Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a system of rules, systems for regulations or the like.

Technical background Over time, a large number of variants of regulatory systems and procedures for completing regulatory systems have been developed. For example, rules / regulations are used as frame structures in buildings and other structures. The rule systems / regulations usually comprise a plurality of horizontal and vertical bars, respectively, which are joined with joining devices such as screws, nails, plates, brackets with several types of joining devices.

The rules in the said rules system / rules usually consist of wooden rules or metal rules (so-called sheet metal rules). Despite the fact that a number of different regulatory systems and procedures for completing regulatory systems / regulations have been developed, there are still problems with these.

One of the problems with known control systems, especially in control systems comprising wooden bars, is that these usually comprise a large number of different types and variants of constituent components. The amount of components in the regulatory systems usually entails management problems as well as cost disadvantages.

Another problem with known types of rule systems is that these usually require a relatively high degree of accuracy when cutting and fitting the included rules in order to achieve a good function for the rule system. The cutting and fitting of the rules becomes time-consuming through the constructions of the rules systems, which in turn entails costs.

Other problems with known rule systems are caused by the material from which the included rules are made. When using wooden joists, especially homogeneous wood, in the rule systems, there is the problem that the joists are usually not dimensionally stable. Especially when storing wooden joists, these are, for example, slightly twisted or edge-deformed.

An additional problem with the use of wooden joists in rule systems is that the wooden joists are usually made of timber of running length. Cutting studs from timber of running length means that parts of the timber after cutting cannot be used as studs in the rule system but become waste, which in turn entails costs.

Using metal bolts, such as sheet metal, in bolt systems also causes specific problems. A problem with rule systems comprising sheets of sheet metal is that they are usually not dimensionally stable before cladding such as boards or the like is screwed onto the bars.

Furthermore, rule systems with sheet metal rules usually require a more professional practitioner than wooden rules. Completing the rule system with sheet metal rules also means that access to more types of tools than what the completion of rule systems with wooden rules requires.

An additional problem with sheet metal rules is work environment problems. For example, a greater force is required for a screw and the like to be pulled in a sheet metal bolt than in a wooden bolt.

When using control systems, there are problems in using these to control walls and the like where the openings deviate from a right-angled shape. For example, there are problems with rhomboid shape or arch shape. There are also problems with skewed (angled) studs.

Prior art Patents SE1311731T3 and SE1305484T3 describe variants of bolts and control systems as well as methods for completing the control systems. The techniques described in the patents have been commercialized by Södra Timber and marketed under the Södrasmart brand.

Södra Timber's system Södrasmart includes studs made of wooden material that are largely reminiscent of the construction of sheet metal studs. The included rules in Södrasmart consist of parts of wood which are milled and glued together with the intention of achieving a dimensionally stable rule. The rules have a C-shape. The construction also includes a variant of an adjusting block which is used to position vertical posts. The system in accordance with the patent specifications and the marketed rules system Södrasmart differs significantly from the system in accordance with the present patent application. For example, the use of Södrasmart's rules system does not allow a corresponding flexibility as the use of the rules system / regulations in accordance with the present patent application.

Another problem with Södrasmart's rules is that they do not have a substantially symmetrical shape, which causes problems in the construction of the rules system. For example, shorts can not be made of the same profile as vertical bars.

Another difference between Södrasmart's rules system and the rules system in accordance with the present patent application is that Södrasmart's shortcuts have a different cross-sectional shape than the rules in general. In the present system, the shortings preferably have the same cross-sectional shape as the studs in general. Furthermore, the shorting is not connected directly to other rules but indirectly to record material or the like, which after the regulation of the regulations is connected to the regulations. This should be seen in contrast to the present invention where shorts are connected with fasteners to other studs. The object of the present invention The object of the present patent application is to eliminate or substantially reduce one of the previously mentioned, or in the following mentioned problems, with existing types of control systems. The purpose is solved with a system of rules in accordance with the claims.

Detailed description of the invention With reference to the figures, a control system 1, (alternatively a system for control, regulations, systems for regulations) in accordance with the present invention will be described in more detail. The regulations 1 are preferably intended to be connected to at least one structure 2 such as preferably a part of a building structure or the like. The control system, or components included in it, can in alternative embodiments be used in other In applications in buildings, the control system 1 is used, for example, in frame structures in walls, roofs and other building applications. The present invention can, for example, be used to advantage in partitions or other wall construction in a building. The control system is preferably intended to be covered with boards and the like (not shown in figures).

The rule system 1 comprises an arbitrary number of rules 3, (beams, elongate objects or the like). The rules 3 are intended to be connected to each other with a required number of connection devices 4 and together form a set of rules, rules system.

The shape of the rules 3 can vary within the scope of the inventive idea. In the exemplary embodiment, the rule preferably has a shape which is substantially square and thereby comprises at least a first side 5 with a first opposite side 6, constituting a second side, and a third side 7 with a second opposite side 8, constituting a fourth side. In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that the bars have a different shape than the shapes shown in the figures. The studs may consist of wood, metal, composite material or other material or material combinations suitable for the purpose.

In the exemplary embodiments of the rule 3, the respective rule 3 comprises at least a first part 9 (as a piece of wood) and at least a second part 10 (as a piece of wood). The parts 9 and 10 are preferably joined together with a technique suitable for the purpose. Preferably, the parts may be joined together with glue or other type, or combination, of adhesive material. The length of the bolts 3 and the constituent parts 9 and 10 can vary within the scope of the inventive idea. It is further conceivable that the bolts in alternative embodiments comprise at least a third part (not shown in the figures) and, where applicable, also at least a fourth part (not shown in the figures). Alternatively, the number of parts can be more than four.

In a preferred embodiment, the abutment surface 11 of the first part has an abutment surface 12 against the abutment surface 12 of the second part and the abutment surface 12 of the second part, respectively, abuts against the abutment surface 11 of the first part. Collaborative shapes refer to shapes which facilitate the positioning of the parts relative to each other in connection with the joining of these. (The implication of this is that the parts fit into each other in a specific way, which is why it does not require too extensive work to position the parts relative to each other when joining the parts).

The rule 3 comprises at least one longitudinal hole 13 which extends along all or part of the length (longitudinal direction) of the rule 3. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the hole 13 consists of a through hole which extends along the entire length of the bolt. Preferably, the hole 13 is located in the center of the rule (hereinafter referred to as the center or center hole) or in the essential axial center of the rule. In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that the hole 13 is placed in a different position suitable for the purpose than in the axial center of the bolt. The shape of the cross section of the hole 13 can vary within the scope of the inventive concept.

Referring to Figures 3A to 3D, exemplary embodiments of the cross section of the hole are shown. The cross section of the hole 13 has a shape which allows at least one end (the leg) of a connecting member 4 to be inserted completely or partially into it. For example, one leg of the fastener described later can be fully or partially inserted into the longitudinal hole 13. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, both the first leg of the bracket and the second leg of the fastener are intended to be fully or partially inserted into the longitudinal hole 13.

In the first exemplary embodiment in Figures 3A and 3B, the hole 13 is of a wholly or partly substantially rectangular shape, alternatively of a shape which has a substantially rectangular shape. In the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 3A, the cross section of the hole after parts of the longitudinal sides has a greater width (height) than the other parts of the longitudinal sides (increased groove height d in a part of the hole pattern). In alternative embodiments, the hole 13 may have another shape suitable for the purpose which is suitable for the purpose and into which at least one of the legs of the bracket can be inserted completely or partially. For example, Figure 3D shows grooves 13 with parts that are radius-shaped or otherwise curved.

In the exemplary embodiment of the rule 3, the rule 3 comprises, after its constituent first part 9 and its second part 10 have been joined together, at the transition between the first part 9 and the second part 10, at least one first groove 14 or first recess.

Preferably, the bolt 3 comprises at least one first groove (recess) 14 and at least one second groove (recess) 15. The grooves 14 and 15 extend along all or part of the length of the bars. The grooves (recesses) 14 and 15 are intended to be able to catch excess glue which may be squeezed out in connection with the joining of the first part 9 and the second part 10. The grooves (recesses) are created by the edges 16 of the first part 9 and that the edges 17 of the second part 10 are preferably bevelled or shaped with another shape suitable for the purpose. In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that the parts at the grooves are radially shaped.

The bars 3 comprise at least one groove (recess, guide passage) 18 or the like, on one side and preferably a second groove (recess, guide passage) 19 or the like on an opposite side. The grooves 18 and 19 constitute a space in which connecting devices 4 or the like can be connected. The connecting devices 4 can be connected at specific positions or be infinitely movable according to the length of the grooves 18 and 19. The grooves (guide passages) 18 and 19 extend in the longitudinal direction of the bars (parts). In alternative embodiments, it 19 extends in the longitudinal direction of the bars (parts). In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that at least one type of connecting device 4 is connected to the grooves and can be moved along all or parts of the longitudinal direction of the grooves (the longitudinal direction of the parts). The construction achieves a torsionally rigid and torsional force-absorbing construction for the interconnected joists. The depth (height) of the grooves (guide passages) can vary within the inventive concept. In a preferred embodiment, the grooves (guide passages) have a depth which corresponds to the thickness of the leg of the fastener.

The system 1 comprises connecting devices 4 such as a first type of fastener 20, sheet metal or the like with which two or more bolts 3 are connected to each other. In the exemplary embodiment, the bracket 20 consists of a variant of an angular fitting with which a first rule and at least a second rule can be positioned at an angle to each other.

The bracket 20 or plate comprises at least a first leg 21 and at least a second leg 22. In the first exemplary embodiment of the legs 21 and 22, these are angled substantially perpendicularly to each other. In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that the angle between the legs 21 and 22 deviates from the perpendicular. One leg of the bracket 21 is intended to be connected in the holes of the bolts (center hole) and the other leg of the bracket is intended to be connected to the grooves 3 of the bolt (guide passage) 18 or one of the grooves (guide passages) 18 and 19 of the bolt.

The bracket 20 is preferably made of metal or metal alloy. If the metal material consists of a material which is attracted by a magnet, the technical effect is achieved that the position of the bracket can be easily detected even after wall panels have been connected to the control wall with said brackets. In alternative embodiments, it is also conceivable that the bracket is made of another material or material combinations suitable for the purpose.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the bracket 20 also comprises at least one connecting device 23 with which the bracket 20 can be connected to at least one hole 24, bushing, recess or the like in the bolt. Preferably, the studs comprise several holes 24 each. The holes 24 may be located at predetermined positions in the axial direction of the bolt causing the holes to be used as positioning holes to position the bracket at a predetermined position or in any of a plurality of predetermined positions. For example, the positions of the holes 24 may be located in accordance with (and / or guided by) at least one standard. Notwithstanding the above, the holes 24 in alternative embodiments may be located in optional positions according to the longitudinal direction of the bolt. The holes 24 may in alternative embodiments consist of recesses, bottom holes or the like.

In the embodiments exemplified in the figures, the holes 24 are located in the middle, or substantially in the middle, of the studs. In alternative embodiments, the holes may be located in another position suitable for the purpose.

In the exemplary embodiment of the bracket shown in Figure 4, the connecting device 23 comprises at least one first connecting member 25 and at least one second connecting member 26. In alternative embodiments, the number of connecting members may be more or less than two.

The shape of the leg clamps 21 and 22 can be symmetrical, i.e. they have an identical or substantially identical shapes. In the exemplary embodiments in the figures, it is shown that the shape and function of the first and the second leg, respectively, preferably vary within the scope of the inventive idea. One leg has a shape and function and the other leg has a second shape and a second function. The bracket thus becomes reversible so that one leg slides in the groove (guide passage) while the other is connected to the hole 24 or the recess.

The system enables one leg of the bracket 20, with the connecting means 25 and 26, to be connected to a first bar at a predetermined position while the second leg, with a smooth surface, can be connected to a second bar at any position (steplessly) following the groove of the bar (guide passage). In order to connect (fix) the fastener 20 to a specific position after the groove, this preferably also comprises one or more holes 27 for screws, nails and the like.

Referring to Figure 5, it is shown how in an alternative embodiment the present bracket 20 includes perforations 28, recesses, holes or weakenings at the transition between the first leg 21 and the second leg 22 which facilitates adjustment of the angle between the leg 21 and the leg 22 (easier to bend the legs relative to each other than when the bracket does not have perforations, recesses, holes or weakenings).

Referring to Figures 6A and 6B, alternative variants of the bracket 20 are shown. Figure 6A shows a variant of connecting means 23 with a cross-shaped cross-sectional shape. In further embodiments, the cross section of the connecting member may be of a different shape suitable for the purpose. Figure 6B shows a connecting member in the form of a bracket 20 comprising a connecting member 23, the connecting member 23 having a round cross-sectional shape.

Referring to Figure 6C, it is shown how the present system comprises a variant of a connecting device 4 which is intended, for example, to be used in splicing a first rule and a second rule, end to end. The connecting device here in this embodiment preferably has a straight shape which allows two bolts to be connected to each other in the axial directions of the bolts or substantially axial directions.

Referring to Figure 7, it is shown how one rule is connected to another rule at an angle which deviates from the right angle between the bars. This is made possible by the bracket 20 comprising perforations, holes or the like with which the angle between the legs of the bracket can be adjusted.

In alternative variants of the control system, the control system comprise at least one bracket, a bracket or the like for at least one electrical box or other electrical component. In alternative embodiments, it is thus conceivable that the system comprises brackets or brackets for other purposes.

For example, these may be intended to relieve some type of screw mounting.

With the present system, rule systems can be joined and created more easily and faster. In the present invention, this simplification takes place in that the bracket is displaceable in relation to the center hole in the elongate part, which means that the length of the bolt can be adjusted via mutual adjustment of the brackets and studs.

In alternative embodiments, it is conceivable that the studs lack center holes. In these embodiments, a connection between bolts can be made by using a U-shaped bracket to join the parts of the system. In further embodiments, it is conceivable that the rule comprises two or more holes in the longitudinal direction of the rule.

Alternatively, the recesses, the recess may be at the edges of the elongate parts. The bracket in these cases comprises grooves which can be fastened to the edges of the elongate objects.

In the detailed description of the present invention, detailed descriptions of construction details may be omitted which will be apparent to one skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Such obvious construction details are included to the extent, and have the functions required to achieve a satisfactory function of the present invention.

Advantages of the Invention With the present invention, a number of advantages are achieved. Firstly, an improved system of rules is obtained which solves, or reduces, at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background. Another advantage is that the construction process is made more efficient. A further advantage of the present invention is that included bars can withstand storage better than homogeneous wooden bars do.
