Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for support for an element such as a sunshade, a awning, walkway, sign or other, mounted cantilevered on the vertical facade of a building or similar building, this facade constituting what it is agreed to call in the technique a "curtain wall", that is to say formed of a wall essentially produced by means of adjoining glass panels, held in a discreet fixing frame, joined to the main structure of the facade.
  • a curtain wall that is to say formed of a wall essentially produced by means of adjoining glass panels, held in a discreet fixing frame, joined to the main structure of the facade.
  • the fixing frame usually comprises thin beams, constituting vertical uprights, joined together from place to place by horizontal crosspieces, these longitudinal members delimiting open rebates against which the glass panels before they are blocked in position at the bottom of the rebates which receive them by narrow pressing devices, which pinch the edges panels between themselves and these uprights.
  • the uprights and the organs pressers reported on these exhibit low width, so that, seen from the outside, the wall curtain gives the illusion of a fully glazed facade and keep on going.
  • the support of these elements vis-à-vis the facade is usually carried out by support structures, such as brackets or the like, directly attached to the large work and on which are mounted and immobilized the aforementioned projecting elements.
  • Another method is also to break the continuity curtain wall, especially at one or more floors of the building concerned, at the locations where support brackets must be placed which can then be fixed in the shell, in particular at the right horizontal concrete slabs which delimit these floors.
  • it is necessary to isolate and to dress 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 over its entire height.
  • the present invention relates to a device for support for a cantilever element to be fixed against the external facade of a curtain wall, which avoids these disadvantages, retaining the full continuity of vertical metal uprights of the frame attached to the large work and bearing the glass panels of this facade, while avoiding that the efforts to which this device in use, due to the weight of the item itself or to external causes are not reported on these panels but be taken up exclusively by the amounts, without affecting the glazed panels applied against them.
  • the device considered, for the support of a cantilevered element vis-à-vis the facade vertical of a curtain wall of a building or construction similar, comprising a pressing member and being adapted to be fixed on a vertical upright of a frame bearing the glass panels of the curtain wall, this pressure member being intended to be secured to the vertical upright by the outside to pinch and hold the panels against the amount, is characterized in that it also includes a T-shaped plate and a U-shaped yoke which presents an axis of articulation between its two arms, this plate consisting of a flat base and a tongue central unit perpendicular to the base, which is intended to be positioned and immobilized against the vertical upright, the tongue comprising at minus a hole for the passage of the hinge pin U-shaped yoke, which is extended by at least one fitting suitable for joining it to a connecting means with the cantilevered element, the pressing member having an opening crossed by the central tab of the T-shaped plate, this pressing member being intended to cooperate with specific means to bring it
  • the insulation and sealing part is intended to be mounted between the pressing member and the base of the plate, this part having a shape U-shaped so that it can cover both sides side of the base, on either side of the tongue central.
  • the flat base is designed to be fixed to the upright by screws arranged on the side and on the other side of the central tongue.
  • the means of connection of the yoke to the cantilever element is consisting of at least one tube, secured to a end of the U-shaped clevis hinged on the tongue central of the plate base.
  • the means of connection is constituted by a stretched metal cable between two distinct, separate bases, brought to distance from each other by the vertical upright.
  • the articulation axis of the U-shaped yoke on the central tongue consists of two parts, male and female respectively, the part male with thread screwing into a bore female part threaded, each of the two parts being provided with a shouldered head resting on one and the other of the external faces of the yoke.
  • the tongue has several neighboring holes, each receiving a different articulation axis for as many U-shaped yokes.
  • the tongue has a single hole, the U-shaped yoke being joined to several separate fittings for as many means of connection with the door element to false.
  • the opening made in the pressing member and passed through by the central tab of the plate base has a rectangular shape, whose profile substantially corresponds to the cross section of this tongue, which freely engages in this opening.
  • FIG 1 there is schematically shown under the reference 1 a fraction of a curtain wall for facade of a building or similar building.
  • This facade has a plurality of glass panels such as 2, arranged in the vertical plane 3 of the wall, these panels 2 being supported in a manner known per se in the technique by a rigid frame 3, secured the structural shell of the building (not shown) and comprising in particular, along the longitudinal sides vertical panels 2, metal uprights 4 suitably shaped, with in particular a internal rabbet open 5 to receive each panel.
  • a rigid frame 3 secured the structural shell of the building (not shown) and comprising in particular, along the longitudinal sides vertical panels 2, metal uprights 4 suitably shaped, with in particular a internal rabbet open 5 to receive each panel.
  • the uprights 4 of the frame are joined at distances suitable by crosspieces 6, forming with these amounts a frame in which each of the panels 2, these being practically contiguous in the facade, so that, seen from the outside, it gives an impression of almost total continuity, only being practically visible the upper edge 7 of uprights 4, materializing a vertical line on the part and other of the assembly of the glass panels correspondents.
  • the cantilever element considered is a solar shading, generally referred to as the reference 8 and which includes a support structure 9 formed of tubes or sections 10 suitably joined between them to form a whole here of form triangular, structure 9 extending by transverse legs 11, extending horizontally and provided to be fixed on the vertical uprights 4 of the frame 3 of the glass panels 2.
  • the illustrated sunshade 8 comprises in particular two support structures such as 9 (of which only one appears in the drawing), these structures being joined by masking blades 12, fixed to one of the tubes 10 and extending parallel and in front of the facade of the wall, being offset from each other, by way to get in the sun’s rays and that their shadow cast on the panels 2, limit the solar radiation received directly.
  • the masking blades 12 can be orientable, simultaneously or individually.
  • FIG. 8 illustrating another variant under the reference 8 ', having a support structure 9 'in shape different, on which the blades are arranged blackout 12 ', this time not only parallel between them as before, but superimposed in the vertical direction in front of the wall facade.
  • the support structure 9 of the element cantilever is assembled and fixed to the uprights vertical 4 of the frame 3 by connecting pieces 13, schematically represented in Figure 1, but of which Figures 2 and 3 illustrate more explicitly the structure and mounting.
  • the uprights vertical 4 of the frame 3 consisting of a profile metallic 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 the part and on the other side of the core 14, two glass panels 2, coming rest on these joints.
  • the glass panels 2 thus placed in support 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 facing outward from the facade, these pressing members being advantageously made, also by means of a metal profile 18 or not, supporting seals 19 substantially opposite seals 16 of the upright 4 and which pinch between themselves and the latter the opposite faces of the glass panels 2.
  • each of the connecting pieces is formed 13, by making it have a form of platinum in T 20, having a flat base 21, sufficiently thin to come and dispose in the extension of the central core 14 of the profile constituting the upright 4, this base being secured to the latter by means locking screw 22.
  • the base 21 includes a tongue 23, located in its plane and extending perpendicular to the direction of the facade, extending beyond the glass panels 2, arranged each side of the central core 14.
  • This tab 23 has at its end opposite to the base 21, at least one bore 24, the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 corresponding to the presence of a unique drilling like this.
  • the tongue may have several neighboring holes, or even be associated with a complementary tongue 23a, such as shown schematically in phantom in Figure 2, coming extend the first and itself include a hole 24a, offset in these conditions from the first.
  • the bore 24 of the tongue 23 is provided to cooperate with a U-shaped yoke 25, provided at the end of the leg 11 of the support structure 9 of the element cantilever, the connection between the screed and the tongue being produced by means of a hinge pin 26, advantageously comprising two parts 27 and 28, to shouldered head, resting on each of the outer faces arms of the yoke 25, these two parts being respectively male and female and having, for one a thread, for the other a corresponding thread, of so that they can screw each other in blocking the yoke on the tongue.
  • profile 18 of the pressing member 17 comprises, to the right of the tongue 23, an opening 29, of rectangular shape, substantially corresponding to the cross section of the tab, so as to allow the latter to freely cross the pressing member in the bottom of his streamlined, thus fully dissociating the efforts 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 impact on the pressing member 17 and then on the glass panels 2.
  • the pressing member 17 is fixed by screws 30 to the base 21 and advantageously traps between the bottom of his profile 18 and the upper part of the base 21, a insulation and sealing part 31, preferably having a U shape to come over the base on the side and other 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.
  • the yoke 25 has three feeders, for three legs 11 and consequently three tubes 10, which are arranged in three directions perpendicular to each other, in two planes different.
  • the yoke 25 is bent and is joined to two legs 11 forming an angle between them right, the whole being represented in two planes different.
  • the tongue 23 is joined to a tab 11 but also has a lateral extension 23a on which a turnbuckle 32 is mounted for a cable 33 or analogous, allowing to adjust the stiffness thereof, mounted between two separate fixing plates and distance from each other, between which this cable is tense.
  • the plate 20 can be joined to the structure of support 9 in a different way each time, by means which are in themselves usual in the art, as long as they are arranged in such a way that the efforts exerted on the latter be exclusively taken up by vertical upright 4 and to none moment by the glass panels 2 themselves, and provided that it does not depart from the scope of the invention as as defined in the claims.
  • the sunshade more particularly illustrated could be substituted by any other cantilever element similar, such as a walkway, awning or sign, whose assembly thus produced does not break the continuity of the facade.
  • the support structure of the solar shading blades have been represented in two modes of production with tubes forming, in one case a framework of triangular shape, and in the other arranged vertically, other variants could be provided, for example with the blade support tube extending horizontally from the facade, the blades being carried by the structure while extending substantially in vertical planes.
