Abstract

The invention relates to a building supporting framework, in particular a high structure supporting framework comprising a certain number of vertical supports ( 2 ) and a certain number of horizontal beams ( 3, 4 ) mutually extending transversal directions (X, Y) and stacked on each other on different planes. The vertical supports are ( 2 ) and the beams ( 3, 4 ) are embodied in the form of metal sections comprising; at least partially; at least one cavity ( 5, 6; 7; 16 ). The cavities ( 5, 6 ) embodied in the vertical support ( ) and the cavities ( 7, 16 ) embodied in the beams ( 3, 4 ) are used for receiving fluid transporting conduits ( 9; 24; 26; 29 ). At intersections, where said vertical supports ( 2 ) and beams ( 3, 4 ) cross each other or converge, they are mutually connected in such a way that the fluid transporting conduits are directed in three spatial directions (X, Y, Z) through the supporting structure ( 1 ), thereby simplifying a building process.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Building supporting framework, in particular a high structure supporting framework, comprising a certain number of vertical supports ( 2 ) and a certain number of horizontal beams ( 3 ,  4 ) mutually extending in transversal directions (X, Y) and stacked on each other on different planes, characterised in that the vertical supports ( 2 ) and also the beams ( 3 ,  4 ) are embodied in the form of metal sections comprising at least partially, at least one cavity ( 5 ,  6 ;  7 ;  16 ), the cavities ( 5 ,  6 ) provided in the vertical supports ( 2 ) and the cavities ( 7 ,  16 ) provided in the beams ( 3 ,  4 ) being used for receiving fluid-transporting conduits ( 9 ;  24 ;  26 ;  29 ), in particular electricity, water, heating/cooling or ventilation conduits, and at intersections, where the vertical supports ( 2 ) and beams ( 3 ,  4 ) cross each other or converge, they are mutually connected in such a way that the fluid-transporting conduits are directed in three spatial directions (X, Y, Z) through the supporting structure ( 1 ). 
   
   
       2 . Supporting framework according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the cavities ( 5 ,  6 ) in the vertical supports ( 2 ) are connected with each other via through-openings ( 20 ;  22 ) in the vertical supports ( 2 ) and/or in the beams ( 3 ,  4 ). 
   
   
       3 . Supporting framework according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the respective vertical support ( 2 ) has an H-shaped cross-section and two side walls ( 2   a ,  2   b ) and also includes a central wall ( 2   c ) linking the side walls ( 2   a ,  2   b ), thus forming two vertical cavities ( 5 ;  6 ) separated from each other by the central wall ( 2   c ), while at the respective intersection, on at least one of the side walls ( 2   a ,  2   b ) are attached a space-enclosing horizontal supporting framework ( 4 ) with an essentially U-shaped cross-section from the outside and at least one further, also space-enclosing horizontal supporting framework ( 3 ) with an essentially U-shaped cross-section at right angles hereto from inside, the horizontally-running cavities ( 7 ;  16 ) partially enclosed by the supporting beam ( 3 ;  4 ), being connected via through-openings ( 20 ;  22 ) in the side walls ( 2   a ,  2   b ) and in the central wall ( 2   c ) of the vertical support ( 2 ) with each other and with the vertically-running cavities ( 5 ;  6 ). 
   
   
       4 . Supporting framework according to  claim 3 , characterised in that outside the intersection, a parallel partially or completely enclosing cover ( 41 ,  42 ) of the vertically-running cavities ( 5 ;  6 ) is provided for the respective central wall ( 2   c ) of the vertical supports ( 2 ). 
   
   
       5 . Supporting framework according to  claim 3 , characterised in that the horizontal supporting beam ( 3 ;  4 ) which has a space-enclosing cross-section is arranged in such a way that the cavities ( 7 ;  16 ) are accessible from above. 
   
   
       6 . Supporting framework according to  claim 5 , characterised in that the horizontal beams ( 3 ;  4 ) are provided with supporting surfaces ( 4   a ′,  4   b ′,  4   d ,  4   e ;  3   a ′,  3   b ′) on which a ceiling or floor construction ( 10 ;  11 ) can be rested, the supporting surfaces ( 4   a ′,  4   b ′,  4   d ,  4   e ;  3   a ′,  3   b ′) being arranged so as to project laterally away from the webs ( 4   a ,  4   b ;  3   a ,  3   b ) of the profile with a space-enclosing cross-section. 
   
   
       7 . Supporting framework according to  claim 6 , characterised in that, with respect to the beams ( 4 ) running parallel in a direction (Y), one pair of upper supporting surfaces ( 4   a ′,  4   b ′) formed by flanges are oriented towards each other and one pair of lower supporting surfaces ( 4   d ,  4   e ) formed by flanges are oriented outwards as an extension of the lower flanges ( 4   c ) connecting the webs ( 4   a ,  4   b ), on which supporting surfaces a ceiling construction ( 10 ) can be rested from both sides. 
   
   
       8 . Supporting framework according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the cavities ( 7 ;  16 ) in the horizontal beams ( 3 ;  4 ) which are open at the top and/or bottom and/or laterally are accessible via coverable frames ( 12 ) which are provided in a floor construction ( 11 ) laid on the ceiling construction ( 10 ). 
   
   
       9 . Supporting framework according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the webs ( 3   a ,  3   b ;  4   a ,  4   b ) of the beams ( 3 ;  4 ) with a space-enclosing cross-section are provided with a number of through-openings ( 30 ;  40 ) distributed along the beam length to connect the cavities ( 7 ;  16 ) with the ceiling construction ( 10 ). 
   
   
       10 . Supporting framework according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the vertical supports ( 2 ) and also the beams ( 3 ;  4 ) are embodied as profiles made from metal, in particular steel, or from another suitable material, such as plastic.
