Description

DESCRIPTION
This invention is in the technical sector of the building, and concerns as well the walls, partitions, floors, ceilings, outer bays fixed or sliding, that the building as a whole. (eg, building or villa).

 Until now, the buildings and their elements had an essential function of solidity, thermal protection, and comfort.

 But since the time of the caves, another human ceased to want to improve its habitat. That is why ancient utilities, if they are still indispensable, are no longer sufficient.

 Nowadays, the modern-man needs well-being, bitterness, or freshness, beauty, leisure, efficiency, longevity, energy savings, the safeguarding of his environment; of fancy, of ease, of saving time, and finally of avoiding tedious chores.

However - most heaters are unsightly, polluting and
wasteful energy.

- Air conditioning is quite unpleasant, very expensive, and
big consumers of energy.

- the best interior decorations remain
frozen, and constantly renovating, at the cost of work
tiresome, long, messy, and expensive.

- the outer shutters are b treat and repaint each
year, which is just as tedious as the others
renovations, but especially sometimes very dangerous.

 In addition, their effectiveness is not always perfect.

- if you want to have a giant video screen, besides the price
To pay, you have to accept that you are still congested by
size and volume.

The present invention pallie of all these various disadvantages
It is a whole building, or part of a building, built where to be built, which can have, according to the desire, or the need, a unique, variable and flexible customizable decoration function.

 The functions of decoration, video screen, and light barrier can be combined with either the heating function or the air conditioning function.

 all these functions are chosen, or accumulated, by programmable remote control.

Here is how the invention is
The basic principle is a circulation of water between two walls of safety glass. This water is sometimes colored, whitened, and blackened. It can then be either heated or refreshed.

 this water is demineralized and purified, to avoid any traces of limestone or minerals on the walls, and all risks of putrefaction.

It is colored by unalterable food colors. And this to ensure the inalterability of the components of the present invention.

 The inalterability of the materials is guaranteed by the use of safety glass and stainless steel angles.

OPERATING MODE
FUNCTION OF DECORATION:
The two safety glass walls (1) rest on all or part of the building. For a light partition, they can eventually replace this one.

 A vacuum of about 3 or 4 millimeters is cleaned between the walls (1). These are slid in a double rabbet angle (2), which serve as a frame. A gasket-type self-sealing gasket ensures tightness, while a flat metal bracket is plated on top for a more aesthetic appearance.

 The water is contained in a waterproof and unalterable reservoir (3), preferably located in a basement, or possibly in a false ceiling, or a false partition.

 A small electric pump (4), of the caravan pump type, sends the water through a thin plastic tubing (5) between the two walls (1), via a solenoid valve (6).

The solenoid valve (6) is closed and the water is blocked between the two glass walls (1).

 The solenoid valves (6) are camouflaged by skirting boards, cornices; or fighters, depending on their location.

 If we reopen the solenoid valve (6), the water, by natural gravitation, back down into its reservoir (3).

 The water circulates back and forth.

 All pumps (4) and solenoid valves (6) are connected to electronic receivers controlled by the electronic transmitters of a programmable remote control whose buttons are marked by color or function.

 It is necessary to multiply the whole system (ie: pumps (4), solenoid valves (6), tanks (3), pipes (5), transmitters and electronic receivers) by the number of colors. desired.

 After a number of operations, it may be necessary to rinse.

 This is why we install an additional tank1 with all its system, filled with demineralized water, purified, and not colored, that just send in the surface, then remove.

FUNCTION OF DECORATION IN SEVERAL PARTS
It is possible to divide the surface to be treated in several parts - either to insert solid shapes, or drawings (17) - or to consolidate it, in case of large dimensions or
weight to bear.

This is possible by means of T-shaped metal brackets, (1 @) duly lined with joint, and interlocking between the various parts of the surface.

 In this case, it will be necessary to provide the pump. (4) a multiple outlet (7) corresponding to the number of empty parts, and to multiply the pipes (5), the solenoid valves (6) and their transmitters and receivers, by this number of parts.

 Through the play of colors, shapes, drawings, bubblers and lighting, we then have an infinite palette of decorative creations responding to the fantasy of the moment.

 This avoids all work that is painful, expensive, tedious, and dangerous.

ECONOMICALLY ENERGY DECORATIVE HEATING FUNCTION
To obtain a heated, energy-efficient and non-polluting super-heater, the oldest and the newest of all energies must be used:
The megapuissance of the sun.

 To do this, it is necessary to connect reservoirs (3) and surfaces to be treated with a solar water heater (10) installed on the roof, or on the terrace.

This is not part of the invention. But the present invention makes new use.

At the first impoundment:
The tank (3) is filled with 2 times the capacity of the heating surface, ie at most the capacity of the water heater (10), or 63 liters.

 With a low pump (20), a little more powerful than the pump (4), immersed in the tank (3), one sends half of the water, the capacity of the surface to be treated, or 31.5 liters at most. in the solar water heater (10).

 When this water is hot, after a variable time depending on the volume of water and the external luminosity, it operates a high pump (4) located at the outlet of the solar water heater (10). Hot water is sucked to the surface to be treated. It descends thereafter by natural gravitation.

 The second half of the capacity of the reservoir (3) is then sent with the low pump (20) into the solar water heater (10). The reservoir (3) is empty.

 The inlet of the low pump (20) of the solenoid valve (6) blocking the hot water in the heating surface is connected by tubing (5).

 A thermostat (12) is placed. When the water between the walls (1) has cooled, it (12) automatically controls the opening of the solenoid valve (6), the start of the low pump (20), and the setting high-pump road (4).

 These three operations are performed in this order, and in a limited period of time. Thus, the cooled water is returned to the water heater (10), while the hot water of the water heater is lowered back into the heating surface. And so on.

 The water circulates thus in independent closed circuit.

 We take the opportunity to refill the tank (3) again, in order to have another circuit, according to the process used for the simple decoration function.

 For large heating surfaces, multiply the number of solar water heaters (10) according to the volume of water to be heated.

 Obviously, the larger the heating area, the more efficient the heating.

 It is necessary to multiply the entire system, including solar water heaters, by the number of desired heating colors. Not all colors are necessarily hot.

ECONOMIC DECORATIVE AIR CONDITIONING FUNCTION IN
ENERGY
To obtain a refreshing surface,
- the principle is exactly the same as for heating. But in the solar water heater (10), the freon pressure has been reversed.

We obtain then a fresh air conditioning, non-blowing, non-noisy, non-drying, very pleasant, and very economical use.
REMOVABLE GEANT SCREEN FUNCTION
the giant screen is obtained by filling the gap between the two walls of safety glass (1) with a white liquid. And this, according to the process used for the simple decoration.

 We will empty the surface by the same process, and the giant video screen will be gone, until its next use.

 If the walls (1) lean against a wall, it will feel like being in the cinema. If the walls (1) are on the floor, or on the ceiling, we can obtain fantastic special effects, or amazing.

 The surface can obviously be colored between two uses, always by the same process. It can as well str be either heating or refreshing.

 It may possibly include solid shapes or drawings (17), but these may affect the quality of the rendered image.

FIXED LIGHT PARK FUNCTION
- It is possible to create fixed outdoor bays, colored at will during the day, with drawings and bubblers, or not, and ensuring darkness at night.

 By the procedure used for the simple decoration, the vacuum is filled between the two walls of safety glass (1) with a black liquid.

 As a protective measure, the exterior is double-glazed for safety, cold insulation and anti-freeze as well as burglary and vandalism.

 It is therefore necessary that the angle is a triple'feuillure (it). The liquid is housed between the inner wall 11) and the middle one (21), and there remains an insulating air gap between the middle wall (21) and the outer wall (22). The three walls are made of glass of security.

 However, because of the risk of frost, it is very advantageous to connect the outer bay to the solar water heater (10). this double precaution effectively prevents any risk of frost.

 Antifreeze in the black liquid is not advisable.

It would become viscous, leave demountable traces on the glass walls (1), pollute the liquid, and foul the entire system pumps (4) (20) - solenoid valves (6), - tubing (5). It is therefore forbidden.

 It is necessary to multiply the water system (tanks (3), pumps (4), solenoid valves (6), tubings (by the number of desired colors, including black.

 If you want one or more heating colors in addition to black, multiply also the number of solar water heaters (10), pumps (20) and their tubing (5).

SLIDING LIGHT PARKING FUNCTION
It is possible and very advantageous to create sliding exterior bays, having the same color, pattern, bubbler, and darkness properties as fixed bays.

 It is necessary to install the complete bay, such as fixed bay, between two simple slides (13), one low, the other high.

 The lower slide (13) and the triple groove (11) are drilled in the inner hollow portion for receiving the black liquid.

 The two holes must coincide perfectly.

 Through the two holes, insert a small metal tube (1S) whose interior is antiroutlle. The end through the lower slide (13) is engaged on the tubing (5) from the reservoir (3). The other end enters the part of the bay receiving the liquid.

 The bay is then filled normally, according to the process used for the simple decoration. A valve (14) allows to block the liquid.

 Two small electromagnets (16) are actuated on both sides below the metal tube (15).

This one goes down, and releases the simple slide (13).

 The bay can then slide. Its even sliding can be operated by a small electric motor controlled by the remote control.

 To empty the rack, it must be replaced, release the tube (15) thanks to the electromagnets (16), and open the valve (14). The water returns to its reservoir (3). We can then change color.

 It is necessary to multiply the water system (reservoirs (3), pumps (4), solenoid valves (6), pipes (5)) by the desired number of colors, including black.

 If you want one or more heating colors in addition to black, multiply also the number of solar water heaters (10), pumps (20) and their tubing (5).

LIGHT PARKING FUNCTION FOR FIXED CEILINGS OR
SLIDING
It is possible to achieve ceilings according to these same methods. The effect will be striking
However, a metal frame is essential, as well as separations and reinforcements.

 Electrical sliding is in this case very advantageous.

 If the number of colors and functions is subsequently deemed insufficient, it will still be possible to install tanks (3), water heaters (10), and complete systems.

 You can also simply change existing colors with new ones.

 The advantage. of this invention is its flexibility for the user, both in view of its mEpulation- simplified by programmable remote control, as its infinite wealth of variations, modular, combinatorial, and scalable.

CONCLUSION
As can be seen, the present invention, with its multiple uses and its devolutive character, has great potential for industrial and commercial applications.

 Large companies, luxury stores, large hotels, but also various Parliaments or important Town Halls are more and more interested in taking care of their brand image and their prestige.

Imagine for a moment a whole office tower in heated facades uniformly colored or dammier, with drawings and bubblers, or not, and obscuring the evening! Or the interior decorations of the European Parliament or the UN equipped with the present invention! Or a luxurious villa equipped with sliding wreaths, making colored glass during the day, heating or air conditioning, and black during the night
The concert halls, shows, or even prayers, will find there an original decor, modular, and possessing remarkable technical utilities (g-ant retractable screen, obscuration bays, heating or air conditioning).

 This invention can be just as much for the individual concerned with the beauty and comfort of his living environment.

Public buildings-such as administrations, hospitals,
Pools, will gain in cheerfulness, and therefore in a good mood.

Strict utility is outdated. Liter human needs something more. The present invention appoLte. this more
It could even very soon become a new breath of fresh air on the international market, reviving the flat glass industry, aluminum profiles, developing the solar industry and electronics, and giving birth to a new sector. , in the building.

 New jobs and new resources will be created for both industry and individuals.

and only for states.
