Definitions

• the invention relates to a pre-fabricated panel wall of the type stated in the introductory portion of claim 1.
• any panel sheet metal materials may be used, and they are just to be cut to length without edge profiling.
• Panel walls of the present type are known e.g. from the SE Patent Specification 211 729, the DE Offenle- gungsschrift 1 806 626 and the US Patent Specifica ⁇ tion 3 034 609.
• the posts are formed by metal profiles which are made of bent sheet metal and extend from the floor to the ceiling, so that they require individual adaptation, which is impeded by the nature of the material. Seen from a fire-technical point of view, it is disadvantageous that there is a good heat conductive connection from one side of the panels to the other, and seen from an aesthetic point of view it must in many cases be con ⁇ sidered unfortunate that the posts incorporate visible metal strips.
• the object of the invention is to provide a pre ⁇ fabricated panel wall of the present type, which is easy and inexpensive to erect and which has advantageous properties both technically and aesthetically.
• the panel wall is con- structed as stated in the characterizing portion of claim 1.
• the profile bodies may be constituted by wood or another easily workable material, such as suitable plastics, which is heat-insulating and which permits the visible parts of the posts to be
• the posts form box profiles which have a favourable strength/weight ratio.
• the profile bodies need not be attached to these guides as they are kept together by the bent sheets.
• the structure defined in the characterizing portion of claim 2 pro ⁇ vides the advantage that the bent sheets may be manu ⁇ factured in standard lengths without requiring indi ⁇ vidual adaptation, and that the finished wall will include a raceway in which e.g. service facilities may be accommodated.
• Claims 5 and 6 define two different embodiments of the bent sheets. Also these may optionally be divided in the longitudinal direction and be spaced.
• the numeral 2 designates vertical profile bodies, preferably of wood, of a substantially T-shaped cross-section whose stems face each other.
• the two profile bodies 2 are kept together by two sheet metal elements 1, which are bent to form a channel of a substantially U-shaped cross-section with crimped legs whose outer edge portions engage narrow slits, which extend longitudinally of the wall into the central portions of the profile bodies 2.
• the profile bodies 2 and the panels 5 engage the sides of floor and ceiling guides 6.
• the sheet elements 1 have such a length and are so positioned as to create a free raceway both. below and above them to accommodate electric cables or the like.
• the panels 5 may consist of many different materials, e.g. wood, glass, cardboard plaster or eternit. Also, insulation material may be positioned in ordinary manner in the spaces between the panels.
