  • Patent number: 10381812
    Abstract: Described is a riser that is secured against downward movement, having an electrical riser flat cable that extends vertically or with a vertical component, and at least one riser securing device, surrounding the flat cable, for securing the riser flat cable against downward movement by pressing the flat cable against a nonconductive pressing surface both in the absence of a fire and in the event of fire. The riser securing device includes an electrically nonconductive, fire-resistant clamping element, spaced apart from the pressing surface, that is freely movably guided in an oblique guide that reduces the distance of the clamping element from the pressing surface during downward movement of the clamping element.

  • Patent number: 9957986
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an assembly having a first cardboard assembly member, a second cardboard assembly member and a connection arrangement. The connection arrangement can connect together the first and second cardboard assembly members, and can include a set of first connector elements and a set of second connector elements. Each of the first connector elements can have a first segment fixedly received within the first assembly member, and a second segment that projects from the first assembly member and received within the second assembly member, the second segment extending along a first longitudinal axis parallel to two parallel faces of the second assembly member. Each of the second connector elements can extend along a second longitudinal axis normal to the first longitudinal axis, and be received within the second assembly member and pass through the two parallel faces of the second assembly member.

  • Patent number: 9057192
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a structure from prefabricated panels to be connected mounted on a free-standing supporting framework, each of the panels being made beforehand from a wood framework into which an inner insulation and inner and outer facings are capable of being built, the panels being connected together by a linking mechanism in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction, wherein the method is characterized in that a subassembly is made from a quadrangular wood frame inside of which vertical posts are arranged on which mechanical connectors are placed, enabling the arrangement, support, and prepositioning of a metal reinforcement on the connectors that are in place. The thus-produced subassembly is placed in a mold so as to be overmolded from concrete constituting the inner facing.
