Description
- This invention relates to a sectional structure for erecting roof and wall frames according to the preamble of the main claim.
- As is known, the installation of roofs and faces of the so-called "flush" type involves the erection of a latticework which is usually comprised of aluminum alloy sections and intended to provide support for curtain walls mainly composed of glazed panels.
- An example of such a structure is disclosed in European Patent No. 162227.
- A prerequisite of the design, manufacture, and assembly of structures of this type, is that the various components of the structure be delivered to the job site as much as possible in a pre-assembled condition complete with all the accessory items needed both to connect the post and rail sections together and to implace the glazed curtain walls.
- Extensive pre-fabrication and pre-assembly techniques can lower the structure erection times as well as many of the problems which typify the installation process, while improving the quality of the end product.
- For instance, it has been known to fit, at the workshop stage, the ends of the rail sections with special quick-connect couplers for attachment to the post sections. A typical example of this technology is disclosed in European Patent No. 334080. Such couplers, while serving their function at the assembly stage, still have a disadvantage in their comparatively complicated, and hence expensive, construction. A simpler design juncture is disclosed in published French Patent Application No. 2,517,730. This document shows the use of dowels which are received in slots of the rail sections. However, no directions are given as to how such dowels can be secured on the post sections to form the desired juncture. Even in the assumption that the dowels are to be driven through corresponding holes in the post sections, there are no provisions for securing the junctures, e.g. preventing the dowels from coming out of the holes or the slots after the assembly has been completed.
- Assembly problems also arise in the arrangement of the bracket members intended to support the glazed panels on the latticework at their designed positions. It is found that these members are connected to the latticework sections by the installer in a general way, and then positioned at specific distances according to specifications. Frequently, a resilient lining is also provided between the bracket member and the glazed panel resting on it for cushioning, purposes, in order to avoid chipping the glazed panel during the installation.
- This known technology is the cause of a number of problems. For instance errors may occur in the bracket member positioning whereby the distance between two supports and/or the distance of the supports from the latticework sections would depart from its designed value.
- Further, some of the bracket members may incidentally come loose during application and be dropped to ground; the occurrence, always annoying, may cause delay where the installer has forgotten to carry along, up the latticework, some spare bracket members, just in case. And it may happen that, for a similar reason or by oversight, the resilient lining be omitted. In this case the installed panel may show out of plane and/or be chipped.
- The underlying technical problem of this invention is to provide a sectional structure designed to admit extensive pre-assembly of its components at the workshop and to overcome the drawbacks with which the cited prior art is beset.
- This problem is solved according to the invention by a sectional structure as claimed in Claim 1.
- The subclaims cover preferred embodiments of the invention, to be described in detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment thereof, shown by way of example and not of limitation in the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a junction node between a rail section and a post section in a sectional structure according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a sectional detail view, taken through a rail section, of this structure as incorporating glazed panels;
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a detail of the structure shown in the preceding Figures;
- Figure 4 is a longitudinal section view of an assembled junction node in the structure of this invention; and
- Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a detail of Figure 4.
- With reference to the drawing views, a sectional structure for erecting roof and face skeletons, according to the invention, comprises post sections M and rail sections T, both conventional in construction, which are pre-arranged for mutual connection at junction nodes substantially at right angles into a skeleton to which curtain walls P, e.g. glazed panels of the so-called "chamber pane" type, are then mounted.
- The post sections M and the rail sections T, also referred to as posts and rails hereinafter for simplicity, include each a
tubular body 10 having awall 10a provided with acentral rib 11 apertured lengthwise as at 12. Theslot 12 forms a seat for threading in ascrew 13 to clamp the panel P between the corresponding section M, T and a coveringprofile 14 on which a cap 14a is snap fitted. Aspacer 15 is placed between therib 11 and theprofile 14. - From the
wall 10a of the rail sections T there extend twoparallel wing pairs 16a,b and 17a,b which lie along either sides of thecentral rib 11 and define corresponding channel-shaped sockets forrespective seals 18. Formed along the wings 16b, 17b to face therib 11 is a respectivelongitudinal groove 18a,b having a cylindrical skirt and being formed with anaxial slot 19 whose circumferential extent is smaller than the groove diameter. Thus, a cylindrical object slid into thegroove 18a,b and having an outside diameter that matches the groove inside diameter, but for the necessary clearance to afford a sliding fit, is retained in a radial direction but allowed to slide in the groove along an axial direction. - From the
wall 10a of the post sections M there extend two moreparallel wings 20a,b, each having, at the remote end thereof fromsaid wall 10a, a respective channel-shaped formation 21a,b which constitutes a socket for a seal (not shown). The side walls of this channel-shaped formation are removed at the location of a junction node of a rail section T to leave acutout 22 adapted to receive acorresponding butt 23 on the rail section T. At the location of said junction node, anadapter bush 24 is set in atransverse hole 25 through thecentral rib 11 of thepost section 18a. Thebush 24 is formed with ashoulder 26 on its exterior through which it abuts against therib 11, and has a part of its outer skirt knurled as at 27 for easier driving into thehole 25. - On its interior, it has a slightly reduced diameter at a middle location which defines an
annular ridge 28. - This
bush 24 co-operates with apin 29 being a sliding fit in the groove 19a of a rail T to secure said rail on the post section M. Should thepin 29 be fitted into thegroove 18b by assembly mistake, the required positioning can still be achieved by a 180° turn of the section T. Likewise, said bush enables two rails T, aligned to the same axis and extending from opposite sides of a post section M as shown in Figure 4, to be fastened to each other and to said post section. - The
pin 29 has an enlargeddiameter 30 at a middle location thereon, which is formed by local deformation through knurl impressions in its skirt, and has at an axial end thereof agroove 31 accommodating an elasticallyshrinkable ring 32, such as a rubber ring having a diameter dimension selected to interfere elastically with thegroove 18a, adapted to function as a loss-preventing means by holding thepin 29 to the rail section T while the latter is being handled. - The structure of this invention also comprises bracket members, generally designated 34, each provided with a
bead 35 whereby they are engaged in thesame groove 18a which receives thepins 29. The diameter of thebead 35 is greater than the circumferential length of theslot 19 and such as to be caught and retained in said groove for an axial sliding movement. - Each
member 34 comprises ametal alloy support 36 defining a generally rectangular bearingsurface 37 with twoportions 35a,b of thebead 35, separated by apassage 39, being attached to one of its long sides by respective linkingarms 38. On the remote side from thesurface 37, thesupport 36 has two raised formations 39a,b through which it can bear, when in the working position of Figure 2, on thecentral rib 11 and thespacer 15. A lip 40 is formed along the long side of thesupport 36 remote from thebead 35 at the location of the raised formation 39b. - Each
bracket member 34 is completed by alining 41 of a resilient plastics which includes a plate-like portion 42 overlying in use thebearing surface 37. First and second wings 43a,b extend in the same direction at the long sides of the plate-like portion 42. The wing 43b has a plurality of teeth 43c or other snap fastening means to the lip 40 of thesupport 36. The wing 43a locates at thepassage 39 and is received between thearms 38 of thebead portions 35a,b. Thelining 41 further comprises, located at the wing 43a, a respectivethird portion 44 of thebead 35. With thelining 41 mounted to its respective support, thethird portion 44 fits interlockingly in thepassage 39 to re-establish thebead 35 continuity and hold thelining 41 securely to the support. This bond, being further enhanced by the snap engagement of the teeth 43c and the mating engagement of the wing 43a in thepassage 39, prevents incidental separation of the resilient lining from the support and further ensures, therefore, that the lining be properly fitted at the structure erecting stage. - Notice that the third portion of the
bead 44 is made elastically shrinkable in a radial direction at its middle portion by the provision of a radiallythroughgoing aperture 45 in the form of an elongate slot in the axial direction. Thisportion 44 also has aradial enlargement 46 at the middle portion of theslot 45. By these expedients, a limited interference of theradial enlargement 46 in thegroove 18a can be provided, whereby detachment and loss of the bracket member from its rail section T can be effectively prevented. - With the sectional structure of this invention, a skeleton for roofing and facing is erected as follows.
- The post sections M are prepared at the workshop by providing it with the
cutouts 22 at the designed locations and with thebushes 24 duly driven through thecorresponding holes 25. - Likewise, the rail sections T are machined with
suitable butts 23 and thebracket elements 34 fitted in thegroove 18a as specified. Limitation to the sliding movement ofsuch members 34 in thegrooves 18a prevents them from being incidentally released during subsequent handling of the sections. This pre-assembly at the workshop is completed by inserting thepins 29 into thegrooves 18a, where provided. Thepins 29 are also held securely to the rail sections T. - These items are then taken to the job site where the skeleton will be erected. To this aim, the rail sections are associated as described with the post sections such that the
pins 29 are aligned to theircorresponding bushes 24. On completion of the desired positioning, thepin 29 is approached, on the side where it is received in thecorresponding groove 18a, by its adjacent bracket member, and by hammering in the latter on the remote side from the pin, the latter is driven home to first engage thebush 24 and thecorresponding groove 18a in the further rail section T to be fastened to the post section M, and then set in its eventual position with theknurled portion 30 force fitted in theannular ridge 28. The fastening of the rail sections to the post ones is improved by means ofscrews 48. - Notice that the
pin 29, once driven through thebush 24, forms a spacer for proper positioning of thebracket members 34, it being sufficient that the latter be made to abut on the ends of thepin 29 jutting out of thebush 24.
