Building module and the method of erecting walls of building with the application of the modules

USPTO Application #: 20060168904
Title: Building module and the method of erecting walls of building with the application of the modules
Abstract: The building module and method for erecting walls is composed of the supporting construction provided with the carrying ribs (1), placed at the settled distance one from another, to the above supporting construction at the lateral side of it one or two mantles (2) profiled on the outside surface and composed of at least one profile (3) placed simultaneously lengthwise and crosswise the carrying ribs are fixed. On the opposite side of the mantle, the flat mantle (2a) is fixed to the supporting construction, if necessary. On the top and at the bottom of the mantles there are preferably joint ends (8 and 8a) acting jointly which serve to join the adjacent modules whereas at the corners of buildings erected with their application they are provided with overlapping cruciform recesses (9 and 9a) made on the top and at the bottom of them. The carrying ribs have the uniform or segmented construction composed of cubes (1a) and attachments (1b) which are combined in a rigid way with the mantle profiles. In order to fix stable vertical supporting construction, the ports (14) earmarked for introducing threaded fasteners provided with the bolt have been made in the carrying posts (1).

[0001] The abject-matter of the invention is the building module and the method of erecting walls of buildings with the application of modules shape of which approximates the worked tree trunk.

[0002] Commonly known are building constructions erected with the application of logs, most often these of soft-wood that after cutting down, due to a moisture content, require the long-lasting seasoning. Walls of the construction are erected from logs by. means of placing one log on another and their joining by tenoning technique; in the case of erecting corner walls--the logs provided with recesses previously made on their ends (most often on one side , half-way their thickness) are attached one to another in a cruciform way. Buildings of this type are erected from dry logs and that is why, in order to speed up the process of drying, it is known that logs are subject to longitudinal sawing to obtain narrower elements, which are then dried in the industrial chambers and joined again by gluing.

[0003] According to the international patent claim No W 0997/39204, the building module used for erecting walls, namely--flat constructions of walls, is known. This module is provided with two parallel wall sections in a form of planes, external surfaces of which constitute at the same time the external surface of the wall under construction. The timber core of the module joints both parts of the wall and contains at least one section running longwise the module which--when the next building module is attached--vertically comes between wall sections of the next module in order to form together with it a pin junction, which overtakes forces that act crosswise. Both in this one and the other known (e.g. from the European description EP-0214088 and EP-0744507) similar construction solutions referring to modules, vertical forces in principal are transferred by appropriately matched--in respect of strength factor--plate sections of walls which constitute at the same time the external surfaces of the wall under construction. Obtaining any new outfit of walls requires the application of additional finishing materials. According to the Polish patent claim P.336370 the building module earmarked for erecting skeletons of building walls is also known; this module is provided with equally spaced carrying posts joined together in a rigid way with the application of distance plates. In such a solution vertical forces of the formed construction are transferred by posts joined together by means of tenoning.

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to work out a lightweight construction of a building module which will be able to substitute traditionally used timber logs.

[0005] In accordance with the invention, the module is provided with the mantle profiled on the outside surface which is composed of at least one profile placed simultaneously lengthwise and crosswise the carrying ribs; this mantle is fixed to the module on the lateral side of its supporting construction provided with the carrying ribs placed at the settled distance one from another. The module is provided with the one mantle profiled on its outside surface or two such mantles which are fixed to the supporting construction on both its lateral sides. In the case when there is only one mantle profiled on its outside surface, the flat mantle is fixed to the opposite lateral side of the supporting construction, if necessary. On the top and at the bottom of the mantles there are suitable joint ends which act jointly and serve to join the adjacent modules; on the other hand--at the corners of walls erected with the application of such modules--preferable the mantles have on the top and at the bottom overlapping cruciform recesses. At the ends of the module, plugs shaped to fit the inside contour of the module transverse section are fixed in respective holes. The carrying ribs constitute the uniform or segmented construction composed of cubes and attachments, which are combined in a rigid way with profiles of the mantle. The attachments are combined with the cubes by means of preferably frontal tongue-groove joint or they have arms embracing the cubes on the top and at the bottom which are led to combine the above. The carrying ribs are provided in their central parts with vertical ports made for threaded fasteners.

[0006] The method of erecting building walls with the application of the presented modules consists in it that the first wall module is placed on the ground-sill and then the band elastic seals are put on the mantle ends; next--the successive modules are placed one on another with a simultaneous positioning of the carrying ribs which are to meet together equally ; in order to fix stable vertical supporting construction, the glue is introduced into the contact point of the modules and/or they are fastened together by means of the threaded fasteners through the ports made in them; on the top of such a supporting construction, the carrying beam is laid; in the case of erecting corner walls, if necessary, the modules situated at the corners are laid alternately in a cruciform way and they are fastened together on the top and at the bottom with recesses that were made in them beforehand. Before the assembly or during the assembly the modules are filled with thermo insulation material.

[0007] Lightweight and simple construction of the module makes it possible to erect economical, stable and properly thermally insulated buildings with the application of various building materials.

[0008] The object-matter of the invention is presented in the examples of making shown in the respective figures where:

[0009] FIG. 1 presents the first example of making of the building module from a top perspective view,

[0010] FIG. 2--module from the FIG. 1 in a transverse section across the carrying rib of the supporting construction,
