    Description


    [0001] The object of the invention is wall panel with salt lumps especially for recreation accommodation.

    [0002] A salt chamber is known from international application no. W003084453 (PCT/P102/00020), where its floor, walls and ceiling are made from salt bricks with free-form external texture and with thickness that allows laminar flow of the pressed air through the walls. The construction is used to form a therapeutic chamber.

    [0003] A wall segment is known from polish application of the utility model, publication no. 114517, right number 63144. The wall segment is made from building elements of symmetrical hexagonal salt blocks, fastened next to each other to the carrying construction by means of whereby pins, which are submerged in each block a prominent threaded ending part of the pin is fastened by means of a screw cap.

    [0004] A wall is known also from the publication DE 29805998U. It shows a wall that is situated in cavity of building and fixed to its adjacent parts. The wall consists of cross-bars and stringers connected with each other so they form rectangular construction, whereas the cross-bars have longitudinal section with minimum two smooth surfaces and ends of the stringers are ended with profile that has two smooth faces.

    [0005] The construction of wall panels is known from document DE8801075U. It shows wooden wall panels comprising frame members, cross-bars and separators covered with fabric or paper, wherein the ends of cross-bars and separators form strong connection that is reinforced by glue joint.

    [0006] According to the invention, the wall panel consists of the salt wall as claimed in claim 1 and optionally a protective wall. The salt wall consists of two rectangular frame members. The frames have framing members, inside which, are horizontal cross-bars and their ends are fastened in inlets of the vertical side of the framing. Between cross-bars there are separators ended with fixing rods of rectangular section, that are placed in apertures made in cross-bars. The peripheral fixing rods of the separators are fastened in horizontal inlets of the framing side. According to the other solution linkage between the separators and cross-bars, the separator fixing rods are placed in inlets, that are made in the cross-bars. The fixing projections or rods of the separators are fastened to the cross-bars and sides of the framing by means of the pegs. The cross-bars and separators have a comparable shape to letter "T" and its canopy is placed in outer side of the frame. The framing, cross-bars and separators make the trellis construction. Between the cross-bars and separators there are placed symmetrical salt lumps, which are partially translucent. The salt lumps are arranged in vertical columns or arranged alternately.

    [0007] Behind the rear plane of the salt wall there is the protective wall removed from the salt wall and fastened from the top with the strap and at the vertical sides of the framing by the flat jointers. The inner plane of the protective wall is lined with material which has smooth surface and reflects the thermal and solar radiation. In the area between salt wall and protective wall, there are illuminating points, located advantageously in superior and bottom panel part.

    [0008] The wall panel is designed for building of remedial accommodation and recreation. The salt lumps contribute to fabrication of microclimate emitting ions, what makes advantageous conditions along with nice diffuse illumination for refreshment and recreation.

    [0009] The object of the invention is showed in exemplary execution on drawing, on which fig. 1 shows the fragment of the longitudinal panel section, fig. 2 the view from the inner side of the frames, of the knot of connection of the cross-bars with separators, fig. 3 the longitudinal section of the knot of the connection of the fixing rod separators in aperture of the cross-bar, fig. 4 the knot of the connection section of the separator with framing in view from inside of the frames, fig. 5 the longitudinal section of the knot of the separator connection with the cross-bar, and fig. 6 the view of the panel from front, fig. 7. the longitudinal section fragment of bottom salt wall part, and fig.8. the view of the panel from front with blocks arranged alternately.

    [0010] The salt wall constitutes two frames 2 twisted by screw 1 with each other, that consist of framing 3, horizontal cross-bars 4 and vertical separators 5,among which the salt lumps 6 are placed in the form of cuboids. The ends of cross-bars 4 having in cross-section a form approximated for letter "T"are fastened in inlets of vertical side of the framing 3,and the wider part of the cross-bar 4 is placed on external part of the frames 2 The separators 5,having in cross-section a form approximated for cross-bars 4,are ended with fixing rods 7 about rectangular section , which are placed in apertures made in cross-bars 4 and fastened to those cross-bars by pegs 8. The peripheral fixing rods 7 of the separators 5 are fastened in inlets 5a of the framing 3. As the fig. 2, shows the fixing rods 7 of the separators 5 are placed in inlets 5a made in cross-bars 4 and fastened by pegs 8.

    [0011] The salt lumps 6 can be placed in columns as the fig. 6. shows or arranged alternately what is on the fig.8.

    [0012] Behind the rear plane of the salt wall there is the protective wall 9, fastened in span with the strap 10 placed from the top and jointers 11 placed along vertical side of the framing 3. In the area between the salt wall and protective wall 9 there are placed the illuminating points 12, placed at the top and bottom of that area part. The salt lumps 6 are partially translucent, that causes the panel emits diffuse light while the illuminating points 12 are switched off.

    [0013] The inner plane of the protective wall 9 is covered by the material layer with smooth surface that reflects thermal and solar radiation that makes better isolation qualities and improvement of the lighting effect.

    [0014] The superior and bottom side of the framing have recesses 14, that are designed for fastening of the panel in ground or support construction.
