Abstract
Abstract This method relates to the construction of buildings or structures from units forming cells fabricated and equipped in the factory and assembled on the erection site. According to this method, a plurality of cells designed to form a construction unit, house or building storey, are manufactured in the factory side by side and exactly in the respective position occupied by the cells once the building is completed after setting up and assembling. These cells are however made as units which are independent from each other and which are detachable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A method of erecting building stories, each made from a plurality of cells comprising the steps of: a. providing a single mold having two longitudinal edges; b. placing a plurality of prefabricated panels along said longitudinal edges, at least the lower portion of said panels forming a portion of said mold; c. maintaining said panels in place on said longitudinal edges; d. providing a plurality of separating elements in said mold at selected locations for separating a slab into a plurality of side-by-side cells; e. forming partitions on one or more of said slabs at selected locations and including the walls along the lateral edges of said mold; f. casting a plurality of reinforced concrete slabs in said mold to unite said slabs to said panels; g. forming a top closure element on each of said side-by-side cells; and h. removing said cells from said mold; i. assembling said cells at the construction site in the same side-by-side relationship as they were made.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
163 words
A method of erecting building stories, each made from a plurality of cells comprising the steps of: a. providing a single mold having two longitudinal edges; b. placing a plurality of prefabricated panels along said longitudinal edges, at least the lower portion of said panels forming a portion of said mold; c. maintaining said panels in place on said longitudinal edges; d. providing a plurality of separating elements in said mold at selected locations for separating a slab into a plurality of side-by-side cells; e. forming partitions on one or more of said slabs at selected locations and including the walls along the lateral edges of said mold; f. casting a plurality of reinforced concrete slabs in said mold to unite said slabs to said panels; g. forming a top closure element on each of said side-by-side cells; and h. removing said cells from said mold; i. assembling said cells at the construction site in the same side-by-side relationship as they were made.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
Method of constructing building stories as set forth in claim 1, further comprising the step of aligning said vertical panels on each longitudinal edge of the mold in a common prefabricated plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
Method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of placing one or more rolling members under the separating elements of each said side-by-side cell prior to casting the slab, and rolling the cell assembly away from the mold area after molding is complete.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
Method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of placing one or more rolling members beneath the locations selected for the end of the slab of each side-by-side cell, and rolling the cell assembly away from the mold area after molding is complete.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
Method of constructing building stories as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the steps of providing relief portions in said mold and lifting the cells away from the mold after completion to release the slab from the relief portions of the mold.
