These fasteners have a form of bars or ladders constituting reinforcement elements. In the case of erecting arched walls both circumferential slats and horizontal fasteners are adequately profiled to match the wall contour. Reinforcing fasteners are placed in horizontal and vertical gaps between hollow tiles. Such reinforcing fasteners are being filled with construction mortar starting from the lower slat, on which the successive rows of hollow tiles are being put; it must be noted that ends of fasteners are introduced into profiled circumferential slats.

It embraces the supporting element made of timber. This unit consists of: the frame, horizontal slats with a length equal to the length of the wall and fixed to the frame with catches as well as vertical fasteners with a length equal to the height of the hollow tile. The slats fill in horizontal joints between rows of hollow tiles, whereas the fasteners fill in vertical joints between individual hollow tiles situated in each row. Fasteners tightened between slats have their lateral side flat or convex, adjusted to the concave contour of lateral walls of the hollow tile.

This unit consists of supporting elements having a rectangular profile and embracing glass hollow tiles that constitute horizontal and vertical fasteners in a form of joining blocks. These fasteners on their frontal sides have longitudinal holes with mortises, which may be formed in a shape of grooved recesses. In the lateral sides of vertical fasteners there are transverse holes overlapping with holes made in horizontal fasteners, in which threaded fasteners are being mounted. On both external sides, to the horizontal and vertical fasteners profiled slats are being fixed, edges of which are somewhat advanced outside the lateral edges of these fasteners. Profiled slats are being fixed to horizontal and vertical fasteners by means of tongue-and-groove joints. The threaded fastener is composed of a stud-bolt and a longitudinal nut co-operating with it. The horizontal fastener has a length preferably equal to the length of the glass hollow tile, whereas transverse holes of the vertical fastener are situated in relation to the frontal surfaces, contacting each other after the assembly, at a distance equal to the sum of a half height of the hollow tile and a half thickness of the horizontal fastener.
- In order to construct arched profiled walls, the unit is provided with distance pads in a form of tongues, mounted in front of the convex section between side surfaces of the vertical fastener and frontal surfaces of the horizontal fastener.
- The construction unit according to the invention enables easy assembling of both straight and arched profiled walls of buildings or of their fragments with the application of various construction materials including timber, ensuring—on the one hand—the appropriate stability and tightness of the whole construction, and—on the other hand—guaranteeing the high aesthetic qualities being associated with the possibility to functionally operate the light in the interior decoration by means of the adequate selection of glass hollow tiles.

Thefasteners bolts 4 andlongitudinal nuts 5 co-operating with them. These nuts are at the same time the joints used to fasten together stud-bolts. The stud-bolts directly fastening the vertical fasteners together have such length, that has been adequately adjusted to the length of these fasteners. On the other hand, stud-bolts fastening the horizontal fasteners together, separated by the vertical fasteners, have a length adequately adjusted to the length of the horizontal fastener and to the thickness of the vertical fastener. - Glass hollow tiles of the luxfer type have external walls of a rectangular shape. The upper, lower and side walls forming the circumference of the hollow tile have concave surfaces in their central sections.
- The
horizontal fastener 1, having a length a preferably equal to the length b of the glass hollow tile and a width slightly lower than the thickness of this tile, has at least one and has preferably made twolongitudinal holes 7 for stud-bolts 4. These holes are broadened at one side and they formrecesses 8 for thrust washers 9 and mortises 10 fornuts 5. In the external sides through their whole length recesses are made, forminggrooves 11 preferably of a trapezoidal shape. - The
vertical fastener 2 has at least onelongitudinal hole 12 made in it for the stud-bolt 4, which is situated lenghtwise the vertical axis of symmetry and which is broadened at one side and forms recess 8 for a thrust washer 9 and amortise 10 for anut 5. In the external sides on the whole length recesses are made, forminggrooves 11. - Longer and, at the same time, basic vertical fasteners as shown in the
FIG. 8 , have preferably a length being the sum of the hollow tile height h and of the horizontal fastener thickness d; they havetransverse holes 13 in their central section that overlap with the longitudinal holes of the horizontal fastener during the assembly. - On the other hand—the remaining, shorter vertical fasteners, forming the side framing of the first and the last layer of the hollow tiles creating the wall, have a length preferably equal to the sum of a half height h of the hollow tile and thickness d of the horizontal fastener. At the bottom of fasteners, as it is shown in the
FIG. 11 , twotransverse holes 13 are made. Transverse holes of shorter andlonger fasteners 2 are situated in relation to thefrontal surfaces 25 adhering to each other, at a distance s being equal to the sum of a half height h of the hollow tile and a half of thickness d of the horizontal fastener. - Profiled
slats 3, having a width being slightly greater than thickness of thefasteners tongues 14, shape of which is adjusted to a shape of thegrooves 11 made in the fasteners, with which they are fastened by means of the front tongue-and-groove joint 15. - The transverse section of the slats has a polygonal contour with stepped-
shaped edges 16, advanced a little bit outside theside edges outside edges 19 of the hollow tiles, what additionally stiffens and, at the same time, seals joints formed between the hollow tiles. - Construction units earmarked for erecting profiled walls with a shape approximate to arch with the application of hollow tiles are provided with horizontal fasteners, in which
longitudinal passage holes 7 are increased in order to adequately position stud-bolts 4 during the assembly. These units are additionally provided withdistance pads 20 in a form of tongues with a near-rectangular section, which—as it is shown in theFIG. 16 —during the assembly of the fastener are being placed in the front of convexly profiled section of the wall, between theside surfaces 21 of the vertical fastener and thefrontal surfaces 22 of the horizontal fastener, as well as side walls of the glass hollow tile. - Preferably on their front sides, the horizontal fasteners have
rectangular recesses 23, earmarked for mounting distance pads into them. Such a construction ensures adequate angular positioning of thefasteners pads 20, the proper profiles of walls with lower or greater convexity can be obtained. Such the construction solution eases the assembly and construction of various profiles without any necessity to form e.g. the horizontal fasteners in order to receive a suitable shape of their frontal sections. - When erecting free-standing walls inside the building, the external fasteners are being replaced or additionally reinforced with the frame, formed from the vertical and horizontal,
uniform elements 24 having a shape of straps, fastened by means of usually known metal fasteners. Short bolts may be mounted on the frame, dimensions of which are adjusted tolongitudinal nuts 5, to which then stud-bolts 4 are being fastened. In the case of arched walls, a shape of the frame base is adjusted to a profile of the erected wall. - The horizontal and vertical fasteners can have, according to the recesses on their circumference, adequately profiled surfaces as it is marked by a broken line in the
FIGS. 6 and 9 , what limits to the minimum the possibility to form gaps inside the walls structure. - In the case of constructing window openings and, generally, in the case of erecting external walls, gaps occurring between hollow tiles and fasteners are being filled in with flexible sealing compounds.
- The construction unit embracing the one glass hollow tile in principle consists of two horizontal fasteners (the upper and the lower one), four vertical fasteners (two on each side) and eight threaded fasteners, mounted in
longitudinal holes transverse holes 13 makes for this, that the vertical fasteners after assembly meet each other with theirfrontal surfaces 25 at the height complying with the central section of the hollow tile, and these parts of the fasteners that are pulled outside their horizontal edges form the arms embracing the hollow tile situated within the adjacent layer of the wall up to its half dimension. - These sections of the fastener that are advanced upwards facilitate even laying of hollow tiles and assembly of the next layer. This ensures straight wall construction and guarantees the suitable stiffness and stability of the whole construction.
- In the another embodiment of the construction unit, as it is presented in the
FIGS. 17, 18 , 19, 20, 21 and 22, thelongitudinal holes 7 along withmortises 10 of thehorizontal fastener 1 have a form of thegrooved recesses 7 a withmortises 10 a, and thelongitudinal hole 12 along with themortise 10 of thevertical fastener 2 have a form of thegrooved recess 12 a with themortise 10 a, moreover—such recesses are made through the whole length of the fasteners. In front of themortises 10 a, earmarked for mountingnuts 5, there arerecesses 8 a for thrust washers 9. Recesses 7 a and 12 a of the horizontal and vertical fasteners are provided with a cubicoidal groove of a width slightly exceeding the diameter of the stud-bolt 4 of the threaded fastener, and they are terminated with thebottom 26 having the arched surface adjusted to the oval shape of the above bolt. The recess bottom is made at such the depth, which enables longitudinal and centric positioning of the bolt, the axis of symmetry of which runs at a depth approximately equal to a half of thickness of thefasteners - From the technological point of view, irrespective of the length of both the horizontal and vertical fasteners, on the whole length we can reach a high precision in mapping the grooved recesses shape e.g. when using milling techniques, what—on the one hand—guarantees even (straight) laying of the stable wall, and—on the other hand—facilitates assembly of the above wall due to the possibility of prior twisting of the threaded fasteners, and then—putting on them the block fasteners. In order to ensure the appropriate stiffness of the wall, during the assembly of the above the vertical fasteners are being reversed in relation to these fasteners that are laid below them by an angle of 180°. Thus, the side opening of the
recess 12 a of the vertical fastener is being situated alternately on the left and on the right side of posts constituting the supporting construction made of the fasteners. The horizontal and vertical fasteners, profiled slats and distance pads are made of timber, plastic and/or other construction materials with suitable resistance parameters. Adequately selected materials e.g. these made of timber, ensure at the same time high aesthetic qualities of the walls, creating the decorative element in building facilities. - The construction units according to the invention make it possible to erect, with the application of glass hollow tiles, partition walls, external walls as well as the other free-standing decorative screens of large sizes, enabling to functionally operate the light subject to the adequate selection of glass hollow tiles. The unit characterised in the simple construction makes it possible to assemble the walls (both straight and arched profiled ones) by oneself.
