Description

[0001] Set for constructing a building skeleton

[0002] Technical field

[0003] The present invention relates to a set for constructing a building skeleton. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a building skeleton constructed by means of said set and a method for constructing a building skeleton by means of the set. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for disassembling said building skeleton or a building skeleton constructed according to said method.

[0004] Background art

[0005] From the state of the art different types of sets for constructing a building skeleton are known from for example CN 107338872 A and CN 111962950 A.

[0006] The sets known from the state of the art do however have the disadvantage that they cannot be assembled in a quick and easy manner at a construction site by a construction worker. Hence, constructing a building skeleton at the construction site with such sets is time consuming.

[0007] Such sets also have the disadvantage that a building skeleton constructed by means of the set cannot be disassembled in a quick and easy manner at a construction site by a construction worker. Hence, disassembling a building skeleton constructed with such sets is time consuming.

[0008] Disclosure of the invention

[0009] It is an aim of the present invention to provide a set for constructing a building skeleton in a quick and easy manner. A further aim is to allow for a quick and easy disassembly of a building skeleton constructed by means of the set.

[0010] These aims are achieved according to the present invention with a set for constructing a building skeleton showing the technical characteristics of the first independent claim.

[0011] Therefore, the present invention provides a set for constructing a building skeleton. The set comprises a horizontal building level frame having a first side and a second side. The second side of the horizontal building level frame is opposite of the first side of the horizontal building level frame. The horizontal building level can be either one of a floor and a ceiling, and the horizontal building level frame can thus be either one of a floor frame and a ceiling frame. The horizontal building level frame comprises a plurality of main beams. Support corners are provided between the main beams. At the support corners the horizontal building level frame is to be supported. The horizontal building level frame comprises a corner bracket in each support corner. Each corner bracket connects a first main beam and a second main beam forming the corresponding support corner. Each corner bracket comprises a base plate arranged on the first side of the horizontal building level frame at the corresponding support corner. Each corner bracket comprises a first corner plate and a second corner plate arranged in a corner with respect to each other on one side of the base plate. The first corner plate and the second corner plate are arranged against respectively the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner. Preferably, the first corner plate and the second corner plate are connected to each other. Each of the first corner plate and the second corner plate comprises a plurality of openings. These plurality of openings are divided in a first range of openings and a second range of openings. The first corner plate and the second corner plate are connected, preferably removably connected, to respectively the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner by means of corresponding first connection means through the first range of openings. The set comprises a connection bracket for each support corner. Each connection bracket comprises a base plate having a first side and a second side. The first side of the base plate is opposite of the second side of the base plate. Each connection bracket comprises a first connector plate and a second connector plate arranged in a corner with respect to each other on the first side of the base plate. Each of the first connector plate and the second connector plate is provided with a plurality of openings corresponding to the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of each corner bracket. Each connection bracket comprises a third connector plate on the second side of the base plate comprising at least one opening. The set comprises a support beam for each support corner. Each support beam is provided at a first end with at least one opening corresponding to the at least one opening of the third connector plate of each connection bracket. The first end of the support beam is an end of the support beam in a length direction of the support beam. Preferably, the at least one opening at the first end of the support beam is transverse to the length direction of the support beam. The set comprises second connection means for each support corner. Each second connection means are provided for connecting, preferably removably connecting, the connection bracket for the corresponding support corner to the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner through the openings in respectively the first connector plate and the second connector plate and through the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner. The set comprises third connection means for each support corner. Each third connection means are provided for connecting, preferably removably connecting, the support beam for the corresponding support corner to the connection bracket for the corresponding support corner through the at least one opening in the support beam and through the at least one opening in the third connector plate of the connection bracket for the corresponding support corner.

[0012] The set according to the present invention offers the advantage that a building skeleton can be constructed quickly and easily, for example by a construction worker at a construction site, by arranging each connection bracket in the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame from the second side of the horizontal building level frame with the first connector plate and the second connector plate against respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner, connecting each connection bracket to the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame by means of the corresponding second connection means through the openings in respectively the first connector plate and the second connector plate and through the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner, arranging each support beam at the first end against the third connector plate of the connection bracket in the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame, and connecting each support beam to the third connector plate of the connection bracket in the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame by means of the corresponding third connection means through the at least one opening in the support beam and through the at least one opening in the third connector plate of the connection bracket in the corresponding support corner.

[0013] In the reverse direction the set according to the present invention also offers the advantage of a quick and easy disassembly of a building skeleton constructed with the set, for example by a construction worker at a construction site, for later reuse of the set, by disconnecting each support beam from the third connector plate of the connection bracket in the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame by removing the corresponding third connection means from the at least one opening in the support beam and from the at least one opening in the third connector plate of the connection bracket in the corresponding support corner, and by disconnecting each connection bracket from the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame by removing the corresponding second connection means from the openings in respectively the first connector plate and the second connector plate and from the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner.

[0014] The set according to the present invention also offers the advantage that the set can be transported in a space efficient manner, for example from the manufacturing site to the construction site, by arranging the horizontal building level frame with one of its sides facing downwards in the storage space of a transport means, such as for example a truck, and with the support beams arranged lengthwise on the upwards facing side of the horizontal building level frame. The corner brackets, the connection brackets and the first, second and third connection means take up less space, and can for example be stored within the inner space of the horizontal building level frame.

[0015] In an embodiment of the set according to the present invention each connection bracket is arranged in the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame from the second side of the horizontal building level frame with the first connector plate and the second connector plate against respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner. Each connection bracket is connected, preferably removably connected, to the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame by means of the corresponding second connection means through the openings in respectively the first connector plate and the second connector plate and through the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner.

[0016] This embodiment offers the advantage that the connection brackets are already connected to the horizontal building level frame, such that no time is lost, for example by a construction worker at a construction site, for connecting the connection brackets to the horizontal building level frame. With the connection brackets connected as such to the horizontal building level frame, the horizontal building level frame is still compact to allow for a space efficient transport of the set from the manufacturing site to the construction site.

[0017] In an embodiment of the set according to the present invention each support beam comprises lengthwise a first support beam portion and a second support beam portion. Preferably, the first support beam portion and the second support beam portion are provided for being arranged against opposing sides of the third connector plate of the connection bracket for the corresponding support corner. Preferably, the at least one opening at the first end of the support beam is provided in both the first support beam portion and the second support beam portion.

[0018] This embodiment offers the advantage that depending on the load requirements for the building skeleton a choice can be made between using a single support beam portion for the support beam to have a light-weight building skeleton and using two support beam portions for the support beam to have a heavy-weight building skeleton.

[0019] In an embodiment of the set according to the present invention the second range of openings in the first corner plate and the second corner plate of each corner bracket are positioned more into the corresponding support corner than the first range of openings in the first corner plate and the second corner plate of each corner bracket.

[0020] This embodiment offers the advantage that each connection bracket can be arranged fully into the corresponding support corner of the horizontal building level frame for connecting the connection bracket to the first main beam and the second main beam of the corresponding support corner by means of the corresponding second connection means through the openings in respectively the first connector plate and the second connector plate and through the second range of openings in respectively the first corner plate and the second corner plate of the corner bracket in the corresponding support corner. This provides for a strong connection between the connection bracket, the corner bracket, the first main beam and the second main beam in the corresponding support corner, and further on also with the support beam for the corresponding support corner.

[0051] Modes for carrying out the invention

[0052] The present invention will be described with respect to particular embodiments and with reference to certain drawings but the invention is not limited thereto but only by the claims. The drawings described are only schematic and are non-limiting. In the drawings, the size of some of the elements may be exaggerated and not drawn on scale for illustrative purposes. The dimensions and the relative dimensions do not necessarily correspond to actual reductions to practice of the invention.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms first, second, third and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a sequential or chronological order. The terms are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances and the embodiments of the invention can operate in other sequences than described or illustrated herein.

[0054] Moreover, the terms top, bottom, over, under and the like in the description and the claims are used for descriptive purposes and not necessarily for describing relative positions. The terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances and the embodiments of the invention described herein can operate in other orientations than described or illustrated herein.

[0055] The term “comprising”, used in the claims, should not be interpreted as being restricted to the means listed thereafter; it does not exclude other elements or steps. It needs to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, integers, steps or components as referred to, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps or components, or groups thereof. Thus, the scope of the expression “a device comprising means A and B” should not be limited to devices consisting only of components A and B. It means that with respect to the present invention, the only relevant components of the device are A and B.

[0056] A set 100 according to embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1-3, comprises two horizontal building level frames 110 that are arranged in the same way, and can thus be used interchangeably. The horizontal building level can be either one of a floor and a ceiling, and the horizontal building level frame 110 can thus be used as a floor frame 110, such as the horizontal building level frame 110 shown at the bottom in Figures 2 and 3, or as a ceiling frame 110, such as the horizontal building level frame 110 at the top in Figures 2 and 3.

[0057] The horizontal building level frame 110 comprises four main beams 115 that run around the circumference of the horizontal building level frame 110. At the ends of the main beams 115 corners 117 are formed between the main beams 115, which corners 117 form support corners 117 where the horizontal building level frame 110 is to be supported. In each of the support corners 117, a first main beam 115’ and a second main beam 115” forming the support corner 117 are connected to each other by means corner brackets 120, as can be seen in Figures 4 and 5, and which will be discussed in further detail below.

[0058] In the shown embodiment of the horizontal building level frame 110 the support corners 117 are all located at the circumference of the horizontal building level frame 110. It should however be noted that in alternative embodiments of the horizontal building level frame 110 the support corners 117 may also be provided within the horizontal building level frame 110 between main beams 115 running within the horizontal building level frame 110. This may for example be an option for an horizontal building level frame 110 of a larger size for which more support is needed.

[0059] The horizontal building level frame 110 further comprises secondary beams 116 that connect the main beams 115 to each other within the horizontal building level frame 110, thereby forming further corners 118 between the main beams 115 and secondary beams 116. In these further corners 118, the main beam 115 and the secondary beam 115” forming the further corner 118 are connected to each other by means of conventional corner brackets 119.

[0060] The main beams 115 are provided larger than the secondary beams 116, i.e. the main beams 115 have a larger cross section than the secondary beams 116, such that the main beams 115 are suitable for carrying the loads on the horizontal building level frame 110, whereas the secondary beams 116 are used for further reinforcing the horizontal building level frame 110.

[0061] The main beams 115 and the secondary beams 116 are preferably manufactured of wood, and more preferably laminated wood, to provide a strong horizontal building level frame 110, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments any other suitable material known to the skilled person can be used for the main beams 115 and / or the secondary beams 116, such as for example steel.

[0062] The corner bracket 120 for connecting the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110, as shown for example in Figures 4 and 5, comprises a base plate 121 , a first corner plate 125 and a second corner plate 126. The base plate 121 has a first side 122 and a second side 123 opposite of the first side 122. The first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 are arranged on the first side 122 of the base plate 121 and extend upwards from the base plate 121 , i.e. in a direction transverse to the plane of the base plate 121. The first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 form a corner with respect to each other, which corner corresponds to the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110.

[0063] Each of the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 is provided with a plurality of openings 128, 129 for receiving connection means 151 , 152. These plurality of openings 128, 129 are divided in a first range of openings 128 and a second range of openings 129.

[0064] The first range of openings 128 are located outermost on the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126, i.e. furthest away from the corner formed between the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126.

[0065] In the shown embodiment, the first range of openings 128 are arranged in a rectangular grid in a 4x2 configuration, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments the first range of openings 128 may also be arranged in other configurations, such as for example rectangular grids having a different number of rows and / or columns, or other patterns than a rectangular grid.

[0066] The first range of openings 128 are provided for receiving first connection means 151 for connecting the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 to respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117. The first connection means 151 are preferably screws, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments the first connection means 151 may be any suitable connection means known to the skilled person, such as for example bolts and nuts, or rivets. Preferably, the first connection means 151 are connection means for forming a removable connection, i.e. removable in a non-destructive manner. The latter is beneficial for the disassembly of a building skeleton 200 constructed by means of the set 100 for later reuse.

[0067] To connect the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117, the corresponding corner bracket 120 is arranged in the support corner 117. Thereby, the base plate 121 of the corner bracket 120 is arranged on a first side 111 of the horizontal building level frame 110, the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 are arranged against respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the support corner 117, and the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 are connected to respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the support corner 117 by means of the corresponding first connection means 151 through the first range of openings 128.

[0068] For connecting each of the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 to respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the support corner 117, use is made of four screws as the first connection means 151 which are arranged in a zig-zag pattern through four of the eight openings of the first range of openings 128 in the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120. Although the remaining four openings of the first range of openings 128 in the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 remain unused, this allows for a sufficient strong connection between the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 and the corresponding main beam 115’, 115” forming the support corner 117. It should however be noted that in alternative embodiments also other patterns of the first connection means 151 and / or a different number of the first connection means 151 may be used for connecting the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 and the corresponding main beam 115’, 115” forming the support corner 117 with each other.

[0069] It should be noted that the horizontal building level frame 110 is preferably pre-assembled at the manufacturing site, i.e. with the corner brackets 120 already connecting the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the support corners 117. This allows for a faster construction of a building skeleton 200 by means of the set 100 at a construction site by a construction worker, since the horizontal building level frame 110 is directly ready for use. The second range of openings 129 are located innermost on the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126, i.e. closest to the corner formed between the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126.

[0070] In the shown embodiment, the second range of openings 129 are arranged in a rectangular grid in a 4x2 configuration, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments the second range of openings 129 may also be arranged in other configurations, such as for example rectangular grids having a different number of rows and / or columns, or other patterns than a rectangular grid.

Preferably, the fourth connection means 154 are connection means for forming a removable connection, i.e. removable in a non-destructive manner. The latter is beneficial for the disassembly of a building skeleton 200 constructed by means of the set 100 for later reuse.

[0073] The corner brackets 120 are preferably manufactured of steel, to provide strong corner brackets 120, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments any other suitable material known to the skilled person can be used for the corner brackets 120.

[0074] For supporting the horizontal building level frame 110 at the support corners 117, the set 100 comprises a support beam 140 for each of the support corners 117, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 3, and which support beams 140 will be described in further detail below. For connecting the support beams 140 to the horizontal building level frame 110 the set 100 comprises a connection bracket 130 for each of the support corners 117.

[0075] The connection bracket 130 for connecting a support beam 140 to the horizontal building level frame 110, as shown for example in Figures 6-9, comprises a base plate 131 , a first connector plate 135, a second connector plate 136 and a third connector plate 138. The base plate 131 has a first side 132 and a second side 133 opposite of the first side 132. The first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 are arranged on the first side 132 of the base plate 131 and extend upwards from the base plate 131 , i.e. in a direction transverse to the plane of the base plate 131. The first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 form a corner with respect to each other, which corner corresponds to the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110 and to the corresponding corner formed between the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corresponding corner bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110. The third connector plate 138 is arranged on the second side 133 of the base plate 131 and extend downwards from the base plate 131 , i.e. in a direction transverse to the plane of the base plate 131 and opposite to the direction of the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136.

[0076] Each of the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 is provided with a plurality of openings 137 for receiving the second connection means 152 for connecting the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 first to respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 and subsequently to respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117, as can be seen in Figures 6 and 7. Therefore, the plurality of openings 137 in the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 correspond to the second range of openings 129 in respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corresponding corner bracket 120.

[0077] Hence, in the shown embodiment the plurality of openings 137 in the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 are also arranged in a rectangular grid in a 4x2 configuration such as the second range of openings 129 in respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corresponding corner bracket 120. Thereby, it should be noted that the bottom row of the 5x2 rectangular grid of openings in the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136, i.e. the row of the two openings 137 closest to the base plate 131 of the connection bracket 130, is not used for the purpose of connecting to the cornet bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 and to the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117, and may even be omitted.

[0078] To connect the connection bracket 130 to the corner bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110 and to the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117, the connection bracket 130 is first arranged in the support corner 117 from a second side 112 of the horizontal building level frame 110 opposite of the first side 111 of the horizontal building level frame 110. Thereby, the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 are arranged against respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 with the plurality of openings 137 in the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 aligned with the second range of openings 129 in respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120, and the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 are connected to respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 and to respectively first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117 by means of the second connection means 152 through the plurality of openings in respectively the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 and through the second range of openings 139 in respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120. In this arrangement, the base plate 131 of the connection bracket 130 is located at the second side 112 of the horizontal building level frame 110, and the third connector plate 138 extends from the base plate 131 of the connection bracket 130 in a direction transverse to and away from the horizontal building level frame 110.

[0079] For connecting each of the first connector plate 135 and the second connector plate 136 of the connection bracket 130 to respectively the first corner plate 125 and the second corner plate 126 of the corner bracket 120 and to respectively the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the support corner 117, use is made of four screws as the second connection means 152, which are arranged in a zig-zag pattern through four of the eight openings 139 in the corresponding connector plate 135, 136 of the connection bracket 130 and through four of the eight openings of the second range of openings 129 in the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120. Although the remaining four openings 139 in the corresponding connector plate 135, 136 of the connection bracket 130 and the remaining four openings of the second range of openings 129 in the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 remain unused, this allows for a sufficient strong connection between the corresponding connector plate 135, 136 of the connection bracket 130, the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 and the corresponding main beam 115’, 115” forming the support corner 117. It should however be noted that in alternative embodiments also other patterns of the second connection means 152 and / or a different number of the second connection means 152 may be used for connecting the corresponding connector plate 135, 136 of the connection bracket 130, the corresponding corner plate 125, 126 of the corner bracket 120 and the corresponding main beam 115’, 115” forming the support corner 117 with each other.

[0080] It should be noted that the connection brackets 130 are preferably already connected to the horizontal building level frame 110 in this manner at the manufacturing site. This allows for a faster construction of a building skeleton 200 by means of the set 100 at a construction site by a construction worker, since the horizontal building level frame 110 with the connected connection brackets 130 is directly ready for use.

[0081] The third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 is provided with two openings 139 for receiving third connection means 153 for connecting the third connector plate 138 to a support beam 140 of the set 100, as can be seen in Figures 8 and 9, and as will be described in further detail below. It should be noted that in alternative embodiments the third connector plate 138 may also be provided with a smaller or larger amount of such openings 139 for this purpose.

[0082] The third connection means 153 are preferably bolts and nuts, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments the third connection means 153 may be any suitable connection means known to the skilled person, such as for example screws or rivets. Preferably, the third connection means 153 are connection means for forming a removable connection, i.e. removable in a nondestructive manner. The latter is beneficial for the disassembly of a building skeleton 200 constructed by means of the set 100 for later reuse.

[0083] The connection brackets 130 are preferably manufactured of steel, to provide strong connection brackets 130, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments any other suitable material known to the skilled person can be used for the connection brackets 130.

[0084] Each support beam 140 of the set 110 is provided at a first end 141 in its length direction with two openings 145 transverse to the length direction of the support beam 140, as can be seen in Figures 2, 3, 8 and 9. The two openings 145 at the first end 141 of the support beam 140 are provided for receiving the third connection means 153 for connecting the support beam 140 to the third connector plate 138 of the corresponding connection bracket 130, and as such to the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110 if the corresponding connection bracket 130 is connected, as described above, to the corner bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 of the horizontal building level frame 110 and to the first main beam 115’ and the second main beam 115” forming the corresponding support corner 117. Therefore, the two openings 145 at the first end 141 of the support beam 140 correspond to the two openings 139 in the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130.

[0085] The support beam 140 comprises lengthwise a first support beam portion 148 and a second support beam portion 149, as can be seen in Figures 2, 3, 8 and 9. Dividing the support beam 140 in two separate support beam portions 148, 149 offers the advantage that depending on the load requirements for a building skeleton 200 to be constructed by means of the set 100 a choice can be made between using a single support beam portion 148, 149 as the support beam 140 to have a light-weight building skeleton 200 suitable for smaller loads and using two support beam portions 148, 149 as the support beam 140 to have a heavy-weight building skeleton 200 suitable for larger loads. It should however be noted that in alternative embodiments the support beam 140 may also be provided as a single part, for example in the shape of single support beam portion 148, 149 or in the shape of the first support beam portion 148 and the second support beam portion 149 combined to a single beam in one piece.

[0086] To connect the support beam 140 to the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130, the support beam 140 is arranged at the first end 141 against the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 with the two openings 145 at the first end 141 of the support beam 140 aligned with the two openings 139 in the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130. Thereby, the first support beam portion 148 is arranged at the first end 141 against one side of the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130, and the second support beam portion 149 is arranged at the first end 141 against the opposite side of the third connector plate 138. Then, the support beam 140 is connected to the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 by means third connection means 153 through the two openings 145 in the support beam 140, i.e. in both the first support beam portion 148 and the second support beam portion 149, and through the two openings 139 in the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130.

[0087] Preferably, at least one of the first support beam portion 148 and the second support beam portion 149 is provided at the first end 141 with a recess 143 for receiving the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130, such as shown for the first support beam portion 148. In this way, the first support beam portion 148 and the second support beam portion 149 can be arranged and supported against each other along their length without a gap between them when the first support beam portion 148 and the second support beam portion 149 are arranged against the opposing sides of the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 as described above. The support beam 140 as a single piece is preferably also provided with a recess 143 for receiving the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130, such that the support beam 140 is arranged against opposing sides of the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 when the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 is received in said recess 143.

[0088] The support beams 140 are preferably manufactured of wood, and more preferably laminated wood, to provide strong support beams 140, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments any other suitable material known to the skilled person can be used for the support beams 140, such as for example steel.

[0089] Each support beam 140 is provided at a second end 142, opposite of the first end 141 in its length direction, in the same way as at the first end 141. Meaning that the support beam 140 is provided at the second 142 also with at least the recess 143 for receiving the third connector plate 138 of the connection bracket 130 and with two openings 145 for receiving the third connection means 153. In this way two similarly arranged horizontal building level frames 110 can be connected to opposing ends 141 , 142 of the support beams 140 by means of corresponding connection brackets 130 to form a base module 210 of a building skeleton 200, as shown in Figure 3.

[0090] To form a building skeleton 200, such base modules 210 can be arranged next to each other, such as shown in Figure 12, and also on top of each other, such as shown in Figure 11 and 12. When two of such building base modules 210 are arranged on top of each other, a building level is formed between the base modules 210 which comprises two horizontal building level frames 110 stacked on top of each other, which provides a stronger building level. Thereby, these base modules 210 are connected to each other via the base plates 121 of the corner brackets 120 in the corresponding support corners 117 of the two horizontal building level frames 110 that are stacked on top of each other, as will be detailed below.

[0091] To realise this connection the bottom horizontal building level frame 110 for the upper base module 210, i.e. the upper horizontal building level frame 110, is arranged on the top horizontal building level frame 110 of the lower base module 210, i.e. the lower horizontal building level frame 110, with the first side 111 of the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and the first side 111 of the lower horizontal building level frame 110 facing each other, and with the support corners 117 of the upper horizontal building level frame 110 aligned with the corresponding support corners 117 of the lower horizontal building level frame 110. Then, at each support corner 117 of the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and at each corresponding support corner 117 of the lower horizontal building level frame 110 the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and the lower horizontal building level frame 110 are connected to each other by means of the corresponding fourth connection means 153 through the opening 124 in the base plate 121 of the corner bracket 120 in the support corner 117 of the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and through the opening 124 in the base plate 121 of the corner bracket 120 in the corresponding support corner 117 of the lower horizontal building level frame 110.

[0092] In further embodiments the set 100 may further comprise damping elements (not shown) provided for being arranged between the main beams 115 of the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and the lower horizontal building level frame 110 when the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and the lower horizontal building level frame 110 are connected to each other as described above. The damping elements are beneficial for damping the transmission of vibrations and sound between the upper horizontal building level frame 110 and the lower horizontal building level frame 110 in the building skeleton 200. The damping elements are preferably manufactured of rubber, but it should be noted that in alternative embodiments any other suitable material for this purpose known to the skilled person can be used for the damping elements.

[0093] Finally, it should be noted that Figure 1 shows how the set 100 can be stored in a space efficient manner for transport, for example from a manufacturing site to a construction site. Thereby, the two horizontal building level frames 110, with the connection brackets 130 connected thereto, are arranged on top of each other with their second sides 112 facing each other. The support beams 140 are arranged between the two horizontal building level frames 110. The third connection means 153 and the fourth connection means 154 are arranged on the support beams 140, or may be arranged somewhere else within the inner space of the horizontal building level frames 110.
