[0001] This invention relates to a method for building inside and outside walls.
[0002] The object of this invention is to realize a method and, within the framework of
this, to use construction elements and their connection parts and to enable to build
walls or wall parts and to connect hooked with each other where necessary.
[0003] In order to enable this according to the invention, the method is characterised in
that use is made of elongated construction elements of wood or light concrete which
are piled up each other on the yard and connected with each other in the vertical
direction with profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section, and which
are anchored to the elongated construction elements.
[0004] The invention also relates to the construction elements and their connection parts
enabling the application of the method in excellent conditions.
[0005] Construction elements for the application of the method according to the invention
are characterised in that they comprise each time along the side which is in the use
position in contact with an under or upper lying element one continuous groove along
the one side and a continuous bulge cooperating therewith along the other side.
[0006] Other details and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description
of a method for building inside and outside walls and construction elements and their
connection parts according to the invention. This description is given exclusively
by way of example and doesn't restrict the invention. The reference numbers relate
to the drawings added herewith.

[0016] Figure 13 shows with the necessary breaks a perspective view with token apart connecting
parts belonging to the invention.
[0017] Figures 14, 17 and 20 show in top view, figures 15, 18 and 21 show in side-view and
figures 16, 19 and 22 show in perspective view the possibility to anchor the construction
elements to the profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section.
[0018] Figures 23 and 24 show in perspective view the connection, in longitudinal direction,
mutually between two construction elements.
[0019] Figure 25 show, with the necessary breaks, in perspective view the connection of
the walls at their ends, and the connection of a wall at its end, with an other wall
at a random place in that wall.
[0020] The construction elements which are used according to the method, are elongated elements
1 or 2.
[0021] The construction elements 1 or 2 show in the longitudinal direction, along their
narrow side, at least one continuous groove and along the opposite narrow side at
least one continuous bulge cooperating therewith.
[0022] The construction elements made of wood or light concrete can be put on each other
and be pressed fittingly into each other, so that sideways, at the inside as well
as at the outside, a well finished plane surface is created.
[0023] When the wall is builded elongated elements 1 or 2 (figures 1 and 2) are used with
along the top of the construction element 1, considered in the use position, continuous
grooves 3. Along both sides of the groove 3 continuous elevations 4 can be present.
The construction element which is put along the top on a underlying construction element
and is pressed fittingly therewith, shows a continuous bulge 5.
[0024] Along both sides of the continuous bulge 5 continuous grooves 6 are present. When
two construction elements laying above each other are pressed together, the continuous
elevations 4 fit in the grooves 6.
[0025] A continuous bulge 4' is provided along the top of the construction element 2 considered
in the use position. The construction element which is put along the top on an underlying
construction element and is pressed fittingly there in, shows a continuous groove
3'.
[0026] When two superposed construction elements are pressed together, the continuous bulge
4' fits in the continuous groove 3'.
[0027] When building a wall by means of the construction elements 1 or 2 according to the
invention, use is made of profiles 7 (figures 3 through 22 and figure 25) at the end
of the wall, where a connection has to be made with an other wall, or at a place on
the wall, where a connection has to be made with another wall.
[0028] These are profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section. These profiles
are provided in the longitudinal direction with notches 7.1 occurring at distances
corresponding with the heights of the construction elements 1 and 2.
[0029] These profiles can be made of one or several pieces. Upon using U-shaped profiles
the construction elements 1 or 2 are slidden, depending on the wall position with
respect to the profile 7, between or over the legs of the U (figure 3 through 22 and
figure 25).
[0030] To anchor the construction elements 1 or 2 to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular
or n-angular cross section, the profiles 8, 9 and 11 are connected (figures 3 through
22 and figure 25). The profiles 8 and 11 are placed in the groove 3 or 3' of the construction
elements 1 or 2. The profiles 8 and 11 have preferably an n-angular cross section,
although it is basically also possible to provide a circular cross section. The profile
8 is a straight-lined element. The profile 11 is an L-shaped element.
[0031] The profiles 8 and 11 are provided with at least one notch 8.1 and 11.1 and with
at least one notch 8.2 and 11.2 (figures 3 through 13 and 20 through 22). The profiles
8' and 11' are provided with at least one notch 8.1 and 11.1 and with at least one
notch 8.3 and 11.3. The profiles 8'' and 11'' are provided with at least one notch
8.1 and 11.1 and with at least one element 13 that can be unbreakable connected by
means of known techniques to the profiles 8'' and 11'', or is obtained by rectangularly
folding the profiles 8'' and 11'' (figures 14 through 19). The figures 14 through
22 show the possibility to anchor the construction elements 1 or 2 to the profiles
7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section besides the connecting possibility
showed in the figures 3 through 13.
[0032] In order to connect the profiles 8 and 11 with the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular
or n-angular cross section, the profiles 8 and 11 are slidden in the notches 7.1 of
profile 7. This is possible by taking the profiles 8 and 11 at their narrowest side
in the notches 7.1 of profiles 7 and then rotating them over 90 degrees (figures 6,
7, 11 and 12) so that both profiles are unbreakable connected together.
[0033] Use is made of profiles 8 and 11 depending the position of the wall with respect
to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section.
[0034] The profiles 8 and 11 are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means
of the profiles 9, which for that purpose fit into the notches 8.2 and 11.2 of the
elements 8 and 11 and in the notches 10 of the construction elements 1 and 2. The
profiles 8' and 11' are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means of
the profiles 12, which for that purpose fit into the notches 8.3 and 11.3 of the elements
8' and 11' and in the notches 10 of the construction elements 1 or 2. The profiles
8'' and 11'' are connected to the construction elements 1 or 2 by means of the elements
13, which for that purpose fit into the notches 10 of the construction elements 1
or 2.
[0035] It will be clear that the form of the cross section of the notches in the elements
1 and 2, 8 and 11, 8' and 11' correspond to the form of the cross section of the profiles
9, 12, 13, and 14.
[0036] To connect the profiles 8 and 11 to the profiles 14 one operates in the same manner
as connecting profiles 8 and 11 to the profiles 7. Namely one inserts the profiles
8 and 11 at their narrowest side in the notches 14.1 of the profiles 14 and then rotates
the profiles 8 and 11 over 90 degrees.
[0037] To connect the profiles 8', 11', 8'', 11'' to the profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular
or n-angular cross section, one inserts the profiles 8', 11' 8'', 11'' on their narrowest
side in the notches 7.1 of the profiles 7 and then rotates the profiles 8', 11', 8''
and 11'' over 90 degrees, so that these are unbreakable connected with each other.
[0038] While building a wall one thus progressively piles up the elongated construction
elements 1 and 2 and anchors them to profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular
cross section using the profiles 8 and 11 (depending on the position of the wall with
respect to the profile 7) or 8' and 11' or 8'' and 11'' and the profiles 9 or 12 or
13 or 14.
[0039] It will be clear that one either simultaneously piles up progressively the construction
elements 1 and 2 belonging to different walls and anchors to the profiles 7 with U-shaped,
circular or n-angular cross section, in the way as described before, or which are
piled up entirely or partially progressively the construction elements 1 or 2 belonging
to one wall, and anchors to the profiles with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross
section in the way as described before, and then piles up entirely or partially progressively
the construction elements 1 or 2 belonging to an other wall, and then anchors to the
profiles 7 with U-shaped, circular or n-angular cross section in the way as described
before.
[0040] To connect the construction elements mutually with each other in the longitudinal
direction the connection elements 8 and 9 are used (figures 23 and 24).
