C CL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention: This invention relates to an arrangement for mounting panel assemblies forming a curtain wall on the body of a building..
2. Description of the Prior Art: In general, a curtain wall forms an external wall of a building by mounting panel assemblies on the building 10 body, and the panel assemblies are mounted on the building body by means of fasteners.
For example, an L-shaped fastener is fixedly secured to the body of a building, a secondary fastener is secured to the primary fastener by means of bolts, and the secondary fastener is fixedly secured to panel assemblies, thereby mounting the panel assemblies on the building body.
In such a mounting arrangement, since the panel assembly mounting position is adjusted by adjusting the position of the secondary fastener relative to the primary fastener in the direction perpendicular to the building body, and moving the panel assemblies relative to the secondary fastener in the vertical direction and the transverse direction parallel to the building body, 1A- 0 00 0 000 00 00 00 .0 0 o 0 0 0 0000 0 0 0 S0 0 00 00 0 0 0 0 the mounting operation itself becomes very troublesome.
Further, since the secondary fastener is fixedly secured to the panel assemblies by means of the bolt so as to press the wide surface of the secondary fastener acainst the panel assemblies, the area of the secondary fastener which is pressed against the panel assemblies becomes wide, and if the secondary fastener is inclined, or the surface of the secondary fastener, which is kept in contact with the panel assemblies, or the 10 surfaces of the panel assemblies in or are uneven, then it becomes impossible sometimes to mount the panel assemblies on the building body perpendicularly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the 15 above-mentioned circumstances in the prior art, and has for its object to provide an arrangement for mounting panel assemblies on the body of a building, which enables the position of mounting the panel assemblies on the building body to be adjusted in the indoor and outdoor directions perpendicular to the building body and in the vertical direction and which enables the panel assembly mounting operation to be carried out simply and readily.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement for mounting panel assemblies or: the body of a building whereby perpendicular posture of the panel 2 0000 00 0 o 00 00 0 0 0o 00 0 00
