Description

The present invention relates to the field of construction. The invention

  relates more particularly to the creation of closed or open living spaces, such as a veranda,

  pergola, winter garden or residential annex.

  The invention is particularly applicable to the realization of closed or open premises constituting spaces annexed to a main house in the context of the search for an enlargement of the living space from a house, preferably a single house, by realizing , in particular by resting on a wall of the house, an annexed volume closed or open and usable, depending on the degree of insulation provided, in any season or possibly in a period

limited to sunny days.

  There is a permanent need for the inhabitant, in particular a single house with the possibility of clearing, on a courtyard or garden, to seek, as and

  measure of the rise in financial means or agri-

  family improvement improved comfort by a

increase in living space.

  This search for an increase in living space can be exercised in several directions, in particular the development 2 - of lost roof space, the construction of fitted cellars or even the construction of annex premises supported on a wall of the house and which can be widely open to the outside, in particular by the presence of large bay windows, which leads to the installation of verandas or

winter gardens.

  The external attached structures are generally made from reinforcing elements assembled on site and manufactured from various materials, in particular wood.

  or metallic profiles, in particular aluminum.

  It is however desirable, in the context of increasing

  sement of the habitable volume of a traditional stone house, to seek an aesthetic harmony between the added annex volume and the architecture and aesthetics

  general of the main house.

  This result is difficult to achieve with the implementation

  wooden and especially metal verandas which give the

  external pressure of an artificially added foreign body on the dwelling, especially when the latter responds to a regional style and is produced from

traditional materials.

  We can probably make verandas or additional living volumes from traditional hard materials, in particular stone, and we know for this purpose techniques using traditional processes and using construction elements for the erection of pillars in particular in the form of overlapping bushels, for example of reconstituted stone and into which can be poured, after

  placement of reinforcement, concrete.

  And the pillars can support hollow elements forming lintels with a decorative exterior appearance capable of -3 - also receiving, after placing horizontal reinforcement, a concrete pour; these conventional techniques have the drawback of long-term immobilization liable to disturb the life of the occupants; it is indeed necessary to have the props under the elements forming lintels and constituting lost formwork which must be kept in place for the necessary time

when "setting" the poured concrete.

  In addition, the production of concrete on site necessarily leads to the congestion related to the contribution of aggregates, bags of cement, their preparation etc. and also projections and traces suspected of detracting from the beautiful appearance of the front part of the housing; in addition, these techniques, which are necessarily long to implement, require the use of specialized personnel for a significant period of time and therefore represent a generally prohibitive cost price compared to the production of annexed residential spaces from elements

  prefabricated (wood or aluminum profile).

  The invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks and makes it possible to produce annexed living spaces of the verandas, pergolas or attached parts type, from modular elements assembled on the site and not requiring the pouring of concrete or cement and by therefore likely

  to be set up extremely quickly.

  The invention makes it possible, moreover, to produce, according to a second object, a support structure of beautiful appearance having the appearance of stone and therefore capable of harmonizing under conditions of total aesthetics and pleasing to the eye with the general aspect of the house when it is made from materials

  traditional and typical or regional architecture.

  -4- Finally, the invention thus makes it possible to put in place a bearing structure with a stone appearance which can itself receive all kinds of arrangements, thus making it possible to create a closed space on itself open to light or, on the contrary, concealed. by opaque walls or possibly completely open for the creation of terraces

  covered, closed, pergolas or additional rooms.

  To this end, the invention relates to a construction method for the realization of closed or open living spaces, such as veranda, pergola, winter garden or residential annex, of the type in which elements are assembled together. a frame suitable for possibly receiving insulating walls, in particular roofs, glazing or walls, and the method is characterized in that modular elements of tubular structure, possibly open, are prepared, formed of an inner metal core, in particular perforated and coated with '' an exterior facing, the elements are assembled end-to-end to the desired length, two adjacent elements being secured by engagement in particular of an internal splint straddling two elements, several assembled elements forming a frame, the said frames are assembled between they by means of junction knots, to produce said framework, the junction knots being made integral in addition their members and comprising for this purpose at least three feeders of identical configuration each to the member to be connected and on which each feeder is made integral by a

interior splint.

  The invention also relates to the modules intended for the implementation of the process and the modules are characterized by a closed or open tubular structure comprising an inner core formed at least of a layer of wire mesh metal structure on which is attached a moldable material, the mesh being embedded on the surface of the bore

2689551

  inside the module, the mesh structure and the moldable material embedded in this structure can be in the outer lining of a metal profile giving the module its

  structure and its mechanical resistance.

  The outer facing moldable material is made

  a hydraulic binder of the reconstituted stone type.

  According to one embodiment, the modules are of quadrangular section and have on the walls of their internal bore unevenness of rectilinear relief parallel to the general axis of the module, these unevenness of relief being

  able to cooperate with complementary relief inequalities

  shutters arranged on the connection plates.

  Also preferably, said unevenness in relief is formed of profiled grooves with a dovetail section, cooperating with grooves of complementary section arranged on the ribs and capable of being engaged by

  sliding on the internal grooves of the module.

  The invention relates more particularly to an assembly or kit for implementing the method and comprising: a) first modules of closed tubular structure capable of conforming by their vertical superposition a column or pillar, b) second modules of tubular structure open upwards able to cooperate with each other to conform by a horizontal abutment a cornice, or lintel, able to rest by means of two elements or knots of junction on two vertical columns, c) first ribs able to join the first structural modules closed tubular quadrangular -6- intended to form the columns, said splints being made up of a metal sleeve of external section corresponding with a small clearance to the internal bore of said first modules and thus able to be engaged inside first modules, the walls of the sleeve having for this purpose complementary grooves of the spokes ribs arranged on the walls of the interior bore of said first modules, d) and second fishplates capable of being engaged on second open tubular modules, said second fishplates being of quadrangular section and comprising on at least some of their walls grooves complementary to the grooves arranged on the walls located opposite the internal bore of said second modules.

  Advantageously, said second ribs for the realization

  tion of cornices from the abutment of the second modules have on their lower and lateral face dovetail grooves capable of being engaged on the complementary relief grooves provided on the inner bore of the second modules and said second fishplates have on a fourth upper face a hollow reserve capable of containing a rectilinear element, in particular of woody material, running along the cornice to receive the engagement of connecting means such as nails, screws, lag bolts, a upper element resting on said

  cornice and thus secured to the latter by means of

  median of said rectilinear element in woody material.

  More preferably, the second modules, intended for the production of cornices, have a vertical face on the front and oriented towards the outside, arranged in inclination

  and having decorative moldings.

  According to another development, the assembly for implementing the kit-forming method also comprises third modules forming junction nodes and able to connect on the one hand a vertical lower column and at least one and preferably two cornices horizontal lateral, said junction node comprises a tubular lower feeder able to extend and rest on an upper module of the column by engagement of a first vertical splint and two horizontal tubular feeders able to be each connected to a lateral ledge by two

second fishplates.

  According to yet another development, the modules, in particular the second modules for producing cornices, comprise on their underside one or more rails of which a rear part is embedded in the mass of the moldable material forming a facing, the rail comprising an overhanging facade beyond the wall forming the facing of the module consists of an open S-shaped groove capable of receiving a connection profile between the rails of the butted modules, the rails joined by this profile thus forming the frame of a frame for receiving or guiding a

  frame of a bay window, fixed, sliding or swinging.

  The invention also relates to a method for producing modules with a view to implementing the method and

  characterized in that a confection mold is placed in a

  desired guration comprising recessed or raised moldings intended to appear on the surface of the module, a molding plaster of the hydraulic type intended to constitute the facing with reconstituted stone effect, the plaster being disposed around the metallic core, in particular multilayer and formed of a mesh, more particularly of expanded metal, the rear face of which is oriented towards the inside of the mold.

  an insulating sheet, in particular of paper.

  The invention finally relates to a living space produced from the above method and implementing all of the

modules as specified.

  And more particularly, in the context of the realization of such a living space, it is expected that a hollow column will include a descent of rainwater collected by a gutter of the Nantes slab type, resting on the top of the cornices arranged at the plumb with the sewer of the roof

superior.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention

  will emerge from the description which follows and which is given in

  report with a particular embodiment presented in the accompanying drawings and in which Figure 1 shows a vertical sectional view taken

  substantially in the middle of a ledge.

  Figure 2 shows a detail view of the previous section. Figure 3 shows a perspective view with broken away

  partial of modules assembled to constitute a column.

  Figure 4 shows a perspective view with partial cutaway of a joint bar and modules

  horizontal for the conformation of cornices.

  Figure 5 shows a perspective view with partial cutaway of the top of a column and showing the start of a

cornice at right angles.

  Figure 6 shows a general perspective view of

  columns and cornices assembled according to the invention.

  According to all of the Figures, the first superimposable modules are used in the context of the invention to conform vertical columns; these modules 1, 1 'are

  particularly shown in detail in Figure 3.

  They have the general conformation of a rectangular bushel and they are assembled by vertical superposition by means of ribs constituting the ribs of a first type or first ribs 2 formed by a sleeve inserted in

  the internal bore of the first modules.

  According to Figures 1 and 4, the second modules are shown which are intended to conform by horizontal abutment the

  cornices then assembled on the columns.

  Each second module also has a quadrangular section open upwards. These second modules 3 can in turn be assembled by splints of the second type or second splices 4 also formed from inserted sleeves.

  in the internal bore of the second modules.

  The modules, both first modules and second modules, have a common structure of the ferro-cement type and consist of a frame itself formed by a mesh or perforated metallic structure disposed on the surface of the

inner wall of said modules.

  These gratings 5, 5 ′ are for example of the expanded metal type

  and can be shaped in several layers.

  On this reinforcement disposed on the inner surface of the hollow tubular module, is reported in particular by projection or more advantageously by molding a facing coating 6 formed of a hydraulic binder with appearance of the type

"reconstituted stone".

  - The reinforcement arranged on the surface of the inner wall of the hollow tubular modules can thus be filled and embedded by the mass of the binder 6, thus ensuring perfect

  solidarity and structuring of the whole.

  In known manner, each module can be produced in particular in a mold making it possible to conform, more particularly with regard to the second modules forming cornices, the

  exterior moldings and decorations on the facade wall 6 a.

  The coating can thus be shaped so as to produce the desired decorative contoured reliefs; the mesh 5 comprising on its rear face, opposite the penetration of the binder, a protective sheet in particular of paper which thus ensures the localization of the binder in the space arranged between the bottom of the mold (conforming the desired moldings and profiled reliefs) and the sheet of paper; after taking

  the assembly can thus be removed from the mold to obtain the

  closed or open tubular guration represented by each

module.

  The modules, both first modules and second modules, also have internal profiles or grooves coming from the screen structure and making

body with it.

  In manufacturing, the mesh structure indeed has reserved bands and of continuous structure which are folded in particular in dovetail to conform the grooves in

relief 7, 7 ', 7 ", 8, 8', 8".

  These dovetailed reliefs of continuous, therefore smooth structure, will allow the installation on two juxtaposed or superimposed modules, and belonging to the

  same type, joint bars.

1 il -

  The first splices or splints of the first type 2 which conform to the internal configuration of the modules of the first type or first modules intended for the shaping of pillars or columns have been provided for this purpose according to the invention. According to the example produced in the context of the implementation of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the internal mesh walls of the first module include the profiled grooves 8, 8 ′, 8 "which are shaped by the metal strips forming a body with the mesh located on either side of said strip of continuous structure and therefore having only a low coefficient of friction. The first type or first splice 2 has a complementary configuration corresponding with a low

  clearance to the inner bore of the first module 1.

  It is shaped as a sleeve, the four walls of which have grooves 9, 9 ', 9 "1 corresponding substantially and complementary to the grooves 8, 8', 8"

  arranged on the receiver modules.

  The engagement of the sleeve 2 forming a splint or first splint is done by sliding by force on the first receiver module 1 with subsequent engagement of the module

higher 1 '.

  Pinching the groove 9, 9 ′ in order to obtain a crimping effect after assembly ensures a joining

  closes the first stacked modules.

  The joining by horizontal abutment of two modules or second modules 3 by means of the splint of the second type

  or second splint 4 is shown in Figure 4.

  -12- The second module 3 open upwards and intended for the production of cornices comprises, as previously described, grooves 7, 7 ′, 7 "arranged on the respectively lower and lateral inner walls of its internal bore; as previously described, these longitudinal grooves came from continuous metal strips integral with the mesh elements 5 arranged on the wall of the internal bore and embedded in the binder 6

forming facing.

  These metal bands therefore offer, as previously indicated by commenting on FIG. 3, a low coefficient of friction and are easily engaged on the corresponding receiving grooves 10, 10 ′, 10 ″ and arranged on

  the walls of the sleeve forming the second splint 4.

  The latter comprises, open on its upper face 11, a hollow reserve 12 allowing the establishment of a longitudinal element 13 of woody material secured by nailing or screwing 14, 14 'and thus providing a face 13 a open upwards and allowing the reception of connecting means for example screw or lag screw 15 for the

  joining of superstructure elements.

  On the upper face 11 of the set of connecting sleeves can come to rest a gutter 16 in the form of an aesthetic "Nantes slab" and collecting the precipitation water which can then be conducted in

  the hollow bore of a column for their evacuation.

  We see in Figure 1 that on the underside 17 of the second module 3 is provided, embedded in the mass of the facing binder 6, a rail 18 emerging beyond the

  face 17 and offering a groove with tight edges.

  13 - In this groove can be engaged a profile 19 which ensures the connection and sealing between all of the rails

  18 belonging to the second juxtaposed cornice modules.

  The assembly 18, 19 thus constitutes a guide or reception rail forming the frame of a frame capable of receiving windows, in particular sliding, fixed or swinging bay windows. According to Figure 5, there is shown the assembly by means of an assembly node forming a specific junction module between the lower pillar 20 and the two

  ledges starting at right angles respectively 21 a and 21 b.

  At the top of the column or pillar 20 is placed a specific module 22 forming a marquee; this module differs from the first modules conforming the column 20 by its external appearance and it is provided only for decorative purposes to conform the capital of the column; its internal configuration and in particular its bore and the arrangement of the connecting grooves 9, 9 ', 9 "are identical to what is provided for the first modules 1, 1'

  as shown in Figure 3.

  On this upper module 3 is set up a junction module 23 which has three feeders; a vertical start which is superimposed on the marquee module 22 and which has an internal bore identical to that of the first modules, namely a quadrangular bore comprising the four grooves 8, 8 ′, 8 "; the junction module 23 can thus be secured on the marquee module 22 by a first splice or splice

  of the first type 2 as shown in the engagement position

Figure 5.

  14 - Thanks to this first splice 2 the junction module 23 is therefore firmly secured to the marquee module 22 which is itself integral with the modules or first modules

  superimposed 1, 1 'forming the column.

  The junction module 23 also includes the feeders 23a and 23b respectively which are open upwards and have an internal bore identical to that of the bore of the second modules or cornice modules 3

  which conform the cornices 21 a, 21 b.

  Under these conditions, it is easy to engage on the starters 23 a, 23 b of the second type fishplates or second fishplates formed by the sleeves 4 whose grooves 10, 10 ', 10 "are thus brought into the engagement position on the grooves 7,

  71 ', 7 "from the starters 23 a, 23 b of the junction module 23.

  The second module 3 then engages the sleeve forming a splint 4, itself secured to the start 23 a or 23 b, thus being secured to this junction module; the continuation of the operation by abutment of the second modules 3 abutted and secured by intermediate splice sleeves makes it possible to conform the two cornices 21 a and 21 b which are thus secured to their support column

20.

  The assembly can thus be put in place either being independent and closed in on itself, four cornices resting on four columns thereby reconstituting an independent structure, without relying on a pre-existing construction. But the assembly can be supported on a preexisting wall, in particular of a dwelling, to achieve a

annex set.

  - The invention thus makes it possible to set up a framework

  having the appearance and the beautiful appearance of traditional stones-

  which can receive any covering or additional wall

  shutdown that will be wanted by the user.

  The cornices can thus receive a roof, as seen in particular in the embodiment of Figure 1; this roofing is not specific to the invention and can be replaced by synthetic glass plates for the

  realization of a veranda open to the overhead light.

  The interior space between columns and cornices may also receive any desired covering, that is, a filling by walls formed of building elements put in place with any suitable decoration; advantageously it will be possible to set up as previously described from the dormant supports 18 and 19 of the picture windows making it possible to produce a veranda that is optionally open or closed depending on

outside temperature.

  However, according to a variant, the columns could remain free as well as the cornices, thus making a pergola capable of possibly receiving, during the summer period, elements of total or partial occultation of the

brightness and sunlight.

  Many variations can be made from

items that have been described.

  In the example which has been described above, illustrated in the figures, there is shown a single layer of expanded metal or mesh to form the frame and the structure of the fero-cement type module; whereas in reality several successive layers of expanded metal or mesh possibly connected by welding points or by mechanical connections will be used to constitute 16 - a reinforcement having sufficient rigidity and structuring. Alternatively, one can on the other hand provide that the mechanical resistance will be imparted by an interior profile which matches the interior walls of the module and in particular the previously described grooves, dovetailed or not, and this profile is doubled on the outside. by a single layer of mesh, in particular of expanded metal, which receives by

  projection or by molding an impregnation and a surface-

  coating plaster, in particular plaster or hydraulic binder having the appearance of a reconstituted stone; in this case and in this embodiment, the module consists essentially of a box possibly open on its upper wall in the case of a horizontal module to constitute a lintel, and this internal metallic structure comprises a simple surfacing or facing formed of '' a layer of expanded metal impregnated and coated with a binder with the appearance of reconstituted stone; the binder with the appearance of reconstituted stone passing inwards through the grid structure thus comes to bear against the external wall of the internal profile and, in this case, the expanded metal no longer needs, during the manufacturing phase, to have a paper back wall, since it is the metal profile which constitutes the inner core of the module which contains the reconstituted stone effect plaster present

outwards.

  In this case, the boxes comprising a profile constituting the inner metal core are always assembled by splices made up of sleeves arranged in a jumper between

two neighboring modules.

  However, according to a variant, the metal profile constituting the core of the module may comprise, at each end of the module and along a transverse face of the latter, a flap 17 - forming a cheek capable of abutting against a symmetrical and adjacent cheek coming of the neighboring module to ensure the joining of the two modules, for example by engagement of screws and bolts in the two cheeks abutted and paired. These cheeks may have come, for example, from a wall of the profile folded back at 90; this will in particular be the case when the

  profile is made from a folded strip.

  This cheek can occupy the entire transverse face of the module as it can be limited to only part of this face. And according to another variant, each module can comprise on each end not a fold inwards but two folds, each coming from two adjacent faces or from two opposite faces and which will thus allow two planes of

  joining of the two neighboring modules.

  Each rim then comes into the cheek against cheek support position against the rim of the neighboring module and a connection

  by bolts or by any other means is then easy.

  But the cheeks or ledges could be welded on

  especially the interior profiles.

  These same interior profiles are preferably spot welded to the expanded metal structure which supports the facing facade of the reconstituted stone type so as to

  give homogeneity to the whole module.

  Note that the interest of this structure and the realization

  tion of a construction according to the invention, in addition to its appearance

  which has been underlined, is to allow, in contra

  diction by the way with this aspect, disassembly of 18 - the whole. It is indeed easy to disengage the assembled modules by splice sleeves or to dismantle them when they are secured by simple bolting of the transverse cheeks; this makes it possible to erect a building but possibly to move it or take it away when changing residence. The invention also makes it possible to produce not only exterior volume structures, but also interior structures, for example for the arrangement of a hall or for the constitution of a patio or also for partially sealing, by installing bays. glazed in a recess, for example a porch, an arch, etc. It has been clarified that the internal grooves having an essentially rigidifying function are not necessarily

  in dovetail but can be of any configuration

conch.

  In the case in particular of the implementation of an internal profile constituting the metal core of the module, this profile can comprise, in the case of modules intended to be assembled horizontally to form lintels, grooves or profiled protuberances on their face facing down, which will act as the rail for setting

  place of door frames which was previously mentioned.

  Other adjustments may be made to the elements and to the method of the invention without departing from the framework of the latter. 19 -
