Wall

Abstract

Wall for a building, for instance, for a house or an apartment building and such like, formed by a number of building elements or blocks, which each are provided with at least one opening, passing through the element from the bottom side to the top side of the element. The building elements are stacked one on top of the other, in such a way that the openings of two elements stacked one on top of the other open into each other. Through the openings, a rod or cable is lead with at both ends a connector, by means of which the stacked building elements call be pressed together, characterized in that the rod or cable in an opening is present within a pipe part which is lead through the opening.

I claim:  
     
         1 . Wall for a building, for instance, for a house or an apartment building and such like, formed by a number of building elements or blocks, which each are provided with at least one opening passing through the element from the bottom side to the top side of the element, whereby the building elements are stacked one on top of the other, in such a way that the openings of two stacked elements open into each other, whereby through the openings a rod or cable is lead with at both ends connecting means, by means of which the stacked building elements can be pressed together, characterized in that the rod or cable in an opening is present within a pipe part which is lead through the opening.  
     
     
         2 . Wall according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the length of the pipe part is larger than the height of a building element.  
     
     
         3 . Wall according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the length of the pipe part is the same as a number of times the height of a building element.  
     
     
         4 . Wall according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 , characterized in that each building element is provided with at least two openings, passing from the bottom side to the top side of the element.  
     
     
         5 . Wall according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the building elements are stacked one on top of the other in a staggered manner, such that the two openings in a building element each open into the openings in two building elements above it or underneath it.  
     
     
         6 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that in the wall at a certain level between two layers of building elements a force distribution plate having at least one opening is provided.  
     
     
         7 . Wall according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the opening in the force distribution plate has a diameter which is larger than the diameter of a pipe part.  
     
     
         8 . Wall according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the opening in the force distribution plate has a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of a pipe part and larger than the diameter of a rod or cable.  
     
     
         9 . Wall according to  claim 8 , characterized in that a pipe part with one bottom outer end rests on the upper side of the force distribution plate, while the force distribution plate wholly or partly rests on a further pipe part present underneath it.  
     
     
         10 . Wall according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the force distribution plate partly rests on a pipe part and partly, through a spring means, rests on building element present underneath it.  
     
     
         11 . Wall according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the spring means is formed by a cup spring.  
     
     
         12 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a building element is formed out of concrete with polystyrene or any given other filling means while the side walls are formed out of full concrete.  
     
     
         13 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the upper sides and/or the bottom sides of a building element at the edges are provided with a groove, for instance a trapezoidal groove.  
     
     
         14 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the upper side of a building element at the edges is provided with a groove, while the bottom side is provided with a rib having such a shape that it fits with play in the groove of an adjoining element.  
     
     
         15 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the bottom side of a building element at the edges is provided with a groove, while the upper side is provided with a rib having such a shape that it fits with play in the groove of an adjoining element.  
     
     
         16 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the connecting means of the rod or cable are formed by threaded ends.  
     
     
         17 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at the upper side of the wall and of the rod or cable spring elements such as for instance cup springs are provided.  
     
     
         18 . Wall according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a building element further is provided with an opening passing from the bottom surface to the top surface to provide space in conduits and such like.  
     
     
         19 . Building element suited for use with a wall according to one of the preceding claims.
