Abstract

Studs and plates used to retain compressible insulating panels against sagging in a hollow wall. Also, bars for securing rigid insulating panels in a wall. All of these elements are made of sheet metal and include struck-out prongs defining a similarly-shaped opening in the sheet metal. These prongs are elongated, with a pointed face end and teeth laterally projecting from one side. The inner end of each prong is integrally retained to the sheet metal and the prong can be bent into an operative position, normal to the sheet metal from an inoperative position nearly parallel to the sheet metal. A stop protrudes from the prong at the bending line to abut the sheet metal and maintain the prong in its operative position. The prong, in its inoperative position, protruding from one side of the sheet metal and offset with respect to the opening in the sheet metal, such as that it can be bent through said opening.

L'invention se rapporte à des éléments d'armature pour mur creux comportant des ancrages de panneaux isolants surtout afin d'empêcher l'affaissement de ces panneaux avec le temps.The invention relates to hollow wall reinforcement elements comprising insulating panel anchors, in particular to prevent the collapse of these panels over time.

ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

Dans le brevet américain 4,761,928 concédé en août 1988, à l'actuel inventeur, l'on a décrit un montant de pour un cadre de mur comprenant plusieurs paires de branches à bords dentés obtenus par estampage de l'âme du montant. Les branches de chaque paire peuvent être pliées transversalement à l'âme en alternance de part et d'autre de celles-ci juste avant l'installation de panneaux de fibre de verre pour ensuite empaler ces panneaux sur les branches de chaque côté du montant afin de prévenir l'affaissement des panneaux. Un premier problème du montant breveté consiste dans le fait qu'un installateur inexpérimenté peut plier toutes les fourches, ou en tout cas les deux fourches d'une ou de plusieurs paires du même côté de l'âme du montant, empêchant par le fait même l'alternance des directions des fourches successives, essentielle au bon ancrage des panneaux isolants de chaque côté du montant. Si l'installateur essaie de corriger une erreur en repliant d'un demi-tour les branches fautives au travers de leurs ouvertures dans l'âme, la zone de retenue de la branche au montant peut céder sous l'effet d'un second pliage. Un autre problème du montant breveté a trait au degré de pliage pour immobiliser la branche à sa position optimum d'ancrage de la laine de verre.In US Patent 4,761,928 granted in August 1988, to the current inventor, there is described a post for a wall frame comprising several pairs of branches with toothed edges obtained by stamping the core of the upright. The branches of each pair can be folded transversely to the core alternately on either side just before the installation of fiberglass panels and then impale these panels on the branches on each side of the amount so prevent collapse of the panels. A first problem of the patented amount consists in the fact that an inexperienced installer can fold all the forks, or at least the two forks of one or more pairs on the same side of the soul of the upright, thereby preventing the alternation of the directions of the successive forks, essential to the good anchoring of the insulating panels on each side of the upright. If the installer tries to correct an error by folding the offending branches half a turn through their openings in the core, the retention zone of the branch to the amount can yield under the effect of a second folding . Another problem of the patented amount relates to the degree of folding to immobilize the branch to its optimum position of anchoring the glass wool.

Dans le brevet précité, aucun moyen ne permet à l'installateur de positionner la branche dans son orientation optimum d'ancrage du panneau isolant.In the aforementioned patent, no means allows the installer to position the branch in its optimum anchoring orientation of the insulation panel.

BUTS DE L'INVENTIONGOALS OF THE INVENTION

Le but principal de l'invention est donc de prévoir un montant de cadre de mur dans lequel chacune des branches peut être pliée uniquement dans un sens, les branches pouvant être pliées en alternance de part et d'autre du montant.The main purpose of the invention is therefore to provide a wall frame amount in which each branch can be folded only in one direction, the branches can be folded alternately on either side of the amount.

Un autre but de l'invention est de prévoir des moyens simples pour arrêter le pliage des branches en une position limite opérante perpendiculaire au montant, qui est la position optimum pour l'empalement et l'ancrage des panneaux isolants.Another object of the invention is to provide simple means for stopping the folding of the branches in an operative limit position perpendicular to the upright, which is the optimum position for the impalement and anchoring of the insulating panels.

Un autre but de l'invention a trait à des plaques et à des poutrelles pour cadres de murs qui sont munis de branches ayant les caractéristiques précitées.Another object of the invention relates to plates and beams for wall frames which are provided with branches having the above characteristics.

SOMMAIRE DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Selon l'invention, l'on prévoit des éléments de cadres de murs creux munis de moyens pour retenir des panneaux isolants compressibles contre l'affaissement à l'intérieur d'un mur. Ces éléments comportent plus particulièrement des montants et des plaques. L'on prévoit aussi des éléments, à savoir des poutrelles, servant à retenir des panneaux isolants rigides en position dans des murs extérieurs. Ces éléments sont faits en tôle et sont munis de branches réalisées par estampage dans une portion plate de la tôle et laissant une ouverture de même forme. Chaque branche est de forme allongée avec un bout libre pointu, des ardillons faisant saillie d'au moins l'un des côtés de la branche et celle-ci ayant un bout intérieur intégral à ladite portion de tôle selon une ligne de pliage transversale à la branche, la branche pouvant être pliée en une position opérante généralement perpendiculaire à ladite portion de tôle et d'un côté de celle-ci à partir d'une position inopérante généralement parallèle à ladite portion de tôle.According to the invention, there are provided hollow wall frame elements provided with means for retaining compressible insulating panels against sagging within a wall. These elements include more particularly amounts and plates. There are also elements, namely beams, for holding rigid insulation panels in position in external walls. These elements are made of sheet metal and are provided with branches made by stamping in a flat portion of the sheet and leaving an opening of the same shape. Each branch is of elongate shape with a sharp open end, barbs projecting from at least one of the sides of the branch and the latter having an integral inner end to said sheet portion along a fold line transverse to the branch, the branch being foldable into an operative position generally perpendicular to said sheet portion and to one side thereof from an inoperative position generally parallel to said sheet portion.

Une première caractéristique de l'invention consiste dans le fait que chaque branche, dans sa position inopérante, fait légèrement saillie de l'une des deux faces opposées de ladite portion de tôle et à une partie qui surplombe le bord de ladite ouverture, de sorte que la branche peut pas être pliée à travers ladite ouverture, car cette partie vient alors buter contre le bord de celle-ci.A first feature of the invention consists in the fact that each branch, in its position inoperative, protrudes slightly from one of the two opposite faces of said sheet portion and to a portion which overhangs the edge of said opening, so that the branch can not be bent through said opening, because this portion then abuts against the edge of it.

Une deuxième caractéristique consiste dans le fait que chaque branche comporte, au voisinage de sa ligne de pliage, une butée faisant saillie de ladite première face et qui s'accote contre ladite portion de tôle dans la position opérante de la branche.A second feature consists in the fact that each branch comprises, in the vicinity of its fold line, an abutment projecting from said first face and which engages against said sheet portion in the operating position of the branch.

Dans un montant de cadre, les branches sont disposées en paires espacées le long du montant et les branches de chaque paire sont proches l'une de l'autre, et dans leur position inopérante, font saillie aux faces opposées de l'âme du montant pour être pliées seulement en sens inverse des deux côtés du montant, afin d'empaler les panneaux isolants à intervalles réguliers le long du montant et de chaque côté de celui-ci.In a frame upright, the branches are arranged in spaced pairs along the upright and the branches of each pair are close to each other, and in their inoperative position, protrude from opposite sides of the upright soul. to be folded only in opposite directions on both sides of the upright, so as to impale the insulating panels at regular intervals along the upright and on each side thereof.

L'invention comporte également des plaques munies des branches précitées et qui peuvent être fixées à des montants de cadres de murs qui sont en bois ou en tôle. Ces plaques peuvent être installées sur des montants déjà en place, ce qui ne nécessite l'enlèvement des panneaux en placoplâtre que d'un seul côté du mur. L'invention consiste aussi à prévoir des branches munies d'ardillons de chaque côté et qui peuvent être utilisés pour empaler le panneau isolant qui lui est présentée de n'importe quel côté du mur.The invention also includes plates provided with the aforementioned branches and which can be attached to wall frame amounts which are wood or sheet metal. These plates can be installed on studs already in place, which requires the removal of plasterboard panels on one side of the wall. The invention also provides for branches provided with barbs on each side and which can be used to impale the insulating panel that is presented to him from any side of the wall.

L'invention comporte également des poutrelles de retenue de panneaux isolants rigides et munies de branches selon l'invention.The invention also comprises rigid insulating panels retaining beams and provided with branches according to the invention.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLÉE DES RÉALISATIONS DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 1 et 2, le mur M comporte un cadre ou armature rigide fait d'éléments en tôle. Ces éléments incluent des montants espacés, indiqués en 22, dont le bout inférieur est inséré dans et fixé à une lambourde 23, qui est fixée au sol S et dont le bout supérieur, non montré, est inséré dans et fixé à une solive de plafond, non montrée. Les montants 22 peuvent être solidifiés par des poutrelles en U 23A, qui passent à travers des ouvertures appropriées de forme carrée d'une série de montants 22. Ces montants sont aussi pourvus de trous circulaires pour le passage de conduits 23B pour fils électriques ou pour la plomberie. Chaque montant 22 a un profil en U qui comprend une âme 22a et deux rebords 22b et 22c. Ces rebords servent à y fixer des panneaux muraux P, en placoplâtre d'un côté ou des deux côtés du mur. Donc, les âmes 22a sont perpendiculaires aux panneaux muraux P. Chaque montant 22 est pourvu d'une série de paires de branches 24 et 26, qui, dans leur position opérante sont pliées à angle droit par rapport à l'âme 22a et de chaque côté de cette âme, et servent à empaler et à retenir des panneaux isolants, flexibles et compressibles, indiqués en 28, plus précisément des nappes en fibres de verre, qui sont installés dans l'espace entre deux montants successifs.As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the wall M comprises a frame or rigid frame made of sheet metal elements. These elements include spaced studs, indicated at 22, whose bottom end is inserted into and attached to a joister 23, which is secured to the ground S and whose upper end, not shown, is inserted into and attached to a ceiling joist. , not shown. The uprights 22 may be solidified by U-shaped beams 23A, which pass through appropriate square-shaped openings of a series of uprights 22. These uprights are also provided with circular holes for the passage of conduits 23B for electrical wires or for plumbing. Each upright 22 has a U-shaped profile which comprises a core 22a and two flanges 22b and 22c. These edges are used to attach wall panels P, plasterboard on one side or both sides of the wall. Thus, the webs 22a are perpendicular to the wall panels P. Each post 22 is provided with a series of pairs of branches 24 and 26, which in their operative position are folded at right angles to the web 22a and each side of this soul, and serve to impale and retain insulating panels, flexible and compressible, indicated at 28, specifically fiberglass sheets, which are installed in the space between two successive amounts.

Chacune des branches 24 et 26, selon les figures 1 à 10, est obtenue par découpage partiel de l'âme 22a du montant 22 au moyen d'une matrice et d'un poincon. Chaque branche à la forme d'un doigt allongé, de forme généralement rectangulaire, avec deux bords longitudinaux libres 32,34, une pointe extérieure libre 36 et un bout intérieur 38 retenu d'une façon intégrale à l'âme 22a. Après le découpage ou l'estampage, la branche 24 ou 26 est en position presque parallèle à l'âme 22a. La branche 24, comme montré à la figure 6, fait saillie de la face intérieure de l'âme 22a, c'est-à-dire de la face qui est exposée entre les pattes ou rebords 22b et 22c, tandis que la branche 26 fait saillie à la face extérieure de l'âme 22a. Chaque branche 24, 26 peut être pliée à partir de sa position inopérante indiquée ci-dessus jusqu'à une position opérante à angle droit par rapport à l'âme 22a, comme montré, par exemple, aux figures 2, 7a et 8. Chaque branche est pivotée jusqu'à sa position opérante selon la ligne de pliage, indiquée en B à la figure 5, qui correspond approximativement aux bouts internes de la découpe qui a formé les bords longitudinaux 32 et 34.Each of the branches 24 and 26, according to FIGS. 1 to 10, is obtained by partial cutting of the core 22a of the amount 22 by means of a matrix and a punch. Each branch has the shape of an elongated finger, of generally rectangular shape, with two free longitudinal edges 32, 34, a free outer point 36 and an inner end 38 integrally retained by the core 22a. After cutting or stamping, the branch 24 or 26 is in a position almost parallel to the core 22a. The branch 24, as shown in Figure 6, projects from the inner face of the core 22a, that is to say the face which is exposed between the tabs or flanges 22b and 22c, while the branch 26 protrudes from the outer face of the soul 22a. Each leg 24, 26 can be bent from its inoperative position indicated above to an operative position at right angles to the core 22a, as shown, for example, in FIGS. 2, 7a and 8. branch is pivoted to its operative position along the fold line, indicated in B in Figure 5, which corresponds approximately to the inner ends of the cutout which formed the longitudinal edges 32 and 34.

Le découpage des branches 24 et 26 résultent dans la formation d'ouvertures 40, de même forme, dans l'âme 22a.Cutting branches 24 and 26 result in the formation of openings 40, of the same shape, in the core 22a.

Le bord longitudinal 32 est droit, tandis que le bord opposé 34 comporte plusieurs ardillons 42. Chaque ardillon définit un bord droit 42a orienté à l'opposé de la pointe 36. Cette pointe favorise l'empalement du panneau isolant 28.The longitudinal edge 32 is straight, while the opposite edge 34 has several barbs 42. Each barb defines a straight edge 42a facing away from the tip 36. This tip promotes the impaction of the insulating panel 28.

Chaque branche 24 et 26 est munie d'une nervure de renfort, longitudinale et centrale 44 qui fait saillie de la branche du côté de la face intérieure de l'âme 22a, tandis que chaque branche 26 est munie d'une nervure analogue 46, qui fait saillie du côté de la face extérieure de l'âme 22a, comme clairement montré à la figure 6.Each branch 24 and 26 is provided with a reinforcing rib, longitudinal and central 44 which protrudes from the branch on the side of the inner face of the core 22a, while each branch 26 is provided with a similar rib 46, which protrudes from the side of the outer face of the core 22a, as clearly shown in Figure 6.

Les bouts intérieurs des nervures 44 et 46 sont au voisinage de la ligne de pliage B, qui est localisée dans une partie plate de l'âme 22a. De l'autre côté de la ligne de pliage B, une bosse 48 ou 49 est formée dans l'âme 22a en alignement avec le bout des nervures 44, 46 respectivement et du même côté que ces nervures par rapport au plan de l'âme 22a. Plus particulièrement, la bosse 48 fait saillie du même côté que la nervure 44, tandis que la bosse 49, associée à la branche 26, fait saillie du même côté que la nervure 46. Donc, en pratique, le poinçon et la matrice utilisés pour découper la branche 24 agissent de facon opposée au poinçon et à la matrice utilisés pour découper la branche 26. Les nervures 44 et 46 agissent en collaboration avec les butées 48 et 49 pour s'accoter l'un contre l'autre dans la position opérante de la branche, c'est-à-dire dans la position dans laquelle la branche est à 90 degrés par rapport à l'âme 22a, comme montré a la figure 7a.The inner ends of the ribs 44 and 46 are in the vicinity of the fold line B, which is located in a flat part of the soul 22a. On the other side of the fold line B, a boss 48 or 49 is formed in the core 22a in alignment with the ends of the ribs 44, 46 respectively and on the same side as these ribs with respect to the plane of the core. 22a. More particularly, the boss 48 protrudes on the same side as the rib 44, while the boss 49, associated with the branch 26, protrudes on the same side as the rib 46. Thus, in practice, the punch and the die used to cutting the branch 24 act opposite to the punch and die used to cut the branch 26. The ribs 44 and 46 act together with the stops 48 and 49 to engage each other in the operative position of the branch, that is to say in the position in which the branch is 90 degrees to the core 22a, as shown in Figure 7a.

Selon une caractéristique principale de l'invention, des moyens sont prévus pour empêcher que la branche 24 ou 26 puisse être pivotée le long de la ligne de pliage B dans une direction qui fasse passer la branche à travers l'ouverture 40 faite dans l'âme 22a. Selon la réalisation montrée à la figure 5, lors de l'estampage, le métal dans la région 38 et de la ligne de pliage B est étiré de façon inégale transversalement à la branche, donc celle-ci, une fois découpée, se déplace longitudinalement et aussi latéralement d'un angle indiqué en alpha, de sorte que le bord de la branche deviennent vis-à-vis et fassent interférence avec les bords correspondants de l'ouverture 40. La disposition des branches 24 et 26 est comme dans le brevet américain précité, à savoir les branches sont disposées en paires espacées le long du montant, les branches de chaque paire sont voisines l'une de l'autre, l'axe longitudinal de chaque branche est incliné dans le même sens par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du montant 22 et également la ligne de pliage B est inclinée par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la branche 24 ou 26, les ardillons 42 des branches sont disposées du même côté de celles-ci.According to a main feature of the invention, means are provided to prevent the leg 24 or 26 from being pivoted along the fold line B in a direction which passes the branch through the opening 40 made in the soul 22a. According to the embodiment shown in Figure 5, during stamping, the metal in the region 38 and the fold line B is stretched unevenly transversely to the branch, so it, once cut, moves longitudinally and also laterally of an angle indicated in alpha, so that the edge of the branch become vis-à-vis and interfere with the corresponding edges of the opening 40. The provision of the branches 24 and 26 is as in the patent aforementioned American, namely the branches are arranged in spaced pairs along the amount, the branches of each pair are close to each other, the longitudinal axis of each branch is inclined in the same direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the upright 22 and also the fold line B is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the branch 24 or 26, the barbs 42 of the branches are arranged on the same side thereof.

Donc, en pliant une branche depuis sa position inopérante jusqu'à sa position limite opérante, cette branche prend un double inclinaison par rapport au montant. Une première inclinaison, comme montré Particulièrement à la figure 8, selon laquelle chaque branche est inclinée vers le rebord 22b dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de l'âme 22a; et une deuxième inclinaison, comme montré a la figure 9, selon laquelle chaque branche, dans son sens transversal, est inclinée par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du montant 22. En pratique, quand on installe les panneaux isolants, plus spécialement les nappes de fibre de verre 28 dans les murs creux, on procède, comme montré aux figures 8 et 9; il faut que les branches 24, 26 soient orientées vers l'installateur, c'est-à-dire vers le côté du mur où le panneau placoplâtre p n'a pas encore été installé, et il faut que le bord des fourches 24, 26, muni des ardillons 42, soit dirigé vers l'installateur, c'est-à-dire vers le côté ouvert du mur, et que ces ardillons soient dirigés vers le haut, comme montré dans la figure 9. C'est ainsi qu'il est facile d'installer le panneau 28 de fibre de verre en poussant le bord latéral du panneau 28 contre les bouts pointus des fourches, selon la flèche F de la figure 8, et d'un mouvement presque simultané en poussant le panneau isolant 28 contre le panneau mural P déjà installé selon la flèche Fa des figures 8 et 9. L'inclinaison des branches vers l'installateur non seulement facilite l'empalement des panneaux 28, mais également permet, une fois que le panneau 28 est en place, aux branches 24 et 26 de percer plusieurs des laminations facilement détachables du panneau 28, ces laminations étant parallèles aux panneaux muraux P. Ainsi, une meilleure retenue de la fibre de verre contre l'affaissement est obtenue. La retenue est encore améliorée, étant donné que la fibre de verre sous son poids tend à glisser vers l'arrière selon la flèche Fa de la figure 9, pour s'appuyer contre le panneau de droite P de la figure 9. De tout ceci, il résulte que, si l'installateur a pris soin d'installer les montants 22 avec les pointes des branches 24 et 26, dans leur position inopérante, dirigées vers le haut, comme montré aux figures 1 et 2, et qu'il a pris soin d'abord d'installer les panneaux de placoplâtre p contre le rebord 22c des montants 22, à l'opposé des ardillons 42, il ne peut plus se tromper pour savoir dans quelle direction plier les branches 24, 26 de chaque paire de branches pour que ces branches soient orientées de la bonne façon, comme indiqué plus haut. Aussi, il obtient la position optimum opérante à angle droit avec l'âme 22a en simplement faisant pivoter les branches jusqu'à ce qu'elles atteignent leur position limite. A ce moment, comme montré à la figure 7a, le bout intérieur de la nervure de renfort 44 ou 46 vient buter contre la bosse 48 ou 49.Therefore, by bending a branch from its inoperative position to its operative limit position, this branch takes a double inclination with respect to the amount. A first inclination, as shown particularly in Figure 8, wherein each branch is inclined to the flange 22b in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the core 22a; and a second inclination, as shown in FIG. 9, according to which each branch, in its transverse direction, is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the upright 22. In practice, when the insulating panels are installed, more particularly the sheets of fiberglass 28 in the hollow walls, proceed as shown in Figures 8 and 9; it is necessary that the branches 24, 26 are oriented towards the installer, that is to say towards the side of the wall where the gypsum board p has not yet been installed, and it is necessary that the edge of the forks 24, 26, provided with the barbs 42, is directed towards the installer, that is to say towards the open side of the wall, and that these barbs are directed upwards, as shown in FIG. it is easy to install the fiberglass panel 28 by pushing the side edge of the panel 28 against the sharp ends of the forks, according to the arrow F of FIG. 8, and with almost simultaneous movement pushing the insulating panel 28 against the wall panel P already installed according to the arrow Fa of Figures 8 and 9. The inclination of the branches to the installer not only facilitates the impalement panels 28, but also allows, once the panel 28 is in place , at the branches 24 and 26 to pierce many of the easily detachable laminations of the panel 2 8, these laminations being parallel to the wall panels P. Thus, a better retention of the glass fiber against sagging is obtained. The restraint is further improved, since the fiberglass under its weight tends to slide backward according to the arrow F in the figure 9, to lean against the right panel P of Figure 9. Of all this, it follows that, if the installer took care to install the uprights 22 with the ends of the branches 24 and 26, in their position inoperative, directed upwards, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and that he took care first to install the gypsum board p against the flange 22c uprights 22, opposite the barbs 42, he can no longer be wrong to know in which direction to bend the branches 24, 26 of each pair of branches so that these branches are oriented in the right way, as indicated above. Also, it obtains the optimum operating position at right angles to the core 22a by simply rotating the branches until they reach their limit position. At this time, as shown in Figure 7a, the inner end of the reinforcing rib 44 or 46 abuts against the boss 48 or 49.

A noter que les butées 44, 48 et 46,49, qui maintiennent les branches à angle droit par rapport à l'âme 22a et, donc, en position horizontale, font que ces branches ne peuvent pas s'incliner vers le bas avec le temps sous le poids des nappes de fibre de verre 28.Note that the stops 44, 48 and 46,49, which maintain the branches at right angles to the core 22a and, therefore, in a horizontal position, that these branches can not tilt downward with the time under the weight of fiberglass sheets 28.

Les figures 11 et 13 montrent une plaque rectangulaire 54, munies de trous 52, pour fixer cette plaque au moyen de clous ou analogues à chacune des deux faces opposées d'un montant en bois D (figure 12) ou à chaque face opposée de l'âme 22a d'un montant métallique 22 lorsque ce montant est fait en une tôle plus épaisse que la normale et qui ne permet pas le pliage sans outil des branches dans l'âme de cette tôle. La plaque 54 est munie de deux paires de branches 24', 26'. Les branches 24' et 26' de chaque paire sont au même niveau et sont divergentes en direction de leurs bouts pointus. C'est seulement leurs bords longitudinaux intérieurs qui sont munis d'ardillons 42', semblables aux ardillons 42, et qui se font face les uns aux autres dans leur position inopérante. Chaque branche 26' est munie d'une nervure 46', dont le bout intérieur est au voisinage de la ligne de pliage B tandis que de l'autre côté de la ligne de pliage, un bossage 38' servant de butée, est commun aux deux branches 24', 26'. Dans leur position inopérante, toutes les branches 24', 26' font légèrement saillie de la face extérieure de la plaque 54. De même, les bossages 38' et les nervures 46' font saillie de la face extérieure de la plaque 54. Il suffit de poser la plaque contre les faces opposées du montant D avec les bouts pointus des branches 26' pointant vers le haut et que les plaques soient appliquées avec les branches 26' à l'extérieur du montant. L'on choisit ensuite de déplier celle des branches 24' et 26' de chaque paire dont les ardillons 42' vont être orientés vers l'installateur et inclinés vers le haut dans la même direction, comme il a été écrit en rapport avec les figures 8 et 9. L'on ne peut plier les branches que dans la direction extérieure à la plaque, étant donné que les branches sont déportées latéralement et aussi longitudinalement par rapport aux trous 40' formés dans la plaque par l'estampage des branches. Ici encore, les branches sont maintenues positivement dans leur position opérante à angle droit par rapport à la plaque 54.FIGS. 11 and 13 show a rectangular plate 54, provided with holes 52, for fastening this plate by means of nails or the like to each of the two opposite faces of a wooden post D (FIG. 12) or to each opposite face of the 22a soul of a metal upright 22 when the amount is made of a sheet thicker than normal and does not allow the tool-free folding of the branches in the core of the sheet. The plate 54 is provided with two pairs of branches 24 ', 26'. The branches 24 'and 26' of each pair are at the same level and are diverging towards their pointed ends. It is only their inner longitudinal edges which are provided with barbs 42 ', similar to the barbs 42, and which face each other in their inoperative position. Each branch 26 'is provided with a rib 46 ', whose inner end is in the vicinity of the fold line B while on the other side of the fold line, a boss 38' serving as a stop, is common to the two branches 24 ', 26. In their inoperative position, all the branches 24 ', 26' protrude slightly from the outer face of the plate 54. Likewise, the bosses 38 'and the ribs 46' project from the outside face of the plate 54. to place the plate against the opposite faces of the upright D with the pointed ends of the branches 26 'pointing upwards and that the plates are applied with the branches 26' outside the upright. Then we choose to unfold that of the branches 24 'and 26' of each pair whose barbs 42 'are going to be oriented towards the installer and inclined upwards in the same direction, as has been written in connection with the figures 8 and 9. The branches can only be bent in the outer direction to the plate, since the branches are offset laterally and also longitudinally with respect to the holes 40 'formed in the plate by the stamping of the branches. Here again, the branches are positively maintained in their operative position at right angles to the plate 54.

Les figures 14 à 19 montrent une plaque 54' qui s'installe de la même manière que la plaque 54, soit sur les faces opposées d'un montant en bois D, soit sur les faces opposées de l'âme d'un montant conventionnel en tôle. La plaque 54' a des trous 52 pour la fixation. Les branches 26' de chaque paire sont remplacées par une branche unique 56, dont chacun des deux bords longitudinaux est muni d'une série d'ardillons 58a, 58b et qui est également muni d'une nervure de renfort centrale et longitudinale, indiquée en 59, dont le bout interne est au voisinage de la ligne de pliage B'. La tôle de la plaque 54' forme un bossage 38" de l'autre côté de la ligne de pliage. La largeur de la branche 56 décroît dans la direction de la ligne de pliage B', excepté le bout pointu de la branche 56. Ce bout pointu est muni d'une extension faisant renflement, indiqué en 60, qui chevauche d'une valeur OS le bord correspondant de l'ouverture 40", qui a résulté du découpage de la branche 56.FIGS. 14 to 19 show a plate 54 'which is installed in the same manner as the plate 54, either on the opposite sides of a wooden post D, or on opposite sides of the core of a conventional post in jail. Plate 54 'has holes 52 for attachment. The branches 26 'of each pair are replaced by a single branch 56, each of whose two longitudinal edges is provided with a series of barbs 58a, 58b and which is also provided with a central and longitudinal reinforcing rib, indicated in FIG. 59, whose inner end is in the vicinity of the fold line B '. The sheet of plate 54 'forms a boss 38 "on the other side of the fold line The width of branch 56 decreases in the direction of fold line B', except for the end pointed end of the branch 56. This pointed end is provided with a bulging extension, indicated at 60, which overlaps by an OS value the corresponding edge of the opening 40 ", which resulted from the cutting of the branch 56.

L'extension 60 empêche donc la branche d'être pivotée à travers l'ouverture 40". Les bords latéraux de la branche ainsi que les ardillons 58a et 58b, sont divergents et inclinés par rapport à la plaque 54'. Dans la position inopérante de la branche 56, les ardillons se prolongent à travers l'ouverture 40", comme montré a la figure 15. Dans sa position opérante, montrée aux figures 16 et 17, la branche 56 est maintenue dans sa position horizontale à angle droit par rapport à la plaque 54' par le bossage 38" et le bout interne de la nervure 59. Comme pour la plaque 54, il n'est pas nécessaire de choisir lequel des panneaux de placoplâtre P il faut installer en dernier car il y a toujours une série d'ardillons qui font face à l'installateur, comme dans le cas de la figure 8. De plus, les ardillons sont inclinés vers le haut en direction de l'installateur, comme dans la figure 8, et aussi la décroissance de la largeur de la branche fait que les ardillons sont inclinés vers l'installateur dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de la plaque 54' tout comme les ardillons des branches 24, 26 dans la figure 8.The extension 60 thus prevents the branch from being pivoted through the opening 40 ".The lateral edges of the branch and the barbs 58a and 58b are diverging and inclined with respect to the plate 54 'In the inoperative position of the branch 56, the barbs extend through the opening 40 ", as shown in FIG. 15. In its operative position, shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the branch 56 is held in its horizontal position at right angles to to the plate 54 'by the boss 38 "and the inner end of the rib 59. As for the plate 54, it is not necessary to choose which of the plasterboard panels P must be installed last because there is always a series of barbs that face the installer, as in Figure 8. In addition, the barbs are angled upward towards the installer, as in Figure 8, and also the decrease of the width of the branch makes the barbs inclined to the installer in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the plate 54 'as the barbs of the branches 24, 26 in Figure 8.

Les branches 56 se plient toutes du même côté pour faire saillie de la face extérieure de la plaque 54' dans leur position opérante.The branches 56 fold all on the same side to protrude from the outer face of the plate 54 'in their operative position.

Le même type de branches se retrouve dans les figures 20 et 21. Ces branches sont indiquées en 56' et sont découpées dans un montant 22', analogue au montant 22 des figures 1 à 11. Dans ce cas-ci, tout comme dans la première réalisation, les branches 54' sont disposées en paires avec les branches de la même paire au voisinage l'une de l'autre, et les branches de la même paire peuvent pivoter seulement en directions oposées, (la figure 21) et sont maintenues à angle droit par rapport à l'âme du montant au moyen des nervures de renfort des branches ainsi que des bossages 38", tout comme dans la plaque de la figure 14. Les branches 56' sont également pourvues d'extensions 60' pour empêcher les branches d'être pivotées à travers l'ouverture correspondante faite dans l'âme du montant. Donc, l'installateur va forcément pivoter les branches 56' en alternance de chaque côté de l'âme du montant. Le montant muni de ces branches possède les mêmes avantages que ceux définis en relation avec les branches 56 de la plaque 54' de la figure 14.The same type of branches is found in FIGS. 20 and 21. These branches are indicated at 56 'and are cut in a post 22', similar to the post 22 of FIGS. 1 to 11. In this case, as in the first embodiment, the branches 54 'are arranged in pairs with the branches of the same pair in the vicinity of one another, and the branches of the same pair can rotate only in oposed directions, (Figure 21) and are maintained angled right with respect to the core of the upright by means of the reinforcement ribs of the branches as well as the bosses 38 ", just as in the plate of FIG. 14. The branches 56 'are also provided with extensions 60' to prevent the branches to be pivoted through the corresponding opening made in the soul of the upright.Thus, the installer will necessarily rotate the branches 56 'alternately on each side of the soul of the upright.The amount provided with these branches has the same advantages as those defined in relation to the branches 56 of the plate 54 'of FIG. 14.

Les figures 22 à 27 montrent un montant métallique 62 pourvu de groupes de deux paires de branches qui sont espacés le long du montant. Les branches de la première paire sont indiquées en 64 et 64a et les branches de la deuxième paire sont indiquées en 66 et 66a. Les branches de chaque paire sont arrangées de manière analogue aux branches 26' de la figure 11. Les branches 64, 64a se plient seulement vers l'intérieur du montant 62 tandis que les branches 66, 66a se plient seulement vers l'extérieur du montant 62. Plus particulièrement, les branches de la même paire sont disposées au même niveau le long du montant 62. Elles sont divergentes vers leurs bouts libres pointus 68 et leurs bouts internes peuvent être pliés selon les lignes respectives de pliage B". Chaque branche de la même paire a une série d'ardillons 70 le long du côté interne, qui font face à l'autre branche de la même paire. Les branches sont décalées latéralement lors de leur découpage, de façon à ce que le bord de l'ouverture 72, qui résulte du découpage de la branche dans l'âme 62a, fasse interférence avec la branche correspondante. En se référant à la figure 22, les branches 66, 64a font saillie dans leur position inopérante de la face extérieure de l'âme 62a, tandis que les branches 64, 64a font saillie de la face intérieure de la même âme 62a. De la même façon, les nervures de renfort 74 des branches 64, 64a sont en retrait de la face extérieure de l'âme 62a, tandis que les nervures de renfort 76 des branches 66, 66a sont en relief. Si l'on veut présenter les panneaux de fibre de verre dans la direction des flèches 78 (figure 23), l'on plie les deux branches superposées 64, 66 dans leur position opérante, de façon à ce que les ardillons 70 faissent face a l'installateur et que les branches soient également inclinées latéralement vers l'installateur, comme dans la figure 8. Si l'on veut installer les panneaux de fibre de verre dans la direction opposée, comme montré par les flèches 80, l'on plie alors la paire de branches 64a et 66a, comme montré à la figure 24.Figures 22 to 27 show a metal upright 62 provided with groups of two pairs of legs which are spaced along the upright. The branches of the first pair are indicated at 64 and 64a and the branches of the second pair are indicated at 66 and 66a. The branches of each pair are arranged similarly to the branches 26 'of FIG. 11. The branches 64, 64a fold only towards the inside of the upright 62 while the branches 66, 66a fold only towards the outside of the upright 62. More particularly, the branches of the same pair are arranged at the same level along the upright 62. They are diverging towards their sharp free ends 68 and their inner ends can be folded along the respective fold lines B ". the same pair has a series of barbs 70 along the inner side, which face the other branch of the same pair.The branches are shifted laterally when they are cut, so that the edge of the opening 72, which results from the cutting of the branch in the core 62a, makes interference with the corresponding branch.By referring to Figure 22, the branches 66, 64a project into their inoperative position of the outer face of the soul 62a, while the branches 64, 64a project from the inner face of the same soul 62a. In the same way, the reinforcing ribs 74 of the branches 64, 64a are set back from the outer face of the core 62a, while the reinforcement ribs 76 of the branches 66, 66a are in relief. If it is desired to present the fiberglass panels in the direction of the arrows 78 (FIG. 23), the two superposed branches 64, 66 are folded into their operative position, so that the barbs 70 are facing towards each other. the installer and that the branches are also inclined laterally towards the installer, as in Figure 8. If one wants to install the fiberglass panels in the opposite direction, as shown by the arrows 80, one folds then the pair of branches 64a and 66a, as shown in Figure 24.

En se référant aux figures 25, 26 et 27, l'on voit que la nervure de renfort 74 ou 76 se prolonge le long de l'axe central de la branche et son bout interne 82 est complètement défoncé pour laisser un trou 84 au niveau de la ligne de pliage B". Ceci constitue une butée pour maintenir la branche en position opérante à 90 degrés par rapport à l'âme 62a, comme montré a la figure 27. Dans ce cas, il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir un bossage sur la partie de l'âme au-delà de la ligne de pliage B".Referring to FIGS. 25, 26 and 27, it can be seen that the reinforcing rib 74 or 76 extends along the central axis of the limb and its inner end 82 is completely broken down to leave a hole 84 at This constitutes an abutment for holding the branch in operative position at 90 degrees with respect to the core 62a, as shown in Fig. 27. In this case, it is not necessary to have a boss on the part of the soul beyond the fold line B ".

Les figures 28 et 29 montrent une plaque 86, qui est semblable à celle de la figure 11 et qui sert au même but. Elle est pourvue à deux niveaux différents de paires de branches 88 qui sont semblables aux branches 26' de la figure 11, à l'exception des moyens de butée pour les maintenir à 90 degrés de la plaque dans leur position opérante, ces moyens étant constitués par des nervures 76a faisant saillie vers l'extérieur de la plaque et dont le bout interne, qui définit un trou 84, vient buter contre la plaque 86 dans la position opérante de la branche à angle droit par rapport à la plaque.Figures 28 and 29 show a plate 86, which is similar to that of Figure 11 and serves the same purpose. It is provided at two different levels of pairs of branches 88 which are similar to the branches 26 'of FIG. 11, with the exception of the stop means for keeping them at 90 degrees from the plate in their operative position, these means consisting of by ribs 76a protruding outwardly of the plate and whose inner end, which defines a hole 84, abuts against the plate 86 in the operative position of the branch at right angles to the plate.

Les figures 30 et 31 montrent une branche 90 munie d'une butée 92 qui se termine au niveau de la ligne de pliage B", comme pour les branches 88 de la figure 28, mais qui est beaucoup plus courte que la nervure de renfort 76a et qui est défoncée aux deux bouts. La butée 92 est utilisée lorsque la tôle est assez épaisse pour ne pas nécessiter de nervures de renfort dans la branche 90. Une telle butée 92 vient s'accoter directement contre la plaque 62a ou 86 dans la position opérante de la branche, comme montré à la figure 31. Une telle branche 90 peut être utilisée non seulement pour les plaques mais également pour les âmes des montants métalliques.Figures 30 and 31 show a branch 90 provided with a stop 92 which terminates at the fold line B ", as for the branches 88 of Figure 28, but which is much shorter than the reinforcing rib 76a and that is bumped at both ends The stop 92 is used when the sheet is thick enough not to require reinforcing ribs in the branch 90. Such a stop 92 comes directly against the plate against the plate 62a or 86 in the operative position of the branch, as shown in Figure 31. A such branch 90 can be used not only for the plates but also for the souls of the metal uprights.

La figure 32 montre une plaque 94 munie de branches 96, disposées en paires divergentes, comme dans la plaque 54 de la figure 11. Cette plaque 94 sert au même but que la plaque 54. Chaque branche est décalée latéralement pour qu'elles soient empêchées de passer à travers l'ouverture 98 dans la plaque. Chaque branche 96 est munie d'une butée 100, identique à la butée 92 de la figure 29. Les branches 96 se plient le long de la ligne de pliage B". La plaque 94 est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle est munie de deux crochets 102 disposés le long de la ligne de centre de la plaque 94. Ces crochets sont repliés vers la face interne de la plaque 94 et sont partiellement découpés dans une ouverture 104, pratiquée dans la plaque lors de l'estampage des crochets 102. Chaque crochet a une patte 106, dont la hauteur est égale à 1.3 fois la distance J entre le bout inférieur libre 108 de la patte 106 et le bord inférieur 110 de l'ouverture 104. Le bord supérieur 112 de l'ouverture 104 est égal à la hauteur de la patte 106, c'est-à-dire à 1.3 fois J.FIG. 32 shows a plate 94 provided with branches 96, arranged in divergent pairs, as in the plate 54 of FIG. 11. This plate 94 serves the same purpose as the plate 54. Each branch is offset laterally so that they are prevented. to pass through the opening 98 in the plate. Each branch 96 is provided with an abutment 100 identical to the abutment 92 of FIG. 29. The branches 96 bend along the fold line B ".The plate 94 is characterized by the fact that it is provided with two hooks 102 arranged along the center line of the plate 94. These hooks are folded towards the inner face of the plate 94 and are partially cut in an opening 104 formed in the plate during the stamping of the hooks 102. Each hook has a tab 106, whose height is equal to 1.3 times the distance J between the free bottom end 108 of the tab 106 and the lower edge 110 of the opening 104. The upper edge 112 of the opening 104 is equal at the height of the tab 106, that is to say 1.3 times J.

Un montant métallique 114, de construction conventionnelle et illustré à la figure 35, est caractérisé par le fait que son âme 116 est munie de paires de trous rectangulaires 118 disposés selon la ligne de centre de l'âme 116 à une distance l'un de l'autre, indiqué par Y, et qui est égale à la distance entre les crochets 102 de la plaque 94. Ces trous 118 sont de forme rectangulaire, et comme montré à la figure 36, leur largeur est à peu près égale à 2.2 fois l'épaisseur T de la plaque 94, tandis que la hauteur des trous 118 est égale à environ 1.2 fois la hauteur totale C du crochet 102.A metal upright 114, of conventional construction and illustrated in FIG. 35, is characterized by the fact that its core 116 is provided with pairs of rectangular holes 118 arranged along the center line of the core 116 at a distance one from the other, indicated by Y, which is equal to the distance between the hooks 102 of the plate 94. These holes 118 are of rectangular shape, and as shown in FIG. 36, their width is approximately equal to 2.2 times the thickness T of the plate 94, while the height of the holes 118 is equal to about 1.2 times the total height C of the hook 102.

Ainsi, comme montré dans les figures 38, 39 et 40, deux plaques 94, munies de leurs crochets 102, peuvent être montées dos à dos de chaque côté de l'âme 116 avec les crochets 102 insérés l'un à côté de l'autre dans l'ouverture 118 et dans l'ouverture 104 de l'autre plaque 94 et s'accrochant dans l'ouverture 118, comme montré aux figures 39 et 40. La hauteur de ces ouvertures est suffisante pour que l'on puisse rentrer tout le crochet avec sa patte dans une position élevée et ensuite laisser descendre la plaque pour que la patte du crochet vienne buter contre la face opposée de l'âme 116 du montant 114.Thus, as shown in FIGS. 38, 39 and 40, two plates 94, provided with their hooks 102, can be mounted back-to-back on each side of the core 116 with the hooks 102 inserted one beside the other in the opening 118 and in the opening 104 of the other plate 94 and clinging in the opening 118, as shown in Figures 39 and 40. The height of these openings is sufficient for one to return the whole hook with its paw in an elevated position and then let down the plate so that the tab of the hook comes abut against the opposite face of the core 116 of the upright 114.

La figure 37 montre un montant conventionnel 119 en tôle et analogue au montant 114, mais dont les ouvertures 118 sont remplacées par des trous conventionnels 120, qui peuvent être faits sur place ou faits à l'usine pour y fixer avec des vis à métal des plaques, telles que les plaques 54 de la figure 11 en positions opposées de chaque côté de l'âme du montant.FIG. 37 shows a conventional upright 119 of sheet metal and the like 114, but the openings 118 of which are replaced by conventional holes 120, which can be made on site or made at the factory to fix them with metal screws. plates, such as the plates 54 of Figure 11 in opposite positions on each side of the upright core.

Les figures 41 à 46 montrent un élément d'armature de mur, indiqué en 122, et qui constitue une poutrelle destinée à être placée horizontalement et de profil en Z, à savoir une tôle pliée pour former une âme centrale 124 et deux rebords 126, 128 à angle droit dirigés en sens opposes. L'âme 124 ainsi que le rebord 126 sont munis, à distances uniformes le long de la poutrelle, de branches 130 et 132 respectivement. Les branches 130, qui sont obtenues par découpage dans le rebord 126, sont très semblables aux branches 24, 26 des figures 1 à 11. Elles n'ont des ardillons 134 que d'un seul côté longitudinal. Les branches 132, qui sont découpées dans l'âme 124, sont semblables aux branches 132, à l'exception qu'elles sont pourvues d'ardillons 136 des deux côtés de la branche. Les branches 130, 132 sont déportées latéralement et longitudinalement lors de l'estampage de façon à interférer avec le pourtour de l'ouverture formée par leur estampage. Donc, les branches 130, 132 ne peuvent être pliées que d'un seul côté de l'âme ou du rebord. Pour ce qui est des branches 132, faites dans l'âme 124, elles ne peuvent être pliées en position opérante que dans la direction opposées à un bossage 138 pratiqué dans l'âme 124 par découpage et qui forme une arête 140 faisant face au rebord 126 munis des branches 130. Chaque branche 130, 132 est munie d'une nervure centrale longitudinale 142, 144, dont le bout interne 146, 148 vient buter contre un bossage 150, 152 dans la position opérante de la branche, de façon à retenir celle-ci dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'âme 124 et au rebord 126 respectivement.FIGS. 41 to 46 show a wall reinforcement element, indicated at 122, which constitutes a beam intended to be placed horizontally and of Z profile, namely a folded sheet to form a central core 124 and two flanges 126, 128 at right angles directed in opposite directions. The core 124 and the flange 126 are provided, at uniform distances along the beam, branches 130 and 132 respectively. The branches 130, which are obtained by cutting in the flange 126, are very similar to the branches 24, 26 of Figures 1 to 11. They have barbs 134 only one longitudinal side. The branches 132, which are cut in the core 124, are similar to the branches 132, except that they are provided with barbs 136 on both sides of the branch. The branches 130, 132 are offset laterally and longitudinally during stamping so as to interfere with the periphery of the opening formed by their stamping. Thus, the branches 130, 132 can only be folded on one side of the web or flange. As for the branches 132, made in the core 124, they can only be folded in the operative position in the opposite direction to a boss 138 made in the core 124 by cutting and which forms a ridge 140 facing the rim 126 provided with branches 130. Each branch 130, 132 is provided with a longitudinal central rib 142, 144, whose inner end 146, 148 abuts against a boss 150, 152 in the operative position of the branch, so as to retain this in a plane perpendicular to the core 124 and the flange 126 respectively.

Les figures 41 et 42 montrent l'utilisation de la poutrelle 122. Elle sert à retenir en place des panneaux isolants rigides, indiqués en 154, qui sont utilisés pour les murs de façade d'un édifice. Ces panneaux rigides sont généralement en mousse de polyuréthane ou en fibres de verre compressés. Des panneaux isolants 28 en fibres de verre non compressées, donc des panneaux flexibles et compressibles sont également montrés à la figure 41; ils sont disposés entre les montants 22. Le côté intérieur du mur de façade seul est complété par les panneaux de placoplâtre P.Figures 41 and 42 show the use of the beam 122. It serves to retain in place rigid insulation panels, indicated 154, which are used for the facade walls of a building. These rigid panels are generally made of polyurethane foam or compressed glass fibers. Insulating panels 28 made of uncompressed glass fibers, and therefore flexible and compressible panels are also shown in FIG. 41; they are arranged between the uprights 22. The interior side of the façade wall alone is completed by the plasterboard panels P.

La figure 41 montre un plancher en béton 156 d'un édifice avec les montants 22 insérés dans une lambourde 23 fixée sur le plancher et dans la poutrelle de plafond 160. Le bord extérieur du plancher de béton 156 ainsi que le côté extérieur du mur creux sont fermés par des panneaux isolants rigides 162, sur lesquels sont fixées les poutrelles horizontales 122. La distance verticale entre les différentes poutrelles 122 est équivalente à la hauteur des panneaux 154, qui sont de dimensions standard. Dans la position de la poutrelle 122, montrée aux figures 41 et à la figure 43-b, le rebord 126, muni des branches 130, est dirigé vers le haut et appliqué directement contre les panneaux 162. Le panneau 154 est posé depuis l'extérieur du mur de façade d'abord en insérant le bord supérieur du panneau 154 entre le rebord 128 et le panneau 162 et en soulevant le panneau selon la flèche 164 pour qu'il soit empalé par les branches 132 à doubles ardillons. Le bord inférieur du panneau est simplement alors poussé contre les branches 130 du rebord 126 selon la flèche 166 et le rebord inférieur du panneau devient accroché non seulement par les ardillons 134 mais également par le bord 140 du bossage 138.Figure 41 shows a concrete floor 156 of a building with posts 22 inserted in a joists 23 fixed to the floor and ceiling truss 160. The outer edge of the concrete floor 156 and the outer side of the hollow wall are closed by rigid insulating panels 162, on which are fixed the horizontal beams 122. The vertical distance between the various beams 122 is equivalent to the height of the panels 154, which are standard dimensions. In the position of the beam 122, shown in Figures 41 and Figure 43-b, the flange 126, provided with the branches 130, is directed upwards and applied directly against the panels 162. The panel 154 is placed from the outside of the front wall first by inserting the upper edge of the panel 154 between the flange 128 and the panel 162 and lifting the panel according to the arrow 164 so that it is impaled by the branches 132 with double barbs. The lower edge of the panel is then simply pushed against the branches 130 of the flange 126 along the arrow 166 and the lower flange of the panel becomes hung not only by the barbs 134 but also by the edge 140 of the boss 138.

Les poutrelles 122 peuvent être installées selon la position montrée à la figure 43-c. Dans cette position, la poutrelle a été tournée à 180 degrés dans les sens des aiguilles d'une montre par rapport à la position de la figure 43-b. Les panneaux 154 s'installent aussi à partir de l'extérieur du mur de façade mais en insérant tout d'abord le bord inférieur du panneau dans la poutrelle sous-jacente selon la flèche 168 pour que ce bord inférieur soit empalé par les branches à doubles ardillons 132 et ensuite le bord supérieur du panneau est poussé contre les branches 130 dans la direction de la flèche 166.The beams 122 may be installed in the position shown in Figure 43-c. In this position, the beam was rotated 180 degrees clockwise from the position of Figure 43-b. The panels 154 are also installed from the outside of the front wall but by first inserting the lower edge of the panel in the underlying beam according to the arrow 168 so that this lower edge is impaled by the branches to double barbs 132 and then the upper edge of the panel is pushed against the branches 130 in the direction of the arrow 166.

Les mêmes poutrelles 122 peuvent être fixées dans l'une ou l'autre des positions des figures 43-a ou 43-d pour installation des panneaux 154 à partir de l'intérieur de l'édifice, selon les flèches 170. Dans la position de la figure 43-a, l'on commence par empaler le bord inférieur du panneau 154 selon la flèche 168, tandis que dans la position 43-d, l'on commence par empaler le bord supérieur du panneau selon la flèche 164.The same beams 122 may be fixed in one or the other of the positions of FIGS. 43-a or 43-d for installation of the panels 154 from inside the building, according to the arrows 170. In the position FIG. 43-a begins by impregnating the lower edge of the panel 154 according to the arrow 168, while in the position 43-d, the impediment is first impinged on the upper edge of the panel according to the arrow 164.
