Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a frame for a cladding or window panel intended to ensure the holding and fixing of an exterior plate by surrounding its periphery, composed of a first section arranged to be assembled to a support, having a surface on which the plate will be supported by a peripheral zone and its internal face and a second profile, part of which forms a rim extending in front of the periphery of the external periphery of the plate and another part arranged to be assembled by snap-fastening in a housing s' extending longitudinally in the first profile, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the plates are supported by frames or the like which are fixed to the walls to be coated by more or less conventional means.
  • the plates are made of glass and are fixed on metal frames. At the beginning we started by sticking glass plates on the metal frame with a certain number of disadvantages which are the danger that the plate comes off, the particular attention that must be provided during the transport of these plates on the site. for bonding, the plates being particularly fragile.
  • a frame for a covering or window panel formed by two profiles assembled by snap-fastening, said frame surrounding the periphery of an outer plate.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a frame, as well as a covering panel allowing rapid mounting of the plate on the frame, good holding of the plate by the frame while respecting the aesthetic requirements and reducing the minimum space between two juxtaposed covering panels.
  • the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the second profile comprises a cross-sectional part is U-shaped, the height of which is equal to the distance from the two parallel walls of the housing of the first profile and the width of said part.
  • U-shaped is less than or equal to the depth of the housing, that said part whose U-shaped cross section is secured to the rest of the profile by one of the ends of the U, than the two faces of the housing of the first profile and the second profile are provided with additional means for a irreversible snap-on assembly, said complementary means comprising a rib disposed on the wall of the housing closest to the surface on which the plate will rest, said rib being directed towards the interior of the housing and intended to collaborate with a conjugate groove of the U-shaped part of the second advantage, an L-shaped recess provided on the free end of the second parallel wall of said housing, and a wall of the second advantage secured to the U-shaped portion and arranged so that the assembly of the two sections closes the housing of the first beneficiary and its edge is positioned in said L
  • the advantages of the frame according to the invention are the fact that the plate is held on all sides avoiding the deformations which are encountered sometimes when the plate is held only on two sides, and the fact that the frame is composed of two profiles which are assembled by snap-fastening which allows very rapid assembly during the positioning of the plate on the frame before transporting the panel to the site and the fact that the snap-in is irreversible avoiding accidental disassembly, or even voluntary.
  • the frame has a housing for a lining on which the plate in order to avoid direct contact between the plate and the frame while ensuring a seal behind the plate avoiding the passage of humidity, dust, thus making the cleaning of the plate on its inner face unnecessary. It is also possible, on the one hand, to facilitate the positioning of the plate before the assembly of the second profile and, on the other hand, to improve the tightness and the resistance of the plate, to have on the face of support the frame with a double-sided adhesive strip.
  • the second advantage has a groove in the part closing the rim in which takes place a seal.
  • the invention also relates to a wall cladding panel as defined by claims 6 or 7.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the first profile.
  • Figure 2 is a cross section of the second profile.
  • Figure 3 is a partial sectional view of the two covering panels comprising a plate and a frame according to the invention.
  • the frame according to the invention is essentially composed of two sections, the cross sections of which are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the frame is preferably rectangular in shape, however any polygonal shape can be manufactured without any problem using these two profiles.
  • Figure 1 we have shown in section the first section 1 which is intended to be fixed on a support such as a wall which can be either vertical, inclined or horizontal or on any other support or chassis provided for this purpose.
  • a support such as a wall which can be either vertical, inclined or horizontal or on any other support or chassis provided for this purpose.
  • the part of the profile which is the subject of the present invention and contributing to the holding of a panel made of a material such as glass, stone, synthetic, etc. is the one shown at the bottom of the drawing. It is composed of a housing 2 and a surface 3 on which the plate will rest.
  • the housing is formed by two parallel walls 4 and 5 and a wall 6 perpendicular to these two walls.
  • the wall 6 can be inclined and / or be further from the open face of the housing.
  • the wall 4 is found here to be the same as the support surface 3 of the plate, however it could very well be a wall which is parallel to it, that is to say that it is located a little lower than the Support surface 3. Nevertheless, for reasons of economy of material and manufacturing cost the simplest solution is for the wall 4 to coincide with the surface 3 on which the plate will rest.
  • the wall 4 has, near its edge with the wall 6, a weakening groove 7 in the thickness of the wall 4, thus giving an elasticity allowing the wall to move in the direction of the arrow F during the latching. of the second profile as we will see later.
  • the end of this wall 4 is also provided with a rib 8 directed towards the interior of the housing 2 which will be called upon to collaborate with a groove of conjugate shape of the second profile.
  • the wall 5 has at its end an L-shaped recess 9 in which will be placed an edge of the second profile and also this element constitutes one of the elements preventing the inadvertent disassembly of the two profiles.
  • this profile 1 which are used either to house the seals or to ensure the assembly of profile 1 on the support.
  • the second profile 20 composed of a U-shaped part whose height H is equal to or slightly less than the distance between the interior faces of the walls 4 and 5 of the housing 2 the width L is equal or less than the depth of the housing 2.
  • This U-shaped part 12 is integral with a second part 13 having a wall 13a which will close the housing 2 and ends in an inclined part 14 which will form the holding rim of the plate.
  • the rim 14 can also be perpendicular to the surface 13 but preferably it forms an angle included between 30 ° and 60 ° which ensures, on one side, an effective hold of the panel and on the other side to contribute to the aesthetic appearance of the covering panel since aesthetics would like the frame to extend beyond the less possible on the outer surface of the plate.
  • Part 14 has a groove 16 in which a lining 17 will take place (FIG. 3) avoiding direct contact between the rim 14 and the plate and also ensuring a seal against the introduction of dust, humidity, etc.
  • the dimensions of the edge 13a and of the wall 13 are chosen so that the wall 13 can take place in the recess 9 and close the housing 2.
  • FIG 3 we have shown two juxtaposed covering panels mounted on the frame according to the invention.
  • the plates 18 are in this case mounted on the frame by resting on a gasket 11 ensuring the seal between the frame and the plate and thus on a double-sided adhesive strip 19 facilitating, on the one hand, the positioning of the plate on the first profile before the assembly of the second profile and, improving, on the other hand, the sealing and the holding of the plate on the profile 1.
  • a frame is prepared formed by type 1 profiles arranged so that the housing 2 is directed towards the outside of the frame, the lining is placed on the bearing surface 3 11 and possibly the adhesive strip tocollante 19, the plate 18 is placed, which in this case is provided with a beveled edge to collaborate with the inclined edge of the second profile 20, and then the profile 20 is slid into the housing 2 ensuring the snap-on assembly.
  • the snap-fitting is done by introducing the U-shaped part 12 into the housing 2 and when the groove 15 arrives near the rib 8 of the first profile, a simple pressure allows the irreversible snap-fastening.
  • the snap is irreversible because from the situation shown in Figure 3, it is impossible to get the profile 11 out of the housing 2. Indeed, on the one hand, the end 12a of the U-shaped part is practically supported on the edge between the faces 4 and 6 of the housing, the slightly flat part 12b is supported on the wall 5, and the edge 13a of the surface 13 is in the recess 9 which makes any displacement or attempt to rotate the profile 20 around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the drawing impossible, thus avoiding any untimely disassembly.
  • the only way to dismantle the profile 20 is to slide it along the profile 1 as long as this movement is not prevented by the other transverse profiles.
  • the snap-fasting may not be irreversible if a greater elasticity of the elements contributing to this assembly is provided.
  • the shape of the U-shaped part 12, the rib 8 and the groove 15 as well as the recess 9 constitute the essential elements to allow, on the one hand, an easy snap-in and, on the other hand, a practically irreversible snap-in thus ensuring the good performance of the plate 18 without having to use mounting means requiring relatively long work.
  • the flange 14 is not inclined. It can be parallel to the surface of the panel, it will, for example, be introduced into a groove of the plate provided that the plate is relatively thick. Another solution would be for the edge of the plate to be leveled so that the edge takes place and forms a continuous surface with the plate.
  • the profiles 1 and 20 are preferably made of metal, however, depending on the applications they can be made of any other suitable material.
  • the weakening groove 7 facilitates the movement of the wall 4 in the direction of the arrow F during the latching.
  • Any symmetrical polygonal shape or not can be made for the frame.
