Description

L'invention se rapporte à un panneau de verre constitué d'au moins deux vitres disposées parallèlement entre elles, à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre.The invention relates to a glass panel consisting of at least two panes arranged parallel to each other, at a certain distance from one another.

Notamment, mais non exclusivement, l'invention intéresse la fabrication de panneaux de verre destinés à la réalisation de baies vitrées thermiquement et phoniquement isolantes.In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to the manufacture of glass panels intended for the production of thermally and phonically insulating picture windows.

Dans ce domaine, pour assembler entre elles des vitres disposées parallèlement, il est connu, par exemple (FR-A-2 546 221), de les réunir par leurs bords périphériques en les emprisonnant dans un encadrement.In this field, in order to assemble panes arranged in parallel between them, it is known, for example (FR-A-2 546 221), to join them by their peripheral edges by trapping them in a frame.

Outre que cet encadrement permet de préserver l'espacement préétabli entre les vitres, il comporte des moyens en vue de fermer hermétiquement le volume compris entre les dites vitres.Besides that this framing makes it possible to preserve the predetermined spacing between the panes, it includes means with a view to hermetically closing the volume comprised between said panes.

L'encadrement constitue également un moyen de montage du panneau sur une structure telle un chas- sis.The frame also constitutes a means of mounting the panel on a structure such as a frame.

On sait que ces encadrements sont généralement réalisés à partir de profilés longilignes de section transversale en «U» et qui sont réunis par des équerres d'angle.We know that these frames are generally made from elongated sections of cross section in "U" and which are joined by angle brackets.

Compte tenu du poids des vitres, les encadrements doivent être résistants et donc avoir une section transversale adaptée aux efforts qu'ils supportent.Given the weight of the panes, the frames must be resistant and therefore have a cross section adapted to the forces they support.

Pour leur réalisation, on utilise couramment l'aluminium mais les encadrements de ce type sont tout de même relativement lourds et plutôt onéreux.Aluminum is commonly used for their production, but frames of this type are still relatively heavy and rather expensive.

Pour tenter de remédier à cet inconvénient et réduire la quantité de matériau utilisé pour constituer l'encadrement, il est connu (FR-A-2 349 021) d'utiliser des vitres dont l'une est de dimensions sensiblement inférieures à l'autre, d'assembler ces vitres au moyen de simple baguettes de scellement et de ne former un encadrement qu'autour d'une seule vitre et notamment autour de celle de plus grandes dimensions.In an attempt to remedy this drawback and reduce the amount of material used to form the frame, it is known (FR-A-2 349 021) to use panes, one of which is of dimensions substantially smaller than the other. , to assemble these panes by means of simple sealing rods and to form a frame only around a single pane and in particular around that of larger dimensions.

Ces dispositions permettent un gain important sur le poids de matériau d'assemblage utilisé, mais la réalisation de panneaux vitrés selon ces mêmes dimensions est relativement longue et complexe.These arrangements allow a significant saving on the weight of assembly material used, but the production of glazed panels according to these same dimensions is relatively long and complex.

Pour obvier à ces inconvénients, il est connu (EP-136 064) de réaliser l'assemblage de feuilles de verre parallèles au moyen d'un joint en matériau adhésif et ce en préservant l'espacement entre les vitres au moyen d'un cadre rigide qui forme entretoise entre les dites vitres et support pour le matériau adhésif.To overcome these drawbacks, it is known (EP-136 064) to assemble parallel glass sheets by means of an adhesive material seal, while preserving the spacing between the panes by means of a frame. rigid which forms a spacer between the said panes and support for the adhesive material.

L'assemblage des panneaux ainsi constitués à un support tel une structure s'effectue au moyen d'organes d'ancrage qui traversent les angles de l'une des vitres et notamment de la vitre destinée à être placée en extérieur de la construction réalisée dite vitre frontale.The assembly of the panels thus formed to a support such as a structure is carried out by means of anchoring members which pass through the corners of one of the panes and in particular of the pane intended to be placed outside of the construction produced called front window.

Bien entendu, la vitre intérieure dite dorsale présente, dans les coins, des découpes qui permettent le passage des organes d'ancrage vers la structure support.Of course, the so-called back interior glass has, in the corners, cutouts which allow the passage of the anchoring members towards the support structure.

Cette solution permet de réaliser des constructions audacieuses pratiquement sans éléments de fixation apparaissant extérieurement.This solution makes it possible to produce daring constructions practically without fixing elements appearing externally.

Mais, en cas de rupture de la vitre reliée à la structure support par les organes d'ancrage, l'autre vitre se trouvant sans support tombe systématiquement, ce qui va à l'encontre de la sécurité.However, in the event of the glass connected to the support structure breaking by the anchoring members, the other window being without support systematically falls, which goes against safety.

Un résultat que l'invention vise à obtenir est un panneau de verre du type précité et comprenant donc, au moins, une vitre frontale et une vitre dorsale assemblées entre elles par un joint en matériau adhésif qui, tout en étant auto-porteur ne présente pas ce genre d'inconvénient.A result which the invention aims to obtain is a glass panel of the aforementioned type and therefore comprising, at least, a front window and a back window assembled together by a seal made of adhesive material which, while being self-supporting, does not have not that kind of inconvenience.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un panneau de verre constitué d'au moins deux vitres sensiblement centrées l'une sur l'autre et disposées parallèlement et à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre, l'espacement entre ces vitres étant délimité par un joint fermant hermétiquement le volume qu'elles définissent, l'une de ces vitres dite dorsale présentant selon au moins une direction perpendiculaire à deux de ses bords parallèles une dimension inférieure à celle de la vitre dite frontale opposée, ces vitres comprenant en outre deux faces en vis à vis dites faces internes, et deux faces opposées dites faces externes,

    • - d'autre part, son sommet qui est sensiblement situé dans le plan de la face externe de la vitre dorsale et qui présente au moins un moyen d'ancrage pour la bride placée en appui sur cette face externe.

To this end, the invention relates to a glass panel consisting of at least two panes substantially centered on one another and arranged parallel and at a certain distance from each other, the spacing between these panes being delimited by a seal hermetically closing the volume which they define, one of these so-called dorsal panes having, in at least one direction perpendicular to two of its parallel edges, a dimension smaller than that of the so-called opposite front pane, these panes further comprising two facing faces called internal faces, and two opposite faces called external faces,

    • on the one hand, its base which is at least indirectly in contact with the front window and which has an anchoring means to this window and,
    • - On the other hand, its top which is substantially located in the plane of the external face of the back glass and which has at least one anchoring means for the flange placed in abutment on this external face.
  • The invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description below given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the attached drawing which schematically represents:
    • FIG. 1: cross-sectional view in local section, an embodiment of the invention,
    • FIG. 2: a transverse view in local section, another embodiment of the invention,
    • Figure 3: seen from the front, a panel produced according to the invention.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit un panneau de verre 1 principalement composé de deux vitres 2, 3 disposées parallèlement et à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre.Referring to the drawing, we see a glass panel 1 mainly composed of two panes 2, 3 arranged parallel and at a certain distance from each other.

Classiquement, l'espacement entre les deux vitres 2, 3 est délimité par un joint 4 de dimensions inscrites dans celles de l'assemblage.Conventionally, the spacing between the two panes 2, 3 is delimited by a joint 4 of dimensions inscribed in those of the assembly.

Outre son rôle d'entretoise, le joint permet de fermer hermétiquement le volume 5 compris entre les deux vitres 2, 3.In addition to its role as a spacer, the seal makes it possible to hermetically close the volume 5 comprised between the two panes 2, 3.

Les vitres représentées sur le dessin sont de forme rectangulaire mais ceci n'est pas limitatif pour l'invention.The panes shown in the drawing are rectangular in shape, but this is not limiting for the invention.

Comme cela apparaît sur le dessin, l'une (2) des vitres 2, 3 présente selon au moins une direction perpendiculaire à deux de ses bords 6 parallèles, une dimension notablement inférieure à celle de la vitre 3 opposée.As can be seen in the drawing, one (2) of the panes 2, 3 has, in at least one direction perpendicular to two of its parallel edges 6, a dimension considerably smaller than that of the opposite pane 3.

Pour la suite de la description, sans pour autant que cela soit limitatif pour l'invention, la vitre 2 de moindres dimensions sera dénommée vitre dorsale 2, tandis que la vitre 3 de plus amples dimensions sera dénommée vitre frontale 3.For the remainder of the description, without this being limiting for the invention, the window 2 of smaller dimensions will be called the back window 2, while the window 3 of larger dimensions will be called the front window 3.

Sur la figure 3, les éléments vus par transparence à travers la vitre frontale sont représentés en traits fins.In Figure 3, the elements seen by transparency through the front window are shown in thin lines.

Sans aucun caractère limitatif, on notera que les deux vitres 2, 3 apparaissent comme étant sensiblement centrées l'une sur l'autre.Without any limiting nature, it will be noted that the two panes 2, 3 appear to be substantially centered on one another.

Les faces 7, 8 en vis à vis des vitres frontale 2 et dorsale 3 seront dénommés faces internes et les faces opposées 9, 10 de ces vitres seront dénommées faces externes.The faces 7, 8 opposite the front 2 and dorsal 3 panes will be called internal faces and the opposite faces 9, 10 of these panes will be called external faces.

On voit qu'au long de chacun des bords 6 de la vitre dorsale 2 qui sont en retrait par rapport à ceux 11 de la vitre frontale 3, se trouvent disposées, en combinaison:

  • - d'une part, au moins une bride 12 qui présente deux surfaces 13, 14 sensiblement parallèles, tournées vers les vitres, non contiguës et d'espacement D déterminé pour que chacune des dites surfaces 13, 14 réalise pour la bride 12 une zone d'appui l'une 13 sur la face externe 9 de la vitre dorsale 2, l'autre 14 sur la face interne 8 de la vitre frontale 3, et,
  • - d'autre part, au moins un élément mécanique 15 de liaison démontable entre la dite bride 12 et la vitre frontale 3.
It can be seen that along each of the edges 6 of the back window 2 which are set back relative to those 11 of the front window 3, there are arranged, in combination:
  • - On the one hand, at least one flange 12 which has two substantially parallel surfaces 13, 14, facing the panes, not contiguous and of spacing D determined so that each of said surfaces 13, 14 creates for the flange 12 a zone support one 13 on the external face 9 of the back window 2, the other 14 on the internal face 8 of the front window 3, and,
  • - on the other hand, at least one mechanical element 15 for removable connection between said flange 12 and the front window 3.

Tel que le prévoit l'invention, chaque élément mécanique de liaison 15 consiste en une chandelle 15 sensiblement cylindrique et dont le corps 16 a une hauteur H au moins sensiblement égale à l'espacement D entre les faces interne et externe respectivement des éléments frontale 3 et dorsale 2, cette chandelle ayant:

  • - d'une part, sa base 17 qui est au moins indirectement au contact de la vitre frontale 3 et qui présente un moyen d'ancrage 18 à cette vitre 3 et,
  • - d'autre part, son sommet 19 qui est sensiblement situé dans le plan de la face externe 9 de la vitre dorsale et qui présente au moins un moyen d'ancrage 20 pour la bride placée en appui sur cette face externe 9.
As provided by the invention, each mechanical connecting element 15 consists of a substantially cylindrical candle 15, the body 16 of which has a height H at least substantially equal to the spacing D between the internal and external faces of the front elements 3 respectively. and back 2, this candle having:
  • on the one hand, its base 17 which is at least indirectly in contact with the front window 3 and which has an anchoring means 18 to this window 3 and,
  • - on the other hand, its top 19 which is substantially situated in the plane of the external face 9 of the back glass and which has at least one anchoring means 20 for the flange placed in abutment on this external face 9.

De manière connue, la bride d'appui 12 consiste en un profilé 21 qui s'étend sensiblement sur toute la dimension longitudinale du bord 6 de la vitre dorsale 2 au droit duquel il se situe.In known manner, the support flange 12 consists of a profile 21 which extends substantially over the entire longitudinal dimension of the edge 6 of the back glass 2 to the right of which it is located.

L'assemblage de ces profilés 21 entre eux au niveau de chaque angle de la vitre dorsale est réalisé de manière classique et, de préférence, au moyen d'équerres d'angle (non représentées).The assembly of these sections 21 together at each corner of the back glass is carried out in a conventional manner and, preferably, by means of angle brackets (not shown).

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, au moins l'un des profilés 21 qui équipe un panneau de verre réalisé selon l'invention comprend des moyens (non représentés) en vue de permettre l'articulation du dit panneau sur un bâti (non représenté).In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one of the sections 21 which equips a glass panel produced according to the invention comprises means (not shown) in order to allow the articulation of said panel on a frame (not shown).

Outre ces moyens d'articulation, le profilé peut avantageusement comporter des moyens (non représentés) de fixation au bâti mais aussi des moyens (non représentés) en vue de réaliser l'étanchéité entre bâti et panneaux de verre.In addition to these articulation means, the profile can advantageously include means (not shown) for fixing to the frame but also means (not shown) in order to achieve the seal between frame and glass panels.

Suivant l'invention, pour constituer le moyen d'ancrage 18 à la vitre frontale 3, d'une part, au voisinage de sa base 17, la chandelle 15 traverse la vitre frontale 3 par un perçage 22 sensiblement ajusté à cette base et, d'autre part, cette chandelle présente solidaire de sa base 17 un pied d'appui 23 permettant le contact avec la face externe 10 de la vitre frontale 3.According to the invention, to constitute the anchoring means 18 to the front window 3, on the one hand, in the vicinity of its base 17, the jack 15 passes through the front window 3 by a hole 22 substantially adjusted to this base and, on the other hand, this candle has integral with its base 17 a support foot 23 allowing contact with the external face 10 of the front window 3.

Conformément à l'invention, selon une variante de réalisation, le moyen d'ancrage 18 de la base de la chandelle 15 5à à la vitre frontale 3 consiste en une vis 24, dont, d'une part, la face antérieure 25 de la tête 26 s'appuie sur la face externe 10 de la dite vitre frontale 3 et, dont, d'autre part, la tige filetée 27 traverse cette même vitre par un perçage 22 pour venir coopérer avec un taraudage 29 de la base 17 de la dite chandelle 15.According to the invention, according to an alternative embodiment, the anchoring means 18 of the base of the candle 15 5 to the front window 3 consists of a screw 24, of which, on the one hand, the front face 25 of the head 26 rests on the external face 10 of said front window 3 and, of which, on the other hand, the threaded rod 27 passes through this same window by a hole 22 to come to cooperate with a tapping 29 of the base 17 of the so-called candle 15.

Comme cela apparaît sur le dessin, la chandelle 15 comprend à sa base 17 une face 17a d'appui sur la face interne 8 de la vitre frontale 3.As shown in the drawing, the candle 15 comprises at its base 17 a face 17a for bearing on the internal face 8 of the front window 3.

Comme l'invention le prévoit, le moyen d'ancrage 20 de la bride 12 au sommet 19 de la chandelle 1 5 consiste en une vis 30, dont, d'une part, la tête 31 se trouve par sa face antérieure 32 au moins indirectement en appui sur la bride 12 et, dont, d'autre part, la tige filetée 33 traverse la dite bride par un perçage 34 pour venir s'ancrer dans un taraudage réalisé dans le sommet de la chandelle.As the invention provides, the anchoring means 20 of the flange 12 at the top 19 of the candle 1 5 consists of a screw 30, of which, on the one hand, the head 31 is located by its front face 32 at least indirectly bearing on the flange 12 and, of which, on the other hand, the threaded rod 33 passes through said flange by a bore 34 to come to anchor in a thread made in the top of the candle.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, c'est cette même vis 30 qui permet la fixation du panneau de verre 1 sur une structure 35.In a preferred embodiment, it is this same screw 30 which allows the glass panel 1 to be fixed to a structure 35.

Avantageusement, la tête de la vis 30 peut présenter toute forme appropriée en vue de constituer un élément d'ancrage pour un cadre (non représenté) rapporté contre la vitre frontale et destiné à masquer extérieurement le joint 4 entre les vitres 2, 3.Advantageously, the head of the screw 30 can have any suitable shape with a view to constituting an anchoring element for a frame (not shown) attached against the front window and intended to mask the seal 4 between the windows 2, 3 externally.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit que sans moyen de liaison supplémentaire c'est la vis 30 qui permet la liaison à une structure 35 dont une aile 36 est interposée entre la face antérieure 32 de la dite vis et la bride 12.Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that without additional connection means it is the screw 30 which allows the connection to a structure 35 of which a wing 36 is interposed between the front face 32 of said screw and the flange 12.

Bien entendu, on utilise plusieurs vis 30 pour l'assemblage du panneau de verre 1 à une structure.Of course, several screws 30 are used for assembling the glass panel 1 to a structure.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, la chandelle 15 comprend à sa base 17 un moyen de positionnement 37 qui coopère avec le perçage 22 réalisé dans la vitre frontale 3 pour permettre le passage du moyen d'ancrage 18 depuis la face externe de la vitre frontale.In a preferred embodiment, the candle 15 comprises at its base 17 a positioning means 37 which cooperates with the bore 22 made in the front window 3 to allow the passage of the anchoring means 18 from the external face of the front window .

Selon une forme de réalisation, le moyen de positionnement 37 consiste en un court doigt 38 sensiblement ajusté au diamètre du perçage 22 avec lequel il coopère.According to one embodiment, the positioning means 37 consists of a short finger 38 substantially adjusted to the diameter of the bore 22 with which it cooperates.

De préférence, le sommet 19 de la chandelle 15 comprend également un court doigt de centrage 39 qui coopère avec un perçage 34 réservé dans la bride 12 pour permettre le passage du moyen d'ancrage 20 de la bride 12 jusqu'à la dite chandelle 15.Preferably, the top 19 of the candle 15 also includes a short centering finger 39 which cooperates with a hole 34 reserved in the flange 12 to allow the passage of the anchoring means 20 of the flange 12 to the said candle 15 .

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, par bord de vitre dorsale 2 équipé d'une bride 12, on utilise au moins deux chandelles 15.In a preferred embodiment, at least two candles 15 are used by edge of back panel 2 fitted with a flange 12.

Bien que cela n'apparaisse pas sur le dessin, on comprend qu'en cas de rupture de la vitre frontale 3, des morceaux de verre (non représentés) restent pincés entre la tête du moyen d'ancrage 18 et la bride 12 et permettent donc le maintien en position de la vitre dorsale dans la mesure, bien entendu, où celle-ci est intacte.Although this does not appear in the drawing, it is understood that in the event of the front window 3 breaking, pieces of glass (not shown) remain pinched between the head of the anchoring means 18 and the flange 12 and allow therefore keeping the back glass in position insofar as, of course, it is intact.

A cet effet, les chandelles 15 sont, avantageusement, positionnées de manière à ce que la face latérale de leur corps 16 vient localement au moins indirectement au contact du bord 6 de la vitre dorsale.To this end, the candles 15 are advantageously positioned so that the lateral face of their body 16 comes locally at least indirectly into contact with the edge 6 of the back glass.

Pour la fabrication des panneaux de verre 1, il suffit:

  • - d'équiper de chandelles 15 la plus grande des vitres à assembler, notamment la vitre frontale 3 puis,
  • - de disposer sur la face interne de cette vitre équipée de chandelles 15, un joint 4 de liaison entre vitres qui est de dimensions s'inscrivant dans la zone 40 délimitée par les chandelles,
  • - de placer en appui sur le joint 4 une vitre dorsale de dimensions s'inscrivant dans la dite zone 40 délimitée par les chandelles 15,
  • - de monter autant de brides 12 que nécessaire sur la vitre dorsale 2 à l'aide des moyens d'ancrage 20 à cet effet.
For the production of glass panels 1, it suffices:
  • to equip with candles 15 the largest of the panes to be assembled, in particular the front pane 3 then,
  • to have on the internal face of this window fitted with candles 15, a joint 4 connecting between panes which is of dimensions falling within the zone 40 delimited by the candles,
  • placing a back glass of dimensions bearing on the joint 4 which fits into said zone 40 delimited by the candles 15,
  • - Mount as many flanges 12 as necessary on the back glass 2 using the anchoring means 20 for this purpose.
