Abstract
A building accessible to persons, comprising at least one wall element at least substantially made of corrugated material, as well as at least two profiled connecting elements for fitting the wall element therebetween, each connecting element comprising a profile having an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section for receiving edges of the wall element between the legs of the U-shaped cross-section.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A building accessible to persons, characterised by at least one wall element at least substantially made of corrugated material, as well as at least two profiled connecting elements for fitting the wall element therebetween, each connecting element comprising a profile having an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section for receiving edges of the wall element between the legs of the U-shaped cross-section.
2 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein each connecting element comprises two profiles having an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section arranged on either side thereof for fitting two wall elements to each connecting element on either side thereof, wherein edges of one wall element are accommodated between the legs of one the U-shaped cross-section and edges of the upper wall element are accommodated between the legs of the other U-shaped cross-section.
3 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein a seal is provided in the U-shaped cross-section(s).
4 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the legs of each U-shaped cross-section are of mutually different length.
5 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting elements and the wall element/elements are coupled together with a certain bias.
6 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting elements are provided with openings.
7 . A building according to claim 5 , wherein tensioning means are passed through said openings.
8 . A building according to claim 6 , wherein water, gas and/or electricity lines or the like are led through the openings
9 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting elements have a round or an angular cross-section.
10 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting elements are at least substantially made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of metal, wood or plastic material.
11 . A building according to claim 10 , wherein the connecting elements are at least substantially made of steel or aluminium.
12 . A building according to claim 1 wherein the wall element is at least substantially built up of layers, each layer at least substantially being made up of a corrugated sublayer and a flat sublayer arranged on one side thereof, the layers being bonded together by means of an adhesive applied to the corrugations or crests of the corrugated sublayers.
13 . A building according to claim 12 , wherein said wall element forms a transverse segment of a building.
14 . A building according to claim 12 , wherein a corrugated sublayer forms the outer layer of the wall element.
15 . A building according to claim 12 , wherein the layers have at least substantially been selected from at least one material from the group consisting of fibre material, plastic material, rubber, metal, paper/cardboard and wood.
16 . A building according to claim 15 , wherein said fibre material comprises glass fibres, carbon fibres, mineral fibres and/or synthetic fibres.
17 . A building according to claim 15 , wherein the layers of paper/cardboard are impregnated, in particular with a resinous material.
18 . A building according to claim 15 , wherein said layers are at least substantially made of two-ply, three-ply or multiply wood.
19 . A building according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting elements are provided with an inner liner on the side thereof that faces towards the inside of the building.
20 . A building according to claim 19 , wherein said inner liner is at least substantially made up of board material.
21 . A building according to claim 21 , wherein said board material is mounted on inwardly facing edges of the connecting elements.
22 . A method for manufacturing a wall element for use in a building according to claim 12 wherein use is made of a rotatable winding mould, wherein layers of a strip of sheet material is passed over an outside contour of the winding mould while said winding mould being rotated, and wherein each layer is at least substantially made up of a corrugated sublayer and a flat sublayer arranged on one side thereof, which layers are bonded together via an adhesive applied to the crests of the corrugated sublayers.
23 . A method according to claim 22 , wherein said winding mould is rotated about a horizontal shaft.
24 . A method according to claim 23 , wherein said horizontal shaft is driven by a drive unit.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
