Description

Title of the invention: Cladding panels for modular construction modules Field of invention

[0001] The field of the present invention is that of construction, and more precisely of modular construction.

[0002] The invention relates in particular to the cladding, particularly for decorative purposes, of modular construction modules. Prior art

[0003] Modular construction is a method of construction which consists of prefabricating construction modules which are, after their manufacture, transported to their place of installation where they are, if necessary, assembled with each other. Each of these modules is generally sized so that it can be transported on a truck. To this end, they generally comply with the road gauges imposed by the authorities, and often have dimensions close to those of a transport container.

[0004] Modular building modules are very commonly used as construction site bungalows. They can also be used for the manufacture of many temporary constructions, for example office complexes.

[0005] The external walls of modular building modules are formed from wall panels whose appearance is unattractive and easily recognizable. It is sometimes desirable to mask these walls, during the installation or renovation of modular construction, in order to improve the aesthetics of the modular construction and to make its temporary nature less visible. Such masking of the walls is commonly achieved using cladding, for example wooden boards.

[0006] Installing cladding on a wall of a modular building module is done in two stages. Firstly, it is necessary to fix, most often by screwing, battens to the wall. These battens, commonly spaced from each other at a center distance of approximately 50 cm, form the support for the cladding. The boards forming the cladding are, in a second stage, fixed to the battens forming this frame.

[0007] This method of assembling cladding on a modular construction module wall requires a significant amount of installation time, first for fixing the battens, then for cutting and fixing the boards forming the cladding to these battens. It therefore requires a relatively long installation time, which can be prohibitive when the modular construction is intended to be installed only for one short duration.

[0008] Removing this cladding, for example when uninstalling a modular building, also takes a significant amount of time, and the components of the removed cladding cannot easily be reused to cladding another modular building module.

[0009] Furthermore, the installation of such cladding requires fixing cleats by screwing into the walls of the modular construction, and therefore drilling these walls. Modular construction walls are generally made up of sandwich material panels, in which external layers, ensuring the waterproofing of the panels, surround an internal layer which is generally insulating. Such panels are not designed to be load-bearing structures and their strength is moderate. Consequently, fixing the cleat structure to such panels to support cladding requires numerous screws. The drilling induced by these screws alters the waterproofing and insulation properties of the panels. Furthermore, when the cladding is removed from the wall of a modular construction module, the holes left by the screws on this wall are unsightly.It is often necessary, before reusing the modular building module, to fill these holes before repainting the wall, or even replacing the wall panel with a new one.

[0010] Objectives of the invention

[0011] The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks of the prior art. In particular, the present invention aims to propose a cladding solution specifically adapted to the walls of modular construction modules, the installation of which on the wall is easier and faster than the claddings of the prior art.

[0012] Another objective of the invention is to propose such cladding which is easy to uninstall, and the elements of which can be easily reused on another modular construction module.

[0013] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide such cladding, the installation and uninstallation of which involves very little modification and degradation of the modular construction modules.

[0014] A particular objective of the invention, according to certain of its embodiments, is to provide such cladding in which the installation of the finishing elements of the cladding is facilitated. Statement of the invention

[0015] These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly hereinafter, are achieved according to the invention by a cladding panel for a modular construction module, this panel comprising at least one cladding plate, this panel cladding comprising at least two suspension hooks, assembled to at least one of the cladding plates near the upper edge of the panel, these hooks being shaped to allow said panel to be hung on a horizontal edge, and to support the weight of the panel hung on such an edge.

[0016] The cladding panel can thus be put into position very easily by simply hooking it onto the parapet of the modular construction module, before being fixed to this module to prevent it from coming loose. Such a panel can therefore be assembled or disassembled very easily.

[0017] Advantageously, these hooks are shaped to bear against the edge, in a vertical direction, and to prevent the hook from moving on the edge, in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the panel.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment, the hooks are configured to allow the attachment of a cover covering the upper edge of the panel.

[0019] The finishing elements of the cladding can thus be put in place very easily.

[0020] Preferably, in this case, the hooks comprise a portion overlapping the upper edge of the cladding board to which they are assembled, and a portion extending in front of the face of the cladding board which is intended to be visible.

[0021] Preferably, the panel comprises a fixing sheet, assembled at the lower end of at least one of the cladding plates, and extending under this cladding plate, in the extension thereof.

[0022] This fixing sheet can advantageously be fixed, for example by screwing, on the base of the modular construction module, in order to finish the fixing of the module by preventing its hooks from coming loose. In such a case, the installation and fixing of the panel do not require any drilling or any damage to the walls of the module or its upper crown, but only drilling of its base. The insulation, the sealing and the aesthetics of the module are thus preserved.

[0023] According to an advantageous embodiment, the cladding panel comprises at least two cladding plates placed one below the other, these cladding plates being connected to each other by means of the fixing sheets.

[0024] Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous for carrying out cladding on the walls of several modular construction modules stacked on top of each other. In such a case, the fixing sheets located at the bottom of each cladding plate can advantageously be positioned opposite the base of one of the modules, and fixed to this base, for example by screwing.

[0025] According to an advantageous characteristic, the cladding panel is equipped with carrying handles.

[0026] Advantageously, at least one of the cladding plates consists of a frame on which a covering is fixed.

[0027] Preferably, this covering is made up of wooden boards fixed to the structure.

[0028] It is however possible, in variants of the invention, for the covering to be made of any other material usually used to form cladding or wall masking.

[0029] The invention also relates to a modular construction module equipped with cladding, this module having a base and an upper crown forming an acroterion, the cladding comprising at least two cladding panels as described previously, the suspension hooks of which are attached to the acroterion.

[0030] Preferably, the lower ends of the panels are fixed to the base of this module.

[0031] The invention also relates to a method of assembling cladding on a modular construction module, characterized in that it comprises: - a step of hanging the hooks of at least one cladding panel as described previously, on the acroterion of a modular construction module, so as to suspend the panel from this acroterion, and - a step of fixing the lower end of the panel to the base of the modular construction module.

Detailed description of embodiments of the invention

[0033] According to the invention, the cladding of the walls of a prefabricated construction module can advantageously be carried out by fixing, on these walls, prefabricated cladding panels 1.

[0034] Figures 1 and 2 represent, in perspective, such a prefabricated cladding panel 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. This panel 1 advantageously comprises a cladding plate 11 which forms the surface of the cladding. This cladding plate 11 defines a plane extending substantially vertically, when the cladding panel 1 is installed on a modular construction module. This plane defined by the cladding plate 11 will be considered, in the present description of the cladding panel 1, as a vertical plane. Furthermore, the face of this cladding plate 11 which is intended to form the external surface of the cladding, which is visible in [Fig.2], will be designated as the front face of the cladding panel 1. The face which is visible in [Fig.l], opposite this front face and intended to be placed opposite a wall of a modular construction module, will be designated as the rear face of the cladding panel 1.Finally, the edges of the cladding panel will be designated, respectively, top edge, bottom edge and side edges, depending on their position when the cladding panel 1 is installed on a wall of a modular construction module.

[0035] In the embodiment shown, the cladding plate 11 is constituted by a frame 12 carrying a covering 13. The frame 12 is advantageously formed of wooden cleats extending horizontally and vertically and forms a substantially flat support on which the covering 13 is fixed.

[0036] The cover 13 may, in a conventional manner, be made up of wooden boards fixed to the frame 12. In variants of the invention, this cover 13 may be made up of any type of plate making it possible to mask a wall, regardless of the material constituting this plate. In the embodiment shown in [Fig.l], the spaces located at the rear of the cover 13, in the frames delimited by the frame 12, remain empty. It is however possible, in other embodiments of the invention, for these spaces to be filled, for example with a thermal or acoustic insulating material, in order to confer insulating properties to the cladding plate 11.

[0037] It is also possible, in other embodiments of the invention, for the cladding plate to be a self-supporting plate, simultaneously providing the function of frame and covering. Such a cladding plate can be implemented in a cladding panel 1 according to the invention, without being fixed to a frame.

[0038] At the upper edge of the cladding panel 1, which is intended to be oriented upwards when this cladding panel 1 is installed on a modular construction module, the cladding plate 11 is fixed to suspension hooks 2. In the embodiment shown, two suspension hooks 2 are fixed to the frame 12, near the two upper corners of the cladding plate 11. It is however possible, in variants of the invention, for the upper edge of the cladding panel 1 to have a greater number of these hooks 2.

[0039] Such a suspension hook 2 is shown in more detail in the view of [Fig. 3]. It comprises a fixing portion 21, capable of being fixed to the cladding plate 11. In the embodiment shown, this fixing portion 21 is constituted by a metal strip extending vertically to be pressed against the elements of the frame 12, and having holes 210 for the passage of screws allowing it to be fixed to the frame 12.

[0040] This hook 2 also comprises a support portion 22, which is fixed to the upper end of the fixing portion 21. When the fixing portion 21 is fixed to the cladding plate 11, this support portion 22 extends substantially horizontally, from the rear face of the cladding plate 11, in a direction moving away from this cladding plate 11. This support portion has a surface oriented downwards, substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the cladding plate 11, which can be placed on a support to rest thereon.

[0041] At its end opposite that fixed to the fixing portion 21, the support portion is fixed to a retaining portion 23, extending substantially downwards, from the support portion 22, and substantially parallel to the plane defined by the cladding plate 11.

[0042] The fixing portion 21, the support portion 22 and the retaining portion 23 of the suspension hook 2 are advantageously formed to form a hook open downwards, allowing the cladding panel 1 to be suspended from a support. A hook, within the meaning of the present description, is a part which allows both support in one direction, here support in a vertical direction, and to provide lateral support making it possible to prevent slipping in at least one direction perpendicular to the direction of support.

[0043] In certain cases, as in the embodiment shown in [Fig. 2], the retaining portion 23 of the suspension hook 2 may be pierced with a tapped hole into which a screw 231 is screwed. Such a screw 231, tightened after the hook is placed on a support, advantageously makes it possible to eliminate play between the hook and the support.

[0044] [Fig.4] represents a hook 2 according to a variant of the solution represented by the [Fig.3]. This hook 2 is almost identical to that shown in [Fig.3], and has a fixing portion 21 having holes 210, a support portion 22 and a retaining portion 23. The retaining portion 23 is however, in this variant, slightly different from that shown in [Fig.3]. Thus, this retaining portion 23 extends downwards, but is not perpendicular to the support portion 22, nor parallel to the fixing portion 21. Indeed, it has a configuration, here oriented along a plane inclined relative to the vertical, which allows it to adapt to the specific shape of an acroterion of a modular construction module.

[0045] Despite this different shape of the retaining portion 23, the fixing portion 21, the support portion 22 and the retaining portion 23 of the suspension hook 2 form a hook open downwards, allowing the cladding panel 1 to be suspended from a support. The retaining portion 23 retains the same function and prevents, when the cladding panel is suspended from this support, the translation of the hook relative to the support, in a horizontal direction.

[0046] The suspension hooks 2 thus make it possible to suspend the cladding panel 1 from a substantially horizontal linear support, such as the acroterion forming the top of a side wall of a modular construction module.

[0047] [Fig.6] schematically represents a module 3 of modular construction. A such a module generally has a generally parallelepiped shape and comprises a base 31, carrying the floor of the module 3 and an upper crown 32, carrying the roof 320 of the module 3. The base 31 carries horizontal posts themselves supporting the upper crown 32, and the space between the base 31 and the crown 32 is closed by wall panels forming the walls of the module 3. Openings, such as the window 33, are cut out in these wall panels. The upper crown 32 is shaped so as to have an acroterion 321 extending each side wall of the module 3. This acroterion 321, which rises slightly above the roof 320 of the module 3, forms a substantially horizontal border surrounding the upper surface of the module 3.

[0048] Four cladding panels 101, 102, 103 and 104 are installed on the side walls of the module 3 shown in [Fig.6]. The panels 101 and 102, which are juxtaposed next to each other, are advantageously identical to the panel 1 shown in [Fig.1], and the panels 103 and 104 have fixing means identical to those of the panel 1, but have cutouts corresponding to the location of a window 33 of the module 3.

[0049] Each of these cladding panels 101, 102, 103 and 104 is equipped with suspension hooks 2, along its upper edge, and the hooks 2 of each of these cladding panels 101, 102, 103 and 104 are attached to the parapet 321 of the module 3. Each of the cladding panels 101, 102, 103 and 104 is thus suspended from acroterion 321 and extends along one of the walls of the module.

[0050] [Fig. 5] shows, in schematic sectional view, a part of the module 3 which comprises the acroterion 321, and the top of a cladding panel 1 having a hook 2 suspended from this acroterion. More precisely, the support portion 22 of the hook 2 is placed on the top of this acroterion 321, and the fixing 21 and retaining 23 portions of the hook 2, located on either side of the support portion 22, prevent the movements of the hook 2 relative to the acroterion 321, in a direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the cladding plate 11 of the panel 1.

[0051] Once its upper end is hooked by the hooks 2 onto the parapet 321 of a modular construction module 3, the cladding panel 1 is temporarily held in position, by its own weight, against the wall of the module 3. To avoid untimely detachment of the panel 1, it is provided to use at least one additional fixing assembling the lower end of the panel 1 to the base 31 of the module 3.

[0052] In the embodiment shown, this fixing is carried out by means of a lower fixing sheet 4, which is fixed, for example by screwing, on the rear face of the cladding plate 11, along the lower edge thereof. A portion of this lower fixing sheet 4 protrudes under the cladding plate 11, and is shaped to come into contact with the base 31 of the module 3. It can thus be fixed to this base 31, for example by screwing, using self-drilling screws.

[0053] It should be noted that this screwing fixing of the lower end of the panel 1 is not intended to support the weight of the panel 1 itself, this weight being supported by the suspension hooks 2. This fixing of the lower end of the panel 1, on the other hand, makes it possible to prevent any lifting of the panel 1, which could allow the hooks 2 to be unhooked from the parapet 321 of the module 3. This fixing of the lower end of the panel 1 also makes it possible to prevent the bottom of the panel from being torn off, in a horizontal direction, which could move it away from the wall of the module 3. Finally, this fixing of the lower end of the panel 1 also makes it possible to prevent the panel from sliding along the wall of the module 3, the hooks sliding along the parapet 321. This fixing therefore makes it possible to ensure immobilization of the panel on the wall of the module 3.

[0054] Not having to support the weight of the panel 1, the fixing of the lower end of the panel 1 therefore only has to resist relatively moderate forces. This fixing can thus be ensured by a limited number of screws passing through the lower fixing sheet 4. These screws are advantageously screwed into the base 31 of the module 3, which is a structural portion of this module, which is generally not watertight and is often not very visible. The piercing of this base 31 by the screws does not cause any disadvantage linked to the aesthetics or the watertightness of the module 3.

[0055] Particularly advantageously, the cladding panels according to the invention can be equipped with support elements facilitating the installation of complementary cladding parts of the cladding. Thus, in the embodiment shown, the hooks 2 implemented on the cladding panel 1 have a front flashing support portion 24, and a rear flashing support portion 25.

[0056] In the embodiment shown, the rear support portion of the coping 25 forms a plate extending substantially horizontally in the extension of the support portion 22, on the side of this support portion 22 which is furthest from the cladding plate 11.

[0057] The front coping support portion 24 comprises a first segment 241 extending substantially horizontally in the extension of the support portion 22, on the side of this support portion 22 opposite the rear coping support portion 25, and a second segment 242 extending substantially vertically downwards, from the end of the first segment which is distant from the support portion 22. The front coping support portion 24 thus has an “L” shape which overlaps the upper edge of the cladding plate 11 and descends, by a few centimeters, in front of the front face of this cladding plate 11.

[0058] A suitable cover can easily be mounted on such hooks 2. Such a cover 6, mounted on a panel 1, is shown in [Fig.7]. This same cover 6 is shown in [Fig.7], masking the hooks 2 of the cladding panels 103 and 104.

[0059] This cover 6 is a piece of folded sheet metal, for example made of lacquered steel, configured to cover the top of a plurality of cladding panels 1 juxtaposed next to each other. It has a fold 61 which can overlap the second segments 242 of the front support portions of the cover 24 of a plurality of hooks 2, along the upper edge of the front face of the cladding plates 11.

[0060] This cover 6 is also shaped to cover all of the upper edges of the panels 1, including the hooks 2. It thus ensures the aesthetics of the cladding, and prevents the introduction of water between the cladding and the wall of the module 3. Advantageously, this cover 6 can be fixed by screwing screws 69 into the rear support portions of the cover 25. A piercing of the cover at the level of these portions of the hook 2 does not cause any sealing defect detrimental to the sealing of the module 3.

[0061] Each panel 1 can advantageously be equipped with a junction masking plate 7, for example made of lacquered steel, fixed along one of the lateral edges of the cladding plate 11. When several panels are juxtaposed on a wall of a modular construction module, such as for example the panels 101 and 102 shown in [Fig. 6], the junction masking plate 7 fixed along one edge side of a panel covers the junction of this panel with the neighboring panel.

[0062] Junction angles 71 may also be provided to mask the junction of the cladding panels, at the corners of the module 3. Such junction angles, known in themselves, may be fixed, for example by screwing, to the cladding panels after their installation.

[0063] Some of the cladding panels, such as panels 103 and 104 shown in [Fig. 6], may have shapes specifically adapted to conform to the openings of the modular building module. In such a case, when an opening extends along several cladding panels, framing cladding elements 72, for example made of lacquered steel, may be attached to the cladding panels after their installation.

[0064] The hooks 2, fixed at the top of the cladding panels, therefore allow for particularly effective fixing of the cladding panels to a modular construction module. Thus, a panel can be carried from the ground, by one or two people, to be suspended on the parapet of a module. Once this cladding panel is suspended, its complete fixing to the module is ensured by simply screwing the lower end of the panel. The installation of the complete fixing of a panel can therefore be carried out in an extremely short time, by one or two operators.

[0065] In certain cases, when the hooks 2 are equipped with screws 231, it is also necessary to adjust the tightening of these screws 231 to remove the play of the hook 2 on the parapet. It should however be noted that such an adjustment may not be necessary on all the cladding panels produced according to the invention.

[0066] Advantageously, to facilitate installation, each panel is sized so that its weight is of the order of 45 kg. It can thus be easily carried by two people. Furthermore, handles 8 can advantageously be provided on the lateral edges of the panel 1, allowing operators to easily carry it to hang its hooks 2 on the parapet of a module. These handles are advantageously made up of portions of straps screwed onto the lateral edges of the panel 1. It should be noted that, when the handles 8 are placed on the lateral edges of the panel 1, they are advantageously placed at different heights to the right and left of the panel 1. Indeed, when several identical panels are juxtaposed, the handles 8 create an excess thickness imposing a space between the lateral edges of the juxtaposed panels.The offset of the height of the handles advantageously makes it possible to avoid the handles of two juxtaposed panels being opposite each other, and allows the space between the edges imposed by the handles 8 to correspond to the thickness of only one of the handles 8, and not of two stacked handles 8.

[0067] If necessary, the handles 8 can be easily unscrewed from the side edges. panels, for example to be screwed back onto the upper edge of panel 1. In this case, these handles can serve as grips for a lifting device lifting the panel into place on a modular construction module.

[0068] The cladding panels according to the invention can be dismantled very easily and quickly from a modular construction module. To do this, it is sufficient to unscrew the screws holding the lower end of the panels against the base of the module, then to lift each panel to unhook its hooks from the parapet of the module. They also leave no detrimental damage on a module on which they have been installed. These panels advantageously have standardized dimensions, they can be immediately reassembled, without modifications, on another module. It should also be noted that the dimensions of the panels are advantageously chosen to allow easy transport of the modules by truck.

[0069] In certain cases, it is useful to carry out the cladding of several modular construction modules stacked on top of each other. It is possible, in this case, to implement a cladding panel according to the invention specifically adapted to stacking several modules.

[0070] Such a panel is represented by [Fig.8]. This panel 9 is advantageously constituted by a first cladding plate 91 identical to the cladding plate 11 of the panel 1, the upper edge of which is equipped with hooks 2. A fixing sheet 92 is fixed to the lower edge of this first cladding plate 91 and protrudes under this plate. The bottom of this sheet is fixed to the upper end of a second cladding plate 93, identical to the first cladding plate 91. Finally, a lower fixing sheet 94, identical to the lower fixing sheet 4 implemented on the panel 1, is fixed to the lower edge of this second cladding plate 93.

[0071] This panel 9 can advantageously be put in place by hooking its hooks 2 to the acroterion of the upper module, then by screwing the fixing sheet 92 and the lower fixing sheet 94 into the structural parts of the modules, for example into their bases or their upper crowns, without drilling the walls of the modules.

[0072] The same principle can of course be implemented for the cladding of a larger number of modules stacked on top of each other.

[0073] The present invention relates to a cladding panel for modular building modules, i.e. a cladding panel which is suitable for installation on a modular building module. Such a cladding panel is, however, covered by the invention even in the situation where it would not be installed on a modular building module. For example, such a cladding panel according to the invention installed on the side wall of a construction which is not a modular building module, but which has a parapet similar to that of the modular building modules, is covered by the present invention, even if modi Minor modifications, for example in dimensions, prevent the direct use of this panel on modular construction modules of the most common dimensions.
