Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular system for a building facade composed of substantially equally large rectangular modules comprising glazing panels and/or opaque plate panels secured in mutually connected horizontal and vertical frame members, preferably made from metal profile.
  • the anchoring to the building construction may generally - also due to the dimensions of the panels - frequently only be effected from the outside of the building by use of building cranes and scaffoldings.
  • this circumstance strongly increases the costs incurred by the dismounting work and mounting work.
  • GB patent No. 1 277 891 and US patent No. 3 527 010 deal with facade building systems in which the panels proper may be mounted from the inside of the building but also in this case the securing is made on vertical mullions extending throughout the height of the building and which must be secured from the outside of the building.
  • the frame members which are generally made from strongly heat-conducting metal profiles, in particular aluminium profiles, give rise to cold bridges in the interior of the building, so that said construction in spite of the use of highly insulated glazing panels with insulating panes and corresponding highly insulated sheet panels do not fully satisfy modern requirements for low-energy.
  • the modules are prefabricated with mounted frame members having a substantially L-shaped cross-section with a comparatively narrow external flange as a support for an edge portion of a glazing or plate panel on the external side thereof and an inwards projecting profile wall substantially perpendicular to the glazing or plate panel and which is connected with an elongated supporting member for engaging said edge portion at the internal side of the panel, said profile wall at one set of horizontal frame members or vertical frame members, respectively, at its innermost end being connected with a heat-insulating mounting element, said mounting elements for two juxtaposed profile walls of frame members of neighbouring panels being secured to a common carrier profile secured on a part of the building structure by means of fixture means to be mounted and dismounted from the inside of the building.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an example of a section of a building facade of substantially equally large rectangular modules 1 which may comprise glazing panels with double or multilayer thermopanes as well as opaque plate panels of any sheet material appropriate for use in building facades.
  • the modules 1 are secured in mutually connected horizontal frame members 2 and vertical frame members 3, preferably consisting of metal profiles, in particular aluminium profiles.
  • each panel has a substantially L-shaped cross-section with a comparatively narrow external flange 4 which through an intermediate sealing 5 constitutes the support of an edge portion of the associated glazing or plate panel 1 on the external side thereof, and an inwards projecting profile wall 6 substantially perpendicular to the glazing or plate panel 1.
  • the profile wall 6 at the vertical frame members 3 is at its innermost end connected with a heat-insulating mounting element 7 which together with the corresponding mounting element for the juxtaposed vertical frame member of an adjacent panel is secured to a carrier profile 8 by fixture means which according to the invention may be mounted and dismounted from the inside of the building.
  • the main profile 8 is provided with screw channels 9 and 10 opening into opposite surfaces that are substantially perpendicular to the panels 1 for receiving screws, not shown, passed through bolt holes in the mounting elements 7 formed as rails with a substantially Z-shaped cross-section.
  • the main profile 8 is secured to a load-bearing pillar 12 in the building structure corresponding to the circumstance that the substantially rectangular panels 1 are designed with a width corresponding to the distance between such load-bearing pillars.
  • the profile wall 6 in either of the frame members 2 and 3 is provided with a groove 13 for receiving a glazing bead which in the illustrated embodiment retains a separate gasket 15 separately resting on the internal side of the panel.
  • the glazing bead 14 and the gasket 15 may be designed as an integral element.
  • a cover profile 19 preferably designed so that it tightly joins the load-bearing pillar 12 with which the frame members 3 are connected, and further tightly joins the gasket fillet 15 at the glazing bead 14 so that the frame structure from the inside of the building appears with smooth external sides easy to clean.
  • the L-shaped frame profile proper is identical with the frame profile of the vertical frame members, i.e. with the external flange 4 and the profile wall 6.
  • the innermost ends of the profile walls 6 of the frame members of two adjacent panels 1 are here, however by means of an auxiliary profile 20 connected with a heat-insulating cover profile 21 which in the same manner as the cover profile 19 for the vertical frame members covers the parts of the profile walls 6 acommodated within the panels 1 so that they tightly join the sealings 15 at the glazing beads 14.
  • the cover profile 21 has a smooth external side easy to clean.
  • the height of the panels may be chosen optionally, however preferably so that the modular height constitutes a whole fraction, e.g. half or a third of the height between the storey partitions, the panel dimensions being further chosen so that the panels with a view to the advantageous possibility of the invention of dismouting and mounting from the inside of the building may pass through doors and similar openings in the room partitions of the building.
  • the frame structure may be carried out in such a manner that the horizontal frame members are connected with parts of the building structure, in case the storey partitions whereby, however, the panel height must correspond to the height between the storey partitions and as a consequence the panels might become more bulky, in particular in case of replacement.
