Abstract

C-channel formed by a web (1), two wings (2) connected to each end of the web (1) and two flanges (3) facing each other at the free ends of the flanges (2), characterized in that the flanges (3) present a series of cutouts (6) that transform the profile from C to U, providing wider open rectangular sections into which the uprights are inserted.

Description

C channel

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a channel with a C cross section for structural systems, which has cutouts made at regular intervals in its length for the placement of studs.

STATE OF THE ART

Multiple types of channels are known that have different cross sections. These channels, which are intended to house the uprights, are usually formed by a profile with a constant cross section over its entire length.

That is why the placement of the uprights requires prior measurements, both in the channels fixed to the ceiling and in those fixed to the floor, which allow the uprights to be placed at the appropriate distances.

The present invention solves this drawback by providing a channel with cutouts made at regular intervals throughout its length for the installation of the studs, so that the placement of the studs is simplified and the positioning is improved.

The applicant does not know of any channel similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a channel according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

a cana e a nvenc n is a per es ruc ura, they prefer a similar resistant material, for its installation mainly as a lower and upper screed.

Said channel is a profile with a C-shaped cross section, with flanges facing each other at the free ends in which cuts are made at regular intervals. These cutouts are long enough to provide a wider opening and allow one end of the studs to be inserted. Thus, they transform the profile from C to U, providing wider open rectangular sections into which the uprights are inserted.

One or more fixing holes, preferably two holes, are arranged in the web of the channel to be able to fix it to the ceiling or the floor. These fixing holes are preferably made in the center line of the web, and can be made in the factory at regular intervals.

Likewise, an alignment hole will be provided in each of the wings of the channel that will allow the alignment of the uprights. This alignment hole will be located on the central axis of the wing cross section and will also be centered with respect to the flange cutout.

This channel with cut-outs in the flanges has several advantages over the channels of the prior art, since it facilitates the installation of the studs without the need to carry out previous measurements, so that the studs can always be installed at the same distance both on the floor as on the ceiling. In addition, it has points to be able to place all the uprights, having to plumb them only once, during the original placement of the channels.

Additionally, it has the advantage of being fully compatible with the traditional U-channel and its cost is very similar.

The channel can be manufactured in different sizes, for example, 3 m, just like current channels and is valid for uprights of different sizes, for example, 45/70/90/125/150.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

Figure 1: View, in cross section, of an embodiment of the C-channel.

Figure 2: Plan view of the C-channel of figure 1.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the channel formed by a C-shaped profile consisting of a core (1), two wings (2) connected to each end of the core (1) and two flanges (3) connected to each one. of the free ends of the wing (2) and facing each other.

In the present exemplary embodiment the web (1) is 48mm long, each of the wings (2) is 32 and 30mm, respectively, and both flanges (3) are 5mm.

In figure 2 it can be seen that the carcass has been cut (6) coincidentally on both tabs. The cutouts (6) of this embodiment are 36mm long and are made at regular intervals, with a 100mm spacing of untrimmed flange. Other dimensions and clearances are possible, depending mainly on the intended use.

In this exemplary embodiment, at the beginning, the carcass has an untrimmed flange in its first 50 mm. Below is the cutout of 36 mm Segu oe mm e weighs sn recorar. In this way, by placing two consecutive channels, the distance is kept at 100 mm.

In both figures 1 and 2 the arrangement of the alignment holes (4) for the alignment of the uprights can be seen.

In figure 1 it can be seen that these alignment holes (4) are, with respect to the cross section, on the center line of the wing (2) and in figure 2 it can be seen that they are located centrally with respect to the cutout ( 6) of the flange (3).

The fixing holes (5) seen in figure 2 are intended to fix the carcass to the floor or ceiling, and in this embodiment these holes (5) are located at the central point of the web (1), with respect to its cross section. In this example the distance between the fixing holes (5) is 200 mm.
