Abstract

The present invention describes a modular system for building wooden interior walls (1), derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements that make up the present system. The developed modular system allows the easy assembly of interior walls (1), for the division of spaces or for the creation of double walls inside the original construction. They can be built by inexperienced users with a reduced number of tools. Its dismantling does not damage its elements and allows it to be reused.

Description

Technical domain

[0001] The present invention describes an interior wall construction system.BACKGROUND

[0002] Partition of interior spaces, in architecture, is a matter of necessity as a result of the behaviour of individuals in space. This need involves obtaining privacy, either visually (preventing the view of what occurs in a certain space), or audibly (isolating the noise produced in a room. Moreover, there are additional needs for thermal comfort, not only between interior spaces, but also between the exterior and the interior space.

[0003] Existing solutions consist of fixed conventional construction systems more suited to domestic groups (the inhabitants of a house, related or not by blood ties) that do not change over time, or to work situations whose tasks do not evolve over the years.

[0004] However, in recent years we have seen the following: the traditional family (parents and children) are not the only type of occupants in a house. The family can expand, adding a generation and more inhabitants (with different needs in terms of privacy) or there can be cohabitation between people among unknown people who share the space for economic reasons. There may also be a need for a space intended for work, made possible by new technologies.

[0005] These changes in domestic groups require house enlargement (if possible), moving to a new house, or renovation works to reconfigure the internal distribution thereof, which results in demolition and reconstruction. All solutions incur costs and the impossibility of using spaces (even those adjacent during execution).

[0006] We are referring to more common masonry situations, where the brick is laid with mortar, which is a solution that is difficult to remove, but also gypsum plasterboard walls applied on light metal profiles. Despite their lightness and speed of execution (compared to masonry), they are only temporary if their demolition and new construction are carried out, as in the previous solution (albeit in a more facilitated way).

[0007] Modular solutions intended for quick partitioning construction can only be found for offices and commercial spaces, whose requirements are different from those of a domestic space: they generally do not completely isolate spaces visually, acoustically and thermally, or constitute a mere physical delimitation of workspaces, also due to the technical impossibility of the system used, incapable of adapting to pre-existing spaces with specific measures. Its lack of versatility does not allow it to adapt to pre-existing spaces, of varying dimensions in terms of width, length or height, nor the reuse of its elements. There are solutions that adapt to different ceiling heights, wherein a second panel slides over the first, a changeable and removable situation that, however, does not have the purpose, quality, privacy levels or appearance to be destined for a domestic space (it has not been designed thereto).Summary

[0022] The present invention describes an interior wall construction system.

[0023] The present invention aims to solve the problem identified in the state of the art, particularly: allowing the partition of spaces according to the requirement of domestic spaces, in terms of visual, sound and thermal privacy; enabling the use of modular elements adaptable to different dimensions and pre-existing situations; allowing the construction thereof by people with no training in construction and only equipped with basic tools; allowing disassembly as easy as its construction, with minimal waste; reusing almost all of its elements in the construction of new walls; further reducing the ecological footprint through the reuse of materials, such as, for example, wood, derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements making up the present system; making use of the residues resulting from the machining of the raw material in the production of the elements of the construction system; and allowing an aesthetic solution with quality to be used in a domestic environment, and contributing to its perception as such.

[0024] The disclosed system then relates to non-structural prefabricated space dividing elements used to partition interior areas or reinforce the acoustic thermal insulation thereof or the entire construction, creating an interior double wall.

[0025] The system allows the easy assembly of interior walls, for the division of spaces or for the creation of double walls inside the original construction. They can be built by inexperienced users with a reduced number of tools. Its dismantling does not damage its elements and allows it to be reused.

[0026] The system is made up of "U" shaped rails that are fixed to the floor, walls and ceilings. A board is vertically inserted into these rails (the height of which can be changed to suit the height of the ceiling) which rests on the lower rail which has an inverted "V" shaped inner profile. Successively, more boards are added, which fit into the previous one through "V" profiles, which guarantees their stability without having to resort to nails, screws or glues.

[0027] The system further includes the possibility of using panels with thermal and acoustic insulation, composed of a structure coated externally with (for example) plywood boards, other wood-derived materials, phenolics, etc. Said thermal and acoustic insulation may comprise the use of shavings resulting from the manufacture of the remaining components of the system. They have predefined and modular measures, adaptable to different heights.

[0028] The system allows the construction of panels or sliding doors, using the same details, or the use of doors with standard measures, for greater versatility.

[0029] In constructive terms, it makes full use of reusable resources for its materials, particularly those made of wood, derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements making up the present system, instead of most of the existing materials for this type of application.

[0030] The assembly and disassembly of the walls are therefore facilitated, thanks to the use of basic tools, which confers a versatility that does not exist in the current construction sector. Additionally, it is a type of construction that is based on fittings that are particularly and specifically designed for that purpose, promoting simplicity and ease of construction with levels of acoustic and thermal comfort similar to those of conventional construction. Its design and functionality allow the walls to be dismantled without damaging their components, which can be reused in the construction of a new wall, elsewhere. The waste resulting from construction and dismantling is practically nil, contrary to current civil construction scenarios.Brief Description of the Figures

[0032] Referring to the figures, some embodiments are now described in more detail, which are not intended, however, to limit the scope of the present application.

[0033] The present application describes a system for building wooden interior walls (1), derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements that make up the present system.

[0034] For the developed system, and in case there is a need to build a wall, it starts with the application of profile A (101), shown in Fig. 1, which is fixed to the wall (10), shown in Fig. 4, with a length 1cm shorter than the right foot of the application compartment. At the lower end of profile A (101) the fitting EA (102) shown in Fig.2 is fitted and screwed. The fitting EA (102) allows the attachment of the lower part of profile A (101) to the floor (12). At the upper end of profile A (101), the fitting EB (103) shown in Fig. 3 is screwed. It should be noted that the existence of skirting boards or crown mouldings in the room where the partition will be installed requires the cutting of their silhouettes on profile A (101) already with the fittings EA (102) and EB (103) applied. Profile A (101) can now be applied to the existing wall (10) through attachments (102, 103) adapted thereto. The number of attachments (102, 103) depends on the existing wall and the height of the compartment. Once the necessary holes have been made, in profile A (101) and in the wall (10), profile A (101) is laid down on the floor (12) at the end with fitting EA (102) and screwed to the wall.APPLICATION SOLUTION 1: BETWEEN EXISTING WALLS

[0035] For the case of application of the interior wall construction system between two existing walls (10), the next step is based on the application of profile J (104), illustrated in Fig. 5, on the wall (10) opposite the application of profile A (101) as illustrated in Fig. 6. In this step, the height of profile J (104) is defined in the same way as applied to profile A (101). Fittings EA (102) and EB (103) are applied to profile J (104) as previously illustrated in Figures 2 to 4. Profile J (104) is then fixed to the opposite wall (10), and positionally aligned in terms of height with profile A (101) already applied to the original wall (10). Briefly, the process for attaching profile J (104) is identical to profile A (101), but this time, on the wall (10) opposite the original wall.

[0036] Once the construction of the wall of the developed system is finished, pieces of flexible foam or elastomer, or other material technically suitable for the purpose, can be casually applied within profile A (101) and profile J (104), preferably with an approximate thickness of 20mm, and that it is intended to accommodate natural expansions arising from thermal oscillations of the material used or others. Additionally, and between profile A (101) and profile J (104), both applied vertically, a profile A (101) is now applied to the ceiling (11) of the room in question to be created, with horizontal positioning as illustrated in Fig. 9, and, additionally, a profile B (105) on the floor (12) of the room, also with horizontal positioning and alignment as illustrated in Fig. 10. Its measurement will be that of the wall of the system to be created, deducted from the measurement of profile A (101) and profile J (104) applied. The horizontal profiles (101, 105) to be applied in the interior wall construction system, use fitting EB (103) as a reference for their location, i.e., A profile A (101) on the ceiling (11) and fitting EA (102), i.e., profile B (105), on the floor (12), whose projections are housed in the grooves at the bottom of the profiles thereof as illustrated in Fig. 12. To complete the partition section to be built, boards T (106) will be applied in a preferred way in a vertical orientation / positioning. The boards T (106), in their length, may have one or more variable measures, depending on the need for the application, and in width, they must have a fixed measure. In one of the preferred embodiments, there are two types of boards with different lengths, the board TA (1061) and the board TB (1062). The board TA (1061) may comprise a length of 150 mm and the board TB (1062) may comprise a length of 70 mm for additional wall length differences. The previously described lengths are merely indicative, and should not be limiting, and may vary depending on the final application of the system. When applied together, the board TA (1061) and the board TB (1062) guarantee the adaptability of the system to any wall size to be built. The boards T (106) have a "V"-shaped end on the bottom face and on one side, and an end with an inverted "V" profile on the opposite face and on the top, as illustrated in Fig. 13. The inverted "V" at the top allows overlapping boards T for greater wall heights (10). However, height adjustment will always be carried out from the top down, in order to preserve the lower profile. The height of the board T (106) is defined, e.g. by deducting 95 millimetres from the compartment height, being cut (if necessary). Board T (106) is then applied by first inserting its upper face into the inner groove of profile A (101) fixed to the ceiling (11). It should rest against the inside face of this groove. As illustrated in Fig. 14, this allows the lower face of the board T (106), with a "V" section, to pass over the side of Profile B (105) up to its inner groove, which has the inner face with an inverted "V" shape. Once the board (106) is directly over the groove, it is lowered, which will fit inside profile B (105). Then, and supported by the illustrations in Fig. 15 and following, the board T (106) is moved horizontally until it is inserted in profile A (101) attached to the wall (10). The process is repeated ensuring the orientation of the same boards T (106) in relation to the previous face. The new boards T (106) will successively fit through their "V" profiles, until the last one completes the construction of the new dividing wall. To adjust measurements, and to avoid gaps, the size of the accommodation flexible foam or elastomer can also be varied, as long as it remains hidden inside the inner groove of profiles A (101) and J (104). Finally, profile K (107) is applied over profile J (104), Fig. 18 and 19, fixing the entire system and preventing it from being dismantled. The number of attachments depends on the existing wall and the height of the compartment, so the profiles do not have pre-drilled holes. In one of the embodiments, and in cases where the built wall has a greater length, and therefore greater longitudinal instability, i.e., with a greater distance between the application of profile A (101) and profile J (104), in order to add greater stability to the system, it is recommended to use profile L (108), Fig. 20, arranged vertically between boards T (106), at regular intervals. To proceed with the dismantling of the built wall, it is essential to carry out the process in reverse of the previously described one.

[0037] In one embodiment, there is the possibility of applying panels P (109) consisting of an external coating structure, comprised, for example, of plywood boards, or other derivatives of wood, phenolics, etc. Inside panels P (109) thermal and / or acoustic insulation (1091) is applied, which may result from shavings resulting from the manufacture of the remaining components of the system. To enable the adjustment of measurements, there is a panel PB (1093), with ¾ of the width of the panel PA (1092), and a panel PC (1094) with ½ of the width of the panel PA (1092). In figure 22, several views of the PA (1092), PB (1093) and PC (1094) panels are shown, in particular exterior views, in vertical and cross section.

[0038] In one of the embodiments, the profile of panels P (109) reproduces the profile of the boards T (106), so as to make use of the same profiles previously described, and which therefore also serve as a support structure for said panels.

[0039] In one of the possible embodiments of the present invention, the application of panels P (109) starts, runs and ends in the same way as the process presented for boards T (106). Its upper profile of the panels (109) can be adjusted in relation to the required height, foreseeing the existence of different heights for the panels P (109), each one of them having the possibility of adjustment, preferably in an interval of 100 millimetres, this adjustment to be carried out on the upper profile of the panel (109), solid, and with the width of the profile fittings. As in the case illustrated and represented in the application of boards T (106), as the final finishing of the last panel P (109) with profile A (101), or the junction of profiles J (104) and K (107), a profile O (110) is further used, which has a fitting in the face intended to be lower, as shown in Fig. 23. To adjust the height, the face to be cut is always the upper one (smooth). Moreover, in one embodiment, the boards TA (1061) and the board TB (1062) can be used for additional adjustment of measurements. The use of the boards T (106) together with the panels P (109) makes it possible to use the suggested flexible foam or elastomer solution for a more precise adjustment. However, it is necessary that the boards T (106) are used at the ends of the wall, that is, finishing with the profile A (101) in upright position and the profile J (104) and K (107).APPLICATION SOLUTION 2: WALL WITH OPEN DOOR

[0040] In one of the possible embodiments of the present invention, for the construction of a dividing wall comprising a door at a certain point along its length, the examples of figures 25 onwards are shown. In this case, profiles A (101) can therefore be applied, their length being that of the wall to be made, deducted from profiles A (101) and J (104), previously described. Profile B (105) will consist of two sections, spaced apart by the door and its respective jambs, whose location must be defined in advance. This will have to be defined according to the possibilities allowed by the metric of profiles A (101) and J (105), boards T (106), and panels P. Aligned with profile J (105), the first section of profile B (105) should be arranged on the ground, using the fitting EA (102) as a reference. At the opposite end of profile B (105) fitting EC (111) is arranged, according to the groove of the first one, screwing it to the floor, as shown in Figures 27 and 28. At a distance (D), preferably 805 mm, of this fitting EC (111), and in its alignment, a new EC fitting (111) is applied. Together with the fitting EA (102) in the profile J (105) the location of the second section of profile B (105) is defined. Figures 29 and 30 illustrate the fitting of the second section of profile B (105), on the fitting EC (111) and fitting EA (102) inserted in profile J (104).

[0041] To complete the construction of the dividing wall with a door, a process for applying the boards T (106) identical to that previously described is used, and in this case, the end of the wall will be the door frame. Fig. 31 shows the application of the boards T (106) in the first segment of the wall, up to the place where the door frame will be arranged. Given the prefabrication of the door, with standardized measurements, and the need to ensure the location of the lock and hinges accordingly, the frame (jambs and lintel) is available as a single element. This is made up of three H profiles (112) (jambs and lintel), whose profile contains a stop for the door. The door frame is applied and remains in place thanks to the EC fittings (111) and the last board T (106) that precedes it.

[0042] The boards TA (1061) are applied over the door frame, specially sized to make the door flag as shown in Fig. 33. Its dimension is obtained by deducting, in a preferred embodiment, 2030 millimetres from the height of the previously used Boards T. The arrangement of the boards TA (1061) can be inserted in a "drawer" style, sliding over the door lintel. Since the door frame was designed according to the metric of the boards TA (1061), six boards of this TA typology (1061) are needed to complete the flag as illustrated in figure 33, paying particular attention to their orientation according to "V" side profiles. The construction of the wall continues with the application of the remaining boards T (106). In one embodiment, the application of panels P (109) can be used to the detriment of boards T (106) for the construction of the wall of the system with door, as previously described and illustrated.WALL FINISHING AT A TOP

[0043] The top of the developed wall system is applicable in different situations: when the wall ends alone, without encountering another element (consisting of an isolated partition); when it is intended to perform a corner wall, which consists of two attached tops; when the partition of the space requires the meeting of several walls (with intersections in the shape of a "T" or in the shape of an "X"), and the meeting between the different planes is made as tops against continuous walls; when the application of a sliding door is intended, whose height is similar to that of the compartment and the wall, causing the span to end in isolated tops as if they were isolated partitions;

[0044] To start its construction, the same steps identified in the application of profile A (101) and Fitting EA (102) are followed. The length of the wall is defined, and, in one embodiment, 5mm from its end, the fitting ED (114) is applied. This fitting ED (114) is screwed into the floor, with the wider base facing the end of the wall.

[0045] The fitting EE (115), on the ceiling, is installed in the same way, flush with the fitting ED (114). Their illustrations can be found in Fig. 34. The fitting EE (115) (the axonometric projection is inverted, according to the actual application method - on the ceiling).

[0046] New profiles A (101) can now be applied to the ceiling and profiles B (105) to the floor. The measurement thereof will be that of the distance between the inside face of the fittings EA (102) and profile B (105) and fittings ED (114) and EE (115). Fig. 35 shows an application of profiles A (101) on the ceiling and profiles B (105) on the floor. The application of boards T (106) is identical to the previously identified application processes as suggested in Fig. 36. At the top of the wall, a profile I (116) will be subsequently applied, Fig. 37, vertically, being subsequently screwed to fittings ED (114) and EE (115), as suggested in Fig. 38.WALL WITH CORNER SOLUTION

[0047] In one of the embodiments, the construction of a wall system with a corner consists of abutting two top solutions (previously described) and presupposes the successive construction thereof. That is, a first wall curtain (21) is constructed both for boards T (106) and for panels P (109). In this first wall curtain (21) fittings ED (114) and EE (115) are used, which end the wall inferiorly with a similar recess (5mm) to profiles A (101) and B (105). In the construction of the second wall curtain (22), on top of the side of the first, fittings EA (102) and EB (103) will be used. In these fittings, the lower tab is sensibly 10mm larger than in fittings ED (114) and EE (115), which allows them to bridge the gap allowed by the first fittings. After applying the fittings and respective profiles, the construction of the wall proceeds according to the previously described points, both for the application of boards T (106) and for the application of panels P (109). This solution is briefly illustrated in Fig. 39."T" OR "X" WALL MEETING

[0048] For situations where the wall system meets another wall of the system arranged in length at the top (creating a "T" situation), the top solution against a continuous wall is used. The same occurs on the opposite side in the creation of an apparent intersection of walls (in "X"). In this way, instead of creating specific profiles adapted to these situations, it becomes possible to revert these situations to a single continuous wall, without the need to interfere with the latter. The way in which the top solution is applied varies depending on whether boards T (106) or panels P (109) are used, as a result of the different profile obtained due to the different thickness of the latter. As panel P (109) has the same thickness as the profiles that serve as the rail for its application, the top will rest directly on the continuous wall. Prior to the vertical application of profiles B (105) and A (101), the system resting on fittings ED (114) and EE (115), must be screwed to the wall (10) against which it rests.

[0049] If Boards T (106) are used in the construction of the wall, profiles A (101) and B (105) (lower and upper profiles) and profile I (116) (vertical profile) must be applied differently. In a common top situation, profile I (116) (supported on fittings ED (114) and EE (115) occupies the entire ceiling height. Profiles A (101) and B (105) rest against profile I (116) using fittings ED (114) and EE (115) as a guide. Since boards T (106) do not have the same width as the profiles that support them, when abutting profile I (116) as in the previous situation, a 10mm gap in the space corresponding to board T (106) would be created.

[0050] In this situation, profile I (116) will remain the first to be applied, but on one of the boards T (106) that make up the longitudinal wall. This means that its height (and that of the respective fittings) will no longer be that of the available ceiling height but will correspond to the height of the visible part of the boards T (106) (that is, the ceiling height deducted from the height of profiles A (101) and B (105). Profile I (116) will have to be perfectly vertical to ensure that the wall that will give rise to it does not have any warping. For this purpose, the limit of one of the boards T (106) of the existing wall can be used as a reference to ensure alignment.

[0051] Fig. 40 and 41 show the application of profile I (116) on the existing wall (10) in order to start the wall that will be perpendicular thereto. In order to give more stability to the intersection, profile I (116) to be fixed to the existing wall (10) must match with a profile N (117) on the opposite side of the constructed wall, as shown in Figs. 42 and 43. The fastening elements used will cover both profiles on opposite sides.

[0052] Profile A (101), on the ceiling, and profile B (105), on the floor, can now be applied, using profile I (116) as a reference. The attachment thereof will be adapted to profile I (116). The application of boards T (106) in this new structure proceeds as in the previous examples, with its completion according to the appropriate situation, as shown in Figs. 44 and 45.

[0053] In situations where walls meet in an "X", as suggested in figure 46, wherein the top walls abut the existing wall on exact opposite sides (always carried out with boards T (106)), profile N (117) can be dispensed with, as the second profile I (116) is responsible for the reinforcement previously carried out by profile N (117).SLIDING DOOR OR WALL

[0054] The sliding door will slide parallel to the wall of the installed system, ending in a top, but it can also be applied in a span of an existing wall (10), made of different materials, functioning in a similar way. The developed system foresees the use of rails, carriages and guides available in the market. Its size should be defined according to the available dimensions of the Boards T (106) and panels P (109), with the possibilities of adjustment allowed thereby. Its installation begins with the upper attachment of Profile C (118). The dimension of this corresponds to the length of the span to be hidden by the sliding door. Profile C (118) uses the existing wall (10) in which the span is located as a reference for attachment. Its side flap is arranged against the wall, which guarantees its alignment. In the interval corresponding to the span, profile G (u) is used instead of profile C (118): profile G (119) is narrower than Profile C (118), to guarantee its alignment with the sliding door (to be subsequently mounted) which is preferably 5mm away from the wall, to allow it to work. The alignment of profile C (118) with profile G (119) is achieved using the internal profile of the side flap as a reference, as illustrated in Figs. 50 and 51.

[0055] The rail of the sliding system with the runner (1191) included is attached to profile C (118) in the middle of its inner profile, in order to guarantee the central position of the sliding door to be installed later. Its attachment is done ensuring the crossing of profiles C (118) and G (119) to fix directly on the ceiling (11) as suggested in Fig. 52.

[0056] The sliding door guide is applied to the floor (12), flush / aligned with the upper rail (118, 119), according to its instructions. Next, the sliding door is assembled, which consists of a frame made with the upper profile E (120), with fittings already applied, the lower profile F (121) and the side profiles M (122). The length of profiles E (120) and F (121) is defined by deducting 120 millimetres from the total door measurement, which corresponds to the width of the side profiles M (122). The height of profiles M (122) is defined using the ceiling height of the compartment (or the upper height of the Profile C (118), if it is not attached to the ceiling), from which 75 millimetres are deducted (corresponding to the measurement of Profile C (118) and the gaps necessary for the door to work). On the upper face of profile E (120) the fittings where the runners of the sliding system will be inserted are applied. Profile M (122) has a handle embedded in the profile, preferably 900 millimetres from one of its ends, which corresponds to the conventional height of a handle. This means that the adjustment in height of profile M (122) must be done at the opposite end, so as not to change the height at which the handle will be arranged from the ground.

[0057] The assembly of the door will be carried out lying on the floor or on a flat surface. It starts by screwing two EF fittings (123) to each of the ends of profile F (121). The correct position thereof is achieved by aligning their lower and upper faces with the inside of profile F (121). Figure 55 shows the arrangement of fitting EF (123) on profile F (121), and subsequent screwing.

[0058] Next, two fittings EG (124) are screwed to each of the ends of profile E (120), ensuring their alignment as explained in the previous item. The upper profile E (120) with the respective fitting EG (124) is screwed to one end of the side of profile M (122) as shown in Fig. 57.

[0059] The lower profile F (121), with the respective fitting EF (123), is then screwed onto the other end of the side of profile M (122). A "C"-shaped structure is then obtained, and profile M (122), that closes the frame, will only be applied after the installation of boards T (106) or panels P (109), as suggested in Figs. 58 de 59. The height of the latter should be defined according to the free height inside the structure, and should be cut according to need, preferably with a 5-millimetre gap. In the case of the sliding door, the preferential gap of 20 millimetres is not left between boards T (106) or panels P (109) and profile E (120), given that the former take part in the structural integrity of the door.

[0060] Boards T (106) or panels P (109) are inserted in the frame, through its open face, fitting its lower and upper profiles in profiles E (120) and F (121). After insertion, they are slid along the profiles until they meet profile M (122). The following profiles will be inserted until they reach the desired length.

[0061] The second profile M (122) will then be applied and fixed in the same way as previously described, wherein in the case of boards T (106) being used, a flexible foam or elastomer must be applied as previously described. The structure is thus complete, obtaining a closed and solid panel, constituting the sliding door or wall as shown in Fig. 59. The latter should then be verticalized, with the upper face of profile E (120) oriented upwards. The system's door / wall will then be arranged in its place, relative to the existing wall (10), fitting the lower groove of the profile F (121) in the previously attached floor guide.

[0062] Still in a preferred embodiment, profile A (101) has an "H" shape. Still in a preferred embodiment, the fitting EA (102) and the fitting EB (103) have a parallelepiped shape with several notches that allow its fitting with Profile A (101) and with Profile J (104), which presents an "L" shape. Profile B (105) preferably has an identical A shape (101), but comprises an inner core adapted to receive the profile of boards T (106) with the "V" wedge-shaped shown in Fig. 13. Profile L (108), preferably has a "U" shape comprising at its base an inverted "V" notch to accommodate the "V" profile of the boards T (106). Profile O (110) comprises an octagon-like shape with two additional vertical protrusions aligned with each other, to promote the adapted fit between profile A (101) and the panel (109). Fitting EC (111) has shape similarities with fitting EA (102) and fitting EB (103) but is dimensionally adaptable to the lower section of profile B (105). The same is true for fittings ED (114) and EE (115). Profile I (116) preferably comprises a "U" shape.

[0063] The present description is of course in no way restricted to the embodiments presented herein and a person of ordinary skill in the art may provide many possibilities of modifying it without departing from the general idea as defined in the claims. The preferred embodiments described above are obviously combinable with each other. The following claims further define preferred embodiments.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]Referring to the figures, some embodiments are now described in more detail, which are not intended, however, to limit the scope of the present application.

[0033]The present application describes a system for building wooden interior walls (1), derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements that make up the present system.

[0034]For the developed system, and in case there is a need to build a wall, it starts with the application of profile A (101), shown in Fig. 1, which is fixed to the wall (10), shown in Fig. 4, with a length 1cm shorter than the right foot of the application compartment. At the lower end of profile A (101) the fitting EA (102) shown in Fig.2 is fitted and screwed. The fitting EA (102) allows the attachment of the lower part of profile A (101) to the floor (12).

Technical domain

[0001] The present invention describes an interior wall construction system.BACKGROUND

[0002] Partition of interior spaces, in architecture, is a matter of necessity as a result of the behaviour of individuals in space. This need involves obtaining privacy, either visually (preventing the view of what occurs in a certain space), or audibly (isolating the noise produced in a room. Moreover, there are additional needs for thermal comfort, not only between interior spaces, but also between the exterior and the interior space.

[0003] Existing solutions consist of fixed conventional construction systems more suited to domestic groups (the inhabitants of a house, related or not by blood ties) that do not change over time, or to work situations whose tasks do not evolve over the years.

[0004] However, in recent years we have seen the following: the traditional family (parents and children) are not the only type of occupants in a house. The family can expand, adding a generation and more inhabitants (with different needs in terms of privacy) or there can be cohabitation between people among unknown people who share the space for economic reasons. There may also be a need for a space intended for work, made possible by new technologies.

[0005] These changes in domestic groups require house enlargement (if possible), moving to a new house, or renovation works to reconfigure the internal distribution thereof, which results in demolition and reconstruction. All solutions incur costs and the impossibility of using spaces (even those adjacent during execution).

[0006] We are referring to more common masonry situations, where the brick is laid with mortar, which is a solution that is difficult to remove, but also gypsum plasterboard walls applied on light metal profiles. Despite their lightness and speed of execution (compared to masonry), they are only temporary if their demolition and new construction are carried out, as in the previous solution (albeit in a more facilitated way).

[0007] Modular solutions intended for quick partitioning construction can only be found for offices and commercial spaces, whose requirements are different from those of a domestic space: they generally do not completely isolate spaces visually, acoustically and thermally, or constitute a mere physical delimitation of workspaces, also due to the technical impossibility of the system used, incapable of adapting to pre-existing spaces with specific measures. Its lack of versatility does not allow it to adapt to pre-existing spaces, of varying dimensions in terms of width, length or height, nor the reuse of its elements. There are solutions that adapt to different ceiling heights, wherein a second panel slides over the first, a changeable and removable situation that, however, does not have the purpose, quality, privacy levels or appearance to be destined for a domestic space (it has not been designed thereto).Summary

[0022] The present invention describes an interior wall construction system.

[0023] The present invention aims to solve the problem identified in the state of the art, particularly: allowing the partition of spaces according to the requirement of domestic spaces, in terms of visual, sound and thermal privacy; enabling the use of modular elements adaptable to different dimensions and pre-existing situations; allowing the construction thereof by people with no training in construction and only equipped with basic tools; allowing disassembly as easy as its construction, with minimal waste; reusing almost all of its elements in the construction of new walls; further reducing the ecological footprint through the reuse of materials, such as, for example, wood, derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements making up the present system; making use of the residues resulting from the machining of the raw material in the production of the elements of the construction system; and allowing an aesthetic solution with quality to be used in a domestic environment, and contributing to its perception as such.

[0024] The disclosed system then relates to non-structural prefabricated space dividing elements used to partition interior areas or reinforce the acoustic thermal insulation thereof or the entire construction, creating an interior double wall.

[0025] The system allows the easy assembly of interior walls, for the division of spaces or for the creation of double walls inside the original construction. They can be built by inexperienced users with a reduced number of tools. Its dismantling does not damage its elements and allows it to be reused.

[0026] The system is made up of "U" shaped rails that are fixed to the floor, walls and ceilings. A board is vertically inserted into these rails (the height of which can be changed to suit the height of the ceiling) which rests on the lower rail which has an inverted "V" shaped inner profile. Successively, more boards are added, which fit into the previous one through "V" profiles, which guarantees their stability without having to resort to nails, screws or glues.

[0027] The system further includes the possibility of using panels with thermal and acoustic insulation, composed of a structure coated externally with (for example) plywood boards, other wood-derived materials, phenolics, etc. Said thermal and acoustic insulation may comprise the use of shavings resulting from the manufacture of the remaining components of the system. They have predefined and modular measures, adaptable to different heights.

[0028] The system allows the construction of panels or sliding doors, using the same details, or the use of doors with standard measures, for greater versatility.

[0029] In constructive terms, it makes full use of reusable resources for its materials, particularly those made of wood, derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements making up the present system, instead of most of the existing materials for this type of application.

[0030] The assembly and disassembly of the walls are therefore facilitated, thanks to the use of basic tools, which confers a versatility that does not exist in the current construction sector. Additionally, it is a type of construction that is based on fittings that are particularly and specifically designed for that purpose, promoting simplicity and ease of construction with levels of acoustic and thermal comfort similar to those of conventional construction. Its design and functionality allow the walls to be dismantled without damaging their components, which can be reused in the construction of a new wall, elsewhere. The waste resulting from construction and dismantling is practically nil, contrary to current civil construction scenarios.Brief Description of the Figures

[0032] Referring to the figures, some embodiments are now described in more detail, which are not intended, however, to limit the scope of the present application.

[0033] The present application describes a system for building wooden interior walls (1), derivatives thereof, composites and other materials from which it is possible to obtain the constructive elements that make up the present system.

[0034] For the developed system, and in case there is a need to build a wall, it starts with the application of profile A (101), shown in Fig. 1, which is fixed to the wall (10), shown in Fig. 4, with a length 1cm shorter than the right foot of the application compartment. At the lower end of profile A (101) the fitting EA (102) shown in Fig.2 is fitted and screwed. The fitting EA (102) allows the attachment of the lower part of profile A (101) to the floor (12). At the upper end of profile A (101), the fitting EB (103) shown in Fig. 3 is screwed. It should be noted that the existence of skirting boards or crown mouldings in the room where the partition will be installed requires the cutting of their silhouettes on profile A (101) already with the fittings EA (102) and EB (103) applied. Profile A (101) can now be applied to the existing wall (10) through attachments (102, 103) adapted thereto. The number of attachments (102, 103) depends on the existing wall and the height of the compartment. Once the necessary holes have been made, in profile A (101) and in the wall (10), profile A (101) is laid down on the floor (12) at the end with fitting EA (102) and screwed to the wall.APPLICATION SOLUTION 1: BETWEEN EXISTING WALLS

[0035] For the case of application of the interior wall construction system between two existing walls (10), the next step is based on the application of profile J (104), illustrated in Fig. 5, on the wall (10) opposite the application of profile A (101) as illustrated in Fig. 6. In this step, the height of profile J (104) is defined in the same way as applied to profile A (101). Fittings EA (102) and EB (103) are applied to profile J (104) as previously illustrated in Figures 2 to 4. Profile J (104) is then fixed to the opposite wall (10), and positionally aligned in terms of height with profile A (101) already applied to the original wall (10). Briefly, the process for attaching profile J (104) is identical to profile A (101), but this time, on the wall (10) opposite the original wall.

[0036] Once the construction of the wall of the developed system is finished, pieces of flexible foam or elastomer, or other material technically suitable for the purpose, can be casually applied within profile A (101) and profile J (104), preferably with an approximate thickness of 20mm, and that it is intended to accommodate natural expansions arising from thermal oscillations of the material used or others. Additionally, and between profile A (101) and profile J (104), both applied vertically, a profile A (101) is now applied to the ceiling (11) of the room in question to be created, with horizontal positioning as illustrated in Fig. 9, and, additionally, a profile B (105) on the floor (12) of the room, also with horizontal positioning and alignment as illustrated in Fig. 10. Its measurement will be that of the wall of the system to be created, deducted from the measurement of profile A (101) and profile J (104) applied. The horizontal profiles (101, 105) to be applied in the interior wall construction system, use fitting EB (103) as a reference for their location, i.e., A profile A (101) on the ceiling (11) and fitting EA (102), i.e., profile B (105), on the floor (12), whose projections are housed in the grooves at the bottom of the profiles thereof as illustrated in Fig. 12. To complete the partition section to be built, boards T (106) will be applied in a preferred way in a vertical orientation / positioning. The boards T (106), in their length, may have one or more variable measures, depending on the need for the application, and in width, they must have a fixed measure. In one of the preferred embodiments, there are two types of boards with different lengths, the board TA (1061) and the board TB (1062). The board TA (1061) may comprise a length of 150 mm and the board TB (1062) may comprise a length of 70 mm for additional wall length differences. The previously described lengths are merely indicative, and should not be limiting, and may vary depending on the final application of the system. When applied together, the board TA (1061) and the board TB (1062) guarantee the adaptability of the system to any wall size to be built. The boards T (106) have a "V"-shaped end on the bottom face and on one side, and an end with an inverted "V" profile on the opposite face and on the top, as illustrated in Fig. 13. The inverted "V" at the top allows overlapping boards T for greater wall heights (10). However, height adjustment will always be carried out from the top down, in order to preserve the lower profile. The height of the board T (106) is defined, e.g. by deducting 95 millimetres from the compartment height, being cut (if necessary). Board T (106) is then applied by first inserting its upper face into the inner groove of profile A (101) fixed to the ceiling (11). It should rest against the inside face of this groove. As illustrated in Fig. 14, this allows the lower face of the board T (106), with a "V" section, to pass over the side of Profile B (105) up to its inner groove, which has the inner face with an inverted "V" shape. Once the board (106) is directly over the groove, it is lowered, which will fit inside profile B (105). Then, and supported by the illustrations in Fig. 15 and following, the board T (106) is moved horizontally until it is inserted in profile A (101) attached to the wall (10). The process is repeated ensuring the orientation of the same boards T (106) in relation to the previous face. The new boards T (106) will successively fit through their "V" profiles, until the last one completes the construction of the new dividing wall. To adjust measurements, and to avoid gaps, the size of the accommodation flexible foam or elastomer can also be varied, as long as it remains hidden inside the inner groove of profiles A (101) and J (104). Finally, profile K (107) is applied over profile J (104), Fig. 18 and 19, fixing the entire system and preventing it from being dismantled. The number of attachments depends on the existing wall and the height of the compartment, so the profiles do not have pre-drilled holes. In one of the embodiments, and in cases where the built wall has a greater length, and therefore greater longitudinal instability, i.e., with a greater distance between the application of profile A (101) and profile J (104), in order to add greater stability to the system, it is recommended to use profile L (108), Fig. 20, arranged vertically between boards T (106), at regular intervals. To proceed with the dismantling of the built wall, it is essential to carry out the process in reverse of the previously described one.

[0037] In one embodiment, there is the possibility of applying panels P (109) consisting of an external coating structure, comprised, for example, of plywood boards, or other derivatives of wood, phenolics, etc. Inside panels P (109) thermal and / or acoustic insulation (1091) is applied, which may result from shavings resulting from the manufacture of the remaining components of the system. To enable the adjustment of measurements, there is a panel PB (1093), with ¾ of the width of the panel PA (1092), and a panel PC (1094) with ½ of the width of the panel PA (1092). In figure 22, several views of the PA (1092), PB (1093) and PC (1094) panels are shown, in particular exterior views, in vertical and cross section.

[0038] In one of the embodiments, the profile of panels P (109) reproduces the profile of the boards T (106), so as to make use of the same profiles previously described, and which therefore also serve as a support structure for said panels.

[0039] In one of the possible embodiments of the present invention, the application of panels P (109) starts, runs and ends in the same way as the process presented for boards T (106). Its upper profile of the panels (109) can be adjusted in relation to the required height, foreseeing the existence of different heights for the panels P (109), each one of them having the possibility of adjustment, preferably in an interval of 100 millimetres, this adjustment to be carried out on the upper profile of the panel (109), solid, and with the width of the profile fittings. As in the case illustrated and represented in the application of boards T (106), as the final finishing of the last panel P (109) with profile A (101), or the junction of profiles J (104) and K (107), a profile O (110) is further used, which has a fitting in the face intended to be lower, as shown in Fig. 23. To adjust the height, the face to be cut is always the upper one (smooth). Moreover, in one embodiment, the boards TA (1061) and the board TB (1062) can be used for additional adjustment of measurements. The use of the boards T (106) together with the panels P (109) makes it possible to use the suggested flexible foam or elastomer solution for a more precise adjustment. However, it is necessary that the boards T (106) are used at the ends of the wall, that is, finishing with the profile A (101) in upright position and the profile J (104) and K (107).APPLICATION SOLUTION 2: WALL WITH OPEN DOOR

[0040] In one of the possible embodiments of the present invention, for the construction of a dividing wall comprising a door at a certain point along its length, the examples of figures 25 onwards are shown. In this case, profiles A (101) can therefore be applied, their length being that of the wall to be made, deducted from profiles A (101) and J (104), previously described. Profile B (105) will consist of two sections, spaced apart by the door and its respective jambs, whose location must be defined in advance. This will have to be defined according to the possibilities allowed by the metric of profiles A (101) and J (105), boards T (106), and panels P. Aligned with profile J (105), the first section of profile B (105) should be arranged on the ground, using the fitting EA (102) as a reference. At the opposite end of profile B (105) fitting EC (111) is arranged, according to the groove of the first one, screwing it to the floor, as shown in Figures 27 and 28. At a distance (D), preferably 805 mm, of this fitting EC (111), and in its alignment, a new EC fitting (111) is applied. Together with the fitting EA (102) in the profile J (105) the location of the second section of profile B (105) is defined. Figures 29 and 30 illustrate the fitting of the second section of profile B (105), on the fitting EC (111) and fitting EA (102) inserted in profile J (104).

[0041] To complete the construction of the dividing wall with a door, a process for applying the boards T (106) identical to that previously described is used, and in this case, the end of the wall will be the door frame. Fig. 31 shows the application of the boards T (106) in the first segment of the wall, up to the place where the door frame will be arranged. Given the prefabrication of the door, with standardized measurements, and the need to ensure the location of the lock and hinges accordingly, the frame (jambs and lintel) is available as a single element. This is made up of three H profiles (112) (jambs and lintel), whose profile contains a stop for the door. The door frame is applied and remains in place thanks to the EC fittings (111) and the last board T (106) that precedes it.

[0042] The boards TA (1061) are applied over the door frame, specially sized to make the door flag as shown in Fig. 33. Its dimension is obtained by deducting, in a preferred embodiment, 2030 millimetres from the height of the previously used Boards T. The arrangement of the boards TA (1061) can be inserted in a "drawer" style, sliding over the door lintel. Since the door frame was designed according to the metric of the boards TA (1061), six boards of this TA typology (1061) are needed to complete the flag as illustrated in figure 33, paying particular attention to their orientation according to "V" side profiles. The construction of the wall continues with the application of the remaining boards T (106). In one embodiment, the application of panels P (109) can be used to the detriment of boards T (106) for the construction of the wall of the system with door, as previously described and illustrated.WALL FINISHING AT A TOP

[0043] The top of the developed wall system is applicable in different situations: when the wall ends alone, without encountering another element (consisting of an isolated partition); when it is intended to perform a corner wall, which consists of two attached tops; when the partition of the space requires the meeting of several walls (with intersections in the shape of a "T" or in the shape of an "X"), and the meeting between the different planes is made as tops against continuous walls; when the application of a sliding door is intended, whose height is similar to that of the compartment and the wall, causing the span to end in isolated tops as if they were isolated partitions;

[0044] To start its construction, the same steps identified in the application of profile A (101) and Fitting EA (102) are followed. The length of the wall is defined, and, in one embodiment, 5mm from its end, the fitting ED (114) is applied. This fitting ED (114) is screwed into the floor, with the wider base facing the end of the wall.

[0045] The fitting EE (115), on the ceiling, is installed in the same way, flush with the fitting ED (114). Their illustrations can be found in Fig. 34. The fitting EE (115) (the axonometric projection is inverted, according to the actual application method - on the ceiling).

[0046] New profiles A (101) can now be applied to the ceiling and profiles B (105) to the floor. The measurement thereof will be that of the distance between the inside face of the fittings EA (102) and profile B (105) and fittings ED (114) and EE (115). Fig. 35 shows an application of profiles A (101) on the ceiling and profiles B (105) on the floor. The application of boards T (106) is identical to the previously identified application processes as suggested in Fig. 36. At the top of the wall, a profile I (116) will be subsequently applied, Fig. 37, vertically, being subsequently screwed to fittings ED (114) and EE (115), as suggested in Fig. 38.WALL WITH CORNER SOLUTION

[0047] In one of the embodiments, the construction of a wall system with a corner consists of abutting two top solutions (previously described) and presupposes the successive construction thereof. That is, a first wall curtain (21) is constructed both for boards T (106) and for panels P (109). In this first wall curtain (21) fittings ED (114) and EE (115) are used, which end the wall inferiorly with a similar recess (5mm) to profiles A (101) and B (105). In the construction of the second wall curtain (22), on top of the side of the first, fittings EA (102) and EB (103) will be used. In these fittings, the lower tab is sensibly 10mm larger than in fittings ED (114) and EE (115), which allows them to bridge the gap allowed by the first fittings. After applying the fittings and respective profiles, the construction of the wall proceeds according to the previously described points, both for the application of boards T (106) and for the application of panels P (109). This solution is briefly illustrated in Fig. 39."T" OR "X" WALL MEETING

[0048] For situations where the wall system meets another wall of the system arranged in length at the top (creating a "T" situation), the top solution against a continuous wall is used. The same occurs on the opposite side in the creation of an apparent intersection of walls (in "X"). In this way, instead of creating specific profiles adapted to these situations, it becomes possible to revert these situations to a single continuous wall, without the need to interfere with the latter. The way in which the top solution is applied varies depending on whether boards T (106) or panels P (109) are used, as a result of the different profile obtained due to the different thickness of the latter. As panel P (109) has the same thickness as the profiles that serve as the rail for its application, the top will rest directly on the continuous wall. Prior to the vertical application of profiles B (105) and A (101), the system resting on fittings ED (114) and EE (115), must be screwed to the wall (10) against which it rests.

[0049] If Boards T (106) are used in the construction of the wall, profiles A (101) and B (105) (lower and upper profiles) and profile I (116) (vertical profile) must be applied differently. In a common top situation, profile I (116) (supported on fittings ED (114) and EE (115) occupies the entire ceiling height. Profiles A (101) and B (105) rest against profile I (116) using fittings ED (114) and EE (115) as a guide. Since boards T (106) do not have the same width as the profiles that support them, when abutting profile I (116) as in the previous situation, a 10mm gap in the space corresponding to board T (106) would be created.

[0050] In this situation, profile I (116) will remain the first to be applied, but on one of the boards T (106) that make up the longitudinal wall. This means that its height (and that of the respective fittings) will no longer be that of the available ceiling height but will correspond to the height of the visible part of the boards T (106) (that is, the ceiling height deducted from the height of profiles A (101) and B (105). Profile I (116) will have to be perfectly vertical to ensure that the wall that will give rise to it does not have any warping. For this purpose, the limit of one of the boards T (106) of the existing wall can be used as a reference to ensure alignment.

[0051] Fig. 40 and 41 show the application of profile I (116) on the existing wall (10) in order to start the wall that will be perpendicular thereto. In order to give more stability to the intersection, profile I (116) to be fixed to the existing wall (10) must match with a profile N (117) on the opposite side of the constructed wall, as shown in Figs. 42 and 43. The fastening elements used will cover both profiles on opposite sides.

[0052] Profile A (101), on the ceiling, and profile B (105), on the floor, can now be applied, using profile I (116) as a reference. The attachment thereof will be adapted to profile I (116). The application of boards T (106) in this new structure proceeds as in the previous examples, with its completion according to the appropriate situation, as shown in Figs. 44 and 45.

[0053] In situations where walls meet in an "X", as suggested in figure 46, wherein the top walls abut the existing wall on exact opposite sides (always carried out with boards T (106)), profile N (117) can be dispensed with, as the second profile I (116) is responsible for the reinforcement previously carried out by profile N (117).SLIDING DOOR OR WALL

[0054] The sliding door will slide parallel to the wall of the installed system, ending in a top, but it can also be applied in a span of an existing wall (10), made of different materials, functioning in a similar way. The developed system foresees the use of rails, carriages and guides available in the market. Its size should be defined according to the available dimensions of the Boards T (106) and panels P (109), with the possibilities of adjustment allowed thereby. Its installation begins with the upper attachment of Profile C (118). The dimension of this corresponds to the length of the span to be hidden by the sliding door. Profile C (118) uses the existing wall (10) in which the span is located as a reference for attachment. Its side flap is arranged against the wall, which guarantees its alignment. In the interval corresponding to the span, profile G (u) is used instead of profile C (118): profile G (119) is narrower than Profile C (118), to guarantee its alignment with the sliding door (to be subsequently mounted) which is preferably 5mm away from the wall, to allow it to work. The alignment of profile C (118) with profile G (119) is achieved using the internal profile of the side flap as a reference, as illustrated in Figs. 50 and 51.

[0055] The rail of the sliding system with the runner (1191) included is attached to profile C (118) in the middle of its inner profile, in order to guarantee the central position of the sliding door to be installed later. Its attachment is done ensuring the crossing of profiles C (118) and G (119) to fix directly on the ceiling (11) as suggested in Fig. 52.

[0056] The sliding door guide is applied to the floor (12), flush / aligned with the upper rail (118, 119), according to its instructions. Next, the sliding door is assembled, which consists of a frame made with the upper profile E (120), with fittings already applied, the lower profile F (121) and the side profiles M (122). The length of profiles E (120) and F (121) is defined by deducting 120 millimetres from the total door measurement, which corresponds to the width of the side profiles M (122). The height of profiles M (122) is defined using the ceiling height of the compartment (or the upper height of the Profile C (118), if it is not attached to the ceiling), from which 75 millimetres are deducted (corresponding to the measurement of Profile C (118) and the gaps necessary for the door to work). On the upper face of profile E (120) the fittings where the runners of the sliding system will be inserted are applied. Profile M (122) has a handle embedded in the profile, preferably 900 millimetres from one of its ends, which corresponds to the conventional height of a handle. This means that the adjustment in height of profile M (122) must be done at the opposite end, so as not to change the height at which the handle will be arranged from the ground.

[0057] The assembly of the door will be carried out lying on the floor or on a flat surface. It starts by screwing two EF fittings (123) to each of the ends of profile F (121). The correct position thereof is achieved by aligning their lower and upper faces with the inside of profile F (121). Figure 55 shows the arrangement of fitting EF (123) on profile F (121), and subsequent screwing.

[0058] Next, two fittings EG (124) are screwed to each of the ends of profile E (120), ensuring their alignment as explained in the previous item. The upper profile E (120) with the respective fitting EG (124) is screwed to one end of the side of profile M (122) as shown in Fig. 57.

[0059] The lower profile F (121), with the respective fitting EF (123), is then screwed onto the other end of the side of profile M (122). A "C"-shaped structure is then obtained, and profile M (122), that closes the frame, will only be applied after the installation of boards T (106) or panels P (109), as suggested in Figs. 58 de 59. The height of the latter should be defined according to the free height inside the structure, and should be cut according to need, preferably with a 5-millimetre gap. In the case of the sliding door, the preferential gap of 20 millimetres is not left between boards T (106) or panels P (109) and profile E (120), given that the former take part in the structural integrity of the door.

[0060] Boards T (106) or panels P (109) are inserted in the frame, through its open face, fitting its lower and upper profiles in profiles E (120) and F (121). After insertion, they are slid along the profiles until they meet profile M (122). The following profiles will be inserted until they reach the desired length.

[0061] The second profile M (122) will then be applied and fixed in the same way as previously described, wherein in the case of boards T (106) being used, a flexible foam or elastomer must be applied as previously described. The structure is thus complete, obtaining a closed and solid panel, constituting the sliding door or wall as shown in Fig. 59. The latter should then be verticalized, with the upper face of profile E (120) oriented upwards. The system's door / wall will then be arranged in its place, relative to the existing wall (10), fitting the lower groove of the profile F (121) in the previously attached floor guide.

[0062] Still in a preferred embodiment, profile A (101) has an "H" shape. Still in a preferred embodiment, the fitting EA (102) and the fitting EB (103) have a parallelepiped shape with several notches that allow its fitting with Profile A (101) and with Profile J (104), which presents an "L" shape. Profile B (105) preferably has an identical A shape (101), but comprises an inner core adapted to receive the profile of boards T (106) with the "V" wedge-shaped shown in Fig. 13. Profile L (108), preferably has a "U" shape comprising at its base an inverted "V" notch to accommodate the "V" profile of the boards T (106). Profile O (110) comprises an octagon-like shape with two additional vertical protrusions aligned with each other, to promote the adapted fit between profile A (101) and the panel (109). Fitting EC (111) has shape similarities with fitting EA (102) and fitting EB (103) but is dimensionally adaptable to the lower section of profile B (105). The same is true for fittings ED (114) and EE (115). Profile I (116) preferably comprises a "U" shape.

[0063] The present description is of course in no way restricted to the embodiments presented herein and a person of ordinary skill in the art may provide many possibilities of modifying it without departing from the general idea as defined in the claims. The preferred embodiments described above are obviously combinable with each other. The following claims further define preferred embodiments.
