Description

CONSTRUCTION METHOD AND ASSEMBLY

The present invention relates to a method of constructing all or part of a building comprising a framework and using construction panels, as well as a construction assembly allowing the implementation of this method.

It has become common to use prefabricated building panels to make walls, glazing, verandas or roofs in an apartment or villa, around a platform, a stage, a display or the like, for a cladding, a shelter, an awning, a fence or the like, for a decoration device such as a planter, etc. what will be generally called hereinafter a building. Glazing of this type is found, for example, under the brand name Lexan Thermoclear ^® , glazing sold by GE Plastics Products.

As a general rule, the panels used, when they are substantially rigid, consist of two plates which are substantially parallel to one another. When they are not glazing, the plates are generally connected together by a plurality of ribs, for example parallel to at least one of the edges of the panel, thus determining a plurality of internal channels.

There are thus panels formed of polycarbonates or polystyrenes transparent for light, having, for example, an internal honeycomb structure. There are also signs opaque and / or so-called sandwich composites comprising, for example, a porous core of polyurethane foam, and even fabrics.

Conventionally, the glazing and the panels with an internal honeycomb structure are fixed by simple pinching in rebates formed in aluminum or polypropylene (PVC) profiles provided with seals, for example rubber or neoprene, ensuring both the fixing and sealing against water, in particular condensation, and avoiding any contamination by dust. Such fixing by pinching also makes it possible to overcome the problems of thermal expansion.

On the other hand, the cladding and the porous foam core panels are generally fixed by bolting to a fixed supporting frame.

Therefore, the installation or removal of such panels requires significant time, which makes these panels unusable for substantially mobile applications, such as to protect the stall of a trader on a market or create a traveling room, a greenhouse or planter.

In addition, the obligation to use profi les in certain cases increases the cost of a building which is also carried out.

The present inventi we place ourselves in this context and aims to obviate the aforementioned i nconveniences, by means of a method and a construction assembly which is, in particular, particularly economical, since it is simple and quick to implement. artwork. The invention therefore relates first of all to a method of constructing all or part of a building comprising a framework and using at least one construction panel.

According to the invention, the construction method comprises the following steps:

- one affixes to the panel a first plurality of eli ngues crossing the panel on either side, parallel to each other and separated from each other; - the ends of the slings are anchored to the frame; and

- stretch the elgues.

Advantageously, it is possible to fix to the panels a second plurality of slings passing through the panels on either side parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to those of the aforementioned first plurality of slings.

Also advantageously, at least part of the slings passing through the panels is previously housed in a strip.

Preferably, the slings are anchored to the frame by means of a tensioner and / or an elastic shock absorber.

When several panels are required side by side on edge, two adjacent panels are connected by a longitudinal locking bar parallel to the first plurality of each of the panels and respectively covering parallel end portions opposite each of the panels.

Preferably, at least one sling passes through this locking bar parallel to the slings of the first plurality of slings from each of the panels, and is anchored to the frame possibly by means of a shock absorber and / or a tensioner.

Also preferably, two adjacent panels on edge are connected together by a transverse locking bar crossed by the first plurality of slings common to each of the panels and respectively covering the parallel end portions opposite each of the panels.

According to another aspect, the invention relates to a construction assembly for implementing the aforementioned method, comprising at least one panel crossed on either side by a first plurality of slings parallel to each other and separated from each other , the ends of the slings being provided with anchoring means to the frame.

The invention will be better understood, and other objects, advantages and characteristics thereof will appear more clearly on reading the following description of preferred embodiments given without limitation and to which a plate of drawings is attached. on which :

Figure 1 schematically shows in perspective two superimposed construction assemblies, each of the assemblies being in accordance with the present invention;

Figure 2 shows schematically in section a construction assembly according to the present invention;

Figure 3 shows schematically in section a longitudinal locking bar disposed between two panels of a building assembly according to the invention;

Figure 4 shows schematically in section a strip capable of being implemented by the invention; and Figure 5 schematically illustrates in section the realization of a roof by implementing the invention.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown in Figure 1 two construction assemblies 10, 12 according to the invention, type assembly with honeycomb structure. The two sets 10, 12 are substantially identical. They each consist of a panel 14, 16 crossed on either side by a first plurality of slings 18, 20 respectively parallel to each other and separated from each other. The ends of the slings are provided with anchoring means 22, 22 ', 24, 24', for example a knot formed by splicing, making it possible to fix them to the framework (not shown) of the building. Obviously, it is not necessary to use superimposed panels as shown in Figure 1, each according to the invention, to make a building.

As best seen in Figure 2, each of the panels

14, 16 consists of two substantially planar and parallel walls 26, 28 interconnected, in the example shown, by a plurality of ribs 30, 32 determining parallel passages between them.

Additional ribs 34 are often used as reinforcement. These additional ribs 34 may constitute diagonal walls located in the aforementioned parallel passages

(as shown in the Figures) or assign the shape of an X or any other possible shape.

At least two of the parallel passages are capable of accommodating a sling 18. To this end, the passages concerned are preferably devoid of additional internal ribs. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, each sling 18 is possibly housed in a strip 36 whose shape cooperates substantially with the passage concerned to distribute the support forces on the upper wall 26 of the panel, avoid the punching of materials and limit the extraneous noise, for example due to a displacement caused by the wind resistance of the panel. However, the materials used and the precise shape of the strip 36 must be chosen according to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of each of them.

The sling 18 can therefore be embedded in the strip 36 or else simply cross this strip. In Figure 4, there is shown schematically in section a preferred strip 36, made in two parts 361, 362 between which a space 38 is provided to accommodate the sling 18. Such a strip 36 in two parts greatly promotes the establishment from the whole.

Such a strip 36 in two parts can, of course, possibly have a connecting veil between the two parts.

In an exemplary embodiment, the panels 14, 16 are made of polycarbonate or polystyrene, while the strip 36 is made of rubber, EPDM ^® , Macrolon ^® or a compound containing the butyl radical, the sling being a stranded cable of stainless steel.

It should be noted here that by the expression "sling" is meant cables, cords, ropes, halyards, straps, belts, chains, rods, tubes or the like, it being understood that cables are preferred here, in particular multi cables - strands. In addition, the sling can be sheathed or not. 7

Returning to FIG. 1, two superimposed panels 14, 16 preferably have their respective ribs 30, 32 arranged perpendicular to one another, so as to increase the rigidity and the resistance of the assembly in the event of significant external loads. , such as snow likely to accumulate on an exterior wall or the weight of a roofer operating on the roof thus constituted.

In Figure 3, there is shown schematically the junction of two adjacent panels 40, 42 arranged side by side on their respective edges and whose respective slings 44, 46 are mutually parallel and substantially arranged in the same plane.

The two adjacent panels 40, 42 are connected together by a longitudinal locking bar 48 substantially parallel to the slings 44, 46 of the panels 40, 42. This locking bar 48 covers respectively the parallel end portions opposite each of the panels 40 , 42. This locking bar 48 serves in particular as a seal between the panels 40, 42 which it bites slightly. A space 50, 52 is favorably provided to allow thermal expansion of each of the components.

Preferably, but not necessarily, an additional sling 54 substantially parallel to the slings 44 and 46 of the adjacent panels 40, 42, is housed in the longitudinal locking bar 48, so as to form the reinforcement of the assembly.

Similarly, for two adjacent panels using the same slings, a simple transverse locking bar 86 (see Figure 5), crossed by the slings of the panels 60, 60 ', can 8 be provided between them, so as to ensure the watertightness of the building.

Figure 5 schematically illustrates in section the construction of a roof implementing the invention. The construction assembly comprises at least the panel 60 (and, for example, the panel 60 ′) and its slings 62. The sling 62 is fixed on either side by its ends 64, 66 to the frame or to the frame 70, 72. The assembly rests on a wall 74 and on beams 84 spaced from one another and intended to avoid any deflection of the roof. These beams 84 can, of course, be longitudinal and / or transverse.

The two panels 60, 60 'implement, in the example shown, the same slings 62, and are joined by a transverse locking bar 86 ensuring the seal between the two. This bar 86 here carries a ring 88 for hanging a guy cable 90, for example fixed to a mast (not shown), this guy cable 90 being capable of replacing a beam 84 or come 1 help.

One end of the sling 62 is fixed to the frame 72 by means of a tensioner 80 comprising, for example, an emery, and of an elastic damping means 78, for example a spiral spring or a Bel levi l rondel game with high stiffness, or a fluidic or equivalent veri n, making it possible to resume everything at faith, in particular, possible vibrations, respective thermal di latations and overloads.

Obviously, one or the other of the frames 70, 72 may comprise a return pulley, the tensioner 80 and damped means 78 then possibly being transferred between the end of the sling 62 and a mass, for example constituted by the bearing wall 74.

To complete the construction of the roof, there is also provided a gutter 76, for example slinged, and a protective panel 82, for example a ridge, connected to a central beam (not shown) of the frame. The whole is then completely protected from the weather.

Obviously, the locking bar 48, 86 can have different shapes. In particular for a longitudinal locking bar 48, when the end passage of each of the panels 40, 42 is open on its edge, the locking bar 48 may have protuberances penetrating by force or by sliding in these passages. Likewise, a transverse locking bar 86 can also have protrusions penetrating by force between the ribs of the adjacent panels, and / or comprise a transverse sling.

Building assemblies can thus be obtained which can have large surfaces, for example of more than 12 m ² , despite the efforts undergone, and which can even safely support the point weight of a roofer ensuring the maintenance of these assemblies. Panel rebates are no longer required, which allows a building to be produced much more quickly and without the need for special profiles, thereby reducing costs and construction time.

Furthermore, by placing such construction sets side by side, extremely large areas can be reached. For example, by forming a matrix of 3 x 3 panels of 6 x 2 m each, we can cover an area of almost 110 m ² . 10

In addition, a building thus produced can be easily folded, which promotes the implementation of the invention for the protection of stands during faiths, temporary markets or form traveling rooms with all the required security. This is all the more so since the above-mentioned framework can simply consist of a plurality of trees which can be protected by means of belts to avoid injuring them.

In addition, the panels thus used can provide a significant saving in terms of lighting, when they transmit light, and / or air conditioning (heating or cooling), since they have no thermal bridge.

Another advantage, a roof thus produced can be removable or at least partially sliding. Note also that an ridge can also be made in accordance with the invention.

Although we have represented and described what are currently considered to be the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is obvious that those skilled in the art will be able to make various changes and modifications thereto without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined below.

For example, a roof, a greenhouse, a wall or a fence can be made by means of two superimposed construction assemblies of the type which has just been described, but separated by a space capable of constituting a passage for closable ventilation, the passage of a curtain, a removable sun visor, an advertising or information poster, a lighting system, garlands of light or not, cables or tubes, elements of 11 security, of a compost to constitute a hanging planter, or equivalent.

The panels can also include earth plates at least on their outer wall. Indeed, the slings gives them sufficient rigidity to safely carry such a glass plate. Solar panels can be identically and favorably carried in this way.

The panels are however preferably chosen from the group comprising cellular panels, so-called sandwich panels, double glazing, fabrics or the like.
