DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention seeks to create a construction set for variably formed construction projects, in particular winter gardens, canopies or porch roofs or window awnings, which has a versatile main profile and simple, easily mounted connecting and covering means, which result in a stable, thermally insulated connection and a clean, tight seal.
According to the invention, this object is attained by the characteristics of the body of claim 1, and embodiment characteristics recited in the dependent claims define advantageous further features of the invention.
The subject of the invention extends not only to the characteristics of the individual claims, but also to their combination.
The construction set according to the invention is an aluminum system for the variable design of construction projects of the most various kind, and by means of this aluminum system an intrinsically stable framework that avoids heat conducting points and is simple to assemble is created, in which ceiling and wall elements, such as glass panes, plastic panels, double-rib panels, sliding elements and the like are securely held and perfectly sealed without using silicon as a sealing means.
Because of the main profiles and the connecting and covering means, this aluminum system also exhibits extremely favorable shedding of rainwater and water from melting snow and ice.
The construction set has an intrinsically thermally insulated basic profile, which can be used for pillars, purlins, lateral roof profiles, attachment profiles, and purlin crossbeam profiles, so that this basic profile has versatile utility, and practically only one profile type is needed for the construction project.
For mounting and supporting the wall and ceiling elements, support and stop profiles are provided that need merely be suspended in grooves of the basic profiles and provide stable load bearing as well as joining without screws.
Long tubular posts are inserted as attachment profiles into the upright basic profiles (pillars) and produce a good connection with the roof region; this connection is also secured by adjustable connecting angles. The connection of the cross beams to the pillars and to the purlins to the crossbeams or to the attachment profiles is effected by insertable and suspendable connectors and additional T connectors that produce a precise position on the part of the profiles to be connected.
A gutter of large volume, with a large overflow for water, ice and snow can be attached to the framework, and a column-like water pillar located on the outside receives a large downspout in insulated fashion within itself and is formed of profiles that can be opened up.
The basic profile and the connecting and covering means can be made simply and at favorable cost and for the most part can be formed of extruded profiles, so that in the variable design of the construction projects, waste is avoided as much as possible.
In the drawings, an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown, which is described in further detail below.
FIG. 1 is a schematic, perspective view of a construction project framework made up of profiles;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the framework in the roof region, with the connecting intersection points A-E of profiles as in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross section through a basic profile;
FIG. 4 is a cross section through a support profile;
FIGS. 5 and 5a are cross sections through two versions of stop profiles.
FIG. 6 is a cross section through a covering profile;
FIG. 7 is a cross section through an insulating angle;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the connecting point between the vertical basic profile, forming a pillar, and the inclined basic profile representing a purlin, by means of connecting angles, and having a horizontal basic profile representing a by means of a crossbeam connecting profile and t of point A in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the connection between a basic profile representing a crossbeam and a purlin, by means of a purlin shoe connector;
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the tubular pillar;
