Definitions

  • This invention relates to an arrangement adapted for joining building elements in a fireand pressure-proof manner, for example for the assembly of a plurality of building elements to form the ceiling and walls in an apparatus room for fans.
  • Each of the building elements is a slab-shaped closed sheet metal casing which preferably contains a heat and sound insulating material.
  • the present invention is intended to be utilized for the assembly of larger apparatus rooms wherein the ceiling piece and the side pieces comprise a plurality of building elements joined to each other.
  • apparatus rooms of the assembled type did not exist, due to the high requirements to be met by the joints between the individual elements with respect to their resistance to fire and pressure.
  • Different experiments have been made to find an acceptable solution of the problem, but no conventional joint so far has proved to comply with the existing regulations for such assembled rooms.
  • the present invention has as its object to satisfy the requirements on apparatus rooms of the aforesaid assembled type.
  • One of the requirements is to prevent to the greatest possible extent heat transfer between the elements.
  • a further requirement to be met is to prevent the joints from opening when being subjected to heat or pressure stresses from one side, even when the stress causes bulging in the Wall or ceiling.
  • the present invention provides an insulated panel assembly having a plurality of panels disposed end-to-end and joined together along their adjacent ends by U-shaped channel members disposed in grooves provided along the inner and outer margins of the panels.
  • An insulated seal is provided in each of the grooves, so that when the channel members are drawn together by threaded connecting means, a sealed joint is provided between the panels which resists opening caused by the tendency of the panels to move apart when subjected to elevated temperatures and pressures.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of a joint according to the invention
  • FIG. 2a is a foreshortened perspective view of a U- shaped channel member shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 2b is a fragmentary perspective view of a bottom beam for supporting the channel member of FIG. 2a;
  • FIG. 2c is a fragmentary perspective view of a ceiling channel member receiving the upper end of the channel member of FIG. 2a;
  • FIG. Ed is a perspective view of a corner element for strengthening the interconnection between the channel members of FIG. 20 and FIG. 2a;
  • FIG. 3 shows a building element and a detail of a corner.
  • FIG. 3a is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of a corner of the panel shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a joint between two elements comprising a slab-shaped sheet metal casing 1 (see FIG. 3) having certain given dimensions.
  • the sheet metal casing contains a filling material 2 which preferably may be a heat and sound insulating material.
  • the elements are joined together by two U-shaped channel irons 3 held together by bolts 4.
  • the end portions of the elements comprise a plane plate 6 with the bolts 4 passing therebetween.
  • the legs of the sections 3 are bent over at their outer edges 7, which edges are adapted to abut to the web in U-shaped grooves 8 in the side surfaces 9 of the elements.
  • the webs of the grooves are provided with an insulating material 10.
  • the channel irons 3 and the space between the end surfaces of the elements are also filled with a filling material in order to prevent heat transfer and radiation between the elements.
  • Each of the bolts 4 is threaded at one end and provided with a nut 5, the head at the opposite end of the bolt being provided with a boss 11 of square cross-section, so that the bolt subsequent to the insertion of the boss 11 in corresponding square holes 12 in the sections cannot be turned when the nut is being tightened. (See FIG. 2.)
  • the channel irons 3 are utilized for the assembly of building elements to ceiling and wall pieces.
  • the distance between the channel irons 3 relative one another is fixed by special bottom sections 13 whereby a frame structure is formed on which the building elements are mounted.
  • special corner elements 14 are provided in the transition between the ceiling and walls. Upon strong pressure or heat stresses which causes the walls or ceiling to bulge, the joints widen on one side until the legs 15 in the U-shaped grooves of the elements abut to the deflected edges 7 of the channel irons, thereby preventing the joints from opening.
  • a building panel assembly comprising: at least two panels each having inner and outer walls disposed in parallel planes, each of said inner and outer walls having an end portion disposed in a plane spaced inwardly from and parallel to the plane of its respective wall to define a web along the end thereof.
  • the panels being spaced-apart end-to-end to form an expansion space therebetween; an insulating sealing element on the web of each panel wall; at least two U-shaped channel members disposed along the end margins of the panels on opposite inner and outer sides thereof, each channel member bridging the expansion space and having a pair of legs respectively engaging the sealing elements on the webs of adjacent panels to provide a wear-resistant sealed joint between adjacent panels preventing fluid communication through the space; an insulating medium disposed between the legs of each channel member and between the walls of the panels to reduce the transfer of heat through the joint between the panels; and threaded means extending through said space connecting said channel members together to apply a sealing pressure parallel to and along the expansion space, the legs of the channel members extending outwardly from the respective webs past the wall planes of the adjacent panels to permit displacement of the panels away from each other without opening the joint.
  • each of said panels has an end plate disposed along its respective webs in a plane normal to the plane of the panel walls, said plate cooperating with said Web to form an outturned lip along the end margin of each panel wall, so that the legs of the U-shaped channel members may operatively engage the lips of adjacent panel walls upon separation of said panels to limit the separation of the panels and thereby prevent the joint from opening.
  • each channel member is provided with spaced apart shaped apertures
  • said threaded connecting means comprises a plurality of carriage bolts each having a boss inwardly of the head thereof engaging the shaped apertures in the channel members to prevent rotation of the bolts when their respective nuts are tightened, each of said bolts being spaced from the end plates of the adjacent panels to reduce the transfer of heat through the joint.
  • a building panel assembly comprising: at least two panels each having inner and outer walls and an insulating medium provided therebetween, said inner and outer walls each having an end portion inset from the plane of each wall to define a web terminating in an outturned lip; an elongated plate secured lengthwise to the lip of each inner and outer panel wall, the panels being spaced apart endto-end with the end plates of adjacent panels confronting each other to define an expansion space therebetween; an insulated sealing element disposed along the web of each panel wall; at least two U-shaped channel members disposed along the end portions of adjacent panels on opposite inner and outer sides thereof to bridge the expansion space between the panels and provide a joint therebetween, said U-shaped channel members each having a pair of resilient legs respectively engaging the sealing elements of adjacent panels to prevent fluid communication through the joint; an insulating medium disposed between said legs, and an inturned terminal portion on each leg locking the insulating medium therebetween; and means spaced from said panel end plates and extending through said expansion space to connect said channel members together and apply a sealing pressure parallel to and along the
  • Apparatus in accordance with claim 4 including an elongated bottom beam having a longitudinal panel-receiving slot with a series of longitudinally spaced enlarged portions receiving cooperating channel members to form an upright frame, whereby the spacing between the joints is accurately determined to facilitate erection of the panel assembly.
  • Colman 2 line 13 cancel “shows a building element and a detail of a corner” and insert is a perspective view of an insulated panel embodying the present invention.
