BRIEF SUMMARY
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
The invention of this application is disclosed in corresponding International Application No. PCT/SE81/0027 filed Apr. 27, 1981, the benefit of which is being claimed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a building structure of the type incorporating a framework consisting of vertical posts and base portions and head portions adapted to interconnect and keep the posts together and with separate wall sections fitted in the spaces between posts, base portions and head portions.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Building structures of this type are earlier known in a plurality of different embodiments which are more or less complicated in shape and handling. These older structures are often precisely adapted to a specific building purpose which means that they have almost no flexibility in the choice of building side and design.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has for a purpose to provide a building structure of the type in question, which has a very great flexibility and which is very simple especially to mount and dismount without tools other than a common screw driver and this has been achieved mainly in that each post has an approximately H-shaped cross-section, in which each leg of the H-profile extends obliquely on its outer surface by froming each outer surface inclined obliquely. Each base portion and each head portion at its side turned to the center of the framework in a manner similar to the posts are provided with a groove located between material portions having surfaces inclined obliquely outwards. Flat, smooth wall elements and/or thin-walled panel sections along all edges are provided with flange portions bent in the same direction as the inclined surfaces of the posts, the base portions and the head portions, which flange portions at their outer ends are provided with folded material portions, the smooth wall elements being intended to be mounted with the edge portions engaging in the grooves in the base portions, in the head portions and in the space between the legs, of the the H-profile, whereas the panel sections are intended to be snapped with their flange portion to the inclined surfaces of the framework of the structure, and the folded material portions are adapted to snap into the grooves behind said inclined surfaces in the framework.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will hereinafter be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein;
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a portion of a building structure according to the invention with certain material portions omitted,
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a one-piece post forming part of the building structure according to the invention,
FIG. 3 is a similar view of a post consisting of a number of sheet metal sections,
FIGS. 4-6 are perspective views showing the sheet metal profiles forming parts of the post according to FIG. 3,
FIGS 7 and 8 are a perspective view and a top plan view respectively of a base portion and a head portion forming part of the building structure according to FIG. 1,
FIG. 9 is a schematic view from above of a corner connection incorporating two posts and corner profiles interconnecting said posts, FIGS. 10 and 11 are perspective views showing a corner profile according to FIG. 9,
FIG. 12 is a plan view of a panel section forming part of the structure, FIG. 13 is a schematic view from above of a base portion and a post fitted thereto in its mounting position, FIG. 14 is a view corresponding to FIG. 13, wherein for the sake of clarity the base portion has been omitted and in which a panel section has been mounted, whereas the other section is shown in its mounting stage, FIGS. 15 and 16 are croos-sectional views through the member shown in FIG. 13 taken along lines A--A and B--B, respectively, and FIG. 17 is a schematic view from above of three posts with different combinations of wall sections fitted thereto.
