Description
DOUBLE LAYER WALL SYSTEM AND PROFI LE ELEMENT FOR A DOUBLE LAYER
WALL SYSTEM
DESCRI PTI ON
The present invention relates to a double layer wall system, a prof ile element for a double layer wall system, a set for preparing a double layer wall system and a method for preparing a wall system and/or prof ile element.
Document WO 2008/087009 A1 describes a profile element being used for the construction of , e.g. light weight partition walls. One wall sectionis fastened to a first f lange of the prof ile element and the other fastened to a second f lange of the prof ile element . A "double layer" wall is a wall with two layers of wall sections, (e.g. plasterboards) being arranged on top of each other (in contact with each other) . Such double layer walls enhance the stability of the
corresponding wall system . Known prof ile elements are (e.g. vertically oriented) supporting components (studs) which absorb and transmit forces (mainly) in the direction of the longitudinal axis. Typical prof ile elements have a C- or U-shape comprising two f lange sections which are connected by a web. Wall sections, e.g. gypsum plasterboards are usually f ixed to the flange regions (screwed, riveted, nailed or fastened by some other means) . I n order to provide a double layer wall it is known to fasten a f irst wall section to one of the flanges of the profile element and a second wall section , through the first wall section and into the corresponding f lange of the profile element . This arrangement is often repeated on the other f lange of the profile element. Such conventional double layer systems improve the stability of wall systems, wherein the thickness of the wall system is increased.
I t is an obj ect of the present invention to propose a double layer wall system with a high degree of stability and a comparatively low thickness. Moreover, it is an obj ect of the present invention to provide a corresponding prof ile element , a set comprising a prof ile element and at least one wall section and a production method for producing a double layer wall system and/or prof ile element .
According to the invention, a double layer wall system particularly comprises at least one profile element having at least one first fastening surface and at least one second fastening surface, wherein an offset is provided between the f irst and second fastening surfaces, at least one first wall section , in particular first plasterboard, being fastened to the f irst fastening surface, and at least one second wall section , in particular at least one second plasterboard, being fastening to the second fastening surface, wherein the f irst and second wall sections are arranged on top of each other. The term "on top of each other" shall preferably be understood as meaning that the respective elements are in direct contact. However, it is possible that an intermediate layer (e.g. coating layer or metal sheets or the like) is arranged between the respective elements. I n any case, the term "on top of each other" shall exclude the provision of a ( large) cavity between the respective elements. The distance of the first wall section and the second wall section shall be preferably less than 4 mm, further preferably less than 2 mm, further preferably less than 1 mm . The offset is preferably between 5 mm and 30 mm, further preferably between 8 mm and 1 8 mm, further preferably between 1 2.5 mm and 1 5 mm.
A core idea of the invention is a prof ile element with two fastening surfaces so that two wall sections can be (each) fastened to the profile element so that the wall sections are arranged on top of each other in order to form a double layer. Since each wall section is fastened (directly) to the profile element , the stability is improved. At the same time, the thickness of the double layer wall system can be decreased. Preferably, any of the above (and below) mentioned fastening surfaces is/ are planar. Thereby, it is very easy to f ix a wall section to the prof ile element. Two of the above (or below) mentioned fastening surfaces may be (structurally) separated, in particular by a step and/or a further surface having an angle of 45 ° to 1 35 ° (e.g. 90 °) with respect to one and/or the other (adj acent) fastening surfaces.
Preferably, the profile element comprises at least a third fastening surface, which is preferably parallel , in particular flush-aligned with the second fastening surface. A third wall section ( in particular plasterboard) may be fastened to the third fastening surface. Second and third wall sections may be parallel , in particular f lush-aligned, preferably such that the second wall section , the third wall section and the first fastening surface form a continuing (planar) surface. The third fastening surface simplifies a fastening of a third wall section so that a continuing double layer wall can be prepared. I t is in particular possible that on
both sides of the profile element respective wall sections (the second and third wall section) can be fastened so that the double layer structure continues through the prof ile element.
The profile element may comprise at least one fourth fastening surface for fastening at least one fourth wall section . Moreover, the prof ile element may comprise at least one f ifth fastening surface for fastening at least one f ifth fastening element . Moreover, the profile element may comprise at least one sixth fastening surface for fastening at least one sixth wall section . Preferably, an offset is provided between the fourth fastening surface and the f ifth and/or sixth fastening surface. Moreover, preferably the fourth wall section and the f ifth and/or sixth fastening surfaces are arranged on top of each other. Moreover, preferably a cavity is formed between the second and/or third fastening surface on the one hand and the fourth and/or f ifth and/or sixth fastening surface on the other hand. By such measures, the stability of the double layer wall system is further increased without (substantially) increasing the overall thickness.
The second and/or third and/or fifth and/or sixth fastening surface may be located on an inner side of the first and/or fourth fastening surface. Preferably, the second and/or third and/or f ifth and/or sixth fastening surfaces are located in a cavity formed by the f irst and fourth fastening surface. Thereby, the thickness of the double layer wall system is comparatively small.
A thickness of the second and/or third fastening surface corresponds preferably with the f irst offset . Alternatively or in addition , a thickness of the f ifth and/or sixth fastening surface may correspond with the second offset . The term
"correspond" shall preferably mean that the parameters (thickness on the one hand and offset on the other) are of an equal amount. However, it is possible that a difference of the thickness minus the offset is 1 0% or less of the amount of the thickness. I n any case, a compact and rigid double layer wall system can be obtained.
At least a portion of the prof ile element may have a hat-shape ( in cross-section) . A "hat-shape" preferably means a structure with a central surface, two
intermediate surfaces having an angle of (45 ° to 1 35 °, e.g. 90 °) with respect to the central surface and two f urther surfaces, adj acent to the intermediate surfaces and having an angle with respect to the intermediate surfaces ( in particular of 45 °- 1 35 °, e.g. 90 °) . I t is preferred that the hat-shape portion is an
integral body. Preferably, the hat-shape portion is an overlay which may be fastened to a (conventional) C-prof ile. Thereby, it is possible to adapt a
(conventional) C-prof ile (or U-profile or I -prof ile) so that a double layer wall system can be obtained with a good stability and small thickness.
I n general, the prof ile element may comprise or consist of an overlay which may be connected or fastened to a (conventional) prof ile element (C- , U- or l -profile element) .
I n an embodiment , the profile element consists of an integral body. This shall preferably mean that the prof ile element is made of one piece (e.g. made of one metal sheet) . As an alternative, the prof ile element may be formed by two or more parts. I f the profile element is an integral body, it is very simple to produce a prof ile element with a high degree of stability. I f the prof ile element consists of two (or more) parts, it is preferred to have one or two hat-shaped overlays and an intermediate C-, U- , or l -prof ile element , in particular connecting the hat- shaped prof ile elements. Such a system is very variable. Moreover, an already consisting system can easily be upgraded.
Preferably, the (at least one) first and/or second and/or third and/or fourth and/or f ifth and/or sixth fastening surface are parallel to each other and/or planar.
As an independent aspect of the present invention, a profile element (preferably for the above-described system and/or as part of the above-described system) is proposed, for supporting at least one wall partition, in particular at least one dry wall plasterboard partition, comprising a web, a f irst f lange, a first fastening surface, at least a second and/or third fastening surface, wherein an offset is provided between the first fastening surface and the second and/or third fastening surface, and a second f lange as fourth fastening surface. Such profile element allows the preparation of a thin and stable double layer wall system .
Preferably, the second fastening surface is provided on the web. The third fastening surface may be provided at a distal end of the f irst f lange. A f ifth fastening surface may be provided on the web. A sixth fastening surface may be provided at a distal end of a second flange. Such measures f urther improve the stability of a double layer wall system without (substantially) increasing the thickness of the double layer wall system.
The second and/or third and/or fifth and/or sixth fastening surface may be planar. The second and/or third and/or fifth and/or sixth fastening surface may be parallel to the first flange and/or may be parallel to the second f lange and/or may be perpendicular to the web.
The second and/or fifth fastening surface may be formed by cutting out a portion of the prof ile element, in particular the web, and folding out the cut-out portion . I n general, the fastening surface may be formed by a proj ection (e.g.
rectangular) . I f a portion of the prof ile element is cut out and folded, it may be hinged f rom the profile element ( in particular web) , thereby providing a fixing point for a supporting (secondary) board. Such structure is easy to produce and provides a comparatively high stability. Preferably, the cut out portion is used as service cut out (e.g. for installations as signal and/or power lines) . I n such a case, the cut out portion serves two (completely) different f unctions, thereby simplifying the structure of the prof ile element. I n general, the invention comprises (as independent aspects) the use of a cut-out of a profile element ( in particular of the above described kind) for providing a fastening surface and, preferably, as service cut out and/or, preferably, for installations as (signal and/or power) lines. The second and/or third and/or f ifth and/or sixth fastening surface may be defined by a proj ection in particular formed by rolling a portion of the prof ile element, in particular the web. The rolled portion of the prof ile element may consist of a double layer (e.g. of metal sheets) so that an increased stiffness of the respective fastening surface is provided.
The profile element may be an integral body. Moreover, the profile element may be made of metal, in particular aluminium and/or aluminium alloy and/or steel.
As an independent aspect of the invention , a set, in particular for the above- described double layer wall system and/or comprising the above-described prof ile element, comprises a prof ile element having at least a f irst and a second fastening surface, wherein an offset is provided between the first and second fastening surface and at least one wall section, in particular plasterboard, having a thickness corresponding to the offset . Preferably, the offset is 5 mm to 30 mm, further preferably 8 mm to 1 8 mm, even f urther preferably 1 2.5 mm to 1 5 mm.
As an independent aspect of the present invention , a method for preparing a double layer wall system and/or a profile element includes the steps of : a) Providing a preliminary prof ile element comprising preliminary flanges as first and fourth fastening surface and a preliminary web;
b) Forming at least a second and/or third fastening surface on the preliminary prof ile element, in particular on the web and/or at a distal end of at least one flange.
The profile element may have a C-shape, a U-shape or an I -shape. The (first and/or second) offset may be 5 mm to 30 mm , preferably 8 mm to 1 8 mm , further preferably between 1 2.5 mm and 1 5 mm . The prof ile element may have a length of 1 5 cm to 400 cm. The profile element may have a maximum width (e.g. being defined by the maximum width of the web and/or the first and/or the second flange) of 30 mm to 200 mm, preferably 50 mm to 1 00 mm . At least one of the fastening surfaces (or several or all) fastening surfaces may have a maximum width of 1 5 mm to 40 mm, in particular 20 mm to 30 mm, preferably 25 mm. The profile element may have an (average) thickness ( material-thickness) of 0.3 mm to 2 mm . I n principle, it is possible to use the above-described profile element for a "single layer wall" (e.g. if a double layer partition wall is not necessary) .
An embodiment of the profile element may be structured as follows, wherein the different elements are arranged in the following order preferably directly connected with each other:
- A (rectangular) portion , def ining the third fastening surface;
- A (rectangular) portion , defining an intermediate portion and being
perpendicular to the ( rectangular) portion defining the third fastening surface;
