Solution Overview

Problem

The assembly of base end plaster profiles to create a finishing edge for external plaster is cumbersome, requiring precise attachment to insulation layers of varying thicknesses, and existing solutions do not allow for easy on-site adjustments or secure mounting.

Innovation Solution

A base end plaster profile arrangement with a mounting web that can be easily cut to length using available tools, featuring a wave profile for secure attachment and an inert connection through perforations in the connecting web, which allows for immediate plaster application with enhanced weather protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the base end plaster profile is securely attached to the insulation layer, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the assembly process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting web and connecting web are merged into a single integrated base end plaster profile component. This integration eliminates the need for separate attachment operations, allowing the profile to be installed in one piece while maintaining secure mounting through the combined functionality of both webs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting web is pre-formed with the appropriate geometry and attachment features during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation of the mounting structure eliminates the need for complex on-site assembly operations, as the profile arrives ready for direct installation onto the insulation layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting web is designed to accommodate different insulation thicknesses, then the adaptability is improved, but the mounting precision becomes more difficult to ensure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to insulation thicknessVSAvoidmounting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting web is designed with flexible geometric characteristics that allow it to adapt to varying insulation thicknesses. The web can be compressed or extended within certain limits, enabling the same profile design to accommodate different insulation layers while maintaining proper mounting precision through elastic deformation rather than requiring multiple precision-manufactured variants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting web's effective length and compression characteristics are designed to change based on the insulation thickness. By allowing the mounting parameter (compression distance) to vary with insulation thickness, the system maintains reliable mounting across different applications without requiring precise manufacturing tolerances for each specific thickness variant.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the base end plaster profile is inclined at ≥ 90° to create a water path, then the weather protection is improved, but the assembly ease is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweather protectionVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting web and the plaster-receiving leg are merged into a single continuous component with an integrated inclined geometry. This combination allows the profile to be installed in one piece while automatically forming the water-path creating inclination, eliminating the need for separate angling operations and simplifying assembly while maintaining weather protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A house has a sub-soil cellar structure and a super-surface structure together forming an outer wall with an interface. The external interface between the two parts of the structure have a plinth profile consisting essentially of a small L-shaped profile back-to-back with a large L-shaped profile embedded in the plaster rendering.
