Building element with light-permeable properties and its compositions
Technical field
The invention concerns a building element with light-permeable properties and
its
compositions.
Brief description of the invention
To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, the invention comes with a building
element
with light-permeable properties, its multiple arrangement and methods of
manufacture
characterized by passage of transparent elements in any directions. The rest
of the element's
volume in its cross-section is completely or partly filled with a non-
transparent material,
insulating material or their combination. In this way, we get the mentioned
component, which
is transparent in any of its directions; in addition, the mentioned
transparent units are able to
transfer the light not only between the opposite sides as in the existing
state of the technology,
but also between the other sides; thus, the light, which enters the mentioned
component from
one of its sides, is not transferred just to the opposite side, but also to
the other sides, which
largely increases efficiency and usability of the mentioned component. In
addition, thanks to
specially designed shaping and arrangement of the transparent elements in the
mentioned
component, we obtain a quick and economically non-expensive manufacturing
method of
building components with transparent properties in comparison with the
existing state of the
technology.
The mentioned transparent component can be of any colour and based on plastic
or glass
material.
The following methods can be used for insertion of non-transparent material
and insulating
material or their combination in the formwork:
a) non-transparent material is applied by pouring, vibro pouring, vibro
compaction or
injection in the formwork, where the mentioned material solidifies,
b) non-transparent or liquid transparent insulation material is applied by
pouring or
injection in the formwork, where the mentioned material solidifies. If the
insulation
material is solid, it can be directly inserted in the mould,
c) non-transparent liquid transparent material is applied by pouring, vibro
pouring, vibro
compacting or injection in the formwork; transparent or non-transparent liquid
insulation material is poured or injected in the formwork, where the mentioned
materials solidify. If the insulation material is solid, it can be directly
inserted in the
mould,
d) non-transparent solid material such as wood, metal, or types of
plastics, etc., is placed
in a casing into which all the transparent elements are then inserted,

e) non-transparent solid material such as wood, metal, or types of
plastics, etc., is placed
in a casing into which all the transparent elements are then inserted;
transparent or
non-transparent liquid insulation material is applied by pouring or injection
in the
formwork, where the material solidifies. If the insulation material is solid,
it can be
directly inserted in the mould.
The mentioned building elements with transparent properties can further be
used for creation
of all types of compositions by connecting the individual components with
their side surfaces,
thus making the whole composition transparent.
The building element with transparent properties is obtained by connection of
the following:
a) transparent elements and non-transparent liquid material,
b) transparent elements, non-transparent liquid material and liquid or
solid insulation
material,
c) transparent elements and liquid or solid insulation material,
d) transparent elements and non-transparent solid material,
e) transparent elements, non-transparent solid material and liquid or solid
insulation
material.
The resulting strength of the mentioned building element with transparent
properties thus
depends on strength properties of the mentioned input components as well as
connection
between them. Additional strength of the complete component is reached by
insertion of a
reinforcement into the formwork or casing; insertion of this casing must not
hinder transfer of
the light.
Summary of the invention
The invention describes the building element on the basis of various geometric
shapes. This
component comprises at least four border surfaces between which there are a
large number of
transparent elements of any colour and non-transparent material. The
transparent elements,
which form a compact space lattice, are surrounded by a non-transparent
material. This space
lattice is located between at least four mentioned border surfaces of the
building element and
its contact surfaces are in direct contact with border surfaces of this
building element. The
mentioned transparent elements of any colour, which create the space lattice,
are specially
formed within their dimensions so that the light beam, which penetrates
through one layer, is
not transferred only to the opposite surface, but also to all other surfaces.

The space lattice consists of at least two transparent elements, which hold
each other or are
held by additional attachment elements. The connection surfaces of the space
lattice are in
direct contact with border surfaces of the building element. In the top view,
the building
element consists of various geometric shapes.
The additional attachment elements of the space lattice are composed of any
solid material,
while a metal also assumes the role of reinforcement. Other reinforcements for
additional
strengthening of the whole building element are made of any bearing material.
Non-transparent material is applied by pouring, vibro pouring, vibro
compaction or injection
in the formwork, where the mentioned material solidifies. Non-transparent
solid
material such as wood, metal, or types of plastics, etc., is placed in a
casing, which
surrounds the space lattice of the transparent elements.
The building element consists of one or more non-transparent material. If the
building
component contains an insulation material, it is located either along the
entire cross-section of
the component, in the centre of the cross-section or at either side of the
component's cross-
section. The mentioned space lattice consists of at least two transparent
elements, which are
held by attachment elements. The connection surfaces of the space lattice are
in direct contact
with border surfaces of the building element. The mentioned transparent
elements of any
colour, which create the space lattice, are specially formed within their
dimensions so that the
light beam, which penetrates through one layer, is transferred not only to the
opposite side,
but also to all the other surfaces.
The mentioned space lattice consists of at least two transparent elements,
which are held by
attachment elements or it forms any shape as a compact element in any colour
design. The
connection surfaces of the space lattice are in direct contact with border
surfaces of the
building element. The building element is based on various geometric shapes.
The additional
attachment elements of the space lattice are composed of any solid material,
while a metal
also assumes the role of reinforcement. Other reinforcements for additional
strengthening of
the whole building element are made of any bearing material.
