Definitions

• the present invention relates to an improvement in or relating to a floating body or vessel for constructing a structural body on a boat hull having joints between the hull and the structural body, but also at selected locations in the structural body.
• the joint between the hull and the structural body has a profile, which has a contact surface fixed to the hull and a supporting surface fixed to the structural body. Between the contact surface and the supporting surface the profile, extending in a vertical direction, has a supporting profile part, which supports the structural body with a stiff supporting function in the vertical direction, but is sufficiently resilient to absorb dynamic loads transverse to the vertical direction.
• a housing on a boat hull in the vertical direction has been built on a surface, which is soft and is not then capable of bearing against selected locations in the vertical direction and absorbing vertical loads under the structural body.
• the entire structural body must be intrinsically one rigid individual unit. This turns out to be an expensive structure because major reinforcements must be provided in the structural body.
• document GB 2272463 A another structure is shown where sheet ste ⁇ l profiles for the creation of fastenings for different walls and roof elements are arranged to assemble them to build a structural body. These sheet steel profiles are not sufficient resilient to absorb loads and cannot therefore absorb dynamic loads.
• An object of this invention is to eliminate or alleviate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned structures by ensuring that the joint between the hull and the structural body has a profile with a contact surface against the hull and a supporting surface against the structural body. Between the contact surface and the supporting surface the profile has a vertically extending supporting profile part, which supports the structural body with a rigid supporting function, but is sufficiently resilient to absorb dynamic loads directed mainly transversely to the vertical direction.
• the invention a simple, cheap solution has now been provided for supporting the structural element in the vertical direction, but it is resilient laterally and transversely to the direction in that the joint between the hull and the structural body encloses a profile, which has a contact surface and it is fixed against the hull, and in that a supporting surface is fixed against the structural body.
• the profile between the contact surface and the supporting surface has one or more profile parts, which extend in a vertical direction or are arranged against the hull, and which support part of the structural body with a supporting function in the vertical direction.
• the profile part is then sufficiently resilient to absorb dynamic loads directed transversely to the direction, which means that the supporting function abuts against selected points under the structural body, which means that this body does not need to be constructed as a separate rigid self-supporting unit.
• the profile consists of bits of, or elongated metal profiles bend from thin plate.
• the metal profile extends in the horizontal plane and creates distance between the structural body and the hull, having walls, which enclose the inner spaces.
• the profile extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall.
• the profile rests on the wall of the hull at its uppermost part on its horizontal surface.
• the profile is partly designed as a horizontal U-profile, but it may also be designed as a horizontal Z-, T- or I-profile.
• the profile then has the profile part in the vertical part of its letters.
• the upper and lower parts then constitute the contact surface and supporting surface respectively.
• the metal profile consists partly of the horizontal "U".
• the supporting surface then has a permanently secured fastening part extending in the vertical direction, furthest in against the inner space, for fastening to the inside of an outer wall provided close to the structural elements for position determination and fixing transversely to the vertical direction of the structural element.
• the open part is filled with insulating material, which creates a broken cold bridge.
• the open "U” is therefore also accessible for fastening an anchoring part, e.g. a bolt for fixing the supporting surface in the uppermost part of the hull wall.
• the fastening part together with the supporting surface, then simultaneously provides contact, support and guidance against the inside of the bottommost end of the outer wall when the fastening part is anchored, e.g. by means of screws, bolts and/or glue, the open part remaining fully open despite load from the structural body, which means that the profile part, extending in the vertical direction, supports without deformation of the supporting surface, the profile part being effectively resilient transverse to the vertical direction.
• the profile On the outside of the structural body the profile is covered with a water runoff plate located around the hull in the longitudinal direction, which plate, in its upper part, is sealed in a watertight manner against the outside of the structural body just above the profile.
• the lower part of the water runoff plate then points away from the hull and downwards towards a surrounding water surface in which the hull floats.
• the lower part is watertight and movably/resiliently connected to a sealing plate located there, which plate is connected to the hull a short distance under the profile underneath the water runoff plate, which there constitutes a resilient support for the water runoff plate.
• the sealing plate and the water runoff plate extend mainly around the entire hull and absorb the movements transversely to the vertical direction in the resilient profile part without water leaking in towards the profile.
• the assembled structural elements constituting self-supporting elements of foamed, stiff, highly insulating plastic material, converge at selected points in a joint to form corners which extend vertically in the vertical direction along the entire vertical edge area of the structural element, where a tolerance space is then formed between two coinciding edge areas, which provide space for a post that vertically supports structural elements and the structural body, has a stiffening effect, is permanently arranged in the hull and extends to an upper part of the structural body, where it is securely fitted for positionally orientating the structural elements transverse to the direction.
• a soft insulation which is able to expand to absorb the movements from the resilient movements of the profile part when the assembled structural elements behind the cover plate and the profile parts spring back.
• the corners the absorb the movements from them in a tolerance space provided there, which space extends as an elongated duct in the vertical direction, enclosed by a cover plate existing there and arranged on the outside of the assembled structural elements, the cover plate also absorbing the movements.
• the most significant advantages of the invention are therefore that a simple, easy to handle, low cost profile has been provided, which effectively supports the structural body without springing back vertically.
• the profile is easy to anchor and provides a broken cold bridge.
• the resilient movements backwards can be absorbed in the tolerance area in the corners to reduce the risk of movement cracks in the structural body.
• Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through part of the structural body and the hull of the boat
• Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through a corner in the structural body.
• FIG. 1 part of a vessel 1 is shown with a structural body 3 mounted on a boat hull 2, with an intermediate joint 4 at a point in the structural body 3, which is constructed of assembled structural elements 5.
• the joint 4 between the hull 2 and the structural body 3 has a profile 8 in the form of an elongated metal profile 1 1 , with a contact surface 6 fixed to the hull 2, and a supporting surface 7 fixed to the structural body 3.
• the profile 8 has a profile part 10 extending between the contact surface 6 and the supporting surface 7 in a vertical direction 9, which profile part supports structural body 3 in said direction 9 and is sufficiently resilient to absorb dynamic loads directed transverse to the direction 9.
• the hull 2 encloses an inner space 12 with a wall 13, whose uppermost part 19 creates a distance 30 against the structural body 3 on its horizontal surface 29 via metal profile 1 1.
• the metal profile 1 1 consists partly of a horizontal "U", whose supporting surface 7 has a fastening part 16 extending in towards the inner space 12 in the direction 9, which fastening part is designed to be secured to at least one inside 17 of the bottommost end 22 of an outer wall 18 existing there close to the structural elements 5.
• Open part 20 of the "U” provides accessibility for an anchoring part 21 for fixing the supporting surface 7 in the uppermost part 19.
• the metal profile 1 1 extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall 13 in the horizontal plane.
• the profile 8 on the outside 25 of the structural body 2 is covered with a water runoff plate 23, which in its upper part 24 is connected to the outside 25 of the structural body 3.
• the lower part 26 of the water runoff plate 23 is in turn connected to a sealing plate 28 existing there, which is connected to the hull 2.
• the assembled structural elements 5 converge in a joint 4 forming corners 31 , which absorb the movements in a tolerance space 14 existing there, forming a duct 15, which also provides space for a vertically supporting post 28, which is enclosed by a cover plate 27.
