Description

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse angår et veggsystem hovedsakelig bestående av to typer av metallprofiler, hvormed det er mulig å The present invention relates to a wall system mainly consisting of two types of metal profiles, with which it is possible to

reise veggene til en bygning på enkel måte. erect the walls of a building easily.

Det er i og for seg kjent å reise bygningsvegger ved hjelp It is in and of itself known to erect building walls with help

av reisverk i form av sammenkoblede metallprofiler. Dette har man dog hittil ikke kunnet gjøre uten å anvende et stort antall for-skjellige profiler såvel som spesialverktøy og -maskiner. Dette betyr i sin tur at materialtransporten blir mer tungvint, og at reisningen av veggen krever forholdsvis stort og spesielt opplært personale. Dermed øker omkostningene til veggen. of trusses in the form of interconnected metal profiles. Until now, however, this has not been possible without using a large number of different profiles as well as special tools and machines. This in turn means that the material transport becomes more cumbersome, and that the erection of the wall requires relatively large and specially trained personnel. This increases the costs of the wall.

Ved i samsvar med oppfinnelsen å utføre et veggsystem med kjennetegn som angitt i patentkravene er det mulig på en enkel og arbeidssparende måte å reise bygningsvegger som består av elementer av et fåtall standardiserte typer. By, in accordance with the invention, carrying out a wall system with characteristics as specified in the patent claims, it is possible in a simple and labor-saving way to erect building walls consisting of elements of a small number of standardized types.

Oppfinnelsen vil bli belyst nærmere ved et eksempel under henvisning til tegningen. Fig. 1 viser skjematisk et parti av veggsystemet sett fra en flatside. Fig. 2 viser vertikalsnitt i større målestokk etter linjen II-II på fig. 1. Fig. 3 viser vertikalsnitt etter linjen III-III på fig. 1, og The invention will be explained in more detail by an example with reference to the drawing. Fig. 1 schematically shows a part of the wall system seen from a flat side. Fig. 2 shows a vertical section on a larger scale along the line II-II in fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows a vertical section along the line III-III in fig. 1, and

fig. 4 viser i enda større målestokk en alternativ tverr-snittsform av hovedprofilet. fig. 4 shows on an even larger scale an alternative cross-sectional form of the main profile.

Veggsystemet ifølge oppfinnelsen setter seg i prinsippet sammen av en første profiltype eller hovedprofiltype 1 og en annen profil-type 2. Disse profiler kan suppleres med en tredje og en fjerde profiltype henholdsvis 3 og 4. Profilene i eksempelet er utført i aluminium og fremstilt etter en eller annen vanlig metode. The wall system according to the invention is in principle composed of a first profile type or main profile type 1 and another profile type 2. These profiles can be supplemented with a third and a fourth profile type 3 and 4 respectively. The profiles in the example are made of aluminum and produced according to a or other common method.

Profilet 1 har form av en H som ved endene av sine grener The profile 1 has the shape of an H as at the ends of its branches

har innragende fremspring 5. Videre er hovedprofilet 1 på sin ene utside og symmetrisk om sitt horisontale midtplan forsynt med has prominent protrusions 5. Furthermore, the main profile 1 is on its one outside and symmetrical about its horizontal mid-plane provided with

flenser utformet med mot hinannen rettede fremspring 6. Profilets steg 7 sitter ca. 10 mm fra midtplanet, og ca. 10 mm fra dette på den motsatte side er der utformet innvendige føringskanter 8. flanges designed with mutually directed protrusions 6. The step 7 of the profile sits approx. 10 mm from the center plane, and approx. 10 mm from this on the opposite side, there are designed internal guide edges 8.

Profilet 2 har form av en H som ved endene av sine grener har utad-rettede fremspring 9 i form av haker, som er forskutt noe innover i forhold til sideflatene av profilet 2. Videre har profilet 2 The profile 2 has the shape of an H which, at the ends of its branches, has outwardly directed protrusions 9 in the form of hooks, which are offset somewhat inwards in relation to the side surfaces of the profile 2. Furthermore, the profile 2 has

et parti 10 i form av en låsetunge som er trukket i ett stykke med profilet forøvrig og skråner innover mot midten av profilet fra en grenende på hver side av steget 11 (fig. 3). Takket være grenenes utformning blir der i de respektive grenender dannet henholdsvis et ytre og et indre anslag 12 resp. 13. a part 10 in the form of a locking tongue which is drawn in one piece with the rest of the profile and slopes inwards towards the center of the profile from a branching end on each side of the step 11 (fig. 3). Thanks to the design of the branches, an outer and an inner stop 12 or respectively are formed at the respective branch ends. 13.

For å lette forståelsen av oppfinnelsen vil veggsystemet nu To facilitate the understanding of the invention, the wall system will now

bli beskrevet etterhvert som det kan tenkes reist. be described as soon as it can be imagined to be erected.

Hovedprofilet 1 kappes i de foreskrevne lengder, som monteres parvis parallelt ved siden av hverandre ved at lengder 2' av den annen profil-type 2 smekkes fast mellom hovedprofilene 1 i passende innbyrdes avstand. Lengden av profilet 2<1>er i eksempelet 50 mm. The main profile 1 is cut into the prescribed lengths, which are mounted in pairs parallel to each other by snapping lengths 2' of the other profile type 2 between the main profiles 1 at a suitable distance from each other. The length of the profile 2<1> is in the example 50 mm.

Ved at fremspringet 6 ved innsmekkingen av profilet 2' vil havne mellom haken 9 og det ytre anslag 12, blir profilet 1 fiksert i forhold til profilet 2'. For å hindre at grenene av profilet 2 utilsiktet blir bøyd innover etter monteringen, og for å låse profilet 2 til hovedprofilet 1 ved friksjon bøyes profildelene 10 opp mot anslaget 13 (fig. 2). For veggsystemet foreligger der nu ett hovedprofil for utsiden av veggen og ett for innsiden. By the fact that the projection 6 when the profile 2' is inserted will end up between the chin 9 and the outer stop 12, the profile 1 is fixed in relation to the profile 2'. To prevent the branches of the profile 2 from being unintentionally bent inwards after assembly, and to lock the profile 2 to the main profile 1 by friction, the profile parts 10 are bent up against the stop 13 (fig. 2). For the wall system, there is now one main profile for the outside of the wall and one for the inside.

Til å bære og feste den således tilrettelagte bunnstokk eller sville 1<*>(fig. 1) hos veggsystemet blir hensiktsmessig deler til en tredje profiltype 3, innfestningsprofil, festet i jevne avstander og på rad samt vel avpasset i høyderetningen på underlaget eller marken 14. Hensiktsmessig skjer dette på den måte at innfestnings-profilets fikseringsparti består av en i underlaget (marken) fast-støpt gjenget metallstang 15 på hvilken der er skrudd inn en mutter 16 til avpasset høyde, og som profilet 3 hviler på. Ved at profilet 3 har fått den form som vist på fig. 2, fås god føring i sideretningen av bunnstokken 1'. Denne kan videre låses til innfestningsprofilet 3 med en plate 17 og en mutter 18 som nærmere vist på fig. 2. In order to carry and fasten the thus arranged base log or sleeper 1<*> (fig. 1) to the wall system, parts for a third profile type 3, fastening profile, are suitably attached at regular distances and in a row and well adjusted in the height direction on the substrate or ground 14 Expediently, this happens in such a way that the fixing part of the attachment profile consists of a threaded metal rod 15 fixed in the substrate (the ground) on which a nut 16 is screwed to the appropriate height, and on which the profile 3 rests. In that the profile 3 has been given the shape shown in fig. 2, good guidance is obtained in the lateral direction of the bottom log 1'. This can further be locked to the fastening profile 3 with a plate 17 and a nut 18 as shown in more detail in fig. 2.

Monteringen av veggsystemets stolper 1", som likedan som bunnstokkene 1' dannes av dobbelte hovedprofiler 1, skjer på den måte at lengder 2" av den annen profiltype 2 smekkes fast på grenendene av hovedprofilet 1. Disse lengder 2" av den annen profiltype 2 har i eksempelet en lengde av 20 mm og smekkes fast på de steder hvor stolpene 1" skal stå. Stolpene føres nu ned over profilene 2", slik at disse blir stående i hulrommet 19 hos det respektive hovedprofil 1. Rommet 19 er således det rom som foreligger mellom steget 7 og føringskantene 8 hos profilet 1. Den respektive låsetunge 10, som er lett tilgjengelig mellom grenene av hovedprofilet 1, bøyes som omtalt tidligere for låsningen av lengdene til bunnstokkene. Hovedprofilet 1 og lengdene 2" kan også klinkes sammen. The installation of the wall system's posts 1", which, like the bottom logs 1', are formed by double main profiles 1, takes place in such a way that lengths 2" of the second profile type 2 are snapped onto the branch ends of the main profile 1. These lengths 2" of the second profile type 2 have in the example, a length of 20 mm and is snapped in place where the 1" posts are to stand. The posts are now guided down over the profiles 2", so that these remain in the cavity 19 of the respective main profile 1. The space 19 is thus the space that exists between the step 7 and the guide edges 8 of the profile 1. The respective locking tongue 10, which is easily accessible between the branches of the main profile 1, is bent as described earlier for locking the lengths of the bottom logs. The main profile 1 and the lengths 2" can also be riveted together.

Veggplater 20 som danner veggflatene og har slik bredde at deres kanter strekker seg inn mellom grenene av motstående hovedprofiler 1 som inngår i to ved siden av hinannen stående stolper 1", monteres i veggsystemet ved rett og slett å føres ned ovenfra mellom stolpene og deres hovedprofilgrener innen der innmonteres horisontale traverser 1"' av samme type som bunnstokkene og stolpene. Platene låses på hensiktsmessig måte til profilene, og mellomrommet mellom dem fylles med en eller annen form for isolasjon som ikke er vist. Wall panels 20 which form the wall surfaces and have such a width that their edges extend into the branches of opposite main profiles 1 which are part of two side-by-side posts 1", are mounted in the wall system by simply being guided down from above between the posts and their main profile branches within that, horizontal traverses 1"' of the same type as the bottom logs and posts are installed. The plates are suitably locked to the profiles, and the space between them is filled with some form of insulation not shown.

Monteringen av en horisontal travers 1"' eller et horisontalt fast vindusparti 1IV skjer som følger: Den horisontale travers 1"' eller det horisontale vindusparti 1IV består som nevnt av de parallelle hovedprofiler 1 sammenkoblet ved hjelp av lengder av profilet 2 The installation of a horizontal traverse 1"' or a horizontal fixed window section 1IV takes place as follows: The horizontal traverse 1"' or the horizontal window section 1IV consists, as mentioned, of the parallel main profiles 1 connected by means of lengths of the profile 2

på 50 mm. Traversen eller partiet er, resp. blir, kappet til en lengde motsvarende avstanden mellom inntil hinannen stående stolper 1". I endene av de hovedprofiler som inngår i traversen 1"', skyves lengder 2" av profilet 2 på 20 mm inn i de respektive rom 19, og traversen anbringes mellom stolpene 1". Lengdene 2" av profilet 2 blir nu slått eller trykket mot stolpen 1", slik at grenene av profilet 2" smekker seg fast på fremspringene 6 hos det respektive hovedprofil 1. Når traversen er fininnstilt, bankes låsetungene 10 til låsestilling. Låsningen kan suppleres med klinking eller forskruning. of 50 mm. The traverse or section is, resp. are cut to a length corresponding to the distance between adjacent posts 1". At the ends of the main profiles included in the traverse 1"', lengths 2" of the profile 2 of 20 mm are pushed into the respective spaces 19, and the traverse is placed between the bars 1". The lengths 2" of the profile 2 are now struck or pressed against the post 1", so that the branches of the profile 2" snap onto the protrusions 6 of the respective main profile 1. When the traverse is fine-tuned, the locking tongues 10 are tapped into the locking position. The locking can be supplemented with riveting or screwing.

Monteringen av et vindusglass 21 (fig. 1 og 3) som skal anbringes f.eks. mellom vinduspartiet 1IV og traversen 1"', foregår som følger: Ruten 21, som er noe bredere, men noe lavere enn åpningen mellom stolpene 1" og traversen resp. vinduspartiet, føres med sin ene kant inn mellom grenene i vedkommende hovedprofil til den ene stolpe 1", bringes med sin motstående kant på linje med det motsvarende grenmellomrom hos motstående stolpe 1" og føres tilbake et stykke slik at rutens to vertikale kanter nu befinner seg mellom de respektive profilers grener. Ruten løftes deretter opp med sin overkant liggende mellom vedkommende profilgrener i traversen 1"<1>. Et profil 4 av en lengde svarende til lengden av vinduspartiet 1IV blir deretter lagt på dette, og vindusruten senkes for å komme til hvile på klosser 22 innlagt i profilet 4. Profilet 4 har slik høyde at overkanten av ruten når denne hviler på klossene 22, stadig befinner seg mellom grenene av traversen 1"'. Passende gummi-lister 23 kompletterer monteringen av vindusruten 21. Som det fremgår av fig. 3, har profilet 4 form av en U med endene av benene utformet på samme måte som endene av hovedprofilets grener. Dette for å få en enhetlig type av feste for gummilistene 22. Profilet 4 er videre forsynt med et par føringsflenser 24 som sammen med fremspringene 5 danner føring for profilet 4 mot sidelengs for-skyvning i forhold til hovedprofilet 1. The assembly of a window glass 21 (fig. 1 and 3) which is to be placed e.g. between the window part 1IV and the traverse 1"', takes place as follows: Route 21, which is somewhat wider, but somewhat lower than the opening between the posts 1" and the traverse resp. the window part, is led with its one edge into the branches in the relevant main profile of the one post 1", brought with its opposite edge in line with the corresponding branch gap of the opposite post 1" and brought back a bit so that the two vertical edges of the pane are now located between the respective profiles' branches. The pane is then lifted up with its upper edge lying between the relevant profile branches in the traverse 1"<1>. A profile 4 of a length corresponding to the length of the window section 1IV is then placed on this, and the window pane is lowered to rest on blocks 22 inserted in the profile 4. The profile 4 has such a height that the upper edge of the route, when it rests on the blocks 22, is constantly located between the branches of the traverse 1"'. Suitable rubber strips 23 complete the installation of the window pane 21. As can be seen from fig. 3, the profile 4 has the shape of a U with the ends of the legs designed in the same way as the ends of the main profile's branches. This is to obtain a uniform type of attachment for the rubber strips 22. The profile 4 is also provided with a pair of guide flanges 24 which, together with the projections 5, form a guide for the profile 4 against lateral displacement in relation to the main profile 1.

Av den ovenstående beskrivelse i tilknytning til reisningen av veggsystemet ifølge oppfinnelsen vil man klart kunne innse den enestående enkelhet av systemet med ytterst få deler, som gjør opp-finnelsesgjenstanden klart overlegen sammenholdt med eldre teknikk. From the above description in connection with the erection of the wall system according to the invention, one will be able to clearly see the unique simplicity of the system with very few parts, which makes the object of the invention clearly superior compared to older technology.

Hovedprofilet 1 kan også få en form som vist på fig. 4, hvor føringskantene 8 er erstattet med et ytterligere steg 8'. I den ene side av profilet, nærmere bestemt mellom stegene 7 og 8', er der skåret bort et parti for å tillate adkomst til rommet 19 og dannelse av fremspringene 6. The main profile 1 can also take a shape as shown in fig. 4, where the guide edges 8 are replaced by a further step 8'. On one side of the profile, more specifically between the steps 7 and 8', a section has been cut away to allow access to the space 19 and formation of the protrusions 6.

Fremspringene 5, som ved denne utførelse har en enklere form, såvel som fremspringene 6 vil ved påhektningen av profilet 2 komme mellom dennes haker 9 og anslag 12. The protrusions 5, which in this embodiment have a simpler shape, as well as the protrusions 6, will come between its hooks 9 and stops 12 when the profile 2 is attached.
