| 1. | A stud (1,2,3) intended for the erection of stud walls and/or floor structures of wood or the like, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that on at least one of its long sides it is formed with at least one longitudinally extending recess (7), which opens outwards, and in that a number of such studs (1,2,3) are interconnectable by means of coupling means (5,10,11) arranged to be anchored in said recesses (7). |
| 2. | A stud as claimed in claim 1, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that the recess (7) extends between the ends of the stud (1,2,3). |
| 3. | A stud as claimed in claim 1 and 2, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that the coupling means for interconn ection of the studs (1,2,3) are designed as anchoring means (5,10,11), which are arranged to be anchored in said recesses (7), said anchoring means (5,10,11) being positioned at the ends of certain studs (1,2,3) and between or at the ends of other studs (3) arranged at an angle to said certain studs (1,2). |
| 4. | A stud as claimed in claim 2, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that the coupling means for interconnection of the studs (1,2,3) are in the form of building panels (5), which are arranged to be inserted in and to be anchored in the recesses (7) in order to form a sealed wall/sealed floor structure, preferably in combination with insulation (4) and/or external boarding. |
| 5. | A stud as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that the coupling means (9) for interconnection of the studs (1,2,3) are in the shape of joining pieces (9), which may be anchored in the recesses (7) at the ends of the studs (1,2,3) positioned in buttended relationship. |
| 6. | A stud as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that guide strips (8) are arranged to be mounted in the recesses to seal between the studs (1,2,3) and a support against which the studs (1,2,3) are mounted in abutting relationship. |
| 7. | A stud as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that reinforcement profile sections (12) are arranged to be anchored in the recesses (7) in order to reinforce the associated stud (1,2,3). |
| 8. | A stud as claimed in claim 7, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that the reinforcement profile sections (12) may be anchored in the recesses (7) by means of flanges (13) formed in the profilesection sides. |
| 9. | A stud as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i s e d in that it comprises at least two spacedapart parallel recesses (7) in the shape of grooves (7) milled at least in each long side. |
A further object of the invention is to provide an easily erected stud wall, which may also be used in environments where strict sound-proof and fire-proof requirements must be met. It is also easy to dismantle in case of selective demolition.
A profiled stud of this kind has a wide range of uses, for instance when a profiled section 12 of sheet metal or the like is to be pressed into milled grooves 7 formed in the stud. This arrangement strengthens this stud in all directions. The stud becomes capable of ab- sorbing higher tensile and compressive forces.
The invention will be described in more detail in the form of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings.
Fig 1 illustrates a stud wall constructed from a stud 1,2,3 having grooves 7 milled therein. These grooves 7 may be used for a variety of purposes, such as to mount a stud 3 between the ground and top plates 1 and 2, respectively. A mounting member 10,11 is used, which is applied on the ends of the stud 3 in the milled grooves 7. They form tenons on the stud 3 that fit the grooves 7 formed in the ground plate 1 and the top plate 2. When these are mounted on the stud 3, the stud 3 may be displaced in the grooves 7 to the desired position and by means of conventional flat-head screws be anchored to the ground and top plates 1 and 2, respectively.
Fig 2 shows in two cross-sectional views a wall comprising a stud 3, a ground plate 1, and a top plate 2,
and illustrates the manner of mounting and fitting the mounting members 10,11 into the milled grooves 7.
Fig 3 shows a mounting member 11 three-dimension- ally, including a spacer preventing the member from being inserted too far. It likewise shows the holes provided to anchor the stud 3, the top plate 1 and the ground plate 2 to one another.
Fig 4 shows a mounting member 10 three-dimension- ally. The mounting of the members 10 is effected at each side diagonally of the stud 3, against the ground plate 1 at the lower end and against the upper plate 2 at the upper end, these being mounted in an identical manner. It is likewise possible to mount two members 10 on the same side of one end of the stud 3.
Fig 5 shows a joining piece 9, drawn three-dimen- sionally. This joining piece is used to join studs 3 together. Four joining pieces 9 are required for each joint, when the stud 3 is in a free upright position, having no support from any other wall. When the stud 3 is supported from another direction, only two joining mem- bers 9 are required.
Fig 6 is a three-dimensional drawing figure illu- strating in cross-section the structure of the wall including sound-absorbing panels 5. Sound insulating material 4 is shown intermediate the panels 5. Sound insulating material may be provided also between panels 5,6 to achieve a higher grade of sound-proofing. In this manner, in the case of this stud 1,2,3, the grooves formed in the stud 3 may be made good use of. It is important to seal between floor, ceiling and against an- other wall, by means of a sealing strip 8. The strip 8 is inserted inside the grooves 7 that are milled in the stud 1,2,3. This embodiment may be used also to construct light-weight floor structures having to meet strict sound-proof requirements.
Fig 7 shows in a three-dimensional view a reinforced profiled stud 3 and its ends. In the milled grooves 7 is
mounted a sheet-metal reinforcement rail 12 or the like.
It is secured in position by means of outwards bent flanges 13 in the side of the profile member, so called "gills".
Fig 8 is a three-dimensional sectionalized view, showing the outwards bent gills 13 formed in the sides of the profile member 12. Both ends are also shown.
