FR2740162A1 - Modular brick sections for creating decorative, load bearing columns in buildings - Google Patents

Abstract

The columns are made of a number of sections consisting of perforated whole bricks (1) placed one on top of each other, separated by battens (4) one centimetre high which form the base for grey or tinted joints (10). There are four holes (3) in the corners, a plastics tube (5) with perforations every 6 centimetres is inserted into the holes. An iron rod (7) is inserted in the tube (5) and liquid cement is poured inside. This acts as a stiffener in each corner of the module. When several modules are assembled together they are joined by iron bars (8) and concrete (9) in the centre (2). The diameter of the bars depends on the load which the column must support.

Description

FULL BRICK POST MODULES
PERFORATED
The present invention relates to solid brick posts five centimeters thick intended to serve as decorative brick posts for the construction of houses and various buildings. The section going from twenty to thirty centimeters side.

 The prior art does not teach a prefabricated module of solid brick posts allowing rapid realization on a construction, the bricks are built one by one and it contains seventeen to make a linear meter according to a conventional construction technique, which requires very skilled labor, a very long exposure time, making this type of decorative post made of solid bricks very expensive.

 The prior art proposes prefabricated concrete posts coated with facing brick plates, which makes the assembly very heavy and requires the use of a lifting machine, crane type and costly transport and this is only an imitation of solid brick.

 The present invention proposes to make modules of posts in solid perforated brick with a height varying from sixty to eighty centimeters, the whole not exceeding seventy kilograms. Solid brick (1) five centimeters thick and twenty or thirty centimeters on the side is commonly produced in brickyards, it has in its middle a cavity (2) allowing the post to be stiffened as a whole by pouring concrete into it ( 9) and iron bars (8) to tie everything together and make it load-bearing, it is perforated around the periphery of the central cavity with holes of twenty millimeters in diameter (3) over its thickness.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows the perforated brick found commercially
Figure 2 shows the wooden batten which serves as a spacer for the brick and also as a joint base
Figure 3 shows the plastic pipe with a diameter of sixteen millimeters
Figure 4 shows the post module of eleven brick with the holding means
Figure 5 shows a post made of four modules.

 To prefabricate a module sixty centimeters high, bricks (1) are placed one on top of the other by inserting wooden battens (4) one centimeter on each side, which leaves a reservation of one centimeter between each brick for the attached. The assembly is quick, to keep them plumb, just two boards (11) on either side, blocked with clamps (12). In the four holes (3) closest to the corners there are inserted four plastic pipes sixteen millimeters in diameter (5) sixty centimeters high and drilled every six centimeters by holes of ten millimeters (6). four pipes (5) an armature of the iron rod type of two or four millimeters (7) is put there, depending on the length of the module, the bricks thus arranged are blocked with two boards (11) and two clamps (12), and the pipe (5) is filled with liquid cement, the bricks are blocked by the liquid cement which comes out of the holes (6) spaced six centimeters from the plastic pipe and the bricks are blocked at the four corners.

After drying, fill the joints with gray or tinted mortar (10).

 The module of the post according to the invention allows it to be manufactured in the workshop, then rapid and inexpensive transport to the site thanks to its weight of around fifty kilograms. In fact, with three or four modules sixty centimeters long or more, the pole modules are placed one on top of the other by inserting a wooden wedge of one centimeter for the reservation of the joint at each junction of the module, we hold the '' with planks and clamps (figure 5), we put reinforcements (8) of diameter adapted to the load of the post and we pour concrete (9) in the central cavity (2), to stiffen and make load-bearing all modules. The joints are made at the junction of each module after drying with gray or tinted mortar (10).

Claims (5)

 1. The post module made of solid bricks intended to create decorative posts that can support wooden, concrete or lintel beams, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of elements of solid perforated bricks (I jdisposés les Imes sur les autres, intercalated by a strip (4) serving as a spacer and bottom for the joint (10), by the four holes (3) at the corners of the brick, a plastic pipe (5) is drilled every six centimeters (6) into which liquid cement and an iron rod (7) are poured inside which blocks each brick at the corners and the assembly becomes a brick post module.  2. The post module according to claims 1, is characterized by the fact that the strip (4) serving as a gap for the hiccups of one centimeter of coast, serves as the bottom of the joints when making gray or tinted joints.  3. The post module according to claim 1. is characterized in that the plastic pipe (5) placed at the four corners serves as a guide for all the bricks.  4. Lt: module: dt: next post any one dss previous claims is characterized in that the iron rod (7) and the liquid cement poured into the plastic pipe serves as a stiffener linking all the bricks to the four angles through the holes (6), to make it a module.

 5. The post module is characterized in that during the production of the post by superimposing several modules, the assembly is rclic m its middle 2) by bars of Ecr (8) of diameter adapted to the load of the post and concrete (9), which allows the post to support heavy loads and mimic buckling while being decorative after drying, the joints are gray or tinted.
