[0001] The present invention relates to an elevation panel for constructing on a constructional
partition an elevation formed of lining plates. The present invention also relates
to an elevation system comprising an insulation layer formed of a number of rectangular
prism-shaped insulation plates with inner sides facing a constructional partition
and with outer sides covered with an elevation layer formed of a number of lining
plates.
[0002] Covering a thermal insulation layer with lining plates is a labour-consuming process,
which in the first instance comprises covering a thermal insulation with a reinforcing
layer by embedding a reinforcing net into a glue mortar layer. Subsequently the reinforcing
layer is preferably additionally fixed to the thermal insulation layer by means of
appropriately arranged point fastening elements, most commonly in a form of rawl plug
fasteners. In turn lining plates are fixed onto such constructed reinforcing layer
by using another layer of glue mortar. In order to obtain a good visual effect the
lining plates have to be installed with great accuracy in horizontal rows with equal
horizontal distances between the lining plates in the rows as well as with equal vertical
distances between the adjacent rows. The final stage comprises filling up the distances
between the lining plates with appropriate grout material.
[0003] In order to facilitate and speed up a lining plate installation process, in the state
of art insulation plates have been proposed comprising on their front sides various
types of aligning recesses/projections designed for aligning lining plates. On such
known insulation plates it is not however possible to employ a reinforcing layer between
a thermal insulation layer and a lining plate layer, as a reinforcing layer would
cover aligning elements, thus limiting the range of usability of such known solutions.
[0004] The object of the present invention has been to provide an alternative solution enabling
for speeding up an installation of lining plates.
[0005] In order to accomplish the aforementioned and other objects, according to the present
invention it is provided an elevation panel as described at the outset for constructing
on a constructional partition an elevation formed of lining plates, that is characterized
in that it comprises a carrying layer on the one side of which there is arranged a
matrix of rows of lining plates, preferably ceramic plates, in particular clinker
plates.
[0006] The carrying layer of the preferred embodiments of the present invention has a form
of a net, preferably a fiberglass net, preferably having a surface weight greater
than 100 g/m
2, and even more preferably greater than 200 g/m
2.
[0007] The lining plates are preferably glued to the carrying layer of the panel according
to the present invention, preferably by means of acrylic glue based on water, such
as for example liquid chloroprene rubber-based dispersion contact-glue, or polymer
glue, such as for example epoxy glue. In particular it is preferable to cover the
whole surface of a lining plate.
[0008] In the preferred embodiments of the panel according to the present invention, the
lining plates in the adjoining rows parallel to each other are dislocated in relation
to each other on the longitudinal direction of the panel, and in at least one of the
rows from one side the outermost lining plate is dislocated inward relative to the
edge of the carrying layer thus exposing an uncovered region on the carrying layer.
[0009] In such embodiments in may be further preferably if the outermost lining plate located
in the lining plate row at the opposite side in relation to the carrying layer uncovered
region is projected out of the carrying layer forming a projection corresponding to
the uncovered region, wherein in the carrying layer the projections of the outermost
lining plates and the uncovered regions corresponding thereto exist preferably in
every other row of the lining plates.
[0010] The lining plates forming the matrix are preferably distanced from each other substantially
at the same distances forming grout gaps.
[0011] In the preferred embodiments of the panel according to the present invention in the
carrying layer the apertures for fastening elements are formed in the uncovered regions
and/or in the grout gaps, wherein the apertures are preferably surrounded by stiffening
flanges located on the same side of the carrying layer as the lining plates.
[0012] The carrying layer of the panel according to the present invention preferably has
a form of an angle section forming a corner elevation panel.
[0013] The panel according to the present invention enables for very fast covering various
arbitrary constructional surfaces with an elevation formed of lining plates. An installation
of lining plates using the panel according to the present invention may be performed
by medium-qualified workers; high-qualified and experienced workers are not required
such as in case of typical prior art technology of constructing lining plate layer.
Leaving uncovered regions of the carrying layer enables for installing fastening elements
thereon which couple together the adjoining panels and appropriately aligning the
adjoining panels in relation to each other. Thanks to that a layer of lining plates
is durable and features a high degree of lining plate arrangement uniformness over
the whole area that results in obtaining a supreme visual effect. In an advantageous
case, coupling of adjoining panels consists in an installation of lining plate projections
of a given panel in the uncovered regions of the carrying layer of the adjoining panels.
Additionally uncovered regions constitute convenient areas for fastening a panel to
a constructional partition by means of various type of fastening elements, such as
for example rawl plug fasteners.
[0014] According to the present invention it is also provided an elevation system as described
at the outset comprising an insulation layer formed of a number of rectangular prism-shaped
insulation plates with inner sides facing a constructional partition and with outer
sides covered with an elevation layer formed of a number of lining plates, that is
characterized in that the elevation layer comprises at least one elevation panel according
to the present invention.
[0015] In some preferred embodiments of the elevation system according to the present invention
said at least one insulation plate is provided on its outer side with longitudinal,
horizontal projections parallel to each other, wherein the distance between the two
neighboring projections preferably corresponds to the width of the lining plates.
[0016] Said at least one insulation plate preferably comprises developed surfaces and/or
mounting recesses between the longitudinal projections, wherein the mounting recesses
are additionally preferably provided with aligning depressions.
[0017] The back inner side of said at least one insulation plate of the elevation system
according to the present invention is preferably provided with at least one area of
a developed surface for improved cementing, preferably of a shape of a band extended
substantially parallel relative to the side edge of the insulation plate, preferably
located in the vicinity of the periphery of the inner side of the insulation plate.
[0018] In the variants provided with developed surface of the inner side of the insulation
plate it may be furthermore advantageous that the first rectangular latticed groove
structure comprised of the transverse grooves intersected with the longitudinal grooves
and the second rhomboidal latticed groove structure comprised of the right-skewed
grooves intersected with the left-skewed grooves are formed in the back inner side
of said at least one insulation plate, wherein the intersection points of the grooves
of the second rhomboidal latticed groove structure are located in the centers of the
sides of the rectangular cells of the first rectangular latticed groove structure,
whereas all the grooves extend over the whole inner side of the insulation plate with
outlets formed in its lateral sides, and wherein said latticed groove structures are
preferably surrounded with external circumferential cutout into which said grooves
are opened.
[0019] In the preferred embodiments of the elevation system according to the present invention
in the surface of the inner side of said at least one insulation plate at least one
mounting groove for the adhesive material is formed.
[0020] According to the present invention it may be furthermore advantageous that said at
least one insulation plate has the top and bottom surfaces provided with complementary
mounting locks for connecting the neighboring insulation plates, wherein the bottom
and top mounting locks in the vicinity of the outer side of the insulation plate has
at least one surface that is angled upwards and toward the inner side of the insulation
plate, wherein the surfaces are substantially complementary with each other.
[0021] In such embodiments said at least one surface that is angled upwards and toward the
inner side of the insulation plate preferably adjoins the outer side of the insulation
plate.
[0022] Furthermore it may be preferable that a substantially horizontal surface is formed
between said at least one surface angled upwards and toward the inner surface of the
insulation plate and the outer side of the insulation plate.
[0023] In the system according to the present invention in case of using insulation plates
with the longitudinal projections the carrying layers of elevation panels resist against
these longitudinal projections and thanks to that all elevation panels may be installed
coplanarly in relation to each other in a simple manner.
[0024] In case of covering the whole inner side of lining plate with glue, the layer of
glue constitutes a very advantageous bonding bridge increasing binding force of a
lining plate to glue mortar layer.
[0025] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below in connection
with the attached drawings on which::
Figs. 1, 2 and 5 present respectively the first embodiment, the second embodiment
and the fifth embodiment of an elevation panel according to the present invention
in a front view,
Figs. 3, 4 and 6 present respectively the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment
and the sixth embodiment of an elevation panel according to the present invention
in a perspective view,
Figs. 7, 8, 11, 18, 20 and 21 schematically present the first embodiment, the second
embodiment, the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, the fifth embodiment and
the sixth embodiment of an elevation panel according to the present invention in a
cross-sectional view;
Figs. 9, 10, 12-17, 19 present embodiments of insulation plates of an elevation system
according to the present invention.
[0026] The flat elevation panel 1 a according to the present invention presented as presented
in Fig. 1 comprises a matrix of intermutually parallel rows 2 of lining plates 3 fastened
on a rectangular carrying layer 4a. The lining plates 3 have a form of clinker ceramic
plates. The carrying layer 4a has a form of a reinforcing net of high stiffness. For
example the carrying layer may be formed of a fiberglass net, preferably having a
surface weight equal to or greater than 470 g/m
2, preferably having a mesh size of 7.5x7.5 mm, and preferably having tensile strength
equal to or greater than 4000 N/50 mm.
[0027] The plates 3 are fixed on the net 4a by means of appropriate adhesive material. A
use of two-component epoxy glue may be appropriate for example.
[0028] The lining plates 3 are distanced from each other forming grout gaps 5, wherein the
distances d between the plates 3 in the rows 2 equal the distances D between the rows.
The grout gaps between the plates 3 are designed to receive grouts 5 after installing
the panel 1 on the elevation.
[0029] In the adjoining rows 2 the plates 3 are shifted in the relation to each other in
the longitudinal direction of the panel 1 a. The longitudinal direction of the panel
1 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the rows 2 of the plates 3. In the
presented embodiment the lining plate shift equals the sum of the half of the lining
plate 3 length and the distance d between the plates 3 in a row.
[0030] In every other row of lining plates, at one side the outermost plate 31 extends out
of the carrying layer 4a thus forming a projection 311, and at the other side the
outermost plate 32 is shifted inwards relative to the transverse edge of the carrying
layer 4a thus defining on the carrying layer an uncovered region 41 corresponding
to the projection 311 of the opposite outermost plate 31. Apertures 411 for fastening
elements are formed on the uncovered areas 41 of the carrying layer 4a.
[0031] In the depicted embodiment all the projections 311 of the outermost plates 31 are
located at the same side of the panel 1 a. It is however obvious that projections
311 in different rows 2 may be located at different sides, such as for example demonstrated
in the panel 1 b illustrated on the Fig. 2.
[0032] Owing to the arrangement of the projections 311 of the outermost lining plates 31
/ the uncovered regions 41 of the carrying layer 4 on the one side of a panel that
corresponds to the arrangement of the projections 311 of the outermost lining plated
31 / the uncovered regions 41 of the carrying layer 4 on the opposite side of the
panel, the panels according to the present invention may be juxtaposed one next to
another onto the longitudinal direction interengaging with each other in such a manner
that the projections 311 of one panel cover the uncovered regions 41 of the carrying
layer 4 of the adjoining panel.
[0033] Additionally the plates 3 of the outermost top row 2 are projected in the transverse
direction out of the longitudinal edge of the carrying layer 4, whereas the outer
edges of the plates 3 of the opposite outermost bottom row 2 are shifted inward relative
to the bottom edge of the carrying layer 4, thanks to that an engagement in the vertical
direction is also achieved between the adjoining rows of panels.
[0034] Fig. 3 presents the third embodiment of the elevation panel 1c according to the present
invention, provided with the carrying layer 4c in a form of an angle net section,
on the outer surface of which the rows 2 of the lining plates 3 are fixed. Each row
2 comprises two lining plates contacting with each other at the edge of the angle
section 4c and comprising one complete intact lining plate 3 located on the surface
of the first section arm 4c and one half-piece lining plate 33 located on the surface
of the second section arm 4c. In the consecutive rows 2 the half-piece plates 33 are
fixed alternately on the first and second arm of the section 4c, in a result of which
between the pairs of the adjoining complete intact plates 3 the uncovered regions
41 are formed on the carrying layer 4c limited at the inner sides by the half-piece
lining plates 33. The uncovered regions 41 of the carrying layer 4c in the adjoining
rows 2 are located at the opposite sides on the longitudinal direction of the panel
1 c. The apertures 411 for fastening elements are formed on the uncovered regions
41.
[0035] Fig. 4 presents the fourth embodiment 1d of an elevation panel according to the present
invention. The panel 1 d constitutes a corner panel similar to the panel 1 c of figure
Fig. 3, with the difference that on one arm of its angle section in the carrying layer
uncovered regions of panel 1c, the panel 1d is additionally provided with the lining
plates 31 forming the projections 311 in an analogous manner as in the flat panels
1 a, 1 b of Figs. 1, 2. The projections 311 of the panel 1 d shall be introduced into
the uncovered regions of the carrying layer of the adjoining flat panel, such as for
example the panel 1 a.
[0036] The fifth elevation panel embodiment 1e as presented in Fig.5 corresponds substantially
to the panel 1 a of Fig. 1, wherein the panel 1 e comprises the lining plates 3 forming
the matrix that are contacting with one another with all lateral longitudinal edges
without the longitudinal grout gaps. Furthermore owing such a compact arrangement
of the plates 3 it is possible to employ the carrying layer 4e made of a fiberglass
net of smaller surface weight amounting for example 200 g/m
2. The elevation plates 3 are glued to the net 4e by means of liquid chloroprene rubber-based
dispersion contact-glue covering the whole areas of plates 3.
[0037] In the adjoining rows 2 the plates 3 are dislocated in relation to each other on
the longitudinal direction of the panel 1e. The longitudinal direction of the panel
1e is the same as the longitudinal direction of the rows 2 of plates 3. In the presented
embodiments the lining plates shift for the adjoining rows equals the half of the
lining plate 3 length.
[0038] In every other row 2, at one row side the outermost plate 31 is projected out of
the carrying layer 4e forming the projection 311 and at the opposite row side the
outermost plate 32 is shifted inward relative to the transverse edge of the carrying
layer 4e exposing thereon the uncovered region 41 corresponding to the projection
311 of the opposite outermost plate 31. The apertures 411 for fastening elements are
formed on the uncovered regions 41 of the carrying layer 4e, wherein the apertures
are surrounded by stiffening flanges 412 located on the same side of the carrying
layer 4e as the lining plates 3. The stiffening flanges 412 have a form of rings made
of plastic material.
[0039] The sixth elevation panel embodiment 1f as presented in Fig. 6 is a corner panel
similar to the panel 1c of Fig. 3. In particular the panel 1f is appropriate to be
installed in corners of headers, therefore in Fig. 6 the panel 1f is oriented horizontally
positioned in a figuratively depicted header, for example a window header.
[0040] Each row 2 comprises two complete intact clinker lining plates 3 contacting with
each other on the edge of the net angle section 4f forming the carrying layer. Therefore
in the panel 1f the outer edges of all plates 3 are located on the one common straight
line, and the panel comprises no uncovered regions. The rows 2 of the plates 3 are
distanced form each other at the distance D thus forming the grout gaps 5.
[0041] In the area of the grout gaps 5 the apertures 411 designed for fastening elements
are situated and surrounded with stiffening flanges 412 located partially under the
lining plates 3.
[0042] Obviously the panels 1 a and 1 d of Figs. 3 and 4 may be also used in an analogical
manner as presented in Fig. 6.
[0043] A possibility of an installation of lining plates on the inner side of a net angle
section is also obvious in a manner analogous to the embodiments presented in Figs.
3, 4, 6, thus producing an inner corner elevation panel according to the present invention.
[0044] Furthermore positioning the apertures for fastening elements in the area of the grout
gaps and surrounding the apertures with stiffening elements located between lining
plates not only in corner elevation panels as illustrated for example in Fig. 6 but
also in any other various elevation panels according to the present invention, such
as for example the flat panels presented in Figs. 1, 2 and 5, is also obvious.
[0045] The first exemplary embodiment of the elevation system 6a according to the present
invention is schematically illustrated in Fig. 7. The elevation system 6a is constructed
with a use of elevation panels according to the present invention, wherein the system
is particularly suitable for forming a wall elevation on various constructional partitions,
in particular, building walls.
[0046] The elevation system 6a comprises an insulation layer 7a formed of insulation plates
71a, the back inner sides 711a of which are directly bonded to the wall 8 by means
of a layer 9 of an appropriate known adhesive material. The insulation plates in the
systems according to the present invention may be for example plates made of foamed
polyurethane resin in a form of stiff structural foam of increased weather resistance
or of foamed polystyrene of increased hardness. The front outer sides 712a of the
insulation plates 71a are covered with an elevation layer 10 formed of the elevation
panels 1 according to the present invention. The panels 1 are fixed to the plates
71a by means of glue mortar layer 11 bonding the outer sides 712a of the insulation
layer 7a with the inner sides of the lining plates 3 and with the net of the carrying
layer 4 if the panel 1, and by means of the fastening elements 12a connecting the
carrying layer 4 of the panel 1 with the insulation layer 7a and with the wall 8.
The apertures 411 in the net of the carrying layer 4 of the panel 1 are designed for
rawl plug fasteners serving as fastening elements 12a and are matched to bolts 121
of the fasteners 12a. The flanges 122 of the rawl plug fasteners 12a are slightly
deformed in the area of the carrying layer 4 around the apertures 411 forming depressions
412. Thanks to this deformations the flanges 122 in the uncovered regions do not stand
out above the surface of the carrying layer 4 thus enabling for fixing the lining
plate projections of a given panel in the same plane as the lining plates of the adjoining
panels. After fixing a panel 1, the grout gaps 5 between the lining plates 3 are filled
up with appropriate grout material forming grouts 13. In the presented example, common
polystyrene foam plates 71 a are used provided with basic mounting locks comprising
rectangular prism-shaped projections on first lateral sides of plates and rectangular
prism-shaped cutouts located on the opposite lateral sides of plates and matched to
the projections of the opposite lateral side, contacting with each other when plates
are fixed on a wall.
[0047] The second embodiments of an elevation system 6b according to the present invention
is presented in Fig. 8. The system 6b comprises the insulation plates 71 b (depicted
in details on Figs. 9 and 10 respectively in a side view and a front view) that form
the insulation layer 7b and are provided with the horizontal longitudinal projections
713 intermutually parallel with each other and preferably set in intervals of length
R equaling approximately the width of the lining plates 3 in the panel 1. In the system
6b the carrying layer 4 of the panel 1 resists against the projections 713 of the
insulation plate 71 b, but does not resist directly against the outer side 712b thereof.
[0048] Fig. 11 presents schematically the third embodiment of the elevation system 6c according
to the present invention, in which the second type of the insulation plate 71c is
used depicted in Figs. 12, 13 and 14 respectively in a front, back and side view.
[0049] The insulation plate 71c has the inner side 711c provided with developed surface
of gluing created of a number of grooves forming two latticed groove structures. The
first of the latticed groove structures is a rectangular latticed structure formed
of transverse grooves 7111c intersected with longitudinal grooves 7112c, and the second
of the latticed groove structures is a rhomboidal latticed structure formed of right-skewed
grooves 7113c intersected with left-skewed grooves 7114c. The intersection points
of the grooves 7113c, 7114c of the second latticed groove structure are located in
the centers of the sides of the rectangular cells of the first latticed groove structure,
whereas all the grooves 7111c-7114c extend over the whole inner side 711c of the insulation
plate 71 c and are opened into the external circumferential cutout 7115c.
[0050] In this embodiments the surface of the outer side 712c of insulation plates 71c is
a developed surface, wherein its development comprises a net-like structure of intermutually
intersecting longitudinal grooves 7121c. Similarly as in the embodiment of Figs. 8-10,
on the outer sides 712c of insulation plates 71c horizontal, intermutually parallel
longitudinal projections 713 are formed against which the carrying layer 4 of the
panel 1 is resisted.
[0051] Furthermore mounting recesses 7122c (matching a geometry of the fastening element
12c flange in terms of a shape and a depth) are formed in the outer side 712c in the
interspaces between the projections 713, and are provided with centrally situated
centering recesses 7123c facilitating appropriate determining a place for passing
the fastening element 12c bolt throughout the insulation plate 71c. The mounting recesses
7122c are preferably shifted in relation to each other on the adjoining axes perpendicular
to the projections 713, in such a manner that on one such an axis the mounting recesses
7122c are located in every other interspace between these projections 713.
[0052] In the system 6c the insulation layer 7c is fixed to the wall by means of the fastening
elements 12 passing through the carrying layer 4 of panels 1 and through the insulation
plates 71c, and furthermore also by means of additional fastening elements 12c passing
only through the insulation plates 71c and provided with the flanges 122c seated in
the mounting recesses 7122c of the plates 71 c.
[0053] In Figs. 15-17 alternative embodiments of surface developments of the inner sides
711d and 711e of insulation plates for a use in a system according to the present
invention such as for example the system 6c of Fig. 11.
[0054] As contrasted with the plate 71 c, surface development exists solely on some regions
of the inner sides of the plates 71 d and 71 e.
[0055] The inner side 711d of the plate 7 is provided with developed gluing surface regions
comprising a circumferential region 7116d in a form of a band bordered on the outer
circumferential edge of the inner side 711d of the plate 71d and three transverse
bands 7117d parallel in relation to each other and to the shorter sides of the plate
71d and joined with the circumferential band 7116d.
[0056] The inner side 711e of the plate 71 e is however provided with an analogous circumferential
surface development region 7116e and a single longitudinal surface development region
7117e extended parallelly relative to the longitudinal edge of the plate 71 e.
[0057] Fig. 17 depicts an enlarged view of the section A of the surface development of the
plates 71d, 71e. The surface development is obtained in these plates by forming two
sets of grooves 7118, 7119 that are intermutually parallel in each set and thus create
a latticed matrix of columns and rows, wherein the adjoining grooves are substantially
perpendicular to each other.
[0058] Fig. 18 presents schematically another embodiment of an elevation system according
to the present invention in which a different type of insulation plates 71f is used
as depicted in an axonometric back view in Fig. 19.
[0059] The insulation plate 71f is provided on the back inner side 711f with an arrangement
of mounting grooves comprising a circumferential mounting groove 71110, the component
sections of which are parallel relative to the side edges of the plate 71f, and two
transverse mounting grooves 71111 parallel relative to the transverse side edges of
the plate 71f and connected with the circumferential groove 71110. The outer side
of the plate 71 is flat.
[0060] In the system 6f the adhesive material layer 9f bonding the insulation layer 7f with
the wall 8 is formed by adhesive material strips 91f (such as for example strips of
the polyurethane glue TYTAN EOS produced by Selena S.A., Wroclaw, Poland) applied
into the mounting grooves 71110, 71111 of the inner side 711f of the plate 71f. In
the system 6f the elevation panel 1f according to the present invention is used provided
with the mounting apertures 411 surrounded with stiffening flanges 412 disposed in
grout gaps, in the manner analogous to the embodiment of Fig. 6. The elevation panel
6f is fixed to the insulation layer 7f by means of the adhesive material layer 11
and by means of a number of fastening elements 12f, the flanges of which 122f are
situated in the grout gaps 5 resting against the stiffening flanges 412 of the panels
1 f.
[0061] Figs. 20 and 21 present further two embodiments of an elevation system according
to the present invention in which insulation plates 71 g and 71 h are distinguished
by a specifical geometry of mounting locks.
[0062] The top side and the bottom side of each insulation plate 71 g, 71 h are provided
with complementary mounting locks 714g, 714h and 715g, 715h extending over the whole
insulation plate length and having a form of profiled projections and cutouts of corresponding
cross-sections. The mounting locks are matched with each other geometrically so that
after juxtapositioning together the adjoining insulation plates 71 g, 71 h the mounting
locks provide appropriate contacting therebetween.
[0063] In an elevation system 6g depicted in Fig. 20 the bottom mounting lock 715g of the
top insulation plate 71 g constitutes a broken surface being a combination of several
surfaces 7151g-7153g and comprises a projection 7154g the bottom surface 7153g of
which neighbours the outer side 712g of the plate 71 g and is slanted upward in the
direction of the inner side 711g of the plate 71a at an acute angle amounting in this
embodiment about 30°.
[0064] The top mounting lock 714g, that is complementary with the bottom lock 715g, also
constitutes an appropriate broken surface in a form of a combination of a several
surfaces 7141g-7143g, wherein the surface 7143g (corresponding to the bottom surface
7153g of the bottom lock 715g) neighbours with the inner side 712g of the plate 71a
and is slanted upward in the direction of the inner side 711g of the plate 71 g. The
plates 71 g are juxtaposed with a splice.
[0065] The plates 71 h in an elevation system 6h presented in Fig. 21 are juxtaposed with
a tongue-and-groove joint.
[0066] The projection 7154h of the bottom mounting lock 715h of the plate 71 h has the bottom
horizontal surface 7155h of the width amounting several millimeters and the neighboring
bottom surface 7153h slanted upward in the direction of the inner side 711 h of the
plate 71 h. The complementary top mounting lock 714h has the top horizontal surface
7144h corresponding to the surface 7155h and the top surface 7143h slanted upwards
and neighboring the surface 7144h. In the presented embodiment the surfaces 7153h
and 7143h are slightly curved in the direction of the inner side at an acute angle,
preferably amounting from about 30 to about 90°.
[0067] In an elevation system according to the present invention, insulation plates featuring
any arbitrary combination of the above indicated variants of front outer side, back
inner side and optionally mounting lock, may be obviously employed.
