Abstract
The invention relates to a construction module for erecting flat structures, particularly walls, comprising two parallel panel-shaped wall parts and a module core arranged between them. According to the invention, each wall part has a number of room-height solid squared timbers that are set on end. These squared timbers are joined to one another in an at least non-positive manner via a mechanical pinning placed transversal to the longitudinal direction of the squared timbers and extending in the plane of the wall parts, and/or these squared timbers are each pinned in an at least non-positive manner with at least two crossbars, which extend essentially transversal to the longitudinal direction of the squared timbers and which are located in the future module core.
Claims18
A construction module for building a planar structure, said construction module comprising:
- (a) first and second parallel plate-shaped wall sections;
- (b) an intervening module core disposed between the wall sections;
- and
- (c) a plurality of spacing timbers disposed between the wall sections;
- wherein each wall section has a plurality of solid squared timbers set on end and connected to one another by self-tapping screws disposed transversely to a longitudinal direction of the squared timbers and extending in a plane of the respective wall section, so that each wall section forms a panel;
- wherein the plurality of spacing timbers are disposed parallel to one another and mutually offset in the longitudinal direction of the squared timbers;
- wherein a first spacing timber of the plurality of spacing timbers is disposed at a first lateral longitudinal side of the wall sections and projects beyond the first lateral longitudinal side of the wall sections and a second spacing timber of the plurality of spacing timbers is disposed at a second lateral longitudinal side of the wall sections opposite the first lateral longitudinal side and is set back into the module core, so that the construction module can interlock with an adjacent construction module in the manner of a tongue and groove joint;
- and
- wherein said squared timbers have rectangular cross sections with a broad side of the cross section being parallel to the plane of the respective wall section.
