Abstract

The invention concerns a component (1) for building wall elements or the like, comprising a cuboidal base element (2) that has one or more grooves (11) at least in one part of its periphery (5-10). A strip-shaped spring is used as connecting element (3, 4) in said grooves (11) to ensure positive-fit connection of adjacent base elements (2) to one another. This makes it possible to produce a groove-spring type of connection between adjacent components (1).

Description

    DESCRIPTION
  • The invention relates to a component for building wall-, ceiling-, floor-, supporting-, boundary-, and partition wall elements, etc. There are a multitude of embodiments of components that are stacked or arranged side-by-side in some way for various application purposes. It is also known, for example, to provide such components either with projecting springs or with corresponding grooves to achieve an engagement at their opposing bounding faces. However, such components can be used only for specific purposes. An individual adaptation is not possible. [0001]
  • The problem to be solved by the invention was therefore to provide a component of the aforementioned type that can be inserted individually, but where adjacent components can still engage with positive fit. [0002]
  • In accordance with the invention, this is achieved with a cuboid basic element that has, at least on part of its bounding faces, one or multiple grooves, whereby a strip-shaped spring can be inserted into said groove(s) as connecting element(s) to achieve a positive fit. [0003]
  • Thus, a base element only has prepared grooves, into which the required connecting elements then can be inserted in those areas, and thus those boundary faces, that are supposed to engage. Thus, all circumstances have to be taken fully into account. Regardless whether said components are supposed to connect successively in a row, if they are stacked directly or staggered with respect to one another, or if a type of corner or intermediate connection is desired, connecting elements can always be inserted into the grooves, which are already present at the desired location, and thus achieve an optimum, positive fit connection. [0004]
  • If the component is used to build walls, only an insignificant quantity of mortar is needed, or the application of a thin layer of adhesive is already sufficient to achieve a lasting, firm connection. Particularly because of the continuous, firm engagement of the building elements at the facing bounding faces, a safe construction is possible even in areas with a risk of earthquakes. Walls built in this way are substantially more tear-resistant than previous walling. The construction in accordance with the invention is particularly suitable for structures providing cover against avalanches, or generally for structures in areas with a high risk of avalanches. In view of thermal insulation, the embodiment in accordance with the invention can also be called optimal because neither the horizontal nor the vertical joints have a continuous layer of mortar. The interruption due to the inserted connecting elements has a positive effect here. Because there are always grooves and insertable springs on the upper side of the components, it is also advantageously possible to connect to ceiling elements because the ceiling elements can also correspondingly engage into the grooves or through the springs. [0005]
  • It is furthermore proposed that the base element has at least two grooves that run parallel to one another continuously over the circumference of all four boundary faces, which connect respectively at right angles. In that way, it is possible to achieve a reciprocal connection of the building elements in any position. Because there are at least two grooves, it is possible to achieve an even better mechanical connection and the thermal values are improved as well. In that way, there are also continuous grooves over the entire height of the inner- and outer boundary faces of the walls built in this way, which are interrupted only by the faces of inserted springs, if applicable. This also allows an optical anchoring of paneling or paneling elements, if applicable. Plug-type connections are also conceivable if the structures built with the components and paneling elements have to be disassembled again. Even if a permanent engagement is desired, i.e., if an additional adhesive connection is provided, for example, structures can be erected quickly with a simple means of connection. [0006]
  • To achieve an even better fit with wall corners or the integration of partition walls, etc., it is proposed that the base element has on its upper bounding face and its lower bounding face grooves that cross one another at right angles. Thus, connecting elements can also he randomly be inserted crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the one component. [0007]
  • In that context, it is helpful if the grooves crossing one another at a right angle at the upper and the lower bounding face of the base element run continuously over the entire circumference of all four bounding faces, which connect to one another at respective right angles. This further improves the mutual connecting possibilities. [0008]
  • To assure that there is always an exact correspondence between the grooves around the base element and the inserted connecting element, it is provided that the width of the segments of bounding faces remaining between two grooves are twice the size of the width of the segment that remains between the edge of a bounding face and the facing grooves. This allows for a positive fit particularly with connecting components that are staggered with respect to one another. [0009]
  • If an appropriate grid in maintained as well, the insertion options for the component in accordance with the invention are optimal. Thus, it is provided that the width of the segment that remains between the two grooves is four times the width of a groove, and the width of the segment between the edge of a bounding face and the facing groove is twice the width of a groove. [0010]
  • It is furthermore proposed that the connecting element can be inserted into the groove with a positive fit. This will guarantee that the connecting element will not shift or fall out when the next component is attached. This improves and simplifies the assembly significantly. [0011]
  • Another characteristic is that the length of the connecting elements to be attached at the upper bounding face and/or the lower bounding face of the base element corresponds to the total length or width of said bounding face. In this way, the connecting element does not project over the lateral bounding faces in case of a pre-assembly. Furthermore, this makes it possible to stagger the connecting elements in the construction of a wall, etc., depending on the position, which leads to an additional mutual engagement. [0012]
  • If it is furthermore provided that the length of the connecting elements to be inserted at the lateral bounding faces of the base element corresponds to the height of the base element less twice the depth of a groove, it is guaranteed that the connecting elements used for the lateral connection of components will not project over the base of the grooves facing the upper and the lower boundary faces. Thus, it is possible at all times to insert the connecting elements at the respective most recent upper bounding face of the components without obstruction. [0013]
  • Especially if the components in accordance with the invention are used to build walls with wall corners, with partition wall connections, i.e., in the case of a staggered placement, etc., it is especially advantageous if the component has special dimensions. Thus, it is proposed that the ratio between the total length and the total width of the base element is 1.5 to 1. This also guarantees an optimal connecting possibility of all adjacent components as well.[0014]
  • Other characteristics in accordance with the invention and special advantages are explained in greater detail in the following description by means of the illustrations. Shown are: [0015]
  • FIG. 1 a tilted view of a base element without inserted connecting elements; [0016]
  • FIG. 2 a top view of the base element; [0017]
  • FIG. 3 a lateral view in the direction of the arrow III in FIG. 2; [0018]
  • FIG. 4 a lateral view in the direction of the arrow IV in FIG. 2; [0019]
  • FIG. 5 a tilted view of a component comprised of a base element and inserted connecting elements; [0020]
  • FIG. 6 and [0021] 7 a tilted view of a respective construction with components in accordance with the invention.
  • The [0022] component 1 shown in its entirety in FIG. 5 is comprised of a base element 2 and connecting elements 3 and 4. Such components 1 are used to build wall-, ceiling-, floor-, supporting wall-, boundary-, and partition wall elements, etc. The base elements 1 as well as the connecting elements 3, 4 can be made of various materials, such as concrete, calcinated clay, metal, plastic or any insulating materials, or even a combination of various materials. Principally, the base element and the connecting elements can be even composed of different materials. However, the application of such components is not only possible in construction engineering and civil engineering, but also, for example, to build visual- or noise protection elements in offices or plants. However, such components are also excellently suited for use as toys to assemble and disassemble a variety of toys and other parts. When used [as toys] for play purposes, the present corners can also be designed as rounded corners.
  • The [0023] component 1 is comprised of a cuboid base element 2, which has at least on one part of its bounding faces 5 to 10 one or more grooves 11, whereby a strip-shaped spring can be inserted into said groove(s) 11 as connecting element 3 to achieve a positive fit connection between the connecting base elements 2.
  • In the embodiment of a [0024] component 1 shown in the illustrations, the base element 2 has two parallel running grooves 11 which run continuously over the circumference of all four bounding faces 5, 9, 6, 10 or 5, 8, 6, 7, which connect at respective right angles.
  • In the scope of the invention, it is also possible, of course, to provide only one groove, or two or more parallel aligned grooves. [0025]
  • In the shown advantageous embodiment, the base element [0026] 2 has on its upper hounding face 5 and its lower bounding face 6 grooves 11, which cross at a right angle. Especially in the corner areas of walls, etc. (see also FIG. 7), a design of this type is advantageous. In this type of arrangement, the grooves 11, which cross at a right angle at the upper bounding face 5 and the lower bounding face 6 of the base element 2, also run continuously around the entire circumference of all four bounding faces 5, 9, 6, 10 or 5, 8, 6, 7, which connect at respective right angles.
  • Specific grid measurements are suitable for an optimal use of the [0027] component 1 in accordance with the invention. The width D of the segments 12 of the bounding faces 5 to 10 remaining between two grooves 11 is twice the size of the width E of the segment 13, which remains between the edge of a bounding face 5 to 10 and the facing groove 11. In that way, another advantageous grid measurement is if the width D of the segments 12 remaining between two grooves 11 corresponds to four times the width S of a groove 11 and the width E of the segment 13 corresponds to twice the width S of a groove 11.
  • The connecting [0028] element 3, which can have the form of a strip-shaped spring, can be loosely inserted into the grooves 11. However, it is also possible to insert the connecting element 3 into the corresponding groove 11 with positive fit. Furthermore, it is conceivable to fixate said connecting elements in the grooves, for example with adhesive, if the type of mutual connecting and the staggering of the components 1 is known from the outset.
  • As shown in particular in FIG. 5, the length P of the connecting [0029] elements 3 to be inserted at the upper bounding face S and/or the lower bounding face 6 of a base element 2 corresponds to the total length L or the total width B of said bounding face 5 and/or 6. On the other hand, the length G of the connecting elements 4 to be inserted at the lateral bounding faces 7, 8, 9, 10 of the base element 2 corresponds to the height H of the base element 2 less twice the depth T of a groove 11. It goes without saying, of course, that the length of the connecting elements 3, 4 can vary as well. Thus, it would be conceivable, for example, that at least the connecting elements 3 can run over two or more successive components 1.
  • The entire component as such also has a special grid. The ratio of the total length L to the total width B of the base element [0030] 2 is 1.5 to 1. The illustrations in the FIGS. 6 and 7 show that any type of staggered construction of the components in accordance with the invention or the construction in the corner areas of walls, etc. is possible in a simple and effective manner. In the longitudinal direction of the components 1 as well as in crossways direction, a stable mutual support is guaranteed. With the additional use of mortar or adhesive, there are no continuous thermal bridges because of the intermediate connecting elements.
