Opfindelsen angår en facadevæg omfattende et skelet af poster og tværsprosser, der er indrettet til at understøtte fyldninger, hvor hver tværsprosse består af en kropdel og en næsedel, der rager udad fra kropde-5 len og er placeret til optagelse af vægten af fyldningen, der understøttes af tværsprossen, idet hver tværsprosse er koblet til hver tilstødende post ved hjælp af et forbindelseselement, der er fastgjort til posten og rager sideværts for at gribe ind i og støtte tvær-10 sprossens næsedel, hvor en trykplade er fastgjort til hver af tværsprossernes og posternes næsedel på en sådan måde, at perifere dele af fyldningerne, der understøttes af skelettet, fastspændes mellem trykpladerne og tværsprossernes og posternes kropdele.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facade wall comprising a skeleton of posts and crossbars adapted to support fillings, each crossbeam consisting of a body portion and a nose portion projecting outward from the body portion and positioned to receive the weight of the filling. is supported by the cross bar, each cross bar being coupled to each adjacent post by means of a connecting member attached to the post and projecting laterally to engage and support the cross section of the cross bar, where a pressure plate is attached to each of the cross bar and the nose portion of the posts in such a way that peripheral portions of the fillings supported by the skeleton are clamped between the pressure plates and the body parts of the crossbars and posts.

15 Det er opfindelsens formål at tilvejebringe en sådan facadevæg, hvor der i modsætning til ved kendte konstruktioner skabes en fuldt ventileret hulning mellem tværsprossen, trykpladen og kanterne af fyldningerne, der er fastklemt mellem trykpladen og tværsprossens 20 kropdel, således at vand kan løbe bort fra hulningen.It is the object of the invention to provide such a facade wall where, in contrast to known designs, a fully ventilated cavity is created between the cross-bar, pressure plate and the edges of the fillings which are clamped between the pressure plate and the body portion of the cross-bar 20 so that water can run away from it. hollow.

Dette opnås ved en facadevæg af den indledningsvis nævnte art, der ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved, at hver tværsprosses næsedel strækker sig mellem den nedre kant af fyldningen, der støttes af tværspros-25 sen, og den øvre kant af fyldningen umiddelbart under tværsprossens næsedel med mellemrum mellem næsedelen og de nævnte fyldningskanter, hvor bærere er indskudt mellem næsedelens øvre overflade og den nedre kant af fyldningen på en sådan måde, at luft frit kan cirkulere 30 mellem fyldningen og næsedelen, og at trykpladen er forbundet til tværsprossens næsedel på en sådan måde, at luft kan cirkulere mellem trykpladen og næsedelen, hvorved der mellem tværsprossen, trykpladen og kanterne af fyldningerne, der er fastspændt mellem dem, dannes 35 en hulning, gennem hvilken luft frit kan cirkulere, hvor trykpladen har huller, for at tillade ventilationThis is achieved by a facade wall of the type mentioned in the introduction, which according to the invention is characterized in that the nose portion of each cross member extends between the lower edge of the filling supported by the cross member and the upper edge of the filling immediately below the nose portion of the cross member. spacing between the nose portion and said filling edges, wherein carriers are inserted between the upper surface of the nose portion and the lower edge of the filling in such a way that air can freely circulate between the filling and the nose portion and the pressure plate is connected to the nose portion of the cross member in such a manner. allowing air to circulate between the pressure plate and the nose portion, thereby forming a gap between the transverse plate, pressure plate, and edges of the fillings which is trapped through which air can circulate freely where the pressure plate has holes, to allow ventilation

2 af hulningen og for at tillade vand at løbe bort fra hulningen.2 of the hole and to allow water to run away from the hole.

Tilvejebringelsen af en fuldt ventileret hulning tillader, at luften kan circulere frit gennem denne, 5 således at kondensering af vanddampe i hulningen modvirkes. Konstruktionen ifølge opfindelsen har også den virkning, at det sikres, at trykket i hulningen er lig med det ydre atmosfæretryk, hvorved gennemtrængen af vand udefra hindres, hvor vindpåvirkninger ellers kunne 10 bevirke et øget ydre tryk. Skulle der trods de ved opfindelsen trufne konstruktionsmæssige foranstaltninger alligevel trænge vand ind i hulningen, kan dette løbe ud gennem hullerne i trykpladen.The provision of a fully ventilated hole permits the air to circulate freely through it, thus preventing the condensation of water vapors in the hole. The construction according to the invention also has the effect of ensuring that the pressure in the hole is equal to the external atmospheric pressure, thereby preventing the penetration of water from outside, where wind effects could otherwise cause an increased external pressure. If, despite the structural measures taken by the invention, water nevertheless penetrates into the hole, this can run out through the holes in the pressure plate.

Ifølge opfindelen kan den øvre overflade af hver 15 tværsprosses næsedel hælde nedad bort fra kropsdelen, således at vand kan løbe bort fra den øvre overflade, og trykpladen, der er fastgjort til tværsprossen, kan have huller i sin nedre perifere del, således at vand kan løbe ud af hulningen.According to the invention, the upper surface of each 15-part nose portion may be inclined downwardly away from the body portion so that water may run away from the upper surface, and the pressure plate attached to the cross-member may have holes in its lower peripheral portion so that water may run out of the hole.

20 En facadevæg kan ifølge opfindelsen være udfor met således, at den nedre perifere del af trykpladen, der er forbundet til tværsprossen, er udformet til dannelse af en kanal til optagelse af vand, der løber bort fra tværsprossens næsedel, at forsiden af kanalen nær-25 mest ved tvær sprossens kropdel er dannet af en opad ragende væg på trykpladen, at den øvre kant af denne væg ligger nærmere ved kropdelen end den ydre kant af næsedelen, og at hullerne i trykpladen er dannet i den nævnte kanal.In accordance with the invention, a facade wall may be designed such that the lower peripheral portion of the pressure plate connected to the cross-bar is formed to form a channel for receiving water running away from the nose portion of the cross-bar so that the front of the channel 25 most at the cross member body portion is formed by an upwardly projecting wall on the pressure plate, that the upper edge of this wall is closer to the body portion than the outer edge of the nose portion, and that the holes in the pressure plate are formed in said channel.

30 Ved at tværsprossens næsedel ifølge opfindelsen er udformet til dannelse af en indre hulhed, og hvert forbindelseselement er en tap med ensartet tværsnit udformet til at passe ind i næsedelens fordybning, er der tilvejebragt en forbindelse, hvis forbindelseselementer 35 ikke rager ind i den ventilerede hulning, og således ikke hindrer luftcirkulationen i hulningen.By forming the nose portion of the invention according to the invention to form an inner cavity, and each connecting member being a uniform cross-sectional pin designed to fit into the recess of the nose portion, a connection is provided whose connecting members 35 do not project into the vented hole. , thus not obstructing air circulation in the cavity.

Ifølge opfindelsen kan hver tap være fastgjort til den tilstødende posts næsedel ved hjælp af bolte eller skruer, der går igennem åbninger, der strækker sig i tappens længde. Hver tap kan ifølge opfindelsen 5 strække sig tværs over en spalte mellem enden af tværsprossens næsedel og den tilstødende posts næsedel, og en spærreblok kan være placeret til dækning af den øvre overflade og den blotlagte del af tappen for at hindre passage af fugt gennem spalten.According to the invention, each pin may be secured to the nose portion of the adjacent post by bolts or screws passing through openings extending the length of the pin. In accordance with the invention, each pin may extend across a slot between the end of the cross member's nose portion and the adjacent post's nose portion, and a blocking block may be located to cover the upper surface and exposed portion of the pin to prevent moisture passage through the slot.

10 Med den beskrevne udformning af tappe og næsede le kan hver tap ifølge opfindelsen hensigtsmæssigt være i forskydeligt indgreb med den tilstødende tværsprosses næsedel for at tillade let bevægelse mellem tværsprossen og posten, som den er forbundet med, og tappen kan 15 være forsynet med et friktionsreducerende plasticovertræk.With the disclosed design of pins and nosy shells, each pin according to the invention may conveniently be displaceable with the nose portion of the adjacent transverse member to allow easy movement between the transverse pin and the post to which it is connected, and the pin may be provided with a friction reducing device. plastic coating.

I en facadevæg ifølge opfindelsen kan en pakning være indskudt mellem de perifere kanter af hver fyldning og kropdelene af tilstødende tværsprossser og po-20 ster, hvor hver pakning omfatter længder af pakningsmateriale, hvor hver længde strækker sig langs en kant af en fyldning, og længderne er svejset eller limet til hinanden ved hvert hjørne af fyldningen.In a facade wall according to the invention, a gasket may be interposed between the peripheral edges of each filling and the body portions of adjacent cross-braces and posts, each gasket comprising lengths of gasket material, each length extending along one edge of a filling, and the lengths. are welded or glued to each other at each corner of the filling.

Yderligere kan ifølge opfindelsen en pakning væ-25 re anbragt mellem kropdelen af hver post og kropdelen af hver tilstødende tværsprosse.Further, according to the invention, a gasket may be disposed between the body portion of each post and the body portion of each adjacent transverse body.

Idet der henvises til fig. 1 til 4 omfatter en 15 facadevæg et netværk af poster 10 og tværsprosser 20, der bærer fyldninger, der kan være massive fyldninger 12 eller glasfyldninger 14. Posterne 10 er indrettet til at fastgøres til bygningens skelet på konventionel måde.Referring to FIG. 1 to 4, a 15 facade wall comprises a network of posts 10 and crossbars 20 carrying fills which may be solid fills 12 or glass fills 14. The fittings 10 are arranged to be attached to the building's skeleton in a conventional manner.

20 I den viste udførelsesform er posterne og tvær sprosserne dannet af identiske profiler, selvom de alternativt kan have forskellige tværsnit. Hver af tværsprosserne 20 har en kropdel 22, der som helhed har form som en rektangulær kassesektion, og en næsedel 25 24, der rager fremad fra kropdelen.In the embodiment shown, the posts and crossbars are formed of identical profiles, although they may alternatively have different cross sections. Each of the crossbars 20 has a body portion 22 which as a whole is in the form of a rectangular box section, and a nose portion 25 24 which projects forwardly from the body portion.

Næsedelen 24 spidser til i sin lodrette dimension fra bag til for, idet den har hældende øvre og nedre vægge 26 og 28. Den øvre væg 26 danner en hældende platform, fra hvilken vand kan løbe bort som 30 nedenfor beskrevet. De øvre og nedre vægge er forbundet ved en fast ydre del 30. Den indre hulhed 32 kan optage en tap, der forbinder tværsprossen til en tilstødende post som nedenfor beskrevet.The nose portion 24 tips in its vertical dimension from back to front, having inclined upper and lower walls 26 and 28. The upper wall 26 forms a sloping platform from which water can flow as described below. The upper and lower walls are connected by a fixed outer portion 30. The inner cavity 32 can receive a pin connecting the cross bar to an adjacent post as described below.

En trykplade 40 er fastgjort til tværsprossen 35 20's næsedel 24 ved hjælp af skruer 42, der går gennem huller i trykpladen og skrues ind i de gevind-A pressure plate 40 is secured to the nose portion 24 of the cross member 35 20 by means of screws 42 which pass through holes in the pressure plate and screw into the threaded plates.

5 skårne riller i næsens ydre del 30. Trykpladen 40 holdes i afstand fra næsen 24 ved hjælp af isolerende bøsninger 44 for at tillade luft at cirkulere mellem trykpladen og næsen og således virke som en termisk af-5 brydelse mellem trykpladen og tværsprossen.5, grooves in the outer part of the nose 30. The pressure plate 40 is spaced from the nose 24 by insulating bushes 44 to allow air to circulate between the pressure plate and the nose, thus acting as a thermal break between the pressure plate and the cross member.

Fyldningerne 12 og 14, der støder op til tværsprossen 20 er fastspændt mellem trykpladen 40 og tværsprossens kropdel 22. Hver fyldning er understøttet langs sin nedre kant af et antal bærere 46, 10 der hver især består af en længde af et aluminiumsprofil, anbragt med mellemrum langs tværsprossen. Hver bærer 46 er udformet til at ligge an imod næsedelen 24's skrånende øvre væg 26 for at tilvejebringe en vandret overflade, på hvilken fyldningen kan hvile. Når 15 panelet er en glasenhed 14 som vist i fig. 2, kan en rammeblok 48 af passende materiale indskydes mellem fyldningen og bæreren 46. Hvor fyldningen har en tykkelse, der er mindre end den maksimale, der kan optages af tværsprossen, som ved glaspanelet 14 i fig. 2, 20 er et afstandsstykke 50, der består af en længde af aluminiumprofil, anbragt mellem fyldningen 14 og tværsprossens krop 22. Afstandsstykket 50 er fastgjort til tværsprossens 22 ved hjælp af passende organer, såsom ind i hinanden gribende elementer på af-25 standsstykket og tværsprossen, der tillader at af standsstykket snaplåses til tværsprossen. Tætningspakninger 52 er anbragt mellem fyldningerne og tværsprossens krop 22 og mellem fyldningerne og trykpladen 40, idet pakningerne holdes i kanaler 54, der er 30 dannet i trykpladen og i kanaler 56 i tværsprossens krop 22 eller i afstandsstykket 50. Pakningerne be skrives nærmere i det følgende.The fillings 12 and 14, adjacent to the cross-cutter 20, are clamped between the pressure plate 40 and the cross-sectional body portion 22. Each fill is supported along its lower edge by a plurality of supports 46, 10, each consisting of a length of an aluminum profile, spaced apart. along the crossroads. Each carrier 46 is configured to abut against the sloping upper wall 26 of the nose portion 24 to provide a horizontal surface upon which the filling may rest. When the panel is a glass unit 14 as shown in FIG. 2, a frame block 48 of suitable material can be inserted between the filling and the carrier 46. The filling having a thickness less than the maximum that can be accommodated by the cross-cutter, as at the glass panel 14 in FIG. 2, 20 is a spacer 50, consisting of a length of aluminum profile, disposed between the filling 14 and the body of the spacer 22. The spacer 50 is secured to the spacer 22 by suitable means such as engaging elements on the spacer and the cross bar which allows snap-locking of the cross bar to the cross bar. Sealing gaskets 52 are disposed between the fillings and the body of the cross-cutter 22 and between the fillings and the pressure plate 40, the seals being held in channels 54 formed in the printing plate and in channels 56 in the body of the cross-cutter 22 or in the spacer 50. The packages are described in more detail below. .

Ifølge et andet træk ved opfindelsen er den nedre perifere del af trykpladen 40 udformet til dannel-35 se af en kanal 60, der kan optage vand, der løber fra næsedelen 24. Kanalen er dannet af en væg 62, derAccording to another feature of the invention, the lower peripheral portion of the pressure plate 40 is formed to form a channel 60 capable of receiving water flowing from the nasal portion 24. The channel is formed by a wall 62 which

DK 164958 BDK 164958 B

6 strækker sig opad fra trykpladens nedre væg 64. Væggen 62 strækker sig opad til en kant 66, der ligger nær ved, men i afstand fra næsedelen 24's nedre kant 70. Kanten 70 er udformet med et nedadrettet næb for 5 at hindre vand, der løber ned ad næsedelens lodrette flade 72, i at løbe ind på næsedelens nedre flade.6 extends upwardly from the lower wall 64 of the pressure plate. The wall 62 extends upwardly to an adjacent edge 66 but at a distance from the lower edge 70 of the nose portion 24. The edge 70 is formed with a downwardly directed beak to prevent water runs down the vertical surface 72 of the nose portion, into running into the lower surface of the nose portion.

Den øvre kant 66 af væggen 62 ligger i afstand bagud under næsens kant 70 og er af faset for at tilskynde vandet til at løbe ind i kanalen 60. Trykpla-10 den 40's nedre væg 64 er udformet med afløbsslid-ser 74 for at tillade vandet at undslippe.The upper edge 66 of the wall 62 is spaced backwards below the edge 70 of the nose and is of the phase to encourage the water to flow into the duct 60. The lower wall 64 of the pressure plate 10 is formed with drain slots 74 to allow the water to escape.

En dekorativ hætte 76 passer til at snappe over trykpladen 40. Den del af hætten 76, der ligger mod den nedre væg 64 af trykpladen er udformet med af-15 løbsslidser 78.A decorative cap 76 fits to snap over the pressure plate 40. The portion of the cap 76 lying against the lower wall 64 of the pressure plate is formed with drain holes 78.

Udformningen af den beskrevne udførelsesforms tværsprosse og trykplade sikrer at al fugtighed, der trænger ind mellem glasfyldninger 14 og trykpladen 40 eller tværsprossens krop 22, løber ned ad den hæl-20 dende platform, der dannes af næsedelen 24's øvre væg, og rettes ind i kanalen 60, hvorfra det kan løbe ud gennem slidserne 74 og 78. Samtidig er området oven over fyldningen 12's top åben til atmosfæren gennem slidserne 74 og 78, således at hele hulheden 25 mellem fyldningerne 12 og 14 og tværsprossen og trykpladen er ventileret og tillader fri cirkulation af luft for at hindre opbygning af fugtighed i hulningen.The design of the disclosed embodiment's transverse and pressure plate ensures that all moisture penetrating between glass fills 14 and the printing plate 40 or transverse body 22 runs down the sloping platform formed by the upper wall of the nose portion 24 and aligns into the channel. 60, from which it can extend through the slots 74 and 78. At the same time, the area above the top of the filler 12 is open to the atmosphere through the slots 74 and 78, so that the entire cavity 25 between the fills 12 and 14 and the cross-cutter and pressure plate is ventilated and allows free circulation of air to prevent moisture build-up in the cavity.

Som tidligere nævnt kan posterne 10 være fremstillet af samme ekstruderede del som tværsprosserne 30 20. Som vist i fig. 3 har hver post 10 en kropdel 122 og en næsedel 124. En trykplade 140, der på lignende måde er udformet af samme ekstruderede del som trykpladen 40 for hver tværsprosse, er fastgjort til næsen 120 ved hjælp af skruer 146 med mellemlæg af 35 afstandsstykker 144. De lodrette kanter af fyldningerne 12 og 14 gribes mellem trykpladerne 140 ogAs previously mentioned, the posts 10 may be made of the same extruded portion as the crossbars 30 20. As shown in FIG. 3, each post 10 has a body portion 122 and a nose portion 124. A pressure plate 140, similarly formed of the same extruded portion as the pressure plate 40 for each transverse, is secured to the nose 120 by means of screws 146 spaced by 35 spacers 144 The vertical edges of the fillings 12 and 14 are gripped between the printing plates 140 and

DK 164958 BDK 164958 B

7 postens krop 122 med mellemlagte pakninger 156 for at hindre vandutætheder. En dekorativ hætte 176 klemmes over trykpladen 140.7 the body of the post 122 with intermediate gaskets 156 to prevent water leaks. A decorative cap 176 is clamped over the pressure plate 140.

Hver tværsprosse 20 er ved hver ende føjet til 5 den tilstødende post 10 ved hjælp af tappe 80. Hver tap er en længde af aluminiumprofil, der har et således udformet tværsnit, at tappen passer tæt ind i tværsprossens næsedel 24's indre hulhed 32. Tappen 80 er udformet med to slidser 82, der kan optage skaf-10 terne af selvskærende skruer 84, ved hjælp af hvilke tappen er fastgjort til posten 10's næsedel 124.Each cross member 20 is joined at each end to the adjacent post 10 by pin 80. Each pin is a length of aluminum profile having a cross-section such that the pin fits snugly into the inner cavity 32. is formed with two slots 82 capable of accommodating the handles of self-tapping screws 84 by means of which the pin is secured to the nose portion 124 of the post 10.

Tappens side 86, der ligger an mod posten hælder således, at tappen strækker sig i samme retning som tværsprossen 20. Tværsprossen kan glide på tappen, såle-15 des at der kan optræde nogen bevægelse mellem tværsprossen og posten for at tillade termisk bevægelse.The side 86 of the pin abutting the post is inclined so that the pin extends in the same direction as the cross bar 20. The cross bar may slide on the pin, so that there may be some movement between the cross bar and the bar to allow thermal movement.

Tappene kan have et overtræk af plastic for at nedsætte friktionen mellem tap og tværsprosse.The pins may have a plastic coating to reduce the friction between pins and cross members.

Eftersom hver tap 80 i den beskrevne udførel-20 sesform er placeret inden i tværsprossens næsedel 24, er den anbragt direkte under fyldningen, der bæres af tværsprossen. Fyldningens vægt overføres derfor gennem tværsprossen til de tilstødende poster uden at der udøves noget drejningsmoment på tværsprossen, som det er 25 tilfældet ved de konventionelle systemer, hvori tappene optages i tværsprossens krop.Since each pin 80 in the described embodiment is positioned within the nose portion 24 of the transom, it is positioned directly below the filling carried by the transom. The weight of the filling is therefore transmitted through the crossbars to the adjacent posts without exerting any torque on the crossbars, as is the case with the conventional systems in which the pins are accommodated in the body of the crossbars.

I tilfælde, hvor der kræves ekstra styrke og stivhed kan yderligere tappe 88 anbringes ved hver ende af tværsprossen 20, idet hver tap 88 er udfor-30 met til at passe ind i tværsprossens krop.In cases where additional strength and stiffness are required, additional pins 88 may be provided at each end of the crossbreaker 20, each pin 88 being configured to fit into the body of the crossbreaker.

Lignende tappe, såsom tappen 180 i fig. 3, anvendes til at forbinde poster med en underkarm ved deres nedre ende og til konsoller, der er fastgjort til bygningsrammen, ved deres øvre ende, og til at føje sy-35 stemets elementer til hinanden.Similar pins, such as the pin 180 of FIG. 3 is used to connect posts to a subframe at their lower end and to brackets attached to the building frame at their upper end, and to add system elements to each other.

I den beskrevne udførelsesform er den samlede dimension fra for til bag af tværsprossens næsedel 24In the described embodiment, the overall dimension is from front to back of the cross member nose portion 24

DK 164958 BDK 164958 B

8 ca. 60 mm, medens den tilsvarende dimension af kropdelen 22 er ca. 30 mm. Den sidstnævnte dimension kan ændres afhængigt af belastningen, som curtain wall'en er beregnet til. Til meget lette belastninger kan krop-5 delen 22 være en plade, der er forsynet med forstærk ningsribber, i stedet for en kasseopbygning. Ved større belastninger kan dimensionen fra for til bag af kropdelen øges f.eks. op til 140 mm.8 approx. 60 mm, while the corresponding dimension of the body portion 22 is approx. 30 mm. The latter dimension can be changed depending on the load for which the curtain wall is intended. For very light loads, the body portion 22 may be a plate provided with reinforcing ribs, rather than a box structure. For larger loads, the dimension from front to back of the body part can be increased e.g. up to 140 mm.

For at tætne forbindelsen mellem hver tværsprosse 10 20’s krop 22 og den tilstødende post 10's krop 122 er en pakning 90, f.eks. af EPDM-skum, anbragt mellem enderne af kroppen 22 og posten. Hver pakning 90 består af et ark af materiale, der langs sin øvre og nedre kant er udformet med vulster 92, der rager 1 5 ud over kroppen 22' s øvre og nedre flader i samlingen mellem tværsprosse og post og således giver en dekorativ finish til samlingen. Hvor der anvendes en ekstra tap 88, er pakningen 90 forsynet med huller til optagelse af monteringsskruer for tappen.To seal the connection between the body of each transverse 10 20's body 22 and the body 122 of the adjacent post 10 is a gasket 90, e.g. of EPDM foam placed between the ends of the body 22 and the post. Each gasket 90 consists of a sheet of material formed along its upper and lower edges with beads 92 which protrude beyond the upper and lower surfaces of the body 22 in the joint between the cross members and the post, thus providing a decorative finish to assembly. Where an additional pin 88 is used, the gasket 90 is provided with holes for receiving mounting screws for the pin.

20 Hver tværsprosse 20's krop 22 ligger an mod sidefladen af den tilstødende post 10's krop 122, og en spalte efterlades derfor mellem enden af tværsprossens næsedel 24's forside og postens næsedel 124, hvilken spalte tappen 80 slår bro over. Ifølge 25 et andet træk ved opfindelsen er en spærreblok 94 anbragt i denne spalte for at hindre passage af fugt gennem spalten. Spærreblokken har en del 96, der er udformet til at passe ned over tappen 80' s øvre flade. Spærreblokkens flade 98, der støder op til pos-30 ten, hælder således at den passer tæt imod postens næsedel 124's flade. Efter indsætning af spærreblokken påføres en mastik for at tætne sammenføjningerne mellem spærreblokken og posten og tværsprossen. Spærreblokken holdes på plads af trykpladen 40. En lignende spærre-35 blok kan anvendes ved bunden af hver post til at danne bro over spalten mellem postens næsedel og underkarmen.20 The body 22 of each cross member 20 abuts against the side surface of the body 122 of the adjacent post 10, and a gap is therefore left between the end of the front of the cross member nose portion 24 and the nose portion 124 of the post, which gap pin 80 bridges. According to another feature of the invention, a blocking block 94 is disposed in this slot to prevent passage of moisture through the slot. The locking block has a portion 96 designed to fit down over the upper surface of the pin 80. The surface 98 of the locking block adjacent to the item 30 slopes so that it fits snugly against the surface of the nose portion 124 of the item. After inserting the locking block, a mastic is applied to seal the joints between the locking block and the post and crossbars. The locking block is held in place by the pressure plate 40. A similar locking block can be used at the bottom of each post to bridge the gap between the nose portion of the post and the lower frame.

De selvskærende skruer 84, der anvendes til at fastgøre hver tap 80 til posten 10 kan under nogle 5 forhold erstattes af bolte, der er indrettet til at gå igennem en tap, gennem postens næsedel 124, som tappen skal fastgøres til, og gennem den tilsvarende tap på den anden side af næsedelen, hvor hver bolt fastgøres ved hjælp af en møtrik, der ligger an imod den 10 tilsvarende tap. Fig. 5 viser et snit gennem en alternativ form for tap 180, der specielt er indrettet til at optage bolte i slidser 182. Fastgøring af tappene ved hjælp af bolte giver en stærkere opbygning og er særlig nyttig, hvor der skal understøttes relativt sto-15 re vægte, f.eks. hvor hver tværsprosse spænder over et forholdsvis langt stykke mellem tilstødende poster.The self-tapping screws 84 used to attach each stud 80 to the post 10 can, under some conditions, be replaced by bolts arranged to pass through a stud through the nose portion 124 of the post to which the stud is to be attached and through the corresponding tab on the other side of the nose portion, where each bolt is secured by a nut which abuts the corresponding 10 pins. FIG. 5 shows a section through an alternative form of pin 180 specially adapted to receive bolts in slots 182. Fastening of the pins by bolts gives a stronger structure and is particularly useful where relatively larger weights need to be supported. , eg. each transverse spans a relatively long distance between adjacent posts.

The branch 384 is secured to the wall 224 by a screw 385.

5 Den ydre del 230 og 330 af tværsprossen 220 og posten 310 er udformet med skrueriller til optagelse af skruer 370, der holder trykpladerne 372 på plads. Trykpladerne 372 virker på samme måde som de i den tidligere beskrevne udførelsesform til at fastspæn-1 o de fyldninger mellem trykpladerne og kropdelene af tværsprosserne og posterne og kan være udformet på samme måde. Fig. 6 og 7 viser alternative former for trykplader, der ikke kræver dekorative hætter. En central recess 374 i hver trykplade 372 kan lukkes med 15 en dekorativ del 376, der smæklåses ind i recessen.5 The outer portions 230 and 330 of the cross bar 220 and the post 310 are formed with screw grooves for receiving screws 370 holding the pressure plates 372 in place. The pressure plates 372 act in the same manner as those in the previously described embodiment for clamping the fillings between the pressure plates and the body parts of the crossbars and the posts and can be designed in the same way. FIG. 6 and 7 show alternative forms of printing plates that do not require decorative caps. A central recess 374 in each printing plate 372 may be closed by a decorative portion 376 which is snap-locked into the recess.

Som vist i fig. 7 er posten 310's kropdel 322 fastgjort til en tilpasningsdel 350, ved hjælp af hvilken posten kan fastgøres til en konstruktionsdel i bygningen, idet tilpasningsdelen holdes af en spændpla-20 de 352, der er boltet til konstruktionselementet. Tilpasningsdelen 350 kan være udformet i et med kropdelen 322.
