Definitions

  • the invention relates to building construction and more particularly to interlocking blocks or logs for constructing the walls of a building.
  • Log cabins have been built for hundreds of years using a notch construction in which cylindrical logs form the basic wall-building modules. Each log is provided with notches at either end to rest on the ends of the previously laid logs. While this form of construction is popular due to its rustic appeal, it is expensive to obtain logs having the necessary size and uniformity. Due to the cylindrical shape of the logs, caulking* or some other form of insula ⁇ tion is needed to make the wall a solid insulating unit, and it is difficult to provide channels for electrical and plumbing connections within the walls. Also this form of construction is not particularly stable especially in respect of forces directed outwardly from the structure.
  • Andersson International application no. PCT/SE90/00748 entitled A METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PRODUCING AN ELON ⁇ GATED BEAM discloses a method of extruding elongated beams composed of waste plastic material.
  • One advantage of this method is that it can produce elongated beams of various profiles, even hollow profiles, from waste materials.
  • the present invention provides a design for a wall- building construction element which is preferably extruded from a recycled plastics material having desirable con ⁇ struction, insulating and fire-resistant characteristics.
  • the modules are shaped to provide stability in event of earthquakes or the like and the finished wall forms a solid having broad planar parallel surfaces and flat upper and lower edges.
  • the construction elements have an upper wedge shaped section and a lower complementary wedge shaped longitudinal groove, with a transverse wedge shaped notch extending across one end of each element.
  • a hollow core filled with insulating foam may be provided in the extruded profile, or hollow conduits for receiving electrical and plumbing utilities.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a wall construction element of the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the interac ⁇ tion of three of the interlocking wall construction el ⁇ ements of the invention
  • Fig. 3 is an end view of one embodiment of a wall con- struction element of the invention.
  • Fig. 4 is an end view of a second embodiment of a wall construction element of the invention.
  • Fig. 5 is an end view of a third embodiment of a wall construction element of the invention.
  • Fig. 6 is an end view showing a manner of construction of the base and top wall construction elements of the invention.
  • Fig. 7 is a side view of the wall construction element of the invention.
  • a wall construction element 10 has parallel planar vertical side walls 12, parallel horizontal shoulders 14, V-shaped upper ridge 16 having sloping planar surfaces 18 and 20, V-shaped lower groove 22 having sloping planar surfaces 24 and 26, and parallel lower planar base surfaces 28.
  • Each construction element 10 is an extruded piece, preferably approximately 10 cm in width and 14 cm in height.
  • Groove 22 and V-shaped ridge 16 are complementary in that surfaces 14 are of the same dimension as surfaces 28 and lower sloping surfaces 24, 26 are of the same dimen- sions as surfaces 20, 18 and also form the same angle A (preferably 90 degrees) .
  • a further notch 40 identical in cross-sectional shape to groove 22, having planar surfaces 44, 46 meeting at an angle of 90 degrees, extends at right angles to groove 22 adjacent end surface 38, leaving a flat base surface which is the same width as shoulder 14. Any given wall construction element has a notch 40 at one end only.
  • a first embodiment of the wall construction element of the invention is shown in Fig. 3 in which the extruded profile is solid except for the provision of a longitudinal hollow core 36, circular in cross-section, for carrying plumbing or wiring.
  • a second embodiment of the wall construction element of the invention is shown in Fig. 4 in which a larger cavity 29 is left in the extruded profile, for example in the same general shape as the exterior shape of the profile. Cavity 30 can then subse ⁇ quently be filled with an insulating foam to provide a structure having superior insulating properties.
  • a conduit 35 (Fig. 5) could similarly be formed in the foam interior 30 for carrying electrical and plumbing connections.
  • electrical wires 32 and pipe 34 could be embedded in foam core 30 before the core solidified.
  • FIG. 2 The manner in which the modular elements interlock is illustrated in Fig. 2.
  • a first row of elements 10, 10' at the same vertical height are arranged in the desired geometric shape (generally a square or rectangle) by arranging adjacent elements at right angles by abutting surface 38 of one element 10 with corresponding surface 12 of the adjacent perpendicular element 10' and groove 22 of element 10 aligned with notch 40 of element 10".
  • the next vertical row of elements 10" is placed on the lower row by aligning groove 22 of the upper element 10" over the upper wedge-shaped section 16 of the lower element 10, and notch 40 of element 10" over the end of the upper wedge-shaped section 16 of the lower perpendicular element 10' .
  • notch 40 alternates from one end of element 10 to the other as one proceeds vertically up the wall.
  • Stability is provided as surfaces 28 of element 10" bear vertically downwardly on shoulders 14 of element 10. In this way perpendicular self-supporting walls 12 having planar outer and inner surfaces 22 are created to the desired height.
  • Base piece 50 and top piece 52 for a wall can be formed as shown in Fig. 6.
  • Horizontal planar cuts 51, 53 in an extruded construction element 10 are made along the planes indicated in Figure 6, leaving an upper wedge- shaped piece 50 which will fit into groove 22 of an overly ⁇ ing element 10 to form the base elements on which the first row of construction elements 10 sit.
  • Lower notched piece 52 will also be formed as well as a central rectangular plank 56.
  • the lower section 52 can sit on the upper wedge- shaped section 16 of the top row of elements 10 to form a planar upper surface.
  • the left-over plank section 56 can be used for roofing or framing purposes in the building.
  • a top piece for attaching roofing can also be provided by making cut 53 a sloping cut to match the slope of the roof.
  • wall construction elements 10 may be formed from any material, preferably they are extruded in the desired cross-sectional shape from a waste granulated thermoplastic and waste filler material according to the method disclosed in Swedish patent application no. SE 893907 of C. Andersson filed November 21, 1989.
  • a continuous extruded member is produced from waste plastics heavily loaded with waste filler using a conventional screw ex- truder, a short extruder die and a reciprocating compact ⁇ ing die or "floating mould” which consolidates the ex- trudate without increasing extrusion resistance.
  • the proportion of plastic is in the range 20% - 40% with the balance waste paper, wood fibre or other waste fibrous material. The waste plastic serves to bind the material when heated.
  • This material has good insulating properties and its composition can be such as to produce a fire- resistant product.
  • the extrudate can be sawn like wood, and retains both nails and screws well, since the heat of driving in the fastener causes the adhesives in the ma ⁇ terial to melt and resolidify once the fastener is in place, holding it securely. Further, providing a hollow core in the extrudate leaves a member which is in fact stronger than a member with no hollow core, since the manner in which the molten plastic material cures leaves a tough skin on surface areas having a greater surface strength or tension than in non-surface areas.
  • the material in the desired cross-sectional shape is extruded to the desired length and sawn off at that length using a band saw or the like. Notches 40 are then sawn with the band saw.
  • the material can be painted using an acrylic paint or the like on surfaces 12 to produce a wall of the desired colour.
  • stability can be added to the walls by nailing or screwing. Nails will be driven into surface 12 of element 10" at an angle by air guns at regular intervals at location E (Fig.
  • doors and windows may be cut out with a power saw. Planks can be used to frame the doors and windows, for roofing or flooring. The resulting structure is considerably more stable than a conventional log construction.
  • Raceways for electrical wiring or plumbing can readily be formed in the walls as follows. Horizontal holes can be drilled to provide access to the conduits 32, 34 or 36. Where horizontal holes open to the exterior or interior on surface 12, outlets or plugs can be provided to close the conduit to the exterior at those locations or to provide a removable access. Vertical holes can also be drilled through the elements to join conduits at one level to those on another level.
