Description

Corners of building walls

The subject-matter of the invention is the corner of building walls to be used in constructing walls made of timber or timber - like modules consisting of longitudinal mantels fixed to the ribs of the supporting structure. According to the Polish patent application No 348211, the building module is known to be used in constructing walls of buildings and consisting of the supporting structure forming the carrying ribs that are placed at the settled distance one from each other (the said distance is determined by rigidity of the construction). The flat or arched profiled, longitudinal mantle made of timber or timber-like materials is fixed to the carrying ribs in the inside of the building. The mantles are provided with recesses at their ends, on the top and at the bottom.

Construction of wall corners is formed from modules placed in the walls alternately and cross-like, which are fastened one with another by means of the above mantels recesses. The beveled formation of corners is also known in such constructions. In the case of constructing e.g. rectangular corners, ends of modules are cut diagonally at an angle of 45° and joined permanently after introduction of seal compounds.

In order to maintain a proper tightness and aesthetics of the corner, such constructional solutions require making modules of exact dimensions and their precise laying on the same level in both walls which are joined together. In accordance with the invention, the construction of corners to be used in building walls has been designed, which are associated with the walls which at the side of their lateral mantels are provided with surfaces situated in planes forming dihedral angle with a cavity where the filling bead is mounted at the inside of the corner. The said filling bead is fixed in a place with supporting joints combining two adjacent walls together.

Section of the filling bead has preferably a contour of polygon with a rounded front edge which is moved outside the cavity. The supporting joint is provided with arms attached with threaded fasteners to the carrying ribs of wall modules. From the outside, the corner is closed with preferably flat walls, to which additional attachments formed of short walls imitating cross-like joint are mounted on the extension of walls forming the corner.

Construction of the corner of the building wall in accordance with the invention ensures easy assembly of the corner with any optional arrangement of the walls to be joined together (one in relation to the other), as precise as possible seal of the corner, giving high aesthetic values to the entire construction irrespective of precision of the modules arrangement in the walls to be joined together and with maintaining suitable rigidity and stability of building construction what refers both to flat modules and modules containing profiled mantles which on their outside have a form of worked tree trunk with a plain or carved surface.

The subject-matter of the invention is reflected in the examples of making, where Fig. l presents not constructed corner of the building wall with a fragment of walls in horizontal section, Fig.2 - the corner from the Fig.1 with mounted details of the corner from the first example of making, Fig.3 - the corner from the second example of making in horizontal section, Fig.4 - the corner from the third example of making in horizontal section, Fig.5 - the corner from the fourth example of making in horizontal section, Fig.6 - the corner from the Fig.5 with wall attachments in horizontal section, Fig.7 - the corner from the fifth example of making in horizontal section, Fig.8 - the corner of walls made of modules with profiled arched mantles in a perspective view, and Fig.9 - the corner of walls made of flat modules in a perspective view.

The corner of building walls is designed to be used particularly in buildings being constructed of timber or timber-like modules containing longitudinal mantles 4 with a flat or profiled arched contour, which are joined together by means of the carrying ribs 5 that are placed at the settled distance one from each other (the said distance is determined by rigidity of the construction) and empty spaces between the mantles are filled with heat-insulating compound 6. The corner is provided with the filling bead 1, the supporting joints 2 with arms combining the adjacent walls by means of the threaded fasteners as well as preferably flat small walls 7 forming the external construction of the corner, which are reinforced with additional beads 8. The filling bead with a section, which preferably resembles polygon, is mounted in the cavity 3. The width of this cavity entry has several centimeters. The cavity is formed between lateral surfaces 9 of modules mantles creating the walls, which are situated in a proper way and are equally cut at right angle so that these surfaces along the entire height are situated in planes forming dihedral angle α. Depending on how the corner walls are situated one against the other, the dihedral angle forms acute, right or obtuse angle. In the case the walls are situated in a traditional way i.e. at right angle, the dihedral angle forms right angle, too. On the other hand, when walls form obtuse angle, then the dihedral angle forms acute angle and , on the opposite, when the walls form acute angle, than the dihedral angle forms obtuse angle. Respectively to the size of α angle, a suitable profile of bead is being selected. When there is a right angle, section of the bead has a rectangular or right-angled triangular contour. The filling bead made of timber or timber-like material and having a length equal to the height of the wall, according to the first example of making as presented in the Fig.2 has a section of the right-angled triangular contour with the rounded front edge which is lead outside the cavity 3 and outside the contours of wall mantels 4.

The supporting joint 2 is made of metal flat bar and has bent arms situated parallel to the carrying ribs 5 of the wall, with which it is joined together through the holes made in the arms by means of the threaded fastener in a form of bolts 10 and nuts 11 or screws. The middle part of the supporting joint is situated parallel to the back side of the bead and presses directly the said bead or indirectly through the bolt 12 driven into the threaded hole. After their pressing down, the bead sides adhere to the lateral surfaces 9 of mantles 4 of modules forming the walls and partially to the lateral surfaces of the carrying ribs 5. The joints are placed along the entire height at the settled distance one from each other (the said distance being determined by rigidity of construction). On one hand, the joints determine the proper position of corner walls one against each other by means of the threaded fastener; on the other hand - they make it possible to immobilize the filling bead, as precise as possible filling of the cavity 3 and making the wall corner construction more rigid through its pressing down. From the outside, the corner is closed with preferably flat, solid walls 7 made of timber-like panels or boards which are provided with beads 8 and 8a fixed with e.g. screws (the walls are at the same time somewhat moved outside the external outlines of the walls forming the corner).

The corner presented in the second example of making, in the Fig.3 is provided with the filling bead 1 having a square section, with the rounded front edged moved outside the cavity 3. On a part or along the entire height, along its back edge, the bead has rectangular recesses in which angular corners of the supporting joints 2 are mounted. At the ends of the arms, the holes are made, through which the joints are combined with the carrying ribs 5 by means of the screws 13 passing through the distance beads 14. The ribs having a form of T letter, possess segments 5a which are moved outside and which partially overlap the bead 1 adhering to the lateral surfaces 9 of the mantles of the wall modules across its entire width. From the outside, the corner is closed with small walls 7 (similarly to the foregoing example of making). Small walls in the point of their joining are stiffened with the bead 8 and fixed to the supporting construction with the beads 8 through the distance beads 14.

The corner presented in the fourth example of making, in the Fig.5 is provided with the bead 1 to fill the cavity and the supporting joints 2 having a shape as presented in both foregoing examples of making but these joints are combined with the ribs 5 by means of the screws 1 9 passing through the distance beads 18, which have angular shape and which partially overlap the mantles 4 of the modules and which adhere to the sides of the bead 1. Similarly to the previous examples of making, external sides of the corners are furnished with the walls 7. The walls are stiffened with the beads 8a and 8b. The beads 8b have angular shape, they overlap the mantle 4 and adhere to the carrying ribs. Passage holes are made in the walls, which are used for separable mounting of attachments 20 as short walls built created from short, solid balks, as much as possible imitating cross-like joint of modules in wall corners and used in order to simplify and stiffen the entire construction. The attachments are provided with plates 21 and the bolts 22 positioned in the holes of the walls and fastened with the nuts 23. Attachments should be fastened to the corner walls before the corner is closed (built-in).

The corner presented in the fifths example of making, in the Fig.7 is provided with the filling bead, which is broadened and which adheres to the lateral surfaces 9 of the modules mantles. The broadened part of the bead adheres to the lateral surface of the carrying ribs of one wall. The supporting joints in a form of angle sections are combined with the ribs by means of the screws 24 , on one side passing through the bead 1 , and on the other side - through the distance bead 25 adhering to it. The attachments 20 are fastened to the walls 7 which are stiffened with the beads 8 and 8c. Such attachments can be fastened to all presented examples of making of wall corners.

The corners of walls of higher thickness are provided with elongated mantles 4 at the side of the walls 7 , which reduce furnishing of these corners with such walls and increase stiffness of the construction.

With angular arrangement of three walls, the combined corner can have two cavities with the filling beads and the supporting joints having a construction as described in the invention.

Thanks to filling empty spaces in the corner with heat- insulating compound, an additional seal and, simultaneously, stiffening of the construction can be achieved.
