Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to claddings including panel assemblies, and in particular to claddings for buildings.
  • John Lysaght (Australia) Limited has been marketing a system in which clips are fixed onto purlins, a rib of a panel is fitted under one part of the clip and interlocks with the clip, and a rib of a further panel is forced downwardly onto the already located panel and clip to interlock therewith.
  • the clip in fact, has a second formation for fitting into and interlocking with a further rib of the overlapping panel.
  • This system has, for good reason, achieved success in Australia.
  • the clips are not designed to strengthen the ribs of the panels to the extent that may sometimes be required.
  • Neither of these systems provides specifically for relative movement of the cladding panels relative to the structure in the event of expansion and contraction of the panels.
  • a cladding comprising a panel assembly formed by a plurality of panels having overlapping portions connected to one another and brackets connecting the panel assembly to a structure, the brackets comprising elongate elements each bent to form at least three rib-locating sections fitting within ribs of the panels and at least partly diverging from flank surfaces of the respective ribs in which they are received.
  • the panels of the panel assembly may be connected substantially rigidly to one another by fasteners passing through the panels and spaced from the structure. Sealed rivets or drill screws may be particularly suitable as fasteners because they can be located in place from the top of the assembly without undue difficulty.
  • Any suitable washers or gaskets may be used to provide a seal at the fasteners and a suitable sealant may be included between the overlapping portions of the panels to provide a seal between the panels.
  • the overlapping portions can be drawn together by the fasteners to help create a particularly satisfactory seal.
  • the overlapping portions may alternatively or additionally be connected to one another by suitable complementary formations inhibiting separation thereof.
  • the complementary formations of the panels may then be shaped to be forced into mating relationship with one another, for example by providing one panel with at least one downwardly facing shoulder at the overlapping location and by designing the other overlapping formation so that it is, in effect, a snap fit beneath the shoulder.
  • brackets supported by the structure on opposite sides of their rib-locating sections can facilitate strengthening of panel assemblies.
  • the brackets may be suitably wide strips of any satisfactory metal having the rib-locating sections spaced along their lengths with parts of the brackets between these sections resting on the structure.
  • the rib-locating sections fit into some or all of the ribs of the panel assembly and may be dimensioned so that they extend to and lie against central parts of ribs of the panel assembly and support the ribs, especially in the region of the overlapping portions of the ribs. If the ribs have suitably flat central strips, the rib-locating sections may have central portions of approximately the same width as the width of these strips to locate the central strips of the ribs.
  • the provision of brackets each having a length such that it engages several panels also serves for simplifying location of the panels.
  • the rib-locating sections of the brackets may have sides extending substantially perpendicularly away from the adjacent parts of the brackets or from the structure to strengthen the panel assembly. This will automatically provide for the sides of the sections to diverge away from flank surfaces of most panels, such as integral box rib panels.
  • the brackets may be connected to the ribs by fasteners passing through the panels and brackets and spaced from the structure but may additionally or alternatively be connected thereto by having formations which are suitably complementary to the formations of the panels and which co-operate therewith.
  • the bracket may have a downwardly facing shoulder for engagement by one of the panels in a manner similar to that connecting the panels.
  • the brackets may have relatively narrow portions for resting on the structure and raised panel supporting portions engaging the panels.
  • Suitable friction-reducing material may be located between the brackets and the structure, and insulators may be- provided between the bracket and the panel to reduce metal-to-metal contact when metal panels and brackets are used.
  • the bracket may be coated with plastics material, if desired, instead of or in addition to the friction-reducing material and the insulators.
  • brackets may include slots or openings through which fasteners may pass. These slots or openings may be suitably larger than the part of the fastener within the openings so that the brackets can move with respect to the structure upon expansion or contraction of the panel assembly.
  • the openings or slots may be formed so that the heads of the fasteners fit within strengthening ribs in the panels or so that they fit within the ribs of the panel assembly.
  • a cladding 10 comprises a panel assembly 12 formed by a plurality of panels 14 having overlapping portions 16 connected to one another.
  • Each of the panels comprises a plurality of ribs 18 including marginal ribs which have shortened outer flanks and which fit snugly one into another to provide the overlapping portions of the panels.
  • the brackets 20 are elongated elements each having at least three rib-locating sections 24 fitting within the ribs 18 of the panel assembly. As shown, a rib-locating section extends into each rib of each assembly.
  • each bracket 20 is a strip of metal having the rib-locating sections 24 spaced along its length. Parts of the brackets between the sections are relatively flat so that they can rest on the structure. These parts of the brackets contain slots 26 which extend transversely to the length of the brackets and are located so that they are centrally beneath strengthening ribs 28 of the panels, as in Figures 1 and 7, or beneath the ribs 18 of the panel assembly, as in Figures 6 and 12, when the panel assembly is located on the brackets. Fasteners 30 can thus be passed through these slots into suitable holes formed in purlins 22.
  • the fasteners 30 may be drill screws or, as shown, rivets passing through the slots 26 and through holes drilled in the purlins 22, washers 32 being placed above the bracket to prevent the rivets from passing completely through the slots 26.
  • the slots are wider and longer than the parts of the fasteners received within them, and this enables the brackets to move to a limited extent on the purlins to allow for differential expansion and contraction of the panels.
  • the rib-locating sections of the brackets are designed so that they extend to and have central strips which lie against substantially flat central strips 34 of the ribs of the panel assembly. If required, when metal panels and brackets are used, insulation may be included to reduce metal-to-metal contact.
  • the rib-locating sections have central portions of approximately the same width as the width of the strips to locate the central strips of the ribs.
  • the rib-locating sections of the brackets have downwardly facing shoulders provided by upper sides of grooves in the sides of the sections 24.
  • the rib-locating sections also have upper portions 35 which are complementary to the ribs of the panels from the grooves to central strips 24.2 of the sections 24.
  • the inner of the panels 14 are secured to the brackets by formations fitting onto the portions 35 and snap-fitting beneath shoulders 24.1.
  • the inner panels themselves provide downwardly facing shoulders 14.1 and the outer panels have formations which fit in a similar snap-fitting manner beneath these shoulders.
  • the ribs of the panels 14 are all secured to rib-locating sections of the brackets and, where the panels overlap, to one another by sealed rivets 36 which pass through the panels and the brackets through holes drilled in the panels and brackets.
  • the rivets may be deformed from the external side of the panel assembly by a rivet gun to form a rigid fastening.
  • Gaskets 38 are provided to form a seal in the region of the rivets, which are sealed rivets. Instead of rivets, drill screws or other suitable fasteners can be used.
  • a suitable sealant can be provided between the overlapping portions of the panels, and rivets 36 can draw the overlapping portions together to compress the sealant and to help to form a particularly satisfactory seal.
  • the brackets may be formed from any suitable material, such as steel, and may have a minimum thickness of, for example, 0,8 mm.
  • the width of the brackets may be at least 35 mm, for example, 50 mm, and the slots may be from 15 to 25 mm long and 5 to 8 mm wide. Slots 20 mm long and 6 mm wide would be suitable.
  • the brackets are suitable for attaching panels of different materials to the structure and, may, for example, be used for panels of asbestos or glassfibre- reinforced plastics material.
  • Figures 6 and 12 are similar to Figures 1 to 5 and 7 to 11, respectively, but each bracket is modified by having relatively narrow structure-engaging portions 40 adjacent to the rib-locating sections 26 and at suitable spacings between these sections. These portions 40 reduce the friction between the structure and the brackets.
  • the brackets of the cladding of Figures 6 and 12 are also coated with a suitable plastics material to further reduce this friction.
  • each bracket has its rib-locating section formed with sides which are substantially perpendicular to the adjacent parts of the bracket and to the surface of the structure on which the bracket is supported.
  • the central stips of the rib-locating sections and the ribs are of substantially the same width and lie against one another, as shown, and the flanks of each rib diverge away from one another as they extend from the central strips. The result is that the sides of the rib-locating sections and the flanks of the respective ribs diverge, and a cavity is formed between the inner surfaces of the flanks and the adjacent sides of the sections. This arrangement can help to strengthen the panel assembly.
