Definitions

  • the invention relates to a facade element made of insulating glass with a frame, which has at least one inner and one outer pane, the panes being kept parallel and at a distance from one another; the outer disc has a bevel on the outer edge; the pane attachment in the outer edge region has a projection which surrounds the outer pane and which receives a bevelled outer edge of the outer pane.
  • Such facade elements have recently become increasingly popular. Especially for larger buildings, e.g. for high-rise buildings that are important for urban planning, they are used systematically by the architects. The reason is not only that with today's skeleton construction the facade as such is no longer a supporting element; Glass facades are often used to emphasize the modernism of new, large buildings. Furthermore, glass facades are often used for aesthetic reasons, because the accessible, almost flat facade surfaces e.g. can be designed with any curvature. The use of various glass colors or internal mirroring with metal vapors creates an extremely interesting and appealing effect for the viewer of such a glass facade.
  • a glass element that is to be used as a facade element must meet the following requirements: There must always be stricter regulations regarding thermal insulation. This means that the facade element consists of at least two parallel panes, so that a vacuum can be maintained in the resulting space or an inert gas filling can be enclosed. This presupposes that such a facade element is absolutely tight. No developer will take the risk of having to replace an entire glass facade due to insufficient thermal insulation. The latest technologies should also be considered, such as foils to be stretched between the panes.
  • a facade element made of glass must guarantee the architect the greatest possible freedom of design. This is especially the case when, contrary to conventional glass facade element constructions, a frame is no longer required which protrudes beyond the level of the outer glass pane and thus covers the smooth glass facade with a clearly visible frame network. Especially through such a framework network will be interesting and appealing reflection effects of an entire glass facade disturbed. Although it cannot be avoided that a shadow groove remains between the elements even when two adjacent, frameless glass elements are moved close together, the elimination of the frame network in a glass facade means great progress. For the interior of the building, too, a delicate frame structure, which allows the individual facade elements to move closer together, means progress. In addition to the aesthetic needs, design considerations must also be taken into account.
  • the facade element must have a certain strength, since it is exposed to various stresses. In addition to its own weight, wind forces in particular attack the facade. Of course, it is not only the direct attack of the wind on the facade that is important. After the monotony of the skyscraper, which is rectangular in plan, the call for an unmistakable, urban-accentuated large building is becoming ever stronger. In strong winds, this often creates complicated wind currents; It is not uncommon for a facade element to be under pressure rather than pressure. Especially in the area of curvatures or constrictions with the Venturi effect, this suction can take on considerable values. Accordingly, the security aspect has been increasingly checked in recent times in the building permit procedure; the building authorities no longer allow all facade elements made of glass.
  • FR-PS 2 573 797 discloses a frameless facade element made of glass. It consists of two disks, which are held parallel to each other by a spacer. The inner disc is smaller than the outer one; A step-like frame allows both the inner and the outer pane to be glued directly to the frame. However, since both gluing points require a certain width, a fairly wide mounting surface is created, which suggests a fairly large frame width, especially from the inside.
  • This frameless facade element allows aesthetically satisfactory glass facades, but the outer pane, which is held in place by gluing, appears potentially dangerous; many building authorities doubt the long-term durability of the bond.
  • panes have existed for a long time, the panes of which are made using an adhesive be held together.
  • the panes are copper-plated or galvanized at the edge areas facing each other.
  • a lead bar serving as a spacer element can then be soldered between the panes.
  • the copper-plated or galvanized edge area serving as an adhesion promoter adheres extremely well to the pane.
  • the outer pane is provided with grooves along its narrow sides. Elevations of an element frame engage in these grooves. If the adhesive of the outer pane should come loose, all forces on the pane holder in the grooves apply. As a result, the Disk breaks.
  • the types of glass used for glass facades guarantee that relatively small fragments are created.
  • a facade element has become known from German utility model 85 08 113, in which the frame or the profile have a projection which engages flush with the outer pane.
  • These facade elements according to the prior art have no shadow grooves for camouflaging the frame area.
  • a facade with such elements will therefore always have visible frame or profile parts.
  • a detachable connection of the frame with a profile of the building construction, for example as a window frame, and an arrangement of seals in the shadow groove are not provided.
  • EP-A-130 438 describes facade elements in which the outer panes are attached to the inside by gluing or soldering.
  • the outer disks are not held in grooves along their narrow side, a similar system has become known from GB-A 2 179 391.
  • the glass panes are located in holding grooves, but the pane holder taught there is not suitable for windows that can be opened.
  • the facade element made of glass according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 1. Since the outermost edge area of the frame, which is angled, does not have the area of the shadow groove protrudes, it is not noticed by the viewer of the glass facade. Furthermore, it is possible that the relevant frame areas are colored dark, for example anodized; they then disappear in the darkness in the shadow groove. If the outer pane is now detached, it is reliably held mechanically by the angled frame area. Since no local forces attack, there is no fear of the window being destroyed. Preferred exemplary embodiments are designed according to the features of the dependent claims.
  • FIG 1 shows two adjacent facade elements 1 and 1 '.
  • Each facade element is connected along its edge area by means of an adhesive or seal 2.2 'to its 3.3'.
  • the frame is detachable with connected to a profile 4 of the building construction; thus the facade elements shown here 1.1 'serve as windows that can be opened.
  • seals are 5.5 '; 6.6 ′; 7.7 'provided.
  • a lead bar 10, 10 ' serves as a spacer and holder for the outer disk 11,11'.
  • a tin or copper layer 12, 12 ' is applied, which serves as an adhesion promoter and allows the edge areas of the disks to be soldered to the lead web in areas 13, 13'.
  • the outer pane 11, 11 ' is held via lead web and spacer 10, 10' and pane 9 with adhesive 2 on the frame 3.3 '.
  • the connection between the two panes by means of a bonding agent is extremely firm.
  • This fuse consists of the angled outermost edge areas 14,14 'of the frame 3,3'.
  • the angled areas 14, 14 ' lie closely against a holding area 15, 15' of the disk 11, 11 '.
  • the areas 14, 14 'of the frame laterally limit the Shadow groove 8. They can therefore not be seen by a viewer of the glass facade or at most only perceptible. Should the connection of the disks 11, 11 'loosen to the frame, both disks remain mechanically securely held. in that the angled areas of the frame encompass the outer pane all around when the facade element is open or closed.
  • the holding area 15 shown is kept small in the figure; this enables the shadow groove itself to remain inconspicuous.
  • Figure 2 shows an arrangement which easily withstands the highest known stresses on facade elements.
  • the inner disk 9 is made somewhat smaller than the outer disk 11; a larger room 17 is thus available for reliable sealing of the facade element against the building.
  • the frame 3 completely encompasses the edge region of the pane 9, and the holding region 15 of the outer pane 11 also runs over its entire narrow side.
  • the edge region 14 of the frame 3 can thus be designed with a large area. If there is strong suction or pressure on the pane 11, or alternating loads on the pane 11 due to, for example, wind influences, they distribute the holding forces of the frame area 14 over a larger holding area 15, which further reduces the risk of the pane being destroyed.
  • an adhesive 18 can be provided, which includes both panes.
  • a sealant for example based on silicone.
  • the fact that the web 10 spacing or connecting the disks 9, 11 is arranged offset inwards is used for additional mechanical security, in that a frame part 19 engages in the lateral recess thus created between the disks. This can also be gained space for the seal 7,7 'without widening the shadow groove 8.
  • the described bends on the frame or bevels on the outer pane form an angle of about 45 ° with the disc plane.
  • the angled edge region 14 advantageously does not protrude beyond the outer surface of the outer pane 11, but rather runs approximately flush with it.
  • the bevels on the outer side 11 are made by grinding with a diamond grinding tool. Then the frame, which consists of extruded aluminum profiles, is arranged on the panes and connected to them by means of sealing means or by means of adhesive.
