Definitions
- the present invention concerns an improved system with modular elements for bricJcwork constructions of greatest solidity and constructive convenience, together with the necessary thermic and hydro- hygrometric nonconductivity.
- a special module corresponding to a module without hollow spaces, that is to be used for all needs of angulation and stonework connection, forming, alone, the replacement of many modules for special use (right angle and left angle, end of the wall, half module, crossing etc. ) .
- modules provided with horizontal and vertical canalizations forming, in use, a concrete network of small pillars and rafters, that can be possibly reinforced, homogeneous with the modules, laterally expanded until between the joints, such as to assure a more coherent and expanded resting base between superimposed modules;
- a polifunctional modular element provided with holes like hollow spaces, with a rational disposition of the volumes and of spaces belonging to said hollow spaces, particularly provided with an edging of the horizontal female joint, obtained by a throttling of said holes;
- a polyvalent modular element complementar with the normal modules, provided with a plurality of connection poles, and that may replace many kinds of special modules with directional peculiarity, characterized in horizontal tappings, separated in a plurality of projecting rostra, alternate to the combination of structural notchings on the modules, which are otherwise necessary for housing the joint- tappings of the transversally superimposed modules and that therefore may also be provided with a flexible position joint;
- a polyvalent modular element with a hollow space that has been functionally and on purpose conceived with a circuit having vertical holes, possibly connected and/or that may be connected with fiting horizontal grooves, arranged in such a position that some of these may be one by one provided with canalization and may continuously cemented nearby a possible transversal stonework coupling, whereby the flow of the cement casting doesn't pass into the adjacent holes;
- Figure 1 shows an axonometric view of a module according to the improved system for constructions.
- Figure 2 shows a front section of a plurality of modules according to figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows a module, pointing out the part having the horizontal female joint.
- Figures 4 and 5 show an axonometric and a plant view of a polyvalent module.
- Figures 6 and 7 show two examples of construction according to the present system.
- Figures 8 and 9 show axonometric views of a full module and of its corresponding polyvalent with prismatic tapping joints.
- Figure 10 shows a front scheme of the installation of full modules with prismatic sheathing joint, and in dotte lines special, complementar elements.
- Figures 11 and 12 show a variant of a full module and his corresponding polyvalent, with horizontal joints with circular expression the one, and with vertical joints with bent frontons.
- Figure 13 shows a variant of a module combined with one side provided with hollow spaces and one side full.
- Figure 14 shows a mix module, having a moderate presence of holes.
- the enclosed figures show an improved system with modular elements for constructions, comprising modules provided with hollow spaces, as shown in figure 1, and fitting for residential building, as well as full modules, as shown in figure 8, with high compactness of shapes and symbiosis with the network, suitable for boundary walls, constructions with high carrying capacity etc., and combined modules with a full and a holed side, as shown in figure 13, for particular needs of nonconductivity and at the same time robustness.
- All described modules according to the present system may be realized out of any material, comprising material with an extremely low resistance to compression and to various strains, as the cement framework, incorporated in the wall and possibly vertically and horizontally reinforced, is suitable alone to the carrying capacity of the work.
- a further feature of the system according to the present invention consists of the joints, different according to the needs of the different kinds of walls or parts of walls to realize - straight and orthogonal, straight with curved parts, very curved, etc. -: horizontal joints with plane and orthogonal sections for constructions with a prevaling linear development and with right angles; with prismatic or circular sections for the curved parts, and combinations thereof according to the needs.
- Each of said vertical joints may be combined with each of said horizontal joints, in any module suggested by the present invention; therefore it shall be underlined that all kinds of joints on the modules shown in the figures described hereinbelow are approximate and not linked to the specific element.
- the present invention may also provide that two kinds of horizontal rostrum joints are placed onto the same polyvalent module.
- a sheathing joint means the function of keeping the cement during casting, preventing the discharge or the outflow thereof into the hollow spaces-holes, and also that to each tapping corresponds an opposite groove which - for what concerns the horizontal grooves - preferably has a straigh development as shown in figure 3 for each kind of horizontal tapping provided but, for appropriate cases, the present invention also provides print groovings, i.e. carrying in negative the shape more or less corresponding to the opposite tappings and, in the case of a polyvalent module, thr print of both rostra separately.
- the system according to the present invention comprises:
- a module with horizontal channels 1-1' and vertical holes and channels, respectively 2-2* that may house a cement casting forming, in use, a network of small pillars 13 and rafters 14- 14', which may be possibly reinforced with cementable hollows for obtaining small casting blocks 15 between hollow frontons 17 and horizontal planes and bearings 16 arranged between the joints; a plurality of hollow space holes 3, communicating through channels 4, for improving the thermic insulation and for housing the placing of the service tubings like water, current, gas etc., and also for serving as a structural force reserve and for being used for a further reinforced cementation;
- a plurality of lateral grooves 5-6, 5'-6' that may be used for the external sealing cementation of the hollow spaces, which is an operation independent from the casting, that may also take place automatically with the plaster, and which has the purpose of guaranteeing a safe and widespread support to the peripherical small walls of the modules and of appropriately insulating the hollow spaces for improving the nonconductivity and the hydro-hygrometric seal thereof, especially when there is no plaster as in the case of a face-sight wall;
- Figure 3 shows a module, according to the preceding figures, seen from the side comprising the joint-grooving 11 perpendicular to said horizontal tappings, shown in a preferred embodiment and fitting for all kinds of horizontal tappings.
- Figure 4 shows a polyvalent module, complementar to the one shown in figure 1, and that may replace a plurality of accessory modules as it is provided with coupling means with the frontons - one of which is closed - as well as with the lateral walls, and with an arrangement of the hollow spaces-holes 3-19, so as to allow a precise continuity between channel 1-1' of the possibly coupled modules, and the channel of the belonging module, and all that without making the flow of the casting passing into the hollow spaces holes 3, near to those having the function of connection bridge 19.
- the channels are to be reinforced, and as it is convenient to eliminate the wall screen placed between a complete cement connection between the mentioned channels, and if the modules are not of a material sufficiently friable as to remove, with a few hammer blows, the obstructing part, the presence of appropriate engravings 20, which will facilitate the removing of the small screen-walls 21-21', with the lowest possible weakening of said module.
- a further additional peculiarity of the module according to the present invention is that the head fronton (i.e. the close one) may be transformed and that thus some parts thereof may be removed therefrom, so as to obtain a fronton shaped for a fine wall with a right- or left-hand abutment or also with a central projection according to the prefered sense chosen during installation, and for this purpose provided with internal and/or external breaking lines 26 and with a fitting position of the holes.
- a horizontal tapping which , for allowing the transversal and angular superimposition of the modules , consists of two separate tappings , called rostra, respectively arranged near and around, on three sides , the holes 2 that may be cemented near the cross ing points of the channels in correspondence with the lateral connection poles , so as to find , in use, the correct arangement in the corresponding joint- groovings , in longitudinal as well as in transversal sense , if they are c ompos e d according to a plane and orthogonal shape 24 ' - 24 " , and also in further positions if in one module at least one rostrum has a prismatic shape 10'-10" or a circular shape 23 '-23", whereby in this latter case the rostrum and therefore the whole module may be placed in various or unlimited angle gradations;
- joint-groovings 11' scarcely visible in the drawing, preferably consisting of longitudinal plane groovings as shown in figure 3, with the difference that, as they run along the closed side of the channel 1, said groovings appear, in that piece, to be connected;
- Figure 5 shows a plant view of a variant of the polyvalent module of figure 4, characterized in a central slit 25 and in breaking lines 26, so that in can be separated in halves, provided also for the other kinds of modules and also for the not polyvalent ones, and for exemplifying reasons in a heading fronton with only two removable parts, clearly shown by the dotted lines and respectively shown with A-A and B-B.
- the further elements are also pointed out:
- the kind of wall shown in figure 6 is obtained, and provided with hollow spaces 3-19, 4-4' for the installation of the services S pipes and wires, and for containing iron F and cement casting X, like the special channels 1-1', 2-2', thus serving as a structural receiver and allowing an automatic expansion of the use possibilities of the modules, increasing their functionality, as it is shown by the lintel in the figure.
- Figue 7 shows a square section of the stonework, pointing out the cement casting in the conventional channels 1-1', 2-2', with the resulting network of small pillars 13 and rafters 14, linked with the modules and with a substantial volume balance between the crossed seams composing them, forming a homogeneous and constant cement sheathing, winding the possible reinforcement irons in each part of their way. Furthermore, in said figure the bearings 16 between the joints and the frontal projections 15 are shown.
- the system according to the present invention provides modules with a plurality of flanked holes and channels that may be cemented, also the realization of works putting together a plurality of networks that are parallel and possibly connected by transverse channel pieces.
- Figure 8 shows a module according to the present invention, provided only with grooves and holes for cementation by casting, but in a more articulated arrangement of empty spaces that may be cemented and modular masses, with the purpose of balancing the solidity of the volumes of the parts and to homogenize them with reciprocal windings and permeations.
- the module shown in the figure has side masses and central parts solidly completed, and with compared holes and vertical channels 2-2' and horizontal channels 1-1 ' ; said vertical channels 2 ' are linked with the front grooves 9-9', and said channels 1-1' are longitudinal lateral expansions in said horizontal grooves 17-17', further expanded in the grooves 16 between the joints, forming - after the cement casting - said bearings. Furthermore, said grooves 9-9', 17-17' form the way for hooking means 27 consisting of grooves or projections that link up the cement casting with the lateral parts of the modules. All described parts together form, in use, a wall with a possibly reinforced and winding network, consisting of:
- An additional detail in the present embodiment consists of a vertical sheathing-joint with alternate tappings 7-8, 7 '-8 ' , that makes the frontons polyvalent in use, and that is provided and may be applied also in and to the already described modules with hollow spaces.
- Figure 10 shows two superimposed modules, whereby the shape of the composed rafter 14 ' , expanded in the longitudinal grooves 17-17' and that further expands laterally with the cement bearings 16, is pointed out.
- Figure 10 also shows in a scheme two special complementar modules of which the dotted line shows the respective shapes, exclusive of the parts wedged in between lines C-C and D-D; of the two modules, the upper one will be the last one in a wall with a floor for englobing its kerb, while the lower one will be on the first line suspended onto an opening, for forming a lintel with standstill slope.
- the full module for walls with high gradation curves has horizontal joints with circular expression 23 with straight pieces 33-33', having the function of a sheathing completing the circuit, insulated by cuts 20 and arranged so that they can be removed in those parts of the walls with the highest curving with the vertical tapping formed with arcs 29-30 projecting and re-entrant for a curve placing on the wall without a previous plugging on the wide side of the curve.
- the bent parts 29-30 show linings that may not necessarily joint one with the other and that have the function of a sheathing and which moreover are not needed if the material is rough and porous.
- Figure 12 shows the polyvalent of the preceding example, which also shows a solution with a module mixed with a polyvalent and a normal one, as it is provided with a limited number of side connections and of channel outlet points 28; the side connections shown in the figure have a quadruple grooving 31-31 so as to house the frontons with projecting arcs 29 as well as those with re- entered arcs 30.
- the rostra with circular expression 23'-23 that make up the horizontal tapping, form circular reliefs without impediments and therefore able to allow the superimposition of the modules in any gradation.
- the variant of the combined module with one side provided with hollow spaces and the other one full - shown in figue 13 - seems to be fitting for residential constructions in areas with saltness and cold, and the full side will be used turned outwards.
- the corresponding polyvalent module obviously consists of a coupling of two sides of a polyvalent module, one with hollow spaces and one full.
- the variant of mixed module according to figure 14 has the robustness of a full module and the moderate presence of holes not explicitly meant for cementation, i.e. the horizontal channels 4 and the vertical ones 3-32 meant for the placing of the pipes and service wires or also for cementation.
- tappings 24 are plane.
- the compositive solution is provided for all modules of using special insulating materials used instead of said holes and/or hollow spaces - channels.
- the corresponding polyvalent module is equal to the polyvalent module shown in figures 4 and 5, with the evident above described differences.
- half-modules are also provided, as well as the one of specific angular elements, like left angle - right angle, as well as the one of modules with one single side mass or perforated side, or with the sole essential walls, to the sides of the channels and holes that may be cemented 1-1' , 2-2' .
