Modular panel for transpiring, variable-geometry formwork

Abstract

A modular panel intended for variable-geometry formwork, made up of at least one connecting plate featuring, on its surface, a plurality of engaging teeth and/or recesses and at least one panel body featuring one upper surface and one lower surface both of them delimiting such body, at least one of such connecting plates being suited to be connected on one such upper surface or one such lower surface.

1 . A modular panel for transpiring, variable-geometry heat-insulation formwork, wherein it consists of the following items:
 a. at least one connecting plate featuring, on its surface, a plurality of engaging teeth and/or recesses; and   b. at least one heat-insulation panel body featuring one upper surface and one lower surface both of them delimiting said body, at least one of said connecting plates being separated by said panel body during transport, and being equipped with connecting means suited to engage corresponding connecting means of said heat-insulation panel body to allow the same to be connected on said upper surface or said lower surface of said panel body.   
     
     
         2 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said upper surface and lower surface are joined to each other by means of side walls and said connecting plates are connected with said surfaces of said panel body through elastic interference between some edges of said plates and said walls. 
     
     
         3 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein some surfaces of said plates suited to come into contact with one corresponding said surface are equipped with a plurality of elastic pins suited to fit into corresponding seats arranged on said surfaces and grip, through interference, inside the same due to elastic expansion of said pins. 
     
     
         4 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said plates are connected with said upper surface and lower surface by mere pressure or by gluing, nailing or screwing down. 
     
     
         5 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of transpiration through-channels run through said panel body, from said upper surface to said lower surface, and said connecting plate is equipped with a plurality of transpiration holes the positions thereof correspond to outlets of said channels when said plate is connected with said surfaces. 
     
     
         6 . The panel in accordance with  claim 5 , wherein structural through-bars are fitted inside at least some of said transpiration through-channels of said panel body and of said corresponding transpiration holes of said plates. 
     
     
         7 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said panel body features a plurality of first all-purpose lock-in profiles suited to allow said panel to be connected with any other structural element needed for assembling said modular, transpiring “disposable” formwork. 
     
     
         8 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said first all-purpose lock-in profile features a male or female dovetail shape. 
     
     
         9 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said first all-purpose lock-in profiles are arranged, preferably in a vertical, horizontal direction and also in a reticular fashion, on at least both of the side walls of said body. 
     
     
         10 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein at least one first wall of said body is equipped with a plurality of said first all-purpose lock-in profiles shaped like a male dovetail, whereas one second wall of said body opposite said first wall is equipped with a corresponding plurality of said first all-purpose lock-in profiles shaped like a female dovetail. 
     
     
         11 . The panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said panel body features a plurality of second lock-in profiles, preferably arranged in a vertical direction, suited to allow elements of the IPE or “T” type to be fit in. 
     
     
         12 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said panel body is made of raw brick and/or honeycomb bricks, calcium silicate or concrete wood. 
     
     
         13 . The panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said heat-insulation panel body is made of aluminum and said plate is made of a thermoplastic material and/or a thermoplastic material filled with talc or fibre-glass. 
     
     
         14 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said plate is equipped with a plurality of surface score lines arranged by multiple pitches. 
     
     
         15 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said panel body is suited to be made by applying a hot wire cutting process, the same being associated with specific punches suitable for the purpose, from large-sized parallelepiped blocks. 
     
     
         16 . The heat-insulation panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said panel body is made of polystyrene foam, structural thermoplastic composite materials, clay and naturally dried natural sand, clay and blast furnace-baked sand, clay and sand and perlite or polystyrene beads-perlite with addition of additives such as magnesium-based binders and other composite insulating materials, cellular concrete, calcium silicate, pumice concrete, concrete and volcanic lapilli, concrete wood, concrete and cork grains or glass wool with special thermosetting resins.
