Description

The invention relates to a load-bearing wall panel. sandwich intended for the realization of constructions, a profile for such a panel and a construction comprising such signs.

We already know constructions with a series of sandwich bearing wall panels. Known panels have a couple of posts of parallel structure between them and placed opposite one another and carried rigidly by the posts, an internal filling comprising an outer frame having two pairs of crosses lateral, high and low respectively; a couple of interior and exterior cladding coming to cover the frame, on both sides, and insulation means interposed between the frame and the couple siding.

In one of the known embodiments, provision is made a piece forming a low sole provided with a groove in which fits the filling in the lower part. This part is intended to be fixed to the foundation. In part high, the panel ends with a high crossbar.

Known posts feature on a cutaway connecting their external transverse faces to their faces external a groove intended for the housing of the part end of a flat, most often made of anodized aluminum. Such a flat thus forms a bridge between two posts adjacent by hiding their parting line. In contrast, the post has, on its inner face, a hollow. Both adjacent hollows of two posts associated with each other form a bowl in which an internal flat field is housed.

Document DE-A-21 20 445 describes a device for fixing partitions in constructions.

This device includes profiled holding strips of the partition, which are in several parts, which can be fixed to the floor and / or ceiling of the building and which are U-shaped.

This device has the disadvantage of retaining humidity.

Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of a exterior cladding profile for construction.

Figure 10 is a variant of the profile of the Figure 9 in the case of a corner post.

We refer more specifically to the drawings which illustrate one or more panels 1 placed "in situation" that is to say in the position they occupy in the construction namely vertically or substantially vertically. The notions and qualifiers of "high", "bottom", "interior" and "exterior" refer to this situation.

In addition, a panel having a certain extended, we call "internal" what is rather placed or facing the center of the panel and, on the contrary, we qualifies as "external" what is distant or turned to opposite the center of the panel.

Finally, we describe as "transverse" what extends in a general direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel 1.

Although the panels 1 illustrated in the figures are represented plan and full, the invention aims also the case where the panels have a shape other than flat and have one or two openings such as doors or windows, air vents or the like.

A panel 1 can have a dimension depending on the completed project.

A panel 1 first comprises a pair of posts structure 2. These two posts 2 are made of wood and are parallel to each other and placed opposite one of the other. Each post has in cross section a outline of generally square or rectangular shape limited by two transverse internal faces 3 and outer 4, an outer face 5 and an inner face 6.

In the illustrated embodiment, the post 2 has cut corners 7.

The internal transverse face 3 comprises a rebate 8 for receiving a filling 9 on which comes back later. This rebate 8 is located at proximity to the inside 6.

Near rebate 8 and outwards fastening means 10 are provided such as a groove for an exterior cladding profile 11 on which will come back later.

The external transverse face 4 comprises a rebate 12 for housing an assembly tab 13 between panel 1 and a farm or equivalent construction. The rebate 12 is located rather on the side of the face exterior 5.

Through holes 14 are drilled appropriately in post 2 between the two internal transverse faces 3 and external 4 at the rebate 12 and away from rebate 8.

Each hole 14 opens into the transverse face internal 3 by an enlarged part 15 serving as a housing for the free end portion of the bolt 16 and the nut therein is screwed or from the bolt head (depending on the production). This bolt goes through a corresponding hole formed in the assembly tab 13 which is immobilized in the rebate 12.

In the bottom of the rebate 8 and outwards a groove 17 is provided for a seal at water and air.

As follows from the above, the faces exterior 5 and interior 6 are flat. Besides, it no groove or groove or equivalent is provided in the cut angle 7 placed between the external transverse face 4 and the outer face 5.

The panel 1 then comprises the filling 9 fixed rigidly to the posts 2.

The filling 9 comprises in the first place a frame wooden exterior 18, with two pairs of crosspieces respectively lateral 19 engaged in the rebates 8, high 20 and low 21. These crosspieces 19, 20 and 21 have example a cross section with square outline.

The filling 9 comprises secondly a couple of interior cladding 22 and exterior respectively 23. These claddings 22 and 23 cover the frame 18 with on both sides. These cladding 22, 23 are produced by example in pre-lacquered galvanized sheet having a thickness of the order of 75 hundredths of a mm or some other element of cladding.

The filling 9 comprises, thirdly, insulation means 24 interposed between the frame 18 and the pair of cladding 22, 23. These insulation means can be in the form of an appropriate thickness (for example example 50mm) of expanded polystyrene or other materials insulators.

The panel 1 also comprises a first profile 25 forming a low beam and / or a second profile 26 forming high headdress.

These sections 25, 26 are made of material plastic. They have a general form of U or pseudo U, straight or inverted depending on whether it is the first profile 25 or the second profile 26.

Each profile 25, 26 has a core 27, a wing outer 29 and an inner wing 28.

The core 27 is fixed on the bottom cross member 21 for the first profile 25 and on the top cross member 20 for the second profile 26. Thanks to fastening means 30 such only screws, screwed into the profiles 25, 26 from the exterior so as to enter the cross member 21, 20 adjoining, the head of the screw being applied to the profiled outwards.

Preferably, screws 30 are provided. suitably distributed.

The wings 28, 29- trap the two corresponding cladding 22, 23.

The first section 25 is intended to be interposed between the frame 18 and the cladding 22, 23 on the one hand and the foundations or the base or the masonry support or a floor or equivalent on the other hand.

The first section 25 is also intended for form a drainage for panel 1 and avoid water lifts.

As for the second profile 26, it is intended to be interposed between the frame 18 and the cladding 22, 23 of a share, and a farm or floor or equivalent not represented.

The wings 28, 29 cover the crosspiece 20, 21 adjoining only part of its height and this preferentially.

The inner wing 28 has a size (counted in the height direction when panel 1 is in position) at least equal to that of the outer wing 29.

In the case of the first section 25 the inner wing 28 is larger than the outer wing 29. In in the case of the second profile 26, the two wings 28, 29 have substantially the same size. Furthermore, the soul 27 of the second profile 26 is substantially planar.

On the contrary, the core 27 of the first profile 25 has a crenellated tormented form. This results in the presence of several internal core sections 32 forming support for the bottom cross member 21 and one or more sections of outer core 33 interposed between the core sections internal 32 and forming support for the foundations, the base, supporting masonry, floor or equivalent 31.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the first profile 25 includes an internal core section 32 median and two internal core sections 32 on either side of the middle section. If necessary, other sections internal web sides can be provided. The section of internal median soul defined a niche open towards the exterior in which the fixing means are housed 30 such as the screws described. Associated with this niche sealing means 34 such as adhesive foam with closed cells filling the niche.

The core 27 of the first profile 25 also includes at least two sections of external core 33 adjoining or close of the two wings 28, 29.

The first profile 25 also includes, adjoining to one and / or the other of these wings 28, 29 (in this case attached only to the outer wing 29 in the case of the Figure 6) a projection 35 directed towards the opening of the U of the profiled, substantially coplanar with the core section internal 32 and participating in the support of the bottom rail 21.

The section of web closest to the wing inner 28 is an outer core section 33. Between this section 33 and the inner wing 28, the first section 25 consists of an inclined connecting wall 36 both in relation to the core 27 and in relation to the wing interior 28 including 45 degrees.

It is provided in the connection wall 36 at the minus one and generally preferably a series of holes 37 suitably distributed to ensure drainage of the panel. The hole or holes 37 have one or more axes forming an angle of the order of 45 degrees with that of the core 27.

Furthermore, the first profile 25 comprises, adjoining the inner wing 28 and towards its free edge 38 a wing return 39 directed towards the plane of the core 27 and towards the outside of the first profile 25.

The free edge 40 of the wing return 39 is placed substantially in the plane of the outer core sections 33. This free edge 40 preferably forms a bead. The wing return 39 made with the inner wing 28 or the core 27 an angle of the order of 45 degrees.

In the embodiment shown in the Figures, the wing return 39 has a generally planar shape. In other embodiments, the wing return 39 has a shape general tormented including dihedral.

A support leg 41 is, in the embodiment shown in the figures, interposed between the wing interior 28 in the vicinity of its connection with the wall 36 and the wing return 39.

We now refer more specifically to the figure 7.

An exterior cladding profile 11 comes to cap outwards two adjacent structural posts 2. This profile is fixed to these two posts by the means attachment 10 it comprises.

The covering profile 11 a in cross section transverse a general form of U or pseudo U having a core 42 and two wings 43. The core 42 is positioned opposite, parallel and slightly apart with a certain play of the outer faces 5 of the two posts. Her provision ensures the recovery of different alignments that may exist between two adjacent posts.

Preferably, the profile 11 forms a rounded between the core 42 and the wing 43. This rounding is pressed against against the cut angle 7 of the post 2.

The wings 43 are, at their free edge, folded towards the core 42 to form an attachment 44 complementary to hanging 10.

Such an exterior cladding profile 11 can be made of sheet metal with a thickness of the order of 75 hundredths of a mm in hot-dip galvanized steel coated with bifluorinated polyvinilithene resin chosen for a use in aggressive environments due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and attack by ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, such a resin does not retain the dust and has anti-graffiti properties.

Such an exterior cladding profile 11 is more specially shown in figure 9 in cross section transverse. Such a profile has a certain flexibility and can be fitted on both posts adjacent by clipping.

Furthermore, it is further provided that the construction includes at least one cladding profile interior 45 coming inwardly styling two posts 2 adjacent. Such a section 45 is fixed to these posts and / or interior cladding 22.

In the embodiment shown in the Figure 7, the profile 45 has a general shape of U flattened and includes a core 46 and two wings 47. These wings 47 are folded coplanarly towards the opening of the U to form returns 48. The spacing between the core 46 and returns 48 corresponds substantially to the spacing between the inner face 6 and the inner cladding 22. By elsewhere, the opening between the two free edges opposite of the two returns 48 corresponds substantially to the spacing between the two opposite internal transverse faces 3 of two adjacent posts 2.

An adhesive 49 is interposed between the core 46 and the inner faces 6 of the two posts 2.

The interior trim profile 45 can be made of hot-dip galvanized sheet steel having a thickness of the order of 75 hundredths of a mm coated with polyester lacquer including micro polyamide beads ensuring good resistance to scratches and abrasion.

We now refer to Figure 10 which illustrates a profile 50 intended more specifically for covering a corner post. Such a profile has a general shape angle iron having four successive sections perpendicularly between them 51, 52, 53 and 54 the two end sections 51 and 54 comprising side of the opening 55 of the profile 50 two returns 56.
