Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT A wall unit which is included in an exterior wall in a house and has both load-bearing and heat-insulating functions. The wall unit consists of a slab of insulating material to a height of more than one storey. Studs are arranged in the slab and are firmly united with it. The wall unit is adapted for extending as an unbroken unit as an outer wall above the ground floor structure and also as building footing below the floor structure and down below ground level. The bottom of wall unit is carried by a horizontal Z-beam fixed to the building foundations. A suitable illustration is Figure 1.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A wall unit included in an outer wall in a house and having both load-bearing and heat-insulating func-tions, said wall unit comprising a slab of insulating material to a height of more than one storey, studs rigidly united with the insulating slab, said wall unit extending as an unbroken unit to form an exterior wall above a bottom floor structure and also as a building footing thereunder down to the ground level, the studs being extended substantially to the full height of the insulation slab and the wall unit being carried at its bottom edge by a horizontal beam fixed to the foundation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A wall unit included in an outer wall in a house and having both load-bearing and heat-insulating func-tions, said wall unit comprising a slab of insulating material to a height of more than one storey, studs rigidly united with the insulating slab, said wall unit extending as an unbroken unit to form an exterior wall above a bottom floor structure and also as a building footing thereunder down to the ground level, the studs being extended substantially to the full height of the insulation slab and the wall unit being carried at its bottom edge by a horizontal beam fixed to the foundation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
117 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 1, in which the bottom edge of the insulating slab has a slot which runs through or in edge contact with the studs for fixing coaction between the slab and the studs and an upwardly directed edge flange on the horizontal beam, with the bottom ends of the studs bearing directly or via an intermediate element on a horizontal, outwardly directed bottom flange of the beam, which has the upwardly directed edge flange, and the top edge of the slab has a slot, said slot being adapted for fixing coaction between the slab, studs and a downwardly directed leg on an angle section having the function of a wall plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 2, in which the top edge of the slab has a slot through the studs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, which extends below ground level.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, in which the studs are on the inside of the insulating slab, said slab has recesses and is made of styrene cellular plas-tics and the studs are made of multiply laminate and glued to the bottoms and sides of the recesses in the slab.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 1, in which the slab downwardly and on its exterior accommodates exterior damp-insulating and surface-protecting cladding, at least below ground level.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A wall unit as claimed in claim 6, in which the slat in a portion of lesser thickness accommodates exterior damp-insulating and surface-protecting cladding.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
72 words
A wall comprising wall units as claimed in claim 1, arranged side by side, the wall units are carried by the sheet metal beam arranged as a footing along the wall, implemented as a Z-section and placed on building foundations with its web oriented vertically along the inside of the wall unit and having the studs bearing directly or via an intermediate element, on the bottom outwardly directed flange of the beam.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
101 words
A wall as claimed in claim 8, which is adapted to serve as a foundation wall and protection against ground radon, in which the Z-section beam carries with its top in-wardly directed flange a second sheet metal beam having a C-section with mutually opposing end flanges and resting on its bottom chief flange, as well as one or more further sheet metal C-beams, stacked one on the other in a similar manner to the desired height, the webs of the beams being attached to the studs so that the studs together with the flanges of the beams form a latice frame.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
A wall as claimed in claim 9, which is a base-ment or cellar wall.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
22 words
A wall as claimed in claim 8, 9 or 10, in which the building foundations are spot foundations or a foundation slab.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
A wall as claimed in claim 9, in which verti-cal struts are placed between a substructure fixed to the foundations and the top flange of the Z-section beam and between the chief flanges on each of the second and the fur-ther beams.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
27 words
A wall as claimed in claim 12, in which the top chief flange of the upper beam constitutes bearing for a floor structure forming a cellar ceiling.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
74 words
A wall as claimed in claim 7, 8 or 9, in which the Z-section beam is included in a frame structure made up from such beams and kept together with coupling elements, said frame concurring with the plane configuration of the building foundation and as a unit may be laid out before erecting the wall units for setting-out of the building foundation, and is furthermore utilizable as a form in pour-ing the foundation also.
