Definitions
- the criteria for the ideal housing structure to meet the above need include: utilization of materials that a re low cost & easily available; a structure that is easily and quickly erected, substantial, & attractive; utilization of minimal amount of labor with minimal skill levels; low cost; minimal construction time; utilization of low-cost construction equipment which is easily used, easily maintained, easily transported, & easily repaired.
- the prior art includes numerous examples of attempts to fulfill these objectives, all of which are subject to numerous deficiencies.
- the following is a summary of the prior art related to methods and apparatus for the construction of low cost structures: a.
- the International Basic Economy Corporation's system in Puerto Rico used a huge integral steel form to cast all the walls of the house integrally.
- the floor slab was poured.
- reinforcing bars for the walls were assembled, and tied in place.
- a huge crane set the steel form (consisting of an outside wall and an inside wall, between which the concrete was poured) in place on the slab.
- the concrete was poured, and vibrated to eliminate air pockets. Days later, the huge form was stripped away by the huge crane, cleaned, & set in place to pour the next house.
- the problems with this system include: long cycle time per house, the use of a very expensive steel form, a requirement for vibrating the concrete, a huge crane needed, many laborers needed - including highly - skilled & expensive crane operator, foreman, & engineer; a need to use reinforcing bars; and a need to assemble & tie the reinforcing bars all in place.
- Another example of a building system utilizes re-usable steel or aluminum form panels, which are used to support the inner and outer surfaces of the concrete walls as they a re poured.
- the problems with this system include: a relatively large amount of labor to assemble in place; a need for stripping and cleaning the panels after each use; the need for disassembling of the panels after each use, and the need for vibrating of the concrete to prevent airpockets.
- a building system uses tilt-up construction where the floor is used as the form for the casting of wall and roof slabs, wh i ch are then tilted up into position.
- the problems with this system include: long cycle time per house; corner posts have to be formed & cast to hold the walIs together in the four corners of the house; and getting the roof slab on top of the walls takes substantial effort.
- Another building system utilizes pre-cast concrete parts.
- the problems with this system include: major investment required to establish a casting plant; cracking & breaking of pre-cast parts between factory and final assembly; substantial effort is required to seal the pre-cast parts into an integral structure; cost of assembly & operating a truck to deliver the parts from the factory to the building sites. e. Still another building utilizes a spray-on structure. Problems with this system result from the igloo shape of the structure.
- the present invention provides a novel method and apparatus for the construction of low cost structures.
- the invention provides a novel, synergistic system, which includes a combination of two or more of the following elements, to provide a better, faster and cheaper structure, which overcomes the problems of prior art.
- a. SPRAY MEANS For purposes of illustration only, spray equipment as manufactured by Allentown Pneumatic Gun Company may be utilized.
- SPRAY MATERIAL For purposes of illustration, a standard shotcrete composition of cement, sand, and limited amount of water or sprayable plastics such as urethane foam or other composition material having the necessary characteristics to form sections or structure may be used.
- FOAMING AGENT - A foaming agent may be used to decrease the amount of sprayed material used, to provide a better thermal barrier and lighten the weight of the s t ructure.
- the use of a foaming agent reduces the weigh of both the roof and the walls since a lighter roof requires chinner supporting walls beneath it. Also, the entire structure (floor &roof too) needs less concrete.
- HOLLOW BALLS Hollow balls may be used to achieve the immediately above results, and also to constitute a cosmetic wall treatment.
- COLORING AGENT - A coloring agent may be used to color the sprayed material. f.
- ADD ITIVES - Special purpose additives may be used optionally for purposes such as: insect-repelling, fire retardation, binders, low-cost bulk providers (such as clay, soil, etc.), dryers, accelerators, and super-plasticizers.
- STRENGTHENERS - Strengtheners such as metal, plastic or glass fibers (which may be coated to resist alkali), or other material, such as welded wire mesh, whose presence eliminates or minimizes the need for adding reinforcements to the structure, may be utilized.
- BALLOON A custom-constructed balloon having the dimensions and shape of the inside, or outside, of the desired strucure, wh i ch is easily and quickly inflatable and deflatable, made of a lightweight and inexpensive material, may be utilized.
- INTERNAL STRUCTURES Some strictures inside the balloon, to conform the balloon to the desired shape (flat, straight, vertical walls) may be utilized.
- EXTERNAL STRICTURES Strictures outside the balloon, to conform the balloon to the desired shape (flat, straight, vertical walls) may be utilized.
- APERTURE BUMPS - Aperture bumps may be provided on the balloon, which are then sprayed with material on the side of the bump perpendicular to the body of the balloon, but not on the large surface of the bump parallel to the balloon - to leave openings for doors and windows.
- the bumps can be integral with the balloon, or attachable at any chosen location.
- the bumps can be inflated from the inside of the balloon, or independently inflated.
- the bumps can protrude sufficiently from the balloon surface to form an aperture all the way through the wall, or the bumps can be sufficiently shallow so that they merely form an indent on the inside of the wall of the strucure (with no opening from the inside to the outside of the wall of the structure) - for a closet, bookcase, or (with or without an external balloon) a bay window.
- MULTI-LAYER SECTIONS - Multi-layer construction may be utilized for walls, roofs, floors, or ceilings.
- Plastic foam because of all the air spaces therein, is a better thermal barrier than concrete.
- plastic foam has problems: while it is not feed for insects, they will burrow into it to make a home; sunlight deteriorates the plastic foam; plastic foam is combustible. So, to overcome these problems, plastic foam is used in a tri-layer configuration, with concrete on each side of it, or interspersed throughout the matrix.
- HEIGHT GUIDES - Height guides in accordance with the invention are small, Eiffel Tower-shaped objects which are adhesively attached to the balloon. The spray hosema ⁇ sprays up to the tip of the height guides to get the proper material thickness.
- each layer is marked on the height guide.
- TEXTURED SURFACES Textured surfaces are easily achieved on the surface of the sprayed structural material by texturing the surface of the balloon (or balloon cover) on which the material is sprayed.
- the exterior wall can be textured to a stucco pattern, a brick pattern, or whatever texture is desirable, by dealing with the exterior surface before it hardens, or by adding another layer, which latter layer is then textured, or by using an external textured balloon.
- WINDOW FRAMES - Reusable frames may be provided, which are tapered for easy removal, and attached (adhesively) to the balloon.
- TIE DOWNS - Tie downs are provided, if needed, because of the tendency of the balloon to provide a wall that curves inward at the floor level instead of making a vertical, right angle with the floor, q. ROOF -
- the form of the roof has many options. The simplest is the dome, whose curvature is continuous with the vertical walls. Another option is to place supporting rods, protruding over the tops of the walls. A thin sheet of any membrane can be stretched across the supporting rods, and the building material can be sprayed over them, to form roof eaves of the desired thickness. Height guides can be employed on the eave-support i ng rods .
- r. SEPARATE ROOF A separate roof can be employed.
- "RUN-OFF" Rainfall runoff may require that the floor slab extends beyond the eaves, so that heavy rain does not wash away the earth from under the structure.
- t. FLOOR Provision of a floor in the structure is optional. In some cultures an earthen floor is desired. Floors are sometimes more economically poured than sprayed. Pouring also makes it easier to screed a smooth surface.
- REINFORCEMENT The use of reinforcement is optional. Before a floor slab is poured, it is possible to insert vertically-oriented reinforcing rods at intervals into the earth, to tie the walls (when they are put in place, later) to the floor.
- a frame can be built of metal or wood or other material, placed outside of the balloon, and sprayed over when the structure is formed. This last system is applicable in the case of a separate roof, or a second floor.
- w. WATER TANK - A water tank may be provided in the form of an open, flower pot-shaped addition to the roof, and resting directly over a wall (because of the great weight of the water,) to furnish water under some pressure to the residents.
- PLUMBING - Plumbing of the structure can be spaced from the side of the balloon, and sprayed within the wall, or attached later, to the room side of the completed wall.
- y. ELECTRICAL WIRING - Electrical wiring can be put in place outside the balloon, and sprayed integrally into the wall, or added later to the inside of the structure.
- a horizontal baseboard Strip, prefab ricated wiring panel, is usable.
- FILLERS- Fillers such as soil, clay, refuse, broken glass, metal scrap, chopped auto tires, low-cost local material, bulk producers, etc. - all of which provide structural material at minimal cost, may be utilized.
- GAS BUBBLES Gas bubbles may be beaten into (like a malted milk), blown into (as with compressed air, or other gas), or otherwise delivered into the structural material.
- FLATTENERS A variety of flatteners to provide flat surfaces to the structure may be utilized such as: stretching the membrane over a frame; reinforcing with a stiff webbing; use of panels (of metal, plastic, glass, corrugated cardboard, honeycomb,or other sheet) that are extruded or rolled or cast or embossed with a pattern; mesh; placing panels or sheets on a supporting structure - such as an internal or external balloon with or without a supporting structure; or without a balloon; and using a material such as duct tape to smoothly hold flat surfaces and bumps and frames, etc.; and using col laps ible-and- extensible apparatus, such as Archimedes scissors to support and flatten the balloon surfaces.
- PATTERNED SHEETS Patterned sheets, which can be generated by embossed tooling (which can be rollers, molds, stamps, etc.) may be used, with or without self-ribbing (for stiffness); and, with or without a supporting balloon or other structure, can be used to give a pattern to the material sprayed on the surface.
- HARDENERS - Soil hardeners which permit the use of low, or no cost, indigenous materials such as soil or clay may be utilized to enable the soil or clay to form solid, durable building materials.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost building structure incorporating a multi-layer construction.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost structure utilizing a single-sided form on which protuberances are provided to form door and window apertures.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a low-cost structure which uses a sprayable bui ld ⁇ ng material.

Abstract
Procédé et appareil permettant la construction d'une structure de bâtiment peu coûteuse grâce à la composition synergique d'une conception de matériau, de procédé et de structure. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, on utilise un ballon (14), confectionné spécialement et ayant la forme d'une maison, comme forme mono-face, sur lequel on pulvérise une formulation de matériau de construction. La formulation de construction peut comprendre un matériau structural, un matériau de renforcement tel que des fibres (52) afin d'éliminer ou de réduire au minimum un renforcement structural séparé, une matière à bulles gazeuses (afin d'assurer l'isolation thermique), ainsi que d'autres ingrédients tels que charges, renforçateurs, agents de remplissage, accélérateurs, agents colorants et produits desséchants. On peut réaliser la structure rapidement, gonfler et retirer le ballon (14) en un minimum de temps, deux hommes suffisant pour tout faire. Le faible coût de la main d'oeuvre, des matériaux et de l'équipement utilisés selon la présente invention se traduit par un procédé de construction plus économique que tout autre procédé connu à ce jour.
