DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The object of the present invention is a device relating to building frameworks which comprise a foundation, supported by the foundation, a number of vertical uprights in the longitudinal direction divided in elements joined to the end of each other to form the respective complete upright, a number of substantially horizontal beams provided for the support of such area covering elements as floor structure elements at least partly positioned above each other to form several stories of the building, which beams are provided with their ends to be supported by the upright elements where they are joined together along the respective upright, and coupling means in the points where the upright elements are joined together and including elements for attaching of the ends of the respective upright elements to each other and elements for supporting of the beam or beams connecting to the coupling means.
PRIOR ART
Different kinds of extents of prefabrication find an application in connection with house construction work. By means of such prefabrication, part of the work for the construction of the building instead of being carried out at the site where the building will be erected can be assigned to the site of prefabrication, by way of example a factory. By such an arrangement the time of erection of the building can be shortened, and a more accurate workmanship, lower costs and/or a freer choice of material can be achieved. The above represents a few examples only of the benefits and changed conditions, which can be obtained by prefabrication and different forms and extents of prefabrication can be chosen according to the benefits and changes pursued. An advantage which is desirable to reach in most cases is the possibility to use the prefabricated parts in as many combinations as possible at different parts of the building and to the greatest extent independent of variations in layout and size of the building. It is also usually of advantage if the elements and units can satisfy several functions at the same time, which means a saving in the manufacturing cost.
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
The object of the present invention is to provide a device for use in building framework, which device makes it possible to use the included units in many different ways and in many different cases of varied applications.
It is another object of the invention to provide a device which can satisfy several functions at the same time, which means a saving in manufacturing cost.
THE SOLUTION
The objects of the invention are obtained by providing the device in such a way that the upper end of the upright element, which is the lower one in the respective joint between two upright elements, is provided in a permanent arrangement with supporting elements for the beams preferably for four beams in right angles to each other and at its end provided with a first part of the element for attaching the ends of the upright elements to each other and provided to cooperate with a second part of said attaching element provided at the lower end of the upright element positioned as an upper element in the joint between the two upright elements.
ADVANTAGES
The aim of the invention is to provide a building framework which can be easily mounted and when so is desired even demounted substantially without use of tools at least no special tools. To a high extent the invention also provides a jointing of the elements to each other without use of separate components. Thus, the jointing of the upright elements, the beams, columns and intermediate beams can be made without any separate components in the form of screws or similar. Thereby it is accomplished that the framework can be erected in a very short time without the risk that any components are missing at the erection work. The larger elements are not so easily missed while smaller components as screws and similar can be lost. The different elements are to a high extent adapted for packing in containers and the uprights are for this purpose not provided with any extending parts along i
