An outer bush (6) fits into a hole in the outer glazing panel, an inner bush (8) fits into a hole in the inner panel, and a locking ring (10), a washer (17) and a bolt (20) and nut (16) connect the components to the rigid threaded rod.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un double vitrage de façade sur une structure porteuse constituée par une ossature d'immeuble, ce double vitrage pouvant être constitué par un grand nombre d'éléments de vitrage -en principe carrés ou rectangulaires-juxtaposés. Ce dispositif comporte en principe, à cet effet, pour chaque élément de vitrage, un ensemble d'éléments de fixation dont chacun comprend une tige rigide dont une extrémité est associée à des moyens de serrage sur ledit double vitrage et dont l'autre extrémité est associée à un système grâce auquel elle est reliée à ladite structure porteuse.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a double glazing facade on a load-bearing structure constituted by a building frame, this double glazing can be constituted by a large number of glazing elements - in principle square or rectangular-juxtaposed . This device comprises in principle, for this purpose, for each glazing element, a set of fixing elements, each of which comprises a rigid rod, one end of which is associated with clamping means on said double glazing and the other end of which is associated with a system by which it is connected to said supporting structure.

Un dispositif de ce type général, appliqué aux façades isolantes dites en "verre extérieur accroché" (VEA), est décrit dans la demande de brevet français N° 93 03441 déposée le 25 mars 1993 au nom de la demanderesse. Le dispositif décrit avec référence à sa figure 3 montre son application aux doubles vitrages. A l'heure actuelle, ces façades mettent en oeuvre des vitrages isolants classiques constitués de deux feuilles de verre, d'un intercalaire périphérique et d'un joint de scellement.A device of this general type, applied to insulating facades called "hanging exterior glass" (VEA), is described in French patent application No. 93 03441 filed March 25, 1993 in the name of the applicant. The device described with reference to its figure 3 shows its application to double glazing. At present, these facades use conventional insulating glazing consisting of two sheets of glass, a peripheral interlayer and a sealing joint.

Généralement, un dessicant est incorporé dans l'intercalaire pour dessécher la lame d'air du vitrage, de façon à éviter une condensation ou embuage sur les deux faces internes du vitrage isolant.Generally, a desiccant is incorporated in the interlayer to dry the air gap of the glazing, so as to avoid condensation or fogging on the two internal faces of the insulating glazing.

Cependant, de nombreux problèmes se posent :

  • l'étanchéité des pièces de fixation qui traversent le vitrage isolant, pour éviter l'embuage ;
  • la résistance du joint de scellement périphérique, soumis à des déformations importantes et dont la défaillance entraînerait l'embuage ; et
  • la réalisation des étanchéités entre les vitrages constituant la façade, qui doivent être exemptes de zones mortes dans lesquelles pourrait se produire une condensation de vapeur d'eau qui pénètrerait ensuite dans le vitrage isolant et en provoquerait l'embuage.
However, many problems arise:
  • the sealing of the fastening parts which pass through the insulating glazing, to avoid fogging;
  • the resistance of the peripheral sealing joint, subjected to significant deformations and the failure of which would cause fogging; and
  • sealing between the glazing constituting the facade, which must be free from dead zones in which condensation of water vapor could occur which would then penetrate into the insulating glazing and cause its fogging.

Le but de la présente invention est d'éliminer ces inconvénients, et de mettre en oeuvre, à cet effet, le principe des vitrages isolants respirants.The object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks, and to implement, for this purpose, the principle of breathable insulating glazing.

Pour ce faire, un dispositif de fixation de double vitrage sur une structure porteuse est, conformément à la présente invention, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins certains desdits éléments de fixation comprennent un passage de mise en communication entre d'une part l'extérieur et/ou l'intérieur de ladite façade, et d'autre part la lame d'air comprise entre les deux vitrages de chaque double vitrage.To do this, a device for fixing double glazing to a support structure is, in accordance with the present invention, characterized in that at least some of said fixing elements comprise a passage for communication between on the one hand the outside and / or the interior of said facade, and on the other hand the air space between the two panes of each double glazing.

Ce principe de vitrage isolant respirant consiste donc à mettre en communication la lame d'air du vitrage isolant avec l'intérieur ou l'extérieur du local pourvu de la façade en question. De ce fait, la pression de vapeur s'équilibre et il ne peut pas se produire de condensation à l'intérieur du vitrage ou, si elle se produit, elle disparaît dans un temps très court à la condition que la surface ou la "perméance" des respirateurs ait été calculée en fonction du volume de la lame d'air et du rapport longueur/largeur de la surface vitrée.This principle of breathable insulating glazing therefore consists in putting the air gap of the insulating glazing into communication with the interior or exterior of the room provided with the facade in question. As a result, the vapor pressure equilibrates and there can be no condensation inside the glazing or, if it does, it disappears in a very short time provided that the surface or "permeance "of the respirators was calculated according to the volume of the air space and the length / width ratio of the glazed surface.

En principe, il suffira d'utiliser, pour chaque élément de façade, deux des quatre éléments de fixation prévus pour chacun d'eux, et de préférence les deux éléments inférieurs, car des essais ont montré que c'est la disposition des passages "respirateurs" sur ces éléments inférieurs qui était la plus efficace, quoique une disposition en partie supérieure soit également possible.In principle, it will be sufficient to use, for each facade element, two of the four fixing elements provided for each of them, and preferably the two lower elements, because tests have shown that it is the arrangement of the passages " respirators "on these lower elements which was most effective, although an arrangement in the upper part is also possible.

Avantageusement, on pourra prévoir en outre qu'un filtre anti-poussière est disposé sur ledit passage, ce filtre servant également à arrêter les insectes.Advantageously, provision may also be made for a dust filter to be placed on said passage, this filter also serving to stop insects.

Dans le cas d'un passage de mise en communication entre l'extérieur de ladite façade et ladite lame d'air, un tel dispositif peut encore être caractérisé en ce que l'entrée dudit passage, du côté de l'extérieur de la façade, est pourvue d'une grille anti-goutte d'eau et anti-projection d'eau.In the case of a communication passage between the exterior of said facade and said air space, a such a device can also be characterized in that the entrance to said passage, on the side of the exterior of the facade, is provided with a grid anti-drip water and anti-spray water.

La présente invention porte encore sur des dispositions d'ordre mécanique. On remarquera que dans le mode de réalisation décrit avec référence à la figure 3 de la demande antérieure mentionnée plus haut, les deux vitres du double vitrage sont supportées par un seul et même plot de support. Cela présente le léger inconvénient de fixer une fois pour toutes la position relative des deux vitres l'une par rapport à l'autre, sans permettre de rattraper les légers décalages qui peuvent être dus, par exemple, à une légère imprécision dans le perçage des ouvertures prévues, dans chaque vitre, pour le plot de support commun.The present invention also relates to mechanical arrangements. Note that in the embodiment described with reference to Figure 3 of the previous application mentioned above, the two panes of double glazing are supported by a single support pad. This has the slight disadvantage of fixing once and for all the relative position of the two panes relative to one another, without making it possible to make up for the slight offsets which may be due, for example, to a slight inaccuracy in the drilling of the openings provided in each window for the common support stud.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on prévoit deux plots distincts, un pour chaque vitre ou vitrage, ainsi que des moyens permettant de régler la position de l'un par rapport à l'autre.To remedy this drawback, two separate studs are provided, one for each window or glazing, as well as means making it possible to adjust the position of one relative to the other.

Un dispositif de fixation conforme à l'invention pourra donc être encore caractérisé en ce que lesdits éléments de fixation comprennent : un plot extérieur de support propre à s'engager dans une ouverture du vitrage extérieur pour le supporter ; un plot intérieur de support propre à s'engager dans une ouverture du vitrage intérieur pour le supporter, ce plot intérieur de support comportant les moyens de serrage précités ; et des moyens de solidarisation des deux dits plots dans une position déterminée l'un par rapport à l'autre.A fixing device according to the invention can therefore be further characterized in that said fixing elements comprise: an external support stud suitable for engaging in an opening in the external glazing to support it; an internal support stud suitable for engaging in an opening in the interior glazing to support it, this internal support stud comprising the aforementioned clamping means; and means for securing the two said pads in a determined position relative to one another.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de solidarisation des deux dits plots dans une position relative déterminée comprennent une rondelle excentrique montée pivotante sur un axe de liaison des deux dits plots et permettant par sa rotation sur cet axe de modifier légèrement la position latérale d'un des deux plots par rapport à l'autre.Advantageously, said means for securing the two said studs in a determined relative position comprise an eccentric washer pivotally mounted on a connecting axis of the two said studs and allowing, by its rotation on this axis, to slightly modify the lateral position of one of the two studs compared to each other.

Dans le cas où la communication est prévue entre la lame d'air et l'extérieur, le dispositif pourra encore être caractérisé en ce que ledit passage de mise en communication comprend une entrée sur la face extérieure dudit plot extérieur, et des orifices latéraux, en communication avec ladite lame d'air, pratiqués dans une paroi latérale d'appui dudit plot, supportant le vitrage extérieur.If communication is planned between the air space and the outside, the device can also be characterized in that said communication connection passage comprises an inlet on the external face of said external stud, and lateral orifices, in communication with said air space, made in a lateral support wall of said stud, supporting the exterior glazing.

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention va maintenant être décrit à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, avec référence aux figures du dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un dispositif de fixation de double vitrage respirant conforme à l'invention dans le cas où une communication est établie entre la lame d'air du double vitrage et l'extérieur ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de face montrant le dispositif de positionnement à excentrique ; et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe analogue à celle de la figure 1, dans le cas où une communication est établie entre la lame d'air et l'intérieur du local.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the figures of the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is an axial sectional view of a breathable double glazing fixing device according to the invention in the case where communication is established between the air gap of the double glazing and the outside;
  • Figure 2 is a front view showing the eccentric positioning device; and
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view similar to that of Figure 1, in the case where communication is established between the air space and the interior of the room.

Sur la figure 1, les vitrages extérieur et intérieur constituant une façade F à double vitrage sont des plaques de verre référencées respectivement en 1 et 2 et séparées par une lame d'air isolante 3 ; l'épaisseur de cette lame d'air est maintenue sur son pourtour par un cadre intercalaire rigide 4 sur lequel est posé un joint de scellement périphérique 5. Pour maintenir cette façade F sur la structure porteuse d'un bâtiment (non représentée) on utilise des éléments de fixation E comprenant par exemple :

  • un plot extérieur 6 engagé, pour le supporter, dans une ouverture du vitrage extérieur 1, laquelle ouverture est protégée par un joint cylindro-conique 7 ;
  • un plot intérieur 8 engagé, pour le supporter, dans une ouverture du vitrage intérieur 2, laquelle ouverture est protégée par un autre joint cylindro-conique 9 ;
  • des moyens de serrage prévus sur ce plot 8, constitués d'un écrou 10 engagé sur un corps fileté 11 de ce plot, écrou 10 qui peut donc être serré sur la plaque intérieure 2 avec interposition d'un rondelle de protection 12. Ce même corps 11 du plot 8 comporte un trou taraudé axial 13 dans lequel peut être engagée l'extrémité d'une tige filetée 14 portant à son extrémité libre une rotule 15 permettant une liaison avec la structure porteuse du bâtiment ; l'écrou 16 permet le réglage et le maintien de la position de la rotule par rapport au double vitrage ; et
  • des moyens de solidarisation des plots 6 et 8 dans une position latérale déterminée l'un par rapport à l'autre, ces moyens comprenant une rondelle à bord biseauté 17 calée dans une ouverture de forme complémentaire pratiquée dans le fond 6a du plot 6. Cette rondelle est montée de façon excentrique (voir figure 2) sur l'axe de liaison 18 que constitue une vis engagée dans un autre taraudage axial 19 du plot 8, et dont la tête 20 prend appui extérieurement sur la rondelle excentrée 17.
In FIG. 1, the exterior and interior glazing constituting a facade F with double glazing are glass plates referenced respectively in 1 and 2 and separated by an insulating air layer 3; the thickness of this air space is maintained around its periphery by a rigid intermediate frame 4 on which a peripheral sealing joint 5 is placed. To maintain this facade F on the supporting structure of a building (not shown), use is made fastening elements E comprising for example:
  • an external stud 6 engaged, to support it, in an opening of the external glazing 1, which opening is protected by a cylindrical-conical seal 7;
  • an interior stud 8 engaged, to support it, in an opening of the interior glazing 2, which opening is protected by another cylindrical-conical seal 9;
  • clamping means provided on this stud 8, consisting of a nut 10 engaged on a threaded body 11 of this stud, nut 10 which can therefore be tightened on the inner plate 2 with the interposition of a protective washer 12. This same body 11 of the stud 8 has an axial threaded hole 13 in which the end of a threaded rod can be engaged 14 carrying at its free end a ball joint 15 allowing a connection with the load-bearing structure of the building; the nut 16 makes it possible to adjust and maintain the position of the ball joint with respect to the double glazing; and
  • means for securing the pads 6 and 8 in a fixed lateral position relative to the other, these means comprising a beveled edge at washer 17 wedged into a complementary shaped opening formed in the bottom 6a of the pin 6. This washer is mounted eccentrically (see FIG. 2) on the connecting axis 18 which constitutes a screw engaged in another axial thread 19 of the stud 8, and the head 20 of which bears externally on the eccentric washer 17.

Une autre rondelle ou talon 21 est intercalée entre le fond 6a du plot 6 et la tête du plot 8 pour éviter que la plaque de verre 2 soit soumise à des efforts excessifs provenant d'un contact verre-métal.Another washer or lug 21 is interposed between the bottom 6a of the pad 6 and the pedestal head 8 to prevent the glass plate 2 is subjected to excessive forces from a contact glass-metal.

Grâce à ces dispositions, on peut, en positionnant correctement la rondelle 17 sur son axe 18, rattraper les décalages entre les axes des deux plots de support, compensant ainsi :

  • les tolérances dimensionnelles des deux glaces du vitrage isolant,
  • les tolérances de positionnement des perçages des deux vitres,
  • les tolérances d'assemblage des deux vitrages pendant le collage.
Thanks to these arrangements, it is possible, by correctly positioning the washer 17 on its axis 18, to make up for the offsets between the axes of the two support pads, thus compensating:
  • the dimensional tolerances of the two insulating glass panes,
  • the positioning tolerances of the holes of the two panes,
  • the assembly tolerances of the two glazing units during bonding.

Pour rendre "respirant" le double vitrage qui vient d'être décrit, le plot 6, qui est creux, est obturé par une grille anti-goutte d'eau et anti-projection d'eau 22, et comporte dans sa paroi latérale cylindrique des orifices 23 de communication avec la lame d'air 3. On obtient ainsi commodément une communication entre la lame d'air 3 et l'extérieur de la façade. Des filtres anti-poussière et anti-insectes 24 peuvent en outre être prévus sur les orifices 23 pour maintenir la propreté de l'espace contenant la lame d'air 3.To make the double glazing which has just been described "breathable", the stud 6, which is hollow, is closed by a grid anti-drip water and anti-spray water 22, and has in its cylindrical side wall orifices 23 for communication with the air gap 3. This gives conveniently communication between the air space 3 and the exterior of the facade. Anti-dust and anti-insect filters 24 can also be provided on the orifices 23 to maintain the cleanliness of the space containing the air space 3.

Outre ceux déjà indiqués, l'invention présente les avantages suivants.In addition to those already indicated, the invention has the following advantages.

Elle offre la possibilité de monter les éléments respirants avant ou après l'assemblage du dispositif, ainsi que la possibilité de changer le filtre 24 et la grille 22 pendant toute la durée de vie du vitrage.It offers the possibility of mounting the breathable elements before or after assembly of the device, as well as the possibility of changing the filter 24 and the grid 22 throughout the lifetime of the glazing.

En outre, il n'y a pas de respirateur en périphérie du vitrage, ce qui facilite la réalisation de l'étanchéité périphérique du vitrage et l'étanchéité entre vitrages. D'autre part, il n'y a aucune déformation du vitrage 1 due aux variations de pression de la lame d'air 3.In addition, there is no respirator at the periphery of the glazing, which facilitates the achievement of the peripheral sealing of the glazing and the sealing between glazing. On the other hand, there is no deformation of the glazing 1 due to the pressure variations of the air space 3.

Par rapport au double vitrage classique, l'invention présente aussi l'avantage d'une simplification des matériaux constituant le système de collage périphérique, et de ne plus nécessiter de déshydratant. Elle offre également la possibilité de réalisation de lames d'air de forte épaisseur, ce qui permet d'atteindre de meilleures performances thermiques et acoustiques. De plus, il n'y a pas de contraintes supplémentaires dans les verres autres que celles dues au vent, et il n'y a pas besoin de dispositif particulier pour la pose en altitude, puisque la lame d'air est en communication avec l'extérieur.Compared to conventional double glazing, the invention also has the advantage of simplifying the materials constituting the peripheral bonding system, and of no longer requiring a desiccant. It also offers the possibility of producing thick air knives, which allows better thermal and acoustic performance to be achieved. In addition, there are no additional constraints in the glasses other than those due to the wind, and there is no need for any particular device for installation at altitude, since the air gap is in communication with the 'outside.

On peut obtenir globalement les mêmes avantages avec le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, dans lequel la communication est établie entre la lame d'air 3 et l'intérieur du local. Dans cette figure, les mêmes éléments que sur la figure 1 ont été désignés par les mêmes références, et les éléments analogues par les mêmes références pourvues du signe "prime". On voit que dans ce cas les éléments de fixation E sont simplifiés, puisqu'il n'y a plus qu'un seul système boulon 10'-écrou 11' pour solidariser les plots extérieur 6' et intérieur 8' et pour assujettir le double vitrage sur la tige de support 14. Dans ce mode de réalisation, c'est le plot de support intérieur 8' qui est creux et qui assure la communication entre l'intérieur du local et la lame d'air 3, par l'intermédiaire des passages latéraux 23' pourvus de filtres 24'.The same advantages can be obtained overall with the embodiment of FIG. 3, in which communication is established between the air space 3 and the interior of the room. In this figure, the same elements as in FIG. 1 have been designated by the same references, and similar elements by the same references provided with the sign "prime". We see that in this case the fastening elements E are simplified, since there is only one bolt 10'-nut 11 'system for securing the exterior 6 'and interior 8' pads and to secure the double glazing on the support rod 14. In this embodiment, it is the interior support pad 8 'which is hollow and which ensures communication between the inside the room and the air space 3, through the lateral passages 23 'provided with filters 24'.

Pour établir une communication entre la lame d'air 3 et l'intérieur du local, il est à noter qu'une autre solution pourrait consister à rejeter la structure de la façade à l'extérieur du bâtiment, c'est-à-dire devant la façade en regardant le bâtiment de l'extérieur. Dans ce cas, les ouvertures de la figure 1 se trouveraient à l'intérieur du bâtiment.To establish communication between the air space 3 and the interior of the premises, it should be noted that another solution could consist in rejecting the structure of the facade outside the building, that is to say in front of the facade looking at the building from the outside.
