Description

Hardware to cover the wall

The invention relates to an apparatus for covering a wall, which comprises a support arrangement which is arranged in connection with a substantially vertical wall and a support arrangement for supporting the wall, such as for hooding, supported on it. The support arrangement includes an upper hanging frame 10 for supporting the sheath arrangement relative to the wall or wall portion to be covered and a lower frame member for anchoring the supporting arrangement to the ground. The apparatus is intended in particular to cover the facade of the building for construction operations so that an environmentally protected working space is formed between the mantle arrangement 15 and the wall of the building.

For example, in facades, seam renovations, or window repairs, it is necessary to cover the facade 20 of the building during construction operations so that an environmentally protected working space is formed between the sheathed structure to be protected and the wall of the building. At present, assembling a scaffold with a shingle structure to be attached to it is a very laborious and time-consuming operation, since a large amount of building materials and equipment, such as cranes, etc. are required for installation.

<M

the entire width of the wall or the whole of the building should be covered, which will be detrimental to both the living quarters and the businesses that may be conducting business in the building. Depending on the size of the building to be handled, the installation and dismantling of the earth-sheathed structure, including the transport of the materials and supplies thereof, will take at least a few days, in addition to the type of arrangement described above often necessitate traffic arrangements. In addition, maintaining a sufficiently warm working space on the wall of a building, e.g., which is uniformly limited throughout its width, is particularly difficult in winter conditions, since the heat is spread throughout the covered space. For this reason, it is not always possible to continue working because the working space cannot be sufficiently heated.

From EP 1460202 and US 5,778,999, both are known apparatus for covering a wall, comprising a support arrangement disposed in connection with a vertical wall and a sheath arrangement supported thereon. These solutions are based on unified tubular rod structures assembled in connection with the wall of a building, which are also supported at the top by a roof structure.

The disadvantages of the solutions according to the above-mentioned publications 20 are their laborious installation, as stated above in the context of the prior art.

The purpose of the apparatus of the present invention is to provide a decisive improvement on the problems set forth above and thus to substantially increase the state of the art. To accomplish this purpose, the apparatus according to the invention is essentially characterized in that, at a distance ci from the outer surface of the wall, the suspension frame is arranged to rest on a ceiling structure above the wall to be covered by the first support arrangement;

X

A second support arrangement for attaching to the frame member to provide a torque arm at a distance from the height of the suspension frame attachment plane en § 35 to a force-transmitting first support and to the front support edge of the suspension frame, , ropes, cables and / or the like.

The main advantages of the apparatus according to the invention are the simplicity and efficiency of the device base and its use, firstly, because it enables to carry out wall operations in shorter width zones at a time. There is no need to cover e.g.

10 entire facades of the building at one time with massive scaffolding, which means that the functionality of the building and its surroundings is not as bad as the current arrangements. Thus, a key advantage of the invention is that it does not require a conventional earth-moving scaffolding but that, for example, hanging scaffolds, other lifts and / or smaller auxiliary scaffolds can be worked inside the shield.

It is also possible to utilize the apparatus according to the invention by simultaneously operating two or more parallel apparatuses in such a way that one or more working areas to be subsequently operated can be heated / dried prior to the operations to be performed on them. The equipment according to the invention can be assembled at its best in less than an hour, which effectively minimizes the pre-preparation steps of the respective construction measures and thus

CM

^ also significantly improved work efficiency.

Another advantage of periodic construction measures in the width direction of the building is that the covered working space in each case is not too wide, which enables it to be kept sufficiently cold even in cold conditions> .... ...

35a equipment with the most suitable, for example overpressure or similar heating arrangements. Due to the simple principle of operation of the apparatus according to the invention, its utilization is not limited e.g. to building contractors, etc., but it is also possible to utilize it by individuals, for example, in residential houses and the like. In addition, the apparatus according to the invention is suitable for use in, for example, docking stations, etc. even in these environments, crucially improving safety and comfort at work. Thus, one of the major advantages of the apparatus according to the invention is that it extends, for example in the Nordic conditions, the season of certain types of construction works by up to about seven months at best.

Other preferred embodiments of the apparatus according to the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
