Title:
RUBBERIZED HOUSE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/097219
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The rubber structured house manufactured in series and according to standards wouldn't be of a high commercial value. Such houses would be suitable for territories subject to floods and earthquakes. The house could be marketed in such territories. With regard to the fact that in the Republic of Croatia there are industrial potentials for the production of rubber and other elements, the inclusion of such production would be welcome.

Claims:
CLAIMS
1. A rubberstructured house constitutes a novelty in the civil engineering. By rubberizing the metal structure, rubber having negative building characteristics, obtains elements making it equal with other building materials. In extreme weather conditions, or earthquakes, it makes it superior to other building materials.
2. Rubber structured house according to claim 1, characterized by the fact, that the combination rubbermetal structure becomes the building element.
3. Rubberstructured house according to claim 2, characterized by the fact, that the heating cooling of rooms constitute novelty in this field of civil engineering.
Description:
RUBBERIZED HOUSE STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FILED OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the field of housing construction. Rubber structured housing construction would be standardized and with serially produced elements.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM Rubber structured house would solve the problems of houses arising from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes.

Owing to its flexibility, the building of such a structure would resist destructive effects of intensive earthquakes and storms.

Impermeability, waterproof quality, and possibility of hermetic closing of a building will provide high security to people in the case of floods or storms.

STATE OF THE ART In general, building materials are solid or they solidify after being mixed with water obtaining thereby solidity, hardness and other characteristics necessary for obtaining bearing capacity and compactness of a building. Building material has to be airy, i. e. the walls must breathe.

That's the reason why rubber hasn't been used so far as a building material. By building the rubber-structured objects, the outer and inner lining of which would be separated by air ducts, rubber as a building material would come in use. Rubber, as a flexible material would have priority over other solid and non-flexible materials, and its superiority would be shown in extreme circumstances, e. g. earthquakes, floods and storms.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The aim of the invention is to provide security to people and their property in the building, in the case of unexpected storms or destructive earthquakes.

The building elements are of the kind that stronger vibrations doesn't cause destruction or falling off of the building material that could cause the death of the dwellers.

In the event of a sudden earthquake, a flood or a storm, the flexible structure would resist, and possible falling off of inner lining would not put to risk the lives of the dwellers.

In the event of flood, the rubber structure is waterproof, and doors and windows prevent water from entering in the building, by their hermetic closure. Where the water level is increased up to the roof of the building, the dwellers are provided with air through air ducts giving them the possibility to survive.

Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of the building floor Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of the building wall Fig. 4 shows a cross-section of a rubber structure Fig. 5 shows a three-dimensional view of the metal structure Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of the metal construction Fig. 7 shows a rubber-structured roof DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING RUBBER STRUCTURE Figure 1 shows a cross-section of a detached family house.

The building lies on foundation (1) and concrete base (2). Rubber-structured (5) outer and partition walls are fixed vertically on the base.

Rubber floor structure (3), connected with outer and partition walls (5) is put on concrete base (2). The ceiling is covered with rubber structure (5) of the same characteristics as the walls.

Floor lining (4) is glued directly on the rubber structure (3). Wall linings (7) are fixed to rubber structure (5), leaving the space of approx. 2-3 cm between the lining and the walls, and creating air ducts (1 l). The ceiling lining (8) is fixed in the same way. Two-layered roof rubber structure (9) leans upon outer and inner walls (5). The roof structure (5) is covered by

lightweight material (asbestos boards, shingle). Air ducts (12) are between the roof (10) and the roof structure (9). The cover for air circulation is put on the roof.

The walls from their outer side are covered with lining (6) made of preferable material, while 2-3 cm wide air ducts (11) are between outer lining (6) and rubber structure (5).

Air ducts (11) and (12) allow the circulation of air between the outer lining (6) and the rubber structure (5) (outer air-ducts) and between the inner lining (7) and the rubber structure (5) (inner air-ducts) through a cover (13).

Air circulation of inner air-ducts is separated from air circulation of the outer air-ducts, so it serves for the ventilation of the rooms.

Cooling and heating systems operate through inner air-ducts (11) in the way that the heating or the cooling of the room is performed by means of radiation of wall and floor linings, allowing the maintenance of a certain temperature. Ceiling ventilators ventilate and maintain the airiness and humidity of the room through air ducts.

Figure 2 shows a cross section of the building floor.

Ribbed rubber structure (14) is to be glued to the concrete base (2). Floor lining (4) of preferred material is glued to the rubber structure.

Figure 3 shows a cross-section of the building wall.

Outer lining (6) separated by air ducts (11) is put on the rubber structure (5), as the bearing structure of the building. Inner lining (7) shall also be separated from the rubber structure by air-ducts.

Figure 4 shows a cross-section of the rubber structure.

Metal L-profiles (16) are connected with a wire net (17), then such metal structure is filled with rubber (15) to form a metal structure sufficiently firm to bear the building. The mounting of standardized elements results in the building with flexible characteristics, including the possibility of hermetic closing of doors and windows.

Figure 5 shows a three-dimensional representation of the metal structure.

Metal L-profiles (16) are connected by welding them to a wire net (17) in intervals of 1-1, 5 m. The height of L-profiles depends on the height of the building.

Figure 6 shows the metal structure including the representation of L-profiles and wire net (17) arrangement.

Figure 7 shows the roof rubber structure.

The roof rubber structure has two layers. Metal L-profiles are interconnected by means of a wire-net (19). The lower layer is separated by metal carriers (20) that are connected by wire- net (19). Metal profiles (21), which after filling of the metal structure with rubber (15) become edges and are used for mounting the roof (asbestos boards, shingle, and the like) are welded to the upper side.

THE WAY OF APPLYING THE INVENTION All the building elements would be manufactured serially and according to the standards, except for the outer lining, which would be made of the existing building material: facing bricks, bricks including plaster, stone and the like. Inner wall and ceiling linings may be made of wood, wooden elements, and plasterboards. The rubber structure would be made serially according to the standards and the size of the building.
