Abstract

The main area of application of the arrangement according to the invention is in the building industry. The arrangement is to be installed as a modular system in rooms of buildings comprising only the outer boundaries including the bearing floors and ceiling construction. With it, the object is to be achieved of being able to perform within the building a predeterminable surface division by arranging the area in a grid in accordance with a preselectable module and thereby of providing the possibility to create, by joining together any desired number of space units predetermined by the grid, living, business or manufacturing space of the size and layout desired in each case. An arrangement according to the invention consists of frame constructions which are to be arranged or are arranged at a predeterminable or predetermined distance from one another and correspond to the building-room cross-section in shape and dimensions and which have a channel-like cross-section suitable for receiving supply lines, which frame constructions are provided along their lateral edges with supporting faces or fastening means for the elements or materials forming or covering the floor, ceiling or partition walls, and each of which has a floor profile part (3) to be anchored in or to the floor, a ceiling profile part (1) to be suspended from the ceiling construction and two side-profile parts (2) detachably connected or to be detachably connected to the end parts of these profile parts (1, 3) (Fig. 2). Further profile parts (3') with a channel-like cross-section can extend perpendicularly to these frames (1, 2, 4).

Description

 The present invention relates to an improved integral system for distributing space and area in the building sector.

 The integral system proposed by the invention is specially designed as a modular system whose application is intended for the building sector, that is to say, that, starting from any building of which one would only have the internal boundaries , including the floor and the ceiling, it is possible to achieve an ordered division of the surface using the system proposed by the invention. This is possible because with such a system we obtain that the surface is divided into ordered elementary spaces, so that by taking a variable number of them we can manage to constitute habitable units of n ' It does not matter what dimension. There is also the possibility of dividing one or more of the spaces into elements parallel to the forming trajectory in order to obtain habitable units of variable dimensions and in indistinct situations; said living spaces being, in any case, integrated in a reticle whose base of constitution is formed by said ordered elementary spaces.

 In this sense, if we are for example facing the base area of a building and want to distribute it, we will determine a ring formed by the intersection of a plane normal to the surfaces which delimit it, with said surfaces (floor, ceiling and walls). This ring will be materialized by rigid and empty elements joined together by their ends. In this way, by placing the rings along the surface to be distributed, we will obtain the elementary spaces from which, by addition or subdivision, we will be able to constitute habitable units of any division and shape.

 The rigid sections which materialize the sides of the rings are hollow in order to be used as various pipes, having adequate means to be able to be united to the adjacent sections of the ring of which they are a part, for the installation of communication elements between rings or subdivision of spaces, as well as the placement of auxiliary materials, such as for example decorative or filling elements.

 The structure to constitute the floor, the ceiling and the partitions will be formed in all cases from profiles of distinct configuration which will be supplemented by the adequate elements like filled panels, insulating, built, etc ... All this is perfectly designed in order to constitute a system considerably improving what was known until now, obtaining in addition a considerable economy compared to other systems created for a same purpose.

In view of the drawings that we have just commented on, we see how the integral system of distribution of spaces and surfaces in the building sector, is fundamentally based on the creation of elementary spaces limited and defined by means of rings , as drawings 1 and 2 clearly show. Each of these rings adapts by means of a ceiling profile (1), a floor profile (3) and a profile for each vertical pillar (2), so that each of these parts will be describe independently, as well as the assembly between them.

 The plandher profile, represented in drawing 3, is formed through the provision or the adequate placement of four different profiles, one of them of configuration in "U" and receiving the name of main profile (4) . It represents a fold of its lateral branches, thus determining the horizontal wings (5) at an approximately average height of the said lateral branches. On these horizontal wings (5) come to bear the elbow ends of a reverse "U" profile (6), at the same time, this also serves as a support for another similar part (7) of the same configuration, without its bent side branches and having a central and longitudinal rib in the manner of a rectangular groove (8) which is precisely the means of support on the profile (6). There is a slight separation cover between them, just like the one existing between the profile (8) and the own main profile (4).

 Separation spaces are for their part filled with covering material, such as for example carpet or other similar material.

For its part on the bottom or what is called the central branch of the profile (4) one fixes an inverted "P" profile (9), while at regular intervals the lateral branches of this same main profile have sockets (10) in order to obtain a better fixing of this profile to the mass constituting the floor itself (11), whether it is concrete, stamped, etc. and provided with the necessary resistance accessories, isolation, etc ...

 The assembly which constitutes the profiles (6) and (7), which are arranged in length on the main profile (4), constitutes the means on which the profile or the profiles will have to be assembled according to the vertical pillars, these being in turn made up each of them by profiles in "C" (12) placed in op position by the central branches, as can be clearly seen in the drawings 5 and 6, so that on the wings of the assembly formed by the profiles (12) the corresponding panels (13) which are to constitute the partitions are screwed on. The junctions of the panels must be completed (13) by means of plates (14); provided on their internal face, there are for this purpose wings (15) as a function of the slides intended for the socket and for their sliding between the lateral openings determined by the edges placed face to face with the lateral branches corresponding to the profiles in "C" (12) placed back to back between them.

 The fixing of each of the pillars thus formed on the profiles of the respective floor takes place by means of a rod screwed onto the lower edge of each of the pillars. This rod will cross the profiles (6) and (7) and will be fixed with a lock nut.

 On the opposite side, that is to say on the upper part of each pillar, the latter will join the corresponding ceiling. This union or junction will basically be made from a U-shaped profile (16) which is inverted and which has a pair of horizontal wings (17) which correspond with the angle that each lateral branch determines with the branch. central of the own profile, while the longitudinal edges of these same lateral branches are folded (18), each of them thus forming internal grooves which become a slide and wedging means for lateral appendages (19) which belong to a plate (20) thanks to which and by means of a stud (21) the own ceiling is suspended from the corresponding frame on the upper floor.

 On the horizontal wings (17) and on the own folds (18) of the profile (16) rest trays (22) which are metallic and which constitute the means on which the insulating and formative materials of the ceiling itself will be placed.

 On the underside of the ceiling thus formed is fixed in a transverse direction relative to the profile (16), a new metal profile (24) of quadragular section and having a central and longitudinal opening (25) on its underside, serving guide and wedging means to a part (26) provided with pins (27) which are fitted between the branches of the "C" profiles which constitute the pillars, the ceiling being thus perfectly fixed on said pillars or profiles in "C", while in parallel the profile (24) is housed between the separation determined by the panels (13) constituting the partitions.

 It is thus, in this way, that the assembly between the floor, the pillars and the partitions and the own ceiling is done perfectly, by virtue of the interlocking of the different elements or parts from one part to the other, resulting in a set determining the corresponding system to the poyen of which the distribution of spaces inside a built surface is done in a remarkably simple and safe way at the same time.

 As for the ceiling (23) itself, as drawing 7 shows, it can itself be provided with the desired luminaires or those which one needs, being able moreover to be those which receive the name of concaves ( 28), like those which appear on drawings 11 and 12, or be convex (29), as shown in drawings 13 and 14. In both cases, they are made from suitable profiles for their fixing just like the plates support (22) on the own profile (16).

 In this way, as well through the profiles from which the floor is constituted, as those which determine the structure of the ceiling and the pillars, it will be seen that they have a sufficient number of vertical openings that horizontal to be able to determine voids through which one can easily install both the water or gas pipes, as the corresponding electrical network, since the rings constitute rigid and hollow sets communicating with each other and having taken for said conduits. Thus, between each of the homologous elements of consecutive rings, there will be placed panels, boards or plates which will form a uniform surface, wall, ceiling or floor, the areas of these surfaces which would coincide with the profile. or with the pillar, being covered with strips whose visible face would be homogeneous with the surface of which it forms a part.
