Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de support d'un élément du genre d'un brise-soleil, d'un auvent, d'une passerelle, d'une enseigne ou autres, monté en porte à faux sur la façade verticale d'un immeuble ou bâtiment similaire, cette façade constituant ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler dans la technique un "mur rideau", c'est-à-dire formé d'une paroi essentiellement réalisée au moyen de panneaux vitrés jointifs, maintenus dans une armature de fixation discrète, solidarisée du gros oeuvre en béton de la façade.The present invention relates to a device for supporting an element of the type of a sunshade, an awning, a walkway, a sign or the like, mounted in a cantilever on the vertical facade of 'a building or similar building, this facade constituting what is commonly known in the art as a "curtain wall", that is to say formed from a wall essentially produced by means of adjoining glazed panels, maintained in a discreet fixing frame, secured to the concrete shell of the facade.

Dans un tel mur rideau classique, l'armature de fixation comporte usuellement des longerons minces, constituant des montants verticaux, réunis de place en place par des traverses horizontales, ces longerons délimitant des feuillures ouvertes contre lesquelles sont appliqués les panneaux vitrés avant que ceux-ci ne soient bloqués en position dans le fond des feuillures qui les reçoivent par des organes presseurs étroits, qui pincent les bords des panneaux entre eux-mêmes et ces montants.In such a conventional curtain wall, the fixing frame usually comprises thin beams, constituting vertical uprights, joined from place to place by horizontal crosspieces, these beams delimiting open rebates against which the glazed panels are applied before they these are only locked in position in the bottom of the rebates which receive them by narrow pressing members, which pinch the edges of the panels between themselves and these uprights.

De préférence, les montants verticaux et les organes presseurs rapportés sur ceux-ci présentent une faible largeur, de telle sorte que, vu de l'extérieur, le mur rideau donne l'illusion d'une façade totalement vitrée et continue.Preferably, the vertical uprights and the pressing members attached to them have a small width, so that, seen from the outside, the curtain wall gives the illusion of a completely glazed and continuous facade.

On sait par ailleurs que, dans certaines façades d'immeubles, il est nécessaire de prévoir des éléments en saillie extérieure, disposés en porte à faux par rapport à l'aplomb de cette façade, ces éléments pouvant être du type de ceux déjà mentionnés, en particulier constituer des ensembles de protection solaire, des auvents, des passerelles ou analogues.We also know that, in certain facades of buildings, it is necessary to provide external projecting elements, arranged cantilevered with respect to the plumb of this facade, these elements can be of the type already mentioned, in particular constitute sun protection assemblies, awnings, walkways or the like.

Le support de ces éléments vis-à-vis de la façade est usuellement réalisé par des structures d'appui, du genre consoles ou similaires, directement fixées sur le gros oeuvre et sur lesquelles sont montés et immobilisés les éléments en saillie précités.The support of these elements vis-à-vis the facade is usually carried out by support structures, of the console type or the like, directly fixed to the main structure and on which the above-mentioned projecting elements are mounted and immobilized.

Or, lorsque la façade est formée d'un mur rideau continu, la fixation de telles consoles ne peut normalement pas se faire sur les montants verticaux de l'armature de support, les efforts dûs au poids des éléments reposant sur ces consoles, voire également au vent, à la neige ou à d'autres causes, étant reportés sur ces montants et par suite sur les panneaux vitrés qui en sont solidaires par l'intermédiaire des organes presseurs appliqués contre eux.However, when the facade is formed of a continuous curtain wall, the fixing of such consoles cannot normally be done on the vertical uprights of the support frame, the forces due to the weight of the elements resting on these consoles, or even also wind, snow or other causes, being carried over to these uprights and consequently on the glazed panels which are integral therewith by means of the pressing members applied against them.

La solution consiste dans ce cas à faire traverser le mur rideau par les consoles ou autres structures de support, solidaires des éléments en porte à faux pour en permettre la fixation directement sur le gros oeuvre. Toutefois, cette solution est coûteuse, longue à mettre en place et exige la mise en oeuvre de moyens d'étanchéité complexes, entre les panneaux vitrés et les consoles.The solution in this case consists in making the curtain wall pass through the brackets or other support structures, integral with the cantilevered elements to allow fixing directly on the shell. However, this solution is expensive, time-consuming to install and requires the use of complex sealing means between the glass panels and the brackets.

Une autre méthode consiste aussi à rompre la continuité du mur rideau, notamment au niveau d'un ou de plusieurs étages de l'immeuble concerné, aux emplacements où doivent être placées les consoles de support qui peuvent alors être fixées dans le gros oeuvre, notamment au droit des dalles de béton horizontales qui délimitent ces étages. Dans ce cas, il est nécessaire d'isoler et d'habiller le nez de ces dalles avec des tôles ou autres moyens de recouvrement, qui nuisent à l'esthétique de la façade, le mur rideau ne donnant plus une impression de surface continue sur toute sa hauteur.Another method also consists in breaking the continuity of the curtain wall, in particular at the level of one or more floors of the building concerned, at the locations where the support consoles must be placed which can then be fixed in the shell, in particular to the right of the horizontal concrete slabs which delimit these floors. In this case, it is necessary to isolate and cover the nose of these slabs with sheets or other covering means, which affect the aesthetics of the facade, the curtain wall no longer giving an impression of continuous surface on all its height.

Ces techniques connues sont donc pénalisantes, peu pratiques à mettre en oeuvre, et exigent l'utilisation de moyens d'étanchéité ou d'habillage coûteux, dont la tenue n'est pas par ailleurs garantie dans le temps.These known techniques are therefore penalizing, impractical to implement, and require the use of expensive sealing or covering means, the behavior of which is not otherwise guaranteed over time.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de support pour un élément en porte à faux à fixer contre la façade externe d'un mur rideau, qui évite ces inconvénients, en conservant l'entière continuité des montants verticaux métalliques l'armature fixée au gros oeuvre et portant les panneaux vitrés de cette façade, tout en évitant que les efforts auxquels est soumis ce dispositif en cours d'utilisation, dûs au poids de l'élément lui-même ou à des causes extérieures ne soient reportés sur ces panneaux mais soient repris exclusivement par les montants, sans incidence sur les panneaux vitrés appliqués contre ceux-ci.The present invention relates to a support device for a cantilever element to be fixed against the external facade of a curtain wall, which avoids these drawbacks, while retaining the entire continuity of the vertical metal uprights the frame fixed to the large work and carrying the glass panels of this facade, while avoiding that the forces to which this device is subjected during use, due to the weight of the element itself or to external causes are not transferred to these panels but are taken up exclusively by the uprights, without affecting the glazed panels applied against them.

A cet effet, le dispositif de support considéré, adapté à être fixé sur un montant vertical d'une armature portant les panneaux vitrés d'un mur rideau, pincés et maintenus entre ce montant et un organe presseur, apte à être solidarisé de ce montant par l'extérieur, se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte une platine en forme de T, constituée d'une embase plate de positionnement et d'immobilisation vis-à-vis du montant, munie d'une languette centrale disposée perpendiculairement à l'embase et comprenant au moins un perçage pour le passage d'un axe d'articulation avec une chape en U, laquelle se prolonge par au moins un raccord propre à réunir la chape à un moyen de liaison avec l'élément en porte à faux, l'organe presseur présentant une ouverture traversée par la languette centrale de la platine en T et coopérant avec des moyens propres à le solidariser du montant, en emprisonnant contre l'embase une pièce assurant l'isolation et l'étanchéité du montage.To this end, the support device considered, adapted to be fixed to a vertical upright of a frame carrying the glass panels of a curtain wall, pinched and held between this amount and a pressing member, capable of being secured to this amount from the outside, is characterized in that it comprises a T-shaped plate, consisting of a flat base for positioning and immobilization vis-à-vis the upright, provided with a central tongue arranged perpendicular to the base and comprising at least one bore for the passage of a hinge pin with a U-shaped yoke, which is extended by at least one fitting suitable for joining the yoke to a means of connection with the cantilever element, the pressing member having an opening traversed by the central tongue of the T-shaped plate and cooperating with means suitable for securing it to the upright, trapping against the base a part ensuring insulation and sealing of the assembly.

De préférence, la pièce d'isolation et d'étanchéité montée entre l'organe presseur et l'embase de la platine présente une forme en U, de manière à pouvoir recouvrir les deux faces latérales de l'embase de part et d'autre de la languette centrale, cette pièce comprenant une ouverture de passage pour cette languette, sensiblement de mêmes forme et dimensions que l'ouverture de l'organe presseur.Preferably, the insulation and sealing part mounted between the pressing member and the base of the plate has a U-shape, so as to be able to cover the two lateral faces of the base on either side. of the central tongue, this part comprising a passage opening for this tongue, substantially of the same shape and dimensions as the opening of the pressing member.

Avantageusement, l'embase plate est fixée sur le montant par des vis, disposées de part et d'autre de la languette centrale.Advantageously, the flat base is fixed to the upright by screws, arranged on either side of the central tongue.

Par ailleurs et dans un mode de réalisation également préféré du dispositif de support considéré, le moyen de liaison avec l'élément en porte à faux est constitué par au moins un tube, solidarisé à son extrémité de la chape en U articulée sur la languette centrale de l'embase de la platine. En variante, ce moyen de liaison peut être constitué par un câble métallique, tendu entre deux embases distinctes, séparées, portées à distance l'une de l'autre par le montant vertical.Furthermore and in an equally preferred embodiment of the support device considered, the means of connection with the cantilever element consists of at least one tube, secured at its end to the U-shaped clevis articulated on the central tongue. of the plate base. As a variant, this connecting means may consist of a metal cable, stretched between two distinct, separate bases, carried at a distance from each other by the vertical upright.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'axe d'articulation de la chape en U sur la languette centrale est constitué de deux parties, respectivement mâle et femelle, la partie mâle comprenant un filetage se vissant dans un alésage taraudé de la partie femelle, chacune des deux parties étant munie d'une tête épaulée en appui sur l'une et l'autre des faces externes de la chape.According to another characteristic, the axis of articulation of the U-shaped yoke on the central tongue consists of two parts, male and female respectively, the male part comprising a thread screwing into a threaded bore of the female part, each of the two parts being provided with a shouldered head resting on one and the other of the external faces of the yoke.

Selon une première forme d'exécution, la languette comporte plusieurs perçages voisins, recevant chacun un axe d'articulation différent pour autant de chapes en U. En variante, la languette comporte un perçage unique, la chape en U étant réunie à plusieurs raccords séparés pour autant de moyens de liaison avec l'élément en porte à faux.According to a first embodiment, the tongue comprises several neighboring holes, each receiving a different articulation axis for as many U-shaped yokes. As a variant, the tongue has a single hole, the U-shaped yoke being joined to several separate connections for as many means of connection with the cantilever element.

Enfin et selon encore une autre caractéristique, l'ouverture ménagée dans l'organe presseur et traversée par la languette centrale de l'embase de la platine présente une forme rectangulaire, dont le profil correspond sensiblement à la section droite de cette languette, qui s'engage librement dans cette ouverture.Finally and according to yet another characteristic, the opening made in the pressing member and traversed by the central tongue of the base of the plate has a rectangular shape, the profile of which corresponds substantially to the cross section of this tongue, which s 'freely engage in this opening.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de support d'un élément en porte à faux vis-à-vis d'un mur rideau d'un bâtiment ou construction analogue, établi conformément à l'invention, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit de plusieurs exemples de réalisation, donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

Les montants 4 de l'armature sont réunis à distances appropriées par des traverses 6, formant avec ces montants un cadre dans lequel s'applique chacun des panneaux 2, ceux-ci étant pratiquement jointifs dans la façade, de telle sorte que, vue de l'extérieur, elle donne une impression de quasi totale continuité, seule étant pratiquement visible l'arête supérieure 7 des montants 4, matérialisant une ligne verticale de part et d'autre de l'assemblage des panneaux vitrés correspondants.The uprights 4 of the frame are joined at appropriate distances by crosspieces 6, forming with these uprights a frame in which each of the panels 2 is applied, these being practically contiguous in the facade, so that, seen from outside, it gives an impression of almost total continuity, only being practically visible the upper edge 7 of the uprights 4, materializing a vertical line on either side of the assembly of the corresponding glazed panels.

Dans une façade à mur rideau, du genre brièvement exposé ci-dessus, il est fréquemment nécessaire, du moins opportun, de monter, en porte à faux vis-à-vis de cette façade, un élément qui s'étend vers l'extérieur, tel qu'un brise-soleil, un auvent, une passerelle, une enseigne ou autre, cet élément devant être solidarisé de la façade et du gros oeuvre du bâtiment afin d'être supporté convenablement.In a curtain wall facade, of the kind briefly explained above, it is frequently necessary, at least opportune, to mount, cantilevered against this facade, an element which extends outwards , such as a sunshade, an awning, a gangway, a sign or other, this element must be secured to the facade and the main structure of the building in order to be properly supported.

Toutefois, en raison de la présence des panneaux vitrés qui occupent la quasi totalité de la façade, la fixation d'un tel élément en porte à faux exige la mise en oeuvre de moyens particuliers tels notamment que prévus par l'invention.However, due to the presence of the glazed panels which occupy almost all of the facade, the fixing of such an element in cantilever requires the implementation of special means such as in particular those provided by the invention.

Dans l'exemple représenté, l'élément en porte à faux considéré est un brise-soleil, désigné globalement sous la référence 8 et qui comporte une structure de support 9 formée de tubes ou profilés 10 convenablement réunis entre eux pour constituer un ensemble ici de forme triangulaire, la structure 9 se prolongeant par des pattes transversales 11, s'étendant horizontalement et prévues pour venir se fixer sur les montants verticaux 4 de l'armature 3 des panneaux vitrés 2.In the example shown, the cantilever element in question is a sunshade, generally designated by the reference 8 and which comprises a support structure 9 formed of tubes or profiles 10 suitably joined together to form a set here of triangular in shape, the structure 9 extending by transverse lugs 11, extending horizontally and intended to be fixed on the vertical uprights 4 of the frame 3 of the glass panels 2.

Le brise-soleil 8 illustré comporte notamment deux structures de support telles que 9 (dont une seule apparaît sur le dessin), ces structures étant réunies par des lames d'occultation 12, fixées à l'un des tubes 10 et s'étendant parallèlement et en avant de la façade du mur, en étant décalées les unes par rapport aux autres, de manière à s'interposer sur les rayons du soleil et à ce que leur ombre portée sur les panneaux 2, limite convenablement le rayonnement solaire reçu directement.The sunshade 8 illustrated in particular comprises two support structures such as 9 (only one of which appears in the drawing), these structures being joined by concealing blades 12, fixed to one of the tubes 10 and extending parallel and in front of the wall facade, being offset from each other, so as to be interposed on the sun's rays and so that their shadow cast on the panels 2, appropriately limits the solar radiation received directly.

Avantageusement, les lames d'occultation 12 peuvent être orientables, simultanément ou isolément.Advantageously, the concealment blades 12 can be orientable, simultaneously or in isolation.

La forme de réalisation du brise-soleil 8 n'est évidemment donnée ici qu'à titre d'exemple, la Figure 1 illustrant une autre variante sous la référence 8', comportant une structure de support 9' de forme différente, sur laquelle sont disposées les lames d'occultation 12', cette fois non seulement parallèles entre elles comme précédemment, mais superposées dans le sens vertical en avant de la façade du mur.The embodiment of the sunshade 8 is obviously given here only by way of example, FIG. 1 illustrating another variant under the reference 8 ′, comprising a support structure 9 ′ of different shape, on which are arranged the shading blades 12 ', this time not only parallel to each other as above, but superimposed in the vertical direction in front of the wall facade.

Selon l'invention, la structure de support 9 de l'élément en porte à faux, est réunie et fixée aux montants verticaux 4 de l'armature 3 par des pièces de liaison 13, schématiquement représentées sur la Figure 1, mais dont les Figures 2 et 3 illustrent plus explicitement la structure et le montage.According to the invention, the support structure 9 of the cantilever element is joined and fixed to the vertical uprights 4 of the frame 3 by connecting pieces 13, schematically shown in Figure 1, but whose Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the structure and the assembly more explicitly.

Sur ces Figures, on retrouve notamment un des montants verticaux 4 de l'armature 3, constitué d'un profilé métallique comprenant une âme centrale 14 et dans l'exemple représenté, des retours parallèles tels que 15 pour des joints d'étanchéité 16, l'ensemble délimitant une feuillure ouverte 5, propre à recevoir, de part et d'autre de l'âme 14, deux panneaux vitrés 2, venant reposer sur ces joints.In these Figures, there is in particular one of the vertical uprights 4 of the frame 3, consisting of a metal profile comprising a central core 14 and in the example shown, parallel returns such as 15 for seals 16, the assembly delimiting an open rebate 5, suitable for receiving, on either side of the core 14, two glazed panels 2, coming to rest on these joints.

De façon classique, les panneaux vitrés 2 ainsi placés en appui contre les montants verticaux 4 de l'armature 3, sont maintenus appliqués contre cette dernière au moyen d'un organe presseur 17 venant s'appuyer contre la surface des panneaux dirigés vers l'extérieur de la façade, ces organes presseurs étant avantageusement réalisés, également au moyen d'un profilé 18, métallique ou non, supportant des joints 19 sensiblement en regard des joints 16 du montant 4 et qui pincent entre eux-mêmes et ces derniers les faces opposées des panneaux vitrés 2.Conventionally, the glass panels 2 thus placed in abutment against the vertical uprights 4 of the frame 3, are kept applied against the latter by means of a pressing member 17 coming to bear against the surface of the panels directed towards the exterior of the facade, these pressing members being advantageously made, also by means of a profile 18, metallic or not, supporting seals 19 substantially facing the seals 16 of the upright 4 and which pinch the faces between themselves and the latter opposite glass panels 2.

Dans un aménagement de ce genre, on conçoit que, si la structure de support 9 de l'élément en porte à faux est directement fixée sur la seule partie apparente à l'extérieur de la façade, à savoir le profilé 18 de l'organe presseur 17, les efforts auxquels est nécessairement soumis en fonctionnement cet élément, du fait de son poids ou en raison d'autres causes, par exemple du vent qui s'exerce sur lui ou encore du poids de la neige qui peut s'accumuler sur les lames extérieures 12, créent un couple qui peut être très important et qui est repris par l'ensemble formé, non seulement par les profilés du montant 4 et du presseur 17, mais également par les panneaux vitrés 2, ce qui n'est pas acceptable.In an arrangement of this kind, it is understood that, if the support structure 9 of the cantilever element is directly fixed to the only visible part outside the facade, namely the profile 18 of the member presser 17, the forces to which this element is necessarily subjected in operation, due to its weight or due to other causes, by example of the wind exerted on it or the weight of snow which can accumulate on the outer blades 12, create a torque which can be very significant and which is taken up by the assembly formed, not only by the profiles the amount 4 and the presser 17, but also by the glass panels 2, which is not acceptable.

Pour éviter cet inconvénient et néanmoins ne pas rompre la continuité de la façade, conformément à l'invention, on rend indépendante la liaison établie entre le montant vertical 4 et la structure de support 9 vis-à-vis de l'organe presseur 17 et par suite des panneaux vitrés 2.To avoid this drawback and nevertheless not to break the continuity of the facade, in accordance with the invention, the connection established between the vertical upright 4 and the support structure 9 is made independent with respect to the pressing member 17 and as a result of the glass panels 2.

A cet effet, on constitue chacune des pièces de liaison 13, en faisant comporter à celle-ci une forme de platine en T 20, comportant une embase plate 21, suffisamment mince pour venir se disposer dans le prolongement de l'âme centrale 14 du profilé constituant le montant 4, cette embase étant solidarisée de cette dernière au moyen de vis d'immobilisation 22.To this end, each of the connecting pieces 13 is formed, by making it comprise a T-shaped plate 20, comprising a flat base 21, thin enough to be disposed in the extension of the central core 14 of the section constituting the upright 4, this base being secured to the latter by means of immobilizing screws 22.

Dans sa partie centrale, l'embase 21 comporte une languette 23, située dans son plan et s'étendant perpendiculairement à la direction de la façade, en se prolongeant au-delà des panneaux vitrés 2, disposés de chaque côté de l'âme centrale 14.In its central part, the base 21 has a tongue 23, located in its plane and extending perpendicular to the direction of the facade, extending beyond the glass panels 2, arranged on each side of the central core 14.

Cette languette 23 présente à son extrémité opposée à l'embase 21, au moins un perçage 24, l'exemple illustré sur les Figures 2 et 3 correspondant à la présence d'un perçage unique de ce genre. En variante, la languette peut comporter plusieurs perçages voisins, voire être associée à une languette complémentaire 23a, telle que schématisée en traits mixtes sur la Figure 2, venant prolonger la première et comportant elle-même un perçage 24a, décalé dans ces conditions par rapport au premier.This tongue 23 has at its end opposite the base 21, at least one bore 24, the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 corresponding to the presence of a single bore of this kind. As a variant, the tongue may comprise several neighboring holes, or even be associated with an additional tongue 23a, as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 2, extending the first and itself comprising a hole 24a, offset under these conditions relative to at first.

Le perçage 24 de la languette 23 est prévu pour coopérer avec une chape en U 25, ménagée à l'extrémité de la patte transversale 11 de la structure de support 9 de l'élément en porte à faux, la liaison entre la chape et la languette étant réalisée au moyen d'un axe d'articulation 26, comportant avantageusement deux parties 27 et 28, à tête épaulée, en appui sur chacune des faces extérieures des bras de la chape 25, ces deux parties étant respectivement mâle et femelle et présentant, pour l'une un filetage, pour l'autre un taraudage correspondant, de telle sorte qu'elles puissent se visser mutuellement en bloquant la chape sur la languette.The bore 24 of the tongue 23 is provided to cooperate with a U-shaped yoke 25, formed at the end of the transverse lug 11 of the support structure 9 of the cantilever element, the connection between the yoke and the tongue being produced by means of a hinge pin 26, advantageously comprising two parts 27 and 28, with shouldered head, bearing on each of the external faces of the arms of the yoke 25, these two parts being respectively male and female and having , for one a thread, for the other a corresponding tapping, so that they can be screwed mutually by blocking the yoke on the tongue.

Par ailleurs et conformément à l'invention, le profilé 18 de l'organe presseur 17 comporte, au droit de la languette 23, une ouverture 29, de forme rectangulaire, correspondant sensiblement à la section droite de la languette, de manière à permettre à cette dernière de traverser librement l'organe presseur dans le fond de son profilé, en dissociant dès lors totalement les efforts qui sont transmis au montant vertical 4 par la platine 20 et la structure de support 9 qui lui est liée, ces efforts n'ayant aucune incidence sur l'organe presseur 18 et par suite sur les panneaux vitrés 2.Furthermore and in accordance with the invention, the profile 18 of the pressing member 17 comprises, in line with the tongue 23, an opening 29, of rectangular shape, corresponding substantially to the cross section of the tongue, so as to allow the latter to freely cross the pressing member in the bottom of its profile, thereby completely dissociating the forces which are transmitted to the vertical upright 4 by the plate 20 and the support structure 9 which is linked to it, these forces having no no impact on the pressing member 18 and consequently on the glass panels 2.

L'organe presseur 17 est fixé par des vis 30 sur l'embase 21 et emprisonne avantageusement entre le fond de son profilé 18 et la partie supérieure de l'embase 21, une pièce d'isolation et d'étanchéité 31, ayant de préférence une forme en U pour venir coiffer l'embase de part et d'autre de celle-ci, comme illustré sur la Figure 3, cette pièce présentant une ouverture de même profil que celle de l'organe presseur pour le passage de la languette.The pressing member 17 is fixed by screws 30 to the base 21 and advantageously traps between the bottom of its profile 18 and the upper part of the base 21, an insulation and sealing part 31, preferably having a U-shape for covering the base on either side of it, as illustrated in Figure 3, this part having an opening of the same profile as that of the pressing member for the passage of the tongue.

Dans les exemples illustrés sur les Figures 4 à 6, on retrouve à chaque fois l'organe presseur 17 et la platine 20, laquelle comporte, comme décrit plus haut, une embase 21, une languette 23 avec un perçage 24 et une chape de liaison 25, celle-ci étant réunie à au moins une patte 11 pour son raccordement avec un tube 10 de la structure de support 9.In the examples illustrated in Figures 4 to 6, there is each time the pressing member 17 and the plate 20, which comprises, as described above, a base 21, a tongue 23 with a bore 24 and a connecting yoke 25, the latter being joined to at least one tab 11 for its connection with a tube 10 of the support structure 9.

Sur les Figures 4 et 4a, la chape 25 comporte trois départs, pour trois pattes 11 et par suite trois tubes 10, lesquels sont disposés selon trois directions perpendiculaires l'une à l'autre, selon deux plans différents.In Figures 4 and 4a, the yoke 25 has three feeders, for three legs 11 and therefore three tubes 10, which are arranged in three directions perpendicular to each other, in two different planes.

Sur les Figures 5 et 5a, la chape 25 est coudée et est réunie à deux pattes 11 formant entre elles un angle droit, l'ensemble étant représenté dans deux plans différents.In Figures 5 and 5a, the yoke 25 is bent and is joined to two legs 11 forming between them a right angle, the assembly being shown in two different planes.

Sur la Figure 6 enfin, la languette 23 est réunie à une patte 11 mais comporte également un prolongement latéral 23a sur lequel est monté un ridoir 32 pour un câble 33 ou analogue, permettant d'ajuster la raideur de celui-ci, monté entre deux platines de fixation séparées et à distance l'une de l'autre, entre lesquelles ce câble est tendu.Finally, in FIG. 6, the tongue 23 is joined to a lug 11 but also includes a lateral extension 23a on which is mounted a rigging screw 32 for a cable 33 or the like, making it possible to adjust the stiffness of the latter, mounted between two fixing plates separated and at a distance from each other, between which this cable is stretched.

Toutes ces Figures illustrent naturellement des réalisations présentées ici à titre purement indicatif, la platine 20 pouvant être réunie à la structure de support 9 de manière à chaque fois différente, par des moyens qui sont en eux-mêmes usuels dans la technique, pour autant qu'ils soient agencés de manière à ce que les efforts qui s'exercent sur cette dernière soient exclusivement repris par le montant vertical 4 et à aucun moment par les panneaux vitrés 2 eux-mêmes.All these Figures naturally illustrate the embodiments presented here for purely indicative purposes, the plate 20 being able to be joined to the support structure 9 in different ways each time, by means which are in themselves usual in the art, provided that 'They are arranged so that the forces exerted on the latter are exclusively taken up by the vertical upright 4 and at no time by the glass panels 2 themselves.

Dès lors, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas aux exemples de réalisation plus spécialement décrits ci-dessus en référence aux dessins annexés ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. Notamment, le brise-soleil plus particulièrement illustré pourrait être substitué par tout autre élément en porte à faux analogue, tel qu'une passerelle, un auvent ou une enseigne, dont le montage ainsi réalisé ne rompt pas la continuité de la façade.Therefore, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiments more specifically described above with reference to the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants. In particular, the sunshade more particularly illustrated could be replaced by any other similar cantilever element, such as a gangway, an awning or a sign, the mounting of which thus produced does not break the continuity of the facade.
