Description
r ~ 9 1 BACKGROUND o~ the INVENTION.
The invention relates to a s~ri~s of elements to be used in the construction of ventilated facades.
V~ntilated fac3des ar~ wall-coverings made wïth ceramic t;les or other materials (marble, granite~
05 and kept out of contact, by m~ans of a frame, w;th the wall they are destïned to cover, so a5 to create a ventilated channel between the wall and the facade.
The vent;lated channel functions as a heat-;nsulat;ng chsnnel and allows better transp;ration of the wall to be covered. The prior art in the field of vent;lated facades teaches the application o~ the tiles on special metallic frames w;thout the use of cemsnts, having rather complex hooking sV~tems, and of~erlng only a limit~d possib;lity o~ regulating either the tile~
or the frame during the mount;ng op~ra-t;on.
An aim of the present ïnvention is thus that of elim;nating the above-mentionecl clrawbacks and realising a ventilated facade in 3 very simple and economical way, with a support fralne for the tiles, which ~rame position c3n be reg(Jlated during the mounting operation, and with tiles .
, . , '. ' .
shaped ;n such a way as to b~ applicab1~ by s;mple fitting on the frame.
A` f~rther eirt7 o~ the ;nvention ;s that of obviating wr~ong mounting, for examp'l~ fitting 05 tiles ups;de down. This ;s palticu'lanly us~u'l when dea1ing with square ti'les havîng sp~cial deslgns on the s;de in view.

uprights 1.
In an alternative ambodim~nt of th~ inventior), illustrated in figure 10, the vertical uprights 1 can ha~e a "C"~shaped tr~nsver~al section ~nd can 05 be internally aquipped with mi11ing 29 to cne3te friction against ~F;x;ng plates 28 ;nserted in the uprights 1.
The uprights l c~n be providacl with a plurality of lateral slots 27.
With reference to f;gure 4, a hori~ont~'l crossbar 3 constitutas the ~irst element of the ser;es and exhibits a profile which is subst3ntially equal to that of the vertical upri~hts 1, but which ïs also equipped with two tabs or appendices 14~
perpendicular with r~spect to the vertical sides of the "U", which when mounted are arranged parallel to the wa'll 15 as shown in f;gure l.
The tabs 14 are asymmetrical, that is, th~re are 3 smal1er-width tab 14a and a wider-w;dth tab l4b.
Each crossbar 3 is equ;pped on a central s;d~ w;th 3 plwrality of slots 8 ;n wh;ch f;xing m ans 16 are ;nserted, wh;ch fix;ng msans 16 can be very sim;lar to the said fixing me3ns 13, to anchor the crossbars 3 to the vertical upr-îghts l, in th~
manner~ shown in figure l. The fixing mean~ 16 are ;nserted 9nto the s'lots 8 of the crossb3rs 3 and into th~ frontal slots 6 of the uprights l.
The crossbars 3 can b~ equîpped w;th a plur31-ity o~ apertures 19 to permit the dra;ning o~ 3ny 05 eventu31 accumu1at10ns of n3i nwater ~
The interaxis of the s1ots 8 in the crossbars 3 is 1ess than the long;tucl;nal d;mens;on of the correspond;ng front31 slots 6 and th~ longit-lcl;n31 d;mension of the s10ts 8 of the crossbars 3 is 1arger th~n the interaxis of the frontal s10ts 6 o~ the uprights 1 so that a possible couplil1g betwecn crossbars 3 and uprights 1 in any of the;r re1ative positions c.an always be gu~ranteed.
In ~ further emobdimel1t, i1'lustr3ted in figures 7, 8 and 9, the crossbars 3 can have a substarltia11y ~'L"-shaped transversa1 sect;on with a short 'leg termin~ting in the tabs 14.
The fixing means 16 c~n be usecl to fix the crossbar~ 3 to the upr;ghts 1 of figur~e 10, using the f;xing p1ates 2~.
