Definitions

  • the invention relates to walls, wherein the bricks are joined together without adhesive bonding, but by means of coupling between inserts in the bricks.
  • Walls consist of a number of horizontal rows of bricks placed on top of one another. These bricks may be clay bricks or concrete bricks or the like. To give the wall a good appearance, the rows of bricks must be properly horizontal. This is also desired for the rows of bricks that are located above doors or windows.
  • the traditional way of joining bricks in walls is the use of mortar.
  • a layer of mortar of a particular thickness and by positioning the bricks at a suitable height in the mortar, the bricklayer can provide a wall in which the bricks are positioned properly horizontally in rows. This requires the bricklayer to have the necessary expertise.
  • other glued joints are also known for gluing bricks in walls.
  • WO2013/144913A1 relates to such a system, in which a wall is built with quick building blocks.
  • the coupling in the wall is provided by plastic inserts in the quick building blocks, wherein the plastic inserts of blocks placed one on top of another are coupled mechanically.
  • One aim of the invention is to provide improvements for building systems.
  • a more specific aim of the invention is to provide improvements to building systems wherein the bricks in the wall are joined together mechanically in the wall.
  • One aim of the invention is to make walls and building systems available wherein better horizontality of the rows of bricks can be achieved; and/or wherein this horizontality can be obtained more easily.
  • a further aim is to build an aesthetically attractive wall.
  • the invention describes a number of independent aspects which all have this aim.
  • the first aspect of the invention is a wall, wherein the wall comprises rows of bricks, wherein the bricks comprise one or more inserts, wherein inserts of bricks of adjacent rows are coupled to each other mechanically so that a coupling is obtained between the bricks that comprise these inserts, wherein a rod passes in the vertical direction through openings in the bricks of at least three rows of bricks, and preferably of at least four rows of bricks and more preferably of at least five rows of bricks. The top of the rod rests on a brick of the wall.
  • the rod comprises a screw thread, wherein this screw thread is screwed into a component of the insert at least three - and preferably at least four and more preferably at least five - rows deep relative to the brick on which the top of the rod rests, wherein compression is produced between the brick on which the rod rests and the brick in which the insert, into which the screw thread is screwed, is located.
  • the bricks are clay bricks.
  • the component of the insert into which the screw thread of the rod is screwed has a tapering entrance.
  • This tapering entrance is located on the upper side of the component of the insert into which the screw thread of the rod is screwed.
  • the rod comprises a screw thread on its lower part for screwing the rod into the component of the insert.
  • the rod runs between its top and the brick that comprises the insert into which the screw thread is screwed, through the components - provided for screwing-in the screw thread - of the inserts of one or more bricks, without the rod being screwed into these components.
  • This has as an additional advantage that on tightening the screw the rows of bricks remain properly vertical, and effective clamping of these rows of bricks is obtained.
  • the rod is, by means of the screw thread in the components - provided for screwing-in the screw thread - of at least two inserts, screwed into bricks at different height in the wall.
  • a ring is provided between the top of the rod and the brick on which the rod rests; more preferably this is a flat ring.
  • said rods are screwed in at various positions over the length of the wall. This makes it possible to tighten the rows of bricks at different positions over the length of the wall, so that the rows run properly horizontally. It is then possible to vary, and locally adjust, the tightening force if necessary at different positions over the length of the wall, so that the rows of bricks run properly horizontally.
  • such a rod is screwed in, so that the compressed rows of bricks run horizontally over the length of the wall.
  • the component of the insert into which the rod is screwed is located on the underside of the brick in which the insert is located. More preferably this component is located in a recess on the underside of the brick; said recess is not visible from the front of the brick and is not visible from the front of the wall.
  • the second aspect of the invention is a wall.
  • This wall is optionally a wall such as in any embodiment of the first aspect of the invention.
  • the wall comprises rows of bricks, wherein the bricks comprise one or more inserts, wherein inserts of bricks of adjacent rows are coupled to each other mechanically so that a coupling is obtained between the bricks that comprise these inserts, wherein the wall viewed vertically over at least one part of its length is located under a supporting surface, wherein a clamping means is provided under the supporting surface between the supporting surface and the top row of bricks, so that a vertical compressive force is produced from the supporting surface on the row of bricks under this supporting surface.
  • the clamping means comprises a first support for resting against the supporting surface.
  • the clamping means comprises a second support for resting against the top row of bricks, wherein the first support or the second support is movable over a screw thread of the clamping means to produce the vertical compressive force.
  • Such embodiments offer especially elegant clamping means for producing the vertical compressive force.
  • the first support is placed against the supporting surface; and the second support is movable over a screw thread of the clamping means to produce the vertical compressive force.
  • the screw thread is located on a screw, one end of which is located in an opening on the upper side of the bricks of the top row.
  • the third aspect of the invention is a wall, wherein the wall comprises rows of bricks, wherein the bricks comprise one or more inserts, wherein inserts of bricks of adjacent rows are coupled to each other mechanically, so that a coupling is obtained between the bricks that comprise these inserts.
  • the bricks comprise on their underside a recess that is not visible on the outside of the wall.
  • the wall is characterized in that, for at least one brick in the wall, and preferably for several bricks in the wall, a thickness plate is placed in the recess so that the position of this brick is raised.
  • An advantage of this aspect of the invention is that the use of the thickness plate allows the height position of bricks in the wall to be adjusted. This is especially important when building walls with bricks that have a thickness difference, for example when building with hand-made bricks. Hand-made bricks have a not-insignificant variation in thickness. This variation can easily be concealed when building with mortar by laying a thicker layer of mortar, or adjusting the height of the brick in the mortar, as is done by bricklayers. This is not, however, possible with mechanical coupling of bricks by means of inserts in the bricks. This is solved by using thickness plates at thinner bricks. It is important that the thickness plates are not visible in the wall, so that the thickness plates must be placed in recesses that are not visible from the outside of the wall.
  • This aspect of the invention also makes it possible to build walls with minimal joint height. Therefore it is not necessary to make the coupling with mortar. Accordingly, work, time and costs are saved during building. In addition, skilled people who have mastered pointing are more and more difficult to find, and there may be long waiting times for these skilled people.
  • the thickness plates are not visible on the outside of the wall.
  • the bricks are clay bricks.
  • the bricks are hand-made bricks, more preferably hand-made clay bricks.
  • the inserts are plastic inserts.
  • the thickness plate consists of plastic. More preferably the thickness plate is produced by means of injection molding.
  • the inserts comprise first coupling parts and second coupling parts, for the mechanical coupling of the second coupling parts of a first brick to the first coupling parts of a second brick.
  • the inserts may consist of one component, which comprise both one or more first coupling parts and one or more second coupling parts. It is also possible that the first coupling parts and the second coupling parts are configured as separate inserts.
  • the inserts have a base and one or more vertical components that pass vertically through the brick through openings.
  • the base comprises first coupling parts and the top of the vertical components comprises second coupling parts, for the mechanical coupling of the second coupling parts of a first said insert to the first coupling parts of a second said insert.
  • the base is located in the recess on the underside of the brick.
  • the thickness plate is located in the brick between the base of the insert in this brick and the underside of this brick. More preferably the thickness plate is located on and in contact with the base of the insert and in contact with this brick.
  • the insert comprises one or more vertical components which run vertically through the brick through openings
  • the one or more vertical components are elastically compressible in the vertical direction.
  • Such embodiments make it possible, by means of the weight of the wall, to press the bricks in the wall well against one another, so that a minimal joint height is obtained between the rows of bricks.
  • a joint with minimal height does not require pointing; this saves time, work and costs.
  • skilled people who have mastered pointing are becoming scarce and are difficult to find.
  • the thickness plate comprises a recess on one or on both sides, wherein the recess(es) in the thickness plate are each positioned around a vertical component of the insert.
  • the inserts are not visible on the outside of the wall.
  • the wall comprises several such thickness plates, placed in different bricks, wherein the thickness plates comprise thickness plates of different thickness.
  • the thickness plates comprise thickness plates of different thickness.
  • Such embodiments make it possible to choose the thickness of the thickness plate used according to the dimensions of the bricks, and make it possible to use bricks for which there is a wide range of variation in thickness. It is also possible to lay two or more thickness plates on one another as an alternative to the use of thickness plates of different thickness.
  • the fourth aspect of the invention is a method for building a wall, wherein the wall is a wall such as in any embodiment of the third aspect of the invention, wherein during the building of the wall at thinner bricks a thickness plate is placed in order to obtain a better horizontal alignment in rows of the bricks in the wall.
  • the fifth aspect of the invention is a method, optionally such as in any embodiment of the fourth aspect of the invention, for building a wall, wherein the wall is optionally a wall such as in any embodiment of the third aspect of the invention.
  • the wall comprises rows of bricks, wherein the bricks comprise an insert, wherein inserts of bricks of adjacent rows are coupled to each other mechanically so that a coupling is obtained between the bricks that comprise these inserts, wherein the bricks comprise a recess on their underside, wherein the recess is not visible on the outside of the wall.
  • the inserts have a base and one or more vertical components that pass vertically through the brick through openings, wherein the base comprises first coupling parts and the top of the vertical components comprises second coupling parts, for the mechanical coupling of the first coupling parts of a second said insert to the second coupling parts of a first said insert.
  • the method comprises repeatedly the step of coupling a second said insert on a first insert that is located in a first brick, wherein a second brick is taken and it is evaluated whether this second brick is suitable with respect to height for being placed with its recess over the base of the second insert, so that the second said insert will be located in the second brick.
  • the second brick is suitable in height, when the second brick is placed on the second insert, to couple a third insert on the second insert, and to place a third brick on the third insert so that a joint of correct height is obtained between the second brick and the third brick.
  • a third situation arises during building, wherein in the third situation the second brick is too high, when the second brick is placed on the second insert, to couple a third insert on the second insert, and wherein this third brick is put aside and another brick is taken, to be placed on the second insert.
  • the second coupling parts of a first said insert are coupled mechanically to the first coupling parts of a second such inserted component.
  • the sixth aspect of the invention is a set of components, optionally for use in a method such as in any embodiment of the fourth or fifth aspect of the invention, wherein the set comprises bricks, inserts and thickness plates suitable for the building of a wall such as in any embodiment of the third aspect of the invention.
  • the seventh aspect of the invention is a lintel for supporting a wall, wherein the lintel is provided with a fastening component and a supporting component, wherein the fastening component is configured to be fastened firmly to a component of a building, wherein the supporting component is provided with a supporting surface for supporting a wall.
  • the supporting component has an L-shaped cross section. The supporting component is fastened directly or indirectly to the fastening component, so that the height of the supporting component relative to the fastening component is adjustable.
  • These lintels according to this aspect of the invention allow height adjustment of the underside of the wall supported thereon. This may be important, for example above windows, to ensure that the rows of bricks of the wall above the window are properly horizontal from above nearest the window to above the window. This is especially important if the wall is built by a technique wherein the wall is compressed somewhat vertically. Differences in height of the wall compensate for differences in weight that the wall must support, and thus differences in compression. This is solved with the lintel, wherein the height of the supporting component is adjustable in height, also and especially during building of the wall and even if the wall has already been built.
  • the lintel according to this aspect of the invention is of symmetrical construction in front view.

  • the set screw is located in height position between the bottommost point and the topmost point of the supporting component.
  • Such embodiments make it possible, during construction of the wall, or after construction of the wall, to adjust the height position of the supporting surface via access under the supporting component. This requires that, when using the lintel above a window opening, the window has not yet been installed, or this window can be opened in order to reach the set screw through the window.
  • the set screw is located in height position above the topmost point of the supporting component. Such embodiments make it possible to adjust the height position of the supporting surface even if the lintel is used above a window opening in which a window has already been placed.
  • an opening may be left (i.e. one or more bricks are not placed) at the level of the set screw. This means the set screw is accessible, even if the wall has been constructed partially or completely (apart from the missing brick or bricks) and after suitable adjustment of the height of the supporting surface, the missing brick - or missing bricks - can be placed in the wall. This may possibly require an adjustment of this brick that is not visible from outside, so that the brick can be pushed into the opening in the wall to seal off this opening without it being visible that there had been an opening.
  • the supporting component is fastened directly or indirectly - preferably firmly - to a second intermediate component, wherein the second intermediate component is fastened - preferably firmly - directly or indirectly to the adjustable component.
  • “Fastened indirectly” means that there are one or more distance pieces between the components that are fastened to one another indirectly.

  • These third fastening rods are similar in design to the second fastening rods, but have a different length.
  • a second or a third fastening rod may then be used selectively. Since several rosettes are placed over the area of the wall, second fastening rods may be used in some places for anchoring and in other places third fastening rods, dependent on which fastening rod can be placed quickest and/or produces the best anchoring result.
  • the invention delivers very interesting results when using building systems for the outer wall wherein the connection between the bricks is obtained by means of mechanical anchoring of inserts in the bricks of the outer wall, such as shown in the figures above.
  • the inserts 14 comprise a number of openings 48, configured as holes positioned in a row in the longitudinal direction of the insert.
  • the second hook of a second fastening rod may be hooked into one of these openings 48. Because a number of openings 48 are provided, in a row, there is flexibility in making the anchoring between inner wall and outer wall. The anchoring can therefore take place quickly and reliably.
