Definitions

  • This invention relates to a construction method. This invention also relates to a pre-fabricated wall assembly.
  • This invention in one aspect resides in a construction method for a wall, the construction method including: - inserting a load bearing stud member through, or pre-locating a load bearing stud member in, a vertical aperture or groove defined in a wall panel; and fixing the stud member relative to a substrate.
  • the stud member engages the substrate in a "snap fit". As such, it will be appreciated that fully inserting a stud member through the aperture or groove of a positioned wall panel will result in the stud member being “automatically” fixed to the substrate. Equally, pre-located stud members will be “automatically” fixed to the substrate when the wall panel is positioned relative to the substrate.
  • the stud member is pre-located in the vertical aperture or groove and the positioning of the wall panel relative to the substrate also causes the fixing of the stud member relative to the substrate.
  • the stud member is fully inserted through the vertical aperture or groove in the wall panel after the wall panel is positioned relative to the substrate and wherein full insertion of the stud member also causes fixing of the stud member relative to the substrate.
  • One embodiment is a hybrid of the above two options in that the stud members for the grooves are pre-located in the grooves at the ends of the wall panel, however the stud member (s) for the aperture (s) are fully inserted into the aperture (s) subsequent to the wall panel being positioned. It is advantageous if the wall panel can be transported and handled on site without the additional weight of at least some of the stud members being pre- located in the wall panel.
  • fixing means adapted to fixedly engage the bottom of the stud member is fixed to the substrate.
  • the fixing means may be discrete, however it is preferred that the fixing means extends continuously along the substrate and constitutes a bottom pla ⁇ e . It is also preferred that the fixing means receives the bottom of the stud member in a resilient snap fit.
  • the fixing means is a U-shaped channel and the distal ends of the flanges of the U-shaped channel are in-turned, and the bottom of the stud member includes outwardly extending barb means adapted to engage the in- turned distal ends of the flanges of the U-shaped channel .
  • the top of the stud member is adapted to fixedly engage a top plate.
  • the top plate extends continuously along the top of the wall. It is also preferred that the top plate receives the top of the stud member in a resilient snap fit.
  • the top plate is a U-shaped channel and the distal ends of the flanges of the U-shaped channel are in-turned, and the top of the stud member includes outwardly extending barb means adapted to engage the in-turned distal ends of the flanges of the U-shaped channel.
  • the stud member is a channel section steel stud.
  • the stud member is adapted to receive a timber stud therein.
  • the timber stud may support a door jamb or window jamb.
  • the timber stud may terminate at a level below the top of the stud member and the timber stud may support a lintel or window frame.
  • the wall panel is a sandwich construction.
  • the centre of the sandwich construction is expanded polystyrene or the like and the aperture or groove is formed in the expanded polystyrene by hot wire cutting or the like.
  • the wall panel includes a horizontal groove in its bottom surface adapted to accommodate the fixing means.
  • the wall panel may also include a groove in its top surface to accomodate the top plate. Alternatively, the top plate may stand proud of the panel.
  • the invention resides in a construction method for a wall, the construction method including: - positioning a wall panel having a vertical groove in each end thereof on a bottom plate, each vertical groove having fixed therein or receiving therein a stud member adapted to fixedly engage the bottom plate.
  • the wall panel also includes a vertical aperture and the method further includes : - inserting a further stud member through the aperture to fixedly engage the bottom plate.
  • the invention resides in a wall panel including :- a vertical aperture and/or groove adapted to receive a stud member, the vertical aperture and/or groove extending from the top to the bottom of the wall panel.
  • the wall panel includes a groove at each end, the grooves each adapted to receive a stud member.
  • the grooves each include a stud member fixed therein.
  • the wall panel further includes an aperture adapted to receive a further stud member.
  • the invention resides in a prefabricated wall assembly including :- a wall panel including an aperture and/or groove adapted to receive a stud member therethrough or therein; fixing means adapted to be fixed to a floor and adapted to fixedly engage the bottom of the stud member; a stud member adapted to be inserted through the aperture and/or groove in the wall panel or pre-located in the aperture and/or groove in the wall panel.

  • FIG 11 there is shown a perspective view of the stud member 12 being non- releasably engaged with the bottom plate 20.
  • the bottom plate is a U-shaped channel with the distal ends of its flanges in-turned to engage wedges disposed on the external surface of the stud member.
  • the stud member is also restrained against rotation about the longitudinal axis of the bottom plate. It will be understood that the stud member can, however, be slid along the length of the bottom plate thereby facilitating positioning of the wall panel .
  • the stud member is encased in the polystyrene core it cannot rotate about a horizontal axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bottom plate.
  • the wall panel is substantially stabilised but can still be slid along the bottom plate.
