  • Patent number: 10526781
    Abstract: A modular building structure with relative integrated plants, as obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame, allows associating ducts of one or more plants to the module frame. The module frames have a parallelepiped-like shape and are identified by beams joining in respective angles, including a plurality of connecting knots joining module frames adjacent to the angles; the adjacent beams of side-by-side module frames are spaced apart by the knots and the panels and are connected to the beams of the module frame thereto, so as to create an air gap. The integrated plants have a plurality of ducts arranged in the air gaps and in the through channels, which include, at edges or angles of the module frame, quick connections for connecting the ducts related to a module frame to those of another module frame placed side-by-side thereto.

  • Patent number: 10458114
    Abstract: A modular building structure, obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame is provided. The structure includes walls and floors implemented by cladding panels, and the module frames have a substantially parallelepiped shape. The structure includes connecting knots joining module frames adjacent on a same plane, on the lower side or upper side, at angles, or which provides for the connection of the module frames to a basement or to a roof structure. Each knot has a box-like structure with an inner core shaped like a hollow straight parallelepiped, formed by six walls facing two by two, each wall has an opening that form respective channels opened according to orthogonal axes. At each opening, the knot includes a corresponding supporting plate, parallel or orthogonal therebetween; each supporting plate, extending beyond the plane defined by one or more adjacent supporting plates, defines a respective rest.

  • Publication number: 20190048584
    Abstract: A cladding of a modular frame structure, of the type used for assembling complex frames of buildings by interconnecting module frames identifying an outer wall of the building, is provided. Each module frame has a substantially parallelepiped shape and it is identified by longitudinal, vertical and transversal beams joining at respective angles. The cladding includes respective inner panels the edges thereof are wholly sustained inside said beams, including the overlapping of a pair of layers: a first bearing layer facing outwards, and a second insulating thermal layer facing inwards; outer panels in contact with the inner panels include a box-like reinforcement, which defines the inner face, having a compensation foil made of compressible material, rested on an inner panel, and an outer face having a plurality of fastening pins infixed in the wall of the reinforcement; and a flat element of outer finishing, forming an air gap.
