ORGANIZATION AND METHOD FOR HANDLING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

The invention relates to an arrangement as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for treating structural elements as defined in the preamble of claim 7.

Hereinafter, the arrangement and method according to the invention will be referred to collectively as the solution according to the invention. The steel structural and large surface area structural elements of the present invention, such as wall elements, are well suited, among other applications, as a ballistic shield for providing shield protection, for example, for military use. The solution according to the invention consists of interconnected structural elements, for example acting as wall elements, stacked on top of each other for transport or stacked side by side and forming a self-supporting transport package, for example a container container of substantially standard size such as a 20 with what package.

A commonly used prior art ballistic barrier wall solution for military camps is to use large, for example, substantially cube or rectangular sandbags that are filled in place and assembled on top of and adjacent to each other by providing various wet-wall wall structures. The drawback is, among other things, the sluggish attitude c c J. Saki also do not withstand the sun, but decay over a period of 30 years. Ceramic and composite modular screening systems of ceramic and composite construction have been used according to the prior art, but which are much smaller, however, and have a significantly higher price per square meter. These usable

typically only for small protected sites, 2 and it is not practically possible to build a protective wall assembly around a large military camp.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks and to provide a practical and easy to move, assemble and disassemble structural element arrangement and method which makes it possible to make a large protective surface wall, for example providing a shield or other purpose. and which do not require separate transport packages when transporting the structural elements. The arrangement according to the invention is characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1. Correspondingly, the method according to the invention is characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing part of claim 7. Other embodiments of the invention are characterized by what is set forth in the other claims.

An advantage of the solution according to the invention is the ease of handling and transportability of the structural elements 20, since the transport package is dimensioned so that it corresponds substantially, for example, to a standard 20 ft sea container. Thanks to its easy handling, the structural elements are easy and quick to move from one place to another, and likewise, the longitudinal walls of the structural elements, for example around military camps, can be easily and quickly constructed. Dismantling and moving the protective walls o is also quick and easy.

c \ J One clear advantage is that after unpacking the cost package ϊ 30, there is no extra material left, but all material can be moved to the under construction. Similarly, when the protective wall is dismantled, all material oo is transferable to a transport package formed of structural elements. It is also an advantage that the transport packet does not have any waste weights or wastage space except for the container angles for lifting the packet, since the structural elements are not inserted into any packing. Thus, the solution according to the invention also provides more protective wall squares per packet of structural elements than, for example, container construction elements placed in a container during transport. A further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that, due to the honeycomb structure, the protection level of the structural elements can be improved by gravel or sand roofing after erection of the structural elements.

The invention will now be described in more detail by way of one exemplary embodiment directed to the protective wall structure, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevational view of Fig. 3 is an enlarged and partially cut away detail of the structural elements according to the invention, superimposed and viewed from one end, showing the upper and second upper elements and the lower element, respectively;

FIG. In one transport package 1 there are three different structural elements: the upper structural element 3, the lowest 15 structural element 4 and five common structural elements 5 between the upper and the lowest structural element. by means of pin-like fastening members 6 which are pressed against each other substantially perpendicularly through the structural elements. Each of the structural elements 3-5 is dimensioned and made so strong that their own strength may have been used to enable the self-supporting of the transport package 1. At the corners of the upper 3 and the lowest 4 structural members of the transport package are container handling lugs, i.e. container corners 7, from which the transport package 1 is held, for example, by means of a container hoist or other suitable lifting device.

With the S5 device, the transport packet 1 is lifted, the air transported when the CVJ is raised and lowered.

Fig. 2 illustrates in more detail the three o 23 different structural elements according to the invention, viewed from the side 3-5 and substantially obliquely centered. Close to each corner of the structural elements 3-5 are sleeve members 11-513 arranged to pass substantially perpendicularly through the structural elements 3-5. The sleeve members 11-13 have a through hole 23 which at the same time forms a through hole through the structural element 3-5.

Each of the structural elements 3-5 of the transport package 1 has a first, mainly steel, wall panel 8 of substantially the entire structural element, which at the same time has an upper wall panel of the structural element, also referred to as an outer wall. At a distance from the first wall panel 8, there is a second wall panel 9 substantially similar in size and properties to the first wall panel 8, which in the transport package also has a lower wall panel of the structural element, also referred to hereinafter as an inner wall. The wall plates 8 and 9 are interconnected by a honeycomb structure 22 which at the same time stiffens the wall structure. The cores of the cellular structure 22 are oriented substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the structural element 3-5. Here, they are so directed that, when the structural element 3-5 is in its normal operating position, i.e., standing on its substrate, such as on its other long side, the core 22 of the honeycomb structure is formed by substantially downward channels. or the gravel always flows downwards and is also easily emptied from the structural element. The ends of the structural elements 3-5 have fixed end plates 14, ω 9 which are recessed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element so that the ends of the wall plates 8 and 9 form an end 30 of the plates in the direction of the wall plates 8 and 9. protruding flanges 14a substantially the height of the wall plates 8 and 9 or end-protruding structures corresponding to the flanges o S. In addition, the structural elements 3 to 5 have removable top and bottom panels 17, 18 between the wall panels 8 and 9, which are substantially similar to each other. The cover and bottom plates 17, 18 are fastened between the wall plates 8 and 9, for example, by means of pin fasteners which are easy to remove.

5 Each of the structural elements 3-5 has four sleeve members 11-13 disposed near the corners of the elements. The spacings 11-13 of the sleeve members 11-13 in the various structural elements 3-5 are substantially the same so that when stacked the superstructure elements 3-5 overlap, all sleeve elements 10-11-13 are superimposed and a through hole 23 in the middle of the sleeve elements 11-13 a tapered fastening member 6 with screw threads passing through stacked structural elements 3-5 at each end.

The four sleeve members 11 in the uppermost structural member 3 of the transport package 1 are disposed through the structural member 3 such that in the transport position the first end of each sleeve member 11 extends substantially flush with the upper surface of the upper plate 8 of the structural member 3. Correspondingly, the other end of the sleeve member 11 extends substantially past the lower surface of the lower plate 9 of the structural element 3, thereby forming an outwardly tapering outer cone 11b from the wall surface. Furthermore, the upper surface 8 of the upper plate 8 of the upper structural element 3 has a container angle 7 for handling the transport package in all corners 25.

Correspondingly, in the lower structural element 4 of the transport package 1, the ends of each sleeve member 13 extend only past the upper wall panel 8 to the outside of the wall panel, where each sleeve member 13 has an inner cone 13a. Below the lowest structural element 4 5, the other end of the sleeve member 13 extends substantially flush with the lower surface of the lower wall plate 9. Furthermore, the lower surface of the lower plate 9 of the lowest structural element 4 has a container angle 7 for handling the transport package 1 at all corners. The lower structural element 4 also has guide rails 10 on the lower surface of the lower plate 9 for engaging the fastening means of the transport vehicle.

The angle 8 between the support legs 16 and the structural elements can be adjusted by changing the inclination of the support arms 15 and at the same time by changing the attachment point of the support arms 15 to the support legs 16. In this way, the structural elements 3-5 can be supported by the support legs 16 even in uneven ground. The cover plate 17 forming the upper edge pro-5 brick can be removed to fill the honeycomb space formed by the walls 8 and 9 and the internal honeycomb structure 22 between them with gravel or sand. Correspondingly, the bottom edge plate 18 forming the bottom edge profile can be removed so that the structural element can be emptied of gravel or sand to be filled. The cover and bottom plate 17, 18 are attached to the structural elements 3-5, for example by means of pin pins, as previously mentioned.

It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but may vary within the scope of the following claims. Thus, for example, the structural elements may be stacked in a manner different from that described above and transported in a form other than a container. For example, the structural elements can also be assembled in a transport package on one of their long sides in a substantially vertical position and adjacent to each other, thereby securing each other to a self-supporting transport package. In this case, it is sufficient for each of the outermost structural elements to have container angles or the like for lifting, transporting or lowering the transport package.

In addition, the structural elements may be secured to each other during transport or use in a manner other than those described above. Instead of the surface bolts, the means for securing the structural elements in the transport package may also be such that they always have only two adjacent or superimposed elements attached to each other, however, so that in the end the transport package has several structural elements attached thereto. as a whole. Likewise, a transport package can ci? there should be different supports between the structural elements. What is essential, however, is the self-supporting ϊ 30 structure and ease of handling of the transport package to be assembled.

o o 5) It is also clear to a person skilled in the art that the structural elements oo § may be made of a material other than steel.

They may also contain, for example, ceramic 10 or other components and materials that are highly protective against shards, in addition to steel.

It will be further apparent to one skilled in the art that the structural elements 5 may have different thicknesses than those described above. Thus, thinner structural elements can accommodate more than five pieces, e.g., 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, between the outermost or top and bottom structural elements in the transport package. Similarly, less than five pieces of thicker structural elements 10, such as 1, 2, 3 or 4, can fit between the peripheral or the highest and lowest structural elements in the transport package.

It will also be apparent to one skilled in the art that structural-15 elements are suitable for purposes other than ballistic protective walls. The solution according to the invention works well in, inter alia, movable protective walls, which can be used for example to prevent the rise of flood water or landslides. Correspondingly, with the solution 20 of the invention, temporary walls can be constructed for many other purposes, for example for presentations or fairs, etc. The structural elements according to the invention are also suitable for use in various buildings, for example. In addition to wall elements, they are also well suited as floor and ceiling elements. c \ j δ ^ It is also clear to a person skilled in the art that
