Description

TITLE. Masonry support assembly.

The invention relates to a masonry support assembly for anchoring and / or supporting a masonry (outer) wall on an anchoring base, such as a concrete inner wall or concrete skeleton, comprising a console anchor provided with two substantially parallel cheek elements; a masonry support suitable for incorporation in a brick wall, the support is fixedly connected to the front of the cheek elements; fasteners, such as a bolt with nut, for attaching the console anchor to the anchor base; 10 support bracket for the fastening means, wherein the opposite sides are provided with first flanged edges extending in the same direction around the cheek elements.

These masonry supports serve to support highly bricked outer walls or outer blades at regular (vertical) distances and to anchor them to the inner wall or (concrete) construction. This also reduces the vertical pressure exerted by the highly bricked walls.

Such an anchoring member is known from European patent 0 212 228 BI. This known anchoring member serves for fixing façade panels to an anchoring base such as an inner wall.

However, this anchoring member has a number of disadvantages.

It has been found that this structure gradually loses its strength and rigidity in the mounted and loaded state. As a result, the masonry outer sheet can become unstable prematurely, so that the masonry support and / or the entire masonry must be renovated or even completely replaced. To prevent the aforementioned problems, the parts can be provided with a thicker material; however, there are constructive and also financial disadvantages to this, because the cost of the masonry supports becomes higher and the supporting parts of the structural structure may have to be made heavier due to a higher weight load.

The invention therefore has for its object to provide a long-term stable and rigid support which is lightweight and can also be manufactured simply and at low costs.

To this end, the invention provides a masonry support assembly in which the cheek elements are connected at their upper side to a bridge element or that the console anchor is made in one piece and is U-shaped with cheek parts pointing downwards and the support bracket of a saddle shape is provided by providing the adjacent sides - of the sides with the first flanged edges - with flanged edges which extend in the same but opposite direction with respect to the first flanged edges.

Due to the above construction of the masonry support with cross connections at the top and bottom of the cheek elements in combination with a very rigid support bracket as a third cross connection, surprisingly a long-term sturdy and stable anchor console is obtained without having to use extra thick material. The anchor console can also be produced in an inexpensive manner simply by bending and cutting.

In a preferred embodiment, the saddle-shaped support bracket is rotationally symmetrical. This prevents errors during assembly and the resulting possible weakening of the support.

The cheek elements are preferably provided with strut supports which are connected to the bridge element or the cheek elements of the U-shape are provided with large recesses for forming strut supports. These measures also provide a sturdy, lightweight and easy-to-manufacture brickwork support.

The embodiment is preferred in which the cheek elements are provided on the rear side (anchoring side) with recesses for receiving a setting construction.

An advantage is the embodiment in which the recesses are narrowed at the rear of the cheek parts.

More in particular, the assembly is provided with a separate adjusting structure 25 which can be inserted into the recesses in the cheek parts.

More in particular, the adjusting structure comprises a square tube and a spindle with stop for the anchoring base.

In particular, the tube is provided with notches for receiving the cheek parts.

These measures advantageously result in a lightweight, but structurally stable and rigid masonry support structure, in which the straight, square shape of the adjusting construction tube prevents bending or tearing of the cheek elements and variations in pressure load - in mounted position - less quickly lead to distortion.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with the aid of the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of the masonry support, wherein features and other advantages will emerge.

FIG. 1A, 1B, 1C show the brickwork support according to the invention in perspective view, front view, side view and top view, respectively. FIG. 2A, 2B show cheek elements in two different embodiments in side view;

FIG. 3 shows in side view the brickwork support in mounted position in a cavity wall;

FIG. 4A, 4B, 4C show in more detail the support bracket in front view, top view and side view;

FIG. 5A, 5B, 5C show in more detail the adjusting structure in top view, side view and front view.

1A-1D show a brickwork support 1 according to the invention comprising a U-shaped console anchor 2 with two cheek elements 3 ', 3 "and a bridge element 9. Masonry support 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the cheek elements 3', 3" . The masonry support 4 is placed between the bricks of the outer leaf 20 (see figure 3) in order to reduce the pressure forces in a highly bricked wall. The masonry support 1 is connected by means of fastening means 5 - in this exemplary embodiment consisting of a hammer head bolt and nut - to an anchor rail 31 which here forms the anchoring base. The masonry support can also be connected to the anchoring base in another way, for example by means of (chemical) anchors / plugs. An adjusting plate 30 is arranged between the anchor rail 31 and the masonry support 1 so that the position of the masonry support 1 can be adapted to variations in the masonry of the outer leaf. Horizontal variations in the distance between the anchoring base and the outer leaf 30 can also be corrected with the aid of the adjusting plate 30.

The stiffness of the masonry support shown is obtained by connecting the cheek elements 3 ', 3 "at their top with a bridge element 9 or the bridge element 9 and forming the cheek elements 3', 3" in one piece; by also securely connecting the cheek elements to their front side with a masonry support 35 and connecting the fixing means 5 with a saddle-shaped support bracket 6 to the console anchor 2 with the anchoring base. Due to the special saddle shape, the support bracket 6 will hardly bend in the mounted position under the influence of 4 occurring forces, caused for example by outside temperature differences. As a result, the brickwork support 1 will not come loose quickly or otherwise reduce the required anchoring support on the outer leaf.

In figures 4A - 4C the support bracket is shown in more detail with two pairs of adjacent sides 7 '. 7 "and 11 ', 11". The first sides 7 ', 7 "are provided with flanged edges 8', 8" which extend rearwardly in the plane of the drawing. The adjacent sides 11 ', 11 "are also provided with flanged edges 12', 12", so that the support bracket 6 is a very rigid element that will exhibit virtually no deformation as a result of the normal load variations in a structure. In a preferred embodiment, the support bracket 6 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical, so that the support bracket cannot be mounted incorrectly.

In Fig. 3 and Fig. 2B an alternative embodiment of the masonry support 1 is shown provided with bracing supports 13 ', 13 "which extend from the bridge element 9 to the masonry support 4. Preferably, these bracing supports 13', 13" are formed by a recess 14 ', 14 "in the cheek elements 3', 3", for example by cutting. As a result of the triangle formed in the cheek elements 3 ', 3 ", the console anchor 2 will be able to withstand greater loads.

When the distance to the anchoring base becomes large or the brickwork support is crooked or is not level, it is possible to quickly correct for these deviations with the aid of a (loose) adjusting structure.

Figures 1A, 1C and 3 show adjusting structure 16 and Figures 5A-5C show the preferred adjusting structure 16 in more detail. The adjusting structure 6 is mounted in recesses 15 ', 15 "arranged in the underside of the cheek element 3', 3". In Figs. 2A and 2B the recess 15 "is shown in more detail. The recesses 15", 15 "are preferably square in shape and are also provided with constrictions 17 ', 17" to prevent the loose adjusting structure from easily coming out during assembly. the cheek elements 13 ', 13 "will fall. If water pass correction is required, the adjusting structure 16 can simply be pushed into the recesses 15', 15" during construction by sliding the spindle 19 through a restriction 17 ', 17 ". turn the spindle 19, for example with a screwdriver, the stop 21 can be pressed against the anchoring base 10 and the masonry support 1 leveled. The adjusting structure 16 and the recesses 15 ', 15 "are preferably square, since it has been found that even In this way the supporting forces can be transferred and also the spindle 19 with stop 21 will always assume the correct mounting direction. As shown in Figs. 5A, 5C, the square tube 18 can also be provided with notches 22 ", 22" for receiving the cheek elements 3 ", 3".

In FIG. 1C, 3 it is shown that the cheek elements 3 ', 3 "fall into the notches 22', 22" so as to form an additional fixation connection on the underside of the console anchor 2.
