Description
- The invention relates to a modular construction, in particular a pond construction or other garden construction, the construction being supported in the subsoil.
- For cultivating gardens, ponds are built and decorative constructions, such as pergolas and other garden furniture, are placed. The building up of such constructions is usually done by one or a few persons using relatively light material and simple tools.
- For instance, pond constructions are known in which wooden piles are partly driven into the subsoil, and to which a sheet wall or board is fitted for forming a pond edge. Because the wooden piles stick in the subsoil and are supported on it, they support the sheet wall. Here, the wall is attached to the piles such that the upper edge of the wall, which is optionally designed as a girder, is approximately level. However, the wooden piles have the disadvantage that, after a limited number of years, they become subject to a rotting process. Subsidences of, for instance, pavements near the pond edge are the undesired result of this. In addition, it is difficult to change the slope of a girder supported on wooden piles when the wooden piles have already been inserted into the subsoil. This is because, due to the adhesive power of the soil, piles are difficult to pull upwards. In addition, by repositioning the pile, its stability is reduced. In order to still bring about an orientation of the girder which does not correspond with the height of the piles on which the girder is supported, one has to resort to complex auxiliary constructions.
- Also, pond constructions are known in which the edge is formed by a construction with stone and concrete elements, such as for instance in patent publication JP 1998000259194. In pond constructions which incorporate stone and concrete elements, these elements form a construction basis and at least a part of the pond edge. Although the orientation of the girder can be set, it cannot be easily adjusted during construction. In concrete constructions, the concrete is poured into a formwork which cannot be adjusted afterwards without affecting the quality of the concrete. In the case of stone constructions, the orientation of the longitudinal axis of a girder can no longer be easily adjusted during construction because, then, the foundation has already been provided and the dimensions of the stones are difficult to change. In addition, building such constructions usually requires the necessary manpower. Due to the costs involved, this last is not attractive for furnishing a garden.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a light, modular construction in which the orientation of a longitudinal axis of a girder with respect to the ground level is easy to adjust during construction. For this purpose, the modular construction is characterized in that it comprises at least two tubes, of which first, substantially hollow ends project into the subsoil, and where screw thread-shaped flanges are provided on the tubes, by which the tubes are supported in the subsoil, further at least two coupling pieces which are, at least during construction, each axially freely pivotably supported on second ends of the respective tubes, and a girder attached to the coupling pieces.
- By designing the supporting elements as tubes provided with a substantially hollow end, adjusting the height setting without substantially reducing the stability and bearing capacity is easier than with solid piles. This height setting determines the orientation of a longitudinal axis of the girder in that it is supported on the heads of the tubes via the coupling pieces. In addition, the hollow end of the tubes has the advantage that, compared to a solid pile, less force is required for the constructor to insert the tube into the ground.
- By providing the tubes with screw thread-shaped flanges, by which the tubes are supported in the subsoil, in an absolute sense, the tubes are well settable relative to one another, namely by pivoting the tubes.
- Because, during construction, the coupling pieces are axially freely pivotably supported on second ends of the tubes, the constructor can easily set the axial orientation of the coupling piece without affecting the height of the tubes. Since the axial orientation of the coupling piece is independent of the axial position of the tube, the height of the tube is also settable without changing the axial position of the coupling piece. This makes it relatively easy, also during construction, when the girder is already supported on the tubes, to adjust the vertical position of the girder.
- Owing to the above-described tubes with a partly hollow design and axially freely pivotable coupling pieces supporting the girder, the modular construction offers so much flexibility that the relatively light system can even be built up by one person. Here, it is not necessary to set everything definitively at once. As described, the system provides the very possibility to change height settings during its construction.
- It is noted that patent publication U.S. Pat. No. 4,405,262 discloses a pile construction for constructing relatively large hydraulic engineering works. The piles are with a closed, downwardly oriented end driven into the subsoil Further, a coupling means rests on a layer of sand which is provided on a partition plate in the pile.
- In an embodiment according to the invention which can particularly be used in a pond construction, a foil is clamped between the girder and a clamping section clamping around the girder. In this manner, the foil that covers a basin of the pond is secured to the girder.
- In another embodiment according to the invention, the modular construction is a pier construction in a pond.
- In another embodiment according to the invention, the modular construction is a pergola construction.
- The invention also relates to a modular construction system for use in above-described constructions.
- In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, the tubes, the coupling pieces and the girder are substantially from steel and/or plastic. This yields a construction which is both light and durable.
- By providing the hollow tubes, near the heads, with an engaging element for cooperation with a driving element for exerting a turning moment on the tubes, the pivoting of the tubes is facilitated when the tubes project into the ground. Especially when setting the height of the individual tubes, this yields a considerable advantage over pivoting the tubes by clutching these by hand. The engaging element is positioned near the head, but preferably removed from the head such that the engaging element is still accessible after positioning the coupling pieces, so that the height of the tubes is still easy to set, also including coupling piece and optionally the mounted girder.
- Preferably, cutting sections are formed to the substantially hollow ends of the tubes, so that the tube encounters less resistance when being inserted into the subsoil.
- The invention further relates to a method for building up a modular construction, in particular for use with ponds and other garden constructions, comprising the steps of rotating at least two ends with a substantially hollow design provided on at least two respective tubes into the subsoil, while the screw thread-shaped flanges provided on the outside of the tubes contact the subsoil, sliding coupling pieces which are axially freely pivotable during construction on respective heads provided at another end of the respective tubes, setting the height of the tubes by axially pivoting them, setting the axial orientation of the respective coupling pieces by pivoting them relative to the respective tubes, and attaching a girder to the coupling pieces.
- In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the method is used for building a pond construction, characterized in that, after the steps mentioned, also, the steps are carried out of digging a pond basin; laying a foil in the pond basin; and attaching the foil to the girder.
- By using the modular construction system in combination with a foil which covers the basin of the pond, only the basin needs to be dug out. In this manner, it is achieved that, in contrast to, for instance, pond constructions with wooden piles, where the space for a sheet piling is also dug out, the soil structure around the pond edge remains intact.

FIG. 1 shows amodular construction 1, in whichtubes 2 are supported in thesubsoil 4. On thetubes 2,coupling pieces 5 are supported which, in their turn, support agirder 7. -
FIG. 2 shows ahollow tube 2 which is provided with ahead 6 at one end and ends in apoint 12 at the other end. On the outside of thehollow tube 2, screw thread-shapedflanges 3 have been provided. Thehollow tube 2 is preferably designed in metal or plastic. Thehollow tube 2 is inserted into the subsoil by exerting a downward force on thetube 2, which is directed downwards by thepoint 12. As soon as the screw thread-shapedflanges 3 have contacted thesubsoil 4, the downward force can be combined with a forced axial moment, so that theflanges 3 drive thehollow tube 2 into thesubsoil 4. Here, the downward force can even be taken away completely. To facilitate the exertion of the axial moment, near thehead 6, thetube 2 is provided with an engaging element, such as two oppositely provided openings, or a projection or recess. Through the openings, a pin can be slid which transmits a moment of force or a torque to the tube. With projections or recesses, the moment is exerted using, for instance, an open-end wrench or a socket head wrench. In a heavier embodiment, the engaging element is blockingly connectable to an electric drive. In this manner, by means of the screw thread-shapedflanges 3, a relativelyheavy tube 2 can relatively easily be inserted into thesubsoil 4 by one person. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 show two embodiments of an axially freelypivotable coupling piece 5 comprising atube 22 and a supportingsection 23 attached on it. The diameter of the tube can be designed as a circle, but, for instance, also as a square. InFIG. 3 , the supportingsection 23 is shaped as a straight section. Other shapes are also possible. For instance, inFIG. 4 , the supporting section is shaped as a section with an acute angle of approximately 90°. - In a different embodiment, the
coupling piece 5 comprises atube 22 provided with a supporting means for being supported on the head of thehollow tube 2, such as a flange on the outside wall or a closing surface on the inside of thetube 22. At one end, thetube 22 is provided with recesses, such as slots for supporting agirder 7, which can be horizontally slid through the recesses of thetube 22 during assembly. -
FIGS. 5 and 6 show amodular construction system 1 in which ahollow tube 2 has been inserted into the subsoil. Over thehead 6 of thehollow tube 2, thetube 22 of acoupling piece 5 has been slid. Another possibility to mount thecoupling piece 5 is, for instance, sliding thetube 22 into thehollow tube 2. In both situations, thecoupling piece 5 is supported on thehead 6 of thehollow tube 2 for supporting a thin-walled girder 7 attached on the supportingsection 23. Thisgirder 7 can be designed as an open section (FIG. 5 ), such as a U or I-section, or as a flexible tube (FIG. 6 ). Other possibilities are, for instance, a plate or a closed section, such as a box girder. The girder can be built up from girder segments which can be intercoupled by attachment means, for instance regularly spaced apart holes at the ends of the girder. Over thegirder 7, which is optionally provided with a rubber protection section at the upper edge, lies afoil 11 which is clamped on thegirder 7 by means of aclamping section 10 to obtain a durable clamping construction. The foil serves as a pond floor in thebasin 18 of apond 24. For constructing apond 24 with apond edge 20 of any shape, a plate or a flexible tube is preferred as agirder 7 because of the possibility to bring it into the desired shape on site. The flexible tube can be internally strengthened by a section, such as for instance a vertical strip clamped in the tube. Owing to the bend of the tube, the strip stays in vertical position, so that it does not necessarily need to be fixed. - While building up the
modular construction 1, the constructor proceeds as follows. First of all, at least twohollow tubes 2 are inserted into thesubsoil 4 as described hereinabove. Then, on eachhollow tube 2, acoupling piece 5 is slid, an axial orientation being set. Attachment means 12, such as for instance a clamping screw, serve to attach thegirder 7 to thecoupling pieces 5. After that, for adjusting the orientation of a longitudinal axis of agirder 7 with respect to the ground level, the definitive height of the supportinghollow tubes 2 can be set by axially pivoting them. This is possible despite the attachedgirder 7 because thecoupling pieces 5 are axially pivotable. After the definitive setting, thecoupling pieces 5 are locked using locking means 13. These locking means comprise, for instance, a bolt and a nut. It is also possible to provide thetube 22 of thecoupling pieces 5 with eccentrically provided holes with a screw thread for locking by means of a clamping bolt. - The
modular construction system 1 can further serve as a basis for, for instance, clamping afoil 11 for apond basin 18, as shown inFIG. 10 , or for supporting apavement 27. Because thefoil 11 inter alia serves aspond edge 20, only thepond basin 18 needs to be dug out, and not the location where the pond edge is anchored to the subsoil, as is the case with, for instance, wooden sheet pilings. In this manner, the soil structure at thepond edge 20 remains intact. - In a variant according to the invention, the
clamping section 10 for clamping thefoil 11 is provided with aflange 15 at the pond side of the construction. AsFIG. 7 shows, theflange 15 can be provided on the side wall of theclamping section 10, for instance below the level of the upper edge of thesection 10 and the level of the subsoil for thepavement 27. Theflange 15 serves to support a row ofstones 17, whose top surface is optionally lower than the top side of thepavement 27. AsFIG. 8 shows, the flange edge can also be bent obliquely upwards with respect to the ground level, so that theground level 28 maximally continues to above thewater level 14 in thepond 24. - As
FIG. 9 shows, further, thehollow tubes 2, for the embellishment and protection of thepond construction 24, can be provided with attachment means 9, for instance regularly spaced apart, for attachingsheet elements 8, such as a plate-section or a natural stone, or retaining walls (not shown). Thesheet elements 8 can not only be provided at the side of the pond, but also at the side of, or above the ground level. The construction can serve to stabilize all sorts of height differences. In the case of retaining walls, section side boards of all sorts of materials are vertically positioned and optionally mutually strengthened by means of auxiliary sections. Also, side boards can be intercoupled using auxiliary sections. - On
girders 7, other girders can be positioned by means of a supporting section comprising two U-sections attached to each other by their respective sides without ends (the lying sides), so that the two U-sections can both clamp a girder. The mutual orientation of the U-sections, for instance transversely, determines the orientation of the thus attached girders. - The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described herein. Many variants are possible. For instance, the
modular construction system 1 can also serve as a basis for, for instance, apier construction 19, as shown inFIG. 10 , or for apergola construction 21, or other garden furniture construction, as shown inFIG. 11 . - Such variants will be clear to a person skilled in the art and are understood to be within the scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
