Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a section adapted to form a support element for plates of various kind, such slabs of different materials and particularly glass slabs or glass-chambers, such support element being constituted by a frame obtained by said section, which permits to fix mechanically by a scarf-joint therein, without any use of mastics or the like, an associated plate as well as to fix removably the so obtained panel to a suitable fitting structure of the building to form a relevant continuous facade.
  • the panelings made of glass slabs are fitted by connecting them to the corresponding support frameworks by means of sizing with particular silicone mastics.
  • connection effected by a simple sizing is not much reliable and also may constitute a real serious danger.
  • the glass slab or the glass-chamber or anyway the so connected panel may break off from the associated framework to which it is fitted and fall on the ground, thus giving rise to the well comprehensible results.
  • connection permits to made facades in which the covering panelings are irremovable, which fact prevents the openable parts (windows) from being obtained and replaced in a simple and quick manner.
  • the German Utility Model n. 8803328 relates to a system for fixing a double-glass sheet panel to its supporting frame by means of a peripheral bonding of the inner glass sheet only.
  • the outer edge of the supporting frame retains the outer glass sheet in a safety position and a protruding part of the supporting frame engage the recess formed between the two glass sheets.
  • Said fixing system does not obviate the above mentioned drawbacks coming from the bonding of the panels and it requires a frame so jagged as to need the use of silicone sealing compunds.
  • the present invention has the purpose to obviate the above mentioned restrictions and drawbacks and this is obtained by a particular section able to form a peripheral frame for supporting glass sheets and/or plates of various kind particularly usable for making continuous facades and the like comprising a first portion able to form the frame for fitting a plate made of suitable material and particularly a glass sheet or a glass-chamber thus forming a panel and a second portion able to form a frame to removably fix said panel to a corresponding applicative structure of a building to form an associated "continuous facade", characterized in that said first portion, substantially constituted by a flat longitudinal band from the side edges of which a short inclined front flange and a second orthogonal rear flange extend respectively, forms a slot adapted to fix therein the peripheral edge of said plate solely by a mechanical scarf joint and by previous interposition of gaskets made of suitable resilient material, and that said second portion extends from the side edge of the flat longitudinal band opposite to the side edge from which said inclined flange of
  • said first portion and said second portion of said section may be formed preferably by two distinct sections, reciprocally interconned by a suitable connecting element formed by an adequate rigid material having a high thermal resistivity, so as to avoid thermal bridges between the separated ambients of said panel.
  • cross section shown in such drawing may indifferently be referred to a transverse cross section taken along either a horizontal plane or a vertical plane with respect to the panel, or, more completely, with respect to the "continuous facade".
  • section 2 providing the frame C of said panel P is illustrated in an embodiment in which it is divided in two parts 21-22, interconnected each other by a rigid connecting element 5 made however of an adequate material with high thermal resistivity in order to avoid, as it is known, the thermal bridge between the separate ambients of the structure of the panel itself.
  • the above plate L may be constituted by a simple slab made of glass or of other suitable materials such slabs made of plastic material, metallic materials, compound materials etc.
  • Such panel P is formed by a plate L constituted by a "glass-chamber" element 1, which is fitted to a peripheral frame C as hereinafter described.
  • Said "glass-chamber" element 1 is formed in a per se known manner by two glass slabs, namely an outer 11 and an inner slab 12, which are reciprocally spaced and sealingly fitted together by a proper peripheral element 13.
  • the peripheral frame C is formed by parts of a section 2 providing a first portion 21 adapted to fix with a scarf-joint said glass-chamber element 1 and a second portion 22 adapted to form an extended part 221 insertable into the hole whose outline is defined by a frame formed by the part 31 of the section 3 providing the applicative structure, which in turn is adequately fitted, in a per se known way and with per se known means (not shown) to the building structure of the edifice facade.
  • said first portion 21 is constituted by a first section 210 formed by a flat longitudinal band 211, from the side edge of which that is situated on the side providing the outer face of the panel P when the frame is assembled, a short inclined flange 212 extends, while a second flange 213 extends from the other side edge thereof, orthogonally to and at the same side of said short inclined flange 212 as well as adequately spaced therefrom.
  • a further flange 214 extends from the second flange 213 parallely to said flat longitudinal band 211, which further flange 214 is so shaped as to provide an adequately shaped slot 216 at the inside part of the panel 1, that is at the same part toward which said short inclined flange 212 and said second flange 213 extend, wherein the slot 216 engages a side end of a rigid connecting element 5 made of a suitable insulating material, the other side end of which engages a corresponding slot 222 provided on the section 220 constituting said second portion 22 of said section 2.
  • Said section 220 is constituted by a flat longitudinal band, at one side thereof are provided said slot 222 and a second slot 223 engaging elements 41 sliding therein, which elements engage with their cylindrical extended part 411 the inclined surfaces of the projected parts 422 of corresponding elements 42 fitted to the slot 311 of the extended part 31 of the section 3, thus causing the removable connection of the panel P to the applicative structure formed by said sections 3.
  • Such sections 3 may constitute the side stanchions or the transversal stanchions (upper and lower) which define the hole on which said panel P is fitted.
  • the translation drive of said elements 41 will be obtained by a cable 6, which in turn will be operated in a per se known manner and with per se known means.
  • the removable connecting device constituted by said elements 41 and 42 clearly, is of per se known kind.
  • said section 2 could be made also in a single piece, wherein said first portion 21 and second portion 22 form a sole element.
  • the sections 2 or the sections 210 and 220 forming such section 2 in the embodiment referred to and the section 3 are obtained by extrusion of adequate metal such preferably the aluminium.
  • An appropriate front gasket 71 made of suitable elastomer is interposed between said inclined bevel 111 and the associated inner surface of the corresponding short inclined flange 212.
  • a second peripheral gasket 72 is arranged along the perimeter of said glass-chamber element 1 and is inserted into said slot 216 and finally a third back gasket 73, made of adequate elastomer material as the second gasket, is arranged on the back side of this element 1, between its back surface and the opposite surface defined by said second flange 213.
  • gaskets 71,72,73 are that to permit the glass-chamber element 1 to be locked with a scarf joint to the associated frame formed by said first portion 21 of the section 2 as well as to ensure a seal therebetween.
  • the assembling of the panels P may be easily made in an assembly shop independent from the place were they will be installed.
  • section 2 is prepared by cutting them in a conventional manner and with commonly utilized machines and such parts are obtained, obviously, with adequate lenghts adapted to form the frame of the same panels P.
  • the assembly may be completed by applying the above mentioned further gaskets 81-82 on the associated seats.
  • the "continuous facade" may be completed by inserting correspondent panels P in the above holes of the applicative structure, which panels will be connected thereto by means of adequate connecting means constituted by devices (41-42) permitting their removable fixing or by devices permitting besides a removable fixing also guided shiftings outwards thereof, such devices being all of per se known kind and normally found in commerce, so that there aren't described.
  • the plates which, as stated, may be constituted by simple glass slabs, by glass-chambers or by other suitable materials, are certainly fixed to the associated frame by a mechanical scarf-joint connection obtained through the tooth formed by said short inclined flange 212, ensuring an absolutely reliable connection thereof so avoiding the very serious inconvenience of possible breakaways thereof.
  • the panel P may be of modular construction and their shape together with their removable fitting system permits to effect always and anyway their replacement in a very simple, rapid and cheap manner, which replacement may result from the need to replace panels which for various reasons undergo breakings or deteriorations or also for the opportuneness to change the kind and/or colour of the panelings.
  • edge formed by said short inclined flange 212 is too limited and may be also, when adequately shaped, very thin and practically almost not noticeable with respect to the entire facade structure.
  • such edge may be adequately coloured to make it practically with the same colour of the curtain wall plates and to obtain special aesthetic effects.
