Definitions

• This invention pertains to a reversible, thermo-acoustic panel intended for variable- geometry formwork.
• a formwork is a . structure used in the building and construction trade to build the reinforced concrete works. It provides a casing into which the additional concrete in the liquid state is cast, after the reinforcement irons have been properly positioned, where the concrete stays until the ' completio of the setting process and after the cast has, once the hardening phase has started, achieved such mechanical strength as to guarantee the absorption of the stress which the structure has to withstand soon after the formwork itself has been taken apart.
• Formworks can be made of several materials; in particular, formworks are currently available, which are made up of polystyrene foam panels made by means of the technique generally referred to as Insulated Concrete Form (ICF), as well as of their respective spacing connectors, which are disposable items needed for the assembling and internal blocking of the various aforesaid panels making up the shuttering mould of a reinforced concrete wall.
• ICF Insulated Concrete Form
• the existing polystyrene panels feature, along their upper and lower edges, a plurality of engaging teeth and/or corresponding recesses suited to allow several such panels to be connected by stacking.
• the arrangement of such known teeth and recesses makes, however, it possible to connect such panels by stacking in mutually co-planar or orthogonal positions, whereas as regards their mutual connection at different angles, special connectors shall be used, which require some time in order to be installed.
• ICF Insulated Concrete Form
• One further aim of this invention is to provide a reversible panel for thermo-acoustic, "disposable" variable-geometry formwork, which will be able to create several formworks joined to one another through variable sections, in order to contribute either structurally joint or separated from one another according to calculation needs.
• One further aim of this invention is to provide a reversible panel for thermo-acoustic, "disposable" variable-geometry formwork, equipped with lock-in profiles that will make it possible to insert any one structural element, that is to say, oblong profiles made of steel alloy, aluminum and structural fibre-composite plastics produced especially for structural needs, with no shape constraint at all, including reticular brackets to be fitted as a constraint . to the profiles themselves, both at the bottom and the top.
• one further aim of this invention is to provide a reversible, thermo-acoustic panel for thermo-acoustic, "disposable" variable-geometry formwork, which will make it possible to facilitate the transpiration process inside the formwork itself.
• one aim of this invention is to provide a - reversible, thermo-acoustic panel for thermo-acoustic, "disposable" variable-geometry formwork, which will make it possible to obtain better sound-proofing of the formwork itself during the entire service life thereof.
• FIGURE 2 shows plan views of the reversible thermo-acoustic panels shown in FIGURE 1;
• FIGURE 3 shows a front view of a reversible, thermo-acoustic panel shown in FIGURE 1;
• FIGURE 5 shows an enlarged view relative to the detail of ' box 'A' of the reversible, thermo- acoustic panel shown in FIGURE 1;
• FIGURE 6 shows a plan view of another preferred embodiment of the reversible, thermo- acoustic panel in accordance with the present invention.
• FIGURES 13 and 14 show perspective views of an application of the inventive reversible, thermo- acoustic panel ⁇ used for supporting structural, ornamental capitals free from thermal bridges, integrating connectors, oblong rod elements and structural brackets with an additional reinforced concrete cast;
• FIGURES 15 to 19 show perspective views of other preferred embodiments of the reversible thermo-acoustic panels referred to in the present invention, in their operating configurations.
• variable-geometry formwork is made up of a vertical body 3 featuring one upper surface 5 and one lower surface 7, both of them delimiting such body 3, said upper surface 5 being equipped with a plurality of engaging teeth 9 and/or engaging recesses 10, and said lower surface 7 . being equipped with a plurality of such engaging teeth and/or such engaging recesses 10 corresponding with such engaging teeth 9 and/or engaging recesses 10 of upper surface 5.
• the formwork wall thickness can be increased and, also, an increase can be achieved in the noise breaking along the junction lines among such reversible thermo-acoustic panels 1.
• the vertical body 3 may be equipped with a plurality of second lock-in profiles 17, the latter too being preferably arranged in a vertical direction, suited to make it possible to insert elements of the IPE or "T" types 19.
• such elements 19 may be made of any one material suitable for the purpose, such as, for instance, steel, another metal or plastic materials.
• such elements 19 may be made of a composite material such as, for instance, carbon fibre.
• the vertical body 3 (obviously featuring varying shapes, thicknesses and forms to adapt to the various building and construction requirements known in the building trade) shall preferably be made of polystyrene foam suitable for use according to the Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) method: obviously, it can be anticipated that the vertical body 3 will be made of any other material (which may be a plastic one) suitable for the purpose, without therefore departing from” the scope of protection of this invention.
• ICF Insulated Concrete Form
• the body 3 of the reversible, thermo-acoustic panel 1 may obviously feature any one shape relative to its plan other than the essentially rectangular one shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
• the reversible, thermo-acoustic panel 1 referred to in the present invention may be adapted to an angular element, such that it will connect with other thermo-acoustic panels 1 by means of the respective lock-in profiles and also determine the final closing of a reversible, thermo-acoustic "disposable" variable-geometry formwork.
• thermo- acoustic panels 1 make it possible to make, in a simple, cost-effective, quick and convenient manner, any one formwork 30 featuring the desired dimensions and shapes (even complex ones) .
• the thickness of the walls of reversible, thermo-acoustic "disposable" variable- geometry formwork 30 can be increased and, also, an increase can be achieved in the noise breaking along the junction lines among such panels 1.
• the vertical body 3 may be equipped with a plurality of surface score lines arranged by multiple pitches, in order to be able to be partitioned to measure by mere manual effort.
• FIGURES 9 to 12 and 15 to 19 show perspective views of other preferred embodiments of panels referring to this invention, in their operating ' configurations.
• These Figures show two pairs of panels 1, placed side by side and separated by a plurality of brackets 80 and a plurality of spacers 82, both such brackets 80 and connectors 82 being supported by a plurality of connectors 81 and also being suited to support respective reinforcement irons 84.
• FIGURE 16 shows, moreover, a configuration featuring new conical supports 86 for orientation and diagonal arrangement of irons 84.
• FIGURES 13 and .14 show perspective views of an application relative to the inventive reversible, thermo-acoustic panel 1 for the ornamental, monolith capitals 100, the latter being preferably made of polystyrene foam, too.
