Description

Shoring device for wall elements
The present invention relates to a device making it possible to quickly support all elements such as: "Placo-walls", "Polyplac", "Placoplâtre", or any other similar material having to be applied vertically by gluing on all supports, namely: walls masonry, concrete, etc ...

 When a construction is carried out completely in its G.O. (structural work) concrete structure, masonry, floors, framework and roofing, or terrace, exterior and interior joinery installed, interior distribution partitions, executed; in most cases, thermal insulation is then carried out on the peripheral walls, interior face, of the said construction, which may be a detached house, a building; for residential, office or industrial use.

 This so-called thermal insulation is carried out using composite panels B, the installation of which is carried out vertically by human hands and by gluing against the part F on which the said panels B are fixed, after having applied them. , these are usually maintained during the setting of the glue, using rudimentary shoring in wood, the empirical and random manner of which significantly increases labor time and without any guarantee of effectiveness.

 The present invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks, and to achieve this, its object is a shoring device which now makes it possible to avoid any loss of time, by its speed of installation, its rationality and being able to perfectly meet the efficiency criteria required by the vertical installation of all B wall elements.

 The said invention is characterized in a straight tubular system composed of several elements 8,9,11, of which 11 slides in 9 and 8 serves as a support leg, when the latter is deployed.

 Each of said rectilinear tubular elements 8, 9 and 11 comprises different pieces of equipment facilitating the installation and rapid fixing of this device, taking the ground C of the construction carried out for seating, by means of metal retaining dowels E commonly used in building.

The installation and final positioning of the wall panels B can now be carried out quickly in a certain manner, as for the perfect adhesion of the latter, on all supports F, as described above; by installing the device according to the invention, which is perfectly feasible since it will suffice to deploy it, after having unlocked the straight tubular element 8 serving as a support leg in a vertical position, loosening the threaded sleeve I2, and then adjusting the straight tubular elements9 and 11 by sliding from 11 into 9 to the length desired for this purpose and in an oblique position. The plate I7 pivots on the axis I8 located at the end of the element 11 will be fixed by nailing in the holes 22 provided for this purpose, on a wooden beam D placed horizontally in the intermediate part on the wall panels B, holding several of them vertically against the support wall F (masonry, concrete and others ). The fixed base plate 7 of the rectilinear tubular element 8 will be maintained on the ground C, by the metal retaining pegs E, it will be the same for the pivoting plate 1 on the axis 3 located at the end of the 'straight tubular element 9. The keys or locking pins I4 are provided for fixing the adjustment by means of the holes 15 appearing on the element 11 and to stiffen the whole device, when the threaded sleeve I2 is sufficiently tightened on the spindle 14, having for final effect an optimum application of the wall elements B on the support wall
F, favoring the uniform setting of the adhesive.

The embodiment of the present invention described above by way of example, is in no way limiting with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
On board I / 3, Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the device folded and locked at its base, offering a monolithic assembly before or after its use
On plate 2/3, Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the device deployed and put in place for use.

 On board 3/3, Figure 3 is a detailed view showing the exploded view of the device, with the presentation numbered from I to 22 of each of the components.

 The material of which the device according to the invention is made is mainly metallic, but could possibly be of any other material, sufficiently resistant, of appropriate sections, including the profiles constituting the main structure of the device in question; may be other than tubular.

The supporting walls F constituting the important structures of a building already constructed, are produced in a conventional manner, for example: from bricks, concrete blocks or concrete, and in this case, as indicated in the drawing in FIG. 2, plate 2/3, the device was put in place to hold the wall elements B during the setting of their glue on the support wall
F.

 It should be noted that the device according to the invention can maintain several wall panels B by virtue of the wooden beam D known as distribution.

 It will also be noted that the device is securely held on the ground C, at its base, by means of the metal retaining pegs E, sunk deeply to the head forming a wedge, in the ground C, thus trapping the plates I and 7 by l 'Intermediate holes 4 through which these said pegs E must pass its may possibly be inserted ae small wooden wedges, promoting tightening.

 The perfect tension of the device according to the invention is obtained by tightening the threaded sleeve I2, connecting the straight tubular element 9 to the straight tubular element 11, all of the latter being in an oblique position relative to the ground C and to the wall elements B as indicated in FIG. 2, on plate 2/3, where the apparatus is in use.

According to the invention, the device comprises several rectilinear tubular elements 8, 9 and 11, each equipped with various accessories described below.
The straight tubular element 8: includes several pieces of equipment, such as
A fixed seat plate 7 welded at its base, perforated with holes 4, intended to receive the metal retaining pegs E.

 An axis 18 crossing right through in its upper part a hole I9; the said axis I8 is designed to receive a U-shaped piece or collar 20 which has to pivot around it, the straight tubular element 11 must pass through this said collar 20, the two branches of which are connected together by a flat iron 21, thus encircling said element 11 which can slide in this collar 20 provided with a hole passing through the two branches to receive one of the locking pins I4, thus neutralizing the straight tubular element 11, on the one hand, and the said straight tubular element 8 on the other hand, forming a support leg in a vertical position when the desired adjustment of the assembly of the device according to the invention is obtained.

 The rectilinear tubular element 9: has at its base a pivoting seat plate 1, perforated with holes 4, intended to receive the metal anchoring pins E a one piece in the shape of a U or yoke 2, secured to said plate d 'swivel seat 1; this assembly of plate 1 and yoke 2 pivots on an axis 3 passing right through the lower part of this straight tubular element 9 thanks to a hole 5. This principle makes it possible to obtain in optimum freedom the optimum grip on the ground C, depending on the obliquity of the device.

 A hook 6 is also welded in the lower part of said element 9, in order to ensure the locking of the whole device when it is in its closed phase before or after its use, thanks to one of the holes 4 whose fixed seat plate 7 is perforated.

 At the head or at its upper end, the end piece of this rectilinear tubular element 9 is threaded, this IO thread is designed to receive a threaded adjustment and tightening sleeve I2, the latter fitted with handles I3 favoring the maneuvers.

The straight tubular element 11: also includes various pieces of equipment such as
Holes I5 intended to receive the locking pins I4, these moving freely along said element 11 as long as they have not been introduced into one of the holes I5. I1 must be specified that each of the two pins I4 has a very specific function, that of the bottom serves as a stop for the threaded sleeve I2 when tightening the latter, connecting the present straight tubular element 11 by sliding it in the tubular element rec tiligne 9 that at the top to neutralize the U-shaped collar 20.

 At the upper end of said element 11, existence of a pivoting assembly composed of an axis I8 passing right through a hole I9, this said axis I8 serving as a pivot to a clevis I6 itself connected to a seat plate 17 perforated with holes 22 provided for receiving fixing nails, which will secure said pivoting seat plate I7 to the wooden beam D. This principle makes it possible to obtain in complete freedom, optimum adhesion against said beam D, in depending on the tilt of the device.

Process for setting up the shoring device for wall elements, in accordance with the invention: to support as rationally as possible all wall elements B, more or less composite, which have just been put in place vertically and by gluing on support walls F, such as masonry, concrete or other, it is necessary to apply a sufficiently strong pressure in the intermediate part of said wall panels B, thus ensuring a uniform application and setting of the glue, of the latter against the support parts F .

 To do this, the device according to the invention perfectly meets these different criteria, thanks to its design; the device is in its closed and locked phase as indicated on plate I / 3 in FIG. 1.

 The first operation consists in loosening the threaded sleeve 12 using the handles I3, thus releasing the straight tubular element 8, the base fixed base plate of which is perforated with holes 4, one of which serves to fix the locking hook 6.

 Then, said element 8 is deployed in a vertical position, as for the rectilinear tubular elements 9 and 11, we manage to give them a certain inclination relative to the ground C, by leaving more or less the male element 11 of the female element 9, having taken care to engage the locking pin I4 (the bottom one), in one of the holes I5 appearing on element 11, this so-called pin I4 must serve as a stop for the threaded sleeve I2; simultaneously, the second locking pin I4 (the one at the top) will also be engaged in the U-shaped collar 20, as close as possible to the head of the device according to the invention, ie near the pivoting seat plate 17.

These various operations carried out, the seat plates I and 7 will immediately be fixed to the ground C using the metal retaining pegs Edevant to pass through the holes 4 provided for this purpose, and to drive these said pegs E deep into the ground C to their head acting as a wedge
During these various handling operations, wall panels B will be presented horizontally and in the intermediate part, the wooden beam D known as distribution beam, on which we will also have fixed the pivoting seat plate I7, by nailing through the holes 22 provided at this usage
All this well established, the entire device according to the invention is then tensioned, by tightening the threaded sleeve 12 on the spindle I4 making a stop, thus the whole of the apparatus becomes rigidly solidified, by the various competitions of reaction of the ground C, consequently the wall elements B serving as support points and always slightly curved before their final installation, end up applying uniformly and effectively against the support wall F, as indicated on the board 2/3 in fig 2.
