Abstract
The present invention describes a connector ( 1 ) with conical or semi-conical section, with snap-type bayonet coupling mechanism that allows an easy fixation and remotion of a building structure. These connectors can present variable geometry and length. A building structure comprising a plurality of such connectors ( 1 ) as well as a process of construction of said building structure is also described here.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . Connector ( 1 ) for building structure, characterized in that it is composed of a bar ( 6 ) folded so as to obtain at least a first projection ( 7 ) and at least a first protrusion ( 9 ) having a lateral section of a conical or semi-conical shape and having a first longitudinal extent being that said connector ( 1 ) comprises a snap-type bayonet coupling element ( 11 ), linked in these structural bracket ( 14 ) are adapted to be cutlery in inclined position ( 2 - 4 ) preferably at 45°, to respond effectively to shear force and point loads.
2 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the bar ( 6 ) is made of steel.
3 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the bar ( 6 ) is made with thermoplastic composite materials having high tensile and torsion strength.
4 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is equipped with at least one seat ( 3 ) or bracket ( 14 ) for housing of at least a reinforcing iron ( 5 ).
5 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 4 , characterized in that comprises more than one reinforcing iron ( 5 ) of different thickness.
6 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 4 , characterized in that said seats or brackets ( 3 , 14 ) are for housing two reinforcing iron ( 5 ).
7 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that said steel or plastic bar ( 6 ) is adapted to be folded so as to obtain at least a second protrusion ( 9 ) having a lateral section of a conical or semi-conical shape and having a second longitudinal extension, said second extension being smaller than said first extension.
8 . Connector ( 1 ) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that snap-type bayonet coupling element ( 11 ) comprises a joint system snap, of at least two elements inserted easily into one another and then blocked until it engages the release tab or in other conformations of the connectors b rotation of a quarter turn.
9 . Connector ( 1 ) according to claims 1 to 8 characterized for being used in building structures as an anti-seismic building structure combining at the same time the thermal resistance, acoustic, or homogeneous in all its partitions, eco-sustainable which allows providing earthquake-resistant foundations with an integral capsule and thermal insulation, monolithic breathable containment walls or bearing walls, acoustic mono-directional and bi-directional roofs and floors with variable geometry; external thermal insulation, composite systems coats, with longitudinal core and acoustic lattice armed concrete structural reinforcement to existing building structures; external thermal insulation system composite coats that are macro- or micro-ventilated, ventilated acoustic roofs in extrados in metal alloys or plastic-composite thermoplastic or polystyrene, and the like, with exclusive breathable characteristics and thermal and acoustic insulation.
10 . Building structure ( 12 ), characterized for being obtained with a plurality of connectors ( 1 ) according to claims 1 to 9 .
11 . Building structure ( 12 ), according to claim 10 , wherein the connectors are arranged in a longitudinal manner.
12 . Building structure ( 12 ), according to claim 10 , wherein the connectors are arranged in a transversal manner.
13 . Building structures ( 12 ), according to claims 11 or 12 wherein the connectors have different folding shape.
14 . Building structure ( 12 ) according to claim 10 , wherein is a decorative cornice insulator, said decorative cornice insulator being preferably of the type with continuous skin and homogeneous.
15 . Building structure ( 12 ) according to claim 10 , wherein is a decorative cornice insulator, said decorative cornice insulator being of the type equipped with special coupling means of connectors in polypropylene which are inserted one into the other bayonet snap firmly and easily to accommodate said open structural seats ( 3 ).
16 . Building structure ( 12 ), according to claim 15 , wherein said seats ( 3 ) are adapted to be laid by a compulsory overlap, with a subsequent seat ( 3 ) which rests from above once positioned the bars ( 5 ) on the steel conical connectors ( 7 , 9 ).
17 . Building structure ( 12 ) according to claim 15 or 16 , characterized in that said seats ( 3 ) are structurally open and produced at an industrial level, said seats ( 3 ) being equipped with a variable bending which also operates as further containment of reinforcement bars ( 5 ) horizontally from above, before putting the same seats ( 3 ) to closure to form a cage of steel reinforced according to structural needs.
18 . Building structure ( 12 ) according to claim 15 or 16 , characterized in that said structural seats ( 3 ) are adapted to be placed in an inclined position, preferably at 45°, to respond to shear forces.
19 . Building structure ( 12 ) according to claim 15 or 16 , characterized in that it is adapted to be subjected to encapsulated decoration and simultaneously, without being propped to support, for each concrete pumping operation.
20 . Building structure, according to claims 10 to 19 wherein is an anti-seismic building structure combining at the same time the thermal resistance, acoustic, or homogeneous in all its partitions, eco-sustainable which allows providing earthquake-resistant foundations with an integral capsule and thermal insulation, monolithic breathable containment walls or bearing walls, acoustic mono-directional and bi-directional roofs and floors with variable geometry; external thermal insulation, composite systems coats, with longitudinal core and acoustic lattice armed concrete structural reinforcement to existing building structures; external thermal insulation system composite coats that are macro- or micro-ventilated, ventilated acoustic roofs in extrados in metal alloys or plastic-composite thermoplastic or polystyrene, and the like, with exclusive breathable characteristics and thermal and acoustic insulation.
