Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drilling jig device for assembling a timber pole foundation that may support a building or other above ground structure.
  • a foundation is an element of construction that connects a building to the ground. It can transfer loads from the building to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep or a combination of both depending on the ground conditions below the building .

  • Slab foundations can be reinforced mat slabs, which range from 25 cm to several meters thick, depending on the size of the building, or post-tensioned slabs, which are typically at least 20 cm for houses, and thicker for heavier structures.
  • a minimum ground pressure condition is needed to ensure the foundation and structure are sufficiently supported by the ground .
  • the pit typically needs to provide 200kPa ground conditions.
  • a gravel raft may be created in the pit and may be composed of compacted gravel with layers of geocloth between. Concrete may then be poured over to create a concrete slab on top of the gravel raft. This may be approximately 150-400mm thick as an example.

  • the substructure 50 presents at least one drill guide preferably for each of the holes 15 and 16 of the upper level pole 4A and lower level pole 3A respectively.
  • An upper level pole drill guide 56 and a lower level pole drill guide 57 are shown in Figure 15.
  • drill guides for each of the holes are provided to be presented on each side of a respective pole.
  • a drill guide 57 and a drill guide 57A for guiding a drill into the lower level pole 3A and there are two upper level pole drill guides 56 and 56A provided. This allows for an operator of a drill (such as a hand drill carrying a drill bit) to create the hole 16 and the hole 15 into the respective poles not just from one side of the pole but from both sides of the pole.
  • the pin may extend a substantial way through and if not out from and project out from each side of the pole having two drill guides one on each side of the pole allows for a shorter drill bit to be used but merely needs to be able to reach the centreline of the pole and/or the main hole 11/12 of a respective pole.
  • the upper level pole drill guides 56 and 56A and lower level pole drill guide 57 and 57A (not shown) have a length and diameter tolerance to allow the drill bit to accurately locate itself collinear to the holes in the dowel and not to skew or whilst drilling.
  • a level may be utilised for ensuring a desired rotational orientation of the substructure relative to the lower level pole 3A in an axis parallel to the pole and an axis perpendicular to the pole a desirable level is achieved. This is important for the purposes of ensuring that the drill guides are appropriately aligned to receive a drill to create the holes as well as for the purposes of establishi ng the primary holes 11 and 12 to receive the dowel.
  • the framework of the substructure is preferably adapted and configured to snugly fit about both the lower pole and the upper pole at the intersection. This helps to confine the lower and upper poles relative to each other during the process of drilling and fastening at the intersection 5.
  • the substructure 50 is provisioned with mounts and/or places for attachment of at least one attachment.
  • the at least one attachment is preferably temporarily attached to the substructure. This allows for the attachment to be removed and where two attachments are provided it allows for the two attachments to be interchanged.

  • the guide 61 preferably holds a guide traveller 64 that by way of a turn handle 65 is controlled for movement along the guide. An operator can turn the handle to drive the borer down and pull the borer up.
  • a hydraulic motor is advantageous in environs where an electrical motor is not desirable. For example if it rains an electric motor may not be able to be used. In addition an electric motor is relatively heavy compared to a hydraulic motor. Using a hydraulic motor allows for the boring attachment to be of a size and weight to be able to be placed upon and taken off the substructure 50 by two if not one persons.
  • connection between the substructure and the attachment may be established using pins 66 that temporarily secure the attachment to the substructure.
  • the boring attachment when secured to the substructure presents the borer 62 in a substantially vertical orientation. It is preferably presented to first penetrate into the upper pole 4A and travel therethrough in a radial direction to that pole. It can then be driven down into the lower pole 3A to a sufficient depth so that the dowel is at least beyond the point at where the pin receiving hole is or will be established through the lower pole 3A.
  • the dowel is predrilled to receive the pins and therefore the depth of the hole into the lower pole made by the borer 62 is such as to substantially align the pin hole 18 of the dowel with the pin hole through the lower pole when the dowel sits on the bottom of the hole 12 in the lower pole. Once the holes 11 and 12 have been created by the borer the dowel can be inserted into the holes.
  • the holes to receive the pins 13 and 14 can be drilled by for an example an electric hand drill carrying a drill bit that is guided by the drill guides to reach the dowel holes.
  • the dowel holes may already have their matching pin holes pre- drilled or alternatively the drill bit may simultaneously create such holes through the dowel for the pin to then be received therein.
  • the boring attachment Prior to the dowel being inserted into the dowel holes of the upper and lower poles the boring attachment can be removed so as to allow for free access to the holes to drop the dowel into.
  • an assembly attachment 70 may be secured to the substructure 50.
  • the assembly attachment 70 is shown cooperating with a jack stud 9.
  • the assembly attachment functions to compress the first layer pole and the second layer pole before the dowel is secured.
  • a press 71 may be provided to act on the jack stud 9 and compress the jack stud to thereby compress the upper and lower poles 4A and 3A.
  • the press may include a threaded rod 73 received by a threaded aperture 74 of the assembly attachment.
  • a spanner or torque wrench for example can operate on the head 75 of the threaded rod 73 and rotate it to then cause the press 71 to press onto the jack stud 9.
  • the compression allows for a snug abutment between poles (and the jack stud when provided) .
  • the press can act directly onto the upper pole 4A prior to one or both of the pins 13 and 14 being driven into and preferably through the dowel to thereby secure the dowel as pa rt of the foundation structure.
  • the assembly attachment may be reconfigured to drop the press down where there is no jack stud provided.
  • the assembly attachment preferably includes at least one drill guide 78 to receive a drill bit for guided movement into the jack stud to create the pole 24 to receive the pin 23.
  • the assembly attachment can likewise be secured using the pins 66 or other fasteners to become secured to the substructure in a manner that holds the drill guide 78 and the press in the appropriate condition to achieve the herein described results.
  • the foundation is capable of being disassembled or modified in a nondestructive manner.
  • the pins are able to knocked out and the jack stud if present lifted off, the upper layer removed, dowel removed and subsequently the bottom layer removed. All parts may then be reused and reassembled.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un gabarit pour la construction et l'assemblage d'une fondation pour supporter une structure au-dessus. La fondation comprend une première couche de poteaux parallèles et espacés les uns des autres, et une deuxième couche de poteaux en bois parallèles et espacés les uns des autres, à un certain angle par rapport à la première couche. La première couche est au-dessus de la deuxième couche et est fixée à celle-ci. Par rapport aux fondations de l'état de la technique, la fondation est polyvalente et légère, et le gabarit permet une installation précise, facile et rapide.
