Abstract

1. Continuous double or quadruple skin weathertight glazing in which the sheets (1) are in honeycomb-structure extruded plastic material, in which the integration of part of the structure of the glazing sheets is achieved by means of the notching of the two opposite edges of each sheet over the whole length of a skin wall parallel to the lines of the structure and over a limited width approximately equal for each sheet in such a way as to form longitudinal toothings (38 and 39), followed by the interlocking of these toothings (38 and 39), characterized by the fact that the glazing sheets (1) are cold-formed, their solid junction being ensured by a fixing comprising at least one upper or lower stiffening rib, these sheets in addition bearing on an inclined plane of the trimmer plates (11) located on the structural roof opening, a commercial L-shaped member (20) covering the edges of the sheets over the whole of the two parallel lengths of the glazing and being fixed to the trimmers (11) in such a way that the edge of the said sheets is joined solidly to the said L-shaped member (20) and the said inclined plane of the trimmers (11).

Description

L'invention concerne un vitrage continu à double ou quadruple paroi en façade ou en toiture pouvant comporter des parties ouvrantes pour l'aération et l'évacuation des fumées et chaleurs en cas d'incendie, ainsi qu'un procédé et des dispositifs pour réaliser, suivant le même concept inventif général, la jonction étanche et solidaire des feuilles constituant ce vitrage, les parties ouvrantes, les parties terminales en forme de tympans voûtés et l'adaptation aisée de dispositifs accessoires en vue d'utilisations complémentaires.The invention relates to continuous double or quadruple wall glazing on the facade or on the roof, which may include opening parts for the ventilation and evacuation of smoke and heat in the event of fire, as well as a method and devices for producing , according to the same general inventive concept, the tight and integral junction of the sheets constituting this glazing, the opening parts, the terminal parts in the form of vaulted eardrums and the easy adaptation of accessory devices for additional uses.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un vitrage à double ou quadruple paroi continu étanche dont les feuilles sont en matière plastique extrudée à structure alvéolaire, dans lequel l'intégration d'une partie de la structure des feuilles de vitrage est réalisée par l'entaillage des deux bords opposés de chaque feuille sur toute la longueur d'une paroi parallèlement aux lignes de la structure et sur une petite largeur approximativement égale sur chaque feuille de manière à constituer des dentelures longitudinales, ensuite par l'emboîtement de ces dentelures entre elles.It relates more particularly to a glazing with double or quadruple sealed continuous wall, the sheets of which are made of extruded plastic with a honeycomb structure, in which the integration of part of the structure of the glazing sheets is carried out by notching the two edges. opposite of each sheet over the entire length of a wall parallel to the lines of the structure and over a small width approximately equal on each sheet so as to constitute longitudinal serrations, then by the interlocking of these serrations between them.

L'évolution de la construction dans les dix dernières années tend vers l'utilisation croissante de vitrages continus à double paroi en façades et en toitures.The evolution of construction in the last ten years tends towards the increasing use of continuous double-wall glazing in facades and roofs.

On connaît déjà, d'une part, les éléments de vitrage constitués de feuilles de verre, en polyvinylchloride, en polyester, en polyméthacrylate ou en polycarbonate, et la jonction étanche de ces éléments par d'innombrables systèmes principalement réalisés au moyen de profilés spéciaux extrudés en aluminium, avec l'adjonction éventuelle de joints d'étanchéité.We already know, on the one hand, the glazing elements made of glass sheets, polyvinylchloride, polyester, polymethacrylate or polycarbonate, and the tight connection of these elements by countless systems mainly made by means of special profiles extruded aluminum, with the possible addition of gaskets.

On connaît d'autre part en toiture, les lanterneaux continus construits de matériaux divers, avec charpente, sablières latérales, joints d'étanchéité, couvre-joints et tympans, les charpentes étant construites avec des systèmes de profilés spéciaux en aluminium extrudés, principalement des variantes en forme de «T» renversé dont les ailes latérales supportent les feuilles à joindre et dont l'âme verticale permet la fixation de couvre-joints.On the other hand, on the roof, continuous skylights constructed of various materials are known, with frame, side plates, seals, joint covers and eardrums, the frames being constructed with systems of special extruded aluminum profiles, mainly variants in the shape of an inverted “T” whose lateral wings support the sheets to be joined and whose vertical core allows the fixing of joint covers.

Dans une formule plus économique et industrielle, la charpente est supprimée par l'emploi d'éléments de vitrage nervurés, précintrés et au- toportants en polyester, dont l'étanchéité est imparfaite.In a more economical and industrial formula, the frame is eliminated by the use of ribbed, pre-bent and self-supporting polyester glazing elements, the sealing of which is imperfect.

On connaît plus spécialement le brevet FR-A-1 396414 qui concerne un joint de raccordement conformateur pour voûtes éclairantes continues en matière plastique transparente ou translucide, notamment pour voûtes à double paroi. Ainsi que le brevet DE-A-2 054 434 concernant un principe théorique de montage par emboîtement de plaques rigides profilées creuses disposées de manière étanche, sans cependant dévoiler aucun dispositif pour réaliser pratiquement ce principe.The patent FR-A-1 396414 is more particularly known, which relates to a shaping connection joint for continuous illuminating arches made of transparent or translucent plastic material, in particular for double wall arches. As well as patent DE-A-2 054 434 concerning a theoretical principle of mounting by interlocking of rigid hollow profiled plates arranged in leaktight manner, without however revealing any device for practically practicing this principle.

Et de même, le brevet US-A-3 762120 qui concerne un système de lanterneau de type continu composé d'une série de profilés spéciaux de forme générale en U qui n'assurent cependant guère d'étanchéité aux pluies, vents et poussières, tout spécialement dans les tympans qui sont toujours droits.Likewise, patent US-A-3 762120 which relates to a continuous type skylight system composed of a series of special profiles of general U-shape which, however, hardly seal against rain, wind and dust, especially in the eardrums which are always straight.

D'une manière générale, tous les composants des systèmes connus doivent être montés sur toiture, mis en place, ajustés avec précision, assemblés et fixés de manière totalement étanche aux pluies, vents et poussières, sur les ouvertures qu'ils doivent fermer.In general, all the components of the known systems must be mounted on the roof, set up, precisely adjusted, assembled and fixed in a completely sealed manner to rain, wind and dust, on the openings which they must close.

Ces techniques sont compliquées et nécessitent une main-d'oeuvre de pose importante et spécialisée dont l'activité est contrariée par les intempéries et qui constitue un élément très élevé du coût des vitrages continus.These techniques are complicated and require a large and specialized installation workforce whose activity is thwarted by bad weather and which constitutes a very high element of the cost of continuous glazing.

La présente invention a pour but d'obvier à ces inconvénients par la suppression de tous les profilés spéciaux et de tous les joints d'étanchéité, et la simplification extrême des techniques de construction de vitrage continu en utilisant le type de vitrage connu du DE-A-2 054 434.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by eliminating all special profiles and all seals, and the extreme simplification of continuous glazing construction techniques using the type of glazing known from DE- A-2,054,434.

Selon l'invention, on utilise donc des feuilles de vitrage en matière plastique extrudée de type structuré alvéolaire à double paroi, actuellement commercialisées en polycarbonate, en polyméthacrylate et en polyvinylchloride, et on réalise des vitrages continus dans lesquels tous les profilés spéciaux et onéreux sont supprimés, ainsi que les joints d'étanchéité et autres produits d'étanchéité.According to the invention, therefore, glazing sheets of extruded plastic of the double-walled structured honeycomb type, currently sold in polycarbonate, polymethacrylate and polyvinylchloride, are used, and continuous glazing is produced in which all the special and expensive profiles are removed, as well as seals and other sealants.

Selon l'invention, les feuilles de vitrage sont cintrées à froid et leur jonction solidaire est assurée par une fixation comprenant au moins un arceau supérieur ou inférieur. En outre, ces feuilles de vitrage sont appuyées sur un plan incliné des sablières situées sur les ouvertures de la toiture, un profilé marchand en forme de L recouvrant les bords des feuilles sur l'entièreté des deux longueurs parallèles du vitrage et étant fixé aux sablières de telle sorte que le bord des dites feuilles est solidarisé avec le dit profilé en forme de L et le dit plan incliné des sablières.According to the invention, the glazing sheets are cold bent and their integral junction is ensured by a fixing comprising at least one upper or lower arch. In addition, these glazing sheets are supported on an inclined plane of the sand pits located on the roof openings, an L-shaped merchant profile covering the edges of the sheets over the entire two parallel lengths of the glazing and being fixed to the sand pits. so that the edge of said sheets is secured to said L-shaped profile and said inclined plane of the sand pits.

Si une charpente est nécessaire, on remplace les profilés spéciaux par des métaux marchands de formes et de sections courantes.If a frame is necessary, the special sections are replaced by merchant metals of common shapes and sections.

Les avantages essentiels obtenus grâce à l'invention consistent en une simplification extrême de la construction de vitrages continus par la suppression des joints d'étanchéité et des profilés spéciaux, leur remplacement par des métaux marchands à bas prix, ainsi qu'une économie très importante dans la main-d'oeuvre de pose, permettant ainsi un abaissement considérable du prix de revient du vitrage, avec un résultat fonctionnel et esthétique de type résidentiel.The essential advantages obtained thanks to the invention consist in an extreme simplification of the construction of continuous glazing by the elimination of seals and special profiles, their replacement by low-cost merchant metals, as well as a very significant saving. in the installation labor, thus allowing a considerable reduction in the cost price of the glazing, with a functional and aesthetic result of the residential type.

En se référant à la fig. 1 on voit deux feuilles (1) en matière plastique alvéolaires, structurée et jointes (2) de manière étanche et solidaire par intégration de leur structure, la fixation d'une feuille (1) à l'autre étant réalisé par un moyen connu. Le bord contigu de chaque feuille (1') est entaillé sur toute la longueur d'une paroi parallèlement aux lignes de la structure et sur une petite largeur approximativement égale sur chaque feuille de manière à présenter une dentelure longitudinale (38 et 39). Ces dentelures sont emboîtées sur une partie (2) et les feuilles sont rendues solidaires par leur fixation avec des rondelles (3) en matière plastique transparente reliées par rivetage et sans adjonction de joint ou de produit quelconque d'étanchéité.Referring to fig. 1 we see two sheets (1) of cellular plastic, structured and joined (2) in a sealed and integral manner by integrating their structure, the fixing of a sheet (1) to the other being carried out by known means. The contiguous edge of each sheet (1 ') is notched over the entire length of a wall parallel to the lines of the structure and over a small width approximately equal on each sheet so as to have a longitudinal serration (38 and 39). These serrations are fitted onto a part (2) and the sheets are made integral by their fixing with washers (3) made of transparent plastic material connected by riveting and without the addition of any seal or any sealant.

En pratique il faut tenir compte de la matière constitutive de la feuille structurée, ainsi que des dimensions des canaux parallèles constituant la structure de cette feuille. C'est ainsi qu'il sera plus facile de réaliser l'entaillage par l'enlèvement complet de la partie de la paroi entaillée. L'on procédera de même avec une seconde feuille sur une largeur d'entaillage égale. L'intégration des structures par l'emboîtement de ces dentelures se fera alors avec la plus grande facilité.In practice, account must be taken of the material constituting the structured sheet, as well as the dimensions of the parallel channels constituting the structure of this sheet. This will make it easier to carry out the notching by removal complete with the part of the wall notched. We will do the same with a second sheet on an equal notching width. The integration of the structures by the interlocking of these serrations will then be done with the greatest ease.

L'on comprend que l'intégration des structures constitue des chicanes faisant obstacle à la pénétration des eaux pluviales et qu'une pression exercée sur les deux feuilles rendra l'étanchéité pratiquement totale. Si par accident un peu d'humidité pouvait traverser une chicane, elle serait normalement arrêtée par la chicane suivante et canalisée par la structure de la feuille pour être conduite naturellement par pesanteur à l'extrémité inférieure des canaux constitués par la structure alvéolaire des feuilles de vitrage.It is understood that the integration of the structures constitutes baffles preventing the penetration of rainwater and that a pressure exerted on the two sheets will make the sealing practically complete. If by accident a little humidity could pass through a baffle, it would normally be stopped by the next baffle and channeled by the structure of the leaf to be led naturally by gravity to the lower end of the channels formed by the alveolar structure of the leaves of glazing.

Un avantage essentiel de l'invention sur le plan économique consiste donc dans la suppression des joints et autres produits d'étanchéité et de leur pose à chaque jonction de feuille. Ces joints et leur pose constituent un élément important du prix de revient de la construction d'un vitrage continu et l'invention réalise cette économie; en outre les profilés spéciaux de jonction de vitrage actuellement en usage peuvent être totalement supprimés. En effet il est possible d'appliquer les feuilles de vitrage solidaires de l'invention sur des charpentes constituées de surfaces planes, ce qui permet d'utiliser du bois, des matières synthétiques, des métaux ou des fers ou aciers marchands, plats, «U", «T», «I», tubes creux ou autres, de formes et de sections courantes.An essential advantage of the invention on the economic level therefore consists in the elimination of seals and other sealants and their installation at each sheet junction. These joints and their installation constitute an important element of the cost price of the construction of a continuous glazing and the invention achieves this economy; in addition, the special glazing junction profiles currently in use can be completely eliminated. In fact, it is possible to apply the glazing sheets integral with the invention to frames made up of flat surfaces, which makes it possible to use wood, synthetic materials, metals or merchant bars, flat steel, U " ," T "," I ", hollow tubes or other, of common shapes and sections.

Pour obtenir un vitrage continu en forme cintrée (fig.2), on doit relier la première feuille (1) au châssis rectangulaire (5) par un tympan vertical (4).To obtain a continuous glazing in curved shape (fig. 2), the first sheet (1) must be connected to the rectangular frame (5) by a vertical tympanum (4).

Par contre, selon l'invention (fig. 3), on part de gauche à droite d'une première feuille de vitrage constituant un tympan voûté (6) cintré sous contrainte en forme de dôme, ensuite une première jonction étanche constituée d'un arceau porteur d'une intégration de structure (2) de feuilles (1), ensuite successivement des feuilles de vitrage (1) cintrées à froid dont la jonction est rendue étanche par l'intégration de structure (2) comme indiqué ci-avant.On the other hand, according to the invention (fig. 3), one starts from left to right of a first glazing sheet constituting a vaulted eardrum (6) curved under constraint in the shape of a dome, then a first sealed junction constituted by a hoop carrying a structural integration (2) of sheets (1), then successively glazed sheets (1) bent cold whose junction is made watertight by the integration of structure (2) as indicated above.

Un autre avantage de l'invention consiste donc dans la suppression de tous les profilés spéciaux et onéreux de jonction des feuilles de vitrage continu à double ou quadruple paroi.Another advantage of the invention therefore consists in the elimination of all the special and expensive sections for joining the double or quadruple wall continuous glazing sheets.

Les feuilles à double paroi sont cintrées à froid en combinaison simple ou double avec des arceaux supérieurs ou inférieurs solidarisés avec l'encadrement de l'ouverture dans la construction. C'est la manière la plus simple et la plus économique pour réaliser un vitrage continu étanche à double ou quadruple paroi. Et par exemple, comme visible à la fig. 4 d'un lanterneau cintré reposant sur une costière métallique dont on voit un unique arceau (10) recouvert d'une feuille de vitrage (1), ou encore, comme à la fig. 5, un lanterneau cintré reposant sur une sablière (11) fixée sur une élévation entourant l'ouverture dans la toiture dont on voit les deux feuilles (1) de vitrage séparées par l'arceau (10).The double-walled sheets are cold bent in a single or double combination with upper or lower arches secured to the frame of the opening in the construction. It is the simplest and most economical way to realize a double or quadruple wall waterproof continuous glazing. And for example, as visible in fig. 4 of a curved skylight resting on a metal curb of which we see a single arch (10) covered with a glazing sheet (1), or, as in fig. 5, a curved skylight resting on a plate (11) fixed on an elevation surrounding the opening in the roof, of which we see the two sheets (1) of glazing separated by the arch (10).

En se référant à la fig. 6, on voit que les dentelures longitudinales (38 ou 39) d'une feuille structurée à double paroi (1) sont d'abord fixées sur la partie médiane (13) d'un arceau (10) terminal du lanterneau, ensuite les deux côtés de cette feuille perpendiculaire à l'arceau (10) terminal sont fixés en leur partie médiane (14 et 15) en forme cintrée par contrainte et sans thermoformage sur le châssis (5), ensuite le quatrième côté est fixé de même en sa partie médiane (16) sur ce châssis (5), enfin la solidarisation totale de cette feuille structurée se termine par la fixation progressive et complète des côtés à partie des parties médianes vers les angles de cette feuille.Referring to fig. 6, it can be seen that the longitudinal serrations (38 or 39) of a structured double-walled sheet (1) are first fixed on the middle part (13) of a hoop (10) at the end of the skylight, then the two sides of this sheet perpendicular to the end hoop (10) are fixed in their middle part (14 and 15) in bent shape by constraint and without thermoforming on the frame (5), then the fourth side is fixed likewise in its part median (16) on this frame (5), finally the total joining of this structured sheet ends with the progressive and complete fixing of the sides from the middle parts towards the angles of this sheet.

Sur le châssis (5) (fig. 7), deux feuilles (1) structurées sont superposées avec écartement pour obtenir une couche d'air isothermique supplémentaire entre les quatre parois. De plus les structures sont disposées perpendiculairement pour réaliser un quadrillage procurant une excellente réfraction et diffusion des rayons solaires.On the frame (5) (fig. 7), two structured sheets (1) are superimposed with spacing to obtain an additional layer of isothermal air between the four walls. In addition, the structures are arranged perpendicularly to produce a grid providing excellent refraction and diffusion of the sun's rays.

Divers exemples de sablières (11) encadrant l'ouverture dans la toiture sont montrés dans les figs 8 à 12.Various examples of sand pits (11) framing the opening in the roof are shown in Figs 8 to 12.

Les feuilles (1) seront solidaires sur les arceaux (10) par des plats prenant ces feuilles en sandwich, au moins partiellement, ce qui sera particulièrement utile pour des vitrages de grandes largeurs, et par exemple comme à la fig. 13, un arceau (10) constitué d'un plat cintré à froid est fixé par son extrémité sur le plan incliné de la sablière (11). Sur cet arceau (10) repose une feuille de vitrage (1) dont le bord extérieur (18) est replié vers le bas et parallèle au flanc extérieur de la sablière (11). Un plat (19) cintré à froid recouvre la jonction intégrée de deux feuilles, et une cornière latérale (20) vient recouvrir le plat (19) et le bord replié (18) de la feuille de vitrage (1). Un moyen connu solidarise à la fois le plat (19), la cornière (20) et le bord replié de la feuille de vitrage (1) au flanc extérieur de la sablière (11).The sheets (1) will be secured to the arches (10) by dishes taking these sheets in sandwich, at least partially, which will be particularly useful for glazing of large widths, and for example as in FIG. 13, a hoop (10) consisting of a cold bent dish is fixed by its end to the inclined plane of the plate (11). On this arch (10) rests a glazing sheet (1) whose outer edge (18) is folded down and parallel to the outer flank of the sand pit (11). A cold bent dish (19) covers the integrated junction of two sheets, and a side angle (20) covers the dish (19) and the folded edge (18) of the glazing sheet (1). A known means secures both the dish (19), the angle iron (20) and the folded edge of the glazing sheet (1) to the outer flank of the sand pit (11).

Par contre, par exemple lorsque le flanc extérieur de la sablière (11) est relevé, il peut former butée pour recevoir un arceau (10) en forme de U (fig. 14). Lorsque la feuille de vitrage (1) est en forme de tympan voûté (6) (fig. 15), le bord extérieur (18) est également replié vers le bas et parallèle au flanc extérieur de la sablière (11).By cons, for example when the outer side of the plate (11) is raised, it can form a stop to receive a hoop (10) U-shaped (Fig. 14). When the glazing sheet (1) is in the form of a vaulted eardrum (6) (fig. 15), the outer edge (18) is also folded down and parallel to the outer flank of the sand pit (11).

Pour des lanterneaux de petites longueurs à tympans verticaux (fig. 16), la cornière (20) pourra être positionnée verticalement et parallèlement au flanc vertical de la sablière (11), type représenté à la fig. 12. On peut prévoir une seconde feuille de vitrage (1) inférieure qui peut être d'épaisseur moindre et dont la structure est perpendiculaire à celle de la feuille supérieure, l'arceau (10) en forme de U étant pris en sandwich entre les deux feuilles (1).For rooflights of short lengths with vertical eardrums (fig. 16), the angle iron (20) can be positioned vertically and parallel to the vertical side of the plate (11), type shown in fig. 12. It is possible to provide a second lower glazing sheet (1) which may be of smaller thickness and whose structure is perpendicular to that of the upper sheet, the U-shaped arch (10) being sandwiched between the two sheets (1).

On peut (figs 17 et 18) emboîter dans la cornière latérale (20) un couvre-joint (21) en forme de U renversé qui recouvre le tympan (4). Un plat (4a) fixe ainsi la partie inférieure du tympan vertical (4), plat (4a) de même largeur que la cornière latérale (20).We can (figs 17 and 18) fit into the side angle (20) a joint cover (21) in the shape of an inverted U which covers the eardrum (4). A flat (4a) thus fixes the lower part of the vertical eardrum (4), flat (4a) of the same width as the lateral angle (20).

Selon un mode de réalisation, une sablière (11), type représenté aux figs 8 ou 9, est d'abord réalisée tout autour de l'ouverture sur les élévations parallèles à la longueur du lanterneau. Des arceaux (10) sont ensuite posés par leurs extrémités sur la sablière (11) aux points de jonction intégrée des feuilles (1). Celles-ci sont alors posées sur les arceaux (10) en intégrant leurs structures (2), enfin un plat (19) vient recouvrir les jonctions intégrées. La fixation complète est assurée par une cornière venant recouvrir les extrémités des plats et les bords repliés des feuilles de vitrage. L'aile inférieure de ces cornières sera solidarisée par un moyen connu au flanc extérieur parallèle de la sablière. Dans un mode préférentiel, le flanc extérieur de la sablière (11) est relevé, formant butée pour recevoir les arceaux. Il peut être prolongé par un retour (figs 11 et 12) qui permettra de mieux bloquer l'arceau (fig. 14) et par exemple comme visible à la fig. 19, les deux feuilles de vitrage (1) à double paroi superposées et jointes solidairement par intégration (2) et séparées par un écarteur reposant sur un arceau (10) constitué d'un tube à l'extrémité duquel est fixé une calle (26) dans laquelle un trou (27) a été foré sur le fond duquel s'appuie un boulon (28) muni d'un écrou (29) opérant leur pression sur un élément approprié en L (30) fixé à l'extrémité d'un plat (19) recouvrant les bords intégrés de deux feuilles contiguës (7) composant le vitrage supérieur à double paroi, la jonction de ces feuilles étant rendue étanche par la pression du plat (19) sur les dentelures (38, 39) emboîtées en (2), un arceau intercalaire (10a) en U séparant le vitrage supérieur du vitrage inférieur de manière à constituer entre eux un matelas d'air aux fins d'isolation thermique et acoustique, le vitrage inférieur de moindre épaisseur ayant ses dentelures emboîtées et reposant sur l'arceau (10).According to one embodiment, a sand pit (11), of the type shown in figs 8 or 9, is first produced all around the opening on the elevations parallel to the length of the skylight. Poles (10) are then placed by their ends on the sandpit (11) at the integrated junction points of the sheets (1). These are then placed on the arches (10) integrating their structures (2), finally a flat (19) covers the integrated junctions. The complete fixing is ensured by an angle iron coming to cover the ends of the dishes and the folded edges of the glazing sheets. The lower wing of these angles will be secured by known means to the parallel outer flank of the sand pit. In a preferred embodiment, the outer flank of the plate (11) is raised, forming a stop for receiving the arches. It can be extended by a return (figs 11 and 12) which will better block the arch (fig. 14) and for example as visible in fig. 19, the two glazing sheets (1) with double walls superimposed and joined integrally by integration (2) and separated by a spacer resting on a hoop (10) consisting of a tube at the end of which is fixed a block (26 ) in which a hole (27) has been drilled on the bottom of which is supported a bolt (28) provided with a nut (29) operating their pressure on an appropriate L-shaped element (30) fixed to the end of a plate (19) covering the integrated edges of two contiguous sheets (7) composing the upper double-walled glazing, the junction of these sheets being sealed by the pressure of the plate (19) on the serrations (38, 39) fitted in (2), a U-shaped intermediate arch (10a) separating the upper glazing from the lower glazing so as to constitute between them an air mattress for the purpose of thermal and acoustic insulation, the lower glazing of lesser thickness having its serrations nested and resting on the arch (10).

Comme visible à la fig. 20, la pièce (30) fixée aux extrémités du plat (19), comporte des perforations (30a) destinées à recevoir les boulons (28).As shown in fig. 20, the part (30) fixed to the ends of the plate (19), comprises perforations (30a) intended to receive the bolts (28).

A la fig. 21, on voit dans l'extrémité du tube creux formant arceau (10) deux calles (26) munies d'une cavité (27), et au-dessus de l'arceau (10), la jonction (2) solidaire par intégration de deux feuilles de vitrage (1), ensuite au-dessus un écarteur en U (10a) constituant une couche d'air entre les deux vitrages à double paroi du lanterneau, ensuite à nouveau les dentelures emboîtées (2) de deux feuilles de vitrage (1), enfin pour terminer le plat (19) à l'extrémité duquel est accroché l'élément (30) de fixation des boulons (28) qui exercent la fonction de compression étanche des dentelures emboîtées, zone de jonction (2).In fig. 21, we see in the end of the hollow tube forming an arch (10) two calluses (26) provided with a cavity (27), and above the arch (10), the junction (2) integral by integration of two glazing sheets (1), then above a U-shaped spacer (10a) constituting an air layer between the two double-wall glazing of the skylight, then again the interlocking serrations (2) of two glazing sheets (1), finally to finish the plate (19) at the end of which is hung the element (30) for fixing the bolts (28) which exert the sealed compression function of the nested serrations, junction zone (2).

Une caractéristique de l'invention est ce boulon (28) qui s'appuie sur une extrémité (26) d'un arceau (10) pour tendre le plat (19) et compresser la jonction intégrée (2) de deux feuilles de vitrage (1) de manière étanche. On en retire une économie au montage des lanterneaux en atelier ou sur chantier par la suppression de tous les produits d'étanchéité, et par l'emploi des pièces courantes.A feature of the invention is this bolt (28) which rests on one end (26) of a hoop (10) to tension the flat (19) and compress the integrated junction (2) of two glazing sheets ( 1) tightly. An economy is obtained when mounting the skylights in the workshop or on site by eliminating all sealants, and by using common parts.

Pour une voûte filante réalisée par l'assemblage d'éléments de couverture préfabriqués en atelier, on va commencer de préférence (fig. 22) par l'assemblage de tôles pliées de grandes longueurs de manière à constituer tout autour de l'ouverture de la toiture un châssis (5) formant rehausse et sur lequel viendront se poser les éléments préfabriqués de couverture vitrée (33), de préférence constitués de deux arceaux reliés à leurs extrémités par une pièce se prolongeant pour rejoindre l'arceau de l'élément préfabriqué suivant. Les pièces contiguës (36) doivent être conçues de manière à permettre leur solidarisation. Des tympans verticaux (4) viennent compléter chaque extrémité du lanterneau pour fermer celui-ci de manière étanche comme montré aux figs 17 et 18.For a shooting vault made by assembling prefabricated roofing elements in the workshop, we will preferably start (fig. 22) by assembling folded sheets of great lengths so as to constitute all around the opening of the roofing a frame (5) forming an extension and on which the prefabricated glass cover elements (33) will be placed, preferably consisting of two arches connected at their ends by a piece extending to join the arch of the following prefabricated element . The adjoining parts (36) must be designed to allow them to be joined. Vertical eardrums (4) complete each end of the rooflight to close it tightly as shown in figs 17 and 18.

Comme visible à la fig. 23, la pièce terminale de l'élément précédent vient se fixer sur l'arceau de l'élément suivant de manière à solidariser les parties correspondantes des éléments de couverture (33) correspondants; et respectivement aux figs 24 à 26, on voit l'assemblage d'un arceau (10) en tube creux et un profilé U latéral (37), l'arceau médian (10) et ce même profilé, et l'aile inférieure d'un profilé (37) découpée de manière à permettre l'emboîtement (36) par superposition des pièces contiguës.As shown in fig. 23, the end piece of the previous element is fixed on the hoop of the next element so as to secure the corresponding parts of the corresponding cover elements (33); and respectively in FIGS. 24 to 26, we see the assembly of a hoop (10) in hollow tube and a lateral U profile (37), the middle hoop (10) and this same profile, and the lower wing d 'a profile (37) cut so as to allow the nesting (36) by superposition of adjoining parts.

Comme visible aux figs 27 et 29, la charpente constituée des pièces (10) et (37) est recouverte d'une feuille de vitrage (1) à structure alvéolaire. L'on remarque que la paroi supérieure de cette feuille (1') a été enlevée de façon à dégager trois canaux parallèles ou dentures (38) (fig. 28) longeant un bord cintré de la feuille (1) au-dessus d'un arceau en tube creux. De même la paroi inférieure de la feuille (1') a été enlevée de manière à dégager trois canaux parallèles ou dentures (39) (fig. 30) tout au long du bord cintré de l'élément de couverture, bord ne comprenant pas l'arceau puisqu'il doit venir se poser sur le premier arceau de l'élément suivant (33).As shown in Figs 27 and 29, the frame made up of parts (10) and (37) is covered with a glazing sheet (1) with a honeycomb structure. Note that the upper wall of this sheet (1 ') has been removed so as to release three parallel channels or teeth (38) (fig. 28) along a curved edge of the sheet (1) above a hollow tube arch. Likewise, the lower wall of the sheet (1 ′) has been removed so as to release three parallel channels or teeth (39) (fig. 30) all along the curved edge of the covering element, edge not including the 'hoop since it must come to rest on the first hoop of the next element (33).

En se référant aux figs 31 à 34, on voit en plus les cornières (20) bloquant l'élément de couverture (33). L'on remarquera en (40) une vue partielle éclatée du plat (19) repris en section en (41) et sa fixation à l'élément de couverture qui est réalisée par un simple crochet (42).Referring to Figs 31 to 34, we can also see the angles (20) blocking the cover element (33). It will be noted in (40) a partial exploded view of the dish (19) taken up in section in (41) and its attachment to the cover element which is produced by a simple hook (42).

En se référant aux figs 35 à 39, on voit les dispositions prises lorsqu'on prévoit un élément préfabriqué à quatre parois que l'on peut très facilement adapter par simple superposition. La combinaison de ces quatre parois permet d'obtenir une isolation thermique et acoustique de performance absolument supérieure (K = 1,17 à 1,56 Kcal/m2h °C).Referring to Figs 35 to 39, we see the arrangements made when providing a prefabricated element with four walls that can be easily adapted by simple superposition. The combination of these four walls provides absolutely superior thermal and acoustic insulation (K = 1.17 to 1.56 Kcal / m2h ° C).

On a représenté aux figs 35 et 39, respectivement, une extrémité où l'on voit le serrage du plat (19) par un boulon (28) avec un écrou (29) s'appuyant dans la cavité (27) de la calle placée à l'extrémité de l'arceau (10) et à l'autre extrémité (fig. 39) l'arceau (10) et le plat (19) prenant en sandwich les deux vitrages à double paroi, séparés par un écarteur ou intercalaire (10a) et qui sont eux-mêmes tenus par une cornière (20), celle-ci étant munie d'un crochet (42).There is shown in Figs 35 and 39, respectively, one end where we see the tightening of the flat (19) by a bolt (28) with a nut (29) resting in the cavity (27) of the calle placed at the end of the arch (10) and at the other end (fig. 39) the arch (10) and the plate (19) sandwiching the two double-walled glazing, separated by a spacer or spacer (10a) and which are themselves held by an angle iron (20), the latter being provided with a hook (42).

On voit également aux figs 36 à 38, l'arceau inférieur (10), le plat supérieur (19) et l'écarteur ou arceau intercalaire (10a) entre les deux vitrages (1) et plus particulièrement que le plat inférieur (43) déborde de l'arceau (10) sur lequel il est fixé, bord destiné à supporter le vitrage inférieur de l'élément de couverture contigu.We also see in figs 36 to 38, the lower arch (10), the upper plate (19) and the spacer or intermediate arch (10a) between the two panes (1) and more particularly that the lower plate (43) protrudes from the arch (10) on which it is fixed, edge intended to support the lower glazing of the contiguous covering element.

Pour réaliser un lanterneau cintré (fig. 40) en forme de voûte filante composé d'un châssis (5) sur lequel repose de gauche à droite un tympan latéral (4), on prévoit une première feuille (1) de vitrage fixe recouverte sur toute sa longueur d'un couvre-joint en U renversé (21) pour la solidariser à l'arceau du tympan (4), ensuite une feuille de vitrage (1) dont la structure est intégrée sur toute sa longueur (2) aussi bien à la première feuille (1) qu'à la troisième feuille (1).To make a curved skylight (fig. 40) in the form of a shooting vault composed of a frame (5) on which rests from left to right a lateral eardrum (4), a first sheet (1) of fixed glazing is provided covered on its entire length with an inverted U-shaped joint cover (21) to secure it to the arch of the eardrum (4), then a glazing sheet (1) whose structure is integrated over its entire length (2) as well to the first sheet (1) than to the third sheet (1).

Un rectangle métallique fixe partiellement la première feuille à la seconde et la seconde à la troisième sur les arceaux correspondants. Les deux côtés libres du rectangle constituent les dormants des deux vantaux et sont constitués par les deux parties opposées et libres de la seconde feuille de vitrage.A metal rectangle partially fixes the first sheet to the second and the second to the third on the corresponding hoops. The two free sides of the rectangle constitute the frames of the two leaves and are formed by the two opposite and free parts of the second glazing sheet.

A la fig. 40, on a représenté deux vantaux ouverts en position d'exutoires, tandis que trois autres vantaux sont en position de ventilation et d'aération et un vantail est fermé.In fig. 40, there are shown two leaves open in the outlet position, while three other leaves are in the ventilation and ventilation position and one leaf is closed.

En se référant à la fig. 41, on voit des éléments de vitrage fixes combinés avec des éléments comportant une partie centrale supérieure fixe et deux parties ouvrantes. A gauche, les deux parties sont en position ouverte et permettent une véritable ventilation transversale. Par contre, au centre, le vantail en position fermée empêche le vent de pénétrer et favorise l'aspiration par le vantail opposé. A droite, le vantail ouvert en position d'exutoire combiné avec l'ouverture du vantail opposé favorise l'extraction de la fumée et de la chaleur, le vent pouvant traverser le lanterneau de part en part.Referring to fig. 41, we see fixed glazing elements combined with elements comprising a fixed upper central part and two opening parts. On the left, the two parts are in the open position and allow true cross ventilation. On the other hand, in the center, the leaf in the closed position prevents the wind from penetrating and promotes suction by the opposite leaf. On the right, the leaf opened in the outlet position combined with the opening of the opposite leaf favors the extraction of smoke and heat, the wind being able to pass through the skylight right through.

En se référant aux figs 42 et 43, on voit le principe d'étanchéité des deux côtés parallèles (61 et 62) de la partie ouvrante (49) du vitrage, les dentelures (39) allant s'intégrer dans les dentelures (38) correspondantes de la feuille de vitrage fermée.Referring to Figs 42 and 43, we can see the sealing principle of the two parallel sides (61 and 62) of the opening part (49) of the glazing, the serrations (39) going to be integrated in the serrations (38) of the closed glazing sheet.

En se référant aux figs 44 et 45, on voit un mode préférentiel de réalisation du quatrième côté (69) de la partie ouvrante (49) en position fermée. L'eau de ruissellement recueillie par la partie fixe supérieure du vitrage ne peut pas pénétrer à l'intérieur puisque la feuille de vitrage est continue, et il est impossible à l'eau de ruissellement provenant tant de la partie fixe que de la partie ouvrante (49), celle-ci étant ouverte (fig. 45), de pénétrer à l'intérieur puisque la feuille de vitrage est continue.Referring to Figs 44 and 45, we see a preferred embodiment of the fourth side (69) of the opening part (49) in the closed position. The runoff collected by the upper fixed part of the glazing cannot penetrate inside since the glazing sheet is continuous, and it is impossible for the runoff water coming from both the fixed part and the opening part (49), the latter being open (fig. 45), to penetrate inside since the glazing sheet is continuous.

Sous un autre angle, on voit à la fig. 46, un vantail ouvert par un piston à gaz activant un levier unique et central. Les dentelures latérales (39) mobiles du vantail correspondent aux dentelures (38) fixes pour constituer les chicanes d'étanchéité.From another angle, we see in fig. 46, a leaf opened by a gas piston activating a single, central lever. The movable lateral serrations (39) of the leaf correspond to the fixed serrations (38) to form the sealing baffles.

A la fig. 47, on applique l'invention à un vitrage continu vertical.In fig. 47, the invention is applied to vertical continuous glazing.

Claims (8)

1. Continuous double or quadruple skin weath- ertight glazing in which the sheets (1) are in honeycomb-structure extruded plastic material, in which the integration of part of the structure of the glazing sheets is achieved by means of the notching of the two opposite edges of each sheet over the whole length of a skin wall parallel to the lines of the structure and over a limited width approximately equal for each sheet in such a way as to form longitudinal toothings (38 and 39), followed by the interlocking of these toothings (38 and 39), characterized by the fact that the glazing sheets (1) are cold-formed, their solid junction being ensured by a fixing comprising at least one upper or lower stiffening rib, these sheets in addition bearing on an inclined plane of the trimmer plates (11) located on the structural roof opening, a commercial L-shaped member (20) covering the edges of the sheets over the whole of the two parallel lengths of the glazing and being fixed to the trimmers (11) in such a way that the edge of the said sheets is joined solidly to the said L-shaped member (20) and the said inclined plane of the trimmers (11).
2. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with Claim 1, characterized by the fact that the glazing sheets (1) are cold-formed on to the stiffening ribs to which they are solidly joined by flat (19) which sandwich these sheets.
3. Continuous double-or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with Claim 2, characterized by the fact that the ends of the flat sections (19) are covered by a reversed L-shaped element (30) which on one side protects a hook (42) or another existing type of fixing device, and on the other, a bolt (28) and a nut (29) which exert a pressure on the integrated structures by means of the fixing of the bolt into a wedge (26) which is provided with a cavity (27) situated at the ends of the ribs (10) and at the bottom of which the bolt (28) exerts its pressure.
4. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with one or other of Claims 1 to 3, characterized by the fact that the cold-formed sheets (1) are fixed on to trimmers (11) situated on the structural roof openings, the angle pieces (20) being fixed to the trimmers (11), these fixings at the same time providing a solid joining of the edge (1') of the sheets (1), the trimmers (11) being moulded and formed of at least one horizontal plane, then a slightly inclined plane approximately parallel to the sheet's inclination, and finally an approximately vertical plane forming the external face against which is fixed the lateral angle piece (20) and if necessary the folded edge (18) of the glazing sheet.
5. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with one or other of Claims 1 to 3, characterized by the fact that the sheets bear on trimmers (11) with an upstanding external face which may preferably be extended by a return end, thus forming an abutment to receive and more easily fix the double-skin sheets, which may be backed by a second cold-formed continuous double-skin glazing bearing on the trimmer's (11) return ends, the edges of the sheets being folded downwards (18) and fixed to the wall plates by existing methods.
6. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with one or other of Claims 1 to 5, characteristized by the fact that the longitudinal toothings (38) of a double-skin structured sheet (1) are initially fixed on to the middle section (13) of a terminal rib (10) of the glazing, then the two sides of this sheet at right angles to the terminal rib are fixed by their middle section (14 and 15) in curved form by constraint and without hot-bending on to the base frame (5), then the fourth side is fixed in the same way in its middle section (16) on to this frame (5), finally the fully solid jointing of this sheet is completed by the progressive and complete fixing of the sides from the middle sections out towards the angles of this sheet (1, 6).
7. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with one or other of Claims 1 to 6, characterized by the fact that the glazed covering elements are prefabricated at works and composed of sheets cold-formed on to two ribs (10) one of which is central and covered by a flat plate (19) which sandwiches the sheet, a lateral L-shaped (20) or lateral U-section (37) which covers at the same time the ribs, the edges of the sheets (18) and the flat plates (19), fixing by existing means and preferably by a hook (42) and a bolt (28) the corresponding interlocked ends (36) of the prefabricated elements, a lower flat member (43) which permits the fixing of a multiple skin glazing on to a frame (5) around the structural roof opening.
8. Continuous double or quadruple-skin weath- ertight glazing in accordance with Claim 1 with an opening section (49), characterized by the omission of weatherproofing joints on at least three sides of the opening in the glazing, two parallel sides (61 and 62) of the mobile part being weather- proofed by the integration of their structure, the integration of their structure, the hinged side joining these two parallel sides being formed by simply folding the mobile part of the glazing sheet (1), one internal piece and one external piece linking the ribs and the two fixed lateral sheets of the upper side of the opening section of the glazing which is thus sandwiched, the fourth side (69) of the opening section being reinforced by a member which is solidly joined with the opening and closure mechanism of the opening section.
