Abstract
The present invention relates to a constructive assembly which allows constructing walls that are not necessarily vertical, allows including ventilated regions, and does not require the use of mortar or adhesives. The resulting construction has a high finish quality and this quality does not depend on the skill of the operator in charge of constructing same. This invention is characterized by the combination of rigid profiles distributed in parallel and blocks configured to be readily inserted between the profiles and attached thereto without requiring additional fixing elements.
Claims18
A constructive assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of guide profiles, each guide profile comprised of a rigid rod extending along a first longitudinal direction;
- a plurality of blocks, wherein each of:
- the blocks have an elongated configuration extending along a second longitudinal direction,
- the blocks comprise a first supporting base and a second supporting base parallel to the first supporting base, wherein both supporting bases are in turn parallel to the second longitudinal direction,
- the blocks comprise at each end according to the second longitudinal direction a cavity located between two fixing flanges, wherein each cavity receives a respective said guide profile of the plurality of guide profiles such that said respective guide profile limits movement thereof according to a direction transverse to the second longitudinal direction and parallel to any of the supporting bases;
- wherein
- the plurality of guide profiles are fixed and distributed such that the guide profiles are parallel to and uniformly spaced from one another;
- the plurality of blocks are distributed such that the blocks are stacked between two of the guide profiles of the plurality of guide profiles, wherein for each respective block of the plurality of blocks the respective guide profile of the plurality of guide profiles is housed at least partially in the cavity of one end of the respective block and another guide profile of the plurality of guide profiles is housed at least partially in the cavity of opposite end of the respective block, and each respective block is secured to the two guide profiles maintaining a sliding attachment according to a respective said longitudinal direction of the respective guide profile;
- wherein the blocks located on either side of one and same guide profile have overlapping fixing flanges, giving rise to gaps in the constructive assembly wherein blocks comprising overlapping fixing flanges are configured such that:
- the blocks located on either side of one and the same guide profile comprise said fixing flanges that have a size such that each fixing flange of a respective said block at one side of the same guide profile reaches a respective said fixing flange of a respective said block of an adjacent stack, that is, the respective block located at the other side of the same guide profile and, lower base of the respective block does not rest on the respective block located immediately therebelow but rather on the fixing flanges of the respective blocks of the adjacent stacks.
