Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a covering or window panel intended to form a prefabricated element of the exterior surface of a facade of a building and comprising at least one rectangular exterior plate, in particular of glass, stone, fiber cement, material synthetic or similar, and a metal frame carrying said outer plate and provided with means for fixing it to a facade structure or to a window, this frame having metal edges hooked to at least two opposite edges of the outer plate.
  • the invention also relates to a building facade coated with such panels.
  • glass plates or thin plates of stone or other similar materials such as fiber cement are increasingly used, in order to take advantage of the aesthetic and technical properties of these materials, in particular their thermal and phonic properties, their durability and their ease of cleaning.
  • the intervals between the plates be as short as possible.
  • a known solution consists in fixing, on a structure of the facade, prefabricated panels having a metal frame on which the exterior plate is stuck.
  • These panels with bonded plates have various drawbacks due to the brittleness of the edges of the plates, the uncertainty of the long-term resistance of the bonding, as well as the difficulty of replacing a plate after possible deterioration. This is why there is a tendency to abandon such a solution in favor of panels having a frame provided with flanges which hang securely. at the edges of the plate.
  • patent application GB-A-2 155 981 describes prefabricated glass panels, provided with a metal frame surrounding the outer plate and having a right-angled flange which extends in front of the outer surface of the panes. This edge is visible, it breaks the appearance unit of the facade and it can have an annoying reflection. In addition, it hinders the cleaning of the external surface of the plates.
  • patent application FR-A-2 619 587 proposes a type of panel in which the edges of the outer plate have a bevel on the side of the exterior of the building.
  • the metal frame comprises at least one pair of support elements, provided with flanges and arranged on two opposite edges of the outer plate.
  • the metal rim of the chassis covers the plate only in front of this bevel, so that it does not form any projection relative to the flat outer surface of this plate.
  • this metal rim the size of which cannot be reduced excessively since it is he who holds the plate, remains visible from the outside.
  • the chassis is generally made of light metal, it undergoes thermal expansions whose amplitude is a multiple of that of the expansions of the plate. This is why it is necessary to interpose, between each flange and the plate, an elastomer profile which makes it possible to absorb the differences in expansion but which increases the thickness of the visible part of the chassis.
  • Austrian patent AT-B-379,186 describes a facade covering formed from glass plates which may have two free vertical edges, but they are not prefabricated panels having their own chassis.
  • the plates are supported by horizontal profiles which are fixed beforehand to the facade and which have opposite oblique edges, so that each plate can be inserted by horizontal sliding between two opposite profiles, then sealed on them by means of an elastic mass .
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the drawbacks of the prior art by perfecting a panel of the type indicated in the preamble, in order to reduce as much as possible the visible parts of the frame, so as to allow a facade to be easily produced on which practically sees that the outer plates of the panels.
  • a goal secondary is to arrange the chassis so as to reduce the differential expansions between it and the plate.
  • the panel according to the invention is characterized in that the metal frame comprises traction elements connecting the two support elements of each pair of support elements so as to pull them towards each other and clamping the outer plate between said flanges.
  • each of the traction elements may comprise a steel rod which may have threaded ends disposed through transverse holes in said support elements and provided with tightening nuts.
  • said traction elements may comprise at least one steel cable.
  • the support elements of a panel include two metal profiles, arranged along two first opposite edges of the outer plate, and at least two traction elements arranged parallel to the other two edges of the plate exterior, these two other edges being free of any frame element outside the zone of the angles of the plate.

  • the support elements of a panel comprise, four corner pieces connected in pairs by the traction elements and each having two of said flanges, perpendicular to each other, for s' hang at an angle from the outer plate, and the four edges of said plate are free of any frame element between the corner pieces.
  • Said outer plate can be the outer pane of insulating double glazing, such as that of a window.
  • Said outer plate can be made of laminated glass.
  • one of the elements of said pair of support elements is provided with hinges arranged to support the panel and allow it to pivot, the other element of the pair being provided with locking means for locking selectively pivot the panel.
  • the invention relates to a building facade comprising a facade structure and an external covering comprising panels as defined above, which are mounted on this structure.
  • said support elements of the metal frame of a panel are hooked by their edges at least to the two opposite vertical edges of the outer plate of the panel and are connected by traction elements arranged horizontally, the horizontal edges of said plate being free of any frame element outside the plate corner area.
  • said means for fixing a panel comprise supports fixed to said structure and provided with hooks directed upwards, in which the traction elements of the chassis of the panel are engaged.
  • said structure comprises a wall provided with at least one window
  • said external covering is composed of panels with glass plates, and these plates form a vertical screen extending in front of said wall and the window, distance from them, so as to provide a ventilation interval between them and the screen.
  • said window comprises a dormant frame and an opening frame with a vertical pivot axis
  • one of the panels of the external covering, located in front of the window is supported by the opening frame of the window of so that you can pivot with it towards the interior of the building
  • one of said support elements for the chassis of said panel is provided with hinges with a vertical axis
  • the means for fixing the panel include metal tabs supporting said hinges and fixed to the opening frame of the window and in the area of said hinges.
  • the panel extends in front of the window frame so as to hide it. Said metal tabs can be bent so as to provide, between the window and the panel, a gap forming a housing for a blind.
  • one of the panels of the external covering, situated in front of the window is mounted on said structure in a movable manner with respect to adjacent panels situated below and above it, this panel being movable between a first position where its glass plate is in the same vertical plane as that of the adjacent panels, and at least a second position where at least the lower edge of said plate is distant from said vertical plane and leaves a passage for the air between the ventilation interval and the outside air, said panel being coupled to a manual or motorized control means.
  • the movable panel can be movable in the horizontal direction, perpendicular to the facade, remaining parallel to itself.
  • Said movable panel can be coupled to a movable member of a deflector disposed along a lower edge of the window, so that, in said second position of the movable panel, the deflector extends above the gap ventilation so as to deflect outward an air flow rising in said interval.
  • Fig. 1 shows the external appearance of a facade coated with opaque plates, preferably of colored fiber cement, by means of prefabricated panels 1 which are mounted in front of opaque parts of the facade, the facade being ventilated behind these panels.
  • the panels 1 are separated by horizontal 4 and vertical 5 intervals forming hollow joints which can only be seen in the form of thin dark lines as soon as one moves away from a few meters from the facade.
  • the exterior surface of each panel is in the same plane as that of the adjacent panels.
  • the dimensions of the panels are not critical in the present invention.
  • the height of the panels can correspond, as the case may be, to the height of a window, to that of a reluctant or to that of an entire floor.
  • Fig. 2 shows the basic construction of a panel 1, comprising a flat outer plate 10 made of fiber cement and a metal frame 11 applied against the back of the plate 10.
  • the frame 11 consists of two parallel support elements 12, constituted by light metal profiles arranged along the two vertical edges of the plate 10 and provided with flanges hooked to these edges, and two horizontal rods 13 made of steel, forming traction elements which pull the elements towards each other support 12 so as to clamp the plate 10. In this way, the frame 11 leaves free the horizontal edges 14 and 15 of the plate 10.
  • each panel 1 an elastomer strip 21 is interposed between the plate 10 and each profile 12.
  • This profile is provided with an oblique flange 22 s '' pressing, via the strip 21, against the corresponding vertical edge 23 of the plate 10, which is cut in a bevel so that the plate cannot escape forward, while allowing the flange 22 does not exceed the plane of the outer surface 24 of the plate 10.
  • the profile 12 has two parallel wings 25 and 26 on the side of the facade structure.
  • each support section 12 is equipped with a square stop 30 having a horizontal wing engaged under the lower edge 14 of the plate 10 and a vertical wing housed between the section 12 and the plate 10 and provided with a horizontal pin 32 engaged in a hole in the profile 12.
  • This simple construction of the metal frame 11 makes it possible to dispense with the usual profile elements covering the horizontal edges 1a and 15 of the outer plates 10. These two edges do not do not need to be beveled and they can be devoid of any apparent element of metal, synthetic or other material, along the horizontal intervals 4. Along the vertical intervals 5, only the small oblique edges 22 of the frame are apparent.
  • metal supports 33 are fixed in a known manner, in adjustable positions along the vertical profiles 18.
  • Each support 33 has, depending on its position in the facade, one or two hooks 34 directed upwards .
  • Each horizontal rod 13 of the panels 1 is simply engaged from top to bottom in two hooks 34, each of which is inserted between the wings 25 and 26 of the corresponding section 12.
  • this construction of the metal frame 11 allows the plate 10 to be tightened elastically in the frame thanks to the elasticity of the elastomer profile 21 and the washers 29, which avoids any play between the chassis and the plate, as well as any problem of differential thermal expansion between the chassis and the plate.
  • the assembly method described is extremely simple and also allows easy replacement of a damaged plate, since it suffices to unhook the corresponding panel and loosen the nuts 28 to remove the plate 10 from the chassis and replace it with a news.
  • a covering or screen of glass plates is formed on a building facade by covering panels 61 and 62.
  • each of the panels 62 is mounted in front of a window 63 shown in broken lines in FIG. 5, while the panels 61 are mounted in front of opaque parts 64 of the facade.
  • the panels 61 and 62 are separated by horizontal intervals 65 and vertical 66 comparable to the intervals 4 and 5 described above.
  • the horizontal intervals 65 are delimited only by the glass plates, and not by edges of the frame of the panels.

  • the rods 76 are made of stainless steel and have threaded ends 77 which pass through the transverse holes of the uprights 72 and on which nuts 78 are screwed making it possible to create, in the rods 76, a permanent traction which ensures a tightening of the plate 70 between the edges 74 of the two opposite uprights 72 and 73.
  • each upright 72, 73 has a flat face 79 pressing against the back of the plate 70.

  • the panels 61 can have metal frames designed in the same way, so that the horizontal gap 65 separating the glass plates from two superimposed panels 61, 62 is free from any fixing member and can be both very narrow and hardly visible.
  • the simple construction of the metal frame 71 also solves all the problems of expansion and tolerances in the manufacture of the panels, which in particular allows the safe use of beveled glasses. It will be noted that with a similar metal chassis system, the covering plates could be fixed by clamping between flanges along their horizontal edges, and their vertical edges would then be devoid of fixing members and of any metallic element.
  • each covering panel 62 is mounted on an opening frame 82 of the window 63, and not on the sleeping frame 83 supporting the frame 82 by means of hinges 84 which are vertical in the present case.
  • the upright 72 of the panel 62 is hingedly mounted, by hinges 85, on at least two metal legs 86 fixed to the window frame 82, while the upright 73 is supported by two other metal legs 87 fixed to the opposite upright of the frame 82.
  • the upright 73 is locked on the legs 87 by means of sliding pins 88, which can be moved by pushing a return spring (not shown) to unhook the panel 62 and allow it pivot on the hinges 85 when it must be moved away from the window 63 for maintenance operations.
  • this in particular allows maintenance personnel to access the panel 62 from the interior of the building, by opening the window 63 by means of a handle 89, then by pivoting the panel 62 relative to the window. while he's inside. It is thus possible to clean all the glazed surfaces from the interior of the building, including the two faces of the exterior glass plate 70.
  • the legs 86 are long enough for the upright 72 of the frame of the panel 62 covering the right window to be in front of the sleeping frame 83 of the left window, so that the vertical gap 66 is practically in face of the vertical joint between the sash and the frame of the left window. This effectively masks the opaque portions 82 and 83 behind the panels 62, while allowing the right upright 73 of each panel to enter the building when the window is opened.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 show that the legs 86 and 87 are long enough, in the direction perpendicular to the facade, to provide between each panel 62 and the corresponding window 63 an interval 90 wide enough to accommodate a blind 91, including its side rails guide 92 and its winding box 93.

  • the core 165 is crossed by the horizontal rod 153, the nut 155 of which is pressed against the core, while the tubular part 166 receives the vertical rod 154 and also serves as a support for its nut.
  • the horizontal and vertical edges of the plate 150 can be entirely free of any structural element, outside the corners of the panel. They can be placed very close to the free edges of adjacent panels, to form a continuous-looking facade cladding. In addition, it is easy to close the small gap between two panels with a prefabricated compressible joint.
  • Another advantage of the chassis 151 is that it is possible to forgo cutting the edges of the plate 150 at a bevel, since the chassis only appears externally through the flanges 161, 162 in the corners of the panel. If necessary, oblique edges can be provided and the edges of the plate can be bevelled only in the corner area.
  • the outer plate 150 can be of any kind, provided that it is rigid. In this example, it is an insulating double glazing such as that used for windows, composed of two glass plates 167 and 168 spaced from one another and linked on their periphery by a seal 169 made of synthetic material. This type of plate can also be used with the chassis 11, 71, 121 described above.
  • Fig. 19 shows an advantageous method of fixing the panel 149 to vertical profiles 170 of a facade structure, by means of supports 172 engaged on vertical rods 154.
  • Each support 172 is a profiled piece of light metal or steel, having a tubular part 173 engaged on the rod 154 and a wing 174, flat or profiled, fixed to the upright 170 by means of bolts 175.
  • Four supports 172 are sufficient to rigidly fix the panel 149 to the structure, its weight being supported by support of the two upper corner pieces on the upper supports 172.
  • the panel can also be pivotally mounted around one of the vertical rods 154, thus forming a hinge axis, if suitable supports are provided for the other end of the panel. Many other types of attachment of such a panel can be envisaged, in particular using protruding elements on the back of each corner piece 152.
  • Figs. 20 and 21 show different variants of panels similar to panel 149, but whose chassis have differently designed traction elements.
  • the plate 150 is carried by four corner pieces 172 which are pulled towards each other by means of one or more steel cables 173 passing over rounded protrusions 174 on the back of each corner piece. In this way, the metal frame is almost invisible along the edges of the plate 150.
  • the panel fasteners can be provided on the protrusions 174 or next to them.
  • a facade constructed in this way is that the panels forming the exterior surface of the facade are not separated by any constructive element projecting or simply visible from the outside. Indeed, these panels are separated only by hollow joints 4, 5, 65, 66, that is to say empty intervals which are narrow enough to be poorly lit from the outside and therefore to appear as thin areas and dark whose bottom you can't see.
  • the oblique edges of the metal frames can be colored like the plates they support, or be hidden by plastic profiles which can have, for example, a dark color, so that from the outside of the facade you can practically see only the outer plates and dark lines formed by hollow joints.
  • a facade coated with such panels is also advantageous from the point of view of maintenance and weather resistance, the structure being entirely covered by the outer plates of the panels. In addition, these plates form an almost continuous skin which also allows ventilation of the facade behind this skin.
