In this detailed description, the subject matter support member (20, 30) is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect in order to make the subject more understandable. Accordingly, as said support members (20, 30) are positioned into the composite wall brick (10), protection against ballistic weapons is provided.
The composite wall brick (10), whose general view is given in Figure 1 , essentially comprises a body (1 1 ); space parts (16) which are defined inside said body (11 ) and wherein the support members (20, 30) are placed; and compartment walls (12) which separate said space parts (16) from each other. The space parts (16), defined by said compartment walls (12), comprise connection extensions (13) embodied at the continuation of the body (11 ) so as to extend in a separate manner. In the body (1 1 ) part from where said connection extensions (13) extend, there is a seating frame (15) embodied along the periphery of the connection extensions (13).
A first support member (20) and a second support member (30) are placed to each space part (16) inside the wall brick (10). The positioning of said first and second support members (20, 30) in the space part (16) is provided firstly by the placement of the first support member (20) and afterwards by the placement of the second support member (30). As this positioning is provided, an exposed region is formed at a position provided above the second support member (30). Said region defines a connection part (14). Said connection part (14) is a region where the connection extensions (13) are seated during the stage of connecting the wall bricks (10) to each other so as to form a structure. The depth of the connection part (14) and the depth of the connection extensions (13) are the same. Thus, a firm connection can be obtained as the wall bricks (10) are connected to each other.
The first support member (20) essentially comprises a bottom body (21 ) and a body (22) embodied so as to extend at the continuation of each other. The seating region of said bottom body (21 ) is smaller than the seating region of said body (22). At the part where the bottom body (21 ) is connected to the body (22), a peripheral stage (23) is formed which results from the seating region which is wider. In the first support member (20), there are channels (24) embodied at a certain placement plan so as to extend both in the bottom body and in the body (21 , 22) along the length of the support member (20). Said channels (24) are embodied in a cylindrical form. The second support member (30) is different from the first support member (20) in that the second support member (30) comprises a single body (31 ). In said second support member (30), there are channels (32) which are embodied at a certain placement plan so as to extend along the length of the body (31 ). Said channels (32) are embodied in a cylindrical form.
As the support members (20, 30) are positioned in the space parts, the second support member (30) is placed onto the first support member (20). During this placement, the bottom body (21 ) of the first support member (20) is seating into the connection extension (13) of the wall brick (10). The body (22) is provided in the space part (16) at a position on the connection extension (21 ). During the placement, said stage (23) is placed to the seating frame (15). The bottom body (21 ) and the body of the second support member (30) have the same seating regions; and a perfect joining is provided during the positioning of the support members (20, 30) one above the other and the support members (20, 30) are extending inside the space part (16) as if they were one-piece. The channels (24, 32) provided in the support members (20, 30) are intersecting with each other and they exist along the length of the whole wall brick (10) which stays out of the connection part (14).
The channels (24, 32) of the support members (20, 30), disperse the pressure into the support members (20, 30) so as to prevent the harm to the wall brick (10) in case of a ballistic attack and said channels (24, 32) provide the pressure to be discharged from the wall structure. Since the channels (24, 32) have a circular cross section, the direction of the ballistic pieces can be changed during advancing of said ballistic pieces inside the support member (20, 30). Moreover, the direction changing of the ballistic pieces inside the support member (20, 30) depends on the cross sectional shape of the channels (24, 32) and also depends on the placement plan of the channels (24, 32). The placement plan of the channels (24, 32) is determined so that at least two channels (24, 32) are provided on the linear lines. Thus, during the movement of the ballistic pieces in the support member (20, 30), an efficient dampening can be provided since the ballistic pieces hit channels (24, 32) provided one after the other.
In cases of ballistic attack where support members (20, 30) are not sufficient, iron rods are placed into the channels (24, 32). These iron rods pass through the first and the second support members (20, 30) and they extend along the whole wall brick (10). Since the iron rods are positioned inside the channels (24, 32) according to a placement plan and since the ballistic pieces are moving by changing direction inside the support members (20, 30), the speed of the ballistic piece decreases and the effect of the ballistic piece is spread into the whole of the support member (20, 30). After the ballistic piece is hitting an iron rod provided in a channel (24, 32), the ballistic piece is directed towards another iron rod according to the placement plan; and the force of the ballistic piece is dampened. There may be two support members (20, 30), or the support member can be produced in a one-piece manner. In both cases, the operation of the support members (20, 30) will not change, however, in case of production in one-piece form, the costs of the press mold are increasing. Since this increases the cost of said support member (20, 30), the support members (20, 30) are produced in the form of two pieces which complete one another.
The composite material, of which the subject matter support members (20, 30) are made, is obtained by a molding method called SMC. The composite material comprises resin, fiber, filling materials and chemical additives. Resin is functioning as a binding material inside the composite structure. As a fiber, glass fiber is used for improving drawing and bending properties and for eliminating the brittle structure of resin.
Accordingly, a preferred formulation comprises at least one type of fiber at a proportion of 20 % for providing resistance to the composite material, at least one type of resin with a proportion of 25 %, mineral powder with a proportion of 45 % as a filling material, and chemical additive with a proportion of 10 %. In the composite material, a mineral powder is used which is selected from a mineral group comprising silicon dioxide, barite, talc and calcite as the filling material. In the composite material, the mineral powder, which is used particularly for providing resistance to the ballistic weapons, is barite and it forms 10 % of the material composition. As a chemical additive, at least one of the chemical substances is used, which increases resistance to abrasion, resistance to flame and which increases water absorption.
The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed Claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
