Description

[0001] MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM DEDICATED TO

[0002] CONSTRUCTION, CRAFTWORK AND COLLECTING

[0003] This invention refers to a system for modular construction with regard to building construction, crafts , collecting and model building .

[0004] In particular, the invention refers to a modular structure that can be assembled in three dimensions to form flat surfaces without deformities and regular angles and vertices without the need for touch-ups , plastering or post-assembly painting .

[0005] The solution proposed by this invention provides a simple definition of the distinctive elements of a civil or construction-related structure which are appropriate and necessary, provided they are comprehensively novel and inventive in character .

[0006] One purpose of this invention is to devise a system that overcomes some of the manufacturing and / or construction-related drawbacks of classic state-of-the-art systems and methods and is particularly simple , intuitive and ef ficient - an easy to assemble , cost ef ficient structure which is safe to operate and use . The above attributes are ensured by the following features : the system requires each component assembled within the structure to incorporate male and / or female coupling elements the system also includes panels that ensure the construction of continuous walls free of imperfections . Said panels can be assembled within the structure in a simple manner and enable the formation of well-defined corners ; the structure can be filled with thermal and / or acoustic insulation materials ;

[0007] The design has been conceived and engineered to leave space for structural support and allow for the transit of pipes and cables .

[0008] It is understood that the attached claims form an integral part of this description .

[0009] This invention is best described by a preferred form of implementation, which is provided as a non- exhaustive example .

[0010] In light of the current state of the art , the main technical problem for which this invention intends to provide a solution is constructive realisation in terms of reproductive scale and primarily measurements , so as to meet subj ective or obj ective needs when defining appropriate three- dimensional technical speci fications for this purpose , or according to the design variables , with the possibility of using these shapes for practical commercial purposes , and to encourage industries to create adequate anatomical shapes which are ef ficient , ef fective and less complex .

[0011] It is thus understood that countless variations and modi fications can be made to the elements herein described ( for example , in relation to the shapes , dimensions , arrangements and parts with equivalent functions ) without deviating from the protected scope of the invention as outlined in the annexed claims .

[0012] All the details may be replaced by other technically equivalent elements , and the materials may di f fer according to requirements without deviating from the protected scope of this invention .

[0013] Furthermore , one beneficial aspect of this invention is that the device , as it has been conceived / designed with respect to other similar and analogous products , provides a level of functionality that no other device of its kind of fers .

[0014] To date , there i s no similar device for the above described activities or functions in a manner equal or similar to the subj ect matter of this invention, nor has any comparable solution been suggested .

[0015] Nevertheless , this invention aims to solve some of the common problems regarding use or deployment of building structures , including implementation times , low si ze / weight ratio and poor reliability, through a modular construction system that has the following characteristics : simplicity and speed of assembly / construction of complex structures ; construction and structural resilience ; finishing of civil buildings ensuring compliance with all the fundamental functions of modern construction techniques .

[0016] Although the subj ect of this invention has been described with particular reference to the attached figures , the reference numbers used in the description and the claims are intended to enhance understanding of the invention itsel f and do not in any way restrict the protected claimed scope of application .

[0017] This invention is described with reference to a currently preferred configuration, but it is understood that in practice , other arrangements or clari fications may be implemented with the evolution of technology, variations and modifications, albeit without departing from the scope of protection of this invention.

[0018] This invention achieves the above stated purposes and others through the following features: greater safety; modularity; possibility of using different materials to adapt to the textural and stylistic expectations of manufacturers.

[0019] Furthermore, this invention aims to solve various implementation / use and safety problems, including : optimisation of installation times; full compliance with building regulations; improved size / weight ratio; high level of reliability.

[0020] Likewise, it is specified that further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be more evident in light of the detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive configuration. This is illustrated by way of a non-exhaustive example in the attached drawings, in which the device / system consists of the following parts represented in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, depending on the configuration of the invention . The figures represent a view of the structure ( frame ) , a view of one or more planar elements of the structure (panel s ) , and a view of the coupling elements . The above structure 1 is characteri zed in that it i s preferably a cubicshaped polyhedron or another shape variant , comprising one or more polygonal planar surfaces that delimit said structure 1 and housings 2 which can be fixed internally and / or at the four corners of the polygons that delimit the surface of the polyhedron, preferably composed of six or more geometric faces , in which one or more flat elements 4 with constructional and decorative functions can be inserted, preferably with a square shape or other variants , intended as supports inserted into said structure 1 that allow various pigments and textures to be applied in each of the polygons that make up their perimeter ( for example a wall ) , through connections 3 made of di f ferent materials based on the result to be obtained with the construction, said connections 3 being made in such a way as to connect said structure 1 by means of a geometric support block 5 to align said flat elements 4 of said structure 1 without the need for further equipment . Preferred configurations of the invention have been described, but can naturally be subj ect to further modi fications and variants within the scope of the same inventive idea .

[0021] In particular, numerous variations and modi fications will be immediately evident to sector specialists . These variations are functionally equivalent to the previous ones which fall under the invention' s scope of protection, as outlined in the annexed claims , in which any references enclosed by parentheses shall not be interpreted as exhaustive of the claims themselves .

[0022] Furthermore , the word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of elements and / or phases beyond those listed in the claims . The article "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements . The mere fact that some features are mentioned in di f ferent dependent claims does not imply that a combination of these features cannot be beneficially adopted .
