CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

5 OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is part of the technical field of construction. A construction system is described that comprises at least one "Z" profile that has the advantage of being stackable with other equal profiles to facilitate storage and transport. 10 In addition, the "Z" profile can be combined with at least one other "Z" profile to form a construction element that can be used for porches, trusses, pillars, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

15 Currently, most truss and porch-type constructions are made by joining a plurality of metal beams that join together to form a specific structure. Most of the beams used have profiles in "I", angular, tube, etc. and are joined together by welding or rivet screws.

20 The most important technical problem associated with the use of this type of profiles is that large storage and transport spaces are needed. This is because the profiles cannot be placed simply in an orderly manner. In most cases the profiles are placed, without paying attention to their specific orientation, in the storage or transport space leaving a lot of wasted free space between profiles. This option allows you to quickly load the means of transport or allows you to quickly store the profiles that are not being used.

In case you want to properly place the profiles to maximize the use of space for storage or transport it is necessary to invest a lot of time in the correct distribution of the profiles.

Another disadvantage of current constructions is that it is necessary to use different types of beams which makes construction difficult. This also hinders

work of control of stock of beams, the storage and transport of these, etc. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention describes a constructive system that allows to solve the current problems of the state of the art. More specifically, the construction system comprises at least one "Z" profile that is stackable with other equal "Z" profiles. This "Z" profile, being stackable, can be stored and transported conveniently and easily and therefore saves a lot of space, time and costs.

10

The "Z" profile has a constant section configuration comprising a soul with two ends from which wings respectively extend in opposite directions and extensions extending from the wings in parallel directions and opposite directions to each other. Thanks to the fact that the section is constant and that the 15 extensions extend parallel to each other, the "Z" profiles can be stacked comfortably.

In addition, the fact that the extensions extend with a certain inclination with respect to the wings guarantees that once placed some profiles on others they will not be separated but that they will be kept well stacked. That is, the extensions act by retaining the extensions of the "Z" profiles that are stacked on each previously placed "Z" profile.

Another important advantage provided by the present invention is that the construction system 25 also comprises construction elements that have symmetrical configuration and are formed by at least two "Z" profiles as described above. For this, the "Z" profiles are arranged with their collinear wings and the tip of one of the extensions of one of the "Z" profiles is facing the tip of one of the extensions of the other "Z" profile. The construction element also has 30 joining elements to ensure the position of the "Z" profiles and ensure structural strength. In this way, the construction elements of the construction system can be used to replace other types of beams guaranteeing a correct resistance to the loads that the construction in which it is used may suffer.

In cases where it is necessary to have a better resistance to loads, the construction system may comprise construction elements that have two additional "Z" profiles, stacked respectively on the previously described "Z" profiles.

Preferably, the "Z" profiles are formed with galvanized sheets in origin. This is a technical advantage since it has greater protection and no further operations are necessary for the application of galvanizing that are more expensive and less effective.

Also preferably the "Z" profiles are formed by manufacturing in profiler and not in folder. This allows to manufacture much faster and in addition in the profiling machine the corresponding drills can be made. These are 15 automated operations that guarantee very good results and manufacturing in very short times.
