Description

FRAME BUILDINGS SKI BOARDS

The present invention relates to the construction of a building from a ski board frame.

In general, used skis recovered from landfills end their life in specific landfill areas.

A company located in the French Alps has been recycling and recovering nearly 500,000 skis per year for the past ten years, through collection in four French departments.

The recycling process consists of crushing the ski boards into pellets. The steel is then separated by magnetization and recovered as a raw material, while the non-ferrous materials are transformed into fuel for the cement works. The bottom ash, residue from combustion, will be used as highway backfill.

Other companies turn used skis into designer furniture or decorative items, giving a second life to this leisure equipment.

New applications for the recovery of used ski boards remain to be developed.

The present invention proposes to recover used ski boards into building frame materials, as an alternative to conventional wood or metal frames.

According to a first aspect, the object of the invention relates to a system for constructing buildings from a framework which comprises stringers and uprights, characterized in that the uprights and/or the stringers comprise ski boards and /or butted ski boards as constituent elements, resulting in a ski board frame.

According to one characteristic, a stringer comprises two series of butted ski boards connected together by structural connecting elements.

According to the preceding characteristic, the structural connecting elements are located at each of the ends or substantially at each of the ends of the series of butted ski boards.

The connecting structural elements are regularly distributed along the interior space delimited by the two series of butted ski boards.

According to preferred embodiments, a structural connecting element is a parallelepiped.

According to an additional feature, the uprights are secured to the structural elements connecting the rails.

According to one embodiment, the spacings of the structural connecting elements of a bottom rail and a top rail are different.

According to another embodiment, at least one upright comprises two ski boards or two series of butted ski boards connected together by at least one structural connecting element.

According to an additional feature, at least one rail is offset, so that at least one upright extends beyond the rail.

According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a building constructed from the building construction system as described according to the previous embodiments.

The implementation of the invention will be better understood with the aid of the detailed description which is set out below with regard to the appended drawings in which:

Thus, the invention relates to a building construction system from a frame (1) ski boards, such as a bicycle shelter, a garden greenhouse, a garden shed, a bus shelter or a prefabricated building .

It is understood that a building is any construction intended to serve as a shelter.

The construction system according to the invention makes it possible to create a planar or curved framework (1), infringing or not, by the use of ski boards as a constituent unit of the framework (1) of a wall or a roof.

Ski boards are substantially used as wood or metal building materials in a wood frame or a metal frame respectively.

The invention therefore relates to a ski board frame (1).

Depending on the function and location of a ski board in the frame (1) according to the invention, a ski board can be cut to reduce its length, or assembled with another ski board, namely butted , in order to obtain a greater length.

The butt jointing of the ski boards is carried out by maintaining a length of overlap making it possible to maintain resistance and stiffness in bending.

The joining of ski boards makes it possible to produce frames (1) having a dimensioning of two to three meters in height and two to five meters in width, which are conventional dimensions for sections of wall or roof of a frame drink. These sections of wall or roof can be joined together to create larger structures.

It is understood that a series of butted ski boards consists of the longitudinal assembly, in an arc of a circle, in a parabola or hyperbola of ski boards by covering part of their respective ends, for example over a length of overlap of 20 or 50 centimeters, in order to create a crosspiece or an upright longer than the usual length of a ski board.

A series of butted ski boards may include the assembly of two, three, four or more ski boards.

The assembly of the ski boards is advantageously carried out using screws, but it could be otherwise, for example by a bolt-nut type locking system.

Note that a ski board comprises an upper face which was in its first use, intended to receive a ski boot binding, a lower face which was intended to slide on the snow, and two side faces.

It is understood that a ski board consists of a tail, a skate and a tip.

Conventionally, a framework (1) is in the form of a grid by assembling crosspieces and uprights.

The crosspieces are commonly called smooth (2), namely a lower smooth (21), a high smooth (22), or even an intermediate smooth (23).

In order to harmonize the rest of the description, a bottom rail (21) of a frame (1) forming a frame (1) of a wall or a frame (1) of a roof will be considered, a smooth ( 2) intended to be positioned on the ground when the frame (1) is in a vertical position.

In the rest of the description, the constituent elements of a framework (1) of a wall or of a framework (1) of a roof will have the same designations.

The uprights (3) are present in the frame (1) both at the lateral ends of a section of wall or of a roof, and regularly arranged in its interior space.

A framework (1) thus comprises uprights (3) which will be called end uprights (31) and internal uprights (32).

Due to the use of ski boards as a constituent unit of the frame (1) according to the invention, structural connecting elements (4) ensure the junction of the healds (2) and the uprights (3), in particular due to the small thickness of a ski board, the fixing of which on edge, namely on a lateral face, is difficult.

Thus, a system for constructing a ski board frame (1) according to the invention comprises a stringer (2), an upright (3) and a structural connecting element (4).

The structural connecting elements (4) also ensure the mechanical strength of the structure of the healds (2), even advantageously of the uprights (3) of an unbraced frame, as described in more detail in the following description.

A structural connecting element (4) advantageously comprises two first parallel faces intended to be joined with the series of ski boards butted with a smooth (2), and two second parallel faces for the junction of the ski boards or series of boards butted skis forming the uprights (3), as explained in more detail in the following description.

A structural connecting element (4) can also allow the assembly of two ski boards or series of joined ski boards, positioned in opposition for the production of a smooth (2) or an upright (3).

According to the illustrated embodiments, a structural connecting element (4) is a parallelepiped, for example made of wood, such as a block of wood, more precisely a cube or a wooden block.

A structural connecting element (4) in the form of a parallelepiped has a height and a length substantially equal to, preferably greater than, the width of a ski board, for example between 80 and 150 millimeters, and a length advantageously comprised between 80 and 150 millimetres.

According to other embodiments not illustrated, a structural connecting element (4) is a bracket or a structural shoe.

A stringer (2) according to the invention comprises two series of butted ski boards, assembled in opposition via structural connecting elements (4).

In other words, a stringer (2) comprises two series of butted ski boards mounted parallel opposite one another and assembled by structural connecting elements (4).

More precisely, the two series of ski boards butted with a smooth (2), delimit an interior space in which the structural connecting elements (4) are located.

The spacing of the two series of joined ski boards, constituting a smooth (2), is substantially equal to or greater, preferably greater, than the width of a ski board.

The spacing of the two series of ski boards butted with a smooth (2) is advantageously between 80 and 150 millimeters.

The structural connecting elements (4) are positioned in a regular manner along the series of ski boards butted with a stringer (2).

The connecting structural elements (4) are fixed against the upper or lower faces of a series of butted ski boards or a ski board.

According to one embodiment, the structural connecting elements (4) are assembled on the upper faces of the series of ski boards butted with a stringer (2).

According to the previous embodiment, the lower surfaces of the ski boards are thus directed outwards, the spatulas being directed towards the interior of the stringer (2), namely in the interior space located between the two series of joined ski boards.

According to one characteristic, at each of the ends or substantially at each of the ends of a stringer (2) is located a structural connecting element (4).

The end of a runner (2) is understood to mean the end of the heel or the opposite end with respect to the heel of the skate when the ski board is cut upstream of the spatula of a ski board assembled at the end of a series of butted ski boards.

It is understood by substantially the end of a stringer (2), the end zone of the runner located upstream of the tip of a ski board assembled at the end of a series of butted ski boards.

According to the previous characteristic, the presence of a structural connecting element (4) at the end or along a stringer (2) allows the assembly of an end upright (31) or an upright internal (32), as explained in more detail in the following description.

According to a first alternative of the invention, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the frame (1) of the construction system according to the invention is self-braced.

Recall that a self-braced frame (1) comprises internal uprights (32) arranged diagonally with respect to the rails (2).

According to the embodiment illustrated in , a self-braced frame (1) comprises alternating internal uprights (32) perpendicular to the smooths (2) and internal uprights (32) arranged diagonally with respect to the smooths (2), as explained below.

The spacings of the structural connecting elements (4) of a bottom rail (21) and a top rail (22) are different in a self-braced frame (1), namely that the structural connecting elements (4) internal spaces located inside the interior spaces formed by the end structural elements (4) of a stringer (2) are offset relative to each other of a bottom stringer (21) relative to a top stringer ( 22).

According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a bottom rail (21) has a spacing N between two structural connecting elements (4), while a top rail (22) has a spacing N + the length of a connecting structural element (4).

Remember that each of the healds (2) comprises a structural connecting element (4) at each of its ends.

According to the previous embodiment, an upright (3) formed from a ski board or a series of joined ski boards, is located perpendicular to the stringers (2) at each of its ends, forming a framework (1 ) whose periphery constitutes a parallelogram.

Preferably, the underside of a ski board forming an end post (31) is directed outwards.

According to the previous mode of execution, as illustrated from left to right in , the ends or substantially the ends of a ski board forming an end upright (31) are assembled to each of the second faces located outside the two first structural connecting elements (4) at the respective end of the top rail (22) and bottom rail (21); the so-called high end of the first internal upright (32) is assembled to the second face located inside the first structural connecting element (4) at the end of the top rail (22), and the so-called low end of the first internal upright (32) is assembled to the second face of the first structural connecting element (4) inside the bottom rail (21); the second internal upright (32) is assembled perpendicular to the healds (2) by coming to be secured to a second face of the first structural linking element (4) of the upper heald (22) and to a second face of the second structural linking element (4) interior of the bottom plate (21); this assembly of internal uprights (32) is repeated along the structural connecting elements (4) of the healds (2).

This assembly resulting in an internal upright (32) out of two arranged perpendicularly and diagonally with respect to the healds (2), forming a frame (1) self-braced ski board.

There illustrates an embodiment of a partial building structure comprising the assembly of three frames (1) braced wall.

Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the structure of a shelter, for example a bicycle shelter, comprising a braced wall frame (1) assembled with a braced roof frame (1). Ski boards as a leg or strut are assembled to the uprights (2) arranged in correspondence of the two frames (1) forming the illustrated shelter structure. Additional uprights, formed by assembling ski boards butted by structural connecting elements (4), are also assembled to the end uprights (31) of the roof frame (1).

According to another embodiment, not shown, a building structure comprises a self-braced wall frame (1) associated with a roof frame (1) braced by panels.

According to one feature, a roof frame (1) braced by panels comprises uprights (3) in which the structural connecting elements have a greater height than the width of a ski board, facilitating the installation of a structure roof over them.

According to an additional characteristic and as illustrated in , an intermediate smooth (23) can be secured to the uprights (2) of a frame (1) to reinforce the mechanical strength of the resulting structure. This intermediate smooth (23) is positioned between the lower smooth (21) and the high smooth (22).

An intermediate rail (23) can be secured to a flat or curved frame (1), self-braced or braced by panels.

According to a second alternative of the invention, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the frame (1) is braced by panels not shown.

According to the previous alternative, the uprights (3) of a frame (1) braced by panels comprise two ski boards or two series of joined ski boards assembled parallel to one another by means of at least one interior structural connecting element (4), and assembled perpendicular to the healds (2).

The two ski boards or two series of joined ski boards forming an upright (3) are assembled in opposition so as to form an interior space between the two ski boards, in which is assembled at least one structural connecting element (4) interior.

There illustrates uprights (3) of a frame (1) braced by panels, two ski boards of an upright (3) of which are secured by an interior structural connecting element (4).

There illustrates uprights (3) of a frame (1) braced by panels, two ski boards of an upright (3) of which are joined together by a succession of interior structural connecting elements (4) regularly distributed along the skates.

Note that unlike the internal uprights (32) of a self-braced frame (1), all of the uprights (3) of a frame (1) braced by panels are mounted perpendicular to the bottom rail (21) and to the top rail (22).

The uprights (3) of a frame (1) braced by panels have no structural connecting elements (4) at their ends.

This particular structure allows the assembly of the end uprights (31) and the internal uprights (32) on the structural connecting elements (4) at the end and the structural connecting elements (4) inside the rails (2).

More precisely, the inner end parts of the two ski boards or two series of butted ski boards forming an upright (3) are each assembled against a second face of a structural connecting element (4) of a smooth (2).

The rails (2), namely the top rail (22) and the bottom rail (21), of a frame (1) braced by panels are identical.

The spacings of the structural connecting elements (4) of a bottom rail (21) and a top rail (22) of a frame (1) braced by panels are thus equal.

It is understood that the bracing of a frame (1) braced by panels is achieved by the installation of panels on the inner and outer faces of the frame (1) itself.

According to one characteristic, the panels are secured to the internal structural connecting elements (4) of the uprights (3), as well as advantageously to the series of joined ski boards of the stringers (2), more precisely to the undersides of the constituent ski boards crosspieces forming a smooth (2).

Let us add that Figures 1 and 3 to 5 illustrate frames (1) ski boards with the smooth (2) assembled at the end of the uprights (3), while the illustrates a ski board frame (1) with at least one offset rail (2).

It is understood that an offset rail (2) is a rail (2) which is not secured to the end or substantially to the end of the uprights (3).

A smooth (2) offset from the uprights (3) of a frame (1) has two distinct functions.

A bottom rail (21) offset from the uprights (3), allows the uprights (3) to rest on the ground, raising the general structure of the frame (1) relative to the ground.

According to one embodiment, a frame (1) comprises a bottom rail (21) offset from the uprights (3).

According to the previous embodiment, the spatulas of the uprights (3) of a frame (1) are oriented in the direction of the bottom rail (21) offset, namely that the spatulas extend beyond the bottom rail (21), the structural connecting elements (4) of the bottom rail (21) being secured to the uprights (3) at substantially the end of the pads upstream of the spatulas.

A top rail (22) offset with respect to the uprights (3), allows easy connection of a wall frame (1) with a roof frame (1), by assembling the end parts of the uprights (3 ) emerging beyond the top rail (22) of the wall with the structural connecting elements (4) of a rail (2) of a frame (1) of the roof, as explained below.

According to another embodiment, a framework (1) comprises a top rail (22) offset with respect to the uprights (3).

According to the previous embodiment, at least one heel or the end part of a runner in which the spatula would have been cut out, of a ski board forming the uprights (3) arranged perpendicular to the healds (2) extend beyond the offset upper rail (22).

It should be noted that in the context of a self-braced framework (1), the end of the heel of a ski board forming an upright (3) positioned diagonally assembled to a structural connecting element (4) of the top rail (22), is advantageously positioned flush with the upper end of the structural connecting element (4) to which it is secured.

The end part of the tail of a ski board extending beyond a structural connecting element (4) of a top rail (22) of a wall frame (1) is intended to be introduced into the intermediate space of a top rail (22) of a roof frame (1) arranged perpendicular or forming an angle with the wall frame (1) arranged in correspondence, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. The end part of the heel of a aforementioned ski board is secured against the end part of a ski board of an upright (3) secured to a structural connecting element (4) of the upper rail (22) of the framework (1) of the roof arranged in correspondence of the structural connecting element (4) to which the end part of the aforementioned heel to be fixed is positioned.

According to one embodiment, the smooth (2), namely the bottom smooth (21) and the top smooth (22), of a frame (1) are offset.

The frameworks (1) described above represent parallelograms.

According to one mode of execution, as illustrated in , the top rail (22) of a wall frame (1) is curved, namely in an arc of a circle, the lengths of the uprights (3) are adjusted to the curvature of the top rail (22), while the smooth (2) of the framework (1) of the roof are curved.

The curvature of a runner (2) is obtained by bending the ski boards which are tensioned and held in position by the structural connecting elements (4) and the uprights (3) holding the two runners (2) of the framework (1).

According to the previous embodiment, additional uprights support the outer end of the roof frame (1).

Any form of structures on the models of wood and metal frames are reasonably achievable by the characteristics of the present invention.

In one particular example, the illustrates in a simplified manner the structure of a shelter comprising a wall frame (1) and a roof frame (1) comprising curved rails (2). If the curvature of the frameworks (1) is sufficient, the construction system does not require either struts or additional uprights to support the roof.

According to embodiments, Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a single self-braced curved frame (1) forming a shelter. The stringers (2) of the frameworks (1) illustrated above are positioned laterally as an upright, their ends resting on the ground or held by additional uprights, while the uprights (2) of the framework (1), by their orientations play the role of crosspieces of the resulting structure.

According to another embodiment not shown, a building construction system comprises a single curved frame (1) braced by panels.

For more elaborate structures, it is possible to add wooden or metal elements having a particular structure, to a frame (1) of ski boards according to the invention.

It is also possible to introduce insulating materials into the interior spaces of the frames (1) according to the invention, partitioned by panels, a rain barrier and a cladding, or even a transparent wall.

A ski board frame according to the invention has a cost price much lower than that of a wooden or metal frame.

A construction system according to the invention allows the recovery of used ski boards by another path than recycling into combustion and backfill materials, by providing a particular design to the resulting structures, in particular if the ski boards are visible in the finalized structure.
