Description

Component for a kit

The present invention relates to a component for a kit for creating load-bearing structures, walls, walls with door or window cutouts, etc., with at least one beam.

Components of this type are known and customary on the market in various forms and designs. For this purpose, reference is made, for example, to DE 100 13 178. A hollow body made of wood, in particular hollow beams with a cover and a base element, is described there, these individual hollow bodies being connectable to one another in order to form a wall element or a ceiling element, for example.

Such a hollow body made of wood, in particular a hollow beam, is also suitable as a wall or

BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE Ceiling element, however, these are particularly suitable for very high loads or loads.

Furthermore, individual beams are known as the usual components for creating wall elements, which can be assembled, for example, into a wall element in the manner of a truss.

The disadvantage of this is that they are difficult to handle, cannot be universally connected and are in no way inexpensive. In addition, these are bulky and only allow a certain width of a wall element.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a component of the type mentioned, which eliminates the disadvantages mentioned, and which is suitable for using a kit to form a wide variety of wall elements, load-bearing structures, wall elements with door and / or window cutouts, which is easy to use and can be manufactured inexpensively. In addition, it should be stable and handy.

The solution to this problem is that two beams are connected to one another at a spacing parallel to one another via a plurality of connecting elements.

As a result, a wall element is formed, which is of a defined width, the component consisting of the two beams with connecting elements inserted between them being very light and stable.

The connecting elements are preferably connected to the respective adjacent beam elements via corresponding profiles in correspondingly provided grooves and preferably space them parallel. Openings, in particular spaces, are formed between individual connecting elements in the longitudinal directions and can serve to accommodate installations, electrical lines, heating and water lines, etc.

Another advantage of the present invention is that, in particular in the end regions of the beams, the connecting elements at least partially protrude somewhat from the end sides and a so-called overhang is formed.

The protrusion is suitable, for example, for nesting or inserting two components vertically into one another, so that centering is ensured against slipping sideways. This should also be within the scope of the present invention.

It should also be considered to produce the individual beams in different sizes and widths in different thicknesses in order to offer a universal kit for different wall thicknesses etc.

In addition, the individual components, which are preferably only made of wood, can also be made of other materials. These can, for example, also be provided in certain standardized different lengths in order to obtain desired standard heights or to provide components for lintels, window lintels etc. However, a desired length of a is always possible by sawing off

To receive component, so that, for example, individual

Adjustment work when creating walls, walls with

Door and / or window cutouts etc. can be made very easily and quickly on site. Such a lightweight construction is particularly suitable Component also as a kit for the handyman, who can do for example a roof extension, small houses, garages or other finishing work.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawing; this shows in

Figure la is a schematically illustrated plan view of an inventive component for a kit for creating load-bearing structures, such as walls;

Figure lb shows a schematically illustrated cross section through the component according to Figure la along line I-I;

Figure 2a is a perspective view of a basic construction of a wall element made of several components;

FIG. 2b shows a schematic plan view of the wall element according to FIG. 2a;

Figure 3a is a schematic perspective view of a door element with lintel, formed from several components;

FIG. 4a shows a schematically illustrated perspective view of a wall element with a window cutout, formed from several components;

4b shows a schematically illustrated top view of the wall element with a window cutout according to FIG. 4a.

According to FIG. 1 a, a component R according to the invention essentially has two bars 1, 2, which have a plurality of connecting elements 3 firmly connected to each other, preferably glued firmly. As is shown in particular in the cross-sectional illustration according to FIG. 1b, the connecting element is laterally provided with a profile 4, which engages in laterally formed grooves 5 of the two beams 1, 2.

As a result, the two bars 1, 2 are spaced apart at a distance A parallel to one another. Furthermore, the individual connecting elements 3 are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the beams 1, 2, so that an opening 6 or space is formed in each case between two connecting elements 3.

The groove 5, which is provided laterally in the beams 1 and 2, can, for example, only be milled in the area of the connecting elements 3. However, a continuous groove 5 should also be provided laterally in the beams 1 and 2 within the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to this.

Another advantage of the present invention is that the profiling 4 has a thickness Di that is less than a thickness D _{2 of} the beams 1 and 2.

Furthermore, it has been found to be particularly advantageous in the present invention that a protrusion 8 is formed in each of the end region 7 by slightly protruding the connecting element 3 from the end of the beams 1, 2.

The connecting element 3 protrudes just enough over the end region 7 of the beams 1, 2 on the end side that the length of the protrusion is approximately the same corresponds to how a difference in the thickness D _{2 of} the beams 1, 2 to the thickness Di of the connecting element 3.

If, for example, two components R are placed vertically on top of one another, the protrusion 8 engages between the beams 1, 2 of the other component R either in the region of the opening 6 or in the region of the connecting elements 3 and thereby ensures a lateral hold.

It has also proven to be advantageous if a width B of the beams 1, 2 approximately corresponds to a distance A between two beams 1, 2, a projection width U of the connecting element 3 in the region of the projection 8 also corresponding to the distance A.

According to FIG. 2a, a wall element 9 can be formed from a plurality of components R, in which a component R is placed on a base 10 and possibly fixed, with corresponding further components R perpendicular thereto, in particular with their connecting elements 3 at the end or protrusions 8 in the openings 6 or between the two bars 1, 2 can be inserted.

In this case, a plurality of corresponding components R can be set on a lying component R and a complete further component R can form a complete wall element, with an end board 11 possibly being assigned to the upper transverse component R in order to close the opening 6 ,

Then, for example, the wall can be formed from the outside by means of gypsum boards, wooden boards or the like. Paneling, insulation material being able to be introduced between the individual components R to complete a complete wall element 9. Due to the large number of openings 6, which are formed between each of the connecting elements 3 of an individual component R, electrical lines, sanitary lines, hot water lines, sewage lines, etc., which are not shown here, can be conveniently laid before the walls are closed.

For this purpose, for example, only a rear wall or an outer wall can be completed. Electrical lines, sanitary lines or installations of this type can then be introduced in order to close the other side to complete the wall element. The invention is not restricted to this. It is also important in the present invention that, by means of the universally usable components R, a distance between two components R from one another for creating a wall can be varied as desired, and can be adjusted as required.

In addition, the individual components R can be sawed off very easily or cut to a desired length. These can also be produced in different standardized lengths in order to form a possibly variable kit for the wall element 9, for example.

In the plan view according to FIG. 2b it can be seen how the individual components R are arranged one on top of the other, and the front-side connecting elements 3 at least partially engage between the respectively connecting components R or beams 1, 2. It should be remembered, for example, to firmly connect the individual components R to one another to form wall element 9 by means of screws, nails or even glue.

In FIGS. 3a and 3b, the individual components R are a door element 12 with a lintel in the prescribed manner educated. It can be seen that the individual components R can be manufactured and used in different lengths, for example by sawing. This can be done on site in particular when installing a corresponding door or wall element 12.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3b, a correspondingly similar door element 12 according to FIG. 3a is described, but two additional elongated components R are provided in the area of the through opening and an additional lintel from a component R is provided. Here it becomes clear that the same component R can be used to assemble a wide variety of door elements, with a wide range of stability and reinforcement. All that is required for this is a single type of component R from the beams 1, 2 described above with the connecting element 3.

As is also shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, a wall element 13 with a transversely inserted component R can be formed as a window cutout 14, for example by means of one and the same component R, by appropriate cutting to length.

For reinforcement and support, short ones can also be used

Components R, in particular cut components R are used. Any number of these can also be used there. Furthermore, any size of a window can be cut to length by cutting the individual

Realize components R, in particular build. The invention is not restricted to this. DR. PETER WEISS & DIPL.-ING. A. BRECHT
