Abstract

The flood protection system for houses comprises frames (1, 2) made from extruded aluminum profiles. These are fitted around the windows and doors with foam seals between their outer edges and the walls. Hollow box-profiles (3, 4) fit into the frames to seal the windows and doors against flood water.

Description

1.) Object of the invention:

In of today's climate change and climate change the associated new technical challenges the forces of nature are solutions demanded to protect our property, our belongings.

The same applies to building economic enterprises, as well as buildings of all public and especially social Institutions.

These new effects of natural forces threaten us primarily Coastal regions, on rivers and in lowlands.

flood and floods, as well as storms, Hurricane, etc. are increasingly causing damage in previously unimaginable Extent.

Our At the same time, however, technical development is increasingly offering us an opportunity optimal early warning system, that enables us to take appropriate protective measures in good time. Escape and that Connected chaos can only be the last resort.

Public Auxiliary equipment is, in the current increasing profile of requirements, quickly overwhelmed. The permanent provision as sufficient as possible capacities is not economically achievable. The cost of materials and the personnel costs for Coordination and transport of protective materials would be economic not portable. Furthermore, they are common traditional protective measures, through the change the threatening forces of nature, as if Goliath against the Giant fights.

conclusion for building protection, So for the protection of property and not least for the protection of body and Life:

• 1. möglichst sicher den neuen Herausforderungen standhalten
• 2. Materialien entwickelt werden, die einfach am Bedarfsort gelagert werden können
• 3. auf einfachste Art und Weise muss es jedermann möglich sein, im Vorwarnzeitraum, die entsprechenden Massnahmen umzusetzen
• 4. ein und dasselbe System muss geeignet sein, Schutz vor Hochwasser, bzw. Überschwemmungen geringeren Aussmasses zu bieten, gleichzeitig aber durch Ergänzung widerstandsfähig gegen Stürme (Hurricane etc.) und grösseres Hochwasser zu sein. Ein Faktor der neueren Erkenntnis ist dabei die Gefahr der Schäden durch Treibgut im Wasser und ”herumfliegende” Gegenstände bei aller Art von Stürmen.
• 5. kostengünstig sind und ggf. öffentlich oder/und versicherungstechnisch bezuschusst werden können.

It must be developed suitable protective mechanisms that

• 1. Withstand the new challenges as safely as possible
• 2. Materials are developed that can be easily stored on demand
• 3. In the simplest possible way, everyone must be able to implement the appropriate measures during the warning period
• 4. one and the same system must be able to provide protection against floods or floods of lesser scale, but at the same time be resistant to storms (hurricanes, etc.) and greater floods by supplementation. A factor of recent knowledge is the risk of damage by flotsam in the water and "flying around" objects in all types of storms.
• 5. are cost-effective and may be subsidized publicly or / and underwriting.

2.) Technical implementation

• 1. Ein Rahmensystem aus Aluminiumprofilen wird, auf einer dem Fassadenuntergrund entsprechenden Dichtung, am Aussenmauerwerk, oder entsprechender Konstruktion, befestigt. Diese, ständig am Objekt verbleibenden, Alu-Profile können in die Fassadengestaltung optisch einbezogen werden, auch z. B. durch gewünschte Kunststoffbeschichtung.
• 2. Abschottungselemente, die vor Ort gelagert sind, bestehend aus Aluminium-Profilen, die dem Wasserdruck und der Gefahr durch Treibgut und herumfliegende Gegenstände Stand halten.

The invention developed here is based on two different components:

• 1. A frame system made of aluminum profiles shall be fixed to the exterior masonry or equivalent construction on a gasket corresponding to the façade base. These, constantly remaining on the object, aluminum profiles can be visually incorporated into the facade design, also z. B. by desired plastic coating.
• 2. Partition elements, which are stored on site, consisting of aluminum profiles that withstand the pressure of water and the danger of flotsam and flying objects.

The Dimensions and combination of components 1 and 2 are designed to that the foreclosure elements are easily inserted into the existing frame can be.

At the building side Flank of the frame profiles and the partition elements are hollow chamber sealing profiles (comparable with seals around a car door) angeortnet, to protect against flooding.

The Partition elements consist of hollow aluminum profiles (static stiffened), which flooded quite and wanted at high tide be used to prevent "flogging".

Because as described are the sealing profiles of the frame and the foreclosure profiles on the building side flank.

simultaneously the profiles are constructed in such a way that not only by weight, but also by increasing water pressure, the seals always stronger to the other profile and in the corner areas against each other, be pressed.

Since the foreclosure elements in standard heights, z. B. 250 mm, it is possible to produce different security levels:
In an expected flood, z. B. 1 m, 5 elements (ie for 1.25 m) could be inserted in front of doors and gates. Higher-lying windows were disregarded.

In case of uncertain situation, as precaution, or in case of sorrows, all facade openings can be complete be sealed off.

The Frame profiles attached to the building are mounted, are mitred cut.

To the light insertion of the partition elements (height eg 250 mm) are in the appropriate place Recesses in the outer Profile legs, of z. B. 280 mm, provided after insertion The elements are closed with a simple, pre-assembled latch become.

In the case Close to each other building openings, is a Rahmenprofildoppelelment intended to simplify matters.

3.) manufacturing practice

The industrial prefabrication of the individual components is extremely easy. Aluminum extrusions will be in the largest possible lengths produced and the Gebäudeaufmass cut to length accordingly while cutting miter.

In the intended opening grooves become hollow chamber sealing profiles (similar to the window construction) pressed or confiscated.

• Nr. 1) umlaufendes Rahmenprofil mit Bohrungen am Befestigungsflansch und eingebautem Dichtungsprofil. Auf Wunsch kunststoffbeschichtet. Zur Aufnahme der Abschottungselemente.
• Nr. 2) Rahmenprofil wie vor, jedoch als Doppelelement zum direkten Anschluss weiterführender Abschottungselemente. (siehe hierzu auch Anlage 1)
• Nr. 3) Abschottungselement zum Einlegen in umlaufendes Rahmenprofil. Materialdicke, Art und Anzahl der Versteifungen entsprechend der unterschiedlichen Standartabmessungen. Vorschlag hier für grössere Öffnungsbreiten z. B. d = 70 mm, h = 250 mm Für kleinere Öffnungen (Fenster, einfache Türen) ist eine Elementdicke von ca. 30 mm denkbar.
• Nr. 4) Am Fusspunkt von Tür-/Tordurchdringungen ist der Einbau des Rahmenprofils Nr. 1) nicht ratsam.
• Hierfür ist dieses Abschottungs Basiselement Nr. 4) konzipiert. Der untere, waagerechte Schenkel presst die geschmeidige Holkammerprofildichung Nr. 6.) gegen den ggf. leicht unebenen Untergrund, zur Erzielung grösstmöglicher Dichtigkeit. Nicht nur das Eigengewicht des Elementes, sondern besonders auch die Profilierung der oberen Abschottungselemente, erhöhen den Anpressdruck der Dichtung bei zunehmendem Hochwasserdruck.
• Nr. 5) Dieses Hohlkammer-Dichtungsprofil ist einerseits gebäudeseitig in dem umlaufenden Rahmenprofil Nr. 1) bzw. Nr. 2) vorgesehen, andererseits aber auch horizontal im Abschottungselement Nr. 3), am Fusspunkt, gebäudeseitig. Nochmals sei hier erwähnt, dass durch die Anordnung dieses eingesetzten Dichtungsprofiles an beiden Alu-Elementen und deren Formgebung, bei zunehmendem Flut-/Hochwasserdruck die Dichtungswirkung erhöht.
• Nr. 6) Dieses Hohlkammer-Dichtungsprofil ist speziell für den Einsatz am Fusspunkt des Abschottungs Basiselementes Nr. 4) konzipiert. Beschreibung siehe dort.

The basic types are as described in the annexes:

• No. 1) circumferential frame profile with holes on the mounting flange and built-in sealing profile. Plastic coated on request. For holding the partitioning elements.
• No. 2) Frame profile as before, but as double element for direct connection of secondary partitioning elements. (see also Annex 1)
• No. 3) Partitioning element for insertion into a surrounding frame profile. Material thickness, type and number of stiffeners according to the different standard dimensions. Proposal here for larger opening widths z. B. d = 70 mm, h = 250 mm For smaller openings (windows, single doors) an element thickness of approx. 30 mm is conceivable.
• No. 4) At the bottom of door / gate penetrations it is not advisable to install frame profile no. 1).
• For this purpose, this bulkhead base element no. 4) is designed. The lower, horizontal leg presses the supple Holkammerprofildichung No. 6) against the possibly slightly uneven ground, to achieve the greatest possible tightness. Not only the weight of the element, but also the profiling of the upper foreclosure elements, increase the contact pressure of the seal with increasing high water pressure.
• No. 5) This hollow chamber sealing profile is provided on the building side in the peripheral frame profile no. 1) or no. 2), but also horizontally in the partition element no. 3), at the foot point, building side. Again, it should be mentioned here that increases the sealing effect by the arrangement of this sealing profile used on both aluminum elements and their shape, with increasing flood / high pressure.
• No. 6) This hollow chamber sealing profile is specially designed for use at the base of the bulkhead base element no. 4). Description see there.

In the other plants, 6-9, are mounting situations for illustrated the use of the aforementioned foreclosure system.

Note: For inaccessible (basement) windows The same system can also be mounted from the inside. The additional Contact pressure of the water on the seals is eliminated, but the dead weight the foreclosure elements and the compressed shape of the hollow chamber profiles achieve the desired Effect.

Either from the horizontal and vertical cuts, as well as the requirement with different facade penetrations such as windows, doors / gates, lying separately or directly next to each other, the simplicity of the Detect overall system.

Accordingly low is also the cost of production.
