(54) WALL LINING ARRANGEMENT
(71) We, CONDER GROUP SERVICES
LIMITED, a British Company, of 23, St. Peter
Street, Winchester, Hampshire, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to an arrangement for mounting an interior lining along a side of a building, particularly, but not exclusively, an industrial building.
The invention provides an arrangement for mounting an interior lining along a side of a building in the construction of a wall, the arrangement comprising:
(a) rails which extend substantially horizontally along one side of the building;
(b) main lining support members which extend along the rails, being spaced from the exterior of the building by the rails, the main support members engaging with the rails to prevent motion of the main support members towards the interior of the building;
(c) suspension elements which link each main support member to its respective rail to prevent motion of the main support member downwards, each main support member having apertures which register with apertures in the suspension elements; and
(d) subsidiary lining support members which extend substantially vertically between adjacent main support members, each subsidiary support member having at one end an extension which projects through two registering apertures of a said main support member and a said suspension element to prevent relative horizontal motion of the main support member and the suspension element, the main support members having flanges for preventing motion of the lining and the ends of the subsidiary support members towards the interior of the building.
Preferably each main support member has a bent-back longitudinal edge which engages a longitudinal lip of the respective rail, the lip projecting towards the exterior of the building.
If desired, the bent-back edge can be squeezed in order to clamp it on the lip.
The suspension elements are preferably
Z-shaped, having a limb which rests on the rail and a limb adapted for linking to the corresponding main support member. The suspension element may have a projection which extends through a hole in the corresponding main member and under the bottom surface of the main support member.
It is preferable for the said extension at the said one end of each subsidiary support member to connect with the other end of a like, substantially aligned subsidiary support member so that relative vertical motion of the two subsidiary support members is prevented. The connection may be by means of a projection cooperating with a recess.
It will be appreciated that, once the rails have been erected and before any external wall cladding is mounted, the present arrangement allows a lining to be mounted without any bolting, screwing, or riveting operations, and this work can be carried out from the exterior of the building (avoiding the use of a working platform inside the building).
The invention will be described further, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical section through an assembled arrangement for mounting an interior lining along a side of a building;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary elevation of the arrangement, with the lining in position;
Figure 3 shows a main lining support member;
Figure 4 is an end view of the main support member;
Figure 5 shows a suspension element;
Figure 6 is a section on line VI-VI of Figure 5;
Figure 7 shows a subsidiary lining support member;
Figure 8 is a section on line VIII-VIII of
Figure 7; and
Figure 9 is an end view of the subsidiary support member.
The arrangement illustrated has a number of rails which extend horizontally along a side of a building (not shown). One rail 1 is shown in section in Figure 1; at its edge remote from the exterior, of the building it has a down wardly extending flange 2 from which a lip 3 projects towards the exterior.
A main lining support member 4 is mounted on each rail 1. The member 4 is generally Tshaped in section and is formed from galvanised steel strip, its flanges 6a,6b optionally capped with an aluminium strip 7. (Alternatively, the T-shaped member may be an aluminium extrusion.) The edge 8 of the member 4 remote from the flanges 6a, 6b is bent back so as to be engageable with the lip 3 of the rail 1 to prevent motion of the member towards the interior of the building.
During construction, after the member 4 is positioned on the rail 1, the bent-back edge 8 can, if necessary, be squeezed so as to clamp it on the lip 3 in order to provide temporary fixing of the member 4.
Galvanised steel suspension elements or clips 9 are then fitted to provide permanent fixing of the member 4 against downward motion. Each clip 9 is Z-shaped, having a limb 11 which rests on the rail 1, a body 12 which extends down the flange 2, and a limb 13 which is linked to the member 4. The limb 13 is formed with a projection or tab 14 (Figures 5 and 6) which is passed down through a slot 16 (Figure 3) in the member 4 so as to extend under the bottom surface of the member 4.
Subsequently, the suspension clip 9 maybe kept in position by a pin 17 (or a self-tapping screw or a rivet) temporarily inserted through registering holes in the limb 11 and the rail 1.
Subsidiary lining support members 18 are arranged vertically between adjacent horizontal members 4. Each member 18 is generally T-shaped in section and is formed from galvanised steel strip, the flanges 19 being (optionally) capped with an aluminium strip 20. (Alternatively, the T-shaped member is an aluminium extrusion.) The foot of the
T is widened by a box-section 21.One end of each member 18 (the lower end as seen in
Figure 1) has an extension 22 which fits through a pair of registering apertures 23a, 23b in the clip 9 and member 4 respectively, thus preventing relative horizontal motion of the clip 9 and the member 4. (The pin 17 can be removed after this has been achieved.)
The other end of each member 18 (the upper end as seen in Figure 1) has a pair of laterally projecting flanges 24, one of which is inserted in a transversely extending recess 26 in the extension 22 of an aligned member 18. This prevents relative vertical motion of the members 4 and 18. The flanges 6a, 6b prevent motion of the members 18 towards the interior of the building.
The lining which is mounted by means of the above-described arrangement consists of panels 27 (e.g. of plaster-board or expanded plastics material) which are put into place from outside the building and which are retained against the flanges 6a, 6b and the flanges 19 of the members 4 and 18, respectively, by spring clips 28 (Figure 1) attached to the members 18.
