Definitions

  • This invention relates to an element for use in the construction of a wall consisting of a shell with strengthening elements connected thereto primarily intended for temporary structures, such as exhibition stands, film scenery or annex buildings.
  • Known structures use light weight partition walls, usually internally, having limited thickness and weight and which do not have to carry appreciable loads or perform supporting functions, such as strengthening, in buildings.
  • the structures are generally only stable when assembled as part of the building structure.
  • Standard components of this type are usually constructed as skeleton walls, comprising sheets or plaster boards secured to a framework of wood.
  • grooved wall boards are also known, which are assembled together possibly using jointing cement.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a wall element suitable for the assembly into light weight partition wall structures, which is capable of being standardized and which comprises inexpensive material having satisfactory storage properties and occupying only little space.
  • the elements can also be assembled and dismantled by personnel without special skill.
  • the wall element comprises a shell constructed from a number of straightsided parts of a foldable material, for example cardboard, each part being turned over, at the sides which are adjacent other parts, thus forming side surfaces by which adjacent parts abut, at the end surfaces at right angles to the abutting side surfaces, flanges are provided bent at right angles, adjacent parts being held together by at least one bracket member comprising a material folded to embrace the folded over side surfaces and which forms therewith a box-like structure and an L-shaped strip member which comprises a straight edged foldable material and which forms in conjunction with the folded ends of two adjacent parts, a channel.
  • Two shells may face each other and be interconnected at least by the flanges with the brackets of two shells adjacent and facing.
  • a wall element comprises a number of .parts forming a shell each part comprising a straight sided sheet of material, folded at opposite sides to form side facing surfaces by which adjacent parts abut directly against each other, the ends of the sheet at right angles to the sides having flanges bent at right angles; adjacent sheet parts being held together by at least one bracket member comprising a material folded to embrace the folded side surfaces of adjacent parts and which forms therewith .a box-like structure; two shells to formed facing each other by the bracket carrying surfaces the brackets being offset in respect of each shell and the shells being interconnected by overlapping the flanges of each shell end.
  • a double shell element may be formed from two single shells connected by their facing brackets.
  • a wall element of this kind has twice the strength of the unit of the second version of the invention.
  • the wall elements of the invention can be additionally strengthened by elements inserted between two shells, the elements comprising straight-edged sheet blanks folded to form box structures.
  • the assembly of the wall elements according to the invention is particularly simple, if the adjacent sides of two shell parts forming an element as well as the bracket parts are folded over U-wise so that when jointed together a double-compartment box is formed.
  • One such box may be formed by octuple folding of a blank, giving a cross section of S-shaped in the interior part and a single central web with double outer walls in each case.
  • a second box may be formed by the sextuple folding of a blank, the cross section of the box having an outer part of rectangular form, with a single diagonal web and two double outer walls.
  • the joining elements, strengthening parts and possibly bhe brackets preferably extend over the entire height of the shell.
  • the component parts of the wall element comprise corrugated cardboard sheets adapted to be folded along pregrooved or scored folding lines by which the individual components are to be folded to form a shell which is subsequently joined to form a wall element.
  • rigid partition walls of any desired size and length having corners of any angle can be assembled from prefabricated sheets which may be stacked and stored in a very small space, the walls being assembled by folding the sheets and fastening same together, using for example clips.
  • the individual sheets of material can be standardized, so that a considerable saving of cost is obtained, together with the simplifled structure. Assembly can be carried out using unskilled persons.
  • the outer wall surfaces of the shells may be painted or paper covered so as to be indistinguishable from solid walls. The cost of producing partition walls, particularly when the blanks of material consist of corrugated cardboard is sufficiently low so that they can be destroyed after use.
  • the cavities between individual shells which form a wall element may be filled with mineral wool or plastics, or for the interior of the shells to be covered with flock.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partition wall comprising single shell elements of prefabricated blanks of material, according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a folded shell part for assembly into a partition wall as shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section through the wall of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section through a two-shell partition wall made up of parts shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 shows a bracket part
  • FIG. 6 is the prefabricated blank for the bracket part of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 shows in cross section, a partition wall made up of two wall element parts in accordance with a second version of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 shows a strengthening element
  • FIG. 9 shows a second form of strengthening element.
  • FIG. 10 shows a temporary internal structure of wall elements made up from wall elements according to the second version of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the part 12a.
  • the part 12a is a straight sided sheet blank of corrugated cardboard and has on opposite edges and transverse to the corrugations, flanges l4 and 14a folded over at right angles and on sides 15 and 15a folded over in U or channel form. The folded sides in each case form side surfaces 16 and 16a.
  • the sides of adjacent parts directly abut and are held together by two bracket parts 18 (FIG. 5) which are folded and comprise straight-edged corrugated cardboard of the form shown in FIG.
  • brackets overlie the side surfaces'l6, 16a in such a way as to form a double box joint 20, (FIG. 10) open on both sides.
  • the brackets include a bridge part 18a and are secured by the flanges l9 and 19a to the associated parts of the shell by staples or wire stitches inserted by means of a suitable machine.
  • the space between the leg 19b and side surfaces 16a define an open box like cross section.
  • L-section strips 21 and 22 are provided which are folded from straight corrugated cardboard strips and which, in FIG. 1 cover the upper and lower sides of the shell parts and which underlie the flanges l4 and 14a to form channels extending longitudinally.
  • the partition wall described can be combined with a second partition wall to form a double shell wall, by joining together by the strengthening brackets 18.
  • the bracket parts 18 are situated opposite each other, as shown in cross section in FIG. 4 and in addition, covering strips 24 and 25 can be attached to the upper and lower side faces. This provides a double-shell wall element of twice the thickness.
  • additional strengthening elements are provided which, as shown in FIG. 8, may consist of straight-edged corrugated cardboard blanks folded to form a double compartment box 30, by means of folding lines a to h.
  • the cross section of the box shown has an S-shaped inner part 31, with an outer part 32 surrounding same and having a single central web with two opposite double outer walls.
  • a further box 35 of this kind is shown in FIG. 9, and is produced by folding along the line a to f, of a straightedged corrugated cardboard strip.
  • the cross section comprises a Z-shaped inner part 36 and a surrounding outer part 37 with a single central web and a double outer web on each of opposite sides.
  • the parts of the end of a double wall element such as shown in FIG. 7 are connected by a terminal part which, as shown in FIG. 10, may comprise the doublecompartment box 30 or 35.
  • the terminal part may also consist of a blank 38 which is bent to form a Z and which, with the end 15 forms a singlecompartment box.
  • the side parts at a comer 40 are staggered with respect to each face to an extent depending on the distance D between the two shells and on the angle d and are connected by strengthening element 30 to impart rigidity.
  • the corner 40a shows an angle of the element 30 being inserted into the angle.
  • a right angle is produced as a result of two elements 132 and 13f connecting through the wall 13g in such a way that they are spaced by the thickness D of a wall element.
  • the relevant bracket part 18a is provided with a wider central web for this purpose.
  • a joint of 90 can also be produced, as shown at 40c in FIG. 10, by interconnecting two wall elements so that they abut against each other.
  • the brackets can also extend over the entire height of a wall element.
