Abstract

A sectional nog structure for fastening a covering element to a foamed plastic slab (5, 6, 35, 39, 49, 54) comprises at least one insert (2, 3), flush-insertable in the slab (5, 6, 35, 39, 49, 54) and associated with a tierod (4), having a base (10) accessible from the outside of the slab and constituting respective means for fastening to the slab (5, 6, 35, 39, 49, 54) the chosen covering element. Advantageously, this sectional nog structure allows to manufacture composite and modular construction elements, such as for example lost formworks and panels incorporating at least one foamed plastic slab and being able to support any covering element.

Claims

1. A construction assembly for manufacturing walls for buildings, comprising:

a pair of plastic slabs spaced by at least one sectional nog for fastening a covering element to at least one of said plastic slabs, said nog comprising;

at least a pair of opposite inserts, made of a heat-insulating material, mutually connected at a predetermined distance by at least one tierod having a substantially smooth outer surface and flush-insertable in said pair of plastic slabs;

adjusting means for adjustably engaging at least one of said inserts on one end of said tierod, so as to axially regulate the position of said at least one insert within said at least one plastic slab; and

cover fastening means for fastening a cover projecting from said at least one of said inserts, said cover fastening means being accessible from an outside surface of said at least one plastic slab for fastening said covering element.

2. A construction assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a plastic net for supporting the cover.

3. A construction assembly according to claim 1, wherein said covering element comprises one of said layer of plaster, cement, non-woven fabric and bitumen.

4. A construction assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of metal reinforcing wires supported by said sectional nog structure between said pair of plastic slabs.

5. A construction assembly according to claim 1, further comprising one of a plaster board, wood and marble covering panel on at least one of said pair of plastic slabs.

6. A construction assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a third plastic slab supported between said pair of plastic slabs.

7. A sectional nog structure for fastening a covering element to a foamed plastic slab, comprising;

at least a pair of opposite inserts, made of a heat-insulating material, mutually connected at a predetermined distance by at least one tierod having a substantially smooth outer surface and flush-insertable in said slab;

adjusting means for adjustably engaging at least one of said inserts on one end of said tierod, so as to axially regulate the position of said at least one insert within said slab; and

cover fastening means for fastening a cover projecting from at least one of said inserts, said cover fastening means being accessible from an outside surface of the slab,

wherein at least one of said inserts comprises a substantially cylindrical portion having a slab fastening means for fastening said insert to said foamed plastic slab, and

wherein said slab fastening means comprises a threaded portion integral with said substantially cylindrical portion.

8. A sectional nog structure for fastening a covering element to a foamed plastic slab, comprising;

at least one insert flush-insertable in said slab;

cover fastening means connected to said at least one insert accessible from an outside surface of the slab, for fastening the covering element to the slab;

a tierod having a first end connectable to said at least one insert and a second end connectable to a bearing element for supporting said slab; and

a slab fastening means for fastening said at least one insert to said slab, wherein said at least one insert comprises a substantially cylindrical portion externally provided with said slab fastening means, and

wherein said slab fastening means comprises a threaded portion integral with said substantially cylindrical portion.
