FI82114C - PREFABRICATED PANELVAEGG. - Google Patents

Abstract

A pre-fabricated panel wall is composed of posts, each of which consists of two profile bodies (2), preferably of wood, of substantially T-shaped cross-section, which are kept together by two sheet metal elements (1) bent to form a channel and having side edge portions engaging narrow slits in the central portions of the profile bodies which face each other. The sheet elements in combination with the edge flanges (4) of the profile bodies form grooves (3) in which side edge portions of panels (5) are received. The panel wall is easy to erect and inexpensive to manufacture because it permits extensive standardization of the constituent elements.

Description

1 82114

The present invention relates to a prefabricated panel wall of the type definition of claim 1. All types of sheet materials can be used in such panel walls and only need to be cut to size without edge profiling.

Panel walls of the present type are known, for example, from SE patent 211 729, DE application 1 806 626 and U.S. patent 3 043 609. In these known panel walls, the posts are metal profiles made of bent metal sheet and extend from floor to ceiling so that individual fitting hampered by the quality of the material. From a fire engineering point of view, there is the disadvantage that there is a highly thermally conductive connection between the different sides of the panels, and from an aesthetic point of view it is disturbing in many cases that the posts include visible metal strips.

The object of the invention is to provide a prefabricated panel wall of said quality which can be erected in an easy and inexpensive manner and which has advantageous properties both technically and aesthetically.

This object is achieved due to the fact that the panel wall is formed as shown in the characterizing part of claim 1. In this construction, the profile pieces can be made of wood or other easily machinable material, for example a suitable plastic which is thermally insulating and which allows the visible parts of the posts to be individually adapted to both the shape and the surface treatment. In addition, the posts form box profiles with a preferred strength / weight ratio.

When using floor and ceiling moldings, as set out in the type definition of claim 2, the profile pieces do not need to be attached to these moldings 2 because the bent sheets hold them together. The structure shown in the characterizing part of claim 2 is advantageous in that the bent plates can be produced in constant lengths without the need for a single fit, and the finished wall forms a through space in which, for example, installation cables can be placed.

Claim 3 discloses a structure which is advantageous in terms of strength.

The use of elongate bent plates to hold the profile pieces together allows these pieces to be divided as set out in claim 4. This provides additional advantages over mass production.

Claims 5 and 6 show two different embodiments of bent plates. These, too, can possibly be split lengthwise and spaced apart.

The drawing shows an embodiment of a panel wall according to the invention in horizontal section and vertical section, Figures 1 and 2, and are shown in more detail below with reference to these figures.

In the drawing, 2 means vertical profile pieces, preferably of wood, with a predominantly T-shaped cross-section, with the legs facing each other. Both profile pieces are held together by two metal plate elements 1 bent to form a substantially U-shaped channel, the branches being bent at an angle and their outer edges protruding into narrow slits running longitudinally in the middle of the profile pieces 2. The inner parts of the branches of the plate elements together with the edge flanges 4 of the profile pieces form grooves 3 into which the side edges of the wall panels 5 protrude.

As shown in Fig. 2, the profile pieces 2 and the panels 5 3 82114 abut against the sides of the floor and ceiling moldings 6. In the embodiment shown, the length of the plate elements 1 is such that they are mounted so that there is a free space above and below them in which electrical conductors or the like can be placed.

The panels 5 can be of different materials, for example wood, glass, gypsum board or asbestos. It is also possible to place the insulating material in the space between the panels in the usual way.

Claims (6)
