Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a facade covering consisting a metal cladding comprising a support structure and cladding elements made of extruded profiles in aluminum alloy or synthetic material, these profiles being provided with quick coupling means for ensuring a connection rigid between them when they are juxtaposed two by two, and said support structure comprising elements longitudinal profiles, obtained by extrusion and produced in aluminum alloy, arranged vertically at intervals regular and having an axial longitudinal groove having internal walls provided with grooves parallel to the axis, these grooves being arranged to receive mounting screws cladding elements, these screws having a threaded barrel arranged to cooperate with said grooves of the grooves of the elements longitudinal profiles.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by performing a facade cladding as defined above and characterized that said profiled longitudinal elements have a general T-shape, the central part of the T comprising said axial longitudinal groove extending over only part of the height of the central part in T and a tongue arranged in the extension of the throat, and the part transverse of said T decomposing into two lateral fins respectively arranged on either side of said groove, and in that said support structure also includes angled brackets, one arm of which has at least one opening for the passage of a wall fixing screw and of which the other arm has a slot arranged to receive at least partially the tongue of the central part of the T.
  • said arm provided with the slot comprises a substantially cylindrical housing, formed on its entire width, perpendicular to said slot, this housing being arranged to receive a locking screw of a profiled longitudinal member when the tongue of the part central of the T is engaged in said slot.
  • Said locking screw is preferably self-drilling and the cylindrical housing is preferably split axially.
  • the distance between the side walls of the groove of the longitudinal elements profiles, this distance being measured at the bottom of the grooves opposite, is substantially equal to the thickness of the barrel of the screws mounting, this thickness being measured outside the threads thread.
  • said cladding elements may include housings provided by hide lighting.
  • said cladding elements include both quick coupling means and means for locking these elements in their position mated.
  • the facade covering 10 comprises a set of cladding elements 11 which are produced under a form of longitudinal panels mounted side by side to form an outer surface having a continuous appearance.
  • These elements of cladding are made of aluminum, an aluminum-based alloy or a synthetic material, by extrusion according to a technique well known for the manufacture of profiles.
  • the cladding elements include quick coupling means 12 and means for lock 13 which allow them to be linked together and blocked in position.
  • These quick coupling means 12 are advantageously consist of a groove 12a formed along a side of each cladding element 11 and a flange 12b formed on the along the other side of each cladding element 11.
  • the geometry of the groove 12a and the rim 12b is such that the rim 12b of a first cladding element 11 can engage in the groove 12a of another cladding element 11 disposed adjacent to the first. This nesting is such that, seen from the outside, two cladding elements 11 arranged side by side give an appearance uninterrupted, i.e. define a continuous surface.
  • the locking means advantageously consist of two tabs 13a and 13b, located on the rear face of the cladding element 11 and provided respectively with two nozzles 13d and 13c having some elasticity.
  • the tab 13a equipped with its beak 13d extends one of the walls which defines the groove 12a, and is arranged along the side of the cladding element 11 which has this groove.
  • the paw 13b and the corresponding spout 13c are arranged on the rear face of the cladding element 11 near the edge having the rim 12b. Therefore, the two legs 13a and 13b overlap at their end and the spouts 13d and 13d hook to each other when two cladding elements 11 are coupled, that is to say mounted adjacent.
  • the part of the cladding elements 11 comprising the groove 12a and the tab 13a is provided with a recess 16 defining a bearing surface 17 to allow the simultaneous fixing of two cladding elements on element 15 of the support structure.
  • the support surface 17 is substantially flat to facilitate this support and the depth of the recess 16 is defined so as to allow to drown the head of the screws 14 and to adjust the spacing of the cladding by in relation to the support structure.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 show other embodiments cladding elements, also manufactured according to this technical.
  • these cladding elements include quick coupling means 12 and locking means 13 which are arranged on both sides of their edges to allow a link between these different elements free of any apparent discontinuity, when the cladding is completely assembled on the facade of a building.
  • FIGS 5 and 6 illustrate in more detail the mode of fixing of the cladding elements on the support structure.
  • This support structure comprises longitudinal profiled elements 20, preferably in extruded aluminum, provided with a longitudinal groove axial 21 intended to receive the screws 14 for mounting the cladding elements 11.
  • These profiled longitudinal elements 20 are linked to a masonry work 22 by means of brackets 23 also made from an extruded aluminum profile cut by sections.
  • the longitudinal profiled elements 20 have a shape general T, whose central part includes said longitudinal groove axial 21.
  • This groove has interior walls provided with grooves 21a parallel to the axis and the distance which separates these walls, distance measured at the bottom of the grooves opposite, is substantially equal to the thickness of the barrel of the screws mounting, this thickness being measured outside the threads thread, which allows the screws to be taken in the groove.
  • the part transverse of the T is divided into two lateral fins 20a, 20b, respectively arranged on either side of said groove. These fins can be used to support horizontal supports on which will be fixed the cladding elements 11. It will be noted that the axial longitudinal groove 20 extends only over part of the height of the central part of the T. The rest of this part is present in the form of a tongue 25 arranged in the extension of the axis of the groove 20.
  • the brackets 23 of 90 ° angled shape include an arm 23a and an arm 23b, one of which 23a is intended to be fixed against the work masonry 22 and the other 23b of which is intended to fix an element longitudinal profile 20.
  • the arm 23a is provided with a oblong opening 26 provided for the passage of a bolt or a fixing screw 27. This oblong opening allows adjustment in position of the bracket 23.
  • the arm 23b is provided with a slot 24 arranged to receive said tongue 25 from the central part of the T of the profiled longitudinal element 20.
  • the arm 23b is equipped a substantially cylindrical housing 29 formed over its entire width and arranged to receive a locking screw 28.
  • the housing cylindrical 29 is preferably split over its entire length.
  • the opinion blocking 28 is preferably self-drilling and its head has locking panels preventing loosening due to vibrations.
  • the longitudinal profiled elements 20 are positioned appropriately, adjusting their position, i.e. their distance from the structure in masonry being defined by the depth at which the tongue 25 is introduced into the slots 24 of the arms 23b of the brackets 23.
  • the adjustment of this spacing can be adjusted for example according to the presence and thickness of a layer of insulating material.
  • the opinion blocking 28 self-drilling ensures the blocking in position of the elements 20.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate a particular embodiment allowing indirect lighting incorporated into the cladding metallic.
  • each cladding element 11, the external surface can have any corresponding shape in particular to the profiles illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, includes a lateral extension 30 which defines a housing 31 in which can be fitted with lighting 32.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate two forms of particular embodiment of the spouts of the locking means of the cladding elements 11. Whatever the shape of these organs, they can be done in a relatively simple and efficient way by extrusion, while an equivalent construction by means classics could only be achieved through interventions by complicated and expensive folding and welding.
