Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a facade structure for a building or similar construction, as described, for example, in GB-A-1 211 882 or FR-A-1 395 895, in particular of the type consisting of vertical load-bearing walls, s extending according to the depth of the building from horizontal slabs delimiting the successive floors of this building, these walls and slabs together forming cells in which are distributed the dwellings or rooms to be provided in the building, at each level thereof .
  • the cells thus delimited are closed by a front wall, said "mantle" wall, vertical, perpendicular to the aforementioned slabs and load-bearing walls, this wall usually comprising a panel inserted into the opening of each cell and which incorporates a support structure for elements of sound, thermal insulation and protection against water, wind and, where appropriate, fire.
  • This panel is then fitted with an exterior covering or cladding, generally made of stones, bricks or the like, forming the external facade of the building.
  • the present invention relates to a facade structure of an entirely different design, making it possible to arrange and distribute, directly on site, the door frames and windows inside the panel, in particular by authorizing any adjustments that may prove necessary before being immobilized and mounting between these frames the essential insulation and sealing gasket, and finally bringing back last exterior cladding for finishing and protection.
  • the structure considered, to be mounted between two vertical load-bearing walls and two horizontal slabs separated by these walls, by delimiting together a cell open towards the outside in front of a building is characterized in that it comprises, arranged in the vicinity of the outer edge or nose of the slabs, two healds parallel to the plane of the external facade closing the cell, these healds, respectively high and low, being horizontal and fixed opposite on the top of the lower slab and on the bottom of the upper slab, each stringer having suspension hooks for the high stringer and for guiding and holding for the low stringer, at least one assembly part also comprising hooks cooperating with those of the struts, and at least one solid or hollow vertical profile, open at its ends in which the connecting parts carried by the top and bottom rails are engaged, locking keys being provided for engaging transversely between each stringer and the connecting part cooperating with it, between the underside of the stringer and the upper face of the part, each key having a profile inclined to the horizontal, so that its transverse movement between the arm and the part
  • the structure according to the invention thus consists in providing the facing surfaces with two horizontal slabs between two vertical load-bearing walls, with two parallel rails, acting as guide rails for assembly parts, hooking respectively in these rails, allowing their displacement along the longitudinal dimension of the latter to adjust their positioning in accordance with the structure of the desired facade panel.
  • Each pair of assembly parts thus carried by the top rail and by the bottom rail, is associated with a vertical connecting profile in the open ends of which the parts engage, this profile thus ensuring, in the vertical direction the continuity of the frame formed with the beams.
  • the locking keys allow it to be immobilized definitively therein, the front panel then being completed by positioning between the successive frames thus formed of a filling or lining then of the final exterior cladding.
  • each vertical profile comprises, in the running part, between the assembly pieces engaged at its ends, one or more irons made of omega or other, allowing the hanging on this profile of the exterior cladding or of panels of 'insulation.
  • the exterior cladding may comprise a reinforcing lining only, improving the thermal and / or acoustic protection of the structure.
  • each assembly part has an upper face having at least one sloping surface inclined to the horizontal, the locking key which slides between the heald and the part taking the shape of a corner with one face. inclined with the same slope, in order to cause the complete blocking of the arm and the part at the end of the race.
  • each assembly part may comprise one or more parallel extensions for the engagement of two neighboring vertical sections, and have, at the right of each of these extensions, inclined surfaces, provided on either side of the part and having opposite slopes, so as to cooperate with two separate keys sliding one towards the other.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 is schematically represented, under the general reference 1, a conventional facade structure comprising a panel 2, mounted between vertical load-bearing walls such as 3 and 4 and horizontal support slabs, respectively 5 and 6, the assembly delimiting a cell with a rectangular profile in which the panel 2 is inserted directly.
  • This is prefabricated in the factory and includes longitudinal members such as 8 and 9, vertical and horizontal, delimiting either solid panels 10 in which an appropriate lining is arranged, providing suitable sound and thermal insulation of the panel, or perforated parts 11 for the installation of a window for example.
  • the panel 2 has a covering and protective cladding 12.
  • Such prefabricated panels are difficult to manufacture due to their notable dimensions, even more so to transport and to put in place in the cells 7 intended to receive them. In addition, they practically do not make it possible to recover the possible games during assembly and also to play directly on the distribution, in the surface of the panel, of the longitudinal members 8 and 9 delimiting the panels 10 and the perforated parts 11.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks using a facade structure as shown in Figures 5 to 12.
  • the parts 18 and 19 themselves have hooks 20 and 21, arranged to cooperate with the hooks 16 and 17 of the two rails, while allowing these parts to slide freely according to the length of the latter to come to be placed in any suitable position inside the cell 7 delimited between the slabs 5 and 6 (and the vertical bearing walls which connect these two slabs.
  • a vertical profile 22 is assembled on the connecting pieces 18 and 19, constituted by a hollow metallic element, the cross section of which is determined so that the two connecting pieces engage at a sufficient depth in the ends of the profile, thus being arranged in the vertical extension of one another on the top and bottom horizontal rails 14 and 15.
  • FIGs 8 to 11 illustrate an alternative embodiment on which identical reference numerals have been used to designate members similar to those described in the example of Figures 5 to 7.
  • each assembly part, here the part 19 mounted under the top rail 15 and suspended from the latter by its hooks 17, has two extensions, 27 and 28 respectively, neighbors but separate, to allow the mounting of two separate connecting sections, or even a single section, coming to fit as previously on the connecting pieces associated with the two rails.
  • the part 19 represented thus comprises two tracks, respectively 30 and 31, in line with the extensions 27 and 28, with two opposite keys ensuring the blocking of the part following a sliding of these keys in the direction of one of the other with opposite movements.
  • Figure 12 shows the facade structure in its final state of completion, the connecting profiles 22 mounted between the connecting pieces 18 and 19 on the beams 14 and 15, being associated towards the outside of the building with cladding or protective coating 32 and towards the inside of the cell 7 to lining panels 33 and 34, fixed and immobilized with respect to the sections by connecting irons 35 or 36 suitably distributed according to the height of these sections.
  • a facade structure of very simple design is thus produced, and which allows all the adaptations which may be envisaged with the frames of doors, windows or the like, to be mounted in this facade, prior to the installation of the usual filling panels. between these frames and, if necessary, that of the exterior cladding.
  • This structure is simple to manufacture, very easy to set up, in particular without requiring specialized labor and is therefore a particularly advantageous cost price.
