inside (i.e. the side facing the space) against the insulation panel for optically finishing the seam between two adjoining insulation panels.
  • the sealing member is preferably a tight fit in the groove.
  • the present invention also relates to an insulation panel comprising two opposing longitudinal sides which determine the thickness of the insulation panel, and comprising a circumferential edge between the longitudinal sides, a groove being formed in at least a part of said circumferential edge, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the circumferential edge.
  • Said groove is preferably formed near one of the two longitudinal sides, i.e. not in the centre of the thickness of the insulation panel, and preferably directly underneath a finishing panel of the insulation panel provided on a longitudinal side of the insulation panel.
  • the insulation panel comprises, in the circumferential edge, at the location of the insulating strip, a recessed portion, so that mutually facing circumferential edge portions of adjoining insulation panels can abut contiguously outside the area of the strip.
