Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices for positioning and fixing structural reinforcement elements for concrete, and more specifically, the present invention relates to one of these devices that is coupled to a spacer either of the discoid type or lateral spacer or any another accessory, and allows it to be fixed with respect to a reference surface, such as the formwork itself or other relatively soft surrounding material, especially in construction joints or thermal insulators.
- the concrete is emptied using formwork commonly by modules of one or several houses at the same time, so that they are monolithic structures and present the complication that when finishing a module and starting the next, it is impossible to use both sides of the formwork, so that one of the walls, the one that was cast first, serves as the formwork.
- a problem that usually occurs is to keep the distance devices in position, when the concrete is poured on the structure, in order to ensure that the design is met, and that there is a constant concrete thickness between the structural elements and at least one of the reference surfaces, such as the surface of the finished wall.
- the device object of the present invention being in contact with panels of soft materials, fix them so that they act as thermal or acoustic insulation between two concrete walls or structures or between a concrete wall or structure and the exterior.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a coupling element that can be coupled with a spacer or lateral spacer of conventional disc type or any other type, which does not interfere with the function own of the spacer or lateral spacer and that guarantees its operation in accordance with its design.
- the device of the invention when it is coupled to the disc or side spacer and stuck in the construction joint, pushes it towards the concrete wall of the adjacent module that at this time acts as a formwork, keeps the disc and reinforcement steel in position, and allows to close the formwork properly and be ready to empty the concrete.
- construction joint By keeping the construction joint aligned and glued to the concrete start wall, it is allowed to operate at 100%; when pushing it, it prevents the disk from digging into it and detaching itself from the adjoining wall, making all the elements of the wall work properly, otherwise the construction joint is misaligned causing concrete to slip between each panel, resulting in a smaller wall thickness than projected and with a bad position of the reinforcing steel.
- the fixing device of the invention basically consists of: a) a post intended to be "nailed" on a relatively soft surface, such as polystyrene panels or similar materials, to keep a spacer or lateral spacer device fixed, for example of the type of a conventional disk or a side spacer, with a perpendicular section projected almost at the end of the post that functions as a limit and a stop, of the maximum space to stick the body in the soft material, and b) clip-like fastening means, for fastening the device to a section of a conventional spacer or lateral spacer, consisting of a pair of intercoupler clamps and joined at a common point that serves as a hinge, and that surrounds an area of the perimeter of the body of the spacer or lateral spacer to be coupled .
- One of the clamps is an essentially straight elongated element that projects "upwards" from the point of attachment with the post of the fixing device, and that runs in parallel direction, although displaced from the center line of the lower post, in order to surround a coupling section with the spacer or side spacer;
- the second clamp is an elongated element that projects from the point of attachment to the post, in a direction perpendicular to it, which can be moved from more or less free way at the point of attachment of the clamp with the post, which acts as a hinge.
- Both clamps are displaced laterally with respect to the central line of the post so that they can surround the clamping area in the body of the spacer or lateral spacer to which it will be coupled so that its free ends can be coupled together with clamping means located near its ends, thus fixing itself to the body of said spacer.
- the assembly is capable of being fixed in a predetermined position, by first attaching the spacer or lateral spacer assembly and device of the invention to the structural element in question, and subsequently the assembly is fixed to a reference surface, such as a wall of soft material made of, for example, expanded polystyrene, in which the device of the invention can be inserted by pressure ("nailing"), thus allowing the structural element to be fixed in position with respect to said reference surface.

- insertion leg consists of a straight element
- the upper section includes appropriate fastening means for coupling the device with the spacer, either of the disc type or lateral spacer or of any other type, as illustrated in the following Figures.
- the fastening means are constituted by:
- the first straight straight arm (120) is essentially a projection of the lower section (110), being parallel to the central axis of said lower section (110) but displaced from said central axis by a distance such that its inner face (relative to of said central axis) coincides with the plane of one of the faces of the spacer, for example of disc type or of lateral spacer, forming the main body of the device (100).
- the second arm (130) which in the "non-use” position of the device projects perpendicularly to the body of the device, in the opposite direction to that of movement of the first arm, and which joins the body of the device in a zone (180) whose thickness is sufficient to provide flexibility since it has functions of a hinge that allows the arm to flex (130) in the direction shown by the arrow arc "A" to couple the coupling element (170) in a manner hook, at its free end, with the corresponding coupling element (160) located as a projection from the inner face of the first arm (120), at a distance such that the securing between both coupling elements is allowed.
- the first arm has a thickness greater than the second arm although less than that of the lower section of the device, in order to guarantee its rigidity; the displacement with respect to the central axis of the device, allowing the axis of the spacer or lateral spacer to be collinear with that of the device, ensures that the forces transmitted by the spacer or lateral spacer are directed directly to the lower section, with which the force transmission radius of said separator;
- the first arm has two curves at its two ends, that of union with the lower section (110) and the free end, so that any effort on said arm is also derived to the lower section (110).
- the first arm (120) has means (grooves and flanges) (150) that fit the profile of the spacer or side spacer to which the device is to be coupled.
- first arm (120) has a projection (195) on its inner face, with an appropriate profile to adapt to that produced in the spacer
- the device of the invention fits perfectly inside the hole (220) of the disc (200); the projection (250) will be oriented coincidentally with the central axis of the device (100), then allowing the transmission of the stresses caused by the elements of the structure, towards the lower section (110) of the device (100) and finally, towards the reference surface, as will be seen later.
- the second arm (130) bends over itself (as indicated by the arc "A" in the Figure
- this panel (500) is of a "soft" material, such as foam of polystyrene, in which the bevelled end of the lower section (110) of the device of the invention (100) can be “nailed” with relative ease, anchoring the assembly (300) and hence stabilizing the steel reinforcement or structural reinforcement steel (400).
- Figure 7 shows an arrangement in which the soft panel (500) functions as a construction joint between a concrete wall
- the adapter (100) places the constructive joint (500) in its fully parallel operating position and adjoining (stuck or adhered) with said finished wall (600), keeps the disc (200) in the correct position by holding and separating the steel from reinforcement (400) in the position in which the projected concrete coatings will be achieved, and keeping the formwork at a distance in the moment that the desired wall thickness will be obtained; it can be seen in the figure that the thickness of the concrete wall of the new wall is determined by the position of the formwork (700) and this in turn is defined by the measure of the spacer (200).
- Figure 8 shows an arrangement in the case where the soft panel (500) functions as a thermal or acoustic insulator lining the outer part of the concrete walls, in this case the device (100) also places the panel (500) in its fully parallel operating position and bordering the outer or perimeter part of the wall bounded at the time by the outer face of the formwork, keeps the disc (200) in the correct position by holding and separating the reinforcing steel (400) in the position in which the projected concrete coatings will be achieved, and keeping the internal formwork (700) at the distance in which the desired wall thickness will be obtained.
- Figure 9 illustrates an alternative use of the device of the invention (100), coupled in this case to a tube spacer (800), and where it is appreciated that the adjustment means (160) can be modified without depart from the original concept of the device. While a particular spacer disc design has been used to illustrate the inventive concept of the invention, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the configuration of said device in order to conform to the profiles of other spacers commonly known and commercially available, especially as regards the location of the projections and grooves that will receive the contact elements with the distance device in question, and therefore, it should be understood that such modifications would not lead to the device obtained with such adaptations, beyond the scope of the present invention, which should be considered in the light of the following claims.

CAMPO TÉCNICOTECHNICAL FIELD
La presente invención se relaciona con dispositivos para el posicionamiento y fijación de elementos estructurales de refuerzo para concreto, y más específicamente, la presente invención se relaciona con uno de estos dispositivos que se acopla a un espaciador ya sea de tipo discoidal o espaciador lateral o a cualesquier otro accesorio, y permite fijarlo con respecto a una superficie de referencia, tal como la propia cimbra u otro material aledaño relativamente suave, especialmente en juntas constructivas o aislantes térmicos.The present invention relates to devices for positioning and fixing structural reinforcement elements for concrete, and more specifically, the present invention relates to one of these devices that is coupled to a spacer either of the discoid type or lateral spacer or any another accessory, and allows it to be fixed with respect to a reference surface, such as the formwork itself or other relatively soft surrounding material, especially in construction joints or thermal insulators.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la edificación de casas de concreto y algunas construcciones similares, se vacia el concreto utilizando cimbras comúnmente por módulos de una o varias casas a la vez, de tal forma que son estructuras monolíticas y presentan la complicación de que al terminar un módulo e iniciar el siguiente, es imposible utilizar las dos caras
de la cimbra, por lo que uno de los muros, el que fue colado primero, hace las veces de cimbra.In the construction of concrete houses and some similar constructions, the concrete is emptied using formwork commonly by modules of one or several houses at the same time, so that they are monolithic structures and present the complication that when finishing a module and starting the next, it is impossible to use both sides of the formwork, so that one of the walls, the one that was cast first, serves as the formwork.
El empleo de dispositivos de distanciamiento y/o separación lateral de elementos estructurales para la producción de muros u otros cuerpos de concreto, es bien conocido en el arte. Algunos de los elementos distanciadores toman la forma de soportes esencialmente cilindricos o troncocónicos sobre los cuales se soportan los elementos estructurales; esta clase de distanciadores reciben el nombre convencional de separadores; un ejemplo de ellos se encuentra descrito en el documento PCT/MX2005/000017 (Ferro, 2005), cuyas enseñanzas se incorporan a la presente por referencia.The use of distancing devices and / or lateral separation of structural elements for the production of walls or other concrete bodies, is well known in the art. Some of the distance elements take the form of essentially cylindrical or truncated conical supports on which the structural elements are supported; This class of spacers are called conventional separators; An example of these is described in document PCT / MX2005 / 000017 (Ferro, 2005), whose teachings are incorporated herein by reference.
Otros, empleados típicamente en la producción de columnas, muros con dos o más armados de acero y otras estructuras de refuerzo que requieran de separación lateral, toman la forma de discos con una entrada o boca por la que se hace pasar un elemento estructural de manera que ocupe el centro del dispositivo, colineal con el eje de rotación del mismo; estos dispositivos tienen varias ventajas, entre ellas que la distancia entre el elemento estructural y cualquier punto sobre la superficie exterior del dispositivo que se encuentre en contacto con una superficie, es aproximadamente constante, debido a la forma circular de dicho dispositivo; un ejemplo de esta clase de dispositivos
se describe en el documento PCT/MX2005/000031 (Ferro, 2004), cuyas enseñanzas se incorporan a la presente por referenciaOthers, typically used in the production of columns, walls with two or more reinforced steel and other reinforcement structures that require lateral separation, take the form of discs with an entrance or mouth through which a structural element is passed in a manner that occupies the center of the device, collinear with its axis of rotation; these devices have several advantages, among them that the distance between the structural element and any point on the outer surface of the device that is in contact with a surface is approximately constant, due to the circular shape of said device; an example of this class of devices It is described in document PCT / MX2005 / 000031 (Ferro, 2004), whose teachings are incorporated herein by reference
En estos y otros casos conocidos en,,-él arte, un problema que suele presentarse es el mantener en posición a los dispositivos distanciadores, cuando se vierte el concreto sobre la estructura, a fin de asegurar que se cumple con el diseño, y que hay un espesor constante de concreto entre los elementos estructurales y al menos una de las superficies de referencia, como puede ser la superficie del muro terminado .In these and other known cases in ,, - the art, a problem that usually occurs is to keep the distance devices in position, when the concrete is poured on the structure, in order to ensure that the design is met, and that there is a constant concrete thickness between the structural elements and at least one of the reference surfaces, such as the surface of the finished wall.

BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Con referencia a los sistemas constructivos modulares antes referidos, es sabido que entre los muros colindantes de dichos módulos, se sitúa una junta constructiva que permite que las estructuras liberen tensiones y tengan movimientos sin chocar o dañarse entre ellas. Sin embargo suele apreciarse que existen desplazamientos entre los elementos lo que se traduce en una distribución desigual de los espesores de concreto una vez terminado el "colado".With reference to the modular construction systems referred to above, it is known that between the adjoining walls of said modules, a construction joint is placed that allows the structures to release tension and have movements without colliding or damaging each other. However, it is usually appreciated that there are displacements between the elements which translates into an unequal distribution of concrete thicknesses once the "casting" is finished.
En la descripción siguiente, el uso de alguno de los términos: disco, separador, espaciador lateral, distanciador o soporte para estructuras convencional, se entenderá que refiere a cualquiera de ellos, de manera
indistinta, que sea disponible comercialmente o que forme parte del estado de la técnica.In the following description, the use of any of the terms: disk, separator, lateral spacer, spacer or support for conventional structures, will be understood to refer to any of them, in a manner indistinct, commercially available or part of the state of the art.
El dispositivo de la invención, que se describirá más adelante, al ser acoplado al disco o espaciador lateral y clavarse en la junta constructiva, empuja a ésta hacia el muro de concreto del módulo colindante que en este momento hace las veces de cimbra, mantiene al disco y al acero de refuerzo en su posición, y permite cerrar correctamente la cimbra y quedar lista para vaciar el concreto.The device of the invention, which will be described later, when it is coupled to the disc or side spacer and stuck in the construction joint, pushes it towards the concrete wall of the adjacent module that at this time acts as a formwork, keeps the disc and reinforcement steel in position, and allows to close the formwork properly and be ready to empty the concrete.
Al mantener la junta constructiva alineada y pegada al muro de concreto de arranque, se permite que funcione al 100%; al empujarla, evita que el disco se clave en ella y se despegue del muro colindante, logrando que todos los elementos del muro trabajen correctamente, de otra manera la junta constructiva se desalinea provocando que se cuele concreto entre cada panel, resultando un muro de menor espesor que lo proyectado y con una mala posición del acero de refuerzo.By keeping the construction joint aligned and glued to the concrete start wall, it is allowed to operate at 100%; when pushing it, it prevents the disk from digging into it and detaching itself from the adjoining wall, making all the elements of the wall work properly, otherwise the construction joint is misaligned causing concrete to slip between each panel, resulting in a smaller wall thickness than projected and with a bad position of the reinforcing steel.
Adicionalmente, en un uso alternativo el dispositivo ayuda a la colocación correcta del panel, generalmente fabricado de poliestireno, de manera que actúe como aislante térmico o acústico entre un muro o estructura de concreto y el exterior.
El dispositivo de fijación de la invención consiste básicamente de: a) un poste destinado a ser "clavado" en una superficie relativamente blanda, tal como paneles de poliestireno o materiales similares, para mantener fijo un dispositivo distanciador o espaciador lateral, por ejemplo del tipo de un disco convencional o un espaciador lateral, con una sección perpendicular proyectada casi al final del poste que funciona como límite y tope, del espacio máximo a clavarse del cuerpo en el material suave, y b) medios de sujeción de tipo "clip", para sujetar el dispositivo a una sección de un distanciador o espaciador lateral convencional, consistentes en un par de abrazaderas interacoplables y unidas en un punto común que hace las veces de bisagra, y que rodean una zona del perímetro del cuerpo del distanciador o espaciador lateral a acoplarse.Additionally, in an alternative use the device helps the correct placement of the panel, generally made of polystyrene, so that it acts as a thermal or acoustic insulator between a concrete wall or structure and the exterior. The fixing device of the invention basically consists of: a) a post intended to be "nailed" on a relatively soft surface, such as polystyrene panels or similar materials, to keep a spacer or lateral spacer device fixed, for example of the type of a conventional disk or a side spacer, with a perpendicular section projected almost at the end of the post that functions as a limit and a stop, of the maximum space to stick the body in the soft material, and b) clip-like fastening means, for fastening the device to a section of a conventional spacer or lateral spacer, consisting of a pair of intercoupler clamps and joined at a common point that serves as a hinge, and that surrounds an area of the perimeter of the body of the spacer or lateral spacer to be coupled .
Una de las abrazaderas es un elemento alargado esencialmente recto que se proyecta "hacia arriba" desde el punto de unión con el poste del dispositivo de fijación, y que corre en dirección paralela, aunque desplazada de la linea central del poste inferior, a fin de rodear una sección de acoplamiento con el distanciador o espaciador lateral; la segunda abrazadera es un elemento alargado que se proyecta desde el punto de unión con el poste, en dirección perpendicular a éste, que so puede mover de
manera más o menos libre en el punto de unión de la abrazadera con el poste, que hace las veces de bisagra. Ambas abrazaderas están desplazadas lateralmente respecto de la linea central del poste de manera que puedan rodear la zona de sujeción en el cuerpo del distanciador o espaciador lateral a que se acoplará de manera que sus extremos libres puedan acoplarse entre si con medios de sujeción situados cerca de sus extremos, fijándose de esta manera al cuerpo de dicho distanciador.One of the clamps is an essentially straight elongated element that projects "upwards" from the point of attachment with the post of the fixing device, and that runs in parallel direction, although displaced from the center line of the lower post, in order to surround a coupling section with the spacer or side spacer; the second clamp is an elongated element that projects from the point of attachment to the post, in a direction perpendicular to it, which can be moved from more or less free way at the point of attachment of the clamp with the post, which acts as a hinge. Both clamps are displaced laterally with respect to the central line of the post so that they can surround the clamping area in the body of the spacer or lateral spacer to which it will be coupled so that its free ends can be coupled together with clamping means located near its ends, thus fixing itself to the body of said spacer.
Una vez acoplado el dispositivo de la invención al distanciador o espaciador lateral, el conjunto es susceptible de fijarse en una posición predeterminada, sujetando primero el conjunto de distanciador o espaciador lateral y dispositivo de la invención al elemento estructural en cuestión, y posteriormente el conjunto se fija a una superficie de referencia, tal como una pared de material suave fabricada de, por ejemplo, poliestireno expandido, en la que el dispositivo de la invención pueda insertarse por presión ("clavarse"), permitiendo asi fijar al elemento estructural en su posición con respecto de dicha superficie de referencia.Once the device of the invention is coupled to the spacer or lateral spacer, the assembly is capable of being fixed in a predetermined position, by first attaching the spacer or lateral spacer assembly and device of the invention to the structural element in question, and subsequently the assembly is fixed to a reference surface, such as a wall of soft material made of, for example, expanded polystyrene, in which the device of the invention can be inserted by pressure ("nailing"), thus allowing the structural element to be fixed in position with respect to said reference surface.

Los medios de sujeción están constituidos por:The fastening means are constituted by:
a) Un primer brazo sustancialmente recto (120) , rigido, unido a la sección inferior (110) del dispositivo (100) , formando un solo cuerpo, b) Un segundo brazo (130), semiflexible,
c) Un elemento de bisagra (180) entre dicho segundo brazo y dicho cuerpo del dispositivo, d) Una proyección o tope (140), que se proyecta perpendicularmente al eje central del dispositivo y que define la profundidad máxima de la inserción del dispositivo en la superficie de referencia, e) Elementos de acoplamiento cooperables entre si localizados, uno de ellos (170) en el extremo del segundo brazo (130), y el segundo (160), en un sitio sobre la cara interior del primer brazo (120) que permita el acoplamiento con el primer elemento de acoplamiento (170) .a) A first substantially straight arm (120), rigid, attached to the lower section (110) of the device (100), forming a single body, b) A second arm (130), semi-flexible, c) A hinge element (180) between said second arm and said device body, d) A projection or stop (140), which projects perpendicularly to the central axis of the device and defines the maximum depth of the device insertion into the reference surface, e) Cooperative coupling elements located between them, one of them (170) at the end of the second arm (130), and the second (160), in a place on the inner face of the first arm (120 ) that allows coupling with the first coupling element (170).
El primer brazo recto (120) , rígido, esencialmente es una proyección de la sección inferior (110) , siendo paralelo al eje central de dicha sección inferior (110) pero desplazado de dicho eje central por una distancia tal que su cara interior (respecto de dicho eje central) coincida con el plano de una de las caras del distanciador, por ejemplo de tipo disco o de espaciador lateral, formando el cuerpo principal del dispositivo (100).The first straight straight arm (120) is essentially a projection of the lower section (110), being parallel to the central axis of said lower section (110) but displaced from said central axis by a distance such that its inner face (relative to of said central axis) coincides with the plane of one of the faces of the spacer, for example of disc type or of lateral spacer, forming the main body of the device (100).
El segundo brazo (130) que en la posición de "no uso" del dispositivo se proyecta perpendicularmente al cuerpo del mismo, en la dirección opuesta a la de desplazamiento del primer brazo, y que se une al cuerpo del dispositivo en una
zona (180) cuyo espesor es suficiente para brindarle flexibilidad ya que tiene funciones de una bisagra que permite la flexión del brazo (130) en la dirección mostrada por el arco de flecha "A" para acoplar el elemento de acoplamiento (170) a manera de gancho, en su extremo libre, con el elemento de acoplamiento correspondiente (160) situado como una proyección desde la cara interior del primer brazo (120) , a una distancia tal que se permita el aseguramiento entre ambos elementos de acoplamiento.The second arm (130) which in the "non-use" position of the device projects perpendicularly to the body of the device, in the opposite direction to that of movement of the first arm, and which joins the body of the device in a zone (180) whose thickness is sufficient to provide flexibility since it has functions of a hinge that allows the arm to flex (130) in the direction shown by the arrow arc "A" to couple the coupling element (170) in a manner hook, at its free end, with the corresponding coupling element (160) located as a projection from the inner face of the first arm (120), at a distance such that the securing between both coupling elements is allowed.
Una proyección (140) perpendicular a la sección inferior (310) del dispositivo (100) que inicia en la cara exterior del primer brazo, desplazándose en la dirección hacia fuera, determina la máxima profundidad de inserción de la sección inferior (110) del dispositivo (100) más apropiadamente, y se sitúa de manera que su cara inferior sea coplanar y "horizontal" con la superficie superior (190) de la zona de unión de los elementos del dispositivo, como lo muestra la linea B-B en la Figura 1, misma que se corresponderá en su posición de uso, con un punto distal del distanciador o espaciador lateral, y que determina a su vez la distancia entre el elemento estructural al que se destina con respecto de una superficie de referencia; la distancia entre esta cara inferior y el extremo biselado del elemento (110) es igual al grosor del panel de
poliestireno, junta constructiva o aislante térmico o acústico.A projection (140) perpendicular to the lower section (310) of the device (100) that starts on the outer face of the first arm, moving in the outward direction, determines the maximum insertion depth of the lower section (110) of the device (100) more appropriately, and is positioned so that its lower face is coplanar and "horizontal" with the upper surface (190) of the joining area of the elements of the device, as shown by the line BB in Figure 1, same that will correspond in its position of use, with a distal point of the spacer or lateral spacer, and that in turn determines the distance between the structural element to which it is intended with respect to a reference surface; the distance between this lower face and the beveled end of the element (110) is equal to the thickness of the panel polystyrene, building joint or thermal or acoustic insulation.
Podrá apreciarse de las Figuras 1 y 2, que el primer brazo tiene un espesor mayor que el segundo brazo aunque menor al de la sección inferior del dispositivo, a fin de garantizar su rigidez; el desplazamiento respecto al eje central del dispositivo, permitiendo que el eje del distanciador o espaciador lateral sea colineal con el del dispositivo, asegura que los esfuerzos transmitidos por el distanciador o espaciador lateral sean dirigidos directamente a la sección inferior, con la que se alinea el radio de transmisión de esfuerzos de dicho separador; el primer brazo presenta sendas curvas en sus dos extremos, el de unión con la sección inferior (110) y el extremo libre, de manera que cualquier esfuerzo sobre dicho brazo también sea derivado a la sección inferior (110) .It can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, that the first arm has a thickness greater than the second arm although less than that of the lower section of the device, in order to guarantee its rigidity; the displacement with respect to the central axis of the device, allowing the axis of the spacer or lateral spacer to be collinear with that of the device, ensures that the forces transmitted by the spacer or lateral spacer are directed directly to the lower section, with which the force transmission radius of said separator; The first arm has two curves at its two ends, that of union with the lower section (110) and the free end, so that any effort on said arm is also derived to the lower section (110).
El primer brazo (120) cuenta con medios (ranuras y rebordes) (150) que se ajustan al perfil del distanciador o espaciador lateral a que se desee acoplar el dispositivoThe first arm (120) has means (grooves and flanges) (150) that fit the profile of the spacer or side spacer to which the device is to be coupled.
(100) en su posición de uso, por ejemplo en el caso ilustrado en las Figuras 3 y 4, admitirá y retendrá la costilla (210) que se localiza a lo largo del perímetro interior del hueco (220) de un distanciador convencional de forma de disco (200) , el cual es destinado a retener en su
centro un elemento estructural alargado, tal como una varilla, como es conocido en el arte y se ilustra en las figuras 5 y 6.(100) in its position of use, for example in the case illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, will admit and retain the rib (210) that is located along the inside perimeter of the recess (220) of a conventional spacer disk (200), which is intended to retain in its center an elongated structural element, such as a rod, as is known in the art and illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
Adicionalmente, el primer brazo (120) presenta una proyección (195) sobre su cara interior, con un perfil apropiado para adaptarse al que producen en el distanciadorAdditionally, the first arm (120) has a projection (195) on its inner face, with an appropriate profile to adapt to that produced in the spacer
(200), la sección "inferior" (230) de la costilla (210) en combinación con el anillo exterior (240) de dicho disco (200) (de ahi el perfil sinuoso) . De esta manera, al insertar la costilla (210) en la ranura-reborde (150) y colocar en su sitio la proyección (195) respecto del elemento (230) y el disco perimetral (240), el dispositivo de la invención (100) ajusta perfectamente dentro del hueco (220) del disco (200) ; la proyección (250) quedará orientada coincidentemente con el eje central del dispositivo (100) , permitiendo entonces la transmisión de los esfuerzos provocados por los elementos de la estructura, hacia la sección inferior (110) del dispositivo (100) y finalmente, hacia la superficie de referencia, como se verá más adelante.(200), the "lower" section (230) of the rib (210) in combination with the outer ring (240) of said disc (200) (hence the sinuous profile). Thus, by inserting the rib (210) into the groove-flange (150) and placing the projection (195) in place with respect to the element (230) and the perimeter disk (240), the device of the invention (100 ) fits perfectly inside the hole (220) of the disc (200); the projection (250) will be oriented coincidentally with the central axis of the device (100), then allowing the transmission of the stresses caused by the elements of the structure, towards the lower section (110) of the device (100) and finally, towards the reference surface, as will be seen later.
Para mantener en su sitio al dispositivo (100) ya ubicado en su posición de uso, el segundo brazo (130) se dobla sobre si mismo (como se indica por el arco "A" en la FiguraTo keep in place the device (100) already located in its position of use, the second arm (130) bends over itself (as indicated by the arc "A" in the Figure
1) en la zona de bisagra (180), convencionalmente más
delgada que el resto del brazo (130) para lograr esa función, de manera que el elemento de acoplamiento (170) en su extremo libre, alcance, se acople y fije al correspondiente elemento de acoplamiento complementario (160) que se proyecta desde la cara interna del primer brazo (120) . Por efecto de la resistencia del propio material de fabricación del dispositivo, el segundo brazo1) in the hinge zone (180), conventionally more thin than the rest of the arm (130) to achieve that function, so that the coupling element (170) at its free end, reaches, is coupled and fixed to the corresponding complementary coupling element (160) that projects from the face internal of the first arm (120). Due to the resistance of the device's own manufacturing material, the second arm
(130) tenderá a recuperar su posición original, ejerciendo una fuerza en la dirección contraria al arco "A" de la Figura 1 y por efecto también del diseño de los elementos de acoplamiento (160), (170), dicha fuerza provocará el aseguramiento en su sitio de ambos brazos (120) y (130), sujetando firmemente al disco (200), formando el conjunto (300) mostrado en la Figura 4, donde se señala en tonos de gris al dispositivo de la invención (100).(130) will tend to recover its original position, exerting a force in the direction opposite to the arc "A" of Figure 1 and also due to the design of the coupling elements (160), (170), said force will cause the securing in place of both arms (120) and (130), firmly holding the disk (200), forming the assembly (300) shown in Figure 4, where the device of the invention (100) is indicated in shades of gray.
Cuando el conjunto (300) está en uso, cómo se muestra en las Figuras 5 y 6, un elemento estructural individual del armado de acero o refuerzo estructural de acero con el numeral (400) se inserta en el hueco central del disco (200), y entonces la sección inferior (110) del dispositivo de la invención (100) se puede emplear para establecer una distancia predefinida con respecto a la superficie interior del panel que se emplea como referencia, y para mantener en su lugar al panel suave (500) . En la práctica, este panel (500) es de un material "suave", como por ejemplo, espuma
de poliestireno, en la que el extremo biselado de la sección inferior (110) del dispositivo de la invención (100) puede "clavarse" con relativa facilidad, anclando al conjunto (300) y por ende, estabilizando el armado de acero o refuerzo estructural de acero (400) .When the assembly (300) is in use, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, an individual structural element of the steel reinforcement or structural reinforcement of steel with the numeral (400) is inserted into the central hollow of the disc (200) , and then the lower section (110) of the device of the invention (100) can be used to establish a predefined distance from the inner surface of the panel used as a reference, and to keep the soft panel in place (500 ). In practice, this panel (500) is of a "soft" material, such as foam of polystyrene, in which the bevelled end of the lower section (110) of the device of the invention (100) can be "nailed" with relative ease, anchoring the assembly (300) and hence stabilizing the steel reinforcement or structural reinforcement steel (400).
Al "clavar" a la pluralidad de dispositivos de la invención hasta que la cara "inferior" de la proyección (140) de cada uno de ellos alcance la superficie de referencia, se asegura que el armado de acero o refuerzo estructural de acero (400) en su conjunto se localice a la misma distancia predefinida desde dicha superficie de referencia, logrando un espesor constante de concreto.By "nailing" the plurality of devices of the invention until the "bottom" face of the projection (140) of each of them reaches the reference surface, it is ensured that the steel reinforcement or structural steel reinforcement (400 ) as a whole it is located at the same predefined distance from said reference surface, achieving a constant concrete thickness.
La Figura 7 muestra un arreglo en que el panel suave (500) funciona como junta constructiva entre un muro de concretoFigure 7 shows an arrangement in which the soft panel (500) functions as a construction joint between a concrete wall
(600) ya fraguado o endurecido y los elementos constructivos estructurales (400) que le darán forma al muro colindante antes de ser colado. El adaptador (100) coloca la junta constructiva (500) en su posición de funcionamiento completamente paralela y colindando (pegada o adherida) con dicho muro terminado (600), mantiene al disco (200) en la posición correcta sujetando y separando el acero de refuerzo (400) en la posición en la que se lograrán los recubrimientos de concreto proyectados, y manteniendo en su momento, la cimbra a la distancia en la
que se obtendrá el espesor del muro deseado; puede apreciarse en la figura que el espesor del muro de concreto de la nueva pared se determina por la posición de la cimbra (700) y ésta a su vez es definida por la medida del distanciador (200) .(600) already set or hardened and the structural construction elements (400) that will shape the adjoining wall before being cast. The adapter (100) places the constructive joint (500) in its fully parallel operating position and adjoining (stuck or adhered) with said finished wall (600), keeps the disc (200) in the correct position by holding and separating the steel from reinforcement (400) in the position in which the projected concrete coatings will be achieved, and keeping the formwork at a distance in the moment that the desired wall thickness will be obtained; it can be seen in the figure that the thickness of the concrete wall of the new wall is determined by the position of the formwork (700) and this in turn is defined by the measure of the spacer (200).
La Figura 8 muestra un arreglo en el caso en que el panel suave (500) funciona como aislante térmico o acústico forrando la parte externa de los muros de concreto, en este caso el dispositivo (100) igualmente coloca el panel (500) en su posición de funcionamiento completamente paralelo y colindando con la parte externa o perimetral del muro delimitado en su momento por la cara exterior de la cimbra, mantiene al disco (200) en la posición correcta sujetando y separando el acero de refuerzo (400) en la posición en la que se lograrán los recubrimientos de concreto proyectados, y manteniendo la cimbra interna (700) a la distancia en la que se obtendrá el espesor del muro deseado.Figure 8 shows an arrangement in the case where the soft panel (500) functions as a thermal or acoustic insulator lining the outer part of the concrete walls, in this case the device (100) also places the panel (500) in its fully parallel operating position and bordering the outer or perimeter part of the wall bounded at the time by the outer face of the formwork, keeps the disc (200) in the correct position by holding and separating the reinforcing steel (400) in the position in which the projected concrete coatings will be achieved, and keeping the internal formwork (700) at the distance in which the desired wall thickness will be obtained.
Finalmente, en la Figura 9 se ilustra una alternativa de uso del dispositivo de la invención (100), acoplado en este caso a un espaciador de tubos (800), y donde se aprecia que los medios de ajuste (160) pueden ser modificados sin apartarse del concepto original del dispositivo.
Si bien se ha hecho uso de un diseño particular de disco distanciador para ilustrar el concepto inventivo de la invención, será evidente para una persona con conocimientos en el arte, que podrán realizarse modificaciones a la configuración de dicho dispositivo para poder ajustarse a los perfiles de otros distanciadores comúnmente conocidos y disponibles en el comercio, especialmente en cuanto a la localización de las proyecciones y ranuras que recibirán a los elementos de contacto con el dispositivo distanciador de que se trate, y por ende, deberá entenderse que dichas modificaciones no llevarían al dispositivo obtenido con tales adecuaciones, más allá del alcance de la presente invención, el cual deberá considerarse a la luz de las reivindicaciones que siguen.
Finally, Figure 9 illustrates an alternative use of the device of the invention (100), coupled in this case to a tube spacer (800), and where it is appreciated that the adjustment means (160) can be modified without depart from the original concept of the device. While a particular spacer disc design has been used to illustrate the inventive concept of the invention, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the configuration of said device in order to conform to the profiles of other spacers commonly known and commercially available, especially as regards the location of the projections and grooves that will receive the contact elements with the distance device in question, and therefore, it should be understood that such modifications would not lead to the device obtained with such adaptations, beyond the scope of the present invention, which should be considered in the light of the following claims.
