Abstract
Wooden framework building system consisting of semi-finished industrial product formed of glued boards. The construction according to the invention is made from only two bearing elements forming sill (1), purlin (2), ledge (4) and post (3). The cross-sections of the two bearing elements have each one side of the same size. The sizes for each particular case are determined by the requirements of the projects and plans, the statistical and physical aspects of the construction. To provide for an accurate, undismountable and resistant connection of the construction elements two dowels (9) are used per assembly. The lengths of the construction elements are determined from the module selected for the horizontal, respectively vertical elements.

Wooden wall frame system of framework construction for a building, said wall frame consisting of top and bottom stringers, vertical frame components fitted between them and frame components designed especially for openings, in which the frame components of the wall frame arc joined to each other via splayed notch joints and in which each frame component is provided with markings to facilitate installation,
- wherein an identifying code is defined for each frame component, said code identifying the frame component in accordance with the construction plan and comprising at least the location of the frame component in the building, and that
- the identifying code is printed on the surface of the frame component, and
- the notch joint consists of a splayed (SPN) notch (N) tapering toward its bottom and having a depth of 1-10 mm, and a main piece (U) fitted into it, said main piece tapering towards the end and having edges (SPU) that substantially correspond to the shape of the edges of the notch.
Apparatus for the fabrication of a frame component for a wooden wall frame of framework construction consisting of top and bottom stringers, vertical frame components fitted between them and frame components designed especially for openings, in which the frame components of the wall frame are joined to each other via notch joints and in which each frame component is provided with markings to facilitate installation,
- said apparatus comprising a computer system used for the dimensioning of the frame component as well as milling assembly provided with a logic control unit for the machining of the frame component, said logic control unit receiving the data for the machining of the frame component from said computer system,
- in which the milling line comprises a frame, a conveyor for conveying the frame component between different machining stages, and milling and cutting units for the milling and cutting of the frame component,
- wherein the computer determines for each frame component an identifying code identifying the frame component in accordance with the construction plan and comprising at least the type of the frame component,
- that the apparatus comprises a printing unit for printing the identifying code on the surface of the frame component, and
- the milling units produce a notch joint consisting of a splayed (SPN) notch (N) tapering toward its bottom and having a depth of 1-10 mm, and a main piece (U) fitted into it, said main piece tapering toward its end and having edges (SPU) that substantially correspond to the shape of the edges of the notch.
