Description

(54) HEATABLE OR COOLABLE BUILDING PANEL (71) We, STRAMAX AKTIENGESELL SCHAFT, a Body Corporate organized under the laws of Switzerland, of Bertastrasse 99, CH-8003, Zurich, Switzerland, 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: The invention concerns a heatable or coolable building panel.
There exist surface-heating systems of various different types, such as ceilingheating systems, wall-heating systems and floor-heating systems, in which the heating devices have to be attached to existing building elements by means of expensive constructions.
This invention provides a heatable or coolable building panel, comprising an insulating supporting board, and an outer board spaced from one side of the supporting board and connected to it by means of holders, the holders having bends adapted to receive heating or cooling conduits adjacent the supporting board and spaced from the outer board.
Thus it is possible to make a particularly simple heatable or coolable building panel which may be applied subsequently to existing building elements, or may even form a partition of a room unit. The construction of the panel is such that it forms the basic framework of a surface heating system. It is then possible to arrange in the building panel, as required, a heating or cooling conduit in all or only some of the bends. The bends, by virtue of their shape, are capable of retaining a heating or cooling conduit, possibly in conjunction with the supporting board itself, as in the illustrated embodiments.
The building panel may, for example, be secured by means of the insulating supporting board to an existing building element, e.g. by sticking or screwing the board to the building element. The building panel may also serve directly as a room subdividing wall element. If required, the insulating supporting board may form one side of the wall and the outer board the other side. It is, however, also possible to provide the insulating supporting board with outer boards on both sides, which outer boards are each fixed to the supporting board by holders with bends. In such a case, separate holders for each outer board may be fixed to the supporting board.
It is, however, advantageous if the holders pass in one piece from one outer board to the other through the supporting board.
The holders preferably consist of strip material and are expediently made of spring steel, thereby improving the load capacity of the holders and the gripping of the conduits in the bends. A particularly advantageous construction of the holders is obtained if the bends are downwardly open bends and the holders have upwardly directed fixing attachments, on which the outer board is suspended by means of straps. In such a case, the loading of the fixing attachments by the outer board improves the grip of the bends on the conduits.
It is also advantageous that the bends, and hence the conduits, are adjacent to the insulating supporting board. This renders possible a uniform air conditioning of the space between the insulating board and the outer board, so that a more uniform temperature of the outer board is obtained.
The building panel may be provided wholly or only partly with heating or cooling conduits. If the building panel is mounted on a wall or as a wall element, heating may also be effected only at a certain distance from the floor or in certain regions by equipping only a corresponding part of the building panel with conduits.
The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: Figure 1 shows a cut-away portion of a first building panel in vertical longitudinal section; and Figure 2 sshows a similar view of a second building panel.
The building panel shown in Fig. 1 may serve as wall element for subdividing room units. It comprises an insulating supporting board 1 on which on both sides outer slabs 2 and 3 are held at a distance by means of holders 4, of which only one holder is shown in the drawing. The holder comprises a bridge 5 passing through the insulating board at an angle, connected to which bridge on both sides of the insulating board 1 are re-entrant bends 6 and 7, in which heating or cooling conduits 8 are clampingly held. The re-entrant bends 6, 7 pass into connecting bridges 9, 10, adjoined by fixing attachments 11, 12, situated parallel to the outer boards 2, 3. The latter are, for example, adhesively secured to the fixing attachments.
Figure 2 shows a building panel, analogous to Fig. 1, having a modified holder 4a. The bridge Sa of the holder passes through the insulating board 1 and, on both sides of the insulating slab, passes into downwardly directed re-entrant bends 6a, 7a, in which heating or cooling conduits are clampingly arranged. Adjoining the said bends are downwardly directed connecting bridges 9ca, 10a, on which are provided upright fixing attachments 1 la, 12a.
The outer boards 2 and 3 are suspended by means of straps 13 hung on to the fixing attachments 1 la, 12a of the holder 4a. In this embodiment, the suspended outer boards 2, 3 impart to the connecting bridges 9, 10 a torque which improves the clamping effect for fixing the heating or cooling conduits 8 in the bends 6a, 7a.
The insulating board 1 of the building panel may consist of any suitable insulating material and, for example, may comprise a reinforcement, not shown. The outer boards may also consist of any desired materials, for example plaster or wood.
The holders consist of metal and preferably are made of strip material. An advantageous material for the holders is spring steel.
As conduits for heating or cooling media, pipes of metal, in particular copper or aluminium, or even plastics, may be provided.
In contrast to the embodiments shown, the building panel may be provided with an outer board on one side only, and the opposite side of the insulating board may serve as fixing or visible surface. It is also possible to provide different holders for the two outer boards of a panel.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS: 1. A heatable or coolable building panel, comprising an insulating supporting board, and an outer board spaced from one side of the supporting board and connected to it by means of holders, the holders having bends adapted to receive heating or cooling conduits adjacent the supporting board and spaced from the outer board.
2. A building panel according to claim 1, including also, spaced from the other side of the supporting board, a further outer board connected by holders, these holders likewise having bends adapted to receive heating or cooling conduits.
3. A building panel according to claim 2, wherein the holders pass through the supporting board from one outer board to the other.
4. A building panel according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the or each outer board consists of wood or plaster.
5. A building panel according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein the bends are arranged to hold conduits clampingly.
6. A building panel according to any of claims 1 to 5, wherein the holders consist of strip material.
7. A building panel according to claim 6, wherein the holders consist of spring steel.
8. A building slab according to any of claims 1 to 7, wherein the holders have portions which lie parallel to the or each outer slab and are fixed thereto.
9. A building slab according to claim 8, wherein the holders have downwardly open bends and upwardly pointing fixing attachments on which the or each outer board is suspended by means of straps.~
