Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a device for fastening panels to facades, in particular with a plastic profile for thermal separation between load-bearing metal structures and outer glass retaining profiles, and for hermetically sealing the retaining structure.
  • the known fastening devices all require a support structure which requires a special support profile provided only for the corresponding holding device, which has a disadvantageous effect on facades which already have a finished support structure, such as, for example, in buildings to be renovated.
  • the multi-part device according to the invention for fastening plate-like covers, in particular multi-pane insulating glasses to building facades, which are attached to horizontal and vertical support structures, the multi-pane insulating glasses being held by elastic material which on the one hand rests on the support structure and on the other hand on a plate holding bar is fastened, characterized in that it has a whole-part insulating profile made of plastic, which engages with its middle part, which has a groove, into which a holding block, the whole-part insulating profile being securely placed on an elongated projection of a profile tube by support points, and the whole-part insulating profile is designed so that in the lower area on each arm on one side receives a seal and on the opposite side an additional profile in a retaining groove, and in the upper area of the groove receives a central seal made of elastic material.
  • This multi-part device according to the invention for fastening plate-like covers with a whole-part insulating profile has in particular the decisive advantage over conventional similar fastening devices that it can be attached to practically any type of support structure, whether round, angular or polygonal.
  • the new device according to the invention for fastening plate-like covers also offers better thermal insulation, which in any case does justice to the new thermal insulation regulation. It is also of decisive advantage that only two materials such as PVC and steel are used for the device according to the invention, so that there is therefore a better reusability (recycling) of the materials.
  • Another advantage of the present invention can be seen in the fact that the entire fastening of the covers can be created with only two profiles, ie a PVC profile and a metal profile. Since the load-bearing parts of the construction are made of steel and not of aluminum, as in most conventional constructions, a more compact construction of the overall construction is also an option. Furthermore, the simple construction of the device according to the invention simplifies the attachment of the covers to be fastened. For this reason, the device can be priced more favorably.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the present invention is therefore to provide two grooves arranged on the longitudinal side at the lower part of the all-part insulating profile for receiving the glass seals, double-sided dovetail grooves being fitted on the opposite side of the sealing grooves, which can accommodate an additional profile or flat on the surfaces of the profile tube or the steel structure.
  • the upright central part according to the invention with two parallel legs which are supported on the inside by two pins against an elongated projection of the profile tube of the steel structure.
  • a longitudinal groove for receiving a holding block or advantageously for changing the profile, a change profile is arranged at the upper end of the upright middle part.
  • a further adaptation to different distances between the cover plates and the support structure is made possible according to the invention in that a distance adjustment is possible with an attachment or change profile which engages in the grooves for receiving the seals. A distance enlargement or reduction can also be carried out with this.
  • the upper part of the enlargement profile is U-shaped and has two downward-facing pins which engage in the groove of the central part and thus allow a further variation in the distance between the plates and the support structure.
  • the U-shaped design of the enlargement profile has an extremely advantageous effect, since with two legs which engage in two grooves, they accommodate a central seal which completely prevents the effect of moisture in the interior behind the plates.
  • the center seal extends from one edge of one cover plate to the other edge of the other cover plate, which provides a hermetic seal.
  • the lateral nose projections of the center seal according to the invention which are pressed firmly against the edges of the cover plates after their installation and form a channel due to the elasticity of the material used, in which the possible water can run off, have a particularly advantageous effect.
  • the cover plates are advantageously fastened with a commercially available plate holding strip which is fastened by means of a self-drilling screw.
  • the self-drilling screw is to be screwed into a wall of the profile tube of the support structure.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of the device according to the invention for fastening plate-like covers in a preferred embodiment.
  • the entire fastening device 1 is fastened to a support structure 2.
  • the cover plates 3 are fastened with a commercially available plate holding strip 5 and a self-drilling screw 31.
  • the plate holding strip 5 receives on its sides a seal 4 made of elastic material, which is in direct contact with the cover plate 3 to be fastened.
  • the all-part insulating profile 6 made of plastic is placed on a profile tube 9 which, on the other hand, is fastened to a support structure 2 with its smooth, flat lower surface 28.
  • the type of attachment can be done in different ways; eg by screwing or by welding.
  • the whole-part insulating profile 6 according to the invention is pushed onto the elongated projection 8 of the profile tube 9, and its special embodiment fulfills several functions.
  • the insulating profile 6 lies flat with its flat feet 16 on the profile tube 9. On the flat feet 16 there are two grooves 13 on each side for receiving an elastic seal 10, 24, which are also directly connected to the plate-like covers 3. In the upper part of the insulating profile 6 there is a relatively wide groove 7, in which a holding block 11 engages.
  • the holding block 11 is made from two legs that are perpendicular to each other.
  • the smooth outer sides of the legs of the holding block 11 serve to support the seals 4 in the plate holding strip 5 and to rest the sides of the covers 3 into the groove 7 and the side leg rests on a step-like cross section of the insulating profile 6 on the outside of the leg 17 of the insulating profile 6.
  • In the upper leg there are at least two bores 23 in the holding blocks 11, through which the self-drilling screw 31 is passed and holds the entire fastening device 1 together.
  • the whole-part insulating profile 6a is similar to the whole-part insulating profile 6 described above. Instead of the smooth contact surface 16, this whole-part insulating profile 6a according to the invention has an attachment with a dovetail-like groove 35 into which a dovetail 37 of an additional profile 34 engages.
  • the additional profile 34 is used to change the distance and adjust the height of the cover plates 3 from the support structure 9.
  • Either a seal or an enlargement profile 22 can optionally be inserted into the groove 13, which lies opposite the dovetail groove 35. Depending on the application and local conditions, it is advisable to choose an enlargement profile 22 which has a slope 46.
  • the groove 7 is practically formed by two legs 42, on the outer surface of which a toothing 45 is attached.
  • the toothing 45 serves to secure the part 11, 11a.
  • a further enlargement profile 33 can be inserted into the groove 7, which is formed from a U-shaped profile with two lateral legs 39, on the underside of which two downward-facing pins 38 are arranged. This enlargement profile 33 can be inserted into the groove 7 and thereby increases the distance between the cover plates 3 and the support structure 9.
  • a central seal 41 is placed on the enlargement profile 33, which has two longitudinal grooves 40, which in turn engage in the legs 39 of the enlargement profile 33 or the legs 42 of the groove 7.
  • the center seal 41 extends from one edge of a cover plate 3 to the other edge of a further cover plate 3.
  • the lateral lip-like nose projections 44 are shaped by the contact pressure on the edges 43 so that they form a groove 46 in which possible water can run off.
  • FIG 1b shows the multi-part device according to the invention in the assembled state in one embodiment.
  • the center seal 41 is located directly on the legs 42 of the integral insulation profile 6.
  • the nose projections 44 lie close to the edges 43 of the cover plates 3.
  • FIG. 1c shows a further possible variation of the multi-part device according to the invention in the assembled state.
  • the enlargement profile 33 engages in the groove 7 of the integral insulation profile 6.
  • the two legs 39 of the enlargement profile 33 are in engagement with the grooves 40 of the center seal 41.
  • two different glass seals 10, 24 are used together with an enlargement profile 22.
  • the profile tubes 9 have feet of different thicknesses, which means that Adjustment of the distances of the cover plates 3 to the support structure 2 is caused.
  • the integral insulating profile 6 consists essentially of two feet 16, each with a groove 13 for receiving a seal, not shown here, and two parallel legs 17 at right angles to the feet 16.
  • the legs 17 two pins 18 which are directly connected to the elongated projection 8 and thus support the legs 17 of the insulating profile 6 and give a certain hold, and form a cavity 12 between the insulating profile 6 and the elongated projection 8.
  • At the upper part of the insulating profile 6 there is a relatively wide groove 7, in which the holding block 11 engages with its matching counterpart 25.
  • the length of the insulating profiles depends on the length of the profile tube 9, which in turn is determined by the support structure 2.
  • the insulating profile 6 serves primarily for the thermal separation between load-bearing metal structures 2 made of commercially available profiles and the outer glass holding profiles.
  • the profiling of the insulating profiles 6 forms air cushions which enable a high insulation value in the area of the load-bearing structure. This is a significant advantage over conventional holding devices with regard to the new thermal insulation regulations.
  • the insulating profiles 6 are constructed in such a way that different sealing levels are created for optimal drainage by notching and overlapping the transom / item profile.
  • FIG. 3a to 3c different profile tubes 9, which rest on the support structure, are shown in perspective.
  • Fig. 3a one possibility is shown in which the elongated projection 8 for receiving the insulating profile 6 is attached directly to the supporting structure 2.
  • This embodiment is used when the distance between the cover plates 3 and the support structure 2 is as small as possible and there is the possibility of fastening the projection 8 directly on the support structure 2.
  • the holding blocks 11 are placed on the insulating profile 6 at regular intervals and fastened through the bores 23 with at least two self-drilling screws 31, which are not shown here.
  • the inner profile of the holding blocks 11 is exactly matched to the outer profile of the insulating profile 6, so that a secure fit of the holding blocks 11 is ensured.
  • an air cushion or cavity is formed between the insulating profile 6 and the steel structure, which also ensures good thermal decoupling.
  • 3b and 3c show the different heights of the feet of the profile tubes 9 described in FIG. 2 in the assembled state with the insulating profile 6 and the holding block 11.
  • the entire fastening device is shown together with the cover plates 3 to be fastened.
  • the hanging cover plate 3 on the right side of the illustration rests with one side on the holding block 11 and the insulating profile 6.
  • On the left side of the illustration a holding block is unnecessary, since with a hanging cover plate 3 no weight has to be absorbed on this side, but only has to be held by the plate holding bracket 5.
  • the cover plate 3 is on both sides with the seals 4 of the retaining strip 5 and the seals 10 of the insulating profile 6 in direct contact. With appropriate pressure by the drilling screw 31, a secure fit of the cover plate 3 is guaranteed.
  • FIG. 4b shows the fastening device 1 according to the invention in the assembled state, whereby in contrast to FIG. 4a, an adaptation to the external conditions was made only by the different thickness of the profile tube 9.
  • FIG. 5 different cross sections of a support structure 2 are shown schematically. This illustration should make it clear that when the holding device according to the invention is used, the external shape of the carrier or its surface is not important in order to be able to accommodate the fastening device 1.
  • the device 1 according to the invention can be attached to round, square or T-shaped supports. It is only important that there is a flat support surface for fastening the profile tube 9.
  • the 6a shows different sizes of change profiles 22 in cross section.
  • the change profiles I, II, III serve to increase the distance, while the profile IV serves to reduce the distance between the cover plates 3.
  • the claws 12 of the profiles engage in the longitudinal groove 13 of the insulating profile 6 and thereby increase the distance between the seals 10 and the support structure 2.
  • the upper grooves 13a thus replace the original grooves 13 in the insulating profile 6 for receiving the seals 10 and 24.
  • FIG. 6b shows a fastening device 1 according to the invention in the assembled state with a corresponding distance enlargement profile.
  • a distance enlargement profile 22 is inserted into the groove 13 and a corresponding seal 10 is inserted into the groove 13a
  • the groove 13 receives an enlarged seal 10, so that the distance between the cover plates 3 and the support structure is ultimately the same on both sides.
  • FIG. 7a The same distance regulation of the cover plates 3 to the support structure 2 can be achieved with an insulating profile 6 from FIG. 7a.
  • the feet 16 of the insulating profile 6 have an attachment 29 which is permanently connected to the insulating profile 6.
  • this attachment 29 the distance between the cover plates 3 and the support structure 2 also depends. This is illustrated in FIG. 7b in the assembled state.
  • a hardwood 30 is placed between the insulating profile 6 and one side of the cover plate 3 to absorb the weight.
