Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system of elements for securing wall tiles to the ventilated frontage of a building.
  • a ventilated frontage may be understood as describing an elevation of a building clad with ceramic tiles or other infill panels that are distanced from the masonry by means of a metal framework in a manner such as to create a ventilation channel between the subsurface of the wall and the cladding.
  • the tiles are fixed and spaced purely by mechanical means, without the use of mortar or adhesives.
  • a ceramic tiled exterior can enhance the frontage of a building decoratively and architecturally, and a ventilated frontage of this nature both enables the wall to "breathe", and allows the inclusion of a layer of heat insulation between the masonry and the exteriornal cladding.
  • the fixing components in conventional devices for securing wall tiles to a ventilated frontage are somewhat crude and inflexible, affording limited possibilities either of adjustment, or, in the event of the ceramic tiles being damaged or broken, of replacement (see Utility Model DE 8 810 439 and patent CH 407 509).
  • the object of the present invention is one of enabling the construction of a ventilated frontage utilizing a system of mechanical components such as will render the operation of fixing the tiles a more simple procedure, besides allowing adjustments to be made during installation, and replacement of the tiles thereafter.
  • a further object is that of ensuring an improved appearance in comparison with conventional fixing systems, and of harmonizing the exposed metal elements with the remainder of the cladding.
  • 1 denotes a brick or concrete wall lined with a layer of insulating material 2.
  • 3 denotes a first element in the system disclosed, consisting in a tubular upright member, vertically disposed and of continuous embodiment (broken only by expansion joints with connecting sleeves, not illustrated), which affords two longitudinal guide tracks 4 disposed mutually parallel on two opposite sides, and a third track 5 occupying a side normal to the sides occupied by the first two tracks 4.
  • 6 denotes one of a plurality of angle brackets, a second element of the system, which exhibits an 'L' profile and affords two slots 7, one to each wing.
  • brackets 6 are spaced apart one from the next at a prescribed distance and fixed to the wall of the building on the one hand by means of expanding plugs 8 or other suitable hardware, and secured to the tubular upright member on the other by way of threaded fasteners 9 consisting in bolts, of which the heads 10 are insertable in the corresponding tracks 4, and relative nuts 11.
  • the expanding plugs 8 and the bolts 9 engaged in the longitudinal tracks 4 thus constitute means by which to anchor and secure each bracket to the wall and to the upright member, respectively.
  • the plate 14 affords two guides 15, each of which accommodating two springs 16 fastened to the plate itself, and will be seen in figs 1...4 to afford two retaining elements 18, or lugs, positioned to restrain the four adjacent corners of four tiles 19 in square formation, each inserted between one spring 16 and the corresponding lip of the relative element 18.
  • each tile 19 is located between the springs 16 and retaining elements 18 in such a way that the four corners are restrained by four adjacent plates 14 (fig 1).
  • the full expanse of the ventilated frontage is clad utilizing a plurality of the upright members 3, vertically disposed and parallel one with the next, anchored to the wall by way of a suitable quantity of angle brackets 6.
  • the plates 14 With the uprights in position, the plates 14 can be fitted and the tiles 19 then secured in place.
  • the plate 14 may assume any of the embodiments in figs 4 to 7 according to its position in the matrix of tiles, thus, fig 4: intermediate, serving to secure any group of four mutually adjacent tile corners; fig 5: serving to secure one corner of a corner tile; fig 6: serving to secure two corners of two top or bottom border tiles, and fig 7, to secure two corners of two lateral border tiles. Should the need arise, any single tile 19 can be replaced by manoeuvring the adjacent tiles and the respective plates 14.
  • the system of elements according to the invention might comprise a further plate element (not shown) identical to the plate 14 described and illustrated when viewed from the exterior, though embodied with removable retaining elements and designed for use in the event that one or more tiles should need replacing.
  • the retaining elements or lugs of such an additional plate could be equipped with caps, applied on completion of the refitment operation, serving to match the replacement elements to the retaining elements 18 of the standard plate 14.
